I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 307 Arthur's Teaching, the Conflict between Athena and Alpha

"Lord Alpha, Augustine doesn't have a knight to escort him, so you're at a disadvantage." Strong saw Alpha coming over and explained quickly. His face was full of anxiety, as if he was uneasy about what was about to happen.

"I'm just one person! Gilliana is a free person. She is not anyone's escort knight. She is Knight Gilliana. She is our friend and comrade-in-arms." Alpha said firmly, with an unyielding light in his eyes.

Alpha knows how low the status of the guard knights is in this world. They have almost no human rights and are completely dependent on their masters. They are just slaves abandoned and played with. But Alpha's ideal is to build a truly free and equal society where everyone can have dignity and the right to choose their own destiny.

Hearing this, Gilliana was filled with gratitude. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever treated her as a true friend, let alone a comrade-in-arms. At this moment, she felt unprecedented warmth and respect, as if she had found a long-lost sense of belonging. "Lord Alpha, I am willing to be your escort knight." Although her voice was not loud, it was extremely firm, and her eyes were shining with determination.

However, Alpha shook his head: "No, I refuse. My ideal is to build a world of freedom and equality..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Athena, who hit Alpha on the head with her fist.

This is the seat of the Vatican, and the concept of freedom and equality advocated by Alpha is obviously not suitable for public discussion here. Athena gestured to him to stop talking and quickly pulled him away to avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.

Seeing this, Alpha quickly added: "But you can be my guard knight, Jillianna." Although the two positions are only one letter different, the meanings behind them are very different - the former means subordination, while the latter reflects more cooperation and trust. After seeing the disappointed expression on Jillianna's face, Alpha immediately added this sentence, trying to comfort this new friend. At the same time, he also realized that he had to act more cautiously, especially in such a sensitive place.

Finally, facing Alpha's sincere gaze and his vision for the future, Gilliana smiled brightly: "Lord Alpha, I do." Even though she had just experienced a small storm, she was still full of hope for the future.

For her, who has experienced countless hardships, meeting someone like Alpha who understands and supports her is undoubtedly one of the most precious treasures in her life journey. From now on, no matter how many challenges are waiting for them to overcome together, Gilliana is ready, because she believes that as long as everyone unites and walks hand in hand, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.

Alpha was led by Athena into a huge and deep underground space. This space seemed to be a secret base hidden underground. The walls were inlaid with glowing gems, illuminating the entire area, making it as bright as day even though it was underground. The air was filled with a tense and hopeful atmosphere. Obviously, this place had become the core area for Alman City to resist foreign enemies and plan counterattacks.

The people gathered here are all elites among the elites of the city of Alman. Their strength is at least at the peak of silver, and each of them is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. Among the more than one hundred senior knights, although there are not many golden knights, only less than twenty, each of them exudes a strong aura and is the leader and pillar of the team. Their existence is like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding the direction of everyone's progress.

Arthur, the brave leader, stood in front of everyone, his eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. He said in a steady and powerful voice: "I am very glad that everyone is still alive here. Although we have achieved a staged victory now, the next battle will be very difficult." His words revealed a clear understanding of the challenges in the future, and also inspired everyone present.

"In order to improve everyone's overall strength, I will now share my combat experience and fighting skills with you." Arthur continued, his eyes sweeping over every knight present, as if conveying an invisible force. Hearing this, everyone understood the purpose of Arthur's summoning them - not only to survive, but also to become stronger so that they can better protect their homes in future battles.

As Arthur finished speaking, the entire underground space fell into silence, and everyone was listening attentively, ready to absorb the knowledge and wisdom that was about to be imparted. At this moment, they were not only warriors, but also students eager to grow, looking forward to learning more from Arthur and making themselves stronger.

Arthur's explanation was at a moderate pace, neither too fast for people to follow nor too long for people to get bored. What he talked about was the valuable experience he had accumulated over the years as a paladin. For all the discipline knights present, this knowledge was undoubtedly an extremely precious treasure. Everyone listened attentively, afraid of missing any details, and even the most impatient listeners became unusually serious at this moment.

However, in such a learning atmosphere, Alpha seemed a little absent-minded. Although his body was still sitting there, his thoughts had drifted far away. It was not until Athena reminded him that he realized that he had been distracted.

However, it was this inadvertent reminder that gave Alpha a completely new revelation - combined with Lord Barnes' previous guidance on the combined use of magic and fighting spirit, suddenly, an unprecedented feeling came to his heart, as if he had found a path to a higher realm.

"Alpha, what's wrong with you? You're distracted in this situation. You're hopeless." As the demonstration ended, Athena gently patted Alpha's shoulder, who was in a daze, with a bit of helplessness and disappointment in her tone.

Alpha began to doubt whether it was the right decision to let Alpha join the team. Because from the recent performance, Alpha always seemed to be unable to meet the expected standards, which made Athena, one of the leaders, very confused and uneasy.

"Sir Arthur, do you have no confidence in protecting the city of Alman?" Alpha changed the subject. After all, his mind was not on personal combat. If it weren't for Athena's fist, he would rather return to his own territory and sleep peacefully with his woman in his arms.

"It's hard to say." Athena frowned and thought. There was a hint of worry in her eyes, but she didn't express it directly.

"Why don't you two leave?" Arthur asked curiously, looking at the two people who were still here. His voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under his control.

"Master Arthur, do you have no confidence in defending this place?" Alpha asked directly without hiding anything. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, trying to find the answer from Arthur's expression.

"What do you mean?" Arthur was indeed not confident, but he remained calm in front of the Knights. There was a hint of doubt in his tone, as if he didn't understand why Alpha had such an idea.

"You pass on your skills to us, isn't that the best performance?" Alpha didn't learn many skills this time, but Arthur's tips opened another door for him and benefited him a lot. His words revealed a kind of gratitude, and he also understood Arthur's decision.

"Well, I don't have much confidence in this mission." Arthur said frankly, his voice low and powerful. He knew Alpha would definitely do this, so he decided to prepare in advance. "If Alman can't hold it, you guys take advantage of the chaos to kill it." He looked at Alpha, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Lord Arthur, this sword is for you to use. As long as Lord Arthur is here, we will not fail." Alpha handed the Holy Sword of Arthur that Athena returned to him to Knight Commander Arthur.

In fact, this holy sword was made in imitation of the real holy sword in the hands of Knight Arthur, but now Knight Arthur's sword has been contaminated by the power of darkness and can no longer be used.

"There's no need. The weapons here don't offer much improvement to me." Arthur looked down on this forged holy sword, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Lord Arthur, although this weapon is not as good as your original weapon, it can exert the power of light and is very effective against dark creatures." Alpha said sincerely. After all, if Arthur failed and died on the battlefield, they might not even have a chance to escape.

"Okay, what do you need?" Arthur knew that Alpha would not give him a sword for no reason, he must have some plan.

"It's okay. I can give you whatever I have." Arthur mistakenly thought that the other party wanted him to teach him some special skills, the so-called closed disciple.

"Master Knight Arthur, can I study your Sword of King Arthur?" Alpha actually took a fancy to the other party's sword, the real Sword of King Arthur.

"Okay, but this weapon conflicts with the power of light. You must not let it get entangled with fighting spirit, otherwise it will drain you dry." Knight Commander Arthur has given up. At least at this moment he can't see any hope.

"By the way, how much did you learn just now?" Arthur suddenly remembered this question. He wanted to know how much these young people had learned from him.

"Lord Arthur, I have learned a lot and benefited a lot." Athena, as a traditional knight, was of the same lineage as Arthur. She was very receptive to the experience Arthur taught her. She knew that these experiences were valuable treasures that had been tested in countless actual battles, so she cherished them even more.

"What about you, Alpha?" Arthur was not optimistic about Alpha, the little knight, but the person the Pope liked must have something extraordinary about him. Arthur knew that everyone had their own uniqueness, and perhaps Alpha was the one who could break the routine.

"It's a little bit inspiring." Alpha was not a traditional knight, and the skills taught by Arthur were not very useful to him, but Arthur's method of using fighting spirit benefited Alpha a lot, and he suddenly realized that the use of fighting spirit could be so flexible and varied, not just limited to traditional weapons and skills.

"What is that inspiration?" Arthur was very curious. He wanted to know what new things the young knight had realized.

"I feel that the power of the external fighting spirit has not been exerted to its limit. It is not as powerful as the low-level skill of fighting spirit entanglement." This is Alpha's feeling.

Alpha believes that although the release of Dou Qi can attack the enemy at a long distance, its suddenness and distance advantages cannot completely make up for its lack of power. In contrast, wrapping Dou Qi around weapons, especially bullets, can greatly increase the power of the bullets.

"Alpha Knight, have you ever learned the skill of using fighting spirit in the Church?" Athena frowned, and then she realized that Alpha's cognition seemed to be abnormal. She thought Alpha might have misunderstood the nature of fighting spirit, because the biggest advantage of fighting spirit is distance and suddenness, while fighting spirit entanglement is more suitable for close combat and weapon enhancement. The biggest advantage of high-level knights is that they can attack and defend, and there is no disadvantage in long-range attack.

"So how are you going to use your fighting skills?" Arthur didn't hit Alpha. After all, sometimes the more you know, the less innovation you have. He believed that everyone has their own insights and innovations, and maybe Alpha's ideas could bring about new breakthroughs.

"I plan to combine Dou Qi with the magic gun, and use Dou Qi to wrap around the bullet, thereby increasing the power of the bullet and Dou Qi." Alpha explained. He has conducted many experiments and found that this technology has a very high control over the release time of Dou Qi, and the distance, the amount of Dou Qi used, etc. all need to be precisely controlled.

In order to demonstrate his idea, Alpha used his fighting spirit to entangle the bullet and shot it at a rock in the distance. Surprisingly, this shot actually created a huge black hole, which shows how powerful this skill is.

"Your bullets are not as powerful as my attacks, and they have no practical effect at all." Athena was not optimistic about Alpha's experiment. She thought that this technology was too immature and weak when facing high-level knights.

"This skill is still in the experimental stage. The distance of the Dou Qi entanglement and the energy stored have limits. I will find a way to make the bullets entangle more Dou Qi, so that they are more powerful and can shoot farther." Of course, Alpha also knows the drawbacks and can only improve it slowly. He believes that through continuous attempts and adjustments, he will be able to find a breakthrough one day and bring this technology to a new level.

"This has no practical effect on high-level knights. You might as well focus on improving your own strength." Athena persuaded again. In her opinion, instead of wasting time on a seemingly unrealistic idea, it is better to focus on improving personal ability, which is the key to truly improving combat effectiveness.

"What if a hundred or a thousand weapons are used at the same time?" Alpha proposed a bold idea - to use magic gun technology on a large scale. He believed that a single magic gun might not be enough to cause fatal damage, but if thousands of magic guns were fired at the same time, it would be enough to change the situation of the battle. Although this idea sounds crazy, it is also an innovative idea.

"If it were me, I wouldn't even give you a chance to get close." Athena and Alpha's ideas seemed to conflict, and neither of them could convince the other. As an experienced warrior, Athena prefers direct and effective solutions; while for Alpha, who is full of curiosity and courage to explore unknown areas, every failure is an important step towards success.

"And I'm also going to wrap the power of discipline around the bullet, which will further increase the power of the weapon." Alpha did not give up his original intention because of Athena's doubts, but instead became more determined to continue his in-depth research. He hoped to create a more powerful means of attack by combining the power of different attributes.

"You are wasting your time. It won't do anything." Although Athena repeatedly objected, Alpha was not shaken. He knew that there would always be many difficulties to overcome on the road of scientific exploration. Only by unremitting efforts can the dream in his heart be realized.
