I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 265 Rescue of the Imperial Capital

"Governor Alpha, the main purpose of my trip this time is to seek reinforcements to rescue Berlin, for the people, and for the future of the empire." Williams looked sincere, and did not seem to understand Alpha's implication.

"No, Prince William, you don't understand what I mean. Anyone can ask for help, however, at this critical moment of life and death, as a prince of the empire, your departure may be regarded as desertion. Once a problem occurs, you will bear huge responsibility; and if the empire successfully resolves the crisis, you may not get much credit." Alpha frowned, and he looked straight at Argunas, hoping that he could understand the seriousness of the matter.

"Williams is my nephew. I promised my sister to protect him. I can't just watch him get into danger. For his safety, we must do our best to dissuade him." Yagunas explained quickly. After all, when it comes to family ties, safety is the most important thing.

"But if I tell you that the mutants who were besieging Berlin have lost their reinforcements, and that five thousand mutants have just withdrawn from Berlin, would you still think the crisis in Berlin is so serious?" Alpha felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.

"If I tell you that the mutants who were besieging Berlin have no reinforcements, and that another 5,000 mutants have just evacuated from Berlin, would you still think that the Berlin crisis is just a trivial matter?" Alpha thought to himself. He felt that this matter was not simple.

"Lord Alpha, is everything you said true?" At this time, Yagunas also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I just received news that the number of mutants besieging Berlin has increased by ten thousand." Yagunas reluctantly stated the real reason why he did not stop it. He also knew that he had misunderstood the slander.

"This is probably a conspiracy of other princes. They don't want Your Highness to stay in Berlin and don't want Your Highness to share the credit with them." Alpha did not pursue the matter. After all, William had already been released, and it was too late to pursue everything now.

"Now that we're out, let's break this cage from the outside." Alpha won't complain about the current problem, what he has to do is solve the problem.

"Lord Alpha, should we prepare to rescue Berlin?" Williams was still thinking about it.

"No, I won't rescue Berlin." Alpha knew very well that with Berlin's current situation, it was fully capable of saving itself. They were just afraid of losses and wanted Alpha to confront the enemy head-on in order to consume Alpha's strength.

"Your Highness, we don't need to rescue Berlin. Berlin is now capable of saving itself. We can step out of the battle and observe. At the same time, we can liberate Munich, Pilsen and Frankfurt in the name of Your Highness." Alpha did not intend to occupy these places. He decided to give the credit to Your Highness.

"Governor Alpha, have you taken Frankfurt?" Williams was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. Even for mutants, it took half a year to take Frankfurt, but Alpha did it in such a short time.

"Not yet." Of course, Alfa is just promoting it to the outside world. As for whether it can actually take over Frankfurt, that is another matter.

At this critical moment, Prince William resolutely dispatched 100,000 elite soldiers to rush to Berlin. Alpha's generosity amazed everyone, and the powerful force of 100,000 soldiers was impressive.

"Governor Alpha, you actually brought 100,000 knights?" Williams' surprise was beyond words.

"No, I only brought three thousand, and there are less than one thousand left here." Alpha was worried that the other party would exhaust his limited resources, so he deliberately said less.

"But I now have 100,000 soldiers." Alpha looked at the ordinary soldiers outside the city and planned to use these soldiers to make up the numbers.

"Those people are just a bunch of rabble, how can they go into battle and kill the enemy?" William knew very well that these ordinary knights were not strong enough.

"With me here, they can play a role. Now we deploy like this. Prince Williams will go with me to rescue Berlin, and Yagunas will gather the knights in the German Empire, attack Frankfurt, and restore order in the country." Alpha made arrangements in an orderly manner.

William and Argunas looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and finally reached a consensus and decided to split their forces.

After the meeting, Alpha thought to himself. Although the third prince may seem insignificant, perhaps it is the potential hidden under his ordinary appearance that is most worth looking forward to. The next series of tests will determine whether this low-key third prince can break out of his cocoon and become a true king.

Ferrod, are you going to go north with me, or go south? "After the meeting, Alpha found Captain Ferrod and told him solemnly. Alpha's tone was calm, but his eyes revealed a firmness.

"Lord Alpha, what do you mean? Of course I will follow your steps." Ferold instantly understood Alpha's intention.

"You should know that there is no turning back if we stay. I will lead 30,000 elite troops to stay, and the rest of you can choose freely. Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are not willing can follow us to Oli State." Alpha knew very well that once things settled down, those people would never let them leave easily, and this was their only chance.

"Lord Alpha, the empire will treat you well, you don't have to worry." Ferold looked at Alpha, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation as he dared not continue to persuade him.

"In the Battle of Berlin, they were clearly capable of escaping. What do you think they were waiting for?" Alpha stopped talking. He had his own difficulties in his heart. He knew that as long as he lost his usefulness, the Church would ruthlessly take action. All this was due to his own talkativeness, but he did not resent others.

"You should leave quickly! If you stay in the north, your life will be in danger." As an old man who followed Alpha, Ferold was not wanted by Alpha to get involved in the chaos in Germany. After the crisis, a large number of people would be purged, and he did not want to see Ferold become one of them.

"Monkey, convey my military order. Tasli and Mark must assist Agunus in capturing Agunus. If the casualties exceed 10%, the mission will be considered a failure. After successfully capturing Frankfurt, immediately return to Munich and reunite with me." Alpha has decided not to get involved in this mess in Germany, but he cannot get away.

At this critical moment, Ferod resolutely expressed his loyalty: "Lord Alpha, I will always follow in your footsteps. At the same time, I firmly believe that the Third Prince will not make things difficult for all of us." Although Ferod had made his decision, deep down in his heart he was still willing to believe in the future of the empire.

Alpha knew very well that giving up territory was not that easy, and he questioned: "Do you think Prince William can easily swallow up the land we give up?" In fact, it was questionable whether Williams could hold any city.

"Let's go, speed up the evacuation. If we can't evacuate 50,000 people this time, I will hold you responsible." Alpha has made up his mind. Since he has chosen to support William, he will never regret it. Even if William is lacking in ability, as long as he still cares about the people and remains sincere, Alpha will not change his position.

After all, Alpha didn't need the support of the princes, nor did he ask for anything from the Church. All he needed was time. As long as he was given enough time, Alpha firmly believed that he could grow up.

After sending Ferold away, Alpha met with Darlo and entrusted him with an important task, ordering him to form an imperial knight group with 30,000 men. Darlo, as a die-hard German, hoped that all the knights in Pilsen could go to the front. However, Alpha's plan was not like that. He planned to form a light cavalry team without any protective equipment, and each person was equipped with three war horses. But Pilsen did not have enough war horses.

Surprisingly, Darlo was so capable that he managed to recruit 30,000 knights in just three days. At this time, he had lost his previous respect for Alpha.

"Alpha, we are the most powerful knights of the empire. We should not be afraid of any enemy. We must fight the enemy with the strongest attitude." Darlo's confidence was evident in his words.

Darlo's ability is indeed not to be underestimated. He successfully recruited 30,000 knights in just three days. Now, when he faces Alpha, he no longer has the respect he used to have.

"Only by defeating the enemy can you become a true hero; otherwise, you are just a sacrificed martyr." Alpha didn't want to waste words with Darlo. Alpha didn't have too many thoughts about this battle. He just wanted to use it to accumulate some qualifications.

"Alpha, we must be prepared. We need more supplies." Darlo didn't want to dwell on the issue of winning or losing. At this moment, he was extremely conceited and even planned to disobey Alpha's orders.

"If you can find the equipment, it's up to you. But I have to remind you that His Highness has ordered that we must set out at noon. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy." Alpha found that he could not suppress Darlo, so he had to take out William to scare him, then turned around and left without looking back.

"Lord Alpha, this man is too arrogant, he is simply a villain who has succeeded! If I were in Lust, I would definitely crush him without hesitation!" The monkey was very disgusted with the other party's behavior and couldn't help but complain immediately.

"Don't worry, monkey." Alpha said calmly, "If they are willing to obey my command, I am sure I can save their lives; but if they insist on seeking death, then I can't do anything." Alpha knew very well that Darlo's Knights were not a truly elite force. His original plan was to build a legion that was good at escaping.

The tactics of this legion can be summarized as: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is tired, we follow. In short, avoid direct confrontations, as once a battle begins, the shortcomings of strength will be exposed. However, some people obviously want to be heroes.
