I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 378 Escape from the Encirclement

"Retreat, head north immediately!" Alpha's voice was firm and urgent, resounding over the battlefield like a huge bell, with unquestionable majesty. In an instant, everyone took action quickly, like well-trained soldiers hearing the assembly call, gathering quickly from all directions like arrows, and then marching bravely towards the north with firm and powerful steps.

Alpha knew that he had successfully bought more than two days of precious time for Fayana. At this moment, Fayana was basically out of danger. Unless the enemy attacked the Irus area in the north at all costs, they no longer had to worry about the enemy's threat.

Even if the enemy really entered the Irus area, Alpha believed that his navy had arrived. By then, the situation on the battlefield would change dramatically, and who would become the hunter and who would become the prey, everything was still full of variables. However, Alpha did not know that the fleet he had high hopes for had suffered a heavy blow and might not be able to play the navy's due advantages as expected.

"Chase them, we can't let them escape!" The enemy commander's eyes were red, as if hatred had blinded his mind. He ignored all costs and resolutely launched a charge. His voice was sharp and crazy, as if he had made up his mind to die and must catch Alpha and his men.

"Lord Alpha, our war horses are exhausted to the limit and can't run any faster. If we continue like this, the horses will be exhausted to death." Monkey's face was full of anxiety, his clothes soaked with sweat. He quickly approached Alpha, his voice full of worry and helplessness.

Everyone had been taking good care of their horses, and they had taken turns to rest, largely to allow the horses to continue fighting. But the enemy's reckless pursuit made it impossible for them to stop and give the horses a chance to catch their breath.

"The enemy's horses have also reached their limit, we must hold on. Tony, Alice, come with me to cover the rear! Monkey, Hois, you follow Darwin and continue to move forward. Darwin, cast auxiliary magic on them to ensure that the horses cannot fall!" Alpha's eyes were sharp and he gave the order without hesitation. In this tense moment, every decision was related to life and death, and he had to make reasonable arrangements to lead everyone out of the siege.

Everyone acted quickly, and everyone performed their duties. Tony and Ellie did not hesitate to stay with Alpha. They held weapons in their hands, their eyes were firm, and they took on the responsibility of covering the rear. Their figures looked particularly resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun, like an insurmountable barrier, guarding the rear of the team with their courage and determination.

Monkey and Hois followed Darwin closely, not daring to slack off. Darwin muttered something, quickly formed seals with his hands, and cast a magical auxiliary magic. Soft rays of light enveloped the exhausted horses, injecting new strength into them, allowing them to continue moving forward.

At the same time, Alpha took a deep breath and used his full strength to perform the Light Salute. His hands shone with dazzling light, which was like a warm current that slowly flowed into the bodies of Tony and his men's horses, injecting them with restorative power and bringing them new life. At this critical moment, every person and every horse must persevere, otherwise the situation will become unpredictable and they will fall into an abyss of no return.

Thanks to Alpha's light magic, the horses gradually recovered some of their vitality. They raised their heads slightly, their eyes rekindled their fighting spirit, and slowly dispersed to both sides, ready to meet the enemy's pursuit. At the same time, the magic guns made a deafening sound of shooting, and flames sprayed out from the muzzles, ruthlessly harvesting the enemy's lives.

Although the commander had issued a death order, the knights were still full of hesitation. The long pursuit had brought their physical and mental strength to the brink of collapse, and their horses were exhausted. Even if the horses continued to move forward, their speed was getting slower and slower, and every step seemed extremely difficult.

The road ahead is full of endless unknowns, and darkness seems to be about to swallow everything. But their faith is as solid as a rock, like a towering mountain, standing firm. They will work hand in hand to face the enemy's pursuit together, and for the sake of survival and freedom, they will move forward bravely and never retreat.

"Charge! Catch them!" The commander yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice hoarse from excessive anger and exhaustion. Faced with the team's slowdown, he completely lost his mind, drew the sword from his waist without hesitation, and killed several approaching knights. Blood splattered everywhere, spreading on the ground, the scene was shocking. Seeing this, the other knights were instantly shrouded in fear. In order to survive, they desperately urged the horses under them. The horses neighed, raised clouds of dust, and ran forward.

"Lord Alpha, they are crazy. They are still speeding up at this time. Aren't they afraid that the horses will fall down due to exhaustion?" Tony shouted while holding the reins tightly. His face was full of sweat and fatigue, but his eyes revealed a trace of worry. Their horses were good horses that were selected from hundreds of thousands. At this moment, they were already panting and foaming at the mouth. What's more, the enemy's horses had been running wildly all the way. Now they were bleeding with every breath and looked shaky.

"Retreat, don't worry about them." Alpha said calmly, his voice low and firm. His eyes were fixed on the front, as if he was thinking about something. The enemy had gone crazy, but he couldn't. He couldn't lose his mind like the enemy. At this critical moment, every decision must be made carefully, otherwise there would be a heavy price to pay.

At this moment, a gust of wind whistled past, blowing up yellow sand all over the sky. The enemy's shouts were faintly heard in the wind, as if the devils in hell were howling. Alpha held the reins tightly, his eyes firm and calm. He knew that this was a life-and-death battle, he could not retreat, he could only move forward bravely.

Tony looked at Alpha, and a feeling of admiration welled up in his heart. He understood that Alpha's decision was correct. At this time, keeping calm was the key to survival. On the battlefield, the sounds of killing, horse hooves, and shouts intertwined to form a terrifying symphony. Alpha led his team, cleverly avoiding the enemy's charge and retreating to a safe place. Their figures were looming in the yellow sand, as if a group of ghosts were shuttling across the battlefield.

However, the enemy did not give up the pursuit. They waved their weapons frantically, trying to prevent Alpha and others from escaping. However, Alpha and his team showed tenacious fighting spirit and excellent fighting skills, and repelled the enemy's attacks again and again.

During the fierce escape, the crazy enemies chased them like hungry wolves, gradually approaching the tail of the team. This desperate situation made everyone's heart shrouded in a thick haze.

"Tony, lead everyone away, I'll stop them." Alpha said with a firm look. He knew very well that only if he and his guards had superb close combat skills could they fight for a chance of survival for the team.

"Brother-in-law, let me stay. There is hope only if you are alive." Tony has matured a lot and learned to think rationally. He knows the importance of Alpha in the team. If Alpha fails, the whole team will be in dire straits.

"You all leave, and I stay, which is the most reasonable choice." Surprisingly, Alice also came closer, and her eyes revealed a firm determination. Although she was a woman, she was no less capable than any man on the battlefield.

Just as everyone was arguing and hesitating about who should stay, the enemy's vanguard finally couldn't hold on. A large number of horses foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

Alpha made a prompt decision: "Slow down, retreat!" He led everyone forward without hesitation.

"Lord Alpha, there are still a few enemies behind us. Should we destroy them?" Tony looked at the hundreds of enemies behind him with a contemptuous smile on his face. He felt that these enemies were not to be feared. As long as they turned around, they could be easily destroyed.

At this moment, Alpha quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He knew that although the number of these enemies was small, if he turned around and attacked rashly, it might cause more danger. So he made a decisive decision: "Don't worry about them. Our first priority is to protect the safety of the team and get out of danger as soon as possible."

Although Tony's contempt for the enemy has not diminished, he also understands that Alpha's consideration is wise. At this critical moment, every decision may affect everyone's life and death.

So, under the leadership of Alpha, the team continued to speed up their pace and moved forward towards a safe place. Their figures gradually moved away in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving behind the hundreds of enemies. Perhaps this was a wise choice, or perhaps it was the beginning of another adventure...

"Captain, the enemy's horses are obviously exhausted. As long as we charge, we will definitely catch up with them!" A young soldier's face flushed, his eyes flashing with anxiety. He could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart, took a step forward and said loudly. He tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, as if he was going to rush out in the next second.

At this moment, he watched as the enemy in front of him moved forward slowly, while the enemy chasing him from behind deliberately slowed down, always keeping a certain distance from the other side. This weird stalemate made his anxiety grow like weeds.

"What can we do if we charge forward? Do you think there are tens of thousands of troops behind us?" The head of the regiment frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and calmness. His voice was not loud, but it had a power that calmed people down. He knew very well that they only had a hundred people now, and this number was really insignificant in this vast battlefield. Rushing forward rashly would be like hitting a rock with an egg, which would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

"But, the order..." The adjutant's voice trembled slightly. Thinking back to the order given by the commander, a look of fear appeared on his face. That unquestionable order was like a heavy mountain, pressing on the hearts of each of them.

"No, we can't give up the pursuit, we have been following orders." A hint of determination flashed in the captain's eyes. He certainly would not allow himself to be found disobeying orders. But he was definitely not the kind of person who was blindly impulsive and would not be stupid enough to rush forward and let himself and his brothers die in vain and be devoured by the enemy.

At this moment, the leader's brain was working rapidly, and various thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. He understood that they could not disobey orders, but they could not take risks blindly. This was a difficult game that required a comprehensive plan to complete the mission while ensuring the safety of everyone in the team.

The regiment commander narrowed his eyes and focused on the enemy in front of him, not missing any details of their actions and changes in formation. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, like a hunter who found his prey. "Adjutant, look over there, the enemy's flank seems to be a little loose. We can use this opportunity to send a small team to raid." The regiment commander raised his hand and pointed at the enemy's flank, with a subtle tactic flashing in his eyes.

"But, isn't this too risky?" The adjutant hesitated, a worried look on his face. He knew the danger of this operation very well. If they were not careful, the team might be surrounded by the enemy.

"Adventure is necessary, but we must have strategy. We cannot confront the enemy head-on, but must use our wits. As long as we break through their flanks, we can disrupt their formation and cause chaos for them. Then, the situation may develop in a direction that is favorable to us." The captain explained patiently, trying to convince the adjutant.

The adjutant pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, agreeing with the captain's plan. He believed in the captain's judgment, and also understood that in this situation, taking a risk might be the only way out.

So the regiment commander took quick action and began to organize an elite team. He carefully selected some soldiers who were agile and responsive, and these people were the best in the team. They quietly broke away from the main team, like cheetahs lurking in the dark, sneaking towards the enemy's flank, taking every step carefully, for fear of alarming the enemy.

……

"Lord Alpha, from what I've observed, the number of enemies has obviously decreased." Tony approached Alpha cautiously and warned him in a low voice. His eyes revealed vigilance, and he was always paying attention to the movements around him.

Alpha looked calm and nodded slightly. How could he not know the current situation? At this moment, Fisher had successfully repelled all the vultures in the sky. Those vultures that were originally circling in the sky to provide reconnaissance for the enemy had disappeared without a trace. The eagles were also shocked by Fisher's bravery and did not dare to approach easily. The enemy lost the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, just like losing their eyes, and it was difficult to accurately judge our position. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

"Tony, we must make full use of this advantage. Their horses are very valuable resources. We should try to kill the enemy and keep the horses. This will be of great benefit to our subsequent operations." Alpha analyzed calmly, his eyes revealing wisdom and decisiveness. In his view, these horses are not only a means of transportation, but also an important help for them in this difficult journey.

Tony's eyes flashed with excitement. He had long been dissatisfied with these enemies who were chasing him relentlessly. The pent-up anger was instantly ignited at this moment. Now that he had such an opportunity, how could he let it go easily? He responded without hesitation: "Okay, sir! I will do my best to catch them all in one fell swoop, not a single one will be spared!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of fighting spirit.

Alpha nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Tony's determination. He knew Tony's strength and courage very well. In previous battles, Tony always charged forward without fear. He believed that Tony would be able to complete the task successfully this time. The two exchanged glances in tacit understanding, and then quickly prepared for the battle. They understood that this would be a crucial battle, and every decision and every action was crucial. They had to go all out to achieve the final victory.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy is coming." At this moment, a soldier hurried over and brought the news that the enemy was approaching. A fierce battle was about to begin.
