I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 328: Strange Space, Close Monitoring

"These things are everything you need to go to the dark space," Arthur said to you seriously, his eyes revealing an unspeakable firmness and trust. "Four tubes of enhancement potion, two tubes are my power, and two tubes are Lord Julius's power. Once used, we can gain our power in a short time."

Arthur paused and continued, "Remember, there are only five minutes. My strength is more about strength and defense, while Lord Julius's strength is more about speed and fighting spirit." Of course, Arthur did not say it clearly. That was only energy strength. It would be good enough if they could really exert half of their strength.

These potions are Alpha's only reliance in the dark space. They contain the power of Arthur and Julius. When Alpha is in danger, he only needs one injection of potion to gain powerful strength in a short period of time. However, this power is not endless, it can only last for five minutes. In these five minutes, Alpha must go all out and use the power given by the potion to cope with all challenges.

Arthur did not elaborate on the specific effects of the potion, but his words hinted at the extraordinary power of this force. He knew that a real battle did not rely solely on the power of the potion, but required Alpha to exert his strength at the critical moment. Therefore, Arthur hoped that Alpha could cherish these five minutes, give full play to his potential, and maximize the effect of the potion.

"The remaining two scrolls of light were made by Barnes and Richard," Arthur continued to explain, with a subtle nervousness in his voice. After all, magic was not Arthur's forte. "Barnes is good at light magic, and his scroll can provide us with powerful light power support at critical moments; and Lord Richard's is a teleportation scroll. Once we successfully rescue Athena, we can use it to return here instantly."

"There are a few things you need to pay special attention to about the teleportation scroll," Richard added calmly. "First, it is best to choose an open place without obstacles to use it. If the surrounding area is enclosed, the teleportation effect will be greatly reduced, and it may not even be able to send you back safely. Secondly, the effective release range of the teleportation scroll is the space within a one-meter radius centered on the scroll, so when using it, please make sure that everyone is standing in this area and do not step outside this range."

Alpha nodded, indicating that he understood the important information. "Thank you all for your trust and support," he said firmly, "I know that this mission is full of unknowns and dangers, but no matter what, I will do my best to complete the mission and will never let you down."

Julius looked at him coldly, with a hint of severity in his tone: "Remember, if you fail, you don't have to come back. This is not a threat, but a reminder to you that you must be careful with every step." After saying this, he turned around and took Richard out of the room, leaving a heavy and depressing atmosphere in the air.

Arthur patted Alpha's shoulder gently as a final encouragement: "Be careful." Although he knew that any words of comfort would be pale and powerless at this moment, he still hoped that this simple action could bring some strength to the other party. After all, in the face of the difficult challenges that are about to be faced, courage and wisdom are equally important.

"Lord Alpha, we will also accompany you on the mission." Just as Alpha walked out of the room and was about to follow Barnes to the magic circle, an unexpected scene happened.

Strong, Gilliana, Graia and others also rushed to the scene. They were fully armed and obviously not joking, but fully prepared to face the upcoming challenge with Alpha.

Strong held his sharp sword, the blade flashing with cold light, showing his determination and courage. Gilliana held her weapon tightly, the gemstone on the top of the sword emitted a soft light, as if infusing her with endless magic. Graia wore a light cloak, holding a pair of short knives in her hands, her eyes revealing determination and courage.

Their arrival surprised Alpha, but at the same time, it also made him feel warm. He knew that these people were his loyal partners, and no matter what difficulties and dangers they encountered, they would stand by his side without hesitation and fight alongside him.

"You guys go back quickly. I don't know what we will face in this mission. You will just go there to die." Alpha's voice was full of unwillingness and doubt. He believed that with the company of these partners, but everything was unknown in this mission.

"Lord Alpha, no matter what happens, we will stand firmly by your side. We believe in you." Gilliana looked at Alpha with firm eyes, and her words revealed immense trust and support.

Alpha felt warm in his heart, but he knew that this mission was extremely dangerous. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Forget it, Gilliana, Strong will stay with me, and everyone else will go back. But you are not idle, but try to rescue as many people as possible."

Alpha had already instructed Graya and Barutus that one of them would rescue people in the city while the other would provide support outside. All the rescued people would be sent to Alpha's own territory.

Hearing this, Graia's eyes became a little lonely. Alpha saw it and felt sorry for her, but he could only use this as an excuse: "The magic circle is limited, and only three people can pass through." He explained that the magic circle they entered was huge, but the magic circle they returned from only had a one-meter space.

After sending Graya and the others away, Alpha, Gilliana, and Strong quickly rushed to the magic circle area. Along the way, they were all in a very heavy mood, because they knew that what was waiting for them ahead might be an unprecedented challenge.

"Remember, there are only two ways to get back: one is the magic teleportation scroll given to you, and the other is here. But the formation here can only be activated at night. As for when the other side will be, we don't know." Barnes made the final statement, with a hint of worry in his tone. The three of them stepped onto the magic circle, and in the blink of an eye, they had entered a new unknown area.

In this incredible space, four full moons appeared in the sky, hanging high in the sky, emitting a soft, mysterious and strange dark red light. This strange scene broke the tranquility of the night and immersed the whole world in a surreal atmosphere.

The surroundings were shrouded in a light gray-red color, which was neither completely dark nor purely bright, but a vague state between the two, giving people a distant and vague feeling.

The scenery becomes hazy under such light, as if it is lightly covered by a layer of gauze, making it difficult to distinguish what is real and what is just a fantasy in one's mind. The whole scene is full of dreamlike colors, challenging people's perception limits, making people doubt whether what they see is real.

"Lord Alpha, what should we do now?" Gilliana's voice was full of worry. She followed Alpha closely, her eyes warily scanning the mysterious and strange space around her. There was an unsettling atmosphere in the air, as if every inch of land and every leaf was whispering, telling unknown secrets.

Alpha stopped and took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat. He knew that in this unknown environment, it was crucial to stay calm. "Leave here first and find a place to hide." His voice was firm and powerful, injecting a bit of courage into Gilliana and Strong. As he spoke, he quickly tidied up his werewolf fur. Although this makeshift camouflage suit was simple, it was particularly important in this dark space.

The three of them carefully moved towards the mountain that seemed not far away. However, as they approached step by step, they found that no matter how they walked, the mountain seemed to always remain at the same distance, with no intention of getting closer. "How is it possible? It's right in front of us, why can't I get closer?" Strong frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Mirage?" Alpha was also confused, but he quickly rejected the idea. "Everything here is too strange to be simply explained by common sense." He thought to himself and quickened his pace, hoping to find a safe hiding place as soon as possible.

At this moment, Gilliana suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky with sharp eyes: "Lord Alpha, there are black spots in the sky approaching us!" Her voice was a little nervous, but also revealed a bit of alertness. Sure enough, with her reminder, Alpha and Strong also noticed those fast-moving black shadows. They were erratic like ghosts, which made people feel cold.

……

"Knight Athena, look at how your church has given up on you and sent three insignificant knights into the dark space. Doesn't this just fit in with the hypocrisy and depravity of your church? They clearly don't want to save people, but because of secular concepts, they deliberately sent all the knights to die." The dark knight leader Luciferia stood in front of the magic ball, staring at the screen with a cold gaze, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His voice was as piercing as ice, full of contempt and provocation for the Church of Light.

It turned out that the Dark Council had already received the news when Alpha and the others were sent into the dark space. Therefore, it was almost impossible to sneak attack the Dark Council. This plan was doomed to fail from the beginning. However, for Luciferia, this was just the beginning, an opportunity to completely corrupt Athena.

"The Church is not far from destruction. You should become a powerful dark knight like me. Only darkness is eternal." Luciferia tried to seduce Athena to join his camp. He knew that if he could successfully corrupt Athena, the impact on the Church of Light would be huge.

After all, a new knight of the Church became a dark knight, not to mention that she was the child of the Pope. This would be a huge impact on the entire Church's belief system. This is also an important reason why the Dark Council arrested Athena.

However, facing Luciferia's temptation, Athena's eyes were as firm as iron. She straightened her back and revealed her unquestionable determination in her voice: "Don't even think about it. You can kill me, but it's impossible for me to change my faith." Her words were sonorous and powerful, like a sharp sword, cutting off all thoughts that attempted to shake her will.

The Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria stood in front of the dark dungeon, his eyes were cold and ruthless. He ordered his men: "Catch these three people for me. I don't believe how many people are stubborn enough?" His voice was full of unquestionable majesty. He wanted to corrupt Athena's will bit by bit and make her succumb to his power.

"Draw another tube of blood from her. The research on the Pope's bloodline cannot stop." Luciferia issued a second order. His purpose was to find a way to deal with the Pope's family. After all, the Pope was seeking to privatize the Church, which made research on a family feasible.

However, even the dark wizard Malcolm who was watching nearby could not stand it anymore. He warned: "Knight Luciferia, if you don't take into account the consumption, this is already the sixth tube of blood today. This guy will be drained dry." Malcolm knew that at this rate of blood withdrawal, Athena would be drained of blood and die in three days at most.

Once Athena died, they would have a way to revive her, but her blood and abilities would disappear and change, and then they would not be able to find a way to deal with the Pope. This was not what they wanted to see.

At this time, the leader of the Dark Council, the Night King, spoke: "As for Athena's blood drawing speed, the maximum speed is three tubes per day, and no one is allowed to mess around." The Night King's words made everyone dare not act presumptuous. After all, the opponent's strength and level were not comparable to them.

Although Luciferia was dissatisfied, he knew that the Night King's words must be obeyed. He nodded to show that he agreed with the Night King's decision. He knew that only by following the Night King's instructions could their plan go smoothly.

……

"Lord Alpha, they are coming." Gilliana's voice was particularly clear in the silent air. Her eyes were fixed on the enemies who were getting closer and closer, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She knew that this battle was crucial for them. If they failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gilliana turned around quickly and said to Lord Alpha, "We have to formulate a response strategy quickly and not let them get close to us easily." Her tone revealed a hint of anxiety, but more of firmness and determination. Her eyes flashed with an unyielding light, as if she was prepared for the worst.

Lord Alpha frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew that what Gilliana said was true. He looked around, observing the surrounding terrain and environment, trying to find the best fighting position. At the same time, he was also thinking quickly in his mind how to use the existing resources to resist the enemy's attack. He knew that what they were facing was not just a battle, but also a test of life and death.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death," Lord Alpha said solemnly, "We have to take the initiative and catch them off guard." His eyes flashed with determination, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. He knew that only through active action could he gain a glimmer of hope.

"Prepare for battle." Alpha took off the wolf skin that was in the way, drew out his long sword and fought with the enemy. His sword edge gleamed coldly in the sun, and every swing carried deadly force. He knew that at this moment, he had no way to retreat, and could only move forward bravely.

In fact, Alpha had already guessed that the moment they entered the dark space, they were closely monitored by the enemy, and they had no chance of escape. This was just a special area near the crack, not a new continent. Although the area here was not large, it gave people a feeling of boundlessness. That was just a trick of the enemy. This time, they were in great danger.
