I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 249 Ambush from four sides

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the recruitment operation, Alpha issued an order requiring the front-line troops to stop attacking and give the enemy a chance to breathe so that they would have enough time to consider the conditions for recruitment.

Accompanied by the caracal, the messenger trudged through the battlefield filled with gunpowder and arrived at the temporary camp of the mutant army. They were taken to a heavily guarded tent and met the commander of the mutants. The messenger carefully handed Alpha's letter and antidote to the commander, and explained in detail the conditions for recruitment proposed by Alpha: all mutants who accepted the antidote and gave up fighting would be accepted as residents of Minx and would be able to enjoy equal rights and treatment with humans.

However, the commander's expression seemed a little hesitant. He stared at the antidote in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. On the one hand, he was a little moved by Alpha's proposal, because he knew the plight of mutants and they longed to live a normal life; on the other hand, he also had doubts about this sudden recruitment action, worrying that it might be a trap. At this moment, his eyes fell on the former mutant soldiers standing aside. Seeing that they have now regained their sanity and can stand and communicate like normal people, the commander's heart can't help but be touched.

Serious disagreements began to emerge within the mutant army. Some officers firmly opposed accepting the amnesty, believing that this was just a trap set by Alpha and that they would lose their freedom and dignity if they gave up resistance; while other ordinary soldiers began to yearn to get rid of the curse of mutation and live a peaceful and normal life.

In the heated debate, the commander fell into deep thought. He understood that this decision was related to the future of the entire mutant corps and must be carefully considered. After some struggle, he finally decided to give Alpha a response. He asked for some time to think carefully and hoped that Alpha could provide more antidotes to show his sincerity.

The caracal carried the commander's reply and set off on his way back to Minx. When Alpha learned the news, he resolutely decided to provide another batch of antidote and sincerely invited the mutant representatives to come to Minx for a face-to-face negotiation.

Under the careful arrangement of the Manul, the representatives of the mutants quietly visited Minx. They witnessed the revival of the city and deeply felt the gradual change in the attitude of humans towards mutants.

This visit was like a ray of hope, greatly enhancing the mutants' trust in the amnesty. After returning to the camp, the representatives enthusiastically promoted the process of amnesty.

After a series of difficult negotiations, the mutant army finally accepted the amnesty. They laid down their weapons, accepted the antidote, and solemnly swore allegiance to Alpha.

Alpha and Manul jointly oversaw the process, ensuring that every mutant received appropriate treatment and proper placement.

With the addition of the mutant army, Minx's defense has been unprecedentedly improved. Alpha knows that they now have a stronger strength to cope with all kinds of challenges in the future.

The success of the recruitment has brought new opportunities to Minx, and the reconstruction and development of the city is in full swing. Fortunately, the integration of mutants and humans is very smooth. They work together to build their homes and train together to make full preparations to resist possible invasions in the future.

Alpha watched the prosperous scene in the city with hope in his heart. He knew that the city was becoming a shining example of the beauty of harmonious coexistence among different races.

The former mutant, the Manul, has now become a hero in Minx. His bravery and wisdom have injected new vitality into the city.

At a large-scale rally, Alpha stood on a towering platform and announced Minx's new goal in a firm and loud voice - to establish an unprecedented alliance, a powerful allied force.

This alliance will not only accommodate humans and mutants, but also open its doors to all races willing to join. They will work hand in hand to jointly defend against foreign invasions, pursue progress together, and fight bravely for a better future.

Alpha knows that it is difficult for humans or mutants to cope with the challenges they may face in the future. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can they survive and develop in this crisis-ridden world. Therefore, he calls on all races to put aside their prejudices, abandon barriers, and jointly form this alliance.

The significance of this alliance is not only a military alliance, but also a cross-racial cooperation. Different races will share each other's knowledge, technology and culture, learn from each other and make progress together. They will jointly explore unknown areas, jointly deal with global crises, and jointly create a more peaceful and prosperous world.

In this alliance, every race will have equal voice and decision-making power. They will jointly formulate the rules and policies of the alliance to ensure that the interests of every member are protected. At the same time, the alliance will also set up special institutions to coordinate the relationship between different races and resolve possible contradictions and conflicts.

Alpha's speech was passionate and full of a sense of mission. His words were like a torch, igniting the passion of everyone present. People responded to his call and expressed their willingness to work hard for the cause of the Alliance. The announcement of this new goal marked the beginning of a new era for Minx, an era full of hope and challenges. In this era, all races will unite closely and write their own glorious chapter together.

However, Alpha's speech planted hidden dangers in the future crisis. In fact, many creatures were labeled as dark by the Church, which made the Allied Forces not only the enemy of the Dark Source Mutants, but also the hostile force of the Church of Light. Alpha's speech was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, causing an uproar in all walks of life.

At the same time, the human army is still fighting a life-and-death struggle with the mutant army. What is more serious is that Germany, a country that is a loyal believer of the Holy See, is in a precarious situation. Under such circumstances, the Holy See has to temporarily put aside the expedition against Alpha and focus on dealing with the current predicament.

After Alpha's speech, the relationship between Minx and the Church became tense. The Church regarded Alpha's allies as heretics, believing that they were colluding with the dark forces and threatening the authority of the Church of Light and the purity of faith.

Some hardliners within the Vatican began calling for a holy war to rid the world of darkness, while more moderate factions worried that such action could escalate the conflict on the continent and further undermine the already fragile peace.

At the same time, the situation of Germany became increasingly difficult. Frequent attacks by mutants made the country's military and civilians exhausted, and food and resource shortages became a daily occurrence. The King of Germany urgently asked the Holy See for help, hoping that the Holy See could send the Paladins to help resist the mutant attacks.

There were disagreements within the Vatican on how to respond to Germany's request. The power of the Vatican was far less than before, and it was simply unable to support the German Empire. In the end, it even asked Alpha to send troops to support Germany. After all, Alpha was still the commander of the 9th Regiment of the Vatican's Knights of Light.

Although Minx has achieved some victories under Alpha's leadership, it is not easy to maintain the alliance. The trust between mutants and humans is still fragile, and now they have to face the potential threat of the Church.

A month after Alpha's alliance was announced, an envoy from the Magic Empire visited Minx. The envoy's name was Alyssa, a smart and persuasive female magician and Darwin's close friend. Alyssa set off for Minx with a handwritten letter from Darwin and Alpha and a detailed peace proposal.

During her journey, Elisa faced many difficulties, including bandit attacks and assassination attempts by political opponents, but she relied on her wisdom and magical abilities to overcome dangers time and time again.

After arriving in Minx, Alyssa was warmly received. She cleverly used the sympathy of the moderates within the Church for Minx and the concerns of the hardliners in the Church to successfully resolve the pagan crisis in the Magic Empire and win the declaration of a free man for herself.

However, Alyssa also knew that this free man was only limited to the allied forces. Once he stepped out, he would still be identified as a heretic and would be arrested by the Vatican.

Alpha had just received Alyssa and signed the alliance agreement when the Vatican envoy arrived in Minx.

"Asshole, what on earth do you want to do? Do you want to completely split with the Holy See and become a pagan?" When the Holy See envoy saw Alpha, he grabbed Alpha's ear and went straight to the backyard.

"Lady Athena, what happened? I don't understand." Alpha hugged Athena's delicate body and let Athena drag him away.

"What do you mean by the Allied Forces? What do you mean by the Magic Empire? Do you know how many races on the continent are defined as dark creatures and pagans by the Church? The Magic Empire is the country of pagans." Athena let go of Alpha and roared angrily.

"Ah, I didn't think about that." Alpha only now realized that his momentary impulse had actually betrayed his old club.

"Even if you accept these pagans, you can't announce it to the public. If it weren't for the civil strife in the German Empire, the Holy See would have already issued an order for a holy war on the pagans, and you would have become the public enemy of the entire continent." Athena's serious expression did not mean she was exaggerating.

"What should we do now?" Alpha also regretted it very much. It was all his fault that he acted impulsively and thought the problem was too simple.

"You have two choices now. The first is to give up everything and return to the Vatican to admit your mistakes. Of course, those who want you dead will never let you go, but I will do my best to protect you. The best outcome is that you will be placed under house arrest and stay in the Vatican forever." Athena certainly would not watch Alpha being executed.

"What's the other choice?" Alpha was very unwilling. He really didn't want to hand over his life and death to others. Once he entered the Holy See, he would completely lose his voice, and his life and death would depend on the thoughts of others.

"Another option is to take advantage of the continental crisis to help Germany resolve the crisis and find the Tenth Commandment Ring as soon as possible. After that, we will announce the disbandment of the Allied Forces. I will explain to the Vatican that all this is just false news spread to resolve the German crisis." Athena's explanation seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was not completely impossible.

Doing so, on the one hand, solved the Vatican's biggest worry and was a credit to the Vatican; on the other hand, it gave the Vatican face and avoided a major war. Coupled with Alpha's current strength, the Vatican is likely to turn a blind eye to this choice.

"Okay, I understand, Athena. During this time, I will be careful and cautious and will not cause any more trouble." Alpha regretted that he had paid so much because of his momentary impulse.

"Take care of yourself. I'm going back to report." Athena turned and left, leaving Alpha in deep thought. He realized that every decision he made could bring unexpected consequences, and he had to be responsible for his words and deeds.

"Lady Athena, you have just traveled a long way and must be exhausted. You should stay and have a good rest." Alpha hugged Athena's charming body without hesitation and comforted her softly.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Athena tried to resist, but Alpha kissed her lips domineeringly. Her body gradually lost the strength to resist, and finally Alpha held her tightly in his arms and went into the bedroom together...

After a passionate lovemaking, Athena quietly packed up her belongings and chose to leave. After all, she was only here to warn Alpha, and she still had her own mission to complete.

"Lord Alpha, was that someone from the Church?" Alyssa glanced at Athena. With just one look, Alyssa was frightened and dared not act rashly. However, Athena did not attack her because the other party was not her mission target, and there was no need for her to do anything unnecessary.
