I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 198 Entering the Devil's Mountain Range

"Lily, why don't you stay in Campesi and follow the revolutionary army, but instead choose to follow me to the Devil's Mountains?" Alpha led a team of nearly fifty people and stepped into the Devil's Mountains, which was undoubtedly an improvement in strength.

Lily, the female warrior carrying a huge mace, replied a little shyly: "Captain Apollo, because I firmly believe that you will not abandon us, just like Sister Jones, she holds the same view."

At this time, the female warrior turned her gaze to the dozen or so modified humans and added, "And they think so too." These modified humans were wearing coats, and their expressions could not be seen clearly.

"We actually have nowhere to go, and no one is willing to accept us. If I had a choice, I would not want to enter the Devil's Mountains." Although the cyborgs were persuaded by Alpha, both the government army and the revolutionary army had deep fear and hostility towards them. That's why they chose Alpha's mercenary group.

Alpha reminded loudly: "No matter why you follow me, we are all a team now. I will treat everyone equally and will never favor any party. My team must abide by the principle of not abandoning or giving up.

If you don't want to enter the Devil's Mountain, you can wait for us at the exit. I won't force anyone."

"If you want to leave, just tell me directly and I will provide you with money and supplies. But if anyone deserts, I will never let him go." Alpha's voice echoed in the woods.

However, one of the modified people was obviously very familiar with the Devil's Mountains. He said: "That's because you don't understand the horror of the Devil's Mountains at all. It is the gate to hell, and no one can walk out of it."

Alpha responded firmly: "No matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, as long as we unite and work together, I don't think there is anything we can't overcome."

Alpha's words were as firm as steel, and his determination was as unshakable as a rock. With his incomparable persuasiveness, he not only convinced the team members, but also made himself more determined. Every step into the Devil's Mountains was filled with endless unknowns and dangers.

The trees in the Dark Forest are so tall and dense that they seem like an impregnable fortress. The thick canopy blocks the sunlight from reaching the bottom of the forest, making the entire environment dark. According to rumors, this is the habitat of various strange creatures, and there are many lost travelers who will never find their way home.

After several days, the team's progress was much slower than expected. Not only did they have to struggle to find a way forward, but they also had to deal with mysterious creatures that suddenly appeared. Some of these creatures were wearing spiked armor, and some could spray deadly venom. Every encounter with them put the team in a life-and-death struggle.

However, during this difficult journey, Alpha remained calm and resourceful. He commanded the team and responded to every crisis in an orderly manner. In the battle, Jones showed his superb medical skills, and Alpha used light magic to speed up the recovery of his teammates, which saved everyone from danger again and again.

Lily and the other fighters performed heroically in the battle, and the cyborgs, with their extraordinary strength and abilities, helped the team escape danger many times.

After days of arduous trekking, they finally successfully passed the most dangerous and densely populated area and came to a relatively open area, where they got a brief respite.

Alpha sat by the campfire, staring at the dancing flames, his mind drifting far away, thinking about his next plan. Lily walked over to him and handed him a piece of freshly grilled meat.

"Captain Apollo, we have already entered the heart of the Dark Forest. What should we do next?" There was a hint of worry in Lily's voice.

Alpha took the meat with a faint smile on his face. "We will take a short rest here and then continue our journey. According to the information provided by the flying creature we captured, we should be not far from our target."

However, Alpha was also very surprised. He didn't expect that there really were birdmen in this dark forest. But now Alpha encounters werewolves, bearmen, cyborgs, and vampires. Everything is no longer strange to him. This is not the world before Zhang Mo traveled through time. It is completely different.

At this time, a modified person approached, and he was obviously more relaxed than before. He questioned: "Captain Apollo, do you really intend to trust us? How can you do this when neither the government army nor the revolutionary army can accept us?"

Alpha looked at him seriously and said slowly, "On this road full of unknowns, what we need is not only courage and strength, but more importantly trust and cooperation. You are part of the team, and I trust your abilities and sense of responsibility as a companion.

You were once human, and this is not your fault. Secondly, power itself is neither good nor evil. The source of good and evil always lies in human beings themselves, so I choose to believe you. "

These words made the cyborg silent for a moment, and then he nodded to show his understanding.

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight passed through the mountains and fell on the camp, everyone was ready to set off. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns, everyone in the team was closely connected by Alpha's trust, and every step they took was more determined.

In the following days, under the leadership of Alpha, they bravely overcame numerous difficulties. They went deep into the deepest part of the dark forest, exploring the mysteries within, and discovered many precious resources and hidden secrets. After going through countless challenges, each member has achieved significant growth, and the trust and cooperation between the team has reached an unprecedented level.

Finally, on the seventh day, they arrived at the foot of the Devil's Mountain Range. Next, they would face the passage to hell...

When the team arrived at the foot of the Devil's Mountain Range, a heavy feeling of depression enveloped everyone's heart like a shadow. Before their eyes was a huge black hole, with a cold atmosphere around the hole, as if it was a bottomless abyss that could swallow all life. This was the legendary Hell Passage, a place where even the bravest explorers failed to survive.

Alpha stood at the front of the team, took a deep breath, and then looked back at each team member. His voice was firm and steady: "This is our last journey. Once we enter this passage, there may be no turning back. I will not force anyone to move forward, but if we can cross this passage, perhaps we can find new hope."

Lily and the other soldiers exchanged firm glances. Although they were nervous, they knew there was no way back after going through so many hardships and obstacles. Jones said softly, "We have come so far. Now is not the time to give up."

Alpha left behind eight wounded soldiers and two cyborgs. He warned them, "You are our last line of defense. No matter what happens, you must hold on here." He believed that with the unity of himself and other team members, they would surely succeed.

Just as the team was about to enter the passage, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a series of low roars came from the cave. Then, several huge creatures crawled out from the inside of the cave, their eyes were like burning charcoal, emitting an ominous red light.

"It seems that our arrival has disturbed the 'guardian' here." Alpha drew out his sword, his voice calm but with a hint of determination, "Prepare for battle, maintain formation, we must resist their attack."

The battle unfolded quickly and fiercely. Lily and the warriors showed fearless courage and superb skills, while the cyborgs exerted their extraordinary strength. Under Alpha's precise command, they launched a thrilling fight with these mysterious creatures.

Jones and other non-frontline combatants were responsible for holding the rear. They used relatively simple light magic to provide healing and benefits to their partners fighting on the front line.

Jones is a gifted magician, especially in the field of light magic, her comprehension ability is beyond ordinary people. He can quickly master the magic skills taught by Alpha, and even Alpha himself only uses fighting spirit to stimulate his potential to perform light magic. Of course, Jones only knows this kind of magic at present, because this is the only thing Alpha knows.

After an arduous resistance, they finally repelled the first round of attacks from these creatures and successfully broke into the Devil's Mountains. From the outside, the Devil's Mountains were just a few isolated peaks, but once you stepped into them, you would fall into an endless gray world that seemed to have no end.

"We can't stay here for too long. The attack of these creatures is just the beginning." Alpha warned, and then took the lead to step into the passage. "Stay alert and follow my footsteps closely."

In order to avoid the terrible monster, Alpha went into the cave without hesitation, and the team members followed closely, stepping into the deep cave full of unknowns. The passage was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and death. They could only rely on Alpha's light magic to illuminate the way forward.

As they went deeper, suddenly, a ray of light appeared at the end of the passage. Alpha quickened his pace, and when the light became brighter and brighter, they finally walked out of the passage. The scene before them made them dumbfounded - a hidden valley surrounded by mountains appeared before them, with bright sunshine, birds singing and flowers blooming, which formed a sharp contrast with the darkness they had just experienced.

"We...we succeeded?" Lily could hardly believe her eyes.

Alpha smiled and nodded, "Yes, we succeeded. This will be our new starting point."

The team members hugged each other to celebrate, and even the cyborgs showed their emotions at this moment. Although they knew that this journey was only the first step of their long journey, at least they had proved that no matter how difficult the challenge was, as long as they were united, nothing was impossible.
