my pokemon player.

"So what should we do next?" Lin Mu asked Hao Ren.

Hao Ren replied: "My suggestion is to join another group of NPC knights and follow them to destroy the siege equipment of Yinye Town."

"The event announcement clearly states that as long as the actions taken by players are conducive to their side's victory in the war, they can accumulate merit."

"Destroying the enemy's siege equipment is undoubtedly one of them. Moreover, the enemy only left a few knights to protect the equipment. They are weak and it is difficult to move the siege equipment. They can't escape at will."

"This kind of enemy that can neither defeat us nor escape from us is the most suitable for us."

After hearing Hao Ren's answer, Lin Mu's eyes lit up, and he clenched his right fist and hit the palm of his left hand:

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

"Those siege engines are sitting ducks for our brick-moving team!"

"Our Pokémon also likes to deal with large machines. They can definitely smash them to pieces."

Qian Duoduo muttered softly when he heard this: "Good fellow, the brick-moving team has been changed into a demolition team. They are indeed civil engineering dogs."

"What did you say?" Lin Mu didn't hear clearly what Qian Duoduo said.

"I think this is a good suggestion. Can you take a few of us with you? We can lay the foundation for future cooperation."

Qian Duoduo said with a smile, and did not forget to signal the newbie next to him with his eyes.

The newbies also understood Qian Duoduo's meaning and immediately begged Lin Mu:
"Senior, please, take us with you~"

"We don't want to be slaves anymore. We also want merit."

"You are our Lincoln!"

Lin Mu listened to the requests from the newbies, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead:

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want a hole in my head."

However, he could not resist the newbie's plea and nodded in agreement:
"Forget it, I can take you with me, but you have to follow my orders and not act on your own."

"Let's make it clear in advance that the Silver Leaf Knights and their followers are our targets. With your strength, you can only deal with the militiamen who control the equipment."

Seeing that Lin Mu agreed, the newbies nodded happily:
"Don't worry, we are not the kind of ignorant young people. We are very grateful that you can give the militia to us."

"When our strength improves in the future, we will definitely repay your kindness!"

Looking at the newbies with sincere faces, Lin Mu was very satisfied.

He didn't care about favors, but the attitude of these newbies made him feel very comfortable. Unlike some newbies, they acted like they were worth a fortune and acted as if someone owed them something.

Qian Duoduo's eyes rolled around when he saw this, and then he whispered to Lin Mu:

"How are these newbies I found? They are solid and hardworking, loyal and righteous, and the Pokémon they captured have great potential."

Lin Mu thought Qian Duoduo was showing off to him, so he deliberately joked:

"Well, they are all good talents. Why not let them join my brick-moving team?"

"How can this be possible? They are all talents that I value, and they will join the Players' Chamber of Commerce in the future!" Qian Duoduo refused sternly.

Seeing Qian Duoduo's serious expression, Lin Mu was about to explain that he was joking, but Qian Duoduo changed the subject:
"Unless you add more money!"

"what?"

Lin Mu looked at Qian Duoduo in surprise, and saw that his eyes were full of desire for the Elf Coins:
"If you give me more investment, I will give you these good seedlings."

Hearing this, Lin Mu finally understood what Qian Duoduo was planning. It turned out that this guy was going back to his old ways and preparing to buy and sell black people.

"You should keep it for yourself. Follow me, brothers. Target the enemy's siege equipment!"

"okay!"

Seeing Lin Mu turning away, Qian Duoduo suddenly became anxious:

"Hey, don't go, let's discuss this!"

"These are the original shares of the Chamber of Commerce. You won't lose anything if you invest more Elf Coins!"

Qian Duoduo shouted as he followed Lin Mu, not forgetting to turn around and say to the newbies standing there:
"What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and catch up. I don't want any merit anymore."

"oh oh!"

The newbies finally reacted and quickly trotted over to Lin Mu's side.

A group of people rushed towards the siege equipment of Yinye Town with great momentum, and this scene also attracted the attention of the indigenous knights.

"These trainers are quite smart. They know what kind of goals are best for them."

An Ironthorn Knight praised Lin Mu and the others, then turned to look at the other group of players being wantonly slaughtered by Torre, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Unlike other trainers, who get too excited and fail to recognize the difference in strength, and rush to give the enemy Knight Commander a head."

"Should we stop them and prevent them from going to their deaths again?" said another Firefly Knight with a reluctant look on his face.

Ironthorn Knight shook his head: "From what I know, you have the largest number of trainers in Firefly Town. You should have come into contact with them quite often. Don't you know what kind of people they are?"

"These trainers behave strangely and think differently from ordinary people. They often do things that we cannot understand."

"Besides, they don't like being constrained. Apart from the Lord, even the Knight Commanders cannot command them. We are just ordinary knights. How can they possibly listen to us?"

When Firefly Knight heard this, he recalled all the players' tricks in his mind, and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"That's true. Maybe that's why Knight Commander Noz allowed them to move freely."

"Not only that, Knight Commander Noz also told us not to interfere with the actions of the trainers. He also said that they should be the main force in this war, and we can only cooperate on the sidelines. Even if the trainers suffer heavy casualties, we cannot intervene at will."

Ironthorn Knight looked very depressed. He couldn't understand why Knight Commander Noz gave such an order.

Did Lord Noz have a grudge against the trainers? Did he want them to die?

This shouldn't be the case. Knight Commander Noz is an upright person and extremely loyal to the lord. He would never do such a thing.

Could this be an order from the lord? In order to make these trainers grow quickly, there is no need to do this.

The Ironthorn Knight was puzzled, while the Firefly Knight beside him said thoughtfully:

"It seems that the rumor might be true."

"What rumors?" Ironthorn Knight asked curiously.

The Firefly Knight did not hide anything and told the rumors he had heard:
"It is said that the Lord has been blessed by the gods, so he was able to develop and expand the territory in a short period of time and produce various magical items."

"Rumor has it that these trainers were sent by the gods to help the Lord. They will not really die, and even if they die, they can be resurrected again."

After hearing this, Ironthorn Knight showed an expression of disbelief:
"Fuck, is this true? Has the Lord been favored by the Sea God?"

"I don't know either. Didn't I say it was just a rumor? How come you, the Ironthorn Knights, are also learning the trainer's weird words?" "Well, their words are quite interesting. Let's not talk about that for now. Where did you hear this rumor?"

Firefly Knight replied: "Many people are talking about this rumor. The whole Firefly Town is spreading it."

"Is there no one stepping forward to stop it? Doesn't your Firefly Town have a candidate for the Saint of the Temple of the Sea God?" Ironthorn Knight continued to ask.

Firefly Knight shrugged and said, "No, as for the Saint candidate, you may not believe it, but after hearing the rumor, she was not angry at all, but was very interested in it."

"The lord did not step forward to stop it, and the candidate for the Saint of the Temple of the Sea God did not express any objection, which means that this rumor is very likely to be true!" Ironthorn Knight said excitedly.

"Think about it carefully. This rumor is not without factual basis. Just as you said, if it weren't for the favor of the Sea God, how could the Lord who had just taken over the territory not long ago defeat Baron Bach, let alone produce so many magical props."

The Ironthorn Knight became more and more excited as he spoke: "This rumor can also explain the strange behavior of those trainers. After all, they were sent by the gods, so their words and deeds are naturally different from ours."

"And they are not afraid of death, so the lord ordered them to send... ahem, that's why he made them the main force in this war."

When the other knights heard the Ironthorn Knight's explanation, they all nodded subconsciously, thinking that what he said made sense.

Only the Firefly Knight whispered, "It may not be the God of the Sea, maybe it is another god."

When the Ironthorn Knight heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand:
"No matter what god it is, as long as he is willing to favor our lord, we will give him our faith!"

Other knights also echoed: "That's right, we are not believers of the Temple of the Sea God. As nobles, we have the right to decide our own beliefs."

"It's best if he's not Poseidon. I've long disliked those charlatans in Poseidon Temple. Sooner or later, I'll demolish Poseidon Temple in the city!"

"Hush, aren't you afraid that His Majesty the Sea God will hear you?"

"What are you afraid of? We are under the protection of the gods now. Besides, Poseidon has several cavalry teams!"

"Poseidon does not have a cavalry, but the Poseidon Temple has three major knight orders."

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Seagod. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

"Cut~"

The knights joked with each other, their faces filled with excited smiles.

This is also normal. No matter who knows that their forces have the help of gods, they will be extremely excited. This means that as long as they follow Lord Ryan closely, their future will be bright.

Because of this, the knights are more loyal to Ryan, especially the Ironthorn Knight.

Although the Ironthorn Knight had pledged allegiance to Ryan before and would not betray him easily, he was not yet willing to die for Ryan.

Who made Ryan execute a group of rebellious Ironthorn Knights? They felt a little sad about the loss of their loved ones.

However, when they learned that Ryan was favored by the gods, their loyalty soared.

If the Ironthorn Knights of the past would surrender without hesitation after being defeated by the enemy, the Ironthorn Knights of today will fight to the last moment, even at the cost of their lives.

After all, people in this era still believe in gods, and this is also an important reason why Ryan did not stop the rumors.

Another reason is that as the number of players increases, the natives will sooner or later discover the abnormalities of the players.

Rather than continue hiding it, it is better to use rumors to prepare the indigenous people mentally and pave the way for revealing the truth in the future.

Anyway, Firefly Town is becoming more and more powerful, and it has reached a cooperation with Saint Elsa, and is no longer as afraid of the Temple of Poseidon as before.

What's more, this is just a rumor. Ryan has never denied it, but he has never admitted it either. The Temple of Poseidon can't catch him.

"Okay, let's end this topic here. Remember, what we just said is just rumors and speculations. They can only be circulated within the Cavaliers team and are not allowed to be spread outside. Do you understand?"

The Ironthorn Knight said sternly that since Lord Ryan had no intention of revealing the truth, they should not speak carelessly, lest they bring trouble to the territory.

"Understood!" the knights answered in unison.

The Ironthorn Knight then ordered, "Very good, the small talk is over, now it's time to get down to business."

"Although the trainers may not die, we can't let the Silver Knights slaughter them. Use [Shoot Down] to hinder the Silver Knights' actions!"

"As ordered!"

The knights began to command the unicorn rhinos under their crotch to use the [Shoot Down] skill, and rocks rained down on the Silver Leaf Knights.

Although the Silver Leaf Knights were barely hit, the rocks that fell to the ground still significantly slowed them down.

The players were overjoyed when they saw this, these NPC knights did a great job!
Not only did he not steal their monsters, he also assisted them.

The players had never seen such a considerate NPC before. They all gave the knights a thumbs up and then rushed towards the Silver Leaf Knight with a grin.

"Damn it, don't these beast masters have brains? The Knights of Firefly Town are obviously treating them as cannon fodder, but they are still enjoying it. What are they trying to do?"

Torre said indignantly that he didn't understand why these beast masters were so fanatical. Did they have a grudge against Yinye Town?

"I told you that these beast masters are a bunch of lunatics." The Silver Leaf Knight who escaped back responded, with a tone of relief that his injustice had been redressed.

"Shut up! If you try to shake the morale of the army again, I will kill you immediately!" Torre shouted angrily.

"Yes!"

Looking at the silent Silver Leaf Knights, Torre sighed in his heart.

The Silver Leaf Knights had already lost their will to fight, and no one wanted to die at the hands of a group of lunatics.

Torre looked at the siege equipment in the rear again, and saw that the soldiers who stayed behind were defeated by the air knights of Feiyu Town and the reinforcements of Yinghuo Town, and the siege equipment was almost completely lost.

Although Torre was reluctant to admit it, it turned out that this attack was their loss.

But they still have hope. As long as Lord Soto can defeat the enemy's advanced combat power, they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!
So Torre turned his head and looked at another battlefield, his eyes filled with anticipation.

It’s a pity that Soto couldn’t meet Torre’s expectations, and he himself couldn’t save himself.

Seeing that they were losing ground in both the competition of advanced combat power and the battles of his troops, Soto knew that this attack was doomed to fail, so he also thought of retreating.

After commanding Bulbasaur to use [Photosynthesis] to recover, Soto shouted to the other two lords:

"Baron Bauer, Baron Karlov, prepare to retreat!"

Karlov would not refuse, and Bauer roared:
"It's easy for you to say. I told you to retreat a long time ago, but you didn't. Now our monsters are in a very bad state. Do you think Williams and the others will let us retreat easily?"

Williams laughed: "Baron Bauer is right. Now that you are here, don't leave. We in Feiyu Town have always been hospitable. You should all stay!"

"Friend Noz, don't let them escape!"

"OK!" Noz responded casually.

"What the hell?" (End of this chapter)
