I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 451: The forward was eaten, and the Cavaliers did not move

"It's okay, let's compare strength, who is afraid of who." Farrant knew that in this fierce battle, the strength of the Knights was their biggest advantage. He firmly believed that as long as the Knights' strength was brought into play, they would be able to defeat the enemy. As for the werewolves, they were just consumables.

In the end, Commander Farant's decision was not based solely on hard power considerations. He deliberately destroyed a large number of passages, leaving only one main road. This strategy was intended to concentrate forces for defense. In this way, the enemy's offensive routes would be limited and defense would be easier.

However, Commander Farant overlooked a crucial factor: the morale of the werewolves. At this time, the werewolves were like dogs that had lost their homes, being chased by the enemy and having no way to escape.

The morale of the werewolves on the front line is low, and their desire to fight is almost gone. In such a desperate situation, the werewolves need not only defensive strategies, but also encouragement, motivation, and support to rekindle their inner fighting spirit.

Morale is crucial to an army, as it can affect the soldiers' fighting will and confidence. However, Commander Farant's negligence caused the werewolves to fall into the abyss of despair. They lost the motivation to fight and could not exert their true strength. This mistake may have a huge impact on the entire battle situation, making Farant and his army face even more severe challenges.

……

"The encirclement has been established. Now we just need to close the net. Victory is just around the corner." Alpha stared at the map. After checking it carefully three times, he was sure that there were no omissions.

At this moment, the entire area is like an airtight net, with only one entrance and exit, and a wide single-channel circle inside. Anyone who steps into it will hardly notice that they have fallen into a loop unless they walk a complete circle.

"Gecko Squad, expand outward 500 meters. Unless you encounter the main force of the enemy, there is no need to engage with them." Alpha reminded loudly.

Of course, they themselves were also in this circle, becoming bait. Once the enemy blocked the gap, they would become someone else's meal and be easily devoured.

"Lister, you are responsible for guarding the gap. Only entry is allowed and no enemy is allowed to step out of this area. Everyone else take your positions. Once the enemy enters the encirclement, kill them without mercy." Alpha gave an order and all the personnel quickly took their positions.

Lister stood at the gap, holding a weapon, and watching the surroundings vigilantly. He knew that he had an important responsibility and had to ensure that the enemy could not escape the encirclement.

The other team members also arrived at their respective positions. They hid behind the surrounding buildings and bunkers, waiting for the enemy to appear.

As time passed, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Alpha stared at the map, silently calculating the time and location where the enemy might appear.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the distance. Alpha immediately became alert and observed through the telescope that a group of figures were approaching the encirclement.

"The enemy is coming! Prepare to fight!" Alpha whispered.

The team members tensed up and held their weapons tighter.

When the enemy entered the encirclement, Alpha gave the order and all the team members attacked at the same time. For a moment, swords, guns, and flames were everywhere.

The enemies were caught off guard by the sudden attack. They tried to fight back, but were overwhelmed by the intensive attacks. In addition, due to the restricted environment, they could only flee in panic.

Lister stood firm at the gap, not allowing any enemy to escape. He skillfully used cover and kept shooting, knocking down the enemies who tried to break through one by one.

The enemies in the encirclement were in a desperate situation. They fled everywhere, but there was nowhere to escape. The team members worked closely together and did not give the enemy any chance to breathe.

After a fierce battle, the enemy was finally wiped out. Alpha looked at the corpses on the ground and felt a sense of accomplishment. This operation successfully completed the mission and they finally won the first stage.

However, Alpha knew that their battle was far from over, and the enemy's strongest main force had not yet arrived. All they had achieved was to defeat the second half of the enemy.

"Evelynn will be responsible for treating the wounded, Gecko will count the results of the battle, Mash will expand the reconnaissance range, and the rest of you will rest in place." Alpha commanded in an orderly manner.

At this time, the enemies in the rear had been basically wiped out, and the scattered enemies were no longer a threat. As for the enemies blocking them in the front, Alpha planned to split them up so that they could be defeated one by one.

……

"Commander Farrant, the werewolf troops in the front are almost wiped out. We have lost a total of 3,000 werewolves and 500 vampires. The remaining werewolves are simply unable to gather into effective combat power." The signalman quickly reported the battle situation on the front line to the command center.

"How is it possible? There are 5,000 werewolves and 1,000 vampires ahead, how could they lose so many all of a sudden? How much did the enemy lose?" Commander Farrant looked at Staff Officer Ribot in surprise, but he did not panic. With such a huge loss, the enemy must be very few left.

"The enemy's losses have not yet been counted, but I'm afraid at least half of them have been lost." This was just the front-line commander's guess, without any evidence or information to support it.

"Got it. Then we'll just sit back and wait for them to come." Farrant was in a good mood. According to the intelligence he got from the dark elves, the enemy was only about a thousand people, and now there were at most five hundred of them. They could be easily eliminated.

"Commander Farant, the enemy must have suffered heavy casualties at this moment. We should send troops immediately and annihilate them without any effort." Staff Officer Ribot thought that there might be some hidden problems, but with such heavy losses on their side, a ratio of ten to one was about the same, so they did not delve into it.

"We can't split our forces. We only have 2,000 people. If we split our forces, we won't be able to concentrate our strength to defend this area, and we'll be more likely to suffer a surprise attack by the enemy." Frant has conducted more than ten thorough surveys of this area. He knows that leaving this place means losing the home advantage and falling into a passive position.

"That's right. We can't split our troops at the moment. The enemy's situation is still unclear. Even if we set off immediately, the enemy will not sit there and wait for death. I'm afraid they have already escaped." The old general also disagreed with Ribot's proposal. In the end, the proposal to split the troops was abandoned. Everyone kept their troops in place and waited for the enemy to approach on their own.

……

"Lord Alpha, in this battle we have annihilated a total of 1,843 enemies, 62 of our people were killed, and another 227 were injured. Lady Evelyn is undergoing intensive treatment, and the final casualties are estimated to be around 80 people. It can be said to be a glorious victory!" Fanxing held the statistical table in his hand, his face filled with excitement.

"More than eighty people, heavy losses! Accompany me to the scene." Alpha said with a heavy heart.

Judging from the casualty ratio, twenty to one was indeed a great victory. However, they had no backup here, and every person lost was an irreparable loss, and every person was extremely precious.

Alpha came to the place where the wounded were placed with a heavy heart. He walked past each bed one by one, looking at each injured soldier, his eyes full of concern and pain.

Alpha stopped and gently held the hand of a seriously injured soldier, asking about his injuries and recovery. The soldier tried to smile and told Alpha that he would recover as soon as possible and return to the battlefield. Alpha nodded, encouraged him to be strong, and promised to do everything he could to take care of every wounded soldier.

Alpha continued to move forward, talking to other wounded soldiers and listening to their stories and feelings. He thanked them for their bravery and dedication, telling them that they were the pride of the entire team. Some wounded soldiers expressed their gratitude to their comrades, saying that they would not have been able to hold on until now without their mutual support.

Alpha noticed a young soldier with tears on his face. He sat down beside the bed, gently patted the soldier on the shoulder, and asked him if he needed any help or support. The soldier looked up, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes, and said that he just missed his family, but he felt it was worth it for his family to live in the sun.

Alpha was deeply moved, and he told all the wounded that their sacrifice and dedication would not be forgotten. They fought for freedom and justice, and their courage would be remembered forever.

In a tense atmosphere, Alpha finally succeeded in gathering all the wounded together. He did not hesitate to use his powerful light magic to give each injured person ten minutes of magic healing.

However, it was not that Alpha did not want to give them enough treatment, but that he was willing but unable to do so. The range of light magic and the number of people treated would affect the energy consumption. The energy consumed by treating two or three hundred people at a time was far beyond Alpha's ability to bear.

Finally, Alpha was barely able to leave the rescue station after being lifted by Fanxing and Melissa. This time, he had almost exhausted all of his fighting spirit, and his body became extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Alpha's efforts and contributions did not go unnoticed, and his actions won the gratitude and respect of everyone. Alpha's bravery and selflessness became a role model in everyone's hearts, inspiring everyone to persevere in the face of difficulties and work hard for the lives and health of others.

"Lord Alpha, your behavior is too dangerous. In this dangerous underground space, without fighting spirit, there is no possibility of survival." Evelyn looked at the haggard Alpha with a worried look on her face and said anxiously.

"My physical condition is rather special. It only takes about a day for me to recover my fighting spirit. You don't have to worry." Alpha knew very well that it would take three to five days for an average person to use up their energy and practice to recover, but the other soul in his body could practice non-stop every day, and his efficiency was four times that of an ordinary person, so it was not a big problem.

"Lord Alpha is a liar. Your talent is average, and you don't practice hard. A week of recovery is already fast." Evelyn hadn't seen Alpha practice hard during this period of time. His normal practice speed was only slightly faster than that of an ordinary person, and he was far from a genius.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not the main force and don't need so much fighting spirit. It's better to let the wounded recover as soon as possible." Alpha's light magic recovery speed is unparalleled. Even the elves' healing magic cannot compare with it. After Alpha's treatment, the recovery of the wounded has been greatly improved.

"I know, but Alpha, you can't be so careless about your body!" Evelyn looked at Alpha with heartache.

"Let's discuss the next task arrangement! Melissa, go and notify the heads of each district to come over." Facing Evelyn's concern, Alpha's heart was moved, and he really wanted to hug her immediately. However, there were many people around at the moment, so he had to forcefully change the subject.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do next?" The dwarf warrior Baruch asked respectfully. He had full faith in Alpha's abilities.

After many battles, they achieved great victory, the enemy lost at least 2,000 people, and their side suffered almost no substantial damage. This strength made Baruch full of trust in Alpha.

Alpha knew that the next challenge was the real problem. They might face powerful enemies like knights or even magic lance knights. Once they met them, they would face huge losses. Alpha felt a headache because of this.

"Lord Alpha, no one underground can match us Shadow Elves! Let me go and destroy them." Mashu's face was filled with excitement.

"We may be able to deal with a single person, but facing a group of knights and magic lancers will be a bottomless pit. We can't risk fighting head-on." Alpha must eliminate their arrogance.

"Look, this is the magic gun. You may be able to dodge one bullet, but what about ten or a hundred?" Alpha pointed at the distant wall and the bullet shot directly into three-quarters of it.

"Dal, can you make a batch of combined shields and let each frontline personnel hold one, so that they can form a large shield when necessary." Alpha began to prepare.

"No problem, Lord Alpha, it will be delivered on time tomorrow." Gurushdal patted his chest and promised.

"Mashu, Gecko, your mission is still reconnaissance. I intend to continue according to the first plan." Alpha's plan changed again and again. He was not sure whether the enemy would divide their forces to defend or concentrate their forces to hold on.

At the strategic level, Alpha had decided to adopt the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the territory and attacking them by dividing the troops to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy's main force. However, Alpha still had no idea about tactical choices.

If the enemy adopts a strategy of defending the area, Alpha will face a huge challenge. They may not be able to find an effective way to break through, and can only act according to circumstances and move forward step by step.

"You go back first! Make sure to take good care of the wounded." Alpha knew that continuing to discuss with them would not yield any further results, so he decided to study the map alone and look for possible tactical solutions.
