I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 242 Shocking Battle

"Welcome to join us, a warm welcome! You will continue to be the leader of the Lingfeng Knights in the future. I hope we can work together to defeat the orc army." In the face of Ferold's loyalty, Alpha sincerely accepted it.

With the addition of the Lingfeng Knights, Alpha's army became stronger. They began intensive training and preparation to meet the greater challenges that are coming.

In the following days, Alpha and his warriors fought many battles with the orc army, and each time they won with their bravery and wisdom. These victories not only consolidated Alpha's rule, but also made the people trust and respect him more.

However, Alpha knew that all these victories were just the beginning. He had to constantly strengthen his strength and remain vigilant, because the orc army would not give up. They would definitely come back and bring a more fierce attack.

Therefore, Alpha began to build a more rigorous intelligence network, on the one hand to better understand the movements of the orc army, on the other hand to strengthen internal unity and loyalty. He knew that only by unity can we achieve the final victory in this protracted battle.

"Everyone, there's no need to be so nervous. The main purpose of this meeting is to summarize the battle with the mutant orcs and discuss strategies for future battles." Looking at everyone sitting upright, Alpha comforted them, trying to make them relax.

"Although we won this battle, I also found many problems and shortcomings." Alpha began to speak. In order to avoid similar situations in the future, he summarized the battle.

"The most powerful enemy is the mutant orc army. Their defense is extremely strong, and our existing magic spears can no longer pose a fatal threat to them. In view of this, I will urge the rear to research larger caliber and more powerful weapons. At present, we can only pose a threat to the enemy's ordinary army in the rear, and everyone must remember this. Magic spear knights must shoot at the enemy while moving, and avoid close confrontation with the enemy head-on." Alpha deliberately emphasized the key point.

"We currently only have the Heavy Knights to deal with the enemy's orc army, but at a heavy price. In this battle, we are equal in number to the enemy's strongest force. If it weren't for the participation of the Lingfeng Knights, our situation would be very dangerous. Even so, our Heavy Knights suffered heavy losses, and only about 30 people can continue to fight." Of course, Alpha did not count the injured. He used magic to treat these people, and about 20 people were able to recover, but even so, the disability rate was as high as 50%.

"For our Heavy Knights, I will have the rear research more powerful armor and weapons. At the same time, the Heavy Knights must also pay attention to flexible combat. When facing more powerful enemies, we must work together to fight the enemy together." Alpha summarized these two aspects and put forward requirements.

"Lord Alpha, we will never retreat when we encounter the enemy in the future. We will fight for honor and for the empire. Dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for us knights." Ferold had escaped once, and he would never admit defeat in the future.

"No, Ferrod, I don't need those meaningless battles." Alpha's expression was serious. He knew that when facing a powerful enemy, he couldn't just fight blindly, but needed to use wisdom and strategy. "If we want to defeat the enemy, we must use all means to fight the enemy." His eyes were firm and wise.

Ferod was confused after listening to Alpha's teachings. He was used to charging directly into battle and was not familiar with this kind of tactical thinking.

Alpha saw Ferod's confusion, and he said earnestly: "Ferod, the strength of your Windward Knights lies in speed and attack, so you should play to your strengths and destroy the enemy in motion. Don't use your weakness to attack the enemy's strength. That is not loyalty, but stupidity." He hoped that Ferod could understand this.

Alpha didn't want to say more, he knew that the members of the Lingfeng Knights needed time to understand and practice. Finally, he said solemnly: "Everyone, remember the sixteen-word mantra of mobile warfare: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. This is the key to our victory over the enemy!"

These sixteen words were like a beacon, pointing the way for the Lingfeng Knights. Ferold understood that they had to be flexible and changeable in battle, and choose the right tactics according to the enemy's situation. Only in this way could they better exert their strength and win.

"Next are our future combat requirements." After completing the battle summary, Alpha began to deploy the next task arrangements.

"First, we must be clear about our mission objectives. Our mission is to recover the state of Auli that has been destroyed by mutants and restore its former prosperity and normalcy. Secondly, we must attract the attention of mutants as much as possible to reduce the pressure of the mutant orc army on the imperial capital and make the greatest contribution to the victory of the empire." In fact, Alpha did not want to attract the attention of mutants, because doing so would be tantamount to exposing himself to danger. However, he knew that if the empire fell, even if he could survive, he would have to face the more powerful mutant army alone.

"For these two tasks, Captain Mark will be responsible for expanding influence and recovering lost territory. Captain Ferold will be responsible for resisting the invading enemy. In addition, you have another important task, which is to integrate the scattered knights of the empire. I want to rebuild the glory of the empire. As for the enemy's orc army, I will send Fattam to form the strongest heavy-armored knights." In fact, Alpha has always been reserved about the heavy-armored knights, especially after the advent of the magic gun, he even lowered the standard of light knight armor. However, now he finds that in this era, the magic gun is not omnipotent. In many cases, close combat and personal bravery can turn the tide of the battle, so he can only follow the trend of the times.

Alpha had a hunch that the role of the magic gun seemed to be similar to the setting in "One Piece". It might play a big role in low-end games, but it was almost useless in high-end games and could hardly kill people. However, Alpha did not give up the research on the magic gun, but kept trying to improve it.

"Lord Alpha, are you planning to use those mutant orcs to build a heavy-armored knight group?" Lilia suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, that's the situation. You have all seen that those mutant orcs are actually humans. Mutants who have lost their energy are no different from ordinary humans. I will handle this properly. If these mutants cannot be controlled, then I will destroy them all without hesitation." Alpha has a deep feeling about the strength of the Orc Legion. With such a powerful force, it is impossible for him not to use it.

"Lord Alpha, mutants cannot be trusted." Lilia still expressed doubts about these people.

"You all must remember that it is not the power itself that is evil, but the human heart. A kind person will go to heaven even if he is trapped in darkness, and an evil person will fall into hell even if he uses light magic. As long as the mutants' hearts yearn for light, we should accept them. I will personally take charge of this aspect." Alpha talked about general principles, and how to implement them specifically still needed to be explored by oneself.

After dealing with the mutant problem, Alpha's eyes were not limited to the battle in front of him. He knew that for the long-term future, he needed a more solid backing and a wider alliance. So he ended the meeting and sent a copy of the minutes to Luster so that he could make better weapons and armor for himself.

Then, Alpha summoned Fattam and Tashan from the mining city. Both of them were perfect candidates for the Heavy Knights. Under Alpha's leadership, they began a new training and equipment update. Alpha knew that only by constantly strengthening his own strength could he have a greater chance of winning against the orc army.

Not only that, Alpha also planned a grand plan-to build a railway to Minsk. He believed that by improving transportation and communication facilities, resources could be better integrated and combat efficiency could be improved.

Under Alpha's command, everything seemed to be going on in an orderly manner. He not only focused on the current battle situation, but also made long-term plans for the future. His decisions and actions gave everyone hope and confidence.

However, while Alpha was busy implementing various plans, Lilia still had doubts. Her distrust of mutants was deep-rooted, but she knew that Alpha's decisions were often carefully considered, and she could only hope that he could really handle everything properly as he said.

As time went by, Alpha's plans gradually unfolded. His powerful pressure and decision-making power made every corner of the state of Aoli filled with his majesty. The hearts of the people gradually settled down, and they began to believe that as long as Alpha was there, the state of Aoli would be able to usher in true peace and prosperity.

Under the leadership of Alpha, the members of the Lingfeng Knights and the Heavy Knights also showed unprecedented cohesion and combat effectiveness. They knew that only by unity can they defeat any enemy.

At this critical moment, everyone is preparing for the upcoming challenge. They know that the Orc Legion will not give up and a new offensive is bound to come. However, under the leadership of Alpha, they are ready to meet the challenge.

Alpha came behind the mutant orc rabbit and whispered, "I know you can understand me. No matter what you have been through, I will give you a chance to start over. As long as you choose to submit to me, I will grant you freedom."

However, the rabbit did not respond to Alpha's proposal. Seeing this, Alpha sighed helplessly and said, "Since you are unwilling, I have no choice but to execute all of you. After all, I can't give up everyone's life for you."

At this time, the rabbit man who had been silent all this time finally spoke, his tone full of sarcasm: "Haha, what's the difference between you and them? Don't they all want to use our power to work for you?"

Alpha shook his head and said seriously: "It's completely different. They transformed you just to realize their ambitions; and I did it to protect more innocent people from the harm of darkness. Our purposes are completely different. If you don't believe it, you can come out and see the hope of this city." As he said that, Alpha opened the cell door.

The rabbit man was very surprised. He couldn't believe that Alpha could open the cell door so easily. "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" he asked doubtfully.

"I'm not afraid of you killing me. I'm more worried that you will hurt innocent people. As for you wanting to kill me, you are not qualified." Alpha's eyes revealed determination and confidence. Alpha had defeated the opponent once before, and although he had the help of others at that time, he still had confidence in his own strength.

"Last time you had someone to help me, and I lost, but I'm not convinced. I want to challenge you." The rabbit man had a provocative look on his face, and he was obviously still brooding over his previous failure.

"Okay, I accept your challenge. I will prepare whatever you need." Alpha responded calmly. He was ready to defeat the opponent again.

The rabbit man stood in the spacious open space, his eyes burning with the fire of duel, but deep inside was a desire to be understood. "All I need is a spacious place, a place where I can fight you in an open and level-headed way." His voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unyielding determination.

Alpha, the strong man who was challenged, did not refuse directly. Instead, his response was full of generosity and respect: "Okay, I promise you." This calm attitude revealed a kingly demeanor. It seemed that in his eyes, fighting was just a way to show strength, not a fight of life and death.
