I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 283 Special Mission, Border City

"Lady Athena, why are you here?" Alpha had just laid down and hadn't had time to relax completely when the door suddenly opened. His heart tightened and he immediately stood up and took a defensive posture. However, when he saw who was coming, he quickly let down his guard.

Athena walked into the room and glanced at Alpha's disheveled appearance, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She didn't say much nonsense, and after leaving a word, she turned around and prepared to leave: "I'll give you an hour, pack up your things and follow us."

Alpha didn't dare to disobey Athena's idea, because he knew that she was not only a high-ranking knight of the Church, but also a powerful being. He could only helplessly shout to Fanxing who was hiding in the bed: "Fanxing, quickly get someone to bring me weapons and equipment."

Alpha knew very well that he had just broken through the bottleneck and entered the ranks of bronze knights, while Athena had at least reached the level of gold knights. He secretly groaned in his heart, even if there were a hundred of himself, he would definitely not be her opponent.

What's more, Athena brought two discipline knights with her. Although Alpha didn't know their specific strength, he knew that it was definitely not something he could handle. In this case, he had no choice but to obey orders.

As Alpha put on his equipment, he fell into deep thought. He wondered why Athena would find him at this moment, and why she would bring other knights with her. This meant that this matter was not a private matter, but was probably related to the Church.

In fact, Alpha was unwilling to participate in the actions of the Church. However, under the roof of the Church, he had to bow his head. In desperation, he could only put on Arthur's holy sword and black armor.

"Fanxing, change me a set of white, silver or gold armor." Alpha knew very well that since it was a mission from the Church, he had to use the weapons and equipment prescribed by the Church. After all, black was often seen as a symbol of evil, and at this critical moment, he couldn't make a mistake.

After Alpha put on the equipment prescribed by the Church, he felt as if he had become a stranger. He was used to black armor, which made him feel powerful and mysterious. But now, these silver equipment made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if he had lost part of his personality and seemed to be completely under the spotlight.

Alpha couldn't help but think of his former self, the free and unrestrained warrior. He had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and won countless honors and respects with his strength and courage. But now, he had to succumb to the regulations of the Church and give up his own preferences and style.

However, he also understood that the power of the Church was enormous, and they possessed a lot of mysterious knowledge and powerful forces. If he wanted to survive in this world and achieve his goals, he had to cooperate with the Church. Although he did not agree with some of the Church's practices, he knew that this was the path he had to take.

So, Alpha took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. He told himself that this was just a mission, a mission he had to complete. He would do his best to complete the mission assigned to him by the Church, and the most important thing was that he had to survive.

"Listen carefully, this mission is extremely dangerous. Once you start, you must not quit halfway. The three of you will serve as my escort knights and enter the dark world together." Athena introduced the mission with a serious expression, but did not mention the specific content of the mission.

"The strength of the three of you is respectively Guns, a junior silver knight, Strong, a senior bronze knight, and Alpha, a mid-level bronze knight. Each of you can lead a team of ten escort knights to carry out missions, but these escort knights must be the discipline knights of the Holy See, and they must awaken at least one level of discipline." Athena continued to introduce the mission requirements, but deliberately did not mention the content of the mission.

Of course, Athena also exaggerated Alpha's strength. After all, Alpha had just broken through and was only at the beginner level of bronze at most. Moreover, he had basically not learned any fighting skills at this level, so it was difficult for him to display his full strength.

"Do you have any questions?" Athena spoke forcefully before allowing the three to speak.

"Lady Athena, what exactly is our mission?" Guns, the strongest one, asked curiously. After he was recruited by the Vatican to join Athena's small group, he knew nothing about everything, and of course it was impossible for him to refuse.

"I cannot tell you the specific mission content at the moment. I cannot reveal any relevant information before entering the target location. I can only tell you that our mission is related to dark creatures." Athena's answer seemed to explain some of the problems, but it did not seem to provide much substantive content. After all, the existence of the Church itself is to fight against dark creatures.

"Lady Athena, can I not participate in this mission?" Alpha seemed to realize that this mission was not easy, and as a time traveler, he did not have much awe for the Holy See, so he tried not to participate if he could.

"No, once you participate, you can't quit. Now the mission has begun." Athena's attitude was very tough, and Alpha didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"I'll give you half an hour to recruit as many escort knights as possible," Athena said calmly. However, she knew in her heart that it was futile.

This is Alpha's technological city, how could there be the Discipline Knights of the Church? At this time, Alpha only had two escort knights, Fattam and Tasli. Tasli needed to lead the troops to protect the safety of the surroundings, and Fattam had not yet awakened the power of Discipline.

Alpha wanted to talk to Athena alone, but the damned Gunns followed him around like a shadow, not giving Alpha any chance. His behavior was more like surveillance than a guard knight, and Athena could tell from her eyes that it was not appropriate to have a private conversation now.

When Alpha stepped out of the conference room, many fully armed people had gathered outside. They looked determined and were ready to go through fire and water for Alpha at his command.

"Fayana, Tasli, Fattam, Monkey, Quinte, Darwin, Tony, Alice, come here, everyone else can go away." Alpha's voice was low, as if he was giving the final instructions.

After all, Alpha himself didn't know when he would be able to return. There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he was ready to face everything.

In the tense atmosphere, time was extremely tight for Alpha. Athena did not give him much time to prepare, so Alpha could only set out on the journey with everyone's deep blessings, 100 rounds of special bullets and two pistols.

However, when choosing a warhorse, Alpha unexpectedly chose the teacher's warhorse, Jiying. Although his own Chasing Wind was faster, Alpha did not choose it. This is because Jiying has better endurance and can adapt to various complex environments, just like a veteran who has experienced countless hardships, which makes people feel at ease.

Athena's arrival was like a storm. In less than two hours, she left with Alpha. Finally, Alpha followed Athena reluctantly and disappeared into the darkness. Their figures disappeared quickly, as if swallowed by the night.

During this brief separation, Alpha's heart was full of contradictions. He didn't know how many difficulties and obstacles there would be on the road ahead, but he knew that he had to go on firmly. He carried everyone's expectations and a mission, and threw himself into the unknown adventure without hesitation.

The sound of Jiying's horse's hooves echoed in the darkness, as if it was a hymn to Alpha's courage. He and Athena walked side by side, and their tacit understanding allowed them to find a ray of light in the darkness. Their backs gradually went away, leaving behind everyone's blessings and concerns for them.

"Lord Alpha, where are we going?" Bronze Knight Strong looked at Athena who had no intention of stopping and couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted.

"We are heading to Alman, where all the knights participating in the mission will gather." Athena's tone this time was slightly softer than before.

"Lady Athena, the Alman you mentioned, could it be the legendary city at the entrance to the dark world? Our Holy See actually found it?" The Silver Knight Guns was so excited that he shouted out passionately.

"Yes, we have discovered the city of Alman. Next, the Knights of Discipline will gather in Alman to discuss the next action plan together." Athena was also full of curiosity about this legendary city.

This mysterious legendary city is like a shining pearl, inlaid at the junction of darkness and light. It is said that it is the common home of both light and dark creatures. Such an incredible scene, like a dreamlike world, is amazing.

However, what is even more surprising is that light and darkness, two seemingly opposing creatures, can coexist harmoniously in this city and no conflict has ever occurred.

This wonderful phenomenon seems to have cast a veil of mystery over the city, filling people with endless imagination and speculation about its existence.

Perhaps, in some corner of this city, there is some unknown power or secret hidden, like a sleeping giant, waiting to be awakened by brave explorers.

Perhaps, this city contains a unique magic that allows light and darkness to blend together and create a unique harmonious atmosphere.

Or perhaps, deep in the city, there is a wise guardian who silently guards the peace and tranquility of the city. It is also possible that there are some mysterious treasures or knowledge hidden here, and only by finding them can the mystery of this city be unveiled.

In any case, this mysterious legendary city attracts countless adventurers and curious people. They set foot on this unknown land with dreams and courage, eager to explore the mysteries. Everyone who comes here brings their own stories and expectations, hoping to find answers in this city and solve the mysteries in their hearts.

The mystery of this city lies not only in the secrets it hides, but also in the infinite reverie it gives to people. It is a place full of miracles and possibilities, inspiring people's creativity and desire for exploration.

Hearing Athena's affirmation, Gunns and Strong's faces instantly showed an unconcealable excitement. Their eyes flickered with hope, as if they saw the dawn of the Church's resurgence and reaching the top again. After all, finding this legendary border city means opening the entrance to the dark world. This will be a historic breakthrough, enough to give the entire Church a new lease of life.

However, in stark contrast to them, Alpha's face showed deep doubts. He did not have much impression of this border city called Alman, but he knew one thing: if the Holy See really discovered such a city but did not launch a holy war with great fanfare, then there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

Alpha's mind quickly flashed through various possible explanations. He guessed that perhaps the strength of the Church had seriously declined over the years and could not meet the conditions for launching a holy war; or perhaps, entering the city of Alman required meeting certain special conditions, such as at least requiring a strong person like the Discipline Knight to enter.

What worried him even more was that the strongest of the Discipline Knights, the Discipline Paladin, was destroyed by a conspiracy. This made him wonder if the Church had other hidden powers that had not been used?

Thinking of this, Alpha's mood became heavier. He was worried that he and his companions might become cannon fodder in this unknown battle, and be sent to the front line to perform almost impossible tasks. Although he was full of uneasiness, he also understood that at this moment, only by staying calm could he better cope with the upcoming challenges.

Under the cover of night, the four figures struggled forward. After a whole night of rapid trekking, they finally encountered another knight team in the dawn. However, in comparison, the number of the other side reached an astonishing one hundred, forming a sharp contrast with Athena's four-man team. It was a world of difference.

"Oh, isn't this our talented Athena Golden Knight? Why are there only so few pitiful guard knights? Do you need me to add a few more for you?" The leader laughed loudly, his tone full of undisguised sarcasm.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and even the Holy See is no exception.

Athena is the most gifted knight in the Church in the past thirty years. She was promoted to Bronze Knight at the age of sixteen, and broke through to Silver Knight at the age of twenty. Now at the age of twenty-four, she has successfully broken through to the realm of Gold Knight.

Athena is considered to be the one with the greatest hope of breaking through to the Diamond Knight before the age of 28. In this way, she will break the Vatican's record of the fastest advancement in a hundred years, and will be forever recorded in the history of the Vatican.

Such glory naturally aroused the jealousy of many people. The golden knight Odyssey in front of him was obviously not a novice like Athena who had just broken through. From the number of knights guarding him, it can be seen that he is an experienced and veteran golden knight.

"Odyssey Knights, we are all knights of the Holy See. Our primary mission is to eradicate darkness. There should not be any internal conflicts."
