I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 175: Accidentally Entering Ancient Ross

"It's bad, sir. The city gate has been lost." The blood flowed like a river, the situation was set, and the tragic scene was self-evident.

"Kill." Rowling gave a decisive order and led his troops into the city.

"Close the door and beat the dog. Don't let any of them go. You only have 800 cavalrymen and you still want to capture my Fils. You are overestimating your ability." There are still 500 knights and 3,000 infantrymen in Fils, and 1,000 knights outside the city. Rest did not panic.

However, the vanguard led by Reiss had been slain by the enemy's heavy cavalry, who were blocking the road that Gruss had to pass through, so Gruss dared not enter through the main gate and had to take a detour.

Just when Grus was about to approach the city gate, another group of cavalry rushed in. This group of cavalry was like a long black snake, blending into Grus's cavalry, fighting together, unable to separate.

"My lord, it's bad. Grus's troops were entangled by the sudden appearance of cavalry at the north gate and could not enter the city. The enemy's heavily armored cavalry also charged into the city."

"Grus cannot open the city gates until the outcome of the battle with the enemy is decided." Rest was shocked. Even if other city gates were lost, the city gate would not be easily breached.

Unfortunately, these cavalrymen are no longer the invincible wolf pack of the past. Now they are just a facade, weak inside, and collapsed instantly under the crazy attacks of Tasli and Gus.

"My lord, the north gate has been breached, the enemy has entered the city, my lord, hurry up and leave!" Just as he finished speaking, another soldier came to report: "It's a spy, Lord Rest, the Jiuyuan Mercenary Group is the enemy's spies, they opened the city gate to let the enemy in."

"Ah! You deserve to die." Rest roared, regretting his decision. The adjutant beside him hurriedly advised: "Sir, as long as the green mountains are there, there will be no shortage of firewood. Our most important goal now is to leave, and leave here alive."

Just as Rest was about to leave, news suddenly came from the city: the city lord was either killed in battle or fled. The resisting soldiers were thrown into chaos, and most of them chose to surrender. The few who resisted stubbornly were killed by Rowling's troops.

Seeing that Phils, who he had worked so hard to build, was instantly destroyed, Rest could not help but feel grief-stricken. He fainted on the ground without being able to catch his breath. In the end, he was thrown aside by his men and disappeared.

Grus fled with a small number of cavalry. This guy was very good at escaping and actually escaped from Rowling's pursuit.

At this point, the southern border of the Kingdom of Potos had all fallen and was occupied by Alpha. They successfully opened up trade with the Menis Iron Mine District and the Titanium Mine City, restored a safe passage from the Fatalia Empire to the Church, and greatly promoted continental trade.

This can only happen in the Kingdom of Potos. No other country will allow such behavior to exist. If the king of the Kingdom of Potos is powerless, anyone can just conquer it, recognize the kingdom's rule, and pay some taxes.

……

Alpha (Apollo) decided to go directly to Cross, the city of desire. Alpha thought that the situation in Prague, the capital of Fatalia, was chaotic and if he got involved, it would be difficult to get out of it. Therefore, it would be better to go directly to Cross to fight for the family property, confuse the public, and fish in troubled waters.

As the situation was unclear and unpredictable, Alpha only took Liv, Monkey, Darwin and thirty Silver Wing Knights with him. Alpha always felt that this trip to Cross was not simple, and the Church might not simply declare sovereignty, but had other purposes.

If it weren't for Liv's property, Apollo wouldn't have taken her to the dangerous place. As for Meiyi, Apollo never regarded her as his woman, and Meiyi was just attached to the strong. This new action is probably not just a head-on conflict, but more of a struggle under the darkness.

Alpha had an extremely comfortable trip during this trip. Liv was very obedient to him, and Meiyi was even more flattering. The two of them took turns serving Alpha, making him very happy.

On the fifth day of the team's progress, Gunn arrived with five black-armored knights. They were now wearing silver-winged knight suits, which reduced weight and defense and increased speed and endurance.

After the two sides joined forces, Apollo's strength was further enhanced. After all, half of the thirty people he brought were newly recruited Fatalia citizens, and their combat effectiveness could not be guaranteed.

"Liv, what road is this? Did we take the wrong road?" Apollo rode on his warhorse, holding Liv in his arms, complaining as he hurried on.

"Lord Alpha, I have never been on this road. The route I have always taken is from Prague to Cross. This time I am going directly to Cross, which I am not familiar with." Liv snuggled in Apollo's arms, enjoying the warmth and sweetness.

"We haven't seen a house for three days. I'm afraid we've taken the wrong path." It was already the third day after meeting Gunn. There was no one living within a hundred miles. Alpha was not afraid, but was just wasting time by getting lost.

Alpha and his companions continued to move forward. The road became more and more desolate, and mountains and rocks began to appear around them. They had been walking for several days. Apart from the sound of horses' hooves and various sounds from nature, there were no human or animal sounds. Just as they began to feel a little worried, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Who are you and where are you going?"

Alpha and the others immediately became alert. They didn't see anyone, but the sound came from the cliff in front of them. They walked forward carefully and found an old man in a black robe sitting on the edge of the cliff, waving at them.

"Where are you from?" the old man asked.

Alpha replied, "We are travelers from the frontier city of Rimuru in the Empire, heading to the City of Cross's Desire, where we have a mission that we must complete. May I ask where this road leads?"

The old man smiled and said, "This road leads to the City of Cross's Desire, but it is a very dangerous road. You need to pass through many mountain roads and canyons, and there are many monsters and criminals waiting for you there."

"How should we get through here safely?" Liv asked.

After thinking for a moment, the old man replied: "If you are willing to follow me, I will take you to a safe place. There, you can rest and recover your strength before continuing on your journey."

Alpha and the others exchanged glances and finally decided to follow the old man to the safe place he mentioned. Under the old man's guidance, they passed through a series of dangerous mountain roads and canyons and finally arrived at a cave.

"Where is this?" Apollo asked.

The old man smiled and said, "This is my home. I will use this place as our temporary base. Let us rest and recover our strength."

The next day, Alpha and his teammates followed the mysterious old man through dangerous mountain roads and canyons, which was full of thrills and challenges. They finally came to a magnificent city, and the scene in front of them shocked them. However, Alpha also felt a strong sense of danger.

Meiyi looked at the scene in front of her in surprise and couldn't help but blurt out: "Is this the City of Cross's Desire?" Liv looked at Alpha with doubts and held his arms tightly with both hands. Alpha hugged Liv to comfort her.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, this is Cross's City of Desire."

Alpha looked around and found that the city gate was bustling with people. They had different faces and clothes, some were rich people in gorgeous clothes, some were ragged beggars, some were surrounded by people, and some were alone.

The architectural styles in the city are very diverse. There are towering spires, simple and elegant wooden buildings, palaces glittering with gold and silver, and houses with gray tiles and white walls.

Just as Alpha and his teammates were enjoying the beautiful scenery of the city, a burst of noise interrupted their conversation. The noise was getting closer and closer, and Alpha looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a group of people surrounding a gorgeous carriage coming towards them.

There was a gorgeously dressed man sitting in the carriage, and next to him was a hot beauty. Alpha and the others were surprised to find that the man's appearance and temperament were quite similar to their own.

"Who is he? Why is he worshipped so much by everyone?" Liv asked in surprise.

The old man introduced with a smile: "This is the Lord of Cross City of Desire, Arias. He is a great city lord, and it is he who led our ancient Ross City to prosperity."

Several guides led Alpha and his party to the lord. Seeing Arias's carriage slowly approaching, the surrounding people and elders bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, worshipping like pilgrims, which undoubtedly made Alpha and his men standing still look strange.

"Lord Alias, these people are travelers on the road. They heard about the greatness of our ancient city of Ross and came to visit. Please take them in." The old man responded to Alpha's question.

Hearing the old man's words, Alpha's heart sank, remembering that their original destination was Cross, the City of Desire, but they had unexpectedly ended up in the ancient city of Ross by mistake. If his men had not confirmed that the two places were not far apart, Alpha would have thought that he had mistakenly entered a different time and space and walked into the wrong set.

"Okay, let them go to the Holy See to be baptized and gain divine power." The beautiful woman next to the lord shouted, but there was a mismatch between her figure and her words. If she put on some clothes, perhaps she could be described as "dignified".

Before he finished speaking, Alpha and his party were forcibly taken to the Holy See to be baptized. They were taken to a solemn and sacred ceremony site, surrounded by solemn hymns and dazzling lights, which revealed a mysterious power that made Alpha feel a little uneasy.

The priest led everyone to follow the process of the ceremony and introduced the sacred mission and teachings of the Holy See, the history and legends of the ancient city of Ross. However, Alpha was not interested in listening to these and was only prepared for any special circumstances during the ceremony.
