I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 181 Knights

After defeating the monster and continuing to go deeper into the forest, Alpha and his team realized that the mercenaries were very close to their position. They had to use the cover of the forest to get rid of the pursuit as soon as possible.

"We need to split up and distract the mercenaries," Alpha suggested.

"But that would be too dangerous, we might lose contact," Darwin responded worriedly.

"We can use these special flares and launch them if we encounter danger or find a safe rendezvous point." Alpha took out several flares from his backpack.

So, everyone agreed to split into two groups, Alpha, Gunn and Meiyi in one group, Darwin, Monkey and the other two ninjas in the other group, and Liv followed Darwin, after all, this group was basically long-range attack, and the risk factor was less. They agreed to meet at the other side of the forest.

Alpha's group tried to keep a low profile as they moved to avoid attracting any unnecessary attention. However, when they passed through a dense bush, they were suddenly discovered by a group of mercenaries.

"Run!" Alpha shouted loudly, and they quickly crossed the bushes, using the complex terrain to get rid of the mercenaries.

At the same time, Monkey's team was also being chased, and they used special operations stealth skills to avoid the mercenaries' search.

Listening to the battle in the forest, Alpha and his team of ten seemed to be preparing something.

Deep in the forest, Alpha, Gunn and Meiyi's team fought a desperate battle with the mercenaries who were chasing them. Faced with a large number of mercenaries, they could only rely on the terrain of the forest and their own martial arts to resist.

"Leave no one alive!" Alpha shouted in a low voice. He knew that if they left anyone alive, their whereabouts would be revealed to more pursuers.

Gunn swung his greatsword, each strike carrying the force of a gust of wind, pushing back the oncoming mercenaries. Meiyi nimbly moved between the trees, her double swords harvesting the lives of the enemies like a ghost.

Meanwhile, the team of Monkey, Darwin and Liv was also being chased. Monkey used his agility to jump between trees and shoot arrows, each of which hit the target accurately. Darwin used his magic to summon vines and lightning to create chaos and block the pursuers.

Liv covered from behind, her arrows were like the summons of the god of death, taking the lives of the enemies one after another.

After a fierce battle, the two groups finally succeeded in shaking off the pursuers, but Alpha did not evacuate immediately to reunite with Liv, but chose to stay.

"Now we have only defeated the enemy's vanguard. The next step is a real battle. I have decided that since the enemy will not let us go, I will swallow them up." Alpha had a sinister expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was not going to show mercy.

"Lord Alpha, we will do what you say." Gunn fully supported Alpha.

"They must be thinking that we've run away, but I won't. I'm going to transform into a hunter and wander around. Then I'm going to rely on Meiyi's reconnaissance ability. I'm going to swallow up the enemy's power piece by piece." Alpha quickly thought of a countermeasure.

"Leave the reconnaissance to me. I'll report immediately if any enemy team acts alone." Meiyi didn't complain and gave her full support.

So, Alpha, Gunn and Meiyi began to wander around in the forest. Using Meiyi's reconnaissance ability and Alpha's tactical mind, they lurked in the dark like hunters, waiting for their prey to appear.

Whenever a mercenary team acts alone, Meiyi will quickly discover and inform Alpha. Then, Alpha and Gunn will suddenly attack like a tiger descending from the mountain and quickly eliminate the enemy.

This tactic caught the pursuers off guard. The Alpha Team, whom they thought had escaped, actually did the opposite and became their nightmare.

As time went on, Alpha and his men gradually weakened the strength of the pursuers, creating an opportunity for the final escape. However, the enemies began to gather, making it impossible for Alpha to find an opportunity to attack.

"Lord Alpha, we have successfully defeated the enemy and made them dare not act alone, so we can leave." Three consecutive days of high-intensity fighting made Meiyi exhausted.

"We will launch another raid at night. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will leave immediately." There are still nearly two hundred enemies, which is a huge threat.

"But now the enemies are gathered together, we don't stand a chance at all!" Meiyi didn't know what to do. Even the enemy's reconnaissance team would not leave the brigade for one kilometer, so Meiyi did not dare to act rashly.

"I will attack the enemy base camp at night. I will attract the enemy to attack actively. If the enemy sets a trap for Gunn, you will attack from the flank. If the enemy does not pursue, then we will just leave." Alpha decided to go for it.

As night fell, Alpha approached the enemy's camp quietly, making some noises on purpose to attract the enemy's attention.

The enemy thought that Alpha Group was launching another sneak attack, so a large number of enemies poured out of the camp and tried to surround Alpha.

Gunn was waiting for his chance in the dark. When the enemy's attention was drawn to Alpha, he and his team members suddenly attacked from the flank and fiercely attacked the enemy's weak points.

In the chaos, Alpha and Gunn's teams quickly joined together, and they swept through like a gust of wind, causing huge casualties to the enemy. Then, taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

"Chase!" The commander of the mercenary team roared angrily. He could not accept suffering such a heavy blow again in the middle of the night.

The mercenaries mounted their horses and tried to chase Alpha and his men. However, in the dark forest, their movements seemed clumsy and slow.

The Alpha team used the familiar terrain and the cover of night to easily shake off the pursuers. They shuttled through the forest, leaving a trail of doubts and fears like ghosts.

"How could they disappear so quickly?" a mercenary asked in confusion.

"These people are not ordinary fugitives, they are all masters." Another mercenary exclaimed.

Finally, the Alpha team managed to escape the pursuers' encirclement. They continued to move forward and disappeared into the night.

A few days later, they finally reached the border of the forest. There, they did not find Liv and the others. They seemed to have lost their way. After all, the forest was so big and there were so many exits. Alpha and the others were ready to hand over the evidence in their hands to the officials of the empire.

After a day of action, everyone finally found a small town and marked the location. They deviated from the target by nearly a thousand kilometers and left marks. Everyone rested for a day, purchased supplies and prepared to leave.

Just when Alpha and the others were about to leave, a large group of Fatalia Empire soldiers surrounded the town, seemingly with murderous intent towards Alpha and his dozen men.

"They are robbers, kill them without mercy." Without any nonsense, the knights rushed straight into the town, not caring whether they were enemies or friends, they killed anyone they saw.

"Damn it! These people are worse than bandits." Gun roared in anger when he saw the atrocities committed by the imperial soldiers.

"Kill out."

"Lord Alpha, are we going to ignore those innocent people?" Gun asked hesitantly.

"Their target is not us. If we leave, they will naturally leave." Of course the real reason is that Alpha is afraid of death, and he will surely die if he stays.

"Let's continue to charge into the Dark Forest." Facing five hundred cavalrymen, Alpha could not engage in a head-on confrontation with them.

"Let's continue to charge into the Dark Forest." Facing five hundred cavalrymen, Alpha could not engage in a head-on confrontation with them.

Alpha's guess was correct. Everyone left the town and the Knights followed them out. However, a small team stayed in the town to burn, kill and loot, under the pretext of letting the remnants of the enemy stay.

"Damn it, demons, let's fight back." Seeing that the enemy was still burning, killing and looting in the city, Alpha actually led his team to make a big circle and attack again. The soldiers in the city did not expect that the enemy would come back. Many soldiers were doing beastly things and did not even have time to put on their clothes.

The Alpha group was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In a flash, all the enemies were killed. Seeing the enemy coming, everyone had already fled.

"Chase, don't let any of them go." The officer looked at the dead bodies of the soldiers and roared angrily.

But this time many knights still chose to stay, for the unfinished atrocities of the previous knights...

Led by Alpha, the team members quickly shuttled through the streets of the town for the second time, beheading the scattered and violent soldiers one by one. Their actions were swift and decisive, leaving the enemy no chance to resist.

Despite the atrocities of the imperial soldiers, Alpha and his men's actions put the Knights in a dilemma of not being able to split their forces. Alpha knew that although they did this to protect the innocent, they also stained themselves with blood.

"Lord Alpha, if this continues, will we become like them?" Gun couldn't help but ask during the battle, his voice full of doubt and heaviness. After all, these knights had no equipment or weapons, and were actually no different from civilians.

Alpha was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "If we don't do this, who else can protect these innocent people? The laws of the empire can no longer give us justice. We can only fight for it ourselves."

As they penetrated deeper into the enemy's territory, resistance gradually became scarce. Alpha and his men were like ghosts in the night, terrifying the enemy.

"Sir, the enemy is protecting the people in the city. We can use the people in the city as a threat and force them to surrender." A non-commissioned officer stood up.

"Sir, they are all our people. How is this different from what we do to those bandits?" Another non-commissioned officer stood up to object.

"If they shelter criminals, they will be guilty of the same crime as the criminals. We can no longer treat civilians as such. What's wrong with killing them all?" Sergeant A did not regard civilians as human beings, but just tools.

"Sir," Sergeant B wanted to explain, but was rudely interrupted by his superior.

"Capture a few old people and children, hang them on the city wall, and tell them that if they don't surrender tomorrow, we will massacre the whole city." The commander had a ferocious look on his face. The enemy he was facing was extremely cunning. Before they even started fighting, the Knights had already lost more than a hundred people.

The commander's decision made some knights shudder, but no one dared to resist. They could only carry out the order silently and pray that the disaster would end as soon as possible.
