I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 314: Full Moon Night, Wolves Attack

Just as the darkness was about to completely envelope the whole, the Black Wolf King suddenly swung his thick and powerful fist and smashed it hard at Athena not far away with a devastating momentum.

Faced with the sudden attack, even Athena failed to react in time and could only watch herself being hit by this powerful force and knocked away.

With a loud bang, Athena's body was knocked away like a kite with a broken string, and finally embedded heavily into the extremely hard rock, leaving a deep mark.

At the same time, Alpha, who was standing aside and observing the battle, became the next target. When he saw his companions falling one after another, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. But at this critical moment, Alpha suddenly remembered his special ability - the third commandment, the power of thunder.

Almost at the same time, he quickly activated this skill, and saw lightning flashing all over his body, and his speed and flexibility instantly increased several times. It was precisely relying on this extraordinary reaction speed and agility that Alpha barely avoided the almost certain fatal blow of the Black Wolf King, thus winning himself a precious breathing opportunity.

However, Alpha did not sit there and wait for death, nor did he choose to retreat. Instead, he quickly approached the Black Wolf King. He raised his hand and fired three shots, each of which was wrapped in light energy. These three shots accurately hit the Black Wolf King's head-sized eyes.

The light energy instantly broke through the darkness, and the bullet went straight into the Black Wolf King's eyes. The violent explosion blew the Black Wolf King's eyes apart, and countless dark energies gushed out like a deflated ball.

"Ah!" The knights at the back were swallowed by the darkness and screamed in pain. Their bodies struggled in the darkness, trying to get rid of this evil force.

"Light dispels." Alpha used the remaining energy to activate the light magic again, trying to dispel the darkness around him. However, his light power was no match for the majestic dark power. Hearing the knights' screams, Alpha felt powerless, and his heart was filled with powerlessness and anger.

At this moment, a miracle happened. Alpha's right hand actually took the initiative to absorb the surrounding dark power, like a whirlpool in a river pond, and almost all the energy was swallowed by his right hand. This sudden change surprised Alpha, but he immediately realized that this was the key to defeating the Black Wolf King.

Alpha quickly approached the Black Wolf King, so that the dark energy emitted by the other party could not escape his palm at all. As time passed, the Black Wolf King's body began to shrink rapidly and finally returned to its normal form.

Feeling Alpha's powerful strength, the Black Wolf King ran away the moment he returned to normal. Alpha had no time to stop him, and the Wolf King had already escaped. Looking at the Black Wolf King going away, Alpha felt a little regretful and a little fortunate in his heart, after all, Alpha was no match for the Wolf King now.

"Save people." Alpha's first thought was to rescue the knights who were attacked by the dark energy. Many knights were being eroded by the dark energy, and Alpha could only use light magic to dispel and heal them. The dark power just absorbed was now being continuously transformed into Alpha's fighting spirit, replenishing his huge consumption.

Of course, Alpha's focus was still Athena. He knew that only by protecting her could he ensure hope for the future. So he quickened his pace and ran towards Athena.

After successfully driving away the Black Wolf King and defeating the enemy's conspiracy, Alpha felt unprecedented relief. However, this relief did not last long, because he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something important.

"Oops!" Alpha slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot the mission Lord Arthur gave me." He was secretly glad that he remembered it in time. It turned out that his mission was to maintain order and recruit civilians. Although the battle just now was a victory, it had nothing to do with his mission. Thinking of this, Alpha immediately cheered up and prepared to continue the mission.

"Gilliana, Graia," Alpha turned to his two companions, "You are responsible for cutting off the enemy's heads as trophies. Lady Athena will guard this place. We have other things to do." Although he was exhausted, Alpha could not stop because of his strong sense of responsibility. He knew that as a leader, he must always be vigilant to ensure that everything goes according to plan.

After hearing the order, Gilliana and Graia acted quickly, their eyes full of admiration for Alpha. Not only that, all the priests present also looked at this young magician of light with new eyes - not only because of his pure and magnificent magic power, but also because of his firm will and outstanding leadership at the critical moment.

In fact, the reason why the light magic used by Alpha is so powerful is not entirely due to personal ability, but is achieved through the carefully arranged magic array. In this way, the entire casting process is almost free from any external interference and can naturally achieve extremely high purity.

In addition, when facing the dark forces, these converted light energies will further enhance the power of Alpha's fighting spirit, making him have an almost endless source of energy in battle. It is precisely because of this, coupled with his own unremitting efforts and persistence, that Alpha was able to overcome many crises and ultimately lead everyone to victory.

In this way, Alpha returned to the ground with dozens of knights and hundreds of werewolf heads. Under Alpha's full-scale attack, the people of the city of Alman also knew Alpha's determination.

Especially since Alpha set an example, Graia and Brewster were both appointed by Alpha as his guard knights. They have escaped the category of slaves and officially become knights of light, giving everyone hope.

At this moment, most of the people in the South City believed in Alpha. With the participation and propaganda of these people, the situation in the West City was also developing in a good direction. However, the situation in the Northeast City became more and more intense, and the war between the knights and the people broke out completely.

Alpha watched the war, but could do nothing. His abilities were limited and he could not stop everything. He could only try his best to protect the West City and North City that had already surrendered and to protect these innocent people with all his strength.

When the cockcrowed, the sounds of fighting around seemed to be much quieter, and Alpha organized its military forces to prevent the war from expanding.

"Lord Alpha, can't we stop this?" Looking at the war and killing, Graya showed an expression of pity on her face.

"The hatred between the two sides has taken root. I can't stop everything now. Even if I let them come, they will destroy the stability and let the war spread to the whole city." Alpha wanted to save people, but he was also afraid that these people would spread the fighting because of hatred.

"We can't let them come directly to us, otherwise the knights will use this as an excuse to escalate the battle." Gilliana also knew the current situation.

"We must not allow any riots here now, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain." Alpha could only be hard-hearted.

"If you have people you want to rescue, I can pretend that I didn't see it, but if they commit a crime here, I will wipe out everyone unless you are willing to let everyone be buried with them." This is already Alpha's lowest limit.

"We can try to transfer the innocent people to our side through the sewers, so that they can temporarily avoid danger." Graya looked at the scene in front of her, feeling very sorry. She couldn't accept that those innocent lives were being slaughtered like this.

"This method is worth a try, but we must be careful and keep it secret. At the same time, we must remain vigilant against those who have lost their minds due to hatred. Even if we rescue them, we must properly isolate them." Alpha knew that if they were not handled properly, the consequences would be disastrous. He planned to send these survivors out of the city safely after the mission was completed to avoid the re-emergence of potential conflicts. After all, in this turbulent city, any spark could lead to a greater disaster.

With the arrival of dawn, the ground battles in East City and North City have basically ended, but the air is filled with a sense of oppression. The surviving people either hide in the underground space or huddle in the ruins, not daring to show their heads easily, for fear of becoming the next target. This sense of fear shrouds the entire city in a haze.

In contrast, the South City and West City under Alpha's jurisdiction seemed much calmer. The residents here began to spontaneously collect supplies and provide assistance to support the Knights in their fight against the dark forces. However, Alpha knew that although they seemed to be living in harmony on the surface, in fact, everyone had deep resentment towards the enemy in their hearts. If this emotion was not guided, it would explode sooner or later.

However, for Alpha, these issues are not the most urgent to solve. The most urgent task is to complete the task at hand as soon as possible and ensure that all people involved in the operation are safe.

As for what will happen in the future, such as whether the rescued people will choose to stay or leave the city, or whether he can really leave here as he wishes, that is a matter for the future. At this moment, the most important thing is to concentrate on doing the things in front of him.

The daytime battle outside the city gradually subsided, but tonight was a full-moon night, and for the knights, this was the most difficult time. Whether they could hold on was still an unknown.

At this critical moment, Arthur did not insist on completely eradicating the people of the city of Alman. These people have now obtained basic survival guarantees and provided logistical support for the knights, which has alleviated the serious shortage of knights to a certain extent.

The Alpha organization has conducted the most basic defense training for these militias to ensure that they can effectively protect themselves when facing external threats. They are mainly equipped with large shields and spears, which are widely used on ancient battlefields and have a long historical background.

The large shield can effectively resist enemy attacks and provide necessary protection for the soldiers; while the spear can cause damage to the enemy while maintaining a certain distance, increasing the safety of the battle.

Although this arrangement gives the militia a certain degree of self-protection, their close combat capabilities are relatively weak. In close combat, they may not be able to effectively deal with flexible and changeable enemies, especially when fighting in complex terrain or narrow spaces. This limitation is more obvious.

Therefore, although these militias are prepared for defense, their combat effectiveness may be greatly affected in the event of an attack or surprise attack. Of course, this is also intentional by Alpha. After all, many knights regard them as enemies. Once they are over-equipped, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the knights.

"Lord Alpha, you really can't go on like this!" Gilliana looked anxiously at the exhausted Alpha. He hadn't slept for several days and nights, and he looked so haggard that it was heartbreaking. She knew that Alpha had a great responsibility and mission, but she also knew that if he didn't rest, his body would collapse sooner or later.

"I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, I'll miss something important." Alpha's voice was filled with fatigue and worry. "These people are very emotionally unstable right now. Any small change may lead to unpredictable consequences. Although I know that even if we defend this city, they will eventually die, but I hope they can survive, at least not die in our hands."

Hearing this, Graia couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Lord Alpha, please trust us. Gilliana and I will do our best to protect everyone here and ensure that no accidents happen. We understand your intentions, but one person alone cannot solve all problems."

Just as the two were trying to persuade Alpha, an unexpected situation occurred - despite the noisy environment around him, Alpha suddenly leaned back in his chair and fell asleep quietly. This scene surprised and distressed Gilliana.

Gilliana knew how rare it was for this man who had always been strong and unyielding and had never bowed to difficulties to fall asleep so relaxedly. So she gently said to Graia: "Let him have a good rest for a while. Maybe when he wakes up, he will have a better way to face the predicament in front of him."

"Lord Alpha, why is it so quiet outside? This silence is terrifying." Gilliana stood on the city wall, staring at the land below that was swallowed by the night. It was pitch black all around, with only the occasional sound of the wind and the low roar of wild beasts in the distance breaking the dead silence. She felt an unprecedented uneasiness, as if there was some ominous atmosphere in the air.

In fact, everyone knew that tonight was destined to be a restless night. The werewolf tribe had always been their biggest threat, especially on every full moon night, when they would gather all their strength to launch a fierce attack.

However, although everyone is ready for the upcoming battle, no one knows when it will start. This waiting is like an invisible knife, constantly cutting everyone's heart, making people feel anxious and helpless.

As time passed, the soldiers began to get a little anxious. Some kept stroking their weapons, trying to relieve their inner tension; others prayed silently, hoping to spend the night safely.

But for Gilliana, what worries her most are the young recruits - it is their first time facing such a severe situation, and it is still unknown whether they can remain calm and exert their due combat effectiveness.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night. A scout ran over breathlessly: "Report! Enemy sightings ahead!" This sentence echoed throughout the camp like thunder, and everyone immediately entered combat mode. Although their hearts were still filled with fear and uncertainty, at least now they had a clear goal, and everyone could finally be freed from the long wait.
