I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 271 Leaving the Imperial Capital

In that thrilling battle of the imperial capital, the intensity of the battle was beyond imagination. The battle was filled with smoke during the day, and the battle was illuminated by the moonlight at night. The alternation of day and night was non-stop. The human army was exhausted after a long and fierce battle, and their strength was gradually exhausted.

At dawn, a group of white-armored knights joined the battlefield, injecting the light of hope into the almost desperate human army and allowing the battle to continue.

At noon, when humans were in despair again, at this critical moment, the berserk potion that the orc army relied on lost its effect. The orcs, who were originally extremely ferocious, fell one after another, and their powerful strength disappeared in an instant. This sudden change became the turning point for the victory of mankind.

The human army seized this opportunity and fought back. With tenacious will and firm belief, they launched the final attack. Courage burned in their hearts and hope shone in their eyes. Every soldier knew that this was the moment that would decide their fate. They could not give up or retreat.

In the end, the efforts of mankind were rewarded. The defeat of the orcs marked the end of this long battle, and mankind welcomed the dawn of victory. They used their sweat and blood to create the glory of victory and defend the peace of the imperial capital.

This battle is a test of human courage and tenacity, and a testament to their unity and wisdom. Behind the victory are the efforts and sacrifices of countless brave warriors. Their stories will be remembered in the long river of history and become an example to inspire future generations. The victory of the Battle of the Imperial Capital is not only the glory of mankind, but also a symbol of hope and confidence in the future.

"Lord Argunas, the imperial capital and Prince William are now in your care." Alpha stared at the gradually calming battlefield, commanding the knights in an orderly manner to carry out rescue work while collecting spoils.

"The outcome of this battle has been decided, and it's time for us to leave." Alpha knew that the outcome of a war was not something that could be decided by an individual. He chose to leave, but he still had a little worry in his heart.

"Governor Alpha, what exactly did you mean by that?" Williams had benefited a lot from fighting alongside Alpha during this period. However, William still didn't quite understand what Alpha said.

"You will understand it in the future. However, the dark vortex of power is complex and dangerous, and you are not suitable to be involved in it." Alpha thought to himself that if Argunas was not with William, he would find it difficult to leave William alone.

"Thank you Lord Alpha for your advice. Leave the rest to me!" Yagunas certainly understood Alpha's concerns. As the royal uncle, he was very grateful to Alpha for protecting William throughout the whole process.

"All troops retreat!" Alpha watched the gates of the imperial capital open again and immediately ordered the battlefield to be moved. Not only that, but also those powerful mutant prisoners of war needed to be taken away together.

One person has three horses, and now one of them is occupied by a mutant prisoner, which seriously affects Alpha's speed of movement. The team that set out from the imperial capital seems to be targeting Alpha. So, a chase between you and me begins.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy is pursuing us relentlessly. If this continues, our war horses may not be able to hold on." Tashan came riding on his war beast and reported the situation to Alpha.

"Speed ​​up and move forward another ten kilometers. If the enemy is still chasing us, we will split up. Whichever side the enemy is chasing will abandon the mutant prisoners and escape." Alpha was unwilling to give up the high-end combat power of these mutants easily, but also did not want to be hostile to the people of the imperial capital, so he could only choose to escape.

...

"My lord, why are those people running away? We are just asking the heroes to go back to receive the highest etiquette ceremony." The Holy Knight who was chasing the Alpha Knights asked in confusion.

They didn't understand why these people would avoid such a high honor. Were they really filled with darkness and unwilling to accept the call of the God of Light?

The commander stared at the direction where the other party fled, with jealousy in his eyes. He knew very well that if these people returned to the imperial capital, they would attract attention from all sides, especially the knight who triggered the light magic, which made the commander very unhappy.

...

"Prepare to split up your forces." Just as Alpha gave the order, unexpectedly, the enemy stopped.

"Tashan, you go first. Darwin, Hoyce, stay with me and take a look." Alpha realized at this moment that the other party's purpose seemed not to be to chase him, but to drive him away. This move made Alpha feel very confused. He decided to stay and find out the real intention of the other party.

On the battlefield, there was a delicate and tense atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides. The Holy Knights held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any possible battle. Alpha and his companions remained highly alert, carefully observing each other's every move.

Finally, the commander could not help but break the silence: "Heroes of the Alpha Knights, why are you avoiding our invitation? Are you afraid to face your own hearts?" There was an obvious provocation in his words.

Alpha understood the other party's implication, but he remained calm and responded: "We are not afraid of any challenge, we just don't want to be dragged into your disputes for no reason." His tone was firm and he expressed his position.

"You are heroes, how could you be involved in power disputes? This is just an excuse you make for your cowardice." The commander was obviously unwilling to give up the attack on Alpha easily.

"In the name of the Third Holy Knights of the German Empire, I now order you to come back with me. Otherwise, you will be regarded as a disrespect to our Holy Knights, and I will take the most severe measures to punish you." The commander ordered loudly, trying to use his authority to force Alpha to submit.

However, Alpha was not intimidated by his threats. He quickly came up with an excuse: "The wheat in my family is almost ripe, and I have to go home to harvest it, otherwise the crops will suffer. Please forgive me, I will definitely come to your house to apologize next time I have the chance." After that, he turned around and left with his companions.

As the conversation deepened, Alpha gradually understood the other party's true intention. It turned out that these holy knights did not sincerely invite them to return to accept the honor, but intended to use them to achieve some political purpose.

After learning the truth, Alpha's position became more resolute. He warned his companions: "We must not let their conspiracy succeed. We must keep a clear head and move forward." His companions expressed their support, knowing that only by unity can they overcome the difficulties in front of them.

Alpha didn't know what the truth was, but he had a feeling that once he stayed in the imperial capital, it would be difficult to leave. As for Alpha's team members, they just followed Alpha's instructions, and the truth was not important to them.

If you want Alpha to stay, you must have a last resort, such as putting a knife to his neck.

……

"Commander, why don't you order them to stay in the name of the Knights of Light? This way they will definitely not dare to refuse us." The knight asked in confusion.

"What if they continue to refuse?" the commander asked.

"How dare they refuse? That would be against the Holy See!" the knight shouted proudly.

The Knights of Light are knights of the Holy See, affiliated with the Holy See of Light, and stationed in various empires. The Holy Knights are only knights of the Empire, and rejecting the Holy Knights is just an internal matter of the Empire. Obviously, the commander did not want to make a big deal, his purpose was just to let these people go back to receive the medals, and he did not want them to go back at all.

From a historical perspective, the authority of the Holy See was unchallengeable for a long time in the past. As the representative of the Holy See, the orders of the Knights of Light were often regarded as sacred and inviolable. However, as time went on, the strength of various empires gradually grew, and their dependence on the Holy See gradually decreased. For example, the Ninth Knights of Light in Alpha. In this case, the Holy Knights may think that they have enough autonomy to decide whether to obey the orders of the Knights of Light.

From a social perspective, the pride and honor of the knights also played a role here. For a knight, refusing an order from the Knights of Light could be seen as an insult to his honor.

However, they may also take other factors into consideration, such as their own mission and responsibilities, and their relationship with the Empire, etc. These factors may cause them to hesitate and conflict when facing the orders of the Knights of Light.

In addition, the commander's thoughts are also worth exploring in depth. He may have his own considerations, perhaps he thinks there are other ways to solve the problem, or he is worried that giving orders in the name of the Knights of Light will cause unnecessary trouble.

……

"Lord Alpha, which direction should we go next?" At this time, everyone had already gone deep into the dense forest and the sky was gradually darkening. Tashan asked worriedly.

Alpha looked determined and said calmly, "Keep going for another ten kilometers, and then find a place to camp and rest." He made the decision without hesitation, as if he knew the forest well. As for the possible dangers, Alpha did not think too much about it. He only had one goal in mind.

Alpha's thoughts had long drifted far away, and he was thinking about future plans. This trip to the German Empire opened his eyes. The profound heritage of the German Empire was like a towering mountain, which shocked Alpha. He realized that his country still had a long way to go compared to the German Empire.

Especially the court magicians he met at the end made Alpha realize his own shortcomings. He once asked Darwin if he had the ability to defeat the strongest magician, and the answer he got was that Darwin's magic could only bomb an area the size of a football field at most, and it needed to be prepared in advance. However, the power of the court magician was enough to destroy a city. The gap was like the difference between heaven and earth, and it was obviously two different levels.

This also made Alpha realize that the world was much more powerful than he had imagined. He even began to doubt whether they could live well without him. However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and Alpha quickly cheered up. He knew that he still had a lot to learn and grow.

At present, the mutant problem in the southern part of the German Empire has been solved. What remains is to clean up the remaining mutants in the area. The supply of mutants in the north seems to have been interrupted. I believe that the mutant problem will be completely solved soon. Alpha secretly vowed in his heart that he must make his country stronger and no longer be controlled by others.
