I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 290: Support Arrives, Soldier Kings Swap

The situation on Athena's side has reached the final stage, and both sides are already wounded. In fact, with Athena's identity as a golden knight, she can completely defeat the wolf king. After all, the wolf king's strength is only that of a high-level silver knight, and there is a clear gap compared to Athena's level.

However, the problem is that Alpha and Athena's breakthrough was only a month ago. In this short period of time, they not only had to adapt to the new power, but also had to perform various tasks. They simply did not have the extra time and energy to learn and master the skills of the breakthrough stage. Therefore, although they had reached the peak level of the Silver Knights, they still seemed powerless in actual combat.

In addition, Athena's previous fighting had consumed her energy, which greatly reduced her condition. Therefore, she was suppressed by the Wolf King.

However, thanks to Arthur's longsword, the two sides were able to fight evenly. This legendary holy sword not only enhanced her attack power, but also made up for Athena's lack of physical strength to a certain extent.

But now, both sides are fighting with perseverance, and the cautious wolf king has to ask for help from his people. He tried to turn the situation around by calling for reinforcements, but the reality was extremely cruel. At this time, the fat werewolf was the only elite subordinate of the wolf king left, and the others were either killed in battle or seriously injured, and could not provide effective support at all.

"You're dead!" The wolf king's eyes were red, with a cruel smile on his face. He said viciously: "When my people come, I will share you with them and make you feel like you are in heaven and can't stop. Every eye on your body is an outlet for them to vent their anger. Hahahaha..."

Facing such a crazy enemy, Athena was a little scared, but she did not back down. She knew that only by persisting could there be a chance of a turnaround. So, she tightly grasped Arthur's long sword and prepared for the upcoming decisive battle.

"That's not necessarily true. Your men may have been killed by my knights. Otherwise, how could they not come here until now?" Although Athena knew that this hope was slim, her expression was firm and her fighting spirit was high. She tightly grasped the sword in her hand, and her eyes flashed with an unyielding light, as if to tell the other party that she would not give up easily even in the face of great difficulties.

Both sides panted and waited for reinforcements to arrive, the air was filled with tension and anxiety. Every second seemed particularly long, as if time had frozen at this moment.

The heartbeats of both sides seemed to be audible, and they stared at the distance, expecting the arrival of their own team. However, as time went by, the reinforcements were still not coming, which made the side that was already at a disadvantage even more anxious.

Despite this, no one chose to retreat or run away, because they knew that once they gave up, it would mean complete failure. Therefore, everyone gritted their teeth and held on to the last moment, hoping for a turnaround.

"Boss, here I come!" At this moment, the fat werewolf arrived at the battlefield. Although his footsteps seemed a little heavy, each step was firm and powerful, as if he was announcing his presence to the enemy.

Seeing the fat werewolf coming, the wolf king was in a good mood. He knew that as long as the fat man was there, he would be able to defeat the woman in front of him. After all, the woman was at the end of her strength. The fat man's strength and size always played an amazing role in the battle, which made the wolf king full of confidence in the upcoming victory.

However, just when Athena felt desperate, Alpha helped Strong to rush to the battlefield. Although the two had basically lost their fighting power, their appearance gave Athena the greatest support. Their survival was the greatest encouragement to her.

The arrival of Alpha and Strong rekindled Athena's hope. She knew that as long as she had companions around her, she would not give up easily. The Wolf King and the Fat Werewolf began to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle.

"Fatty, you hold this woman back, I'll go take out those two men." The wolf king seemed to see that the two new men were not very strong, so he decided to start with the weak ones. His voice was deep and full of majesty, as if he had foreseen the fruits of victory.

"Yes, sir." The fat werewolf responded without hesitation. In his eyes, no matter who it was, they were just potential prey and food. Although he was huge, he was extremely agile and quickly stood in front of Alpha, ready to execute the wolf king's order.

However, at this moment, Alpha suddenly put down Strong, who was lying on the ground and almost unconscious, and walked towards the wolf king alone. Alpha's steps were firm and powerful, and there was an unyielding light in his eyes.

"Lord Wolf King, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can tell me the truth." Alpha's voice was clear and calm, breaking the tense atmosphere. Alpha looked directly into the Wolf King's eyes and continued to stare at him without flinching.

"Do I need to tell you?" But the wolf king's answer was a cold rejection.

This sentence is not only a question of the current situation, but also a challenge to the entire situation. Alpha is obviously unwilling to passively accept the arrangement of fate, but hopes to change the status quo through his own wisdom and courage.

"Then let me guess! This time, the Alman City was actually spread by you on purpose, with the purpose of deliberately letting us pass through so that we can kill us on the way and weaken the secrets of the Church." Alpha shouted loudly, while observing the other party's every move. His eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion, trying to catch any possible flaws from the wolf king's expression and movements.

"Hahaha, do you think those bishops and knights of the Church are all idiots? Can't they tell the difference between the real and the fake?" The wolf king mocked loudly, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his voice. He seemed to find Alpha's guess funny, as if he was laughing at his ignorance.

At this moment, Athena and the fat werewolf were already fighting. The fat werewolf's attack and defense were strong, but his flexibility was his weakness. Athena was fine in the short term. Athena's movements were agile and precise. Every attack was aimed at the fat werewolf's weakness. Although the opponent was powerful, she was still able to cleverly avoid it.

"That is, the neutral city can be moved at any time. You are just weakening the power of the Church. It is impossible for us to complete the task." Alpha reminded loudly, his voice revealed a kind of helplessness and anger. He knew that if the power of the Church was weakened, they would face greater danger.

"Stop talking nonsense. It's useless to delay like this." The wolf king seemed to know the other party's plan, but he didn't act immediately. After all, with the recovery speed of a werewolf, is it not as fast as that of a human? He said coldly, with a sly light in his eyes.

"One last question, why didn't you attack the team before us, but instead tried your best to intercept us." Alpha was of course stalling for time. The werewolves recovered quickly, and Alpha's speed was not slow either.

Alpha had checked before and found that there was no large-scale fighting nearby, so the other party had taken the initiative to let the team in front go. His question was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the heart of the wolf king.

But those knights just now overturned Alpha's conjecture. Without a fight, how could those knights fall into the hands of the enemy? Could it be that someone betrayed the Church and deliberately surrendered to the enemy? This thought made Alpha even more uneasy, and he began to doubt whether his teammates were really reliable.

"Let me tell you, the Neutral City really exists, there is no doubt about that. Otherwise, the Holy See would not have sent you here. It is also certain that we intercepted your actions, but we do not intend to detain all of you. As long as you are willing to hand over half of your personnel, I will allow you to leave, just like the previous team." The Wolf King's mouth curled up slightly. Obviously, such an answer shocked the other party and made the knights begin to doubt themselves.

The Wolf King continued, "I know you may think I am lying, but this is the truth. The Neutral City is a mysterious place. It does not belong to any force and is not bound by any rules. Because of this, the Church wants to control it, and we want to protect its freedom and independence. Therefore, we must stop you from advancing."

Faced with such an answer, Alpha didn't know how to respond to the Wolf King's words, "Why did you tell us this? Aren't you afraid that we will report it to the Vatican when we go back?"

In fact, Alpha did not believe the wolf king's nonsense. After all, freedom and independence were only for his own benefit. The existence of the neutral city allowed darkness to freely enter and exit the human world, but humans would be greatly restricted when entering the dark realm. They had lost their original meaning of separating the two sides.

The Wolf King sneered and replied, "Of course I'm not afraid. Because even if you go back and report, the Church will not believe you. They will think that you have been brainwashed or threatened by us. And even if they really believe you, so what? They have already lost so many people, what threat can they pose to us?"

"It's useless to delay, just accept your death!" The wolf king's voice was low and cold, like the biting cold wind in winter. His eyes flashed with a cold light, as if it could penetrate a person's soul. At this moment, the wolf king felt an unprecedented sense of urgency, as if some mysterious power was telling him that he must kill the human in front of him immediately. This intuition had never been so strong that he could not ignore it.

The air was filled with tension, as if even the air had frozen. The wolf king's heartbeat quickened, his muscles tensed, ready to attack at any time. He knew that this human was not an ordinary prey, but a potential threat. He had to act quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Lord Wolf King, I am no match for you. There are four of us. How about I stay here and let the two of them go?" Alpha tried to make a deal to get Athena and Strong to leave. There was a hint of pleading and helplessness in his tone, but he knew the possibility was slim.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You are all trapped in a trap, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" The wolf king laughed arrogantly, mocking the other party's ignorance and fearlessness. His voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if to say: "You stupid humans, you still want to negotiate with me?"

"Then let's do it." Alpha knew that this was impossible. After hearing the affirmative answer, he immediately took out his magic gun and shot.

However, this time Alpha was even more surprised. The speed of the wolf king actually split all the bullets! This speed has exceeded Alpha's limit. At this moment, Alpha knew the gap between them.

The wolf king moved as fast as lightning, and every time he waved his claws, he could easily avoid the attack of bullets. His movements were smooth and graceful, as if he was performing a gorgeous dance. Alpha looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling powerless. He knew that his skills were far inferior to those of the wolf king.

"Foolish human, you will surely die." The wolf king roared, and suddenly burst out with unprecedented strength, and rushed directly towards Alpha without avoiding or blocking. Its eyes were full of anger and contempt, as if it had foreseen the upcoming victory.

Alpha was also ready. He emptied his magazine with three shots in a row and then held his sword tightly to resist the attack of the Wolf King. He knew the importance of this battle, and every move he made was full of his concentration and determination. However, facing such a powerful enemy, he knew that the weapon in his hand alone was far from enough.

Bang, bang, bang! Three crisp sounds echoed in the air, and bullets shot towards the wolf king like lightning, but shockingly, the wolf king's defense was amazing, even the bullets with fighting spirit could not penetrate the opponent's fur, but only increased the wolf king's anger value. Its eyes flashed with a more ferocious light, as if it wanted to destroy everything in front of it.

"Human, die." The wolf king leaped high into the air at an astonishing speed, like a black lightning streaking through the night sky. Its sharp claws drew streaks of cold light in the air, and it rushed towards Alpha with destructive force.

"Come on! Stupid dog." Alpha forgot everything at this moment and put all his strength into the sword. He knew that this was a matter of life and death, and any hesitation could mean failure. He took a deep breath, and threw away all the fear and anxiety in his heart, leaving only firm belief and courage.

With a loud bang, the claws and the long sword collided fiercely, and a violent shock wave exploded instantly, destroying everything around. Dust flew, gravel splashed, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos. Alpha held the long sword tightly in his hand, feeling the huge pressure from the opponent, but he did not retreat, but met the wolf king's gaze more firmly.

"How is this possible? How can you have such a strong power?" The wolf king looked at his chest in disbelief, where a deep tear appeared. He was defeated by this blow.

Even when facing a strong person like Athena, the Wolf King always maintained a polite fighting attitude, but when facing Alpha, he felt unprecedented pressure and powerlessness. This was not just a battle, but more like a one-sided crushing.

"That's because you are too weak. You don't know how powerful I am."
