I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 300: Divine Soldiers from Heaven, Weakness in Numbers

"Lady Athena, what should we do now? The enemy is approaching." Gunns could clearly feel the strength of the knight who looked exactly like Odysseus. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he knew that now was not the time to retreat.

"I will deal with the strongest knight, you guys pay attention to the others." Athena said calmly. There was a hint of firmness and confidence in her voice, even though she knew it would not be easy to face the fake Odyssey.

Although both of them are Golden Knights, one is a newly promoted rookie, while the other is a veteran who has reached the peak of the Golden Knights. The gap between the two is obvious. However, as a leader, Athena knows that she must stand up and take on this responsibility.

"Okay, Lady Athena, we will do our best to stop all enemies." Guns responded.

Guns is the strongest warrior here besides Athena, so he naturally has to take on the responsibility of protecting his teammates. Despite the huge pressure, he believes that with the strength of the team and the blessing of the power of discipline, they still have hope of overcoming the current difficulties. Everyone is ready for the upcoming battle.

Following Athena's order, the members of the Knights of Light quickly adjusted their formation and found their own positions. The air was filled with tension and anticipation, as if even time had frozen at this moment. Suddenly, a sharp sound of metal collision resounded through the sky - that was the signal for the Dark Knights to charge!

The fake Odyssey rushed towards Athena first, and its speed was astonishing. At the same time, several other dark knights also launched attacks in different directions, trying to distract the attention of the Knights of Light. Faced with such a fierce attack, Guns immediately commanded his men to meet the enemy: "The three-man team on the left is responsible for intercepting the enemy on the left; the four-man team on the right is to resist the enemy on the right. Alpha, Strong, and Gilliana will protect Lord Barnes closely, and the rest of you will fight the enemy head-on with me!"

Before he finished speaking, the two sides had already engaged in close combat. The sound of swords flashed and shadowed, and sparks flew everywhere. The duel between Athena and the fake Odysseus was particularly eye-catching: the former wielded a holy and flawless long sword, while the latter used a huge black blade that exuded an evil aura; the two fought back and forth, with exquisite moves that were dazzling.

At this moment, a seemingly inconspicuous ordinary knight suddenly rushed out from the crowd, holding a small dagger shining with strange light and pointing it directly at Athena's back.

It turned out that he had quietly circled behind the opponent before the battle began, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. Just as the dagger was about to reach the target, Athena seemed to have noticed something, turned around abruptly to avoid the fatal blow, and counterattacked...

The battle continues, and every second is full of variables. But for the Knights of Light, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, as long as there is faith in their hearts and companions around them, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. In this crucial battle that determines the direction of fate, every participant will do their best to contribute their own strength to the final victory.

In this epic duel, the battle between Arthur and the Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria is undoubtedly the most intense and eye-catching. When the two powerful warriors meet, the air seems to be filled with tension, and the knights around them hold their breath, fearing to miss any details.

As the battle began, Arthur first swung his ordinary long sword, with dazzling light flashing on the sword. Every swing could bring a strong sword energy, and he went straight to his opponent. Luciferia on the opposite side was not to be outdone. The dark blade in his hand also exuded a terrifying power. The sparks from the collision between the two almost ignited the surrounding air.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with crisscrossing swords and shining lights, accompanied by deafening metal collision sounds and constantly erupting energy fluctuations, making people feel like they were in the center of a storm.

Arthur gradually gained the upper hand in this life-and-death battle with his extraordinary courage and wisdom; but Lucifaria, as an experienced dark knight, would not give in easily, and the two sides showed extremely high combat skills and willpower in the fight.

As time went on, Arthur began to use his speed advantage to flexibly dodge Luciferia's attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack. Every time his sword passed through space, it left a bright track, as if it was a ray of hope in the darkness. At the same time, Luciferia relied on his deep inner strength to support the continuous offensive, trying to break Arthur's defense.

At this moment, Arthur discovered a flaw - Luciferia had slightly lost her balance in order to launch a powerful attack. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Arthur quickly jumped up, raised his sword and chopped down at the opponent's head. At this critical moment, Luciferia barely turned sideways to avoid the fatal blow, but was still scratched on the shoulder by the tip of the sword, and blood instantly dyed part of the black armor red.

After being injured, Luciferia's eyes flashed with surprise, which then turned into a more resolute determination. He knew that he could no longer passively take a beating like this, so he adjusted his strategy and took a more cautious attitude to deal with the next battle. However, even so, facing Arthur who had found his rhythm and gained confidence, it was not easy to turn the tables.

On the other side of the battlefield, the battle between Athena and Dark Odyssey was equally fierce. However, the situation here was more critical because Athena was being suppressed by the enemy. Dark Odyssey's strength, speed and defense capabilities far exceeded Athena's, putting her at a clear disadvantage in the battle.

In every battle, Athena had to go all out to barely resist the attack of Dark Odyssey. She waved her sword, trying to find the opponent's flaws, but was easily resolved by the opponent every time. Dark Odyssey continued to launch fierce attacks, and each blow was destructive, forcing Athena to remain highly vigilant at all times.

Despite the grim situation, Athena did not give up hope. She knew that only through wisdom and courage could she defeat this powerful enemy. So she began to look for opportunities to use her own strategies to turn the tide of the battle.

At the same time, Athena prayed silently in her heart, hoping that other companions could come to support her as soon as possible. She knew that only by unity could they finally defeat Dark Odyssey and protect world peace and justice.

The battle between Athena and the fake Odysseus has reached a fever pitch. In this fierce duel, Athena can only rely on the power of discipline and the holy sword to barely support herself.

However, the fake Odysseus did not seem to be in a hurry to end the battle. He clearly had the ability to suddenly burst out with power that surpassed the Golden Knight, just like when he attacked Knight Arthur. If this really happened, Athena would not be able to withstand his offensive.

In less than ten minutes, Athena's equipment was already in tatters and her wounds were increasing. Despite this, she did not give up resistance, but waited for an opportunity.

Although the gap between the two in strength was huge, the opponent's overly arrogant attitude gave Athena a glimmer of hope. She knew that as long as she seized this opportunity, it would be possible to turn the tide of the battle. Therefore, Athena continued to persist, looking for the key moment that could allow her to turn the tables.

In fact, the most dangerous battlefield at the moment is the third battlefield, the direction of protecting Barnes. Although they have more than 30 knights in numbers and face less than 20 knights, the enemies are all bronze knights and silver knights, while they only have 10 bronze knights, and the rest are ordinary high-level knights who cannot use fighting spirit. These ordinary high-level knights can only be meat pads and cannot play a big role at all.

"Strong, let's retreat to the passage. We can't let them take advantage of their numbers." Alpha reminded loudly. Everyone was in this hall. The enemy's flexible pace made it difficult for them to attack, and the enemy's attacks could come from all directions, making it difficult for them to cope with them.

"I'll cover the rear, Alpha Knight, you take the adults and retreat first." Strong was already surrounded by the enemy, with more and more wounds on his body. He knew that he was in a dangerous situation, but he was not afraid and resolutely chose to stay behind to cover the rear. He knew that only in this way could he buy more time for others to evacuate.

Alpha looked at Strong's determined eyes, and a feeling of admiration welled up in his heart. He knew that Strong made this decision for the safety of the entire team, so he nodded without hesitation, turned around and led Barnes to retreat towards the passage.

Seeing this, the other knights followed suit and began to evacuate in an orderly manner. They knew that only by uniting together could they minimize casualties. In this battle, everyone understood their responsibilities and missions, and they were willing to pay any price to protect Barnes.

"Lord Alpha, the enemy is coming." Gilliana warned loudly, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her voice.

Alpha calmly scanned the surroundings and quickly calculated various possibilities in his mind. He knew that the current situation was extremely critical, but there was still hope. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The bronze knights will hold the front line, and the other knights will wait for an opportunity to move."

This order sounded a bit strange. After all, under normal circumstances, ordinary knights were sent to the front line to act as cannon fodder. However, Alpha had his own considerations. He believed that only by sneak attacks could these ordinary knights play their greatest role. If they were directly allowed to face the enemy's powerful senior knights, the result would only be annihilation. Therefore, he decided to adopt a more cautious strategy.

"Yes." Although they were confused, all the knights followed Alpha's order without hesitation. They knew that any hesitation at this critical moment could lead to disastrous consequences. So the bronze knights quickly gathered together and formed a solid line of defense.

At the same time, Alpha was also carefully observing the changes in the battlefield situation. He knew that due to the narrow passage, the enemy's high-level knights' numerical advantage could not be effectively utilized. In this way, as long as they could seize the opportunity to counterattack, there might be a glimmer of hope. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As expected, in the following battle, due to the terrain restrictions and Alpha's carefully arranged strategy, the side that was originally at a disadvantage gradually stabilized its position. Although the battle was still very fierce, at least there was no danger to life for the time being. Seeing this scene, Alpha secretly felt lucky: Fortunately, he made the right decision in time.

"Lord Barnes, could you give us knights some blessing of light? So that we can better protect you, sir." Alpha actually took a fancy to Barnes's fighting ability. After all, the strength of this cardinal was not comparable to that of their knights. However, such a request was too much. If Barnes was more cruel, he could kill Alpha directly.

"Alpha Knight, I can't be distracted at the moment. The dark wizard Malcolm is still around. Any distraction may lead to a sneak attack from the opponent." Barnes also had his own concerns.

"Lord Barnes, I was reckless." Alpha knew that what the other party said was true. At this moment, Alpha seemed to be asking Arthur for help, but their targets were different.

"But Alpha Knight, you have the Blessing of Light bestowed on you by the Pope. As long as you have enough energy, you can use it unlimitedly." Barnes reminded.

"Lord Barnes, my fighting spirit is barely enough for my own use. I don't have any extra energy to provide to Hymn of Light." Alpha knew it well.

"Your weapons absorb the enemy's energy and can be converted into fighting spirit, but the efficiency is too low. I will use special methods to improve your efficiency." This is the only way now. Of course, this will harm Alpha's interests. After all, the final mission reward is based on the number of kills and the energy absorbed. The more you use now, the less fruits of victory in the future.

"Okay, I'm willing to use it." Alpha didn't hesitate at all. If he wanted the reward, he had to survive.

With Barnes' support and transformation, Alpha used the energy stored in the Vatican's equipment to inspire the Light Tribute and fully support the knights in front. He knew the importance of this battle and was willing to fight even if all his energy was used up. However, as the battle continued, Alpha began to feel powerless and worried that his energy would not last long.

"Lord Barnes, can you lift the restrictions on the weapons of other masterless knights?" Alpha made a request to Barnes. He had his own considerations and selfish motives. He knew that these masterless knights (knights who died in battle) held a large number of weapons in their hands. If the restrictions could be lifted, others would be able to better assist him in fighting the enemy.

However, Barnes' answer disappointed Alpha: "It's very troublesome and I can't provide support for the time being." It turned out that lifting weapons restrictions requires full commitment, and Barnes is currently busy dealing with other urgent matters and cannot spare time.

This is also one of the restrictions imposed by the Church on the knights. Each weapon will recognize its owner after the first use. If you want to change the owner afterwards, you must go to the Church to erase the traces. This is a measure to prevent everyone from killing each other for rewards. Although this rule guarantees the loyalty and unity of the knights to a certain extent, it also brings trouble to Alpha at certain critical moments.

Faced with such a dilemma, Alpha decided to continue to persevere and do his best to protect the knights ahead.

"Master Alpha, there are many stars behind us."
