My Pokémon Player

The originally panicked guards gradually calmed down under Connor's command, and the civilians who had just left ran back in panic.

When facing danger, they still subconsciously wanted to seek the protection of the guards.

The guards also wanted to use the civilians as human shields to block the enemy's bombing tactics, so they did not drive them away.

Looking at the civilians with fear on their faces and the guards with nervous expressions, Connor shook his head helplessly.

He said he was ready to meet the enemy, but in fact he was waiting for the judgment of fate.

If the enemy really threw the hazelnut ball regardless, even if he tried his best to protect the civilians, there would still be heavy casualties.

At that time, the guards who prevented the civilians from retreating would undoubtedly become sinners, and no matter what the final outcome of the war would be, his conscience would be condemned.

Robin was also feeling uneasy. He pursed his lips and asked Connor:

"Lord Connor, do you think the enemy will drop the hazelnut ball?"

Connor replied: "I don't know, but according to the past behavior of Viscount Ryan, as long as he receives the news that the civilians have not retreated, he should not use the hazelnut ball tactics again."

Although Connor didn't want to admit it, Snake's countermeasure was indeed simple and effective.

But if Ryan wanted to occupy Guanhai City, he couldn't bomb the civilians in the city at will.

So Connor's mood was very complicated. The more useful the countermeasure was, the more it showed that Ryan cared about the civilians.

Compared to the Chamber of Commerce, which used civilians as a shield, it seemed that only Ryan could protect Guanhai City.

Robin was very nervous at the moment. He didn't notice the entanglement on Connor's face, but continued to ask:

"What if the enemy didn't receive the news?"

When Connor heard this, he glanced at Robin with a strange look, as if asking Robin if his brain was really broken.

Robin blushed when he saw this, and he also realized that he asked a stupid question.

"How could Viscount Ryan not receive the news? He even knew which street we took during the night attack. He must have undercover agents in the Chamber of Commerce and the escort team."

"Not to mention that we are still deliberately spreading the news. We are just short of writing to him directly. It would be strange if he didn't receive the news!"

"Robin, calm down and don't let last night's failure become your burden." Connor reminded gently.

He could probably guess why Robin, who has always been smart, asked such a simple question. It was nothing more than last night's disastrous defeat that left Robin with a psychological shadow, and he began to look ahead and behind, afraid of failure.

If Robin's previous shortcoming was arrogance, then now he has gone to the other extreme, becoming timid and losing confidence and determination.

Otherwise, even with his father's instructions, Robin would not be so pessimistic about this war.

"I'll say it again, last night's defeat is not your fault alone, don't blame yourself too much."

"You can lead most of the guards who lost their main monsters to break through the numerous ambushes set up by the enemy in advance, which is already very good."

"If Will, that rubbish, was in charge, I might not see you at all." Connor said jokingly with a smile.

Connor had no way to deal with Robin's change of mentality, so he could only comfort him with words to reduce his psychological burden.

Robin could naturally hear the concern in Connor's words, and he forced a smile:

"So, my strong request for command last night also saved my life."

"Well, why don't you thank yourself for saving your life." Connor said cooperatively.

Robin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, don't comfort me. I am a little confused now, but it doesn't affect my fighting."

"At least before the end of this war, I still have a certain degree of combat ability."

"It's a pity that my Great Sword Ghost disappeared. Although it is not my main magic beast, it is also a good combat force."

"Viscount Ryan's method is really magical. He can actually take our Poké Balls from a distance."

"Everyone in our first team has two or three Poké Balls. I thought it was a benefit, but I didn't expect it to be a 'fishing net' that took away all our magic beasts."

"I am lucky. The main magic beast happened to not stay in the Poké Ball. The other guards either lost their main magic beasts or had no magic beasts left. They could only temporarily command the nobles' magic beasts, and their strength dropped significantly."

"The reason why we couldn't break through last night was because our strength weakened. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been dragged down for so long by that group of crazy people who didn't care about their lives!"

At the end, Robin clenched his fists tightly.

Obviously, he was still upset about the battle last night.

Seeing this, Connor changed the subject and said, "It seems that Viscount Ryan has been plotting against Guanhai City for a long time. He sold us Pokéballs and bribed undercover agents. It's not unfair that we lost these battles."

"Speaking of undercover agents, have you found them?" Robin was indeed attracted by the word undercover.

Connor said with a serious expression, "No, the person I suspected before did not do anything tricky. Instead, he behaved very honestly and didn't look like an undercover."

"If there is no undercover in the escort team, could it be that the undercover is from the Chamber of Commerce?" Robin asked with a frown.

Connor thought, "It's not impossible, but I don't know much about the Chamber of Commerce, and I can't find the suspect for a while."

"Humph, those who know about the night attack plan are all high-level members of the Chamber of Commerce. Even they have been bribed. The Chamber of Commerce is really rotten. Only my great-grandfather still regards the Chamber of Commerce as a treasure!" Robin snorted coldly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The enemy has already flown over. Get ready to meet the enemy." Connor raised his head and said.

The two didn't talk for long, but the air force was flying very fast and was about to fly over them.

"Blastoise, use Rain!"

Just in case, Connor immediately ordered the water arrow turtle next to him to try to use rain to weaken the power of the hazelnut ball's self-destruction.

"Kama!"

The water arrow turtle stretched out the two cannon barrels in the turtle shell and fired two blue balls of light into the sky.

As the blue light ball dispersed in the sky, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky.

Soon, the raindrops fell from the clouds and hit the ground, splashing a layer of white rain and mist.

The range and duration of the [Pray for Rain] move are affected by the strength of the monster itself.

Needless to say, the strength of the Water Arrow Turtle was why the rain was particularly heavy.

However, this trick only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. No matter how powerful the Water Arrow Turtle is, it will not be able to spread dark clouds throughout Guanhai City.

What's more, rain can only increase the humidity in the nearby area, weaken the power of the hazelnut ball's self-explosion, and cannot make the hazelnut ball misfire.

"Lord Connor, besides rain, is there any other way to deal with the hazelnut ball's self-destruction?" Robin said, wiping the rain off his face.

"I don't know if there is any other method. The method to increase the humidity is something I found out from the World of Warcraft information in the Chamber of Commerce."

"You also know that although our chamber of commerce seems to have a lot of Warcraft information, the content is mostly ambiguous."

"If we hadn't encountered Hazelnut Balls from time to time on the trade route, and the information suggested that caravans pass through the areas where Hazelnut Balls live on rainy days, I wouldn't have even thought of a way to pray for rain."

"The foundation of our Chamber of Commerce is still too weak. Perhaps the best way to deal with the hazelnut ball's self-explosion will be recorded in the family heirlooms of the great nobles."

As Connor spoke, he handed the umbrella he had prepared in advance to a little girl and asked her to take shelter from the rain under the eaves next to her.

After asking for permission from her parents, the little girl took the umbrella with a smile, said thank you to Connor in a sweet voice, and then walked to the eaves of the roadside with her umbrella in hand.

Robin looked at the enemy whose figure became clearer in the sky and said, "No, I don't think the news about hazelnut balls will be recorded in the books of the great nobles."

"After all, before this, no one had ever thought of throwing hazelnut balls into the war. No matter how rich the noble family was, they would not waste the hazelnut balls. The animal skin scroll records that as long as they don't get close, there will be no danger of hazelnut balls."

"To be honest, I quite admire Viscount Lane. Not only is he powerful and capable of mastering natural disasters, but he also has a strong personality that makes knights willing to die for him."

"Although the enemies last night were not very strong, they were all brave men who were not afraid of death. It would not be a shame to lose to them."

"The most important thing is that Viscount Lane's wisdom and strategy are very good. Whether it is the early layout of Guanhai City or this novel hazelnut ball tactic, it is difficult for us to resist. No wonder he has never had anything since he took over the territory. One defeat.”

Connor raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You are not admiring it, but it is more like admiration. You can't even understand your great grandfather, but you would praise a young man?"

Robin said noncommittally: "You know me. I believe in the law of the jungle. This is also the purpose of the first team. We only respect the strong, regardless of age or seniority."

"Only the strong can protect Guanhai City and prevent Guanhai City from being invaded again and again."

When Connor heard Robin say this, he looked at the other person deeply, and then said calmly:

"You should save these words in front of Viscount Lane. He won't hear your flattery here."

Robin shrugged: "I'm just telling the truth, but you may be upset."

"Shut up, what you have to do now is to pray silently in your heart that Viscount Lane is as good as you said, otherwise we will be in trouble!"

Connor looked at the swooping air troops, secretly raising his alert, ready to give orders to the Water Arrow Turtle at any time.

Robin didn't say anything more. He also wanted to see the courage of Viscount Lane.

If Ryan really ordered the bombing of civilians, then he might have to disobey his family's orders and die here.

Seeing the air force getting closer and closer to them, the escort gradually became commotion.

Connor and Robin had no intention of scolding them, but stared intently into the air.

When the enemy's air force dived to a certain height, it suddenly stopped and began to hover in mid-air.

Just as Connor was thinking about whether to strike first, a voice from the air interrupted his thoughts.

"Ahem, sound check, can you hear me?"

"Hey, hey, is Qiu Ya here? Is Qiu Ya here?"

"Damn it, who the hell is this evil guy who made the Pokémon beg for rain? It drenched me to death!"

Listening to the slightly distorted but loud words coming from the air, Connor and Robin looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

They didn't understand what these air knights were trying to do, but the good news was that the enemy didn't seem to have any intention of throwing hazelnut balls.

Before the two of them could think about it, a vague sound came from the air again.

"Okay, stop %\u0026, our loudspeaker is very crude and can't amplify much#\u0026, and it's a rainy day, so we have to shout together to\u0026#%# hear clearly\u0026*#."

The knight probably didn't use a loudspeaker, so the two of them didn't hear his words clearly.

But it is not difficult to hear that these knights want to pass on the message to them. Could it be that they want to persuade them to surrender?

"Lord Connor, what should we do now?" Robin asked Connor in a low voice.

After thinking for a moment, Connor replied: "Listen to what they have to say first, it is best not to anger them."

"It is said that these air knights are not in a good mental state, and they like to hold the hazelnut ball and blow themselves up at any time."

"Let's not stimulate them, let them finish their words, so that they don't do irrational behavior."

Robin nodded slightly: "I understand."

After that, he waved to the guards around him, signaling them not to take the initiative to attack.

Just after he gave the order, the air force seemed to have discussed it, and a voice came from above again.

This time the voice was shouted by them in unison, and the volume was louder, and it could be heard clearly even on rainy days.

"Respectfully inform all the civilians of Guanhai City: We are the air force under Viscount Ryan, and we are here to reveal the truth of this war to you on behalf of the Viscount."

After these words came out, Connor and Robin were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened. They already knew what Ryan was going to do.

"Bluse, beat them for me."

Connor threw his previous words behind his head and wanted to command Blastoise to interrupt the speech of the air force.

But halfway through his words, he paused again.

He was not afraid of angering the air force, but suddenly realized that he could not stop the other party from speaking.

Even if his Blastoise and Robin's Sniper Tree Owl were both good at air combat and could easily kill these air knights, so what.

There must be air knights in other places. As long as one civilian heard their speech, other civilians would also know the news.

Thinking of this, Connor sighed dejectedly, and he lowered his head silently, not knowing how to face the civilians hiding from the rain.

Robin patted Connor on the shoulder, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Of course, the heads of other regions would not sit still and wait for death, especially Captain Snake who made the plan.

The moment he heard the player's speech, he ordered an attack on the air force.

However, they had no effective means of air defense, so they could only let the air force continue to speak.

". The above is the reason why we attacked Guanhai City. We are not enemies who come to invade and destroy your homeland."

"We just want the Chamber of Commerce to pay the price it deserves, and at the same time help you get rid of the oppression and exploitation of unscrupulous businessmen!"

"On the contrary, the Chamber of Commerce is the enemy of Guanhai City. They have set aside the lords and exploited the civilians. Instead of protecting you, they use you as bargaining chips on the battlefield."

"Do you know why the guards want to prevent civilians from evacuating? We will tell you the answer!"

At this point, the various air teams stopped talking and threw a black shadow from the sky.

Connor's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Hazelnut ball! Find a shelter!"

Robin on the side did not panic. He grabbed Connor's arm and said:

"Sir, don't get excited. This hazelnut ball is not coming for us!"

After hearing this, Connor noticed that the hazelnut ball was falling towards an open space.

Seeing this scene, Connor's expression first relaxed, and then revealed a bitterness.

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by a roar, Connor's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

He knew that from this moment on, the Chamber of Commerce had completely lost the support of the people. (End of this chapter)
