I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 168 Revolutionary Army

"Sir, we have been attacking for three days and three nights, but these nobles have always held on to the South City. We have suffered heavy losses!" Barbara, who led the revolutionary army, took only three days to break into the castle and eventually occupied all areas except the South City.

However, South City is an aristocratic area with sufficient warehouses, supplies, weapons and equipment. If the revolutionary army adopts a brute force attack, it will obviously not gain any advantage and will not be able to capture it in a short time.

"How much food and supplies do we have left?" Looking at the burning Rimuru Castle, the master fell into deep thought. He realized that revolution could not be achieved with just a word or passion, but more with the torment of blood and fire. The master also frowned, knowing that this tough battle would not be easy to fight.

"Sir, we have run out of food. These are the food that the people in the city gave us. I'm afraid they don't have much left." Barbara had used all her strength in the battles over the past few days and her face was exhausted, but the fire of war in her heart had not been extinguished at all.

"I understand. Then we can only continue to attack." The adult's face was firm, and it was obvious that he would not succumb to the difficulties before him.

"Sir, can we hire some mercenaries to help us attack South City?" Magician Brian tried to persuade the lord.

"Hire mercenaries?" The adult was full of doubts.

"When the chaos broke out in the city, those mercenaries all ran away, leaving no one behind. Where can we find them?" A revolutionary said angrily.

"Sir, I know where they are. They are in Lock Town. We met them when we came here and almost had a fight." It turned out that during the attack on Rimuru Castle, Barbara and his group encountered Lock Town on the way and almost had a conflict with the mercenaries.

The adult didn't say anything and seemed to be in deep thought.

"Sir, these mercenaries are vampires. They fight for money. We don't have to rely on them to defeat these vampire nobles." Someone objected.

"Sir, our losses are too great. Those people are our brothers and sisters. Are we going to disregard our brothers' lives just for money?" Someone agreed.

"Revolution means abandoning the old customs and welcoming the light. How can we go along with the old forces? And we have nothing, how can we hire mercenaries?"

"Sir, we can use the nobles' things to hire mercenaries, and then turn our backs on them after the mission is accomplished. After all, they are also our enemies." Conflicts and different opinions arose within the revolutionary army. They only knew that they had to work together to fight against the foreign enemies, but they didn't know who the real enemy was.

"My lord, there are indeed real knights among those mercenaries. Not only do they never harass the people, they also help the people maintain order and clean up. In comparison, these are the real knight mercenaries I have ever seen." Magician Brian's tone revealed disappointment. He thought these people would do anything for the lives of the people, but now they are fighting among themselves.

"There are no such things as knights. They are all liars." Everyone pointed their fingers at Brian.

"Maybe you haven't seen it with your own eyes, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Why don't you go back and take a look and you'll know?" Brian had a sad face and didn't argue. He just retreated silently under the accusations of everyone.

"Continue the attack. I don't believe these nobles don't need to rest." The lord said.

The adult's order was almost crazy, which made the revolutionary army on the front line a little puzzled, but they could only obey orders.

"A true warrior dares to face the blood." The adult commanded the warriors to launch round after round of attack.

However, the leaders of the revolutionary army did not know that at this time, in the meeting room of the revolutionary army on the front line, the military advisor angrily crushed the teacup, and the generals looked at each other, at a loss. They only knew that the adults' orders were death orders and must be executed.

After the general calmed down, he issued an order: "Tell the nobles in the city that we are going to launch a general attack and ask them to be prepared. If they do not surrender, they will be killed without mercy." The generals stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

The general looked out the window and murmured to himself: "The battle is almost over, and the rule of the aristocracy is about to return." It can be seen that the general was not optimistic about this revolution.

The nobles on the city wall also received the news and took up their weapons, preparing for the final decisive battle. This battle has lasted too long, and both sides are exhausted. Now is the moment of the decisive battle.

The revolutionary army stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge towards the city walls, shouting hoarse slogans with determination in their eyes. They were willing to pay any price to achieve the adults' goal.

The nobles did not show any weakness either, brandishing their weapons and hacking at the revolutionary army. Their eyes were cold and merciless.

The long tug-of-war between the revolutionary army and the noble army finally came to an end, and they decided to decide their own fate in this war. The revolutionary army launched a fierce attack on the city gate, while the noble army relied on the solid city walls and sophisticated equipment to resist stubbornly.

The battle continued until the next morning. When the lord inspected the front line, he saw wounded soldiers all over the ground and heard that the morale of the revolutionary army was low, so he decided to suspend the attack and choose to meet with the mercenary knights.

The revolutionary army temporarily retreated, and the noble army roared in victory, but they knew that if they went out of the city to fight, they would face great danger, because the revolutionary army did not care about the safety of their lives. The city wall changed hands several times, and if the revolutionary army had not lacked suitable weapons and equipment, I am afraid that the city gate would have been breached long ago.

However, when the adults arrived at Locke Town and saw several bodies hanging in the camp, their faces were solemn. In sharp contrast, the faces of the people in the city were full of laughter, and the victims were also full of satisfied smiles.

"Brother, they are hanging the bodies on the trees, aren't you afraid?" Barbara has always disliked mercenaries, and now seeing this scene, she is even more disgusted.

"Of course we're not afraid. Those people are bad guys who harass and blackmail us. They insult women, rob and kill our relatives. If it weren't for Lord Apollo, we wouldn't be able to survive. Moreover, Apollo also provides porridge to help us, and we can't thank him enough." Barbara was puzzled until the fifth citizen said the same thing, and then she realized that it was all true.

"All actions must be carried out under command; not a single needle or thread from the masses must be taken; all spoils must be returned to the public; we are all brothers and sisters, we must speak in a friendly manner; trade fairly; borrowed items must be returned; damaged items must be compensated; no hitting or scolding of others; no damage to crops; no molesting of women; no abuse of prisoners." The training slogans came from the military camp, and the loud voices cut through the silence of the sky. This made the adults' eyes light up, this was their ideal army.

Although this army is not yet fully formed, its morale is high and its spirits are full, as if a sleeping lion has awakened. The adults are very excited. They thought that the army they had always dreamed of would only appear in their dreams, but they didn't expect it to appear here!

"Brother, is there anything you can do? Are you here to join the army?" The reception guard at the gate of the military camp came forward enthusiastically.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the line of soldiers was very long, and the line behind the guards was getting bigger and bigger. Although the guards were busy, they behaved properly and were enthusiastic, which made the two adults admire them.

"How can you talk like that? This is an adult." Barbara complained with a frown.

"Captain Apollo said that all of us are brothers and sisters. Except on the battlefield or in terms of military rank, we should get along like brothers and sisters at other times, without distinction and loving each other." The guard replied with admiration on his face.

"Captain Apollo, you can't treat us like your own mercenaries. You have no right to interfere in our affairs." Badan, the leader of the Black Dragon Mercenary Group, pointed at Apollo and cursed.

"I've said that here, everyone must obey our rules and regulations. Anyone who rapes a woman will be killed without mercy. Anyone who kills or robs people will also be killed without mercy. Even the leader will not have any special privileges." Alpha objected firmly. He would not let Badan take the mercenary who had made the mistake back.

"Sir, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Besides, I didn't succeed. Please give me a chance!" The mercenary was scared, especially when he saw the bodies hanging on the fence. They were members of the Sky Mercenary Group. He didn't expect this guy to kill without mercy. This guy obviously kept his word.

"If you don't get the victim's forgiveness, you will be killed without mercy." Alpha wanted to establish his authority and let everyone know that they cannot disobey his orders. However, for those outsiders who he could not control, Alpha's warning was not very effective.

"Girl, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again. Please let me go! I'll give you everything." In order to survive, the mercenary took out everything in his pocket.

"Sir, he didn't succeed. Please let him go." The woman couldn't bear it and chose to forgive. Seeing this, Alpha gave her a chance to reform.

"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. Go to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment." Alpha didn't necessarily want to kill people, he just wanted everyone to know his bottom line and principles.

"Girl, take your things. Be careful next time and don't go out alone." Alpha could only look at the area in front of him and could not see the dark world.

"Captain Apollo, we will follow you from now on. You will keep us safe. I believe in you." The woman hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to join the Apollo Mercenary Group and become a nurse who saves lives.

"Marching and fighting is very hard, so you will have to suffer."

"Who are you?" Looking at the men at the door and judging by their clothes, he guessed that they were not people who had joined the army.

"We are the revolutionary army." Unexpectedly, the leader would be the first to introduce himself.

"Liv, arrange a meeting room." Alpha knew that the main person had arrived, and if the other party didn't come, he would not be able to hold on any longer.

Food and supplies are running out, and the number of mercenaries has increased to one thousand. This is because Alpha deliberately limited the difficulty. In order to obtain more food and supplies, Alpha led everyone to train in the deep mountains and forests. They hunted and fished, under the guise of improving the food, but in fact the supplies were extremely scarce.

"I didn't expect Captain Apollo to be so young and promising. He is truly a young man with great potential." The adult actually praised him.

"Are you the big boss behind the revolutionary army?" Alpha asked curiously. The other party was not older than him, which made Alpha a little suspicious.

"You can't really be considered the big boss behind the scenes. You can only be considered the person who gives advice behind the scenes. After seeing the mercenaries under your command, I realized that there are always people better than you." This was a sincere compliment from the lord.

"I don't deserve it. I'm just a nobody. I don't know your name, sir. What do you want from me?"

"My name is Voltaire."
