I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 373 Mutated Monkey

"You stay with me and be my guard knight." Alpha looked serious and kept the brave and fearless knight by his side. He did this because he was keenly aware that the knight had been left with a strange mark by the enemy. The mysterious mark seemed to be a curse of death, indicating that the enemy would pursue the knight relentlessly and launch a fatal pursuit.

As expected, the mysterious creature was hiding in the dark shadows, like a pair of evil eyes hidden in the night, watching closely. Its target was clear, it was the marked knight, and its greedy and cruel eyes seemed to have regarded the knight as a ready catch.

Alpha and the knights did not dare to slack off at all. They worked closely with each other and carefully protected the knights in the middle. Their eyes were alert, always paying attention to every move around them, not missing any abnormality.

"Lord Apollo!" In the silence, the monkey's loud shout suddenly rang out, instantly breaking the suffocating silence. At the same time, a black shadow, like a black lightning, rushed towards Alpha at an incredible speed. The black shadow, with a murderous aura, cut through the air and made a sharp whistling sound.

Alpha, who had been prepared for this, reacted quickly, holding the dagger with a cold glow firmly in his hand. His eyes were like cold stars in the cold night, calmly and firmly staring at the direction where the shadow was coming from. At the same time, he loudly reminded his companions: "Pay attention to other directions! This monster may be attacking from the east while making a feint to the west!" His voice was steady and powerful, echoing around like a huge bell, injecting a shot of confidence into his panicked companions.

However, the speed of the shadow was so fast that it seemed to have broken through the limitations of time and space, like a fleeting phantom. Alpha was on full alert, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he was closely following the shadow's every move. But even so, the shadow's erratic flight trajectory still made it difficult for him to accurately predict. Sometimes it dived rapidly, sometimes it rose sharply, and sometimes it circled in strange arcs, making it hard to predict.

Time was running out, and any second of hesitation could lead to irreversible consequences. Alpha knew that the situation had reached a critical moment, so he made an extremely difficult decision without hesitation.

Alpha focused all his attention on the marked guard. His eyes revealed a firm determination. He was determined to use his body to build a solid life defense line for the guard.

This is undoubtedly a life-and-death gamble. If Alpha makes a mistake in judgment, not only will his own life be in danger, but he is also likely to push the guards into an even more dangerous abyss. But there is no hesitation or retreat in his eyes. He has only one firm belief in his heart: to protect his companions and keep the team safe.

At this critical moment of life and death, Alpha demonstrated extraordinary courage and unswerving faith. His figure appeared particularly tall in the dim light, and he perfectly interpreted with his actions what true leadership is.

Alpha's figure was like a swift gust of wind, with an unstoppable momentum, and instantly blocked the guards like a solid wall. The black shadow was wrapped in a surging murderous intent, and it rushed forward fiercely, and the fierce attack seemed to tear everything into pieces. Alpha waved the dagger in his hand without hesitation, and the sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and started a thrilling and exciting fierce fight with the black shadow.

Each confrontation was accompanied by dazzling sparks. It was a collision of strength and speed, a contest between justice and evil. Alpha's movements were agile and precise, and each swing of the sword just blocked the crazy attack of the black shadow. His swordsmanship was skillful and his sword moves were sharp. The dagger seemed to have life in his hand, like a smart silver snake, moving freely in the darkness. Each attack was powerful and deadly.

The companions around witnessed Alpha's brave and fearless act, and they were filled with endless admiration and strong encouragement. They were deeply moved by Alpha's courage and responsibility, and the passion in their hearts was instantly ignited. Driven by this powerful spiritual force, they stepped forward one after another and closely surrounded Alpha and his guards, forming an indestructible steel defense line. They cooperated with each other tacitly, as if they had telepathy. With a glance or a movement, they could understand each other's intentions, support each other, and jointly resist potential threats from all directions.

In this intense, life-or-death battle, everyone was fully focused, devoting their whole body and soul to this thrilling defense battle. Their eyes were firm and resolute, and they had only one common belief in their hearts - to protect Alpha and the safety of the entire team. Their breathing rose and fell with the rhythm of the battle, and their clothes were soaked with sweat, but there was no fear or retreat in their eyes, only the desire for victory and loyalty to their companions.

In the fierce battle, Alpha stared at the shadow intently, his sharp eyes like a hawk locking onto its prey, not missing any slight movement or flaw. With his keen insight and rich combat experience accumulated over many years on the battlefield, his brain worked rapidly, analyzing the shadow's movements like a precision instrument, and in a short moment he accurately determined the shadow's weaknesses.

Alpha's eyes became sharper, tightly locking onto the shadow's every move, not missing any fleeting details. His brain was working at high speed, and various coping strategies flashed through his mind. At this moment, he was ready to seize the shadow's exposed flaws, give it a fatal blow, and end this thrilling contest.

However, after the sneak attack failed, the black shadow disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost. There was no sign of its disappearance, as if it had never appeared in this world, leaving only a creepy silence, as if the fierce battle just now was just an illusory dream.

Alpha quickly checked the weapon in his hand and saw that the sword was stained with some green liquid, which gave off a strange luster in the dim light. He immediately realized that the black shadow was probably injured. This discovery gave Alpha a glimmer of hope, and at the same time, he deduced that although the black shadow was extremely fast, its defensive ability might not be as strong as imagined.

"Captain Apollo, two more knights were killed just now!" Monkey's voice was mixed with shock and anger, and his tone unconsciously rose a few notes. He couldn't imagine that in such a short period of time, five shadow knights had been killed by the enemy's sneak attack. This series of losses was undoubtedly a huge shame for Monkey, the leader of the shadow knights, and the flame of anger burned in his heart.

"Save the people first! As long as we can rescue the hostages above our heads, these dark creatures will no longer be able to hide." Alpha said with a firm look and a calm expression. He knew very well that the reason these shadows could appear and disappear in front of everyone's eyes and attack at will was that they relied on the humans hanging above their heads as cover. Only by cutting off their cover could they completely unveil their mysterious veil and make them nowhere to hide.

As the rescue operation continued, the number of hostages gradually decreased, and the shadow's space was gradually compressed. Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, the shadow was forced out of its hiding corner. As soon as it appeared, everyone subconsciously shrank their necks tightly, staring at this cunning and cruel enemy with eyes as sharp as torches, as if they wanted to eat it alive.

"Fattam, Hoyes, go up and create obstacles!" Alpha shouted in a loud voice. As a heavy-armored knight, Fattam's armor was thick and solid, indestructible, like a mobile fortress; Hoyes was a mecha warrior transformed by high technology, exuding a cold metallic luster, and his defense ability was far beyond that of ordinary people, and almost no one could easily break through.

Of course, Alpha knew that it was almost impossible for the two of them to kill this extremely agile and ferocious mutant monkey. His purpose was just to use the two's super strong defense to create some obstacles for the team, so as to buy precious time for the subsequent combat plan.

After hearing Alpha's order, Fatam and Hoyce did not hesitate at all, their eyes revealed a firm determination, and they immediately rushed towards the mutant monkey like an arrow from a bow. They were agile and moved quickly, and in an instant they blocked the wild monkey's way with their bodies, making it unable to escape easily.

Seeing this, the mutant monkey was furious, emitting sharp roars and launching a frenzied attack. It was extremely fast, waving its claws like sharp blades, bringing with it streaks of cold light, but the armor of Fatam and Hoyce was as solid as a rock. No matter how the mutant monkey attacked, it could only leave shallow scratches on them, with no substantial effect.

At the same time, the other team members did not slack off. They seized this rare opportunity and quickly surrounded the wild monkey from all sides. Alpha held an extremely sharp sword, the blade of the sword flashed with cold light, and it was particularly dazzling in the dim light. He had a sharp gaze and attacked the wild monkey with great momentum. His sword skills were superb and skillful, and every stab of the sword was extremely accurate, aiming directly at the vital points of the wild monkey. The other team members also displayed their own special skills. Some cast magic, and brilliant magic lights shone in the air; some waved their weapons and coordinated with Alpha's attack to form a tight attack network.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the wild monkey gradually fell into trouble. Its movements became slower, and its originally swift attacks were no longer as intimidating as before. It rushed left and right, trying to break through the encirclement of everyone, but was ruthlessly blocked every time.

Alpha keenly caught this change, saw the right moment, and with a flash of determination in his eyes, he stabbed the mutant monkey's throat with a sword. This sword condensed all his strength and determination, with a powerful force. The mutant monkey couldn't dodge in time, let out a shrill scream, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly.

After a thrilling and arduous battle, the team members finally welcomed the dawn of victory. They smiled with satisfaction on their tired faces and breathed a sigh of relief. In this difficult battle, they not only successfully rescued the trapped hostages, but also defeated the vicious and cunning mutant monkeys, successfully defending justice and dignity.

The success of this operation is of course inseparable from Alpha's outstanding command ability. His calm judgment and decisive decision-making at critical moments are like a beacon, guiding the team members and leading them to escape danger time and time again. But more importantly, every team member has made unremitting efforts and tenacious struggle. They did not flinch in the face of danger, worked closely together, and defeated the seemingly invincible enemy with firm beliefs and tenacious will.

However, just when everyone thought the battle was over and immersed in the joy of victory, a sudden and unexpected voice broke the silence.

"Lord Apollo, there are more than one mutant monkey. There are two more here." This sudden report was like a bombshell, instantly exploding in the crowd, leaving everyone stunned. Their faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes wide open with shock and fear. It was not until this moment that they woke up from their dreams. It turned out that there was more than one of these strange monsters. The reason for the previous elusive and silent attacks was finally found.

Faced with this new and thorny challenge, the team members did not have time to be too shocked. They quickly adjusted their state, their eyes became firm and resolute, and they were ready to face a new round of more brutal battles. After realizing that there were other wild monkeys, the team members' nerves became tense again, like a taut bowstring ready to explode. They knew in their hearts that the next battle would be more difficult than before. Because they not only have to face an increasing number of enemies, but also have to deal with various unknown variables that may appear at any time, and each unknown may become a fatal threat.
