I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 221 Elderly Visit

Alpha returned exhausted and was greeted by familiar faces, including Darwin, Gunn, Fatam, Tasli, Lilia and Athena, all of whom were old friends of Alpha. Among the newcomers were Gurus, Talen, Jones, Nars, Manny and Fayana. Seeing these familiar faces, Alpha was very excited, but at the same time, he felt a little uneasy because he noticed that Athena looked at him with a strange look.

"Wow, you all are here!" Alpha tried to break the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

Athena's eyes revealed a complex emotion, and Alpha realized that he needed to keep a certain distance from her. Although they had a special relationship and Athena was the most beautiful woman Alpha had ever seen, Alpha was very satisfied with his current life and he didn't want to give up the whole forest for a tree.

"Tarun, Farhana, pack up your things." After Alpha made a brief introduction, he left the arrangement of supplies and personnel to them. After all, these things did not require Alpha to do it personally.

"Okay, we'll go right away." Tarun and Fayana responded in unison.

"Let's go in and talk." Alpha pulled Fattam, but Lilia and Tasli had already moved away. Fattam also wanted to dodge, but unfortunately Alpha's strength was no longer what it used to be.

"Brother-in-law, we are here!" Alpha heard Tony's loud voice before entering the house.

"Linda, Alice, you are here too. Let's go inside and talk." Alpha was a little surprised to see Linda appear. Things might not be that simple.

After entering the house, everyone found a comfortable place to sit around the warm stove. At this time, Alpha took a deep breath and began to tell about his legendary experience in the Beth Mountains.

Alpha described in detail how he fought wits and courage with the bandits and eliminated them step by step. In the process, Alpha not only had to face the harsh natural environment, but also had to deal with the cunning and cruelty of the bandits. However, Alpha successfully defeated them with his courage, wisdom and firm belief, and restored the tranquility of the Beth Mountains.

Alpha also talked about his efforts in establishing order. He organized the local residents and worked with them to develop a series of rules and systems, which put life in the entire area back on track. At the same time, he also faced many difficulties and challenges, such as a shortage of funds and personnel. However, he was not defeated by these difficulties, but tried every means to overcome them.

Everyone listened with great interest, exclaimed from time to time, and expressed admiration for Alpha's bravery and wisdom. They were also angry at the bandits' cruel behavior and said that if they encountered such a situation, they would stand up like Alpha.

After listening to Alpha's story, everyone started a heated discussion. They put forward their own suggestions and ideas, providing more ideas and possibilities for Alpha's plan. The atmosphere in the whole house was warm and people's emotions were mobilized.

Through this exchange, Alpha not only received support and encouragement from everyone, but also received many valuable suggestions. Alpha knows that to achieve his goal, more efforts and contributions are needed. At this moment, he has strengthened his belief that as long as everyone unites as one, they will be able to overcome any difficulties and create a better future.

"But Tony, why are you here?" Alpha turned around and looked at Linda and the other two, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He thought to himself, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Is there something important? Otherwise, why would they come here suddenly?

"Brother-in-law, of course my sister misses you." Tony's answer made Linda's face flush instantly. She glared at Tony shyly, signaling him not to talk nonsense. However, this little episode made the atmosphere at the scene relaxed and happy, and everyone laughed knowingly.

Seeing this, Alice hurriedly explained: "Some special situations have occurred in the family area, and we wanted to come here to change our mood and take a vacation. What, are you not welcome, Lord Alpha?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Alice's tone, as if testing Alpha's reaction.

Alpha knew that the matter was not simple. But he did not want to ask about it at this time, so he smiled warmly and said, "Welcome, welcome, of course a warm welcome." He thought that it would not be too late to ask about it when the time was right.

Linda smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of mixed emotions, "Everything is fine, but we did encounter some minor troubles recently. But I believe that with your support, Lord Alpha, we will be able to overcome these difficulties."

Hearing this, Alpha nodded. He decided not to ask any more questions for the time being. After all, everyone was on vacation, so there was no need to make the atmosphere too tense. However, he secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to learn more about the situation and see what he could do for them.

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's enjoy this vacation!" Alpha cleverly changed the topic, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed and cheerful.

In the lively atmosphere, everyone nodded in agreement, and the originally somewhat restrained atmosphere gradually became lively. They began to discuss the next plan enthusiastically, covering various aspects such as the choice of travel destinations and the exploration of food. Although everyone had some troubles in their hearts, at this moment, they all chose to put them aside and devote themselves to this rare time together.

At this moment, Alpha's gaze passed through the crowd and turned to Tasli. He asked with concern: "Tasli, how is the situation over there? Is everything going well?" He knew very well that the area where Tasli was might be facing many challenges. He hoped to provide her with necessary assistance by learning more about the situation.

Tasli's answer made Alpha frown slightly. She said, "Lord Alpha, the situation in Balor has become very complicated now. Queen Florina's attitude towards us is unpredictable. She has neither expressed clear support nor opposition. At the same time, several other families are gathering troops towards Balor. It seems that something major is about to happen." Such an explanation made Alpha fall into deep thought.

The relationship between Alpha and Flinna was extraordinary. Although they had close contact, it was only based on cooperation. In addition, since he had been away for a long time, Flinna might really look for other ways out.

"Well, I understand. I will seriously consider the countermeasures." Alpha responded in a low voice. His mind began to work rapidly, and he did not even notice that the people around him left one after another. He knew that he had to come up with a comprehensive plan to deal with the current situation.

Tasri's report weighed heavily on Alpha's heart. He realized that the turmoil in Balor was not just a simple fight between families, but had deeper roots. Queen Flinna's confusing attitude made the situation even more uncertain.

"Tasli, which side do you think Queen Flinna will lean towards?" Alpha asked. He urgently needed more information to make an accurate judgment.

After careful consideration, Tasri replied, "It's hard to say. Queen Flinna is well-known for her superb political skills. She can always maintain a balance between various forces with ease. However, her recent closeness to some emerging forces has caused dissatisfaction among many old families."

"Emerging forces?" Alpha frowned. This was the first time he heard of this.

"Yes, some new forces that are not affiliated with traditional families are rising. They have abundant resources and strong influence, bringing unprecedented challenges to the traditional power structure. They even have a powerful army of modified humans and are gradually changing the situation on the continent." Tasli explained in detail.

Alpha rubbed his temples. The situation was far more complicated than he had imagined. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about various possible situations and countermeasures in his mind.

"We must adjust our strategy and not wait passively." Alpha stopped and looked determined. "Fayana, record this. Order Rowling Munai to abandon his station in Balor and the independent ownership of the Balor iron ore and coal mines. Unite with the Montgomery and Thames families to form a mining alliance and further strengthen ties with other families, especially those that are friendly to us." Alpha knew that it was difficult to cope with the current situation on its own and that it was necessary to unite all the forces that could be united.

Originally, Alpha was going to move the Tech Alliance to his side, but considering the unpredictable situation, he decided to temporarily put it aside and deal with it later.

"Understood. I'll take care of it immediately." Tasli nodded seriously. She was well aware of the urgency of the situation.

"At the same time, I will try to communicate directly with Flyna and find out her true thoughts." Alpha decisively decided to do it himself. After all, there was still a trace of old feelings between him and Flyna, and it might produce unexpected results. Of course, this was just Alpha's wishful thinking, Flyna was not a person who acted on emotion.

"In addition, we must be fully prepared to deal with possible emergencies." Alpha's voice revealed obvious seriousness, "Notify the family's defense team to strengthen vigilance. I will allocate some resources back to strengthen our defense capabilities."

Farana was concentrating on recording every instruction from Alpha, and Tasli was also recording carefully beside her. She knew that every step to come was of great importance and could not afford any negligence.

"Finally, make sure to maintain close contact with the surrounding areas and report any situation to me in a timely manner." Alpha's eyes swept across Tasli sharply, as if they could penetrate her heart.

"Yes, Master Alpha," Tasri responded respectfully before quickly leaving the room and devoting herself to carrying out Alpha's orders.

Alpha was left alone in the conference room, and he was clearly aware that he was facing a major test that would affect the future of his family. Every decision could have far-reaching consequences, and he had to act cautiously and decisively.

"Lord Alpha, Miss Liv requests to see you." Farana reported in the tone of a professional secretary.

"Please let her in." Alpha knew that Liv's arrival must be to report something important.

"Liv, has something happened in Cross City?" Alpha leaned on the sofa, thinking thoughtfully about what might have happened.

"Lord Alpha, the Cross Freedom Alliance is preparing to give up its material support to us and even revoke our qualification as a free alliance." Liv told Alpha about the situation angrily.

"Calm down first, Liv." Alpha hugged Liv gently and comforted her softly.

"Did something happen over there at Cross's place that caused them to stop paying attention to the bandit problem in the Beth Mountains?" Alpha knew very well that the other party must have had some support for giving up so decisively.

"On the one hand, every time the bandits in the Beth Mountains are cleared out, there can be a ten-year period of peace, so our role may not be that great." Alpha analyzed calmly.

"On the other hand, they seem to know about the mineral resources we discovered in the mountains and want to get a piece of the pie." Liv went on to say that the information she had heard showed that things were far from that simple.

"Also, a new force has recently emerged in the city of Cross. They can easily form a powerful knight order, and the Free Alliance seems to be more inclined to this new force." This is important information that Liv has obtained. It seems that a mysterious force is rising strongly.
