I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 341 Rescue and Self-rescue

"Lord Alpha, there are a large number of cavalry approaching from the front. They are divided into three directions, with about fifty people in each direction." At this time, Graya ran over anxiously.

"Let's go out and see what's going on." Alpha was not afraid of these enemies, but the refugees around him were in trouble. The outer fence had not been built yet, and there were also people arriving one after another around. The situation was very bad. Once the bandits attacked, Alpha would be unable to provide any protection.

"Anthony, you continue to cut down trees to create obstacles. The cut trees do not need to be trimmed and can be piled directly on the periphery. Andrew, you take people to protect them." Now with seven sets of equipment, they at least have a certain ability to protect themselves.

"As long as you can hold a weapon, use the sharpened sticks. Everyone, use them. At the same time, pile up dead branches and leaves, and light a fire when the enemy approaches to hinder them." Alpha wanted to use all available resources.

"They are just children, they don't have the ability to fight." At this time someone objected to Alpha's opinion.

"The enemy will not let you go just because you are a child or a woman. If you are afraid, then why don't you go out and surrender to the enemy now? I believe they will not hurt you." Alpha roared. When the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be broken. This is not the time to reason.

"Let those who are unwilling to protect themselves go to the mountain and don't get in the way here." Alpha shouted loudly. At this moment, there were only three sides of the guardrail, which could not provide sufficient support and protection.

Finally, one third of the refugees continued to flee to the mountain, believing that as long as the people below could stop the enemy, they would be safe. But they seemed to have forgotten that there were roads all around the hill, and they could just get off their horses and climb up.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy has begun attacking the refugees outside. What should we do?" Graya shouted anxiously, her voice full of concern for the safety of her compatriots.

"Don't panic," Alpha responded calmly, "Andrew, pick a few smart and good horsemen to go with me. You don't need to bring weapons. Weapons and equipment are left to you." Alpha knew that the purpose of this trip was to rescue rather than to confront head-on, so he emphasized the conditions for followers. At the same time, it also prevented these enemies from attacking by surprise.

Following the instructions, suitable candidates were quickly selected. After everything was ready, Alpha led this group of selected personnel to set off quickly. Before leaving, he did not forget to emphasize again to the people who followed him: "Remember, your main task is not to participate in the battle, but to ensure the safe evacuation of all civilians and bring back any dropped equipment encountered on the way to the camp. As for the responsibility of fighting the enemy, it will be borne by Knight Graya and I." These words not only clearly instructed their direction of action, but also reflected the high attention paid by the leader to the safety of the lives of team members.

As the sound of horse hooves faded away, the group galloped towards the target location. When they approached the battlefield, they heard screams and cries for help, which further strengthened Alpha's determination to save people.

Alpha sped up and rushed forward. At the same time, the enemy also noticed the two knights who suddenly appeared. Faced with such an unfavorable situation (only two people against dozens of enemies), the enemy commander decisively ordered ten elite cavalrymen to intercept.

However, just when everyone thought that the battle would end with the advantage of more people versus fewer people, an astonishing scene took place - in just one charge, five enemy riders were cut down by Alpha and his companions in a lightning speed!

"Graya, you can deal with these enemies. I will continue to move forward." Alpha's voice was firm and calm, and his eyes were fixed on the bandits who were still killing innocent people. Although his heart was filled with anger and grief, he did not stop, because he knew that time was running out, and every minute and every second could mean the loss of more lives.

At the same time, Graya nodded, indicating that she understood and accepted the mission. She quickly adjusted her state and devoted herself to the battle in front of her. Facing the remaining enemies, although there were many and they were extremely fierce, Graya was not afraid. She flexibly shuttled between the enemy formations, and each swing of the sword could accurately hit the target, showing extraordinary combat effectiveness.

In order to ensure the mission could be completed efficiently while guaranteeing his own safety, Graya also specially assigned several capable subordinates to follow him around, responsible for peripheral security, picking up equipment, killing the wounded, and other tasks.

This not only improves the overall combat efficiency, but also makes the entire team work more closely together, forming a force that cannot be underestimated. As the battle gradually enters a white-hot stage, everyone tries their best to play their role, just to end this disaster as soon as possible and protect more innocent lives from harm.

"You are overestimating yourself. Come with me to kill him." The captain who slaughtered the civilians saw that there was only one person coming to kill him, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. He led all the knights to roar and kill Alpha.

But at this moment, Alpha's strength is no longer comparable to those ordinary bandits. Even without using the dark power, Alpha is a peak bronze knight and is no longer the knight who had just traveled through time.

Alpha was fearless and charged directly into the enemy. At this moment, Alpha was like a god of war. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the heart of the enemy, and every swing of the sword was deadly. His movements were as fast as lightning, and he killed several bandits in an instant.

Seeing this, the captain's face changed drastically and he hurriedly ordered a retreat, but it was too late. Alpha was like a tiger rushing down the mountain, and no one could stop him. His eyes were full of determination and resolve, as if he wanted to kill all the evil. In the end, the captain was stabbed in the chest by Alpha's sword and fell in a pool of blood.

In just a few rounds, half of the more than 40 knights were killed. Faced with such a terrifying fighting force, the remaining knights were frightened and fled in all directions. Alpha alone could not save the situation, but he still fought hard and finally killed nearly 30 bandits. Coupled with Graya's achievements, this wave of teams was basically completely defeated.

After the battle, Alpha and Graia quickly cleaned up the mess and organized their equipment and weapons. They knew that they could not protect all the people on this vast plain with their own strength. Therefore, they began to organize the evacuation of the people and moved them to a safer place. Although time was tight, they still tried their best to ensure that the people in front of them could leave safely.

The two groups of bandits on the other side had also launched an attack on the refugee gathering place in the rear, but due to the careful arrangements and deployment beforehand, the enemy's war horses were completely useless and they could only advance forward step by step with difficulty.

"There are people up there too? Let's kill them." Seeing that these refugees were already prepared, even if they took over this place, the losses would be huge, so a group of bandits chose to attack the mountain. After all, there was no protection up there.

"Lord Apollo, the enemy has divided its troops into two groups. How should we deal with them now?" Graya wanted to divide the troops as well. After all, they now had more than 30 war horses and armed warriors.

"We have few soldiers, and they are just refugees wearing equipment. They have no fighting power at all. You lead them forward slowly and make an attacking posture." Alpha wanted to pretend that a large army was attacking in order to overwhelm the enemy.

"Lord Apollo, let us join the battle. This is a battle to protect us. We cannot hide behind." Unexpectedly, the five-member team that followed Alpha before was also willing to join the battle. This surprised and touched Alpha.

"Okay, one of you stay behind to lead the others forward, deploying them in a full-scale manner and displaying the momentum of a large army pressing forward. The rest of you follow me to charge." Alpha made the decision quickly, even though his preparations were extremely dangerous. After all, if they failed, the team behind them would have no protection at all.

"Yes, Lord Apollo." Everyone shouted in unison, their voices full of firmness and determination.

"This time we will adopt the tactic of cutting flesh, run away as soon as we touch, and don't miss it. Graya and I will be the sharp knife to penetrate the enemy, and you will follow closely to deal with the wounded, and don't fall behind." Alpha knew that they were outnumbered, and if they were held back by the enemy, he might be fine, but the team behind him would be in danger. Even the experienced Graya had never encountered such a group battle, and she was afraid that she would be in danger.

"Yes, Master Apollo." The crowd was not afraid at this moment, but was passionate about joining the battle. Of course, this was also due to the inspiring effect of Alpha's light magic, which boosted their morale.

Following Alpha's order, everyone launched the fiercest charge. They rushed towards the enemy in front of them like an unstoppable force. The air was filled with a tense and fierce atmosphere, and everyone went all out in this life-and-death struggle.

Alpha and Graia were the first to rush into the enemy camp as the spearheads. Their swords cut through the air like lightning, and every swing took a life. Alpha's light magic not only inspired his teammates, but also weakened the enemy's power to a certain extent, making their attack smoother.

Graia showed her unparalleled fighting skills. She moved flexibly between the enemies, and every move was extremely accurate. Her dagger flashed coldly in the sun, like a sickle in the hand of the god of death, reaping life after life.

The team members who followed closely behind were also not idle. They followed Alpha's instructions and quickly dealt with the injured enemies. Their movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation. Everyone knew that only by ending the battle quickly could they ensure their own safety.

As time went on, the enemy team gradually became confused under the joint attack of Alpha and Andrew. They began to panic because they had never encountered such a fierce opponent. However, Alpha and his team became more and more courageous, their morale was high, as if nothing could stop them from moving forward.

Finally, after a fierce fight, the last enemy fell. The battlefield was silent, with only the panting of the victors and the sound of birds singing in the distance. Alpha and his team successfully defeated these bandits and protected their homes and people.

However, this victory was not without a price. Some team members were injured and needed emergency treatment. But overall, they were lucky to survive and win this life-and-death struggle.

Although this battle did not directly result in a large number of enemy casualties, Alpha saw the firm fighting spirit shown by the people. This indomitable spirit is the real victory in his heart. He knows that he has the ability to help these people overcome difficulties, but if they cannot unite and be self-reliant, relying solely on external assistance will not fundamentally solve the problem.

At this moment, Graia hurried over and said, "Lord Apollo, there is a group of enemies on the mountain attacking the innocent people who have fled there." Her tone was full of anxiety and worry. Although some people had chosen to leave the camp and go to what they thought was a safer place, they were now facing threats from bandits and seemed to be suffering the punishment they deserved.

After hearing the news, Alpha made a quick decision: "Anthony, you are responsible for organizing people to repair the camp and take care of the injured; Andrew, select thirty warriors to go up the mountain with me to meet the enemy. Remember, just follow my pace." After saying these words, he led an elite team to the top of the mountain. There, a more intense battle is about to begin...

In this operation, Alpha played a crucial role. He was like a sharp knife, successfully tearing through the enemy's defense line. However, once the front line was broken, he handed the subsequent battle to Graia and Andrew's team. Alpha's main responsibility became to ensure their safety. Unless it was a matter of life and death, he would hardly take the initiative to intervene in the battle.

After half a day of fierce fighting, most of the bandits were either shot dead or captured. In the end, only a few dozen people managed to escape. Even an experienced fighter like Alpha felt helpless about these scattered and fleeing enemies. After all, it was an extremely difficult task to track and eliminate all the escapees in the vast terrain.

"The most important thing now is to treat the injured and properly place the prisoners." Facing the post-war situation, Alpha calmly gave orders. He did not choose to completely eliminate all hostile forces, but left some alive as a source of intelligence.

By interrogating these captives, he hopes to learn more about other bandit gangs in the surrounding areas and prepare for new challenges that may arise in the future. Such a decision not only reflects his deep understanding of the current situation, but also demonstrates his long-term strategic vision.

"Reston, how did you become a bandit?"
