I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 261: Persuading Bilson to Surrender

"Lord Alpha, according to Monkey's reconnaissance report, the enemy has dispatched 5,000 reinforcements from Berlin, and they are approaching us. How should we deal with this situation?" At this moment, Monkey's reconnaissance troops had arrived at the border of Berlin. According to the scouts' travel speed, the enemy was about three days away.

"Where is Captain Ferrod now?" Alpha knew that he could not confront the enemy head-on, but he would never let all of Bilson's efforts go to waste.

"Lord Alpha, Captain Ferod has arrived." Speak of the devil and he will appear. Just when Alpha was thinking about Ferod, he had already arrived in front of him.

"Okay, let's go meet Captain Ferold." Without too much courtesy, Alpha simply explained the current situation to Ferold.

"Lord Alpha, I understand. I will enter Pilsen, let the imperial soldiers in Pilsen look at us, and leave Pilsen immediately." Ferod knew the power of 60,000 soldiers. It was a terrifying army.

Lord Alpha knew that directly confronting the upcoming 5,000 reinforcements would not only take up a lot of time and energy, but could also lead to heavy losses. Therefore, he decided to adopt a more sophisticated strategy to deal with the current predicament.

"Captain Ferrod, we need to act immediately." Alpha said firmly, "First, we must ensure that the imperial soldiers in Pilsen will not become our enemies. We must win their support, or at least keep them neutral."

Captain Ferrod nodded in agreement, knowing the difficulty of the task, so he led his troops to Pilsen without hesitation.

During the march, Captain Ferrod kept thinking about how to persuade the imperial soldiers in Pilsen. He knew that it would not be easy to make them change their position, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up.

In the morning light of the next day, Captain Ferold arrived at the city of Pilsen alone. He entered the city without stopping and headed straight for the city lord's mansion. Many of the soldiers around knew Ferold, but they did not dare to stop him.

"Who is the commander here?" Captain Ferrod's voice echoed in the central square of the city lord's mansion gate, loud and firm.

A burly officer walked out of the crowd. He looked Ferold up and down and replied solemnly, "I am the commander here. Who are you?"

Captain Ferold smiled and said, "I am Ferold, the captain of the German Knights of the Wind. I have come here to inform you that you are about to face a catastrophe."

The commander frowned, seeming to be somewhat skeptical of Captain Ferold's words. However, he still waved his hand to signal the soldiers around him to retreat, and then invited Captain Ferold to enter the city for a detailed discussion.

At this time, a thin knight stepped out from the crowd and said firmly: "Daga, this is not your territory. You have no right to talk in secret from everyone, and you cannot sell out our rights. Ferold is an enemy of Germany."

At the same time, another powerful knight also stood up: "No, we are Germans in life and the soul of Germany in death. Captain Ferrod, we are willing to leave Pilsen with you."

The three parties stood in their own teams. Daga's knights had the largest number of people. They followed the crowd and chose to follow the winning side. There were not many knights who were willing to follow Ferod directly, but everyone's face was full of determination.

"No need to go in. I'm going to make it clear to you right here. You are already standing on the brink of destruction." Captain Ferold shouted at the soldiers in the square.

"What do you mean? This is our territory. I can kill you at any time." Gusen, the representative of the surrender faction, stood up and scolded Ferold.

“Hahaha, you guys are still clueless when the time comes! Now, the cyborg army is in dire straits. The Holy See of Light regards them as dark creatures. Anyone on the continent has the right to kill them.

Governor Alpha of the Auli State is rising like a new star, a symbol of victory. He has successfully eliminated Auli, Tor and Munich, and now, Lord Alpha is preparing to conquer Frankfurt and Pilsen. Wherever he goes, the mutants bow down to him.

Now, the enemy only has Berlin as the last piece of territory left. As long as Berlin continues to hold on, Governor Alpha will surely be able to drive the enemy out of our territory. When that happens, how will you deal with it?" Captain Ferold shouted angrily.

"Nonsense! The mutants are extremely powerful. Even the Angel Wings of the German Empire cannot defeat them. How can a mere Alpha defeat them? You have been besieging Munich for two months without any progress. You are clearly fooling us!" Gusen retorted loudly.

"Shut up! This is actually Governor Alpha's plan. He only besieged Munich, and the real target of the attack was the reinforcements. Frankfurt sent 5,000 reinforcements, and you sent 30,000 reinforcements in Pilsen. Now all these reinforcements have been annihilated by Alpha.

Moreover, ten days ago, Alpha also successfully took Munich. Now the target is Pilsen and Frankfurt. What will you choose? "Ferrod admired Alpha's wisdom very much. This is not only a personal bravery, but also the crystallization of wisdom.

No one believed Ferod's explanation. However, the fact that Pilsen had increased its troops by 30,000 was indisputable. Since no news had been received so far, it was probably true that, as Ferod said, the entire army had been annihilated.

"Let me tell you, the enemy has transferred 5,000 troops from the Berlin front to support Pilsen. This is Governor Alpha's attitude. He doesn't take you seriously at all. Even the mutants don't think you can stop him.

Moreover, this is also a sign that the mutants are running out of steam. Berlin is the last place where the enemy was defeated. If the stalemate continues, the mutants will secretly transfer the knights away, and the Berlin Executive Committee will be able to solve it quickly. "Ferold's roar made the soldiers present feel extremely aggrieved.

"Shut up! We are soldiers of the German Empire, the strongest soldiers on the continent!" Gusen's roar resounded throughout the room. He tried to resist Ferold's persuasion in this way.

"Oh, really? Why do you admit that you are the strongest German Empire soldier on the continent now? Do you feel that your self-esteem has been challenged? Let me tell you, self-esteem is not given by others, but earned by yourself. Like you, I have failed before, but now I have stood up again. I want to take back the dignity I once lost. Are you all cowards?" Captain Ferold's words were full of sarcasm.

Daga and the others looked at each other, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety. "Captain Ferrod, we have surrendered once. If we rebel against the mutants again, won't the German Empire clean us up afterwards?" Their voices trembled.

Captain Ferod was silent for a moment, then said: "If you are afraid, you can go to the Governor of Ori State, and Alpha will accept you. But you must know that you need to fight for your dignity. If you choose to escape, then you will lose your dignity forever." Captain Ferod's eyes were firm and sharp.

Daga and the others fell into deep thought, knowing that they had no way out. "Think about it carefully. I'll give you one day. Now, you only have two choices: either attack us, the Freedom Army that is more powerful than the mutants, or attack the mutant army. Otherwise, don't talk to me about dignity!" Captain Ferrod held his head high and walked out of the room with a swagger. His figure looked particularly tall in the sun.

The room was silent, with only the heavy breathing of Daga and others. Their hearts were full of contradictions and struggles, and they had to make a decision in a short time, a decision that would affect their future.

Lord Alpha, the knights of Pilsen are still waiting and watching. What should we do next? Ferold still has doubts about the affiliation of these people. This time, Ferold only led a team of 3,000 people headed by Darlo, and these people have always been loyal to Germany. Now that they have the opportunity, they immediately leave Pilsen.

"Order Darlo to retreat fifty kilometers, contact the German knights in the rear, and be ready to retreat at any time." The knights who had surrendered before did not leave. They were still waiting in an area more than one hundred kilometers away.

"Lord Alpha, they don't want to leave. They request to join the war and fight the mutants to the death." Ferrod already knew what these people were thinking.

"We can't let them stay. We are outnumbered and cannot engage the enemy head-on. Everyone must strictly follow orders." Alpha will not abandon his teammates, but if his comrades do not obey orders and insist on fighting the enemy, whether Alpha will rescue them will become a problem, which will also disrupt his plans.

"Yes, Lord Alpha." At this moment, Ferold also understood the Lord's mobile combat plan. He gave up many of his previous ideas and decided to strictly follow the order.

"By the way, if they really want to stay, we can arrange for them to be stationed around. If Pilsen sends troops to attack our rear, let them attack Pilsen." Alpha suddenly thought of a problem. There is still a group of surrenderists in Pilsen. These people may not wait until the war becomes clear before taking action.

"Yes, Lord Alpha." Ferold also realized that this was possible. If it weren't for those diehards just now, Ferold himself might have been left behind by the other side.

"Just keep an eye on the situation in Pilsen. Our main target now is the reinforcements coming from Berlin. You and I will each lead 500 people to form a twin camp and support each other in the attack." The soldiers in Pilsen had little influence on the battle situation, so Alpha shifted his target to the enemy's main force.

"Understood, Master Alpha."
