I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 446 Evacuation Operation, Werewolf Attack

The next morning, the gloomy light shone through the darkness underground and shone on everyone. They carried heavy bags and silently embarked on the journey. There was no grand farewell ceremony, only the uneasiness of the unknown and the confusion of the future in their hearts.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy, as if shrouded by an invisible haze. Everyone was silent, as if they had already sensed that this journey would be full of endless dangers.

Alpha looked at the light above his head, not sure whether it was the sun or the moon. It was said that it was also a product of the magic technology of the goblins, but the goblins present did not know who created it.

"Forward." Alpha's voice rang out in the silence, with firmness and determination. His eyes passed over the crowd and looked into the distance, which was their goal and the direction of hope.

The long team began to move slowly, and everyone's footsteps seemed a little heavy, as if they were carrying the weight of the whole world. They knew that the road ahead was full of thorns and filled with countless difficulties and obstacles, but they had no choice but to move forward courageously.

In this team, they are young adventurers, they are experienced veterans, and they are new humans with dreams. They come from different backgrounds and have different stories, but at this moment, their destinies are closely intertwined. They support each other and face the challenges ahead together.

The wind whistled past their ears, as if telling of the majesty and inviolability of nature. But they did not retreat, and moved towards their goal step by step. Their faith was like a burning flame, illuminating the way forward and dispelling the fear and despair in their hearts.

"Where is this wind coming from?" Alpha was filled with surprise. You know, they were a thousand meters underground at this time, and such a strong wind was rare. This strong wind seemed to be an ominous sign, indicating that something bad was about to happen.

Seeing Alpha's puzzled expression, the goblin Perov explained, "Lord Alpha, this is underground crosswind, a phenomenon unique to the underground world. It is usually caused by underground collapse and compression deformation caused by crustal movement."

After all, the goblins have been studying these underground sciences for a long time and are already well aware of this common phenomenon. Unlike Alpha, the other underground people are not as surprised.

"I am short-sighted." Alpha realized that his nervousness might affect everyone, and he tried to calm himself down.

The road in the underground space was bumpy and uneven, and there were no horses for them to drive, so the team could only move forward slowly. With more people, the speed naturally slowed down.

"Fanxing, Evelyn, you find the problematic areas according to the map and mark them out. I plan to build a highway in the future. If environmental conditions permit, you can also consider building an underground railway." Alpha realized that there were huge treasures hidden in the underground world.

Not to mention the mysterious ruins, the races of dwarves, gnomes and dark elves alone have great potential. The number of dwarves has reached 30,000, gnomes have 200,000, and dark elves have 100,000, and these are only some of the races in this area.

If the underground railway can be successfully built, it will be a huge boost to Alpha's strength, both in manufacturing and military.

Of course, before that, Alpha first needs to improve its own strength. Otherwise, with Herman's temper, once the railway is successfully built, he will see that Alpha's strength is weak and will probably immediately choose to ally with other more powerful forces.

Under the current situation, Herman is likely to choose to ally with the Ottoman Empire. However, this is premised on the Ottoman Empire's willingness to cooperate with him. Considering the Ottoman Empire's attitude towards the dark elves, I am afraid that they have similar views to Herman on Alpha.

As for the Pirates Alliance, it is too far away. Unless Herman is crazy, he will not consider it, unless the other party offers special conditions for Herman to accept.

In fact, Alpha's relatively weak strength is the crux of the matter. Alpha may lack sufficient strength to deal with various challenges and threats, which puts him at a disadvantage in the competition with other forces. This gap in strength may lead to instability in his political, economic or military aspects.

For example, in the political arena, Alpha may not be able to effectively defend his interests or influence the decision-making process. He may lack a voice in international affairs and be unable to protect the rights and interests of his country or ethnic group. In the economic field, Alpha's weak power may make it difficult for him to compete with other powerful entities, limiting his development and prosperity.

In addition, in terms of military, Alpha may face security threats and insufficient defense capabilities. He may not have sufficient military strength to defend his territory and people, and may easily become a target of external aggression or attack.

However, strength is not absolute, it can be changed and improved in many ways. Alpha can enhance his strength by working hard to develop the economy, strengthen military power, and improve technology. In addition, he can also make up for his shortcomings and expand his influence and resources through diplomacy, alliances, and cooperation.

Overall, Alpha's weakness is a problem that needs attention, but he is not without the opportunity to change this situation.

"Where do you think our exit to land will be?" Alpha stared at the map. However, as the altitude increased, the map became more and more blurry, and the last hundred meters from the ground was a dark area. Alpha could not determine the exact location of the landing point.

"Lord Alpha, I think that might be the mountainous area of ​​Central Macedonia." Evelyn speculated, carefully comparing the maps on the ground and underground.

"That's a good result." Alpha certainly hoped that the exit could be closer to his own territory, preferably in Western Macedonia, but the distance of several hundred kilometers was almost impossible.

Alpha knew that everything was full of uncertainty in this unknown territory. Although the mountainous area of ​​Central Macedonia was not the most ideal choice, at least they had a general direction. What challenges and difficulties they would face still required further exploration and observation.

Alpha scanned the map, thinking about possible routes and plans. The terrain in the mountains was complex, and there might be various dangers and obstacles hidden. They needed to be fully prepared to deal with possible situations. Evelyn was also thinking on the side, she had a deeper understanding of the terrain and environment.

“There may be steep peaks and complex valleys in the mountains. We need to proceed carefully,” Evelyn reminded.

Alpha nodded in agreement. He guessed that it should be in Central Macedonia or East Macedonia. He understood that in such an environment, team cooperation and tacit understanding would be crucial. Everyone needs to play to their strengths and support and help each other.

They continued to study the map, trying to find more clues and information. Alpha was thinking about how to use the characteristics of the terrain to choose the most suitable route. Evelyn was paying attention to possible water and food resources to ensure the survival needs of the team.

Although there are many unknowns ahead, Alpha and Evelyn firmly believe that as long as they stay calm and move forward bravely, they will be able to find the exit to the land and reach their destination smoothly.

"Lord Alpha, Gecko sent a message saying that they encountered three waves of werewolves ahead, with about ten in each wave, and asked if we need to change the route." After a day of arduous trek, the team had rested three times, and at this time, Alpha finally received the news from the front.

Alpha's expression was solemn. He knew very well that he couldn't easily change the route in this situation. He turned to Evelyn and said, "Evelyn, mark the enemy's position on the map."

Evelyn acted quickly and accurately marked the location and number of the enemies on the map. After some analysis, she came to the conclusion: "Lord Alpha, judging from the current situation, these enemies seem to be scattered."

Alpha thought carefully about what Evelyn said. His reconnaissance team was also sent out in groups of ten. The number of enemies that appeared in different locations and areas was about ten, which made him wonder: "Are the actions of these enemies similar to those of our reconnaissance team?" This discovery made Alpha's heart tighten. He realized that there might be a potential threat approaching.

In this dangerous world, every decision may affect the life and death of the entire team. Alpha must weigh the pros and cons and make the most wise choice. He decided to move forward more cautiously and pay close attention to the movements around him to ensure the safety of the team. After all, when facing unknown enemies, vigilance is the key to survival.

"Keep the speed and keep moving forward." Finally, Alpha let the team rest and then continued to move forward. There was no need to activate the alternative route now.

……

"Lord Alpha, we are currently under attack from seven waves of enemies. The vanguard troops have encountered twenty-third waves of enemies. This is a map of the enemy's location and number distribution." Evelyn handed the map to Alpha.

Alpha took the map and looked at it carefully, frowning. The enemies in the area ahead were extremely dense. Gecko and Mashu's vanguard troops were three hours away from them and were still outside the enemy.

"Study the options for this area." Alpha said helplessly. They had already given up two plans because they could no longer go back to the area they had passed.

"This is the third plan, Lord Alpha." Evelyn took out a map from her backpack.

"This plan will involve a large rift valley. A small unit can pass through it, but it will be very dangerous for a large number of people to pass through it." Alpha looked worried.

"Mei Wen asked everyone to rest for an hour and wait for orders." Why did he choose this one among the six options? The other five alternatives all had their own difficulties.

At this moment, Maven was sent to inform everyone to take a break for an hour. Here, the elves acted as liaisons for Alpha. After all, their speed was comparable to that of the dark elves, but Alpha did not completely trust the dark elves.

"Lord Alpha, something terrible has happened! Captain Gecko sent an urgent report that a large-scale werewolf army was discovered ahead, with more than a thousand people. They are approaching in our direction." Melissa rushed over and reported the latest intelligence to Alpha.

Alpha's heart tightened, but he knew that he couldn't panic at this moment and had to respond calmly. He made a prompt decision: "Start the third plan! Immediately distribute the route map to the heads of each department, and set off on time in ten minutes!"

Melissa and Maven followed the order and went their separate ways. Melissa quickly notified the team leader, while Maven contacted the Dark Elves outside.

Time was running out and ten minutes passed in a flash. Although everyone was confused about the sudden change of route, they still chose to obey the command for safety reasons.

However, just as the team set off, they heard fierce fighting ahead. The dwarf warriors and werewolves in the back were engaged in a fierce battle, and they seemed to be trying to stop the team from changing its route.

Alpha frowned, realizing that the enemy behind him was not an accidental encounter, but a premeditated one. "Evelyn, come with me to check the number of enemies." He decided to find out the situation himself.

Alpha and Evelyn went to the battlefield together, and the scene before them made them feel depressed. The number of enemies far exceeded their expectations, and the battle was extremely fierce. The dwarf warriors fought bravely, but the powerful force of the werewolves gradually put them in trouble.

Alpha's eyes were sharp as he analyzed the situation quickly. He had to come up with a plan to deal with it, otherwise the entire team would be in great danger.

"We can't be held back by the enemy. We must break through the siege as soon as possible!" Alpha gave the order decisively. He turned to Lister and Maven and said, "Lister, you lead the wild boar warriors to block the enemy's attack. Maven, you lead a hundred dwarf warriors to break through from the left and attract the enemy's attention. I will lead the others to intercept the enemy's attack from the right!"

Meiwen followed the order and led a team of warriors to charge to the left. They bravely moved forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the werewolves, successfully attracting the attention of some enemies.

Alpha led fifty dwarf warriors, his own knight guards and ten of Lister's heavy armored knights, a total of eighty people, and quickly approached from another direction according to the instructions on the map.

"Lord Alpha, there are still enemies here. If we rush in now, we might be caught in the middle of the enemy." Evelyn saw through the faint light that the enemy's team had no end in sight. They had already circled at least three hundred meters and currently estimated that the enemy was around one thousand.

Encountering such a large number of enemies lurking in the rear was probably not an accidental encounter. The enemy must be following behind, preparing to attack from the front and back with the enemy in front. Alpha thought he had been very careful, but the enemy still approached him.

"There is no time to hesitate. We will rush into the enemy camp soon. I will block the enemies in front. Melissa, you take fifty people and cooperate with Lister in the back to eliminate the enemies in the middle." Alpha knew that there could be no hesitation at this moment.

"Yes, Lord Alpha, I will complete the task!" Melissa's voice revealed firm determination.
