I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 371 Tactical Arrangements

"At the same time, I decided to set up a rescue team called the Knights of Light." Alpha's voice echoed in the tent, steady and powerful. "Jones will be the leader. I will assist her in forming the team and filling in the members. By then, we will have a team dedicated to treatment, and the survival rate of our veterans will be greatly improved." There was a sharp flash in Alpha's eyes. He would not let these people from the Holy See of Light sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. He would let them shine in their respective areas of expertise and contribute to the entire team.

Not only that, Alpha also formed another magic knight group, with Elisa from the Magic Church as the leader, of course Alpha did not say it explicitly. After all, the hatred between the Magic Church and the Holy See of Light is long-standing and deeply rooted, like an insurmountable gap.

In order to avoid conflicts between the magicians and the Church, which would affect the unity and combat effectiveness of the entire team, Alpha took great pains to arrange the Magic Knights at sea to act together with Lilia's navy. In this way, the contact between them was reduced to a minimum, thus effectively maintaining harmony and stability within the team, allowing each team to perform their tasks at ease in their respective positions.

"During the time I'm away, Tasli will command the military, and all government affairs will be handed over to Princess Farah." Alpha's eyes fell firmly on Tasli, full of trust and expectations. "Next, Farah and Tasli will stay, and the rest of the personnel will go back and wait for arrangements." After that, Alpha arranged all the deployments and asked Farah and Tasli to conduct the final tactical discussions and arrangements.

Alpha deeply understands that in the cruel game of war, precise deployment and excellent command are the key to victory. He is confident in Tasli's ability. Tasli has accumulated rich experience in past battles, has a deep understanding and unique insights into various tactics, and can always keenly capture opportunities and make correct decisions on the battlefield. Alpha firmly believes that Tasli's military talent will shine in the next battle and bring more chances of victory to the team.

The presence of Fayana is also of great significance. As a Greek princess, she has extremely high popularity and prestige in this land, and the people love her very much. She is not only familiar with the local customs and practices, but also has extensive personal connections. Fayana's presence provides a bridge for the team to communicate with the local people, which can better win the hearts of the people and gain more support. Her collaboration with Tasli is like the tight meshing of gears, which can make the entire military operation more coordinated and smooth, and various tasks can be carried out in an orderly manner.

The return and waiting arrangements of the remaining personnel are also a carefully designed part of Alpha's overall strategic layout. Such an arrangement not only maintains the flexibility and adaptability of the team, but also leaves more time and space for Alpha and the remaining personnel, allowing them to calm down and carefully plan and prepare for the final critical stage. In the ever-changing battlefield, the more preparation, the more chance of winning.

It is worth mentioning that every decision in a military operation is like walking on the edge of a cliff, full of uncertainty and risk. Alpha must be like an experienced chess player, considering all possible situations and variables in advance, so that he can adapt to the situation on the battlefield and make timely and accurate adjustments to ensure that the team always moves towards victory.

"Remember, our strategic goal is the Irus region in the northwest, and we must expand our sphere of influence to western Macedonia and western Greece." Alpha's eyes revealed his desire for territorial expansion, but he also knew clearly that his military strength had reached its limit and every action must be carried out with extreme caution.

Alpha was thinking in his mind, preparing to shrink the existing territory. The current territory was too scattered, like a pile of loose sand, and it was impossible to concentrate on major tasks. If he continued to expand blindly on the Greek territory, the troops would be further dispersed, and it would be difficult to maintain effective defense, let alone achieve strategic goals.

"Lord Alpha, what is the priority of our mission?" There was a gleam of curiosity in Farana's eyes. She knew Alpha's strategic plan very well, and was eager to understand the importance of these three areas in the overall strategic layout.

"Western Macedonia will be the core of our next stage." Alpha's voice was low and firm, "But our superior forces should be deployed in the Irus area to prevent being cut off by the enemy. You should focus on developing the Irus area, which will become our solid rear area. At the same time, we must vigorously develop industry, and soon this place will be prosperous. In addition, pay attention to absorbing local people, they will be our important support force." Alpha emphasized again, and the real reason he did not say it clearly was that there was an energy mine in Western Macedonia, which was a key resource for his long-term development, and he must open this mine.

In order to achieve this goal, Alpha knew that a detailed and thorough battle plan was needed. First, it was necessary to ensure the safety of the Irus region, strengthen fortifications there, send elite troops to garrison, and turn it into an indestructible fortress. Secondly, it was necessary to promote expansion in Western Macedonia in an orderly manner, establish cooperative relations with local forces, and gradually expand its influence through political, economic and other means. At the same time, it was also necessary to keep an eye on the dynamics of Western Greece, pay close attention to the actions of other forces, and avoid being interfered with and challenged by them.

"Lord Alpha, when are you planning to leave?" There was a hint of reluctance and expectation in Farana's eyes. She knew that Alpha had a heavy responsibility, but now they had almost nothing and were in the most difficult time. She earnestly hoped that Alpha could stay and give them more assistance and support.

"It's hard to determine at the moment." Alpha frowned slightly, with an embarrassment on his face. "I will escort you to the Irus area, and then I will move into the Western Macedonia area. If there is enough time, I will try to occupy this area; if time is tight, then I can only leave it to you." Alpha knew in his heart that his current strength was weak and he could not easily go to war with any party. He could only endure for the time being, quietly accumulate strength, and seek development.

"You guys go back and rest first! We must set off immediately tomorrow." There was a hint of fatigue in Alpha's voice, but more of it was firmness and determination. He knew that time was running out, every minute and every second was extremely precious, and there was no room for delay.

The night was dark, and the candlelight in the tent flickered, illuminating the faces of Alpha and Farana. Alpha gently embraced Farana, gently stroked her hair with his fingers, and said softly: "Farana, what are your plans for your country? Do you want to become the queen, or do you have other ideas?" As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, looked at the night sky through the gap in the tent, and his thoughts drifted to the future of Greece.

Greece has had a difficult fate in history. In the 15th century, it was annexed by the Ottoman Empire and struggled under long-term oppression until the 19th century when it broke away from rule and established a kingdom. Then, in the 20th century, it entered a republic through a referendum. Now, in the late 17th century and early 18th century, Alpha is full of worries. He really can't figure out whether the Greek resistance movement will succeed. The future is full of fog.

"Lord Alpha, I don't know." Farana leaned on Alpha's chest, her rapid breathing gradually calmed down, her voice carrying a hint of confusion and helplessness, "I have been wandering around with my family since I was a child. I have never had a real home, nor have I felt a sense of belonging. In the end, I was robbed by those bandits. I really don't have any impression of my country, and I don't have much affection for its people." She raised her head slightly, her eyes full of loss. Although she was a Greek princess and had received education in all aspects since childhood, the knowledge in books was far less profound than her personal experience. In her memory, there was no prosperity of her motherland, only endless wandering and suffering.

"Lord Alpha, it's up to you to decide! I am willing to follow you all my life." Fayana's eyes revealed determination and dependence. The hardships she had experienced along the way had long made her lose the idea of ​​becoming a queen. Now, she only longed for a stable support and to find peace in this troubled world.

"Well, when we get to Irus, let Grand Duke Hilma handle it." Alpha nodded gently, his expression calm, "We should not act under the banner of liberation, and declare to the outside world that we will abide by the agreement, continue to support the orthodox rule and management, and pay tribute and taxes on time." He knew in his heart that the current situation was complicated and his strength was still weak, so he must not become the target of public criticism. It was the best policy to keep a low profile. As for who was the orthodox, there were many ways to do it. Alpha did not intend to explain it at this moment. Some things only needed to be understood in one's heart.

"Okay, Lord Alpha. What about the common people?" Farana frowned slightly, a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes. Although she did not have much feelings for the common people, she could not help but feel moved when she saw the tragic situation of countless people displaced.

"Work-for-relief is a feasible strategy." Alpha looked deep and said slowly, "At present, Albania is actively carrying out railway construction. We can make use of their strength to jointly promote this project. In this way, it will not only speed up the progress of railway construction, but also provide employment opportunities for local people, so that they can earn a living with dignity. In addition, after the situation in the Irus region stabilizes, mining work in various mines will also be gradually launched, which will undoubtedly require a large number of labor forces and can further solve the employment problem." Alpha made plans in an orderly manner according to the actual situation.

However, considering that winter is approaching, the development of agriculture in Greece faces many difficulties. The land is covered with frost, seeds are difficult to germinate, and crops grow slowly or even fail to survive. In this case, other ways must be found to ensure the livelihood of the people and the development of the region. Otherwise, the people will fall into the plight of hunger and cold, and the entire region will fall into turmoil.

Fayana has rich experience and expertise in these areas. She gently held Alpha's hand and said firmly: "I will do my best to take charge of the relevant work." Alpha looked at her with trust and expectation in his eyes. He believed that with Fayana's efforts, various undertakings in Greece will be smoothly promoted and people's lives will gradually improve. At the same time, everyone will actively explore other industries and projects suitable for winter, and find new growth points for the sustainable development of Greece, such as developing handmade manufacturing and indoor breeding, so that this land that has experienced vicissitudes will regain vitality.

The light of dawn spread over the earth like a veil. When humans were still immersed in the most sleepy dreams, Alpha yawned and led all the people quietly to the vicinity of Grand Duke Hilma's manor. Due to the large number of people accompanying them and the lack of supplies, Alpha weighed the pros and cons and decided to take the supplies in the manor before leaving to solve the urgent problem.

"Be careful to hide, adopt the tactics of divide and encircle, and enter the manor after controlling the personnel." Alpha looked solemn and gave the final instructions in a low voice. Although his voice was light, it revealed unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, sir." Everyone responded in unison. Except for the Second Knights, who were mutants and cyborgs and were not suitable for participating in this operation, the rest of the personnel quickly entered combat status. Among them, the Sixth Freedom Knights were responsible for blocking possible support forces from the periphery to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

Following the order, all the knights took advantage of the darkness before dawn and approached the manor quickly like ghosts. Their steps were light and firm, their movements were agile and decisive, and under the cover of the night, they successfully entered the manor without any effort.

Even if these people got the weapons and equipment of the manor, they were just a group of unorganized and undisciplined rabble. Moreover, they had no sense of security at all. After eating and drinking, they fell asleep. Most of them did not even go to the warehouse to get weapons. They were completely defenseless. Many captured people woke up from their sleep, still bewildered, at a loss, with their eyes wide open, and had not figured out what had happened.

After entering the manor, the knights began to search every room in an orderly manner. Holding weapons, they moved forward cautiously, with slow steps, not leaving any corner untouched. However, except for the lazy people outside the manor, the manor was eerily quiet, with only a few slight noises occasionally breaking the eerie silence, as if some unknown secrets were hidden.
