I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 172 Transfer

"Captain Apollo, I don't come here for no reason. How come you have time to come here?" Although Alpha helped Altai capture Rimuru, he got a lot of benefits from it. Altai regarded it as an employment relationship. Now Altai has a strong army and sufficient food and grass, which makes him feel invincible.

"Lord Altai, we agreed at the beginning that I would help you open the city gate and we would go to the warehouse for an hour to move the goods. Why did you only give us half an hour in the end?" Although some things were useless to say, Alpha still expressed his dissatisfaction.

"You have been moving the supplies for more than an hour." Barbara was now inflated and didn't care about Alpha's attitude at all.

"Our entire mercenary group has been fighting with you. I never thought you would treat me like this. It's really heartbreaking!" Alpha pretended to be disappointed and dissatisfied.

"Captain Apollo, I know you are not someone who cares that much about these things. Tell me your purpose!" Altai knew that Alpha would not argue over such trivial matters.

"I don't care, but my subordinates do. We have to give them some compensation." Alpha pretended to be indifferent to let the other party know that he didn't get much and would not be envious.

"Ten carts of food, no more." Altai could not ignore the attitude of his subordinates.

"Mr. Altai, don't be so stingy. Fifty carts is the lowest." In the end, the two men settled the matter with thirty carts of food.

"I came here this time to ask Mr. Altai if you have thought it through. Do you want to make an enemy of the whole world, or do you want to find a way out for the people, a real way out." Alpha would not come just for the food. Although the supplies received last night have not been counted yet, the quantity is definitely sufficient.

"We don't have a definite answer to this question yet. Once I have thought it through, I will tell Captain Apollo." Altai, who has a strong army, doesn't want to think about this problem now.

"Mr. Altai, now is your most powerful time and you have the most chips in your hands. If you haven't thought it through, don't easily offend those who may become your allies." Alpha could only say so much, and saying more might cause dissatisfaction on the other side.

"However, Captain Apollo, your mercenary group participated in last night's operation. I'm afraid those nobles will no longer consider you as a friend! If you want to join us, you are always welcome." Altai admired Alpha's mercenary combat capabilities very much.

"No, we have our own plans." Alpha has already started to move supplies. He knows clearly that Locke Town is just a temporary stopover for them and cannot be used as a base.

After Captain Apollo left, Altai also fell into deep thought. After capturing Rimuru, he realized that everyone's mentality had changed, and he needed to respond.

During this time, Altai deeply reflected on his actions and choices. He began to wonder whether he should choose to be an enemy of the whole world or seek a real way out for the people. He realized that his actions and choices would have a profound impact on the future of the city.

After capturing Rimuru, Altai began to vigorously promote land reform and deal with various affairs, and the people of Rimuru ushered in a brief moment of glory. These people began to seek pleasure, after all, everything came too easily. Altai realized that although he was in power, he still faced many challenges. Under his leadership, the people did usher in a period of glory, but there were complex contradictions and differences between them, and these problems needed to be solved by Altai.

Altai began to implement reforms that emphasized treating everyone equally, regardless of status and wealth. He also took measures to ease the burden of life for the people, such as reducing taxes and providing public welfare. These reforms were supported and praised by many people, but also caused dissatisfaction and opposition from some people.

Altai began to think about how to make the city of Rimuru better. He promoted the development of scientific research projects to improve the city's scientific and technological level. He also proposed a new economic development plan to promote the city's economic prosperity. Altai's reforms received support and help from many people, including some influential people and organizations. They worked with Altai to promote a series of reforms and developments to make the city more prosperous, harmonious and beautiful.

But some people would not allow Altai to do so. A week later, the first batch of 1,000 knights of the noble legion arrived. Although the enemy did not attack the city, they were clearing out the surrounding civilians. These knights did not care about the lives of the civilians at all, and burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, which was more terrifying than robbers and bandits.

When Altai learned of the arrival of the noble army, he was filled with anger and worry. He knew that these noble knights would not give up and would make things difficult for the people and oppress them. Therefore, Altai immediately deployed his troops and prepared to fight a desperate battle with the noble knights.

However, Altai also knew that he could not resist the threat of noble knights by himself, so he began to think about how to rally the people and recruit more volunteers to join the revolutionary army to strengthen his own strength.

Altai knew that in order to win, he had to unite with the leaders of other cities to seek more support and assistance. To this end, he actively contacted the leaders of other cities, hoping that they could unite to fight against the threat of noble knights and seek greater happiness and prosperity for the people.

As the war continued, more and more noble knights joined the war, making Altai unable to cope with it. The long-lasting battle also severely damaged the revolutionary army. Many people began to question Altai's leadership ability. Everything made Altai physically and mentally exhausted.

However, Altai did not give up. He knew the cruelty and difficulty of the war, but he also knew that only by fighting hard could he win a future for the people. In the following month, Altai still stayed on the battlefield and led the revolutionary army forward bravely.

"Sir Apollo, aren't we living and working peacefully in Locke Town? Why should we leave? And we have to persuade those residents to evacuate." Burt was completely confused.

The day after the supplies were transported back, Alpha ordered everyone to set off and prepare to head for the Tagura Mountain Pass north of Rimuru.

"Captain Tasli, please explain it to everyone." Alpha was too lazy to explain and handed the task to Tasli, the future front-line commander of Rimuru.

"Please look at the map." Tasli unfolded the map, and the area of ​​fifty miles was re-marked very accurately by her.

"This is Rimuru. In the next few months, I believe that all the nobles will pay close attention to the movements here. Noble knights will arrive one after another. Although these people are knights, they are actually bandits. They do not distinguish between enemies and friends. Anyone who blocks their way is their enemy and will be purged. And the town of Locke is right on the Rimuru front line and will be the first to be hit. This is why we have to leave." Tasli knew clearly why Alpha left.

"As for why we chose the Tagula Mountain Pass instead of other places?" Alpha asked.

"Sir Apollo, Rimuru is an important town in the north of Fatalia, and its north gate is Potos. Although we don't have to worry about Potos' attack, we cannot help but defend against it. Only the Tagura Pass has complex terrain, and we can defend against attacks from one side. If we can't hold it, we can retreat into the mountains at any time and use the terrain barrier to fight the enemy." Of course, another reason is that Tagura Mountain is now in Alpha's hands, so he can have no worries.

"Captain Apollo, what about the people nearby?" Burt now understood Alpha's good intentions, but he also became worried about the people around him.

Most of the people in Locke Town chose to follow Alpha, except for some young and stubborn people, because of the benevolent policies implemented by Alpha. Not only do adults and children have jobs, but strong young people who obey the management will also be paid, so that this winter is not cold.

Of course, Alpha also went to other towns to recruit workers and persuade people, but the effect was not ideal. Burt noticed that only about one in ten or twelve people migrated.

In this regard, Alpha could only ask her to be careful and to be ready to rescue her at any time if she encountered any danger. After all, Alpha's mind was now focused on migration.

"Your Highness Hillier, Butler Guromas, will you go back to the south with us or stay here?" Alpha was preparing to take Liv to divide the family property and deal with Cross's affairs at the same time. This side would be temporarily handed over to Tasli, and the war would not break out immediately.

"Captain Apollo, can you urge Mr. Altai to make up his mind sooner? I'm worried that things will change over time." Hillier was mainly waiting for Altai's revolutionary army to make the choice of a united front.

"Your Highness Hillier, we can't act rashly now. The revolutionary army is strong and powerful now, and they will never give up power, so don't contact them in the short term." Alpha would not be treated well if he went there now. If he was not still useful, the other party would simply ignore him. Instead of trying to please them, it would be better to wait for them to come to him.

"Captain Apollo, what if the revolutionary army can't hold on and fails?" Now, Hillier was afraid that the revolutionary army would not be able to hold on at all.

"Altai is a smart man. He will not watch his career fail. At the critical moment, he will put everything aside." In fact, Alpha was just thinking like a normal person. If Altai was not a normal person, all speculations would be overturned. But at this moment, Alpha was very calm, as if he had already expected it.

"Okay! Then I choose to stay. Now the empire's eyes and ears are all in Rimuru. It will be useless for us to go back to the imperial capital?" Hillier is only the third prince. He has an older brother, a younger brother, and two older sisters. If he stays in the imperial capital, even if there is a chance of restoration, it will not be his turn.

"Okay, I will go back to the imperial capital once. Do you need me to bring anything back?" Alpha needed to go to the imperial capital to deal with the issue of the Black-Armored Dragon Riders. The Dragon Riders were very powerful, so it would be a waste to not use them.

"Not yet. Do you think we need to tell others that we are here?" Hillier also had his own plans. If Rimuru could not hold the line, he could go back and be his third prince.

"However, if His Highness Hillier really wants to achieve something, he can try to contact some people who support the royal family, even if they just want to come and watch the fun. After all, there is strength in numbers."

"Okay, I'll get in touch, Captain Apollo."
