I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 424 Scientific Configuration and Reasonable Arrangement

"Master Alpha, look over there, there's a huge centipede!" Suddenly, the monkey's terrified voice broke the originally calm atmosphere. Everyone looked in the direction the monkey pointed, and saw a huge centipede twisting its body and approaching them.

Then, the two boar knights in the front were knocked away without any defense. Their bodies hit the hard rocks like kites with broken strings.

The huge impact force caused the Wild Boar Rider's entire body to be embedded in the rock. The entire earth began to tremble, making it unbearable to watch.

Looking at the boar riders lying limp on the ground, it was obvious that they were seriously injured and in critical condition. Despite this, they still struggled and tried to get up and continue fighting.

Alpha did not hesitate at all and immediately cast the light healing magic. The dazzling light fell on the Boar Knight like the warm sun.

Alpha knew very well that no matter who these boar riders were, at this moment, they were all comrades fighting side by side, and he could not sit idly by and let them die.

"Use fire magic!" Looking at the huge monster centipede that was one meter thick, Alpha made a quick decision and shouted loudly.

"Platoon Knights, hold on." Upon hearing the order, all the Boar Knights acted quickly. They formed a platoon, stepped forward and blocked the centipede's way.

The other knights drew their swords and stabbed at the enemy, but facing the hard shell of the centipede, their weapons were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were completely useless.

After Alpha's treatment, the two seriously injured boar riders finally survived. They looked at Alpha with gratitude and then joined the battle without hesitation.

Although their attacks had no effect on the centipede, the Boar Rider's defense was as solid as a rock and the centipede's claws could not easily break through it.

In a fierce battle, the centipede and the boar rider fought each other with amazing strength and tenacious will, and the wrestling between them seemed to be a duel of life and death. At the same time, the elves also continued to cast various magical spells to try to weaken the centipede's power.

The flames burned fiercely, and the scorching flames burned the centipede's body, causing it to feel unbearable pain. It began to twist its body constantly, trying to escape from the burning pain.

A hurricane blew across the battlefield, bringing gusts of wind that tried to blow the centipede down, but the centipede's strong shell allowed it to withstand the wind's attacks.

The wooden bundle was wrapped tightly around the centipede like a rope, trying to restrict its movements, but the centipede's strength allowed it to easily break free.

However, while these spells had some effect on the centipede, their effects were not significant.

The centipede remained strong and tenacious, continuing to fight the boar rider. Neither side was willing to back down, and the outcome of this battle was still unpredictable.

In this fierce battle, every move was full of tension and danger. The elves constantly adjusted their strategies and looked for the centipede's weaknesses, while the centipede tried its best to protect itself.

The outcome of this life-and-death struggle will depend on who can hold on to the end, who can find the opponent's weakness and deliver a fatal blow.

With the exquisite cooperation of humans and the limitations of the small underground space, the giant centipede finally retreated.

Such an environment made it impossible for them to take advantage of their huge bodies. In addition, the elves' magical flames made them suffer unbearable pain, so they had no choice but to retreat.

"We won! We won!" Everyone cheered, but Alpha and Lister smiled bitterly at each other. After all, the giant centipedes only retreated, not killed, and their threat still existed.

"Captain Alpha, what should we do next?" Faced with this situation, Lister had no experience.

Alpha looked at everyone's tired appearance and knew that everyone needed to rest to restore their energy.

"Find a suitable place to rest, and then fight again." Alpha said.

"Lord Alpha, can we throw away these powder explosive packs? They have no effect on centipedes." In fact, the elves Evelyn are still mysophobic and still feel a little disgusted about carrying these powders.

"Wait, maybe they can still be used." Alpha stopped Evelyn.

"Let's evacuate here first." Seeing the elves looking so disgusted that they didn't even know where to put their feet, Alpha decided to leave here first.

"Lord Alpha, I'm so scared that my legs are weak." Fanxing looked at the densely packed centipede corpses on the ground and her legs and feet trembled with fear.

"Come, I'll carry you." Alpha carried Fanxing on his back and led everyone to slowly leave this creepy place. During the evacuation, Alpha fell into deep thought.

These giant centipedes were extremely powerful, and it was difficult to completely eliminate them with the current methods alone. He began to recall his previous battle experiences, trying to find an effective strategy.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Alpha. In a previous battle, they had used a special trap that might be useful against these giant centipedes.

"Lord Alpha, the giant centipede is here again. It's right behind us and almost broke through our defense just now." The monkey was nervously commanding the knights at the back of the team, trying hard to resist the centipede's attack, but the situation was still very critical.

"This centipede seems to be looking for a flaw in our defense. What I'm most worried about now is that it will break through the middle, which is the weak point of our defense." Alpha's face was very solemn and his heart was full of worry.

After all, the underground space they were in was very small, and they could only deploy knights at both ends for defense, and the area in the middle was relatively weak.

Alpha knew that if the centipede broke through from the middle, they would be in great danger. He stared at the front and thought about the strategy. At this moment, every decision was related to their life and death.

The monkey also felt the severity of the situation. He waved his weapon and encouraged the knights: "Everyone hold on. We must not let the centipede break through our defense line!" The knights responded one after another, their eyes revealing firm determination.

Finally, after struggling for a while, the giant centipede reluctantly retreated. However, this was already its third attack. The giant centipede showed amazing wisdom. After being easily blocked by the front line for the first time, it changed its strategy and turned its target to the rear. Once it found signs of looseness in the rear, it attacked twice in succession.

"It seems that this guy will find us again soon." Alpha had a strong premonition in his heart. He knew the enemy's cunning and adaptability, and it was probably only a matter of time before they met. Alpha decided to remain highly vigilant, strengthen defense, and be ready for the next attack of the giant centipede.

Alpha reviewed the previous battles and thought about how to improve the defense strategy. Maybe they needed to strengthen the rear defense line or set more traps and obstacles to prevent the giant centipede from approaching. At the same time, they also needed to better coordinate the team's actions and improve their reaction speed to ensure that they could respond more effectively the next time they encountered it.

Alpha knew very well that if he could not quickly deal with the giant centipede, their fight would turn into a long tug-of-war, which was totally inconsistent with Alpha's character. After all, Alpha always liked to take the initiative and fight quickly, rather than being dragged into a protracted war by the enemy. Only a thief can guard against thieves for a thousand days, but a thief can guard against theft for a thousand days.

Alpha and Lister had a detailed discussion on the defensive formation. They divided the eight most defensive boar riders into three groups, four in the front, two in the middle, and two in the back, to improve the team's overall defensive capabilities. This formation can effectively resist the giant centipede's attack and also provide more protection for teammates.

At the same time, everyone is also thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy in this underground space. After all, there is a giant centipede that is always lurking around, making people nervous and unable to defend themselves. Some people suggest using traps in the environment to deal with centipedes, but this requires sufficient understanding of the terrain; others suggest using fire or poison to attack centipedes, but these methods need to be implemented with caution to avoid accidentally hurting one's own people.

In the tense atmosphere, Alpha thought calmly. He realized that the weakness of this giant centipede might be its joints. If we can focus on attacking these parts, we may be able to effectively weaken its combat effectiveness. So Alpha summoned the archers and magicians in the team and made a detailed attack plan.

When the giant centipede attacked again, Alpha led his teammates to counterattack according to the plan. The archers aimed at the centipede's joints and shot deadly arrows, while the magicians cast various spells to weaken the centipede's power.

"Lord Alpha, with the current intensity of the fire, it's probably difficult to cause systemic damage to the centipede. The effect of such an attack is really limited." The elf Evelyn had tried it before, but because their fire magic was not strong enough, the results were not ideal.

"So, what kind of magic are you best at?" Alpha knew that every magician had his own area of ​​expertise, and fire magic was obviously not the strong point of these green elves. He needed to know more in order to formulate a more effective strategy.

"We green elves, also known as forest elves, are best at tree magic, followed by earth magic and water magic. Destructive magic such as lightning and fire are areas where we are relatively weak, Lord Alpha." Evelyn explained to Alpha as a representative.

"In that case, you don't have to use fire magic to attack the giant centipede. Try trapping it with wood magic, will that work?" Alpha quickly changed his strategy.

"It can be done, but the giant centipede's sharp claws can easily destroy our plant barrier. After a long time, we may not be able to trap it." Evelyn looked embarrassed.

"Can you hold on for twenty minutes?" Alpha seemed to be planning something.

"If we use our full strength, there shouldn't be any problem." They had tried this method before, but it was only for auxiliary combat. Now if they gave it their all, Evelyn believed she could do it.

"Very good. After the battle begins, you must do your best to trap the giant centipede and help clear out the small centipedes around it." Alpha arranged the tasks for the elves, and next he needed to deploy the Imperial Knights.

"Knight Commander Lister, your knights need to compress the giant spider to the position I specify and never let it escape." Alpha gave Lister a serious task. Lister knew that the key point of Alpha's task was to stop the enemy and ensure that the enemy would not flee.

"Please rest assured, Captain Alpha, we will complete the mission!" Lister answered without hesitation.

After many collaborations with Alpha, Lister now understands Alpha's character. Alpha will not easily let his knights take risks. Like himself, he is committed to completing the mission while ensuring the knights have the greatest chance of survival. This trust in each other makes Lister full of confidence in Alpha.

"Monkey, your shadow knights are responsible for finding out the size and length of the giant centipede, and at the same time finding a passage that can accommodate the giant centipede. The fewer exits the passage has, the better." Alpha then made deployments to his knights.

According to current observations and judgments, the giant centipede is about one meter wide and 40 centimeters thick. With its sharp claws, its overall length is probably more than three meters. As for its actual length, it is probably more than 50 meters. However, they have not seen the giant centipede's true appearance with their own eyes.

In order to better understand the situation of the giant centipede, the monkey led the shadow knights to quietly approach the giant centipede's habitat. They carefully concealed their figures, did not make any sound, and used the shadow clothes to hide their figures. The monkey widened his eyes and carefully observed the movements of the giant centipede.

As they got closer, the monkeys discovered that the giant centipede's body was covered with a thick layer of scales, which flashed a strange light. Its tentacles kept swinging, as if it was sensing the surrounding environment. The giant centipede's mouth was full of sharp teeth, which made people shudder.

The monkey took a deep breath and signaled the Shadow Knights to move on. They had to find a suitable position to get a clearer view of the giant centipede.

Finally, they came to a high place where they could overlook the giant centipede's habitat. The monkey took out a telescope and carefully observed everything in front of him.

"Lord Alpha, the preparations you have made are mainly to trap the giant centipede, but there is no way to directly attack the giant centipede. Even if we successfully trap it, we cannot fundamentally solve this enemy?" Maven explained worriedly.

Alpha smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I have a way. This depends on the powder explosive packs on your back."

Then, Alpha collected almost all the Knight Bullets he had collected, making sure that no more than ten Knight Bullets were left in each soldier's hands, and the rest were all gathered together.

"Take the gunpowder from the bullets and mix it evenly with the powder."
