I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 305: The Divine Splendor of Light, Guardian Knight

"Sir Knight Arthur, something bad has happened. The enemies outside the city have launched a massive attack. The knights on the city wall can no longer defend the city. They are eager for reinforcements." Grant, the communications officer, came breathlessly to report the situation. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.

"The situation of the enemy in the city is still unclear. We cannot deploy troops randomly." Arthur said after thinking for a moment, "Let 5,000 men from the Third Legion go to support the city wall immediately, and leave 5,000 men from the Second Legion to clean up the enemies in the city."

Although the exact number of losses had not yet been calculated, Arthur knew that at least five thousand brave knights had probably died here, and currently they had a maximum of fifteen thousand knights.

Currently, 10,000 knights are guarding the city walls, while another 5,000 are responsible for clearing the enemy troops in the city. In this way, they actually have no reserve forces. However, in this critical moment, they have no choice but to grit their teeth and hold on, hoping to survive the current predicament.

"Knight Arthur, perhaps we can consider activating the Light Godliness ahead of time to enhance everyone's strength." Barnes reminded quietly. There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, and he was obviously aware of the risks and costs behind this suggestion.

The Divine Light was originally intended as a reward for all participants after the mission was successful. Many knights even came to participate in the battle regardless of their lives just to gain this honor.

Once this skill is used, it will consume all their resources and can only be used once, which means that if it is used now, the knights who join the battle in the future will lose this opportunity and there will be no motivation to attract subsequent knights to come.

As long as this reward is retained, it will attract more warriors to come to support, which is like a big pie.

Hearing this, Arthur struggled in his heart. He knew that once he decided to activate the Light God, it meant giving up the hope of attracting follow-up reinforcements. But facing such a serious situation, it seemed that there was no better way.

"Okay, for victory and honor!" Arthur said firmly at last, "Use the Divine Splendor of Light immediately!"

Barnes nodded and said nothing more. At this moment, staying alive is the most important thing. As for what the future will be like, we can only wait until we get through this stage.

"What about the two little guys?" Arthur asked Barnes in a low voice, his eyes full of concern. He knew that Athena and Alpha played a huge role in the last critical moment, but their current situation was worrying.

"One is dying, and the other is in a very bad condition." Barnes' voice was heavy. He knew that Arthur was talking about Athena and Alpha. They had made great efforts in that battle, but the price was also heavy.

"That guy finally cut off his weapon, and he has no energy source." Barnes looked at Arthur with some worry. He understood that although the Light God's Aura could convert external energy into fighting spirit and preserve it, if there was no source of energy, then this conversion would lose its meaning.

Arthur was silent for a while, then looked at the light outside and made a decision in his heart: "Use my energy to replenish them."

In fact, for the Paladin, the effect of the divine light is not great, at most it can only replenish the consumed fighting spirit. But at this critical moment, maintaining strength is a vital step. Arthur knows this very well, but he is willing to use his own strength to help Athena and Alpha recover.

Barnes nodded after hearing Arthur's words. He also understood that the current situation was very serious. Once Arthur fell, their mission would fail. Therefore, he would try his best to control his energy output and leave more for Arthur to ensure that he could continue to fight.

Bathed in the miracle of the divine light, the entire city of Alman fell into an unprecedented madness.

For the Knights of Discipline, this is not only a visual feast, but also the most sacred baptism in the depths of the soul; it is just as described in the ancient legends - it can heal all wounds, purify all sins, and of course it has the side effect of converting the surrounding energy into its own strength.

However, for the dark creatures hiding in the dark or lurking on the edge of the city, it is a different picture: they feel unprecedented threats and fears, as if the whole world is rejecting their existence.

At this moment, even the enemies who were trying to break through the city wall defenses temporarily stopped their attacks, because they knew very well that although the holy light was strong, it would eventually dissipate, and then it would be their time to regain control of this land.

In this tense and unpredictable atmosphere, Alpha, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a suffocating force penetrating his body.

This force came so fast and was unstoppable that it instantly penetrated every corner of his body, from his limbs to his extraordinary meridians, leaving nothing spared.

Finally, all the gathered energies were compressed into the small space deep in the abdomen - the Qi Sea. The Qi Sea, which had been dry for a long time and had almost lost any vitality, was now surging like a long-lost flood, with huge waves that were unstoppable.

Faced with such a sudden change, the ignorant time traveler Alpha was also at a loss. He longed to guide this violent force to flow slowly into his meridians and make it a part of his strength growth, but the reality was far more complicated than he had imagined.

At this moment, he was like a lonely boat floating on the vast ocean. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not change the status quo. He could only let the raging waves push him into an unknown direction...

Just when Alpha's body was about to explode, the huge pressure suddenly slowly decreased, as if some mysterious force in the universe opened a door for him to survive at the critical moment. This sudden change gave Alpha a chance to breathe, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his violently beating heart.

However, just when Alpha relaxed a little, the powerful force entered his body again. This time, it was even more violent, almost completely crushing Alpha's will. But unlike before, this time Alpha did not choose to accept it, but decided to actively guide this force.

Alpha began to try to direct the energy in his body to those undeveloped areas, just like breaking new ground in an unknown land. In this way, Alpha hoped to create more fighting spirit to resist the pressure from the outside world. Every attempt was accompanied by great pain and risk, but he did not back down and persisted.

After this experience happened three times, it finally slowed down. When everything calmed down, Alpha slowly opened his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body. Surprisingly, the broken bones and damaged body had all been restored to their original state; and the dried-up Qi Sea had almost turned into liquid energy, filling the entire Dantian.

At this moment, Alpha realized that when all the energy was transformed from gas to liquid, it meant that he had reached the level of Silver Knight. Although he was only a senior bronze knight now, he was only one step away from becoming a silver knight.

According to the normal training speed, it would take at least five to ten years, or even longer, to be promoted from a bronze knight to a silver knight. However, he did not expect that just one holy war would allow him to have such an amazing improvement. It was no wonder that those knights were so obsessed with the holy war.

"Lord Alpha, you are awake." As Alpha opened his eyes, he saw Gilliana, Strongguns and other knights. They also received the enhancement effect of the divine aura of light, and their faces were very moist, as if they had just experienced a baptism and were radiant with new vitality and energy.

"I'm glad everyone is okay." Alpha stretched his muscles and felt pretty good. His body seemed stronger than before, full of strength.

"How long have I slept?" Alpha didn't know what time it was and he felt a little confused.

"Lord Alpha, it's noon now. You've been unconscious for twelve hours. Now the city of Alman is under our control." Gilliana said, with a hint of gloom in her eyes. Her voice revealed a complex emotion, including joy for victory, worry about the coming darkness, and more confusion about her future.

"It's good that you're okay. Let's go out and take a look at the situation." Alpha put on his clothes and reconfigured his armor and weapons.

Alpha knew that the battle was far from over. The killing in the city was still going on, and the fighting outside was still going on. The dark creatures were also waiting for the opportunity, and the night was their home ground. It seemed that tomorrow would be the night of the full moon, and the strength of the dark creatures would be greatly enhanced tomorrow night, and then it would be the real battlefield for killing.

At this moment, a familiar and arrogant voice suddenly sounded: "Yo, isn't this our Gilliana? I didn't expect she's not dead yet? Isn't it time for her to come back and warm my bed?" This voice was full of sarcasm and provocation, making everyone present feel nervous.

"Lord Odysseus." Hearing the source of the voice, Gilliana's face turned pale, and her heart beat as fast as a drum. Her eyes were full of fear and anxiety, as if she saw the terminator of her own fate.

"Gilliana, you are my squire knight. I can't sleep well without you warming my bed these days. Why don't you come back to me?" Odysseus roared when he saw that the woman he sent away was standing in front of him safely. His voice was as shocking as thunder, with an irresistible majesty and anger.

"You gave up Gilliana on your own initiative. She is now a free person." Alpha didn't understand what the squire meant, but he knew that giving Gilliana to the werewolf meant giving up. Although his words were calm, they revealed a firm determination.

"No, no, no, I didn't give up. She ran away on her own. Now I want to take back my squire knight. Anyone who dares to stop me is fighting against the rules of our church and will be killed without mercy." Odysseus spoke nonsense shamelessly. There was a cunning light in his eyes, as if he was looking for an excuse for his lie.

But what Odysseus said was not wrong. Who could prove that it was Odysseus who gave up Gilliana? This was just a routine of no evidence. In this world, the truth is often covered up by power, and the weak can only bear it silently.

"Lord Alpha, I really hope to be your squire. The days with you are the happiest days of my life. I don't have to worry about the conspiracy behind the scenes. If there is a next life, let me meet you in advance." After saying this, Gilliana walked towards Odysseus. She couldn't die yet, even if she had to live in front of Odysseus. Her words were full of helplessness and despair, but also revealed a glimmer of longing for the future.

"Wait, I want to duel with you." Alpha's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Gilliana's steps. His eyes were firm and cold, as if he had seen through everything.

Hahaha, what do you have to fight me? Why should I fight you?" Odysseus laughed, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Because you are Odysseus, you will not refuse any challenge. I will exchange my name for Gilliana's freedom. If I lose, I will become your squire knight. If I win, you will set Gilliana free." Alpha shouted loudly.

"Hahaha, you, a bronze knight, want to challenge me? You overestimate your abilities. I agree." Odyssey laughed and mocked.

"Odyssey, is our battle about to begin?" At this moment, Athena stood up. The two of them had a bet to exchange the holy sword for a battle, which was also to help Alpha out.

"I'll give you a chance. Exchange someone else to fight me." Alpha gave him a way out at the right time. After all, Alpha had no chance of winning the challenge against Odyssey.

"Okay, Augustine, kill him for me." Odysseus felt tremendous pressure facing Athena. Before, the two of them fought evenly and their strength was only comparable.

Now that both of them have reached the peak of gold, Odysseus is extremely confident. Of course, it is at this time that Odysseus knows that he cannot defeat Athena now, and as time goes by, he will have no chance.

"Yes, Lord Odysseus." Following this response, a burly man over two meters tall and with a sturdy physique slowly walked out of the crowd. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to shake the earth, showing his extraordinary strength and momentum. This sturdy man was not only tall and mighty, but also had reached the peak of the silver level, and was one of the best among many masters.

Although on the surface there seems to be a certain gap between him and the strong man in front of him who is known as "Odyssey", in fact, the strength comparison between the two is not that big - it can even be said that in some aspects, this big man is slightly better.

More importantly, he has absolute trust and loyalty to Odyssey and will execute orders without hesitation no matter what the situation. This level of tacit understanding makes any opponent feel fearful.

At the same time, the other side of the competition was about to begin. In order to ensure fairness, the two contestants handed over their special weapons to a neutral knight for temporary safekeeping and agreed to use standard equipment of the same specifications for the duel. In this way, the two sides were left with only a pure competition of skills and personal ability.

Alpha stood in the middle of the field, his eyes fixed on his opponent, Augustine, who was not far away. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

Although Alpha was inevitably a little uneasy facing such a powerful enemy, this feeling was far less intense than the life-and-death pressure he had felt in his previous battle with the Wolf King.

Alpha knew that he was indeed unable to match the other party in terms of fighting spirit; however, the key factor that really determined the outcome of this battle was how to skillfully use the power of discipline. Only by giving full play to the advantages of this special skill could he reverse the situation and win the final victory.
