I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 135: The 4th Mine

"Lord Russ, why did the Fourth Mine ask us for help?" Although they belong to the same organization, this place is almost isolated from the outside world and is directly under the leadership of the headquarters. It has no intersection with the surrounding mines, and everyone is not familiar with each other.

"I received news that the higher-ups have withdrawn all the troops from the surrounding mines. Now the surrounding mining areas are all empty of troops, except us." Thinking of this, Russ also understood.

"What kind of mining area requires all the troops to be mobilized? No matter how valuable the mineral deposits are, they can't be more expensive than our mining area, right?"

"The resources in our mine are certainly important, but some things cannot be bought with money. What we need to occupy this time is a titanium quartz mine. In order to ensure that everything is safe, the nobles spared no expense, and the guards around the mine were almost all withdrawn." Russ explained.

"Who are those who attacked our mining area?" Although they were on the same grassland, the nobles were constantly quarreling with each other, and attacking and being attacked were common occurrences.

"That shouldn't be the case. All the outer guards have been transferred away. Who attacked our mining area? Could it be that an external enemy attacked and entered the grassland..." Russ didn't say anything else. The leaders present exchanged glances and began to speculate.

"Lord Russ, we are only responsible for protecting our own mines and cannot rescue other mines."

"It would be fine if we didn't rescue them under normal circumstances, but this time all the surrounding mines were evacuated. If something really happens to them, I'm afraid the headquarters will blame us." Another mining area leader reminded.

"Every inch of land here belongs to the Allison family. If we lose this mining area, I'm afraid Lord Allison will not let us off easily."

"Send support with 400 people under cover of night, and remember to go and come back quickly after the battle." In the end, Russ chose to send troops. After all, this was an extremely hidden mining area, surrounded by the Allison family's industries. The enemy was most likely to attack the surrounding mining areas. If he allowed the enemy to send troops at will, he would also be attacked by the enemy, and both sides would suffer.

"Go immediately. Everyone, strengthen defense during this period. Remember to be nice to the miners." Russ could only make such arrangements. After all, the mining area was strictly managed and workers frequently rebelled.

……

"Lord Rowling, the enemy has sent reinforcements. Should our army pursue them?" The monkey discovered the enemy's hidden whereabouts at the first time.

"No need to attack. They won't send out support if they know there's an ambush. Send a few people into the mine to investigate the situation inside. We can't let them know of our existence." There was too little intelligence now, and Rowling didn't dare to take risks easily.

"Okay, I'll sneak in now." Monkey led his team to follow the enemy reinforcements under the cover of night and successfully sneaked into the mine.

After the enemy lost half of its personnel, the defense relaxed. Monkey successfully sneaked into the mine and saw the mine's products.

However, what impressed Monkey the most was the miserable situation of the miners inside. There was blood and corpses everywhere. It was not difficult to see that these robbers did not regard the miners as human beings at all. They beat and killed them at will.

Along the way, the monkey saw at least three attacks, so the bandits in the place where the miners lived were fully armed. The monkey carefully observed the surrounding situation and found that the enemy actually encountered unstable factors, which looked like civil unrest.

Although the monkey discovered the existence of a resistance organization among the crowd, he was just an ordinary monkey and could not find the key figures. However, as long as he was given time, he believed that he would be able to find everything he wanted.

Just as the monkey was thinking about what to do, a sharpened spoon suddenly held him hostage and threatened: "If you don't want to die, shut up." The monkey was scared. He never thought he would face such a threat.

However, the other party did not kill Monkey at the first time, which surprised Monkey. He realized that the other party might be organized and purposeful, and as long as he could meet the upper echelons of the other party, he would be able to find the resistance organization he wanted.

"Take us out, take us to the weapons depot." Monkey decided not to speak, so as not to alert the other party. He followed the other party, hoping to find a chance to escape. But the other party did not take him away, which surprised and upset the monkey.

"I just got here, and I haven't even been given a suit of armor. I don't even know where the armory is?" The monkey pretended to be afraid, looking confused. He didn't dare to turn around and was held hostage by the other party in a dark corner.

"What should we do? Catch a fool?" The two hostage-takers behind were at a loss.

"Just kill it." As they were talking, the two men were about to take action, and the monkey instantly disappeared from their sight.

"What the hell?" The two were terrified. After all, there were too many strange things here.

"Are you looking for me?" The monkey's figure appeared behind the two of them.

"Actually, you two don't have to worry. I'm not from the mine. I'm here to rescue you. Take me to find the person behind you." The monkey seemed to have held the two people hostage, but did not take any other action.

"How can I trust you?" The two men were full of doubts and unwilling to reveal the secrets of the organization easily. After all, this was a capital crime and it involved more than just the two of them.

"Come here." The monkey walked out of the corner and suddenly pointed at the guard and shouted.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The clothes that the monkey stole belonged to a middle-level leader. The other party didn't know what they were and just ran over.

The monkey's behavior frightened the two prisoners, who clenched their weapons tightly and dared not move.

"There's something going on inside, deal with it for me." Especially after hearing Monkey's order, the two people in the corner knew they were doomed to die and were ready.

"Yes, sir." The guard knew that this was a common occurrence and was not panicked or surprised at all.

The guard drew his weapon and just stepped into the darkness. Before he could make a sound when he saw the enemy, he was stabbed in the neck by the monkey behind him. He didn't even have time to call for help and fell in a pool of blood.

"We're sorry, we've never heard of the city of Balor before, nor have we heard of the fame of the cavalry regiment among these bandit gangs. No one has ever helped us, so please stop lying and just follow us." The two men didn't seem to buy it. After putting on their armor, they changed to spears, making it clear that they were unwilling to give up.

In this case, the monkey is already a bird in a cage, but if there is a conflict, it will inevitably attract the attention of others. In this case, the monkey who does not want to cause trouble will choose to keep quiet.

"Well, whether you have heard of the city of Balor or not, our cavalry is nearby. If you seize the opportunity, you may be rescued. I do have something to discuss with your master in person. If it is convenient, can you take us there? Or point us in a direction."

"Sorry, the master will not receive unidentified people, and this is our territory, you can't just barge in!" One of them said, picking up a spear to threaten, but the monkey easily dodged it.

The monkey saw the other party's impatience and became a little anxious.

"If you don't lead the way, I'll find the way myself." After saying that, the monkey disappeared again, and no matter how hard the two prisoners searched, they could not find any trace of it.

"What should we do? Should we go back and report to the adults, or continue looking for the location of the armory?" They just noticed that the defense of the basement had relaxed a lot, so they ran out to look for the key points, and ended up encountering this incident.

"Let's go back and report to the master. No matter if there is anyone outside the door or not, let him be prepared." Another prisoner realized that the situation was unclear and difficult to judge.

"Okay, let's go back now."

……

The environment in the bunker was extremely harsh, with oppression and killing everywhere, and screams could be heard everywhere.

Several miners were beaten half to death by guards for a minor matter. Three women in a cell were being abused by beastly guards. These women had to work hard during the day and suffer inhuman abuse at night. Their lives were worse than death. Such violence has become the norm, and there is no chance of luck.

"Don't be impulsive. We have to go back now and pass the information to the adults." Seeing their brothers and sisters being bullied like this, the two knights almost couldn't bear it anymore.

In order to prevent themselves from taking action, the two disguised knights quickly returned to the lower space. The deeper they went into the strata, the more unsafe the geological structure became. The guards now dared not come down easily, which also gave the rebels more opportunities.

However, today, the two felt an unusual atmosphere on their way to the adults' room. When they reached the door of the adults' room, they were stopped by dozens of miners.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. After all, their current identities were "Hell Knights". They immediately took off their helmets to avoid being misunderstood by their own people. The name "Hell Knight" was a nickname given by the miners to the guard knights here.

"We need to see the adults. We have something important to report."

……

"You mean someone outside was preparing to attack here, and they had already infiltrated the area and helped you two to defeat the Hell Knight. Then you got rid of them and came back to report on the incident." The adult in the corner was drinking tea while listening to the report of the two disguised knights. The adult was wearing a black linen shirt, so it was difficult to see the expression on his face.

"Come out! Brother, I know you are nearby." The adult suddenly looked around.

"Sir? How did you know I was nearby?" The monkey actually walked out from the crowd, and it was unknown when his normal clothes were changed into tattered miner's clothes.

"With your ability to come and go freely, these two people's strength could never threaten you, so you left on your own, and they were just leading the way for you." The adult briefly analyzed.

"Sir, please spare our lives." Even though the sir had no expression on his face, the two men were terrified to the extreme.

"Don't worry, the information they provided is true. Our cavalry is nearby and is preparing to find an opportunity to clean up this place." Monkey emphasized again.

"Then you can act on your own, why do you need our cooperation?" The monkey did not explain, but the adult had already guessed the other party's purpose.

"We are just the advance team and don't want to suffer too much loss. If no one cooperates, we will temporarily give up here and look for other easier mines." Monkey knew that the more he acted indifferent, the more the other party would pay attention to him.

"Do you know what kind of mine this is?" The adult was also looking for bargaining chips.

"What does it matter? For us, we must eliminate all the bandits on this grassland, take over all the mines in one fell swoop and manage them in a unified way, so we don't care which mine it is." Monkey has not yet found out the products of the mine here, and this is his first time here.

"If you knew what kind of mine this is, you wouldn't talk like that."
