I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 295: Darkness Invades, Holy Light Descends

"Get out, get out!" The moment the Athena Knights got out of the maze for the third time, only fifty or sixty of their hundred-man knight group were left. In this situation, falling behind meant certain death.

However, what greeted them were thousands of enemies - werewolves, vampires, and even Alpha saw the wolf king and fat werewolf he had fought before. These enemies obviously noticed Alpha's presence, and as the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous of each other. This was destined to be a bloody and cruel battle.

There were no passionate speeches, nor time for any preparation or mobilization. The two sides collided almost at the same moment, as if two huge torrents suddenly merged. Between the flashes of swords and the shadows of swords, the shouts of killing shook the earth, and blood splattered. Life became so fragile at this moment.

Everyone tried their best to protect themselves and their comrades, but at the same time they kept losing their companions. The battle entered a white-hot stage from the beginning, and the killing would never stop until the last moment.

In this chaotic battlefield, Alpha swung his sword, taking an enemy's life with every swing. His eyes were firm, and he had only one thought in his mind: to survive and lead the remaining knights out of the siege. His armor was stained with the blood of the enemy, but he didn't care, because he knew that only by moving forward could he survive.

However, compared to slaughtering civilians in the city, Alpha would rather stay here. At least there is no psychological burden, and Alpha feels at ease.

At the same time, other members of the Knights were also fighting hard. Their weapons collided with the enemy, making a harsh metal symphony. Every battle was a contest between life and death. Some knights fell, but their sacrifice was not in vain, because they bought precious time and space for others.

At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred. The sky suddenly became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if the whole world was swallowed by darkness. Then, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield. With the appearance of this light, a powerful force descended from the sky and rushed straight into the sky.

This is the power of the Goddess of Light! She heard the call of her knights and decided to intervene in the battle herself. The goddess appeared above the battlefield, holding a scepter and looking at the battle below. Her voice echoed in everyone's ears like thunder: "Warriors, don't give up! I will give you strength!"

All of a sudden, all the knights felt a warm force surge into their bodies, their wounds began to heal, and their fatigue disappeared. They cheered up again, wielding their weapons and launching a more fierce attack on the enemy.

Of course, this was not a miracle, but the magical blessing of the Light Priestess in the rear. However, the knights on the battlefield only thought that this was a blessing from their light, and for a moment their enthusiasm was beyond words.

The werewolves and vampires were shocked by this sudden change and began to retreat, trying to escape from this battlefield full of sacred atmosphere. However, the power of the goddess of light has inspired the knights' fighting spirit, and they chased after them relentlessly, vowing to completely destroy the enemy.

Finally, with the help of the goddess, the Knights successfully repelled the enemy in front of them, and the darkness was suppressed into their shadows again. Although they paid a huge price, they finally won a short victory. Alpha stood on the battlefield, looking at the fallen comrades around him, his heart filled with grief and gratitude. He knew that without the help of the goddess, they would not have been able to achieve such a victory.

"Rescue the wounded and clean up the battlefield." Alpha thought it was still a battle he was commanding, but this time no one obeyed Alpha's orders. The soldiers seemed to have gotten used to Athena's leadership, and they trusted her more and were more willing to follow her command.

"Fight for honor and victory!" Athena's voice echoed on the battlefield, and her call was even more inspiring. Now they were in the first echelon and had a chance to compete for the first place. The soldiers were inspired by her words, and their morale was high. Everyone was full of fighting spirit and determination.

Alpha watched all this and felt a little helpless and lost. He was once the leader of the team, but now he is just a follower. The commander of this battle is Athena. However, Alpha also understands that war requires unity and cooperation, not personal authority. He decided to put aside his pride and jealousy and fully support Athena's leadership.

So, Alpha walked up to Athena and whispered to her: "Lady Athena, we can't kill them all by doing this. We have to wait for reinforcements to arrive and then kill them together." Compared to any reward, Alpha cared more about everyone's lives.

Athena smiled slightly and nodded: "Do you think they will listen to you, Alpha. Only if we unite can we defeat the enemy." Athena looked at the fanatical knights. At this moment, only by rushing forward can their desires be satisfied.

"We are all fighting for our own purposes. If we stop now, we will lose everything. Only by taking down the tower can we win and be worthy of the knights who died in the battle." Athena will not stop. At this moment, she is only one thousand meters away from the central building in front. As long as she gets within a hundred meters, they can send a signal.

At this moment, Alpha realized the horror of the Church. This level of hypnosis made the knights worthless and human life was like grass. Alpha could not change and could only continue to fight beside Athena. At this moment, the most important thing was to stay alive.

As the distance gradually shortened, Athena and Alpha's pace became faster and faster. Their heartbeats and footsteps intertwined, forming a tense and rapid rhythm. The air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder, which made people feel suffocated.

The distance of several hundred meters was like a natural barrier that made it impossible to get close. The number of knights around them was decreasing rapidly. Once they fell, not even a corpse would be left. Now there were only about twenty knights around them, and they were still 300 meters away.

There are still two teams at this distance, one of which is Athena's old rival Odyssey. The opponent's character is not good, but his strength is unquestionable. The opponent's talent is average, but he has maintained the Golden Knight stage for decades. His knights are very strong. They rely on the strength of the team to kill all the way.

"For honor, for victory." Athena's motivational effect is no longer very effective. At this distance, the magic in the rear can no longer provide support, and they can only rely on themselves.

Finally, when they were only a hundred meters away from the central building, Athena suddenly stopped. One of the three teams had been completely submerged under the waves, leaving no trace.

Seeing Odyssey taking out a flare in the distance, Athena took a deep breath, then quickly pulled out a flare from her waist, lit it and threw it into the sky.

Almost at the same time, two flares drew beautiful arcs in the air and finally burst into dazzling light in the sky.

Seeing this, Alpha knew that they had successfully sent out the signal. Next, they only needed to wait for reinforcements to arrive. However, at this moment, a shrill horn sounded suddenly, breaking the brief silence.

It turned out that the werewolves in the rear had completely blocked the road. They had no way to retreat at this moment, and it was unknown whether they could hold on until reinforcements arrived.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Athena and Alpha did not back down. They quickly adjusted their mentality and prepared for the upcoming battle. Although they knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, they still firmly believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to win.

"Sir Knight Arthur, the team ahead has approached the target and sent out signal flares. However, the confusing thing is that the positions of the two signal flares are not the same, which makes it impossible for us to accurately determine the true position." After receiving this information, the communications officer Grant immediately reported the situation to his superiors. There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice, and he was obviously very worried about this sudden situation.

"Which two teams sent the signal?" Knight Commander Arthur's face was calm and he did not hesitate. His eyes were firm and calm, as if he had expected such an outcome. As a commander, he knew that it was crucial to stay calm in such a situation.

"It's the Odyssey and Athena teams. They sent out flares at the same time." Grant shouted, trying to make his voice penetrate the surrounding noise. There was a sense of urgency in his tone, because every second was related to the success of the entire operation.

Hearing this, Cardinal Barnes showed a questioning expression. "They wouldn't deliberately leak intelligence just to win credit, would they?" His voice was full of suspicion and distrust. After all, on the battlefield, in order to win honor or avoid responsibility, people sometimes do irrational things.

"That's impossible! After all, we have to check it in the end. If we find that there is a mistake or false information, it will not be a simple reward." Arthur was not very sure, but he still chose to trust the loyalty of his men. After all, who can guarantee human nature? But as a leader, he must make the most beneficial decision for the overall situation.

After a brief thought, Arthur finally decided: "Prepare for the Holy Sword Plan, and target the middle of the two flares." He believed that no matter which team's information was more accurate, as long as the final result could ensure that the enemy's core position was destroyed, then the operation would be a success. Even if someone lied, as long as the final goal was achieved, everything would be worth it.

As the holy light descended, the entire team was surrounded by an indescribable warmth. This power not only illuminated their surroundings, but also seemed to penetrate into everyone's heart, inspiring their purest courage and faith. Knight Arthur stood at the front of the team, his face looked particularly solemn and firm in the holy light, as if he had been given some kind of sacred mission.

At this moment, people who were busy in various places stopped their work and turned their eyes to the place where the light was. The air was filled with an indescribable tranquility and peace, which made people hold their breath and concentrate, fearing that this rare peace would be broken. Then, a long sword with a gemstone inlaid on the hilt and emitting a soft glow slowly emerged from the holy light - this was the legendary Holy Sword of Light! It quietly floated in the air, waiting for its true owner to come and claim it.

Seeing this scene, everyone was filled with awe. Especially the soldiers on guard duty, who were extremely alert at this moment, closely monitoring the surroundings to ensure that no evil forces could approach and disrupt the ceremony. At the same time, several knowledgeable scholars began to recite ancient spells in a low voice, trying to guide the holy sword to complete the final awakening process in this way.

As time went by, the light around the holy sword became stronger and stronger, until it was difficult to look directly at. Suddenly, with a slight "swish" sound, accompanied by a slight but shocking vibration, the Holy Sword of Light finally showed its full appearance and slowly descended in front of Arthur. When his hand touched the hilt, a strong and gentle force instantly surged into his body, making his whole body emit a dazzling light.

At this moment, everyone knows that a great battle between justice and evil is about to begin. But no matter how many difficulties and obstacles are waiting for them ahead, as long as there is love and hope in their hearts, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. It is this belief that supports every warrior to continue moving forward and move forward courageously on this road full of unknown challenges.

"Lady Athena, look over there." At the moment when the last dozen knights were in despair, the sharp sword that pierced the sky was unsheathed.

This is everyone's hope. Seeing the Sword of Holy Light shining on the earth, everyone wants to surrender and worship. Even the dark creatures are frightened and dare not act rashly.

"That's the Sword of Holy Light. We are saved." Watching the Sword of Holy Light slowly falling towards them, Athena's inner hope was ignited again.

Now only Alpha chose to continue killing the motionless werewolves and vampires. Alpha himself could also use the Sword of Holy Light, but it was not as powerful as the one in front of him.

Alpha knew that if he didn't kill these enemies now, he would be overwhelmed by them later. The Sword of Holy Light was powerful, but it couldn't destroy all enemies.

"Lord Alpha, let me help you." At this moment, Gilliana had a great liking for the unique Alpha Knight in front of her. He did not have the old-fashioned and indifferent manner of the Vatican Knights. He was completely different from them.

If possible, Gilliana hopes to become Alpha's guard knight, but that is no longer possible.

Alpha nodded slightly, indicating that she could join the battle. He knew that every bit of strength was crucial in this battle. Gilliana wielded the sword in her hand and fought side by side with Alpha. The two cooperated tacitly and knocked down enemies one after another.

At the same time, the light of the Sword of Holy Light became more and more dazzling, as if it was going to illuminate the entire world. It slowly descended and finally landed in the center of the battlefield. As it descended, a powerful energy wave spread out in all directions, and those dark creatures that were still struggling collapsed and dissipated in front of this power.

Seeing this, Athena and her companions couldn't help but cheer. They knew that with the help of the Sword of Holy Light, victory was within reach. However, Alpha did not relax his vigilance because he knew that the real test was still to come.

As expected, just as everyone was immersed in joy, a stronger dark breath came from afar. A figure walked out of the darkness, and his appearance made the atmosphere of the entire battlefield tense again. This person was the mastermind behind this incident - the evil wizard Malcolm.

Malcolm sneered at Athena and others on the battlefield, his eyes full of disdain: "Do you think you can defeat me with a so-called sword of holy light? How naive!" After saying that, he raised the magic wand in his hand, ready to launch the final attack.

"Darkness dispelled."
