I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 318: Killing in the City, Thick Fog Outside the City

"Lord Alpha, we have already scouted the surrounding situation. There are many secret sentries around the enemy camp. We dare not get too close and cannot find out the specific situation inside the enemy camp." Gilliana did not even have time to remove her camouflage and immediately ran to report the situation.

"Alpha, what are your plans for this battle?" Athena also came to the front line to observe.

"We can't defeat them." Alpha looked at the situation around him. From the scattered werewolves, he could tell that there were at least tens of thousands of werewolves left. Their thousand people were not enough to fill the enemy's teeth.

"Can we find the enemy's material storage area?" Alpha needs to destroy the enemy's important areas. The material and command areas are the best choices. The enemy's command area must be tightly defended. The material storage area is the best choice.

"The enemy doesn't have any supply storage areas. They completely treat us humans as food that can be taken at any time. Even if they don't have any, the corpses of their own people can be eaten." Gilliana said in an angry tone.

"Accompany me to have a look around." Alpha didn't have a specific method yet. Looking at the surrounding mountains and jungles, Alpha seemed to have some ideas, but he couldn't put them into words.

Listening to the rustling sound of footsteps on the fallen leaves, Alpha knew what method to use.

"We can use fire attack. Ten teams will be scattered in ten areas and set fire to the mountain at the same time at an agreed time." This is Alpha's method.

"The whole area will be engulfed in flames, and we won't be able to control our own destiny." Guns seemed to have objections.

"It's better to fight than to be killed by the enemy." Strong obviously agreed with Alpha's point of view.

"Lady Athena, we can actually break out." A silver soldier stood up, and this idea scared Athena.

Although the knight's idea scared everyone, it was a feasible method and had a high probability of success. Now the werewolves were attacking the city with all their strength, and even if they found their traces, they would not attack them with all their strength.

Everyone looked at Athena, after all, she was the supreme commander here. Her eyes revealed a hint of determination and deep thought, as if she was weighing the pros and cons. Everyone did not seem to be too opposed to this idea of ​​almost deserting the battlefield, after all, the probability of survival for those who stayed was too low.

"Alpha, what do you think now?" Athena frowned, her heart full of contradictions and struggles. She was faced with a difficult decision: to escape and save her life, or to stay without hesitation, even if it meant sacrificing herself.

"I think we can continue with our plan and wait for the right time." Alpha's voice was calm and firm. He was not the kind of person who would do anything for the greater good, but Knight Arthur had done him a favor, so he was unwilling to just give up without doing anything. He knew that sometimes, even the smallest effort could change the entire situation.

"Okay, continue the mission and wait for the opportunity." Athena nodded, understanding what Alpha meant. Waiting for the opportunity means to respond flexibly according to the changes in the situation. If the situation is unfavorable, retreat in time; if there is an opportunity, go all out. This is a strategy that is both cautious and courageous.

Athena then quickly divided the team into ten teams and arranged them to disperse in different locations in the jungle. Each team had a clear goal and task, and after half an hour, all teams would light a fire together as a signal.

However, things did not go as planned. Before the teams had completely reached the designated location, the patrolling werewolves had already noticed the traces of humans. Faced with the sudden change, Athena had to start the fire plan ahead of time.

It was the coldest time of the year, and the area was covered with thick dead branches and leaves. Although it had rained a few days ago, so the dead branches at the bottom were still moist, the dry branches and leaves on the surface were enough to be easily ignited.

With an order, the raging fire spread rapidly, illuminating the dark night sky and bringing great psychological pressure to the enemy. This sudden fire not only disrupted the werewolves' position, but also bought precious time for humans.

Suddenly, the fire spread like a wild horse, and countless fires burned in the darkness, illuminating the night sky like day. This sudden fire not only made it difficult for the enemy to distinguish the lurkers, but also greatly increased the difficulty of extinguishing the fire.

The flames leaped and roared, as if they were going to devour everything. At the same time, the human warriors hiding in the dark also began to take action. They took advantage of the chaotic situation to attack the werewolves who were trying to put out the fire, bringing unprecedented pressure and challenges to these werewolves who were already at a disadvantage.

"Lord Alpha!" Gilliana's voice broke through the noise. She ran to the front of the team with an anxious look on her face. "The enemy is cutting down trees around their camp. It seems that they are planning to use this method to isolate a safe passage without fire."

After hearing the news, Athena quickly approached, her eyes firm and calm, "We can't just sit there and do nothing. We must take action as soon as possible to interrupt their plan. Otherwise, once they successfully establish such a defense line, it will be even more difficult for us to break through."

However, in the current situation, how to effectively stop the enemy without exposing one's own position has become a thorny problem. If you choose to attack head-on, although it may temporarily disrupt the enemy's deployment, it also means giving up the advantage of concealment, putting the entire team in a more dangerous situation; and if you continue to delay and wait for an opportunity, you are likely to be gradually surrounded until there is nowhere to escape.

Faced with such a dilemma, even the experienced fighters could not help but feel a little hesitant and uneasy. The air was filled with tension, and everyone knew that they were about to face a life-and-death battle.

"Lady Athena, the third and fourth knight teams escaped without releasing any fire sources." The scout immediately ran to report the situation, which made the tense atmosphere even more weird.

"There is a way. Since they want to leave, let them attract some enemies for us and set fire behind them to attract the enemy's attention." After Alpha said this, he asked Gilliana to take people to set fire in the direction where the third and fourth knights left.

The sudden fire successfully attracted the enemy's attention, and Gilliana quickly led her men to sneak away. However, the number of enemies attracted was not large, so the situation did not change much.

"It seems that they are determined to defend the camp." Athena frowned and clenched her fists, as if she was making some kind of decision.

"So we will divide into two teams. One team will continue to set fire around the camp to attract the enemy's attention, and the other team will establish an isolation zone between the enemy camp and the city of Alman to prevent all communication between the enemy and the city." It is almost six o'clock now, the sky in the east has turned red, and the sun is about to rise. Alpha is ready to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements.

"Okay, let's follow your plan." Athena had no better idea, and she couldn't leave or directly attack the enemy camp, so she could only try Alpha's method.

Finally, Athena led Alpha and other brave knights, a total of 500 people, to build a blazing wall of fire between the enemy camp and the city.

This firewall not only effectively isolates the enemy's communications, but also greatly limits their range of activities and vision.

At the same time, the remaining three hundred knights scattered in other directions, constantly lighting fires to attract the enemy's attention and create more strategic advantages for the main force.

As the fire continued to spread, the entire battlefield was shrouded in thick smoke, and the vision became extremely blurred. Although this environment was unfavorable to both sides, it provided the knights with a rare opportunity to take cover.

They used the thick smoke as a natural barrier to move silently and adjust their tactical layout. However, in this harsh environment, the air was filled with toxic smoke, which was a huge challenge for everyone.

In order to deal with this situation, the knights had to frequently cast light magic to purify the surrounding air and remove the effects of toxins. Although these light magics could not completely eliminate the harmful substances in the air, they could at least temporarily protect them from harm, allowing them to continue fighting in this poisonous fog.

"Lady Athena, a group of enemies has come out of Alman City, with a number of about 3,000 people." Gilliana came to report immediately. Her voice was full of tension and worry, because she knew that facing such a large enemy force, even the bravest knight would find it difficult to resist.

Athena pondered for a while, then gave the order firmly: "Alpha, Guns, each of you will take a hundred knights to snipe the enemy."

This decision shocked everyone present, because it meant that they were about to face an almost impossible task. After all, the knights had no horses, and they had almost no chance of winning a fight with three thousand werewolves in the jungle, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

However, Alpha and Gunns did not show any hesitation or fear. They answered in unison, "Yes," and quickly began to prepare to set off. Although they knew in their hearts that this might be a battle from which they could not return, the two warriors still accepted the mission without hesitation.

At this moment, Alpha suddenly remembered his loyal old horse, Shadow. He couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if I had a warhorse." Just as he was immersed in the memories of the good old days, a familiar horse cry interrupted his thoughts. Alpha immediately blew a whistle in response.

Surprisingly, it was Jiying who appeared before them! Not only that, it also brought a large group of war horses. This was undoubtedly great news for the knights who were in urgent need of mounts.

The number of these horses far exceeded their needs and was enough to equip the entire team. Therefore, Alpha decided to equip each knight with two horses and send the extra horses back to Athena in the rear. He knew that with the help of these horses, their attack power could be restored by at least half.

Now, with the support of the war horses, although they still faced great danger, at least they saw a glimmer of hope. The situation that was originally almost a one-life-in-nine-death situation has now become an eight-death-two-life situation. Although the change is not big, it is a great encouragement to this group of brave warriors.

"Alpha Knight, how should we fight the enemy now?" Guns' voice was a little nervous. He knew that although his strength had reached the peak of silver, he was no match for ten Alphas. However, they were now facing two thousand werewolves. If they were entangled by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't fight with force, use the water-floating tactic." Alpha responded calmly. He knew that in this situation, confronting the enemy head-on would only bring disastrous consequences. If it really didn't work, Alpha would rather choose to escape from the battlefield, after all, surviving was more important than anything else.

"What is the water-skiing tactic? Alpha Knight." Guns asked with a confused look on his face.

"We will harass them once and then retreat immediately. If they chase us, we will flee. If they don't chase us, we will continue to harass them. We must not let them get caught up with us." Alpha explained. He had decided not to confront the enemy head-on, but to adopt flexible and maneuverable tactics to deal with them.

"Okay, then we'll each take care of each other." Guns thought this was a good idea. As long as they didn't die, everything would be fine.

Deep in the jungle, the smoke of battle filled the air, and the sounds of fighting were endless. The werewolves were troubled by Alpha's rogue style of fighting. If they sent out too few werewolves, they would be easily defeated by the enemy; and if they sent out too many werewolves, the enemy would disappear without a trace like a cunning mouse. If they ignored the enemy, they would set fire to the surrounding mountains and constantly harass them, which was very annoying.

However, as the distance shortened, Alpha and Gunns could only risk getting closer to the enemy, as the enemy was approaching Athena's lurking location, which was their limit.

"Kill!" Seeing Guns being entangled by the enemy, Alpha could not sit idly by. He immediately rushed in from another direction.

"Knight Guns, don't stop, just kill your way through." The two sides met among the enemy. Without any extra communication, they quickly killed their way through the enemy's front line and killed their way out from the other side.

This is when the advantage of the two horses comes into play. They can use the horses to block the werewolves' melee advantage. Although this round of attack caused them to lose half of their horses, it was worth it.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy still has more than a thousand werewolves, we still have a chance." Gilliana looked at how Alpha's tactics had consumed half of the enemy's main force without bloodshed, and an excited expression appeared on her face.

"Don't be careless. Many of their werewolves are still in the jungle and haven't returned to the team." Of course, Alpha doesn't think his ability is special, but the jungle is filled with thick smoke, and it will be difficult to return once you fall behind.

Now the sun has risen, a ray of hope. The werewolves in the city are beginning to retreat, and their pressure is only increasing.

"Lord Alpha, Lady Athena is coming." At this time, Athena brought people to kill.

"After we eat these enemies, we will leave this area." Athena listened to Alpha's water-skiing tactics and chose to believe it. Now they had to leave this area, after all, there were more and more enemies here.
