I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 293 The Holy War Begins, Alpha is Confused

"Listen now, thugs in the city. We will give you ten minutes to open the city gates and surrender. Otherwise, we will start a holy war without mercy." As the stern threat of Grand Knight Arthur echoed in the air, all the knights surrounded the city of Alman, forming an indestructible human wall. They were wearing shining armor, holding sharp swords, with firm and cold eyes, as if they were ready to engage in a brutal battle at any time.

The guards on the city wall watched the movements outside the city nervously, their heartbeats accelerated, and they held their weapons tightly. The residents in the city also felt unprecedented pressure and fear, and they hid in their homes, closed the doors and windows, and prayed that this disaster would end as soon as possible.

However, the ruler of the city of Alman would not surrender easily. He knew that once the city gates were breached, the entire city would fall into chaos and destruction. Therefore, he ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle and defend their homeland to the death.

In this tense atmosphere, time passed by minute by minute. Ten minutes passed in a flash, and the city gates were still closed. Seeing this, Arthur's face became even gloomier. He raised the scepter in his hand and announced loudly: "The holy war begins!"

Following this order, the knights roared like wild beasts and rushed towards the city wall. They used their shields to block the arrows and stones from the defenders, while swinging their swords to kill the enemies. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with the flashing of swords, the flying of blood and flesh, and the tragic battle scene was terrifying.

However, the defenders of the city of Alman did not give up easily. Relying on the solid walls and tenacious will, they repelled the knights' attacks again and again. The two sides fell into a stalemate, and the battle became more intense and cruel.

Looking at the flames of war ahead, Alpha was filled with doubts and puzzlement. He didn't understand why these people were so fanatical, as if they were driven by some force, forgetting life and death, forgetting fear. Their eyes revealed a firm belief, as if they were willing to do anything for a certain goal.

Athena walked to the front of the team and handed a spear and a knight's sword to each person. These weapons were specially made by the Church for magic weapons, which had the ability to absorb the enemy's energy. The user could convert the absorbed energy into fighting spirit to enhance their own strength; they could also accumulate it, and after the holy war was over, the Church would activate the formation to stimulate their own ultimate potential.

"Remember, once the holy war begins, no one in the city will be innocent." Athena's voice echoed in the air, her eyes swept over everyone, but finally stopped on Alpha.

"Everyone you see may be an enemy. You can kill them without hesitation. The number of enemies you kill will determine how much your strength can be improved." Athena has been waiting for this moment for a long time. It is impossible for her to give up the holy war, and she will not let go of those people who Alpha thought were innocent.

Hearing this, Alpha felt a chill running down his spine. Although he had experienced countless life-and-death battles on the battlefield, he could not bring himself to kill unarmed elderly people, children, and women. This violated his moral bottom line and conscience.

"What about the elderly, children and women?" Alpha couldn't help but ask, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Athena's face became even colder, and there was no warmth in her eyes. "Once the holy war begins, everyone will be considered a pagan. If you don't kill them, they will surely die." Her words were like a sharp blade, piercing Alpha's heart. Obviously, she was ready to fight, without any hesitation or mercy.

Alpha stood there, the lance and knight's sword in his hands seemed particularly heavy. He was in deep conflict: on the one hand, he wanted to win, and on the other hand, he insisted on his own humanity. At this moment, he seemed to be standing at a crossroads, not knowing where to go.

"Lord Alpha, if you want to save people, then let them become your squires." Seeing Alpha's confused look, Gilliana reminded him in a low voice. Her voice was like a breeze, and it seemed particularly gentle in the chaotic battlefield.

"Alpha Knight, our power can't change anything. We can only ensure our survival." Guns has changed a lot about Alpha now. He knows that if Alpha hadn't insisted, Athena would not have been able to save him with her personality. Guns' eyes are full of gratitude and helplessness. He knows that in this world full of power struggles, survival is the most important thing.

"Alpha Knight, don't try to change the rules, or you will become their enemy, unless you have the strength to break the rules." Athena pointed at the knights who had already climbed the city wall and reminded them loudly, fearing that Alpha would prevent other knights from taking credit because of his kindness. Her words were firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

"I know. I will live well." Alpha knew that he could not change anything. He took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the confusion and bewilderment in his heart. He knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only by preserving himself first could he find an opportunity to make real changes in the future.

"Kill!" With a roar, Athena rushed towards the enemy first. Her eyes were full of determination and resolve, as if the whole world was shaking at this moment.

Behind Athena was a group of knights who were equally motivated. They held magic spears and had cold and ruthless eyes. These spears were not just ordinary weapons. They needed bloodthirstiness to absorb the opponent's energy. No fight, no reward. This was their belief.

At this moment, there was no emotion in their eyes, only hatred for the enemy and desire for victory. Killing became their only goal and what they believed to be the eternal truth.

Athena led the warriors to charge into battle. Their figures were like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky and instantly appeared in the enemy camp. As their spears were swung, the enemies fell one after another, and their blood dyed the ground red.

However, this did not stop them. On the contrary, every kill made them more excited and more eager for the next battle. Because they knew that only through continuous killing could they gain more energy and become stronger.

The battlefield was filled with a bloody atmosphere, but this did not make Athena and her team retreat. On the contrary, they attacked the enemy more frantically, as if to vent all their anger and resentment.

Finally, when the last enemy fell, Athena stood in the middle of the city wall, with the enemy's blood dripping from her spear. Her eyes were still cold and ruthless, as if everything just now was just the beginning.

Athena knew that the war was not over yet, and there were more enemies waiting for them to conquer. But she also believed that as long as they persisted, one day they would stand at the top of the world and become truly powerful.

"Alpha Knight, you may think they are innocent, but do you know the significance of the Neutral City?" Athena's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and determination. She hoped that Alpha could quickly improve his strength and help her achieve her goal. Therefore, she had to dispel any doubts in Alpha's heart.

"The purpose of the Neutral City is to coordinate the forces of darkness and light, and to allow these two forces to communicate and understand each other." Athena continued, "However, the current City of Alman has become a hotbed of darkness. The dark races can enter and exit the light world completely freely, committing crimes there, causing the entire world to become chaotic because of their existence. The rise of your enemy, the Pirate Alliance, and the Ottoman Empire are both shadowed by the forces of darkness."

Athena paused for a moment, as if she was organizing her thoughts, and then she said more firmly: "Although our Church of Light is not perfect, at least we are trying to maintain the surface order. Those dark creatures are complete destroyers. They do not care about any rules or moral bottom line. Therefore, in order to protect the world from further harm, the Neutral City must be completely in the hands of humans."

Finally, Athena emphasized her tone, almost warning Alpha: "If you are merciful to the residents of Alman City out of sympathy, then you are doing injustice to the whole world. Please remember this and don't let personal emotions affect the overall situation."

By saying this, Athena successfully reminded Alpha of the seriousness of the current situation and the responsibilities he faced.

At this moment, Alpha's eyes returned to normal, as if the hesitation and confusion just now had never existed. If Alpha was unwilling to take the initiative just because of kindness, now he has completely abandoned this emotional bondage. Alpha, who is standing here now, is a warrior fighting for his beliefs. His goal is clear and firm - to change this crazy and unfair world.

Alpha killed two people in a row with a sharp move, without any hesitation. This was not just a simple killing, but also a challenge and declaration to the old order.

Alpha no longer hesitated, because he knew that in such an uncertain world, only the strong could control their own destiny. Instead of living under the framework set by others, it is better to take that step bravely and create your own future. But the premise of all this is: you must be strong enough, only in this way can you truly have the power to rewrite the rules.

"Lady Athena, the enemies here are too weak to provide enough energy. Is there any way to quickly increase energy?" Alpha was no longer satisfied with these ordinary soldiers. As for the people in the city, Alpha would never take the initiative to hurt them, so he could only look for stronger enemies.

On this battlefield, Alpha has demonstrated unparalleled strength and fighting skills. However, facing these weaker opponents, he feels a little bored and unsatisfied. He knows that only by defeating stronger enemies can he gain more energy and further enhance his abilities.

Therefore, Alpha sought help from Athena, hoping that she could give him some advice or methods to quickly improve his energy. He was eager to fight with stronger opponents to test his strength and constantly break through himself.

At the same time, Alpha is also aware of his responsibilities and mission as a soldier. He will not take the initiative to hurt those innocent people. Even if he cannot protect them, he cannot bear to watch them being slaughtered and can only be a turtle.

"The city gate is open, charge!" With a deafening roar, the gate of the city of Alman was completely pushed down.

This heavy city gate seemed like a solid barrier, blocking the dreams and desires of countless people. However, at this moment, it was finally destroyed, and countless knights swarmed out like an unstoppable torrent.

The knights' faces were filled with the joy of victory. They saw the dawn of hope, as if they had touched the edge of victory. They rushed into the city not only for the symbol of strength, but also for the endless wealth and desire. In their eyes, the city of Alman was no longer an ordinary city, but a place of treasure full of temptation.

However, the knights did not know that they had also become prey in the eyes of the enemy. They were about to experience a brutal street fight. These seemingly unprepared enemies had actually been lying in ambush in the dark corners, waiting for the knights to arrive.

Street fighting is the real battlefield, where there are no wide plains, only narrow streets and intricate buildings. Here, every corner may hide a deadly trap, and every charge may encounter a sudden attack.

Werewolves and vampires have been hiding deep in the city, with a cold light flashing in their eyes. They are the guardians of this city and the most dangerous hunters. They are quietly waiting for the arrival of the knights, ready to start a killing feast between prey and hunter. This battle will be a life-and-death contest, and only the truly strong can survive.

"Lady Athena, I smell the enemy." As the team continued to move forward, Alpha suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

"They are in those dark corners. They are vampires." Alpha's voice was low and firm. He had fought against these evil creatures many times and could clearly identify the breath of vampires from a distance. This keen perception was developed through countless life-and-death battles.

"Okay, let's kill them." Athena responded, her voice full of determination and courage. As the leader of the team, she knew that now was not the time to retreat, and she had to face the challenge and completely eliminate these threats.

Everyone was ready for battle, and the air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. They knew that it would be a fierce battle, but they also believed that as long as they were united, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
