I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 182: Knights Massacre the City

"Capture a few old people and children, hang them on the city wall, and tell them that if they don't surrender tomorrow, we will massacre the whole city." The officer's face was fierce and cruel, and it was obvious that he was not joking.

The commander's decision made some knights shudder, but no one dared to resist. They could only carry out the order silently and pray that the disaster would end as soon as possible.

Alpha and his team observed outside the city for a while, and when they saw the old man and the child hanging on the city wall, they couldn't help but feel angry. They knew that they had to find Liv and the others as soon as possible, hand over the information to the Empire, and reveal the truth behind all this.

"We can't waste time here, we must leave immediately." Alpha said in a deep voice. At the same time, Alpha also knew that it was these people who destroyed this small town.

"That's right, we need more strength. Only by uniting together can we change the status quo." Gun clenched his fists, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Everyone quickly left the scene, disappeared into the vast night, and headed towards an unknown road. Deep in the dark forest, unknown crises and challenges were waiting for them, but they firmly believed that as long as they did not give up, they would be able to usher in a new dawn one day.

"Sir, they ran away, our sentinels saw them enter the Dark Forest." The sentinel sent the message.

"Then we'll massacre the city, burn, kill and loot for a day, and you can do whatever you want today." The knights cheered after hearing the report from their men.

"Sir, they are our people, you can't do this?" Sergeant B wanted to persuade them, but was directly driven out by his superior.

Watching the atrocities in the city, Sergeant B began to doubt what he was fighting for. Was it just for wealth and glory, for superiority?

"You have followed us for so long. Now I want to resist the atrocities of the Knights. I will occupy the South Gate and let the people leave. You can do whatever you want. I will not stop you." Sergeant B made the decision. Even if he disobeyed orders, it could not stop his determination.

"Sir, we are with you. This is not the Holy Knights at all. This is the Bandit Knights. I don't want to be a bandit." Sergeant B finally gathered thirty people and occupied the south gate.

"What happened? Is the enemy attacking the city?" Hearing the sound of killing, the officer immediately climbed down from the woman's body.

"No, it's the South City that was occupied by Gullit. They disobeyed orders and released the bandits in the city." Sergeant A has long been unhappy with Sergeant B Gullit, and now he is taking the opportunity to take revenge.

"Pass on my order, immediately kill all the escaped bandits." If everyone in the town died, it would only be a matter of one word, so no one could be left alive.

"Tell them that if they lay down their weapons and kill the robbers, I will forgive them for their past mistakes." If the commander had been hesitant before, now he had blatantly given up on human mercy.

"Everything is left to you. If you don't obey, I will kill you all." The officer closed the door. There were three beauties inside waiting for his enjoyment.

……

"Hey, stop." Alpha reined in his horse as soon as he rushed into the dark forest.

Following Alpha's command, the entire team quickly stopped advancing. The horses panted, and the knights looked around vigilantly, only to see the forest was pitch black, and an inexplicable chill enveloped everyone's heart.

"Lord Alpha, what's wrong?" Gun asked nervously. He sensed an unusual atmosphere.

"It looks like the mercenaries are here too." Alpha's voice was low and calm. "There's an ambush in this forest. I can sense the killing intent."

Gunn and his team looked at each other, then carefully dismounted, holding their weapons, and formed a defensive circle. They knew that in this dark forest, the enemy might have set a trap.

"Listen!" Alpha suddenly raised his hand for silence.

The team members held their breath and listened attentively. In the distance, there seemed to be a slight sound of leaves rubbing against each other, as well as suppressed breathing. It was almost certain that they were surrounded by some kind of creature or person.

"What should we do, Lord Alpha?" a team member asked in a low voice.

Alpha took a deep breath. He knew that at this moment, any reckless action might lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

"In that case, let's do something big. Everybody, rush back to the town. I want the mercenaries to be our helpers." Alpha smiled mysteriously, as if he had found a plan.

"What do you mean? Lord Alpha." Meiyi was very confused.

"Retreat and lure them out." Alpha took the lead to break out of the encirclement, and the mercenaries behind him all went out according to the situation.

"Don't get entangled with them, just shoot them with bows and arrows to attract their hatred." Alpha took the lead in fighting back, and everyone followed his example. After successfully killing more than a dozen people, they immediately accelerated to escape.

"Oh no! The enemy has broken out of the dark forest. Hurry up and notify everyone to defend." Unfortunately, the sentry had no time to prepare as the large group of troops had already rushed out. Alpha took advantage of this time difference and left the enemy no time to react.

The mercenary group has been fooled time and time again. This time they have caught up with the enemy and will not stop. They will pursue them relentlessly and vow to kill this living enemy.

"Lord Alpha, why did a battle break out in the city?" Gun looked at the fleeing people and the fireworks of the battle, very confused.

"Stop a civilian and ask about the situation, Meiyi."

Finally, we got the information that there were two groups of knights fighting in the city. One group of knights let the people go out, while the other group was slaughtering them.

"What should we do, Lord Alpha?" Meiyi was very confused.

"Don't care about them. Whoever attacks us will be killed. Whoever harms the people will be killed without mercy." Alpha couldn't figure out the situation either.

"Kill." The mercenary group behind also rushed up to kill.

"Charge into the city." Alpha ignored the mercenaries and accelerated the charge.

At this moment, the commander was enjoying the beautiful woman he had robbed. He became panicked after hearing this. He did not expect Alpha and the others to rush back.

"Quick, organize the defense, don't let them rush in." The officer gave the order hurriedly, but his words no longer had the previous majesty. However, the enemy had already rushed in, so he quickly put on his clothes and prepared to fight.

The mercenaries picked up their weapons and prepared to fight, but Alpha and his men had already rushed to the city wall and started a fierce battle with the defenders.

"Shoot, don't let them come up!" the officer shouted in horror.

The defenders on the wall began to shoot arrows, but Alpha and his men were already close to the wall, so the arrows were less effective. Alpha took the lead, wielding his sword, and rushed towards the wall like a tiger.

"Guen, lead your men to charge in and guard the city gate. Once the mercenaries get in, evacuate immediately and let the civilians leave." Alpha gave orders while fighting.

Gun nodded and led a group of troops around to the south gate. They quickly controlled the city gate to prevent the enemy from closing the gate and allowing the people in the city to flee from the city that was about to become a battlefield.

The commander came and saw this scene, and was completely panicked. He didn't expect Alpha and the others to use this trick. In this way, they not only failed to stop the enemy, but also put themselves in a passive position.

For a while, the South Gate was in chaos like a pot of porridge. The Knights were divided into two waves, fighting each other hostilely. The Alpha Squad and the Mercenaries had no clear target at all. Especially the Alpha Squad was scattered, making it even more difficult for the Mercenaries to catch their target. The mercenaries had no place to vent their anger and could only kill whoever they saw.

When the soldiers in the city saw the mercenaries, they started fighting without caring about anything. The mercenaries would not just sit there and wait to die, so they started killing each other.

The battle intensified, and under the leadership of Gunn, the Alpha team successfully occupied the city gate and began to guide the people to escape in an orderly manner. The battle between the mercenaries and the knights also entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides launched fierce duels in the streets and alleys.

Alpha kept looking for the enemy's commander during the battle. He knew that only by defeating the commander could the enemy fall into complete chaos. In an accidental confrontation, he finally found the figure of the commander.

The officer was terrified when he saw Alpha rushing towards him. He tried to turn his horse around and run away, but Alpha was already following him. After a fierce chase, Alpha finally caught up with the officer and knocked him off his horse with a sword.

The death of the commander made the enemy lose their fighting spirit completely, and they surrendered or fled one after another. Alpha led the team to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. At the same time, the mercenary group also suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to leave the city and prepare to find other ways.

After the battle, Alpha stood on the city wall, looking at the ruined city, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that although the battle was won, it brought great damage to the city.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do next?" Gun asked.

Alpha took a deep breath and said, "We need to re-formulate our plan, find Liv and the others, and expose the Empire's conspiracy. At the same time, we have to find a way to make up for the damage we have done to this city."

"Lord Alpha, a commander named Gulit requests to see you. He is the captain of the knight team who helped the people escape." Monkey hurried over to report.

"Bring him here!" Alpha ordered. He was full of curiosity about Commander Gulit.

"I want to know whether you are robbers or not?" Gulit asked directly.

Alpha looked at the commander in front of him, his eyes were firm and powerful, and it was obvious that he was a man who spoke his mind.

"Whether we are robbers or not depends on who is talking about it. If we are talking to the masses, we are not robbers because we never take a penny from them. But if we are talking to the aristocracy, we are an enemy and a robber because we hinder their interests."

Alpha replied calmly, "We are the rebels. Our goal is to overthrow the tyranny of the Empire and save the people of this continent."

Gulit seemed a little surprised after hearing what Alpha said, but then a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. After all, Alpha was probably the only one who dared to shout out in public for the people to resist tyranny.
