I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 226 Elite Expedition

"Lord Alpha, we are short of weapons and equipment. Two rifles are missing." Mark reported the battle situation to Alpha worriedly. There was a hint of anxiety in Mark's voice, because magic rifles were important weapons in their battles. Lack of them might have an adverse effect on the battle, and if they were controlled by the enemy, it would be very dangerous.

Alpha's eyes were firm and calm, and he asked calmly, "What are our casualties?" Alpha knew that it was crucial to stay calm and think clearly when facing difficulties. Alpha had to fully understand the situation in order to make wise decisions.

Alpha looked at the group of motivated warriors in front of him, and a sense of heroism surged in his heart. He believed that no matter what kind of test was waiting ahead, they had enough ability and wisdom to overcome the difficulties. They were a brave and fearless team, and their unity and perseverance would be the key to overcoming all difficulties.

"Lord Alpha, we lost eight brave warriors in the battle, and there are twelve wounded, and two soldiers are missing." There was a hint of guilt in Mark's voice, and the missing soldiers made him feel ashamed.

"The current priority is to save people. Other things can be put aside for now." Alpha was secretly worried. The thing he was most worried about had happened. The magic rifle might have been lost, which might have a serious impact on their mission.

Just as Alpha was using light magic to heal the wounded, an unconscious soldier woke up and revealed a shocking news: two soldiers attacked them and stole their rifles.

Alpha made a prompt decision and asked Mark to comfort the wounded and ensure that they received timely treatment and care. Alpha decided to handle the rest of the matter himself. He wanted to find out the two traitors and make them accountable for their actions.

"Damn spies! Shameless traitors! I will never let them go easily!" Mark's anger erupted like a volcano, his roar resounded through the sky, and he was extremely angry at the traitors' behavior. Mark was determined to find and severely punish the two traitors in order to restore the unity and stability of the team.

Alpha and Mark immediately launched a comprehensive and in-depth investigation. They carefully interrogated the witnesses, not missing any details, and carefully searched for evidence at the scene, gradually uncovering the truth of the incident. It turned out that the two missing soldiers had been bribed by the enemy. In the fierce battle, they took advantage of the chaos and secretly attacked their companions and took away the important rifle.

Alpha and Mark acted quickly and sent a team of elite fighters to pursue the traitors along their escape route. After a day and a night of arduous tracking, they finally found traces of the enemy in a secluded valley.

However, the number of enemies was much larger than expected. Moreover, at least half of them were mutants, who had strong combat capabilities and special skills. In addition, the enemy also sent a lot of spies, and once a large number of people approached, they would definitely be detected.

Faced with such a severe situation, Alpha made a wise decision. He left only a small number of people to continue the investigation. The current priority was to ensure the safe escort of the supplies back to the New City of Beth, and other matters had to be put on hold for the time being.

When the dawn broke through the sky, the reinforcements from the New City of Beth arrived in time. Alpha handed the task of escorting the supplies to Tasli, and he himself prepared to lead Lilia and Fattam's 100 knights to continue chasing the fleeing traitors.

"Lord Alpha, we can still continue fighting! This time the traitors slipped away from my hands. If I can't get rid of them personally, it will be a shame of my life." Mark's eyes were burning with anger, and he was obviously unwilling to let this matter go.

Looking at the determined expressions on Mark and the other warriors' faces, Alpha finally agreed to Mark's request.

However, Alpha resolutely embarked on the journey with only Mark's fifty riflemen, Fatam's fifty assault soldiers, Lilia's twenty scouts, and his own ten guards. The rest of the personnel were all sent back.

"Lord Alpha, can we really defeat the enemy with just the limited force we have? You are of noble status, why don't you go back first and leave the enemy to us." Mark said worriedly. He was very worried about Alpha's safety.

"Don't worry, I believe we will be able to win. You will be in charge of this operation, and I will assist you on the side. Just think of me as a recorder." Alpha knew that his duty was not to directly participate in the battle, but to serve as a commander and use his wisdom and strategy.

Although Mark still had some concerns, he had no choice but to accept Alpha's orders when he saw how determined he was. He knew that Alpha's wisdom and decision-making ability were the key to their victory.

Under Alpha's careful planning, they developed a detailed action plan. First, Lilia's scouts would go deep into the enemy camp to collect information about the enemy's movements and defenses. Then, based on the results of the reconnaissance, Fattam's assault troops would choose the right time and place to launch an attack, while Mark's riflemen would provide long-range fire support.

After the operation began, everything went very smoothly. Lilia's scouts successfully obtained the enemy's defense map, and Fatham's assault troops took advantage of the cover of night and quietly approached the enemy's outer camp. Mark's riflemen found the best shooting position at a high altitude.

When night fell completely and everything was silent, Fattam gave the signal to attack. The assault soldiers rushed down the mountain like a tiger, breaking through the enemy's outer defense at lightning speed. The riflemen fired accurately, effectively suppressing the enemy's counterattack.

In the chaos, the enemy commander panicked and tried to organize resistance, but Alpha had already seen through the enemy's intention. He thought carefully and deployed an elite team in advance. Their mission was to intercept any enemy commander who tried to escape.

The battle was over in a short time. The enemy suffered heavy losses in the chaos, but Alpha's team won a brilliant victory at a small cost. Mark witnessed all this and admired Alpha's wisdom and strategy.

"Lord Alpha, your strategy is simply a stroke of genius. I must work harder to learn from you in the future." Mark said sincerely.

Alpha smiled and patted Mark on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "Everyone's strength is an important part of the team. Our victory is inseparable from the hard work of every soldier."

This victory greatly boosted the morale of Alpha's team, and they firmly believed that as long as they were united, there would be no insurmountable difficulties. Alpha also clearly understood that although his wisdom and strategy were important, without the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers, victory would be impossible.

Alpha basically gave the next task to Mark. After all, they had just defeated only the enemy's peripheral forces. The real enemy's main force was hiding in the mountains and it was impossible for them to set up an ambush here in advance. Alpha believed that after the experience of this battle, Mark had enough ability and confidence to face the next challenge. As for himself, he needed to conserve his energy and be fully prepared for the upcoming final showdown with the enemy's main force.

"Damn it! Which bastard ate one of our squads? We must not let him go easily!" Commander Dick was furious, his roar echoed in the air, as if to shatter everything around him. His eyes were full of raging anger and determination, as if the enemy was already in his pocket, waiting for him to tear it into pieces.

As the deputy captain of the cavalry supporting the replacement of the Crossolf family, Dick shouldered a heavy responsibility. Previously, Macron had successfully sneaked into Cross, and the outer defense mission was given to Dick to take full responsibility.

Since the Cross Freedom Alliance has clear regulations, no group's individual armed forces can exceed 200 people. Therefore, Dick's troops, which have 300 to 400 people, have a clear advantage in numbers. They are not only equipped with advanced weapons, but also have a strong cyborg force as a solid backing. In Dick's eyes, their strength is strong enough to stand out from the crowd.

However, it was this attitude of underestimating the enemy that made him inadvertently make a big mistake, resulting in the innocent deaths of fifty soldiers. What's worse, they knew nothing about the identity of the enemy, which undoubtedly added many difficulties to their revenge.

This painful lesson was like a blow to Dick's head, which made him fall into deep self-blame and confusion. He began to reflect on whether there were any omissions in his tactics and command, and also realized that the enemy might be more cunning and powerful than he thought.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Dick made a prompt decision to adjust the strategy and strengthen reconnaissance and defense. He sent more scouts to go deep into the enemy camp to collect intelligence about the enemy and redeployed the troops to ensure that every link was impeccable.

In the following battles, Dick became more cautious and decisive. He knew that every decision was related to the life and death of the soldiers. He must go all out, not only to avenge his dead comrades, but also to protect every remaining life.

At the same time, he deeply understood that only through unity and cooperation can we defeat powerful enemies and accomplish difficult tasks.

"Lord Dick, could this attack be a revenge by the Gust family?" the counselor speculated.

Dick pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions at this time. But no matter who it is, I will make them pay the price."

As the investigation progressed, some clues gradually surfaced. It turned out that the attackers were another mysterious armed force. They acted strangely and had strong combat effectiveness. This army had been cruising around the camp, making it difficult to figure out.

Dick made a prompt decision and convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures with his advisers and officers. Everyone agreed that if they wanted to defeat this mysterious force in one fell swoop, they must abandon the original tactics and adopt a more flexible and changeable combat strategy.

Therefore, Dick immediately began to adjust the organization and combat plan of the troops. He strengthened the training of soldiers and improved their combat effectiveness and adaptability. At the same time, he also strengthened the connection with other friendly forces and built a close alliance to fight against this mysterious force. However, the messenger sent out could not leave the camp because the camp was completely blocked at this moment.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy has suddenly changed their strategy and no longer divides their troops to pursue us. In this case, how should we deal with it?" Mark asked anxiously. Previously, he had successfully defeated the enemy's cavalry who broke through the encirclement many times, making them dare not attack easily. However, now he found that he could no longer easily capture the lone enemy as before.

Alpha pondered for a moment and said, "Since the enemy is unwilling to come out, we will find a way to lure them out. The enemy has the advantage in manpower, and as long as they find our traces, they will definitely send a large number of cavalry to pursue us." Although Alpha was only serving as a staff officer at this time, his wisdom and experience still played a key role in the entire battle situation.

Mark's mind turned, and he said excitedly: "Lord Alpha, I have an idea. We can deliberately set a trap somewhere to attract the enemy's attention. Once the enemy finds our tracks and sends troops to pursue us, we will have the opportunity to eat them."

Alpha nodded in agreement and reminded Mark: "That's right, remember the 16-character motto: 'When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue'. As long as you can flexibly use this guerrilla tactic, you will be invincible."

In the following battle, Mark acted according to Alpha's strategy. They carefully set a trap at a key location and then cleverly exposed their whereabouts. As expected, the enemy sent a large number of cavalry to pursue.
