I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 324: 2 Athenas' Rescue

"Lord Luciferia, the Knights of Light have entered the city, and the Dark Army has been completely suppressed." At this moment, a dark knight came running over breathlessly and reported in a low voice. There was obvious panic and anxiety in his voice, and it was obvious that the situation had reached a very critical point.

"How is this possible? Is this all a conspiracy of the Holy See of Light? They are using Knight Commander Arthur as bait to kill me." At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through the mind of Dark Knight Commander Lucifaria.

Luciferia quickly analyzed the current situation and tried to find a reasonable explanation. He knew that if the Holy See of Light really set such a trap, then the most important thing now was to get out of it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Although there is a special relationship between the Dark Knight Captain Luciferia and the Pope - on the surface they are allies, but in fact they are full of suspicion and distrust of each other; whenever there is a need to carry out some secret mission, it is usually done by Luciferia himself.

However, deep down, each of them knew that the other was one of their greatest threats and would not hesitate to kill the other if they had the chance. Therefore, upon hearing the news, Luciferia immediately realized that this might be a carefully planned operation by the Holy See of Light to lure and destroy her by sacrificing Arthur.

"Asshole, didn't we agree that after killing Arthur, they would launch an all-out attack only after we gave the signal? Why did they start in advance?" At this moment, the Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria was filled with anger and confusion.

According to the original plan, the Holy See of Light would launch a full-scale attack only after they successfully eliminated Arthur. But now something unexpected has happened, disrupting the entire plan. This not only caught Luciferia off guard, but also made him full of uncertainty about the future. If he escaped in disgrace, all the efforts he had made before would be wasted, and he would even lose a lot of precious resources and manpower.

After a brief and intense thought, "Attack Arthur on all fronts!" At this moment, the Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria decided not to hide his strength anymore, but to go all out to complete the mission. Only by quickly getting rid of Arthur, the key figure, could they ensure that their mission could be successfully completed and the losses could be minimized. So, he issued the final order and prepared to lead the remaining forces for the final counterattack.

Arthur looked at the enemy coming to kill him without any hesitation. Wasn't this exactly what he had expected? If he continued to consume his energy, his fighting spirit would be gradually devoured by the darkness, and he would really become a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this moment, Arthur fought for survival, for honor, and for light. Between life and death, he burst out with unprecedented power. Even the dark knight Luciferia felt the horror of this power and dared not approach easily. Luciferia could only use dark spells to continuously consume Arthur's energy, trying to increase her chances of victory.

However, the battle outside has advanced to the inner city, and the reinforcements of the Holy See of Light are close at hand. The dark forces have little time left, and they must quickly eliminate the enemy in front of them, otherwise the situation will be completely reversed.

"Kill!" At this moment, the Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria also joined the battlefield in person, leading the Dark Knights to launch the final fierce attack. They must eliminate the enemy in front of them as quickly as possible to maintain their advantage in the chaotic situation.

Facing the fierce siege of the Dark Knights, King Arthur's situation became extremely difficult. His body was exhausted, as if the oil had run out, and his strength and speed were much worse than before.

In this battle, Arthur was clearly at a disadvantage, and every swing of his sword seemed so strenuous. He had more and more wounds on his body, and the blood that flowed out was black, which was obviously because the enemy's weapon was coated with a deadly dark poison.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Arthur knew that he was in a very dangerous situation, but as a brave and fearless warrior, he did not choose to retreat or give up.

On the contrary, Arthur decided to fight to the last with all his strength. Even if the final result might be death on the battlefield, he would still face the challenge of fate with the most proud attitude. This indomitable spirit is exactly what King Arthur has always believed in.

"Lord Arthur, we are here to support you!" With passionate shouts, Athena led the knights to attack like a whirlwind. At this moment, a spark of hope ignited in Arthur's heart.

Watching Athena approaching, Arthur showed his back to her without hesitation to show his trust.

"Lord Arthur, we are here!" However, at this critical moment, something strange happened. Another team of knights appeared like a ghost, and the leader was also Athena!

Arthur had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he instinctively wanted to dodge. But it was too late, a sharp spear pierced his body like lightning, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Arthur used all his strength to knock the knight pretending to be Athena away. But at this time, he was already seriously injured and his body was shaky. The situation became extremely critical. He felt his strength was rapidly fading and his vision began to blur.

However, Arthur's heart was not consumed by fear. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried to stay awake. He knew that he could not fall down, and he had to fight to the end, for his beliefs and for those who believed in him.

In this difficult moment, Arthur took a deep breath and gathered the last bit of strength. He stared at the enemy firmly, ready to face the next challenge. He had to use his courage and wisdom to find a way out of the predicament and protect everything he cherished.

"Strong, Gilliana, come with me to kill that master of disguise." Alpha immediately chose his target, the opponent who was on par with Athena. Although the opponent had just been knocked away by Arthur's palm and was seriously injured, this was the best time and could not be missed.

"Knight Athena, you have to think clearly. Arthur is the target that the Pope wants to eliminate. Don't be confused." Seeing Athena's hesitation, Dark Knight Captain Luciferia sent a concentrated voice to her, her voice full of warnings and threats. Others could not hear the conversation between the two, only they knew it well.

"Lady Athena, darkness is swallowing the earth. We must destroy the dark formation." At this time, Alpha reminded loudly. His voice echoed on the battlefield and attracted the attention of people around him.

Alpha knew that Athena did not want to be an enemy of Arthur, but she could not disobey the Pope's order. Therefore, the best strategy was to eradicate the dark forces around her and indirectly help Arthur, rather than confront him directly. This way, she could accomplish her mission while maintaining her own position and principles.

"Do you think you three can be my opponent?" The imitator looked at the three Alphas chasing him and stopped running. He stopped and mocked them. His eyes were full of contempt and disdain, as if he had regarded them as insignificant.

Alpha did not show any wavering or hesitation in the face of the imitator's provocation. Instead, he smiled faintly and said calmly: "I was not your opponent originally, but who knows now?" Although this sentence is simple, it reveals a confident and firm attitude, which seems to imply that some changes are taking place.

Hearing this, the imitator was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, his laughter full of sarcasm. "You little frog in the well, do you think you three minions can defeat me? Even if I am seriously injured, you can't control me." His words were sharp and direct, trying to suppress the other party with his verbal advantage.

However, Alpha was unmoved by this, and just stood there quietly, staring at the enemy in front of him with a sharp gaze. "How do you know if you don't try?" He said softly, his voice was small but extremely powerful.

In fact, Alpha had already been ready at this time, just waiting for the best opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow. He knew that only through actual actions could he prove his strength, not through verbal arguments. Therefore, although he was extremely anxious inside, he still remained calm and composed on the surface, trying to delay time to find an opportunity to launch an attack.

"Alpha Knight, I am well aware of your ability - accumulating energy to explode, that is the source of your strength. However, it is not difficult for me to break the power of your commandments. I will kill you now." The pretender's words revealed a deep understanding of Alpha's ability, which startled Alpha. He realized that the other party might have been observing him secretly, and might even have been lurking by his side for a long time.

"So what?" Although Alpha was shocked, his face showed no expression, as if he had expected all this. "You are just a pretender in the dark, and you are not worthy of being on the stage at all."

The fight between the two quickly escalated and became extremely fierce. Strong and Gilliana stood aside and tried to intervene, but they soon found that such a fight was not something they could help. They could only watch the two powerful opponents engage in a thrilling contest on the battlefield.

The battle between the two instantly became intense, and the air was filled with a tense and fierce atmosphere. Every confrontation between Alpha and his opponent was full of strength and speed, as if the entire space was vibrating for them.

In just these few short days, Alpha's strength has improved significantly. Although his level has not changed on the surface, he has actually been able to demonstrate powerful combat power close to the peak of the bronze level.

This improvement is not only reflected in his more accurate and free control of his own abilities, but also in his calm attitude when facing strong enemies. Every attack, defense and counterattack seems so smooth and natural, just like an instinctive reaction formed after countless actual combat drills.

This rate of growth has surprised those around them, and has also added a bit of uncertainty to what might happen next.

Alpha's situation is similar to Athena's, both were rapidly promoted to the peak of their respective levels through the special means of the Church in a very short period of time. However, this rapid progress did not give them enough time to hone and learn how to better master their own power.

Despite this, Alpha gradually found his own way of fighting in the constant life-and-death battles. His strength grew at a leapfrog, exponential rate, even making some imitators in the early golden age feel unprecedented pressure and threat of death.

"Alpha Knight, do you know that I am also a member of the Holy See, I am the Pope's man, we should not be enemies." Facing Alpha's almost unstoppable attack, the copycat felt unprecedented panic. If he had not been seriously injured by Arthur before, he might never have revealed this secret in an attempt to seek a glimmer of hope.

"As long as I get rid of you, all of this will become a thing of the past, no one will know about it, and everything will become a secret." Alpha was not shaken or distracted by the imitator's words.

As a non-believer who does not believe in the existence of any authority, Alpha only believes in the sword in his hand and the unshakable belief in survival in his heart - to stay alive.

"Even if you really kill me, you will die yourself!" The imitator continued to use words to try to disrupt Alpha's mind, hoping to find a chance to escape.

"At least I can live longer than you." Alpha's eyes were extremely firm and sharp, with an undisguised killing intent flashing in his eyes. Obviously, at this moment, he had made all preparations and vowed to completely destroy the enemy in front of him.

"Alpha, don't refuse a toast. You want to keep me? That's wishful thinking! When I leave here, I will imitate you and use your identity to get close to those who are very important to you - whether they are relatives or friends; not only that, I also plan to destroy all the territories you cherish and make you lose all your support." The imitator laughed loudly, and this was also his ultimatum to Alpha.

"Then you can prepare to die." As these words fell, the air seemed to become icy cold, and everything around them became unusually quiet, leaving only the tense atmosphere brought about by the fierce conflict that was about to break out between the two.

"Alpha Knight, don't think I'm afraid of you. Let me show you the strength of the Golden Knight." The imitator put away the smile on his face, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. A dazzling golden light began to emanate from his body, as if the whole person was wrapped in a layer of golden flames. As his momentum continued to rise, a strong sense of oppression filled the air, and it was obvious that the opponent's murderous intention had risen.

Faced with this sudden change, Alpha Knight did not show the slightest fear. On the contrary, his eyes became more determined, and the air around his body seemed to tremble slightly.

"Then let me see how strong you are." As soon as the words fell, the power of silence on the Alpha Knight reached its peak, and an invisible force emanated from him, forming a confrontation with the opponent. The battle between the two sides instantly reached a white-hot level.

"Take my sword!" The imitator shouted, and swung the sword in his hand suddenly. A dazzling sword light cut through the air and went straight to the Alpha Knight. This attack condensed all the strength and anger of the imitator, and the speed and power were astonishing.

However, at this critical moment, Alpha Knight remained calm. He quickly dodged to the side and drew out his sword with his backhand, preparing for the upcoming fierce confrontation.

This sword may seem simple, but it contains the strongest burst of the power of silence. Even a master as powerful as the Wolf King does not dare to take this round of attack head-on.
