I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 441 Lost, Alone 1

"Lord Alpha, what should we do now?" In the dark corner, the monkey asked with a worried look on his face.

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, we should seize the time to recover our strength now!" Alpha was able to move slowly with the help of Evelyn. The energy he had just killed and absorbed from the enemy was almost consumed in the recovery of himself, and Alpha felt extremely weak at this moment.

"Master Alpha, this is your knife!" The monkey handed the dagger back to Alpha.

"You need it more than I do, so keep it." Alpha knew that the magic sword could absorb the enemy's energy, but he was better at using long weapons, and short weapons were not suitable for him.

"Leave it, your attack method is more suitable for assassination." Whether from an emotional or rational point of view, Alpha decided to give the magic knife to the monkey.

"Master Alpha, I have an idea." The monkey seemed to have made up his mind.

"Shh." At this time, Evelyn whispered in Alpha's ear, reminding him that there were enemy patrols approaching.

The four of them quickly hid in the corner, not daring to make any sound. Although they successfully destroyed the enemy's teleportation array, there were a large number of werewolves entering the underground world, tens of thousands of them, and it was not easy to eliminate these enemies in a short period of time.

"There's a cave ahead. Let's go over there and take a rest." Mashu was now serving as the captain of the reconnaissance team, responsible for exploring the way ahead.

Everyone had no choice but to curl up in the cave and quietly recover their strength. There were more and more patrols outside, and their footsteps and shouts echoed outside the cave, making people more nervous. These patrols were obviously searching for something, and if they continued to move, they would face huge risks.

In the darkness, people silently thought about the next action plan. They knew that they could not be trapped here for a long time and had to find a way to break through the predicament. Some people suggested waiting for the patrol to leave before taking action, but others were worried that waiting too long would make the situation more dangerous.

After careful consideration, Alpha stood up and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find other ways out. Maybe there are other passages deep in the cave. We can try to explore them." This proposal was approved by everyone, so the four of them began to grope forward cautiously in the dark.

The cave was filled with a damp smell, and the stone walls were wet, making people feel a little gloomy. They relied on the faint light of the underground world and moved forward with difficulty. Every step was full of uncertainty, and they didn't know what was waiting for them ahead.

Suddenly, the monkeys found a small crack in the stone wall, which seemed to be a passage leading to other places. A glimmer of hope surged in the hearts of the people, and they carefully squeezed into the crack and continued to move forward. The passage was narrow and tortuous, and they had to pass sideways, but no one complained, only the desire to survive drove them forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally walked out of the passage and came to a relatively spacious cave. There seemed to be no trace of patrol soldiers here, and people were temporarily relieved. However, they also understood that there might be more difficulties and challenges waiting for them ahead. But at this moment, they were ready and determined to face them bravely and find a way home.

"Lord Alpha, we seem to have lost our way. This place is completely unfamiliar to me." Mashu has lived in the underground world since she was a child, but she has no impression of the cave in front of her.

Alpha's clothes and luggage were almost reduced to ashes in a previous fire, and Mashu didn't bring any food, Evelyn only had a few fruits, and the monkey only had a few pieces of meat. The lack of food became an urgent problem they faced.

"Why can't I see even the shadow of a monster?" Alpha leaned against the wall, actually hoping to encounter a monster.

"Lord Alpha, why do you have such an idea?" Evelyn snuggled in Alpha's arms, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

"Without food, we will starve to death." Alpha really didn't want to face such an outcome.

"Lord Alpha, there are some underground mosses here. They can replenish water and energy, but unfortunately there are few of them." Mash looked at the green plants on the moist wall with excitement, but after seeing such a limited number, she regained her composure.

After a long journey, Alpha was already exhausted. His steps became heavy, as if every step required great effort. Finally, he stopped and decided to rest for a day to allow his body to fully recover so that he could continue to move forward tomorrow.

Alpha found a flat platform and lay down, feeling the warmth of the earth. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and gradually calmed his mind. Fatigue came over him like a tide, his body gradually relaxed, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.

In deep sleep, Alpha's brain also rested. His thoughts drifted in the boundless dream, forgetting all troubles and fatigue. He seemed to be in a beautiful world, where there was no fatigue and difficulty, only tranquility and beauty.

……

"Kill! Hold on, there is the gourd mouth in front, and we will win if we block the gap!" Lister shouted at the top of his lungs, waving the sword in his hand and commanding the knights to rush forward.

On the battlefield, the air was filled with smoke and the sound of killing was deafening. The battle lines in front were completely intertwined, and the enemy and our side were like jagged teeth in a crisscross pattern, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

In the rear, the dark elves and dwarves' support troops had arrived, bringing with them 3,000 warriors. However, there was still a distance of 100 meters, so they could not completely compress the battle line and could only watch their comrades in front of them fighting bloody battles with the enemy.

The killing on the battlefield never stops, and countless soldiers fall every moment. The blood dyes the earth red, as if telling the cruelty of war.

Lister's boar riders and heavy knights marched forward bravely, advancing with iron will, constantly compressing the enemy's space. However, every step forward was accompanied by the sacrifice of countless soldiers. This was a road to victory built with lives.

Under the command of Lister, the dark elves gradually compressed the enemy's front. They were agile and swift, moving around the battlefield and releasing powerful magic. However, behind all this was a huge price, and the fall of each dark elf was heartbreaking.

In the smoke of war, courage and sacrifice are intertwined. Liszt knows that the dawn of victory is just ahead, but they must make more efforts. He does not flinch and leads the knights to move forward. For that glimmer of hope and for the final victory, they vow to never give up.

"Captain Lister, our manpower is very limited, and the rear has been surrounded by the enemy's army. It is impossible to dispatch more knights to support us." A dark elf sergeant wiped the blood from his face and reminded loudly and anxiously.

Lister looked at the remaining soldiers with a serious look. The wounded had been transferred to the rear, and now there were only about a thousand people who could continue fighting.

"This is not a solution. We must find a way to deal with the enemy, otherwise our strength will be exhausted sooner or later." Lister was well aware of the severity of the situation, and he secretly thought about how to deal with it.

"I have an idea. We all retreat, abandon the center, and form a two-wing pincer attack." Lister thought of a risky strategy, but this method was extremely risky. If they could not effectively attack the enemy, they would face a total collapse.

"This won't work. It's too dangerous! Once the enemy is allowed in, the elven city in the rear will collapse instantly." The dark elf sergeant strongly opposed this plan.

"But if we continue to consume our strength, we won't be able to hold out for long. Once our strength is exhausted, the enemy will still be able to advance effortlessly." Lister knew the risks involved, but they currently had no better way to stop the enemy's army.

"I agree with Captain Lister's suggestion. Continuing the stalemate is just waiting for death, while adopting a two-wing pincer attack strategy at least gives us a glimmer of hope." A large number of dwarf warriors expressed their opinions.

"The success rate of this method is only 9 in 10, and the hope of success is slim." The dark elf sergeant was still skeptical about this suggestion.

"But this is better than sitting and waiting to die. After all, we still have a glimmer of hope." In the end, after careful consideration, everyone decided to choose Lister's suggestion.

They abandoned the central army and let the enemy's main force advance directly. Ten minutes later, they would go upstream and directly cut off the enemy's offensive. This was their last chance and their determination to fight to the death.

The idea is good, but the reality is often different. Abandoning the joint forces in the center is like a ship without a helmsman, unable to go upstream. They can only be pushed by the advancing team and gradually shift to the sides.

Although they finally managed to escape from the army, the distance between them and Hulukou was getting farther and farther, and the situation became critical and bad.

Fortunately, Lister had the protection of the boar riders and was able to avoid retreating. However, rushing forward was almost an impossible task.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but they failed to make much progress, almost standing still, and might even be drifting downstream.

"Lord Lister, we are completely scattered and can't find any trace of the other legion." The dwarf warrior sent a call for help. The distance here was only a hundred meters, but they could not detect the existence of the other side.

"Don't worry about them, let's keep moving forward." Seeing the wolf pack gradually thinning out, Lister immediately ordered everyone to move forward.

Half of the soldiers in the team disappeared, and now they are seriously insufficient to stop the enemy. Only by successfully occupying the passage of dozens of meters at Hulukou can they have a chance of survival.

"Kill!" Everyone screamed at the top of their lungs. They tried their best to swim upstream. Every step was difficult. The enemy's attack was like a raging wave, which seemed to swallow them up. However, they did not flinch and rushed forward firmly.

After several dozen meters of arduous trekking, their physical strength and endurance reached their limits. But the last twenty or thirty meters were like an unbridgeable chasm in front of them. They felt unprecedented pressure and difficulties, but their fighting spirit became stronger.

They held their weapons tightly in their hands and launched a fierce attack with all their might. The swords clashed, flashing with cold light, and each swing carried endless power. Their attack was as fierce as a storm, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe. The river surged under their feet, echoing their momentum.

At this moment, they are not only fighting the enemy, but also fighting against their own limits. They write the legend of courage and persistence with sweat and blood, and never give up any hope. They know that only by breaking through this final limit can they usher in the dawn of victory.

"Captain Lister, the enemy is coming from the rear!" This news was like a bolt from the blue, making the already critical situation even worse. What's worse is that after the attacking werewolf warriors found that their retreat was blocked, they turned back. Under the attack from both sides, they seemed to have no way out.

"God wants me to die!" Liszt sighed to the sky, his heart filled with despair. He didn't know that they had already succeeded in another direction. Even if they failed here, it would only cost them more.

But no one would inform them of this news, it was like ten teams were arranged before, but they were only told that there was only one group, so that they could devote themselves to the battle.

"Captain Lister, you are responsible for plugging the gap, and we will take care of the enemies behind!" At this moment, something unexpected happened. The disappeared dark elf assassin group suddenly rushed out from the crowd. Originally, they were trapped on both sides of the passage by the enemy, but they found a breakthrough while retreating, which gave Lister the confidence to continue fighting.

"Kill!" With a roar, Lister took the lead and led the team forward bravely.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the passage was gradually compressed. As the distance shortened, their pressure was gradually reduced. Finally, they successfully blocked the enemy at the gap at the gourd's mouth.

Lister withdrew two seriously injured Wild Boar Riders. There were only six Wild Boar Riders left out of the original eight, and two of them were seriously injured and their lives were in danger.

"Save them, immediately!" Influenced by Alpha, Lister now cares deeply for his knights.

"Warrior Hal, take a hundred soldiers to support the dark elves. We can hold this side." Considering the current situation, Lister withdrew a boar knight and a hundred soldiers from the position as rotation. The dark elves in the rear were in a very critical situation at the moment.

"Okay, Captain Lister, I'll leave this to you!" The dwarf warrior Hal led the team to the rear without hesitation.

With the tacit cooperation of everyone, the battle lines on both sides began to stabilize and were temporarily in a relatively safe state.

In this fierce battle, they faced a serious problem, that is, the lack of reserve forces, which made it extremely difficult for them to fight a protracted battle.

……

"You mean, you have successfully completed the mission and destroyed the enemy's teleportation array?" The dark elf chief Herman was so excited after hearing the news sent back by Mai.

However, Herman's mood was soon replaced by worry. He asked anxiously, "Why are only a few of you back? Where is Captain Alpha?"

Mai answered honestly, "In order to protect us, Lord Alpha was burned to ashes by the huge energy impact of the teleportation array. We were unable to save him. Mashu also died on the battlefield."

Herman felt a sharp pain in his heart and sighed silently. He didn't know how to face and deal with the death of his son Matthew. Dying on the battlefield might be the best destination for this son.

Mai nodded silently. Too many people died in this disaster.

Finally, Hermann decided: "Let's not announce this to the public yet." He knew the importance of this decision and had to handle it with caution.
