My Pokémon Player

"I, Baron Soto, the lord of Silver Leaf Town, surrender to you on behalf of Silver Leaf Town!"

"I hope you can let my knights go. They are just following my orders." Soto asked Ryan sincerely.

Ryan responded: "Oh? Is this your only condition for surrender?"

"Yes, just like you said, I have to admit that I lost. I have no chance to turn the tables. Instead of struggling to death, it is better to surrender quickly and leave a good impression on you, so that you can treat my family members well."

Soto said calmly. When he realized that he had completely lost and got rid of the influence of the gambler's mentality, he turned back to the calm and smart Baron Soto.

He did not expect Ryan to let him go. Whether it was the long-standing hatred between him and Feiyu Town or the ambition exposed by actively launching a war, it would prompt Ryan to get rid of him to prevent future troubles.

He was doomed to die, but Torre and his men didn't need to be buried with him, and the family had to be passed on, so Soto proposed such a simple surrender condition.

Looking at Soto's pleading eyes, Ryan sighed softly in his heart.

He had to admit that Baron Soto still had his merits. He had both the strategic vision that was rare among the nobles and the courage to fight for a glimmer of hope for himself and his territory.

And he should have a good relationship with his knights, otherwise no knight would have persisted until now.

If it weren't for the fact that his hatred with Feiyu Town could not be resolved, and that he was indeed ambitious and a crazy gambler, Ryan would have wanted to spare his life and take him under his command.

After all, Ryan's subordinates were not short of generals, but rather of commanders. The performances of the major knights were excellent, but they had not yet grown to the point where they could command a war.

And Soto had this ability. Although he was repeatedly frustrated when attacking Feiyu Town, this was because he encountered players who did not play by the rules.

If he had changed his opponent, he would not be so embarrassed and would have taken down Feiyu Town long ago.

Therefore, Soto was considered a talent in Ryan's eyes, but unfortunately.

Ryan shook his head regretfully and said:

"Okay, I agree to your request."

After that, he did not look at Soto who breathed a sigh of relief, but turned to look at Bauer:

"Baron Bauer, you are the only one left. Do you want to continue to resist or put forward surrender conditions?"

Bauer smiled and said: "Baron Ryan, you are joking. I was the first to take off my sword. How could I resist? I surrender to you too."

"As for the conditions, I want to retain the rule of Wetland Town, ahem, just kidding. I am not talented enough to manage Wetland Town anymore. Let you take charge."

Bauer wanted to test Ryan's bottom line, but when he saw Ryan's cold eyes, he immediately changed his words and handed Wetland Town to Ryan from the bottom of his heart.

He sighed helplessly and muttered silently in his heart:

"My ancestors, please don't blame me. I don't want to give up the territory that has been passed down for a long time in my family, but I can't do it!"

"This Baron Ryan is too abnormal. He can even conquer natural disasters. If I don't give him the territory, the whole family will be at risk of destruction."

"For the blood inheritance of the family, I can only choose to surrender humiliatingly."

"But please rest assured, ancestors, I will spread more family seeds, increase family members, and retain the hope of re-emergence."

"I don't believe that I can't give birth to such an excellent descendant like Ryan!"

Ball's eyes gradually became firm. For the future rise of the family, he could only suffer from his body. This is the responsibility that he, the patriarch, should bear!

Of course, to achieve this goal, in addition to being energetic, you also need a lot of money. Raising children is very expensive.

Therefore, Bauer stated his surrender conditions: "I want to keep two-thirds of my private treasury. No, I want to keep half of it. It would be better if I could share the tax revenue of Wetland Town."

Bauer saw Ryan frowning, and quickly changed his words: "It's okay if there is none. I just said it casually."

Ryan thought for a moment and said to Bauer: "The laws of the kingdom stipulate that private property is inviolable. You don't have to hand in your private treasury. You can keep it all."

"It is impossible to give you a share of the tax revenue. It is related to the ruling power of the town. If it is given to you, neither you nor I will feel at ease."

Hearing this, Bauer was stunned at first, and then he reacted and wanted to slap himself.

I was really blinded by money and dared to ask Ryan for taxes.

You must know that tax revenue is one of the most important powers in the territory. As the former lord of the town, he is still obsessed with tax revenue. Isn't this looking for death!

He didn't know whether Ryan would feel at ease at that time, anyway, he would probably rest in peace directly!

"Sorry, I didn't think it through. I only need half of the private treasury. The tax revenue of Wetland Town has nothing to do with me!" Ball explained in a panic.

Ryan said calmly: "Don't be nervous. I know you don't want to live off the fat of the land and keep your family rich."

"Let's do this. I allow you to do business in my territory. How much money you can make depends on your own ability. Your private treasury will be left to you as capital."

Ryan was not interested in Ball's private treasury. With the two major businesses of Pokémon Balls and potions, he didn't lack these gold coins now.

What's more, Ball would always spend money. As long as Ball stayed in his territory honestly, these gold coins would flow into his pocket sooner or later.

The reason why Ryan asked Bauer to do business was because he felt that the surrendered lord should not be idle. Once he is idle, he can't help but recall his past as a lord, and he may have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Although it was almost impossible for them to pose a threat to Lane, Lane also found it troublesome, so he thought of finding something for them to do, such as letting Baron Lancaster manage the garden.

Karloff and Bauer will not be idle after they surrender. He will recruit the former under his command and follow him to fight everywhere in the future.

As for the latter, let him do some business. No matter whether it is profit or loss, Ryan will not lose anything, and it can even increase the GDP of the territory.

"Do you want to do business? Although I don't want to be compared with those lowly businessmen, I might as well give it a try, just to have fun in the boring life in the future."

Thinking of this, Baron Ball nodded and agreed. From then on, a famous villain appeared in Yinghuo Town.

Seeing that the three Sotos had formally surrendered to him, Ryan felt that it was time to end the war.

He took the three barons who surrendered to another battlefield.

The knights who were still fighting saw the three barons taking off their swords and following Ryan, and understood what was happening.

They stood there slumped, their eyes full of sorrow and confusion.

Ryan also stopped the players who wanted to take the opportunity to kill these knights. Since he agreed to the conditions of Soto and others, he would not go back on his word.

If other game protagonists dare to stop and kill the red-eyed player, they might be killed by the player as a BOSS.

Who do you think you are, you dare to teach us how to do the fourth natural disaster!

However, Ryan is different. Players are not afraid of heaven or earth, but they are afraid of Ryan's power to ban titles.

So the players reluctantly stopped attacking and prepared to watch the cutscene.

Looking at the players holding their heads, holding their ears, and covered in blood, the corners of Ryan's mouth twitched slightly.

The ancient method of recording merit is indeed convenient and has the effect of intimidating the enemy. The only drawback is that it is too bloody. Next time, let Xiao Luo record the entire meritorious process.

"Soto! How can you surrender? I won't allow you to surrender!"

A roar came over, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Williams holding a sword and walking over menacingly.

Upon seeing this, Torre and others subconsciously wanted to protect Soto, but were glared back by Ryan.

Soto looked at Williams, who had an angry look on his face. He was not frightened by his aura. Instead, he smiled:

"Old guy, I am surrendering to Baron Lane, not to you. Why do I need your permission? Do you think your status is higher than Baron Lane?"

"you!"

When Williams heard this, he stopped immediately. He glared at Soto angrily, then raised his head and explained to Ryan, who was sitting on Kuailong's back:

"Baron Lane, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Ryan waved his hand and interrupted Williams: "I know what you want to say, don't worry, I will not interfere in the grudges between your two families."

"Oh, old man, you are so smart, but you were confused for a moment. It seems that your reason was completely destroyed by anger, and you couldn't even tell that I was deliberately instigating you."

Soto sneered and continued:

"As you get older, don't hold on to your seat. Leave it to the young people quickly. Oh yes, you seem to have handed it over to the young people. I still admire you for this. You are still as decisive as ever. "

After Williams heard these words, he gradually calmed down. He drew out his sword and asked Soto:

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Nothing, I just want to have a chat with you, my old rival, and then completely end the feud between our two families."

"But before that, I have to give one last order to my knights."

Soto turned to look at Torre and the others, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and then he said loudly:

"Knight Commander Torre obeys the order!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Torre had tears in his eyes, as if he had anticipated Soto's next order.

"I order you to lead the Silver Leaf Knights, be loyal to Lord Ryan, and never betray him!"

"Lord Soto!!"

"Shut up! Do you want to disobey the lord's order?" Soto scolded stiffly.

"I don't dare, my subordinates"

Facing Soto's expectant gaze, Tore got stuck. He knew that Soto wanted to use the Silver Leaf Knights' allegiance in exchange for Ryan's protection of the Soto family.

Just like Baron Bach of Ironthorn Town, although he died, his family members and descendants are still alive and well. A large part of the reason is that Notz led the Ironthorn Knights to be loyal to Ryan.

Even if the knights who pledged their allegiance to Ryan have nothing to do with the Bach family, the Iron Thorn Knights will not even obey the orders of Bach's son.

But as long as the Bach family doesn't get confused and doesn't provoke Ryan, they will be safe. Ryan will never get rid of them at will. Doing so will only chill the hearts of the Iron Thorn Knights.

Therefore, Torre must accept Soto's order.

"As you command!"

Torre loudly accepted the order, then quickly came to Ryan, raised the knight sword with both hands, and swore allegiance to Ryan.

Ryan was not surprised by Soto's order. Nobles have always paid attention to the inheritance of the family's bloodline. Even if the territory is lost, they must keep their own bloodline.

Whether it is Baron Lancaster of Rose Town or Knight Captain Notts of Ironthorn Town, they all want to use the loyalty of the knights in exchange for the family bloodline not being cut off.

Lian naturally would not refuse the loyalty given for free.

This was not the first time he had experienced this. He took Torre's knight's sword very skillfully and accepted his loyalty.

The other two barons also wanted their knights to swear allegiance to Ryan, but were stopped by Ryan.

There was no rush for loyalty. The knights would not run away. Let's end this war first.

Ryan threw the sword to Soto without saying a word.

But Soto also knew what he should do. After taking the sword, he slowly drew out the blade and pointed it at Williams on the opposite side:

"Old man, do you dare to have a knight duel!"

"Come on!"

Williams said briefly and then swung his sword at Soto.

"Clang!"

The two swords collided with each other, splashing sparks.

Although their moves were not gorgeous, they were deadly. At first glance, they were sword skills honed on the battlefield.

Ryan watched their fight with great interest, and he was amazed. The swordsmanship of these two people was much better than his, but he was not envious.

What era is this? Who still duels with knights? Are the moves of Pokémon not strong?

No matter how strong the Japanese Iai is, it can't beat the American Iai. A sword can't even beat a gun, let alone Pokémon.

My lord, times have changed!

Just as Ryan's thoughts gradually drifted away, the duel on the field was about to be decided.

Soto, who had long been determined to die, was naturally no match for Williams and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After the two collided again, Soto whispered:

"Baron Williams, although the grievances between our two families were not started by us, they can be ended by us. Let my blood wash away the hatred of the two families!"

After that, Soto's arm holding the sword loosened, and Williams pressed down and cut Soto's throat.

After watching Soto fall down with a smile on his face, Williams' expression was extremely complicated.

He certainly knew why Soto said that just now. Soto was afraid that he would cause trouble for his family members, so he showed weakness.

"Boy, you underestimate me too much. I don't need you to remind me that the feud between the two families should really end."

Williams murmured to himself, stroking the sword in his hand, his eyes filled with tears, reflecting the figure of his son.

He wiped the blood off the sword, carefully put it back into the scabbard, then took off his sword and solemnly presented it to Ryan:

"You have fulfilled your promise to me, and it's my turn to fulfill my promise."

"I, Baron Williams, represent Feiyu Town and pledge my loyalty to you. From today on, you are the lord of Feiyu Town."

Ryan did not push and naturally took Williams' sword.

He raised his sword high and shouted in an excited voice:

"We have won!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the task panel, which had been silent for a long time, received a task reminder.
