I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 452: Taking the initiative to provoke, how can we avoid war?

Alpha carefully studied the map, thinking about the enemy's possible deployment and routes of action. He realized that in order to break through the enemy's defenses, more detailed intelligence and a deep understanding of the terrain were needed.

Alpha decided to send a reconnaissance team deep into the enemy area to collect information about the enemy's strength, fortifications and important strongholds. At the same time, he also considered taking advantage of the terrain to find a way to bypass the enemy's rear and attack the enemy unexpectedly.

In addition, Alpha is also thinking about how to effectively use the strategy of splitting troops. He plans to divide the troops into multiple groups to perform different tasks, such as feint attack, encirclement, sniping, etc., to distract the enemy and create chaos.

In the process of formulating tactics, Alpha also needs to take into account the equipment and resources of the troops. He must ensure that each group has enough weapons and supplies to support long-term operations.

Alpha understands that the success of tactics depends not only on the thoroughness of the plan, but also on the execution and adaptability of the troops. He will strengthen the training of soldiers to improve their combat quality and teamwork ability.

"Lord Alpha, the situation is not good. Our reconnaissance results show that the enemy has blocked all surrounding passages, leaving only this main road." Gecko brought back worrying news.

They conducted reconnaissance in advance, but the conclusion they reached was disappointing - the enemy not only blocked all the forks and gaps, but also made it clear that they wanted to confront Alpha Team head-on.

"Are they going to adopt the strategy of clearing the countryside and directly challenge us?" Alpha realized that his original plan was no longer feasible because almost all the passages were blocked by the enemy, and the idea of ​​​​circumventing the enemy's rear was basically futile.

"Gecko, continue to study the map carefully and check every possible passage. At the same time, let Mashu strengthen reconnaissance of the enemy camp and closely monitor the enemy's every move, especially their war supplies." Alpha understood that the enemy would not take the initiative to attack now, but it is better to be safe than sorry, and the work of finding other exits should not be relaxed.

"Yes, Lord Alpha!" Gecko took the order and quickly got down to the new task.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do next?" Evelyn asked with a worried look on her face. You know, Alpha's carefully planned flanking strategy has failed, and they must quickly come up with other countermeasures.

"Just adapt to the circumstances and act according to circumstances." Alpha couldn't think of a better solution for the moment.

"Then you go to the front line first." Alpha planned to check the enemy's situation first and then make further analysis.

"Lord Alpha, can you let us go with you?" Evelyn was very worried about Alpha's safety.

"No need, you stay and take care of the wounded. Melissa, Maven, and Juvenile, just come with me." Alpha knew very well that these three were the three elf assassins, who were known for their speed and soul power. This trip was mainly for reconnaissance, and did not require too many frontal combatants.

"There are shadow elves like Gecko and Mashu ahead. We are not going to have a head-on confrontation with the enemy this time. There will be no danger, so don't worry." Alpha comforted everyone.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy camp is ahead. They have built a solid wall. Our detection methods are completely unable to detect the situation inside the enemy." Gecko also hurried to the front line from the rear. However, facing the two-meter-high wall, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

"It would be great if there was enough water here. We could just use the water to break down their defenses." Mashu stared at the city wall in front of her, knowing that it would not be difficult to kill a few enemies silently, but leading everyone to break out safely would be extremely difficult.

"Lord Alpha, I have a way to cross this wall." Suddenly, Gecko spoke.

"What do you mean? Gecko." Alpha looked confused.

"Lord Alpha, do you know why I am called Gecko?" Everyone was at a loss as to the answer to Gecko's question.

"Because I have special stealth abilities, and can crawl freely on steep walls like a gecko. Moreover, now that I have the blessing of a divine weapon, I can walk on all kinds of walls as if they were flat ground." The gecko pointed to the mysterious magic equipment behind him, which seemed to be a set of biological armor imitating a spider.

"Lord Alpha, this set of equipment can give me all kinds of spider abilities. I will go over and investigate the situation now." Before the gecko finished speaking, he climbed on the wall like lightning, demonstrating his current extraordinary abilities.

"Be careful and stay safe." Alpha reminded softly.

"If water attack doesn't work, is it possible to use fire attack?" Mashu suggested again.

"The space for fire attack is too large and cannot be completely closed. Otherwise, we can use gunpowder powder for explosive attacks." Alpha frowned, staring at the huge cave in front of him that was more than 100 meters wide and more than ten meters high, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Are there any coal briquettes around?" Alpha suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly. He knew very well that in the underground space, all kinds of resources were available.

"It's the black, burning stuff." In order to avoid misunderstanding, Alpha explained. He prayed in his heart that he could find coal briquettes around, so that he could find a solution to the problem.

"Lord Alpha, the coal you mentioned has abundant reserves in our underground. Usually, we just use it as fuel for cooking, but there are no relevant markings here. We have completed the marking work within three kilometers of our city, and the coal resources are simply inexhaustible." Mash already knew what Alpha was talking about, so she immediately explained it with great interest.

"Very good, I need a lot of coal." Alpha knew that there must be coal resources underground, but he didn't know the exact location.

Hearing this, the teammates began to search around. Alpha also joined the search, searching every corner carefully.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, a teammate shouted excitedly: "Found it! There is a lot of coal here!" Alpha was delighted and ran over quickly.

Staring at the coal balls in his hand, Alpha began to formulate a plan in his mind. He planned to use the high temperature and smoke produced by the burning coal balls to cause interference and damage to the enemy.

So Alpha and his teammates placed the mined coal in various key locations in the cave, with both sides of one area arranged, and huge stones hanging overhead. Alpha carefully planned to give the enemy a "charcoal grilled teppanyaki" feast.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do next?" Evelyn and the others were gradually approaching, and were only two or three kilometers away from the enemy's wall. However, the underground space was dark and narrow, and it was difficult to clearly identify the enemy even if they were only a hundred meters away.

"Evelyn, let's all go and provoke the enemy. Mash, you have to pay attention to the enemies around you and never let them take advantage. Gecko, you have to act according to the situation and it's best to burn their food and supplies." The food that Alpha brought can only last for a week and is about to run out. The situation is urgent and a quick victory must be achieved, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Okay, Lord Alpha." Everyone took their positions, performed their duties, and dispersed to take action.

"You cowards, if you have the guts, come out and fight us!" Alpha instigated Maven to walk to the front of the formation, and Maven shouted at the top of his voice.

"Who are you coming? How dare you be so arrogant? Why don't you tell me your name?" An angry shout came from the city wall.

"Grandpa, I will not change my name or surname, Mei Wen. If you have the guts, hurry out of the city and fight!" Mei Wen responded again without showing any weakness.

"You bold lunatic, how dare you say such arrogant words? Wait for me to get my sword and cut you into pieces!" The knight was enraged by Maven's challenge. He quickly put on his equipment and was only one weapon away from going into battle.

"Sir Centurion, we absolutely cannot do this! The Chief of Staff has ordered that we cannot go out of the city to fight, otherwise he will punish us severely!" Seeing this, several guards hurried forward to stop them.

"They are so arrogant and bullying that they are simply going too far. If I don't teach them a lesson, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart! Today I must go out of the city to fight them to the death!" The centurion didn't listen to the advice at all. He picked up the sword, looking eager to try, and was about to go up to fight Mei Wen.

At this critical moment, Commander Farrant, Staff Officer Ribot, and the General came out of the command room. Seeing this, the Centurion dared not act rashly and had to stay quiet.

"What do you think their intentions are? Why did they show up and provoke us?" Commander Farrant stared at the dozen or so people in the distance with a look of surprise on his face. After all, just a few people were not enough for them to fill their teeth.

"I think they are deliberately provoking us, and their purpose may be to lure us out of the city to fight. They may have set up an ambush outside the city. We should keep our troops in place and wait for the opportunity to counter attack. Our food is enough to last for a month, but their supplies may have run out, and they are the ones who are anxious." Ribot explained expressionlessly.

According to the agreement they reached with the Dark Elves, the Dark Elves would provide all the information about Alpha, including maps, number of people, weapons and equipment, supplies, etc., and they needed to withdraw from the Dark Elves' area and not get close in order to eliminate the threat to the underground world.

For the Pirate Alliance, this is a sure win deal. The agreement is worthless, and after destroying these enemies, it won't be too late to go back and deal with the dark elves.

However, their primary target at the moment is the humans who are about to set foot on the ground. They are powerful opponents of the Pirate Alliance in conquering the continent.

"They only have a few hundred people in total, and most of them have been lost. What do we have to be afraid of? Depleting them with food is not the style of our Poseidon Alliance. We must rush out and kill them all." The centurion was obviously still angry and insisted on going out of the city to fight in person.

"The enemy's situation is still unclear, we can't act rashly." Ribot's reminder did not attract any attention. After all, they were currently in an absolute advantage.

After listening to the explanation of Staff Officer Ribot, Commander Farrant decisively ordered: "Albert, lead 100 people out of the city and destroy them!" His tone was firm and unquestionable. At this time, Ribot could no longer make any suggestions and could only obey orders. Albert had already led his men out of the city wall.

At the same time, Evelyn quickly passed the key information to Alpha: "Sir, they have left the city, about a hundred people." Although Alpha had witnessed it with his own eyes, Evelyn's timely notification was still crucial.

Alpha knew his importance and would never take risks lightly. So he asked Maven, "Maven, ask them whether they choose to fight alone or in a group?"

Alpha was determined not to personally join the melee, because if he was killed in the chaos, it would be an unbearable loss.

Mei Wen is nearly a hundred years old and is used to treating himself as an elder. He responded bluntly: "My dear grandson, are you planning to fight alone or in a group?"

Albert was not afraid at all. He rushed towards Meiwen alone and shouted angrily, "Don't be so arrogant, you little brat. I can beat you by myself!"

"Okay, let me see how strong my good grandson is!" Mei Wen responded confidently.

These elves all have unique abilities, and swordsmanship is their foundation. Maven's swordsmanship is superb, and even Alpha may not be able to beat him in swordsmanship.

In an instant, the two men crossed each other like lightning and fought fiercely.

Their speed was so fast that it was hard to keep up with them. Every swing of the sword was full of power and skill, as if they were performing a gorgeous sword dance.

The surrounding air also seemed to be stirred by their sword power, forming a powerful aura.

The spectators watched this fierce match nervously, silently cheering for the side they supported in their hearts.

The outcome of this fierce battle, although it can show the bravery of an individual, can hardly change the overall direction of the battle. This is a duel about personal glory, and also a contest of strength and speed.

The elf Maven's swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and his nimble steps made it impossible for Abbot to keep up with his rhythm. Each of Maven's attacks was like a storm, leaving Abbot overwhelmed. However, as a fully armed knight, Abbot was not seriously injured even after being hit by several swords. His heavy armor provided him with solid protection, so that Maven's attacks could not cause him fatal damage.

Abbott's swordsmanship was powerful and majestic. Every time he swung his sword, there was a whistling sound, showing his great strength. However, his speed was far inferior to Maven. Maven's ghostly figure shuttled around him, causing his attacks to miss repeatedly. However, Abbott was not discouraged. He knew that as long as he had one chance, he could seriously injure Maven.

The battle has entered a white-hot stage, and both sides are trying their best to find the other's flaws. Maven's speed is like a gust of wind and rain, giving him the upper hand on the battlefield; while Abbott's strength is like a mountain crushing an egg, which is equally terrifying. In this thrilling battle, every moment is full of variables. Whoever can accurately seize the fleeting opportunity may become the final winner.

"I've found your weak spot, Iron-shell guy!"
