I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 184 Three Great Protectors

Alpha's instructions were clear and firm. He asked the team to collect as much information as possible without attracting the enemy's attention. They were divided into small groups and quietly searched for Liv's traces and possible enemy clues in the streets and alleys of Campesi.

After a few days of investigation, the team discovered some suspicious activities. There were some unfamiliar faces in the market, and these faces always appeared near the key locations they investigated. Alpha realized that they were being closely watched by a pair of invisible eyes.

One night, Alpha invited a well-known information broker in Cambesi, hoping to get more inside information from him. In a hidden corner of a shabby tavern, the information broker revealed an important clue: a group of secret people were active in the city, and they seemed to be related to an organization called "Shadow Hand", which was famous for kidnapping, assassination and intelligence operations.

Hearing this news, Alpha's heart sank. He knew that this organization was difficult to deal with, but in order to rescue Liv, he had no choice. He instructed the team to continue to keep a low profile while stepping up the investigation of the activities of the "Shadow Hand" in Cambesi.

A few days later, an unexpected opportunity arose. They rescued a beaten man in the basement of a small hotel. This man was a member of the "Shadow Hand", and this was information that Alpha had paid a huge price for.

"Tell me, where are the people you captured before being held now?" Alpha deliberately yelled at the other party.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? Be careful or I will sue you for kidnapping and extortion." The other party was obviously not easily scared and issued a threat immediately.

"Tell me, where are all the people you arrested?" Alpha punched the other in the face.

"I'm going to sue you."

"Lord Alpha, someone is visiting you." Gun suddenly came to report.

"Who?" Alpha was very curious because he had no acquaintances in Campesi.

“They just say it’s the enemy of my enemy.”

"Meiyi, teach him a lesson first, don't kill him." Alpha wiped the blood off his hands and handed the task to Meiyi.

"Woman, you are only fit to lick my feet." The other party was actually not knowing the danger in life and death and was still provoking the devil ninja in front of her.

Meiyi, the female ninja who was respected and slightly feared by the team, stepped forward calmly. She said nothing more, but used her sharp dagger to reflect the cold light in the firelight, making the captured man feel real panic for the first time.

"Wait a minute, let me tell you! I'll tell you!" The man's voice suddenly became trembling and rapid.

As the man spoke, the information he provided shocked Alpha and the team - the people they kidnapped were being held in an abandoned factory southwest of Cambe, and the "Shadow Hand" wanted to control the entire city's black market transactions through a series of kidnappings.

"Dear Captain Apollo, I am Chelsea, the supreme commander of the revolutionary army in the Fatalia Empire. Nice to meet you. I heard that you are in trouble here. We can provide help." The revolutionary who called herself Chelsea explained enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry, I have no connection with the Revolutionary Army. You've got the wrong person." Alpha doesn't believe in pie in the sky, nor does he believe in free lunch. If he is entangled by the Revolutionary Army, he will probably be skinned alive if he doesn't die.

"Captain Apollo, don't rush to refuse. We have already contacted Rimuru, and the situation over there is very good, and Captain Apollo has made a great contribution to it." Of course, this was just Chelsea's courtesy. Those revolutionary soldiers were too arrogant to praise Alpha.

"Then you don't need my help at all. Why are you helping us?" Alpha knew that it was only a matter of time before Rimuru could not hold on.

"Our revolutionary army has no shortage of brave warriors willing to sacrifice their lives, but it lacks a marshal to lead the entire army.

"We have different paths, and forcing ourselves to come together will only lead to division in the end." Although these people are revolutionaries, they have not figured out what to do after the revolution, and this is the key issue.

"Lord Alpha, that guy has let go. The kidnapped people are in a warehouse in the suburbs. Should we go there now?" Meiyi hurried over and didn't even have time to wipe the blood off her body to work.

"Okay, you let everyone get ready, and we'll take action after dark." Alpha forced himself to calm down. Impulse is the devil. Not only will it fail to save Liv and others, it will also get himself into trouble.

"To show our sincerity, we will help you with the operation tonight and act together."

"Lord Chelsea, what is the philosophy of your revolutionary army? Are you going to watch the suffering people being bought and sold and do nothing? What kind of help are you saying? Can you just watch them like this without us?" Alpha's attitude towards the revolutionary army instantly dropped several levels.

Alpha quickly decided that they had to act immediately, as this clue might help them find Liv and the other kidnapped people. He ordered the team to prepare their equipment and develop a detailed rescue plan.

In the dark night, Alpha and his team approached the abandoned factory silently. They found strict guards and multiple monitoring points. Under the guidance of Meiyi, the team used the darkness and the ninja's concealment skills to bypass the enemy's surveillance one by one.

They finally found a hidden underground entrance, which led to the place where the hostages were held. After breaking through a few simple defenses, they saw the prisoners, but Liv and the others were not among them.

The intense rescue operation was launched immediately. Meiyi and another team member quickly and effectively dealt with the guards without harming the hostages. The people were released urgently, and although the hostages were a little weak, they smiled with gratitude when they saw their rescue teammates.

Afterwards, the team quickly evacuated the scene and used the pre-set escape route and plan to successfully avoid the enemy's pursuit. However, just as everyone climbed up the passage, four people on the ground blocked it.

"Don't come up yet." Alpha, Gun, and Meiyi climbed up, followed by the soldiers. The knight left on the ground fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

"Be careful, they are the eight strongest guards of the Shadow Hunters, the Viper, the Mad Bull, the Wild Boar and the Tiger. Each of them is top-notch in the continent. I can only deal with one of them at most. The rest is up to you." As he spoke, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows. It was the guard of Chelsea, the leader of the revolutionary army.

This sudden news was like a bombshell, causing a storm in everyone's heart. Everyone's nerves were instantly tense, realizing that they were about to face an unprecedented fierce battle. Alpha's eyes became sharp, and he quickly analyzed the current situation. He knew that they needed to go all out to have a chance to compete with such a powerful enemy. He nodded slightly to Chelsea's guards, indicating that he was ready for the battle.

The battle horn sounded in an instant, and each team member quickly found his opponent. Under the dim light, the flashes of swords and sabers flashed and intertwined, as if playing a continuous symphony of steel. Alpha and Meiyi fought side by side, and their tacit understanding and skills were fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Venom, move that woman away from me. I will kill this man and then go to help you." Mad Bull's eyes were fixed on Alpha. He obviously noticed the tacit cooperation between Alpha and Meiyi, and tried to break this balance by separating them.

"Okay, no problem." Although the eight guardians are powerful, they also have their own specialties. Mad Bull is known for his extraordinary physical strength and endurance, and no one can compete with him; while Venomous Snake is an expert in using poison, but it is not its strong point in direct combat.

"Meiyi, be careful of that guy, he is an expert in using poison." Alpha reminded Meiyi loudly.

"Master Alpha, you have to be careful too. This minotaur is very powerful. I'll come to help you after I take care of Viper." Meiyi responded as the fight with Viper gradually became more distant, breaking the tacit cooperation between the two.

At this point in the battle, everyone was in a tough fight. Alpha and Mad Bull were fighting like two angry bulls, charging and wrestling, and every collision was accompanied by a dull echo. Meiyi was lightly moving between the attacks, her dagger was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, looking for flaws.

In the fierce battle, each team member showed extraordinary ability. Facing the tremendous pressure brought by the eight guards of the Shadow Hunter, the trust and cooperation between the Revolutionary Army and Alpha's team faced a severe test.

The battle between Viper and Mii is extremely dangerous and complicated. Mii uses her agility and precise attacks to fight against Viper's poisonous skills. Viper is good at using various poisons, and each of his attacks is full of deadly threats. Mii must always remain highly vigilant to avoid being harmed by the toxins.

In a thrilling dodge, Meiyi was almost pierced by the poisonous snake's stinger, but she calmly analyzed the opponent's attack pattern and finally found a way to break through. Meiyi created a fleeting flaw through quick movement and flexible change of direction, and then her dagger penetrated the poisonous snake's defense like lightning, which seemed to indicate the end of the battle.

At the same time, the duel between Alpha and Mad Bull was like a collision of two powerful forces. With its strong physical strength and endurance, Mad Bull continuously launched fierce attacks on Alpha, and every collision made the entire space tremble.

Despite being at a disadvantage in strength, Alpha evaded and counterattacked flexibly with his superb martial arts and tactical wisdom. After a clever lead, Alpha gathered all his strength and delivered a precise punch, hitting the bull's vital point accurately and knocking him down successfully.

The other team members also showed off their unique skills and fought fiercely with the wild boar and other guards. The mutual support and cooperation between them showed that they were not only outstanding fighters, but also a team with tacit cooperation.

The tiger was so powerful that it actually suppressed Chelsea's guards so tightly that they had no power to fight back.

"Be careful, they can transform into orcs, which greatly increases their strength," the guard warned loudly.

"Kill!" With a roar, the mad bull that was originally defeated by Alpha climbed up with difficulty while roaring.

"Oh no, why did she disappear?"
