I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 316: The City is Broken, Darkness Comes



Chapter 316: The City is Broken, Darkness Comes

"Lord Alpha, the bolts of the city gates have broken on a large scale, and there are cracks on the city gates." Gilliana's news made Alpha's scalp tingle. He knew very well that the situation was very bad under such circumstances. The city gate was the last line of defense of the city. Once it was breached, the entire city would fall under the enemy's iron hoof.

"Pile up all the bodies as materials at the city gate." Alpha calmly gave the order. At this moment, there were no extra stones in the city. After all, these were supplies to stop the enemy and had already been carried to the city wall. They had to use all available resources to reinforce the city gate and resist the enemy's attack.

"Leave it to us, Lord Alpha." Graya had already piled up a two-meter-high human wall at the city gate.

These human walls were built with the corpses of the enemy. Although cruel, they had no choice at this critical moment. However, the cracks on it happened to be right here, and the situation was very dangerous. If the enemy launched another attack, this human wall would probably not be able to withstand their impact.

With a loud bang, the city gate finally gave in and was violently destroyed by the enemy. Even the two-meter human wall was flattened by half a meter, and a large number of enemies began to rush in. They were like a flood of beasts. Once they poured into the city, they would destroy and kill at will.

"I'll guard the city gate, you guys pile up on both sides to block the enemy." Alpha could only pick up his spear and charge into the city gate again. He waved his spear and repelled the enemies one by one. At the same time, the knights around him also raised their spears to Alpha to block the enemies on both sides. They worked closely together to form an indestructible line of defense.

However, the enemy was numerous and they kept attacking the city gates and the human wall. Every impact was terrifying, as if they would be breached by the enemy in the next moment. However, Alpha and his knights did not retreat. They firmly guarded the city and swore to defend their homeland.

At this moment, Alpha was like a god of war, nailed to the table at the gate. His figure on the battlefield seemed extremely firm, as if he was an insurmountable barrier. Whenever an enemy came in, he would knock him down; whenever a group of enemies came in, he would repel them like a storm. Alpha was like a machine that never stopped, and every time he swung his spear, it was with a thunderous force that frightened the enemy.

However, just when the battle was at its most intense, a huge flying log suddenly hit Alpha, who was completely unprepared, like a giant hammer falling from the sky.

The huge impact force caused Alpha to lose control of his body instantly, and he was violently knocked away. His body drew a long arc in the air, and finally crashed heavily into the ruins in the distance. In the dust, his life or death was uncertain.

"Lord Alpha!" Gilliana and the others were horrified when they saw this, and rushed to where Alpha was. In their hearts, Alpha was not only their leader, but also the soul and pillar of the entire team. As long as Alpha was still there, they still had hope to continue fighting; if Alpha fell, then everything would become meaningless.

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, something unexpected happened - Alpha stubbornly climbed up from the ruins! Although the enemy's attack made him dizzy, he knew that he couldn't fall down now. Every moment was a test of life and a persistence for future victory. So, he endured the severe pain, grasped the spear in his hand again, and rushed to the battlefield again.

Facing the two huge and aggressive werewolves at the city gate, Alpha realized that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined. These two wolf kings were not only powerful, but also extremely intelligent. It was impossible for one person to compete with them.

However, even so, Alpha had no intention of backing down. He knew that only by withstanding all the pressure could he buy more time for his teammates and possibly turn the situation around. Therefore, even if the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, he was not afraid to face the difficulties and was ready to meet the new round of challenges.

"Alpha, Alpha." With this call, the knights and civilians around him had hope in their eyes, and they watched the battle between Alpha and the two wolf kings. As a knight of the Holy See, Alpha seemed to feel an unprecedented power surge into his body, a power that surpassed himself, which quickly repaired his injured body and gradually strengthened his strength.

Perhaps all this was just an illusion, or perhaps it was the help of some unknown force, but in any case, Alpha had no intention of running away. He stood firmly on the ground like an unshakable statue, firm and resolute.

Finally, the word "kill" came out of Alpha's mouth, marking the end of the time of the power of silence. At this moment, Alpha took the initiative to attack, and the powerful force penetrated his spear, instantly bursting out with earth-shaking energy fluctuations.

Although the wolf king in front accurately grabbed Alpha's spear, he could not withstand the huge force and was knocked away directly; the other wolf king behind had no time to react and was also knocked back by the shock wave.

However, this was the limit of what Alpha could do at the moment. Although both wolf kings were successfully repelled, they did not suffer fatal injuries. On the contrary, Alpha had exhausted all his remaining strength and could only stand still, staring at the other party vigilantly to prevent being attacked again.

At this moment, Gilliana's voice suddenly rang out: "Lord Alpha, Lady Athena has ordered us to retreat! The North Gate and the West Gate have been lost. There is no point in us staying in the South City." She said anxiously.

Hearing this, Alpha took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "Okay, you guys take the wounded back to the city first, I will catch up as soon as possible."

Although Alpha's legs were starting to weaken and he could barely support his own weight, he still insisted on not letting anyone see his weakness, because he knew that only in this way could he ensure that the exhausted and wounded knights behind him could evacuate safely and avoid becoming the target of the Wolf King's pursuit.

Looking at the knights' receding backs, Alpha finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed his tense nerves. However, this peace did not last long, as a creepy roar broke the silence of the night sky, followed by the werewolf's extremely fast killing charge.

Faced with this sudden change, Alpha's heart tightened. He no longer cared about maintaining a brave and fearless attitude. He immediately turned around without hesitation and fled in the opposite direction at the fastest speed. He knew very well that in front of such a powerful enemy, the only most important goal was survival.

The moonlight was like silver, falling on the dark city, covering the land with a mysterious veil. Alpha ran on the road, and the stone slabs under his feet made a rustling sound, as if cheering him up. His heartbeat was as intense as thunder, and every breath was quick and uneasy.

The roaring sound behind him was getting closer and closer. Alpha did not dare to slack off. He knew that werewolves had an extremely sharp sense of smell. If they were caught up, the consequences would be disastrous. Alpha tried his best to speed up his pace, trying to get rid of these terrible pursuers.

Finally, Alpha was blocked at the edge of the city, with a battlefield of chaos and fire ahead. The two powerful wolf kings were leading the way, their eyes full of the flames of revenge. They had just been repelled by Alpha with amazing courage and skills, and now they were back, vowing to regain their lost dignity and face.

At this moment, survival became Alpha's only thought. However, the situation was extremely grim: the two wolf kings would obviously not let him go easily, and behind them were a group of wolf pack members who were also eager for revenge.

Facing such an enemy, Alpha knew that it would be difficult to escape unscathed by his own strength, but he did not choose to retreat. After taking a deep breath, Alpha picked up the long sword that had accompanied him through countless difficult moments from the ground, held it tightly in his hand, and prepared to meet the challenge.

At the same time, the entire city had fallen into chaos. In the distance, there were constant shouts of killing and the roar of buildings collapsing; nearby, blazing flames illuminated the night sky, making the surroundings as bright as day.

It can be imagined that in this ancient and beautiful town, an unprecedented war is taking place - both humans and other creatures are fighting to the last moment to protect their homes.

The air was filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder and blood, which made people feel depressed and desperate. But even so, there were still many people like Alpha who bravely stood up and protected this land with their lives.

……

With a loud bang, Alpha's body was directly knocked away by the wolf king's huge power. His body drew a long arc in the air, and finally crashed through the walls of several houses, instantly destroying those fragile structures. Bricks and stones were scattered, dust flew, and the whole scene seemed like a catastrophic destruction. In the end, Alpha fell heavily in the ruins, his body covered with scars and blood, motionless.

The wolf king leaped and leaped a hundred meters to where Alpha fell. Its movements were agile and powerful, and every step showed unparalleled strength and speed. After arriving at Alpha's side, the wolf king found the man covered in blood and whose face could not be distinguished in the ruins. The wolf king directly grabbed the man's head with his sharp claws, and it seemed that he did not want to crush him to death directly, but planned to slowly torture this once powerful opponent.

The wolf king carefully grasped Alpha's head and slammed it hard on the ground. Every impact was accompanied by the sound of broken bones, but surprisingly, the blood man did not react at all, and no human screams could be heard. This silence made the wolf king angry and frustrated, so he decided not to waste any more time, and directly tore off the other's head and swallowed it into his stomach.

The remaining people in East City and North City originally thought that these werewolves who suddenly appeared were their saviors. For several days, they had been fighting with the knights and suffered heavy losses. However, when they saw the werewolves killing the knights, the streets suddenly cheered and people flocked to the streets to celebrate the victory.

However, the reality is far more cruel than imagined. The werewolves are not their saviors, but treat these innocent humans as food. One by one, the survivors are torn apart and devoured by the werewolves. The scene is horrible. The surviving people have no idea why it has become like this: the knights hunt them down as aliens, and the werewolves do not regard them as their own kind at all. Under this double oppression, people's hopes are gradually shattered, and fear and despair shroud the entire city.

"Lord Alpha, I'm so glad you're okay." Gilliana stood at the entrance of the underground space, looking forward to it, and finally saw the figure she had been waiting for. Tears flashed in her eyes, but she was more relieved.

"I'm fine, hurry down, it's too dangerous here." Alpha walked carefully all the way, not daring to provoke those werewolves, even if they were just ordinary werewolves. Every step he took seemed extremely cautious, as if every inch of land under his feet was full of unknown dangers.

It turned out that when Alpha was knocked away by the Wolf King, he found a body in the ruins to replace himself, and used this body to successfully confuse the angry Wolf King. The Wolf King was so angry that he could not tell what the enemy he had captured was, which gave Alpha a chance to escape. He took advantage of the Wolf King's attention being diverted and quickly fled the battlefield and came to this relatively safe underground space.

"Lord Alpha, your armor." Gilliana looked at the dents on Alpha's chest and back armor, which showed how fierce the battle had just been. She reached out her hand distressedly, wanting to help Alpha take off the heavy equipment, but found that he was unable to do it by himself.

"Small problem, we'll go down immediately." Alpha also felt the discomfort caused by the deformation and squeezing of the armor, but he was more concerned about the situation outside. He knew that time was running out and he had to take action as soon as possible.

"Lord Alpha, what's the situation outside?" Graia looked outside anxiously, feeling uneasy. She wanted to know what had happened to cause such a brutal battle to suddenly break out between the two races that had been living in peace.

"Werewolves attack indiscriminately. The people of North City have been slaughtered by them." Alpha had just escaped from North City, which is still a living hell. His voice was low and heavy, and every word was like a huge rock pressing on everyone's heart.

"How is it possible? We originally lived in peace, and the people of the North City did not betray us. How could they kill us?" Some people among the people recognized the dark werewolves, but they joined the knights only under pressure. This news shocked and unbelievable them.

"No, you have all been deceived. Those werewolves have been treating us as food. Anyone who wants to leave the human world will be robbed and killed by them." At this time Barutus stood up. His voice was firm and powerful, trying to convince everyone present to accept this cruel fact.

"How is that possible? Just because you have joined the knights, you treat our companions as enemies. I despise you." Someone stood up to refute Barutus' words, and emotionally accused him of betraying his compatriots.

"You want the truth, then I'll show it to you." Barutus knew that many people did not believe what he said, but he had the evidence in his hands.
