I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 291: Surviving a near-death experience and continuing the mission

"That's because you are too weak. You have no idea how powerful I am. I just hid my strength. Why don't you surrender, you beast?" Alpha said coldly, his voice full of unquestionable confidence.

He held the broken sword in one hand and placed the other hand behind his back, seemingly at ease, but in fact, he was already at his limit. Alpha's left hand was severely injured and could no longer withstand any force.

In that attack just now, Alpha used the power of disciplined silence, which is an extremely powerful force. He gathered the power for twenty minutes and increased it more than twenty times. The power of this attack has surpassed Athena and reached an incredible level.

However, this does not mean that Alpha's strength has surpassed Athena. It is just an advantage in strength. If the wolf king can dodge this attack, then Alpha will be helpless.

At this moment, Alpha needs to recharge his power, which will take at least five minutes, and he can only charge five times as much.

The wolf king felt a chill coming over him. He knew that his injuries were very serious. If he didn't recover quickly, his life would be in danger.

However, Alpha did not give him any chance to breathe. He threw away the broken sword, took out the magic gun and reloaded the bullets to shoot. The wolf king knew that he had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

At this tense and dangerous moment, the wolf king began to think about how to deal with Alpha's attack. He knew that his injuries were serious, but he also knew that he could not give up. He began to look for opportunities to counterattack, hoping to find a flaw to defeat Alpha.

At the same time, Alpha was waiting for the wolf king's reaction. He knew that his attack had already caused the wolf king to suffer a heavy blow, but he also knew that the wolf king would not give up easily. Therefore, he remained vigilant and prepared to respond to the wolf king's counterattack at any time.

In this tense atmosphere, both of them were looking for opportunities to launch an attack. They both knew that the outcome of this battle would determine their fate. Whether it was the Alpha or the Wolf King, they were unwilling to give up this battle easily.

The Wolf King could clearly feel the flow of the other party's fighting spirit in his body at this moment. It could be said that the other party's fighting spirit was still decreasing, but the powerful force just now was not fake.

As he was thinking, the Wolf King's momentum weakened. He began to doubt his own judgment. Did he overestimate this opponent? Or did this opponent have some hidden power that he could not detect?

"Die, beast." During the chase, Alpha suddenly accelerated, and at this moment he even gave up the magic gun. Alpha only used his fists to chase the wolf king. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Asshole, you're dead." The humiliated wolf king gave up his plan to escape and chose to fight Alpha head-on. His body instantly burst into a strong energy wave, preparing for the upcoming battle.

"Oh my god." Alpha thought to himself, this is terrible. Alpha is just pretending. It's only been ten minutes, and Alpha's power of silence has only accumulated ten times the power. He knew that his chances of winning were slim, but he couldn't back down, so he had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

"Kill!" The bravest of the two will win. Alpha also forgot the time. At this moment, either the wolf king will die or Alpha will die. Their eyes met, as if they were both saying, "Come on, let's fight to the death!"

Although the power of this blow was not as destructive as the previous one, this time it was a pure collision between fists. Alpha's fist seemed to hit an extremely hard steel plate. The huge impact force made his entire arm feel unprecedented pain, and his bones and fingers seemed to be broken and shattered at this moment.

However, facing such severe pain, Alpha did not intend to retreat. He knew that now was not the time to retreat, even if it meant sacrificing one of his arms, he would fully release this power.

"Die, you beast." With a roar, Alpha concentrated all his remaining energy on his right fist. His eyes were full of determination and indomitable spirit. At this moment, his momentum reached its peak.

The wolf king was intimidated by this strong mental pressure, and its original counterattack became much slower. In just a moment, Alpha had broken through the wolf king's defense and threw a final punch with all his strength. This punch directly hit the center of the wolf king's body, knocking him out instantly. The wolf king drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, then rolled several times before finally stopping.

During the whole process, the air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. The heavy atmosphere gradually dissipated until the wolf king fell to the ground and stopped moving.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The wolf king climbed up from the ground in a panic, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth unstoppably. It was obvious that his internal organs were severely injured.

The Wolf King couldn't believe that the man in front of him could defeat him so easily. During the first fight, perhaps the other party used some special ability, but what about the second time?

The opponent's internal fighting spirit has not decreased much, which means that he can continue to use that terrible power, and this kind of power is simply not something the Wolf King can withstand.

"Beast, let me see how many more punches you can withstand." Alpha continued to walk slowly towards the wolf king with his arms behind his back, a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Faced with such a provocation, the wolf king was filled with anger and unwillingness. He knew that if he continued to fight, he would only suffer more serious injuries or even death. So, at the last moment, the wolf king chose to retreat. He took the fat werewolf beside him and quickly fled the battlefield.

"Just wait, human, I won't let you go!" The wolf king let out a final roar while running away, his voice full of hatred and oath. However, at this moment, he was no longer able to fight against Alpha, and could only temporarily endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity to take revenge in the future.

After the wolf king and the fat werewolf disappeared from sight, Athena finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell down helplessly. Her tense nerves relaxed instantly, as if all the fatigue and pain had burst out at this moment. Her breathing was rapid and heavy, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her face was as pale as paper.

Although Alpha also felt unprecedented fatigue, his body seemed to be suffocated by the heavy burden, and every inch of muscle longed for rest. How he wished he could sit down, or even lie down, close his eyes, and let his consciousness immerse in endless darkness until the end of time. However, he knew that this was an impossible luxury.

Alpha forced himself to stay awake and alert. He could not relax at all. Although the wolf king had left, Alpha could not be sure whether the other party had really given up the pursuit or just retreated temporarily and waited for a better time to attack again. In this uncertain situation, any hesitation and relaxation could have fatal consequences.

Therefore, Alpha gritted his teeth and used all his strength to stand firm, scanning the surrounding environment with a firm gaze, and his ears pricked up to capture any possible movement. He knew that only by maintaining a high degree of vigilance and calmness could he ensure the safety of himself and Athena. In this forest full of unknowns and dangers, they must be prepared to deal with any situation that may arise at any time.

Alpha first walked leisurely to visit Athena. Although his arms were now powerless and it would be difficult to get up if he fell, he had to make sure everything was safe. He knew very well that at this critical moment, any small mistake could have fatal consequences.

"Lady Athena, please wake up." Alpha used the remaining fighting spirit to activate the Hymn of Light to heal Athena's injured body.

For Alpha, the treatment of fractures and skin injuries are two different things. Treating fractures requires a lot of time and energy. Treating himself in the current situation is not worth the effort, so he decided to take care of Athena first.

With Alpha's treatment, Athena's wounds slowly healed, but her face was still pale. After all, she had lost too much blood, and it was a miracle that she could wake up.

"Alpha, where are they? We must leave immediately and rush to the battlefield." Even at this time, Athena was still thinking about the battlefield in the distance. Although her voice was weak, it was full of firmness and determination.

"Lady Athena, what's the point of us going there like this? Should we just give up?" Alpha still didn't want to get involved in the battle. After all, that was not what he expected. He hoped to find a safe place to rest and recuperate.

"No, this is our only hope." Athena was stubborn and unwilling to give up. After all, this was related to her own goal. "We have just stepped out of the initial stage. We must rely on the Holy See to quickly improve our strength. After this time, I don't know when we will have the next chance."

Athena called for her warhorse, but the dark night sky was empty. Without the warhorse, it would be almost impossible for them to travel 200 kilometers in one night. But even if they had to walk, Athena would not give up. Her eyes revealed a spirit of perseverance.

"We have no other options now, Lady Athena." Alpha looked at the stubborn Athena and comforted her distressedly. He knew that no matter how difficult it was, Athena would not give up easily.

"I know you want to leave the Church, but the Church is not as good as you imagined." Athena said helplessly, "My mother was also a Knight of Discipline, and my father only used her as a tool for reproduction. They squeezed my mother's abilities and everything about her into my body bit by bit, and my mother died from being squeezed bit by bit."

Athena's voice was a little choked, but she continued, "Before my mother died, she didn't ask me to take revenge, she wanted me to become stronger and survive. In the Church, only strength can decide everything, no matter what your background is."

"If you want to leave the Church, you must have absolute strength. Otherwise, they will not let you go no matter where you are. When you are no longer useful, they will summon you back to the Church. What can you do to stop them? Alpha, don't be so naive. The technology and power you possess cannot save you. It will be easy for the Church to capture you."

Alpha knew that what Athena said was true. He had been hiding his head like a coward. As long as he developed technology slowly, everything would change in the end.

However, the high-ranking knights of the Holy See have completely surpassed the scope of humans, and Alpha is not sure whether his weapons can cause enough damage to them.

This experience of dealing with the Wolf King made him deeply aware of the limitations of technology. As long as he could not develop enough technological civilization in his lifetime, he had to improve his own strength.

Alpha took a deep breath. He knew that the road ahead was full of challenges and difficulties, but he also understood that only by constantly working hard to improve himself could he survive in this cruel world.

"Lady Athena, I understand. No matter how difficult the task is, I will accompany you to complete it." Alpha's tone revealed firm determination, as if he had foreseen the difficulties and obstacles ahead, but still did not back down.

"Lady Athena, Knight Strong and the others are all unconscious. We have to rescue them quickly." Seeing that Athena had recovered some spirit, Alpha immediately turned to the other injured companions and prepared to start treatment.

"We need war horses, let's prepare them now." Athena's voice was calm and decisive. She knew that being a guard knight was a heavy responsibility, and it was her duty even if it meant sacrifice.

"I'll take care of the warhorse. Lady Athena, you save the people first." Alpha blew a whistle, and a burst of hurried horse hooves came from the distance - that was the sound of his warhorse, Shadow, approaching rapidly.

However, the other three horses were missing, which made the situation a little tricky. However, Alpha did not give up hope and asked Jiying to find the missing horses. Jiying seemed to understand his master's intention and disappeared into the night after a light snort.

At this time, the remaining fighting spirit in Athena's body was obviously much more than that of Alpha. She first performed simple hemostatic treatment on Strong, who was the most seriously injured, and then hurried to find another knight named Guns.

Just as everyone was busy with the rescue, a faint voice suddenly rang out: "Save me... Please save me..." This voice did not come from Gunns, but from a woman who had been abandoned by the wolf king before. Despite the extremely low temperature, almost reaching minus ten degrees Celsius, the woman was still alive and crawling forward with difficulty.

Faced with such a situation, Athena just glanced at the woman coldly, and did not stop to help her. In her opinion, in such an emergency, taking care of such a powerless person would only waste precious time and resources.

"Lady Athena, I found Gunns hiding in the rocks over there. You go rescue him and I'll take care of things here."
