my pokemon player.

"We are victorious!"

"Yeah, we win again!"

"Lord Ryan is awesome!!"

Although the players didn't kill enough, they still responded to Ryan in a cooperative manner.

Under their leadership, the indigenous knights also struck their weapons and cheered.

After hearing the cheers, the defeated Three Towns Alliance soldiers looked even more depressed. They lowered their heads, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.

The ones who were terrified were the militiamen, because their fate after being defeated and captured was often not good. They were either sold as slaves to merchants, or forced to do the hardest, most tiring, and extremely dangerous work.

No matter what the outcome is, they will not be able to return home, and may even die in a foreign land, so they will naturally feel terrified.

Unlike the militia, the defeated knights did not worry about their miserable end. As nobles, they would be treated with kindness even if they were captured by the enemy.

After all, the enemy's lord is also a noble, and they may even be related to each other. No one wants to be too ruthless. After all, no one can guarantee that they will never be defeated.

Therefore, in most cases, the captured nobles would be treated with dignity while waiting for their families or the lord to pay for their redemption.

But the problem is that their lord also surrendered, gave up the rule of the territory, and handed over the town to Ryan, which resulted in good news and bad news.

The good news is that they will be knights under Ryan in the future. They don't have to be prisoners for even a day, and their families don't have to raise a ransom.

The bad news is that they heard that Ryan did not pay much attention to the knights, but was vigorously training beast masters. It can be seen from this war that compared with the knights who were mainly responsible for cover and support, the beast masters were the main force.

Moreover, the performance of these beast masters was very good. Not only were they high-spirited and fearless of death, they also defeated the enemy troops step by step.

This also made the knights feel confused and worried about the future. They didn't know how Ryan would arrange them. Would they remain the same as before, or would they be marginalized and have their fiefdoms and power taken away by Ryan?
The defeated knights were very conflicted. If they had not just been defeated and the timing and atmosphere were not right, they would have wanted to ask the knights of Firefly Town for information.

Of course, not all knights are in such a dilemma. The reckless men in Wudou Town do not have such troubles.

After they learned from Karlov that their lord had been defeated miserably, they immediately changed their allegiance and followed Karlov to recognize Ryan as their boss.

In their view, it is natural for the weak to obey the strong. Karlov defeated them, so they recognized Karlov as the lord. If Ryan beat Karlov, then they would obey Ryan's orders.

No matter what orders Ryan gave, they would do it, not worrying about their own fiefdoms and power at all. As long as they could continue to fight, Ryan could take it away if he wanted, they didn't care at all.

What's more, the crazy performance of the players is very much to their liking, and they don't mind fighting alongside the players.

Some knights in the fighting town started to become friends with other players right after the battle. They were clearly fighting a life-and-death battle just now, but now they were chatting with each other arm in arm.

"You were so treacherous just now, you even wanted to behead me!"

"Hehe, this is not a success. Brother Knight's reaction is really fast and his strength is also very strong. He can actually block the attack of Pokémon."

"Not bad, I didn't build these muscles for nothing, I conquered the naughty panda with my fists, my dream is to defeat Onix with my fists!"

"Great, great! By the way, is Naughty Panda your original form as a domineering panda? Where did you capture it?"

"It's in Cuifeng Mountain next to Wudou Town. There are several tribes of domineering pandas living on the mountain."

"Is it close to Wudou Town? Then can you take us to see it in a few days?"

"You are also interested in Tyrannical Pandas? You have a good vision. Tyrannical Pandas are much stronger than Hao Li, but it is not that easy to subdue them. It is best to defeat them personally."

"Ah? In person? Then I'd better sign up for a Sanda class first~"

"What class?"

Ryan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the players chatting enthusiastically with the knights of Wudou Town. They all had very familiar personalities and seemed to have "birds of a feather flock together".

However, Ryan also likes these straightforward knights and plans to focus on training them.

As for the knights of Silver Leaf Town and Wetland Town, if they were sensible and voluntarily gave up their fiefdoms and power, Ryan would treat them equally.

If they hold on to the fiefdom, Ryan will have to launch another cleansing campaign.

But the last time the Ironthorn Knights were executed, it was because they intended to rebel, which was an unforgivable crime. What excuse would they use this time? Should they put the blame on the Church of Shadows?

Anyway, they have committed serious sins, so they don't mind taking the blame.

Speaking of the Shadow Church, I seem to have forgotten to ask who gave Soto the black crystal.

Although Soto certainly didn't know much information, it was better to have some information than nothing.

Thinking of this, Ryan frowned slightly and muttered to himself:

"The Shadow Church is really good at hiding. Could it be that they all ran to the sea to look for Moltres?"

"Excuse me, is the Shadow Church you mentioned the evil church wanted by the Kingdom and the Sea God Temple?"

The sudden voice interrupted Ryan's thoughts. He looked up and saw Williams coming to his side with Soto's family crest in his hand.

Seeing Ryan's gaze, Williams quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. I just wanted to ask you to give me the Soto family crest and sword. I want to use them to commemorate my son's soul."

"I accidentally heard you mention the Shadow Church. Knight Commander Noz was also concerned about the black crystal in Soto's hand. Are you interested in the information about the Shadow Church? I may be able to provide some information."

Ryan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You have information about the Shadow Church?"

Williams shook his head: "I'm not sure either. Last year, our Feiyu Town and Yinye Town fought back-to-back battles and both suffered heavy losses. We were in a stalemate for a while."

"One day, a group of people in black robes came to Feiyu Town and said they could help us win the war, but the prerequisite was that we cooperated with them. After winning the war, we had to hand over Yinye Town to them and fully cooperate with their subsequent actions."

"I saw that they were hiding their true colors and didn't even dare to show their faces, so I didn't agree. They didn't pester me, but just said 'You will regret it' and then left Feiyu Town."

"I don't know if these people are members of the Shadow Church, but their behavior is consistent with the style of the Shadow Church."

After listening to Williams's story, Ryan touched his chin and said:

"You are right. They are most likely members of the Shadow Church. It seems that after being rejected by you, they approached Baron Soto again."

"Baron Soto probably didn't agree to cooperate either, but he didn't refuse as thoroughly as you did, so the Shadow Church gave him a piece of black crystal, hoping that he would get a taste of the sweetness before trying to win him over."

"They have a good plan. A piece of black crystal can help Soto win a battle, or even a war, but it is not enough for Soto to occupy Feiyu Town."

"When Soto wins with the black crystal, he will definitely want a second one. Then they can easily control Soto."

“Who would have thought that Soto had not used the black crystal? Perhaps he had also realized the identities of these black-robed men and was afraid of being implicated by them.”

"When the Shadow Church saw that Soto had not made any move, they turned around and approached Baron Bach of Ironthorn Town. Baron Bach could not resist the temptation and began to cooperate with them in secret." "These bastards are quite good at selecting their targets. They only look for lords who are caught in war or want to start a war. Who knows, they may also be found in other towns."

After a little thought, Ryan deduced the connection between Soto and the Shadow Church. There might be some deviations in the details, but it would not be wrong in general.

Thinking about it this way, Soto probably didn't have much information about the Shadow Church, which was also within Ryan's expectations.

"Since the Shadow Church always appears in towns where wars break out, I just have to keep fighting and I will eventually run into them."

"Thank you, Baron Williams, your information is very useful." Ryan thanked Williams.

Williams waved his hands repeatedly: "You're welcome, just a few words, and what about this emblem and sword."

"Oh yes, of course you can take it, but didn't you say before the war that you would use Soto's head to commemorate your son? Why did you change it to a coat of arms and a sword?" Ryan asked curiously.

Williams turned his head and glanced at Soto's body, and sighed:
"Soto is a qualified lord. He sent my son's body back intact. Although he intended to undermine our morale, he ultimately preserved the last dignity for my son."

"So I don't want to chop off his head and end the feud with my own death. Let's end the feud between the two families in this generation."

After listening to Williams' explanation, Ryan didn't say much, but just silently gave him a thumbs up.

Williams was sentimental for a while, then bowed and left on the pretext of comforting Eve.

Ryan then called Noz over and explained Soto's situation to him.

After learning that Soto had no connection with the Shadow Church, Noz was a little depressed, but soon cheered up.

"It doesn't matter. Just like you said, we will encounter the Shadow Church in the future. Sooner or later, I will be able to avenge Baron Bach."

At this point, Noz looked at Ryan, his eyes full of gratitude:

"I really want to thank you very much. Not only did you not mind my desire to avenge Baron Bach, but you also entrusted Rose Town to me. I have no way to repay this trust, and I can only repay it with my life!"

Ryan smiled and patted Noz's shoulder: "I said before that the Shadow Church is our common enemy. I'm not doing this all for you. I also want revenge myself."

"So you'd better keep your life. I only want your loyalty."

Upon hearing this, Noz immediately swore: "I swear on the honor of a knight and my family bloodline that I will always be loyal to you and never betray you!"

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you swore allegiance to me a long time ago. There's no need to do it again. Take your men to clean up the battlefield and take the prisoners back to Feiyu Town."

"As ordered!"

Noz leaned forward to accept the order, then left with an excited look on his face.

Ryan looked at Noz's back and felt that Noz's loyalty was about to explode. From now on, he should focus on Sailer and Knight Commander Torre who had just surrendered.

"Xiao Luo, stop taking pictures and quickly go count the trainers' merits. I want to know their rankings before the banquet."

Ryan turned to Xiao Luo and told him that he would announce the players' final rankings at the celebration party.

"No problem Loto!"

Xiao Luo was happily greeting the players and counting their achievements. The two Dragonites were still exchanging battle experiences, and the other Pokémon were also busy with their own things.

For example, the sweet and beautiful queen was secretly comparing her height with her companions. The expression on her face changed. Sometimes the corners of her mouth turned upside down, and sometimes she puffed up her face, which made the blue crow next to her stunned.

Yueyue Bear ran to the Diamond-Horned Rhino and showed off what he had seen since going out to sea. The Diamond-Horned Rhino was not to be outdone and said that he had performed extremely well in yesterday's battle.

As they were talking, the two of them started arguing again. Chongni Wanma wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Scyther. It thought that this was a unique way for the Moon Bear and the Diamond Horned Rhino to communicate their emotions.

Haunter went back into Ryan's shadow, and Gardevoir also returned to Ryan and nodded slightly at Ryan, indicating that Karlov was fine.

Completely relieved, Ryan stretched and casually opened the task panel, ready to see what work the alpaca had assigned him.

"Tsk, Alpaca is really getting stingy. He hasn't given me any new tasks. I thought you were holding back on a big one, but you only gave me three tasks, and the rewards aren't that great."

Ryan clicked his tongue in displeasure as he checked the missions.

[Main Quest: At least 300 players' main Pokémon have reached level 30 (Not Completed)

Rewards: Evolution Item Pack, Lucky Draw Opportunities × 3]

[Side Quest: Town Infrastructure, complete the infrastructure work of all towns in the territory, including Pokémon Center, Pokémon Breeding Farm, Player Residential Area and other facilities and venues (unfinished)

Reward: Lucky draw opportunity × 2]

[Side quest: Occupy Guanhai City (unfinished)
Reward: Lucky draw opportunity × 2]

"No, not only are there fewer chances to win the mission rewards, but the difficulty of the mission has also increased!"

"I won't mention the main quest, it takes time all the time. What are the two side quests like?"

"Originally, planting a field and building a ranch were considered side quests, but now they are all combined together. When will this be completed?"

"Also, can occupying Guanhai City only be considered a side quest? Could it be that Alpaca thinks that I am well prepared and occupying Guanhai City is not difficult, so he classified it as a side quest?"

"But this is all the result of my hard work. I have done so much preparation to take over Guanhai City, and I am almost being scolded to death by readers! You just dismissed me with a side quest?!"

"Hey, why did I mention readers? Never mind, I don't accept it anyway! I request to change the side quest!"

Ryan grumbled a lot, then looked at the panel expectantly.

panel:"."

[Ding~ The side quest Occupy Guanhai City has been changed]

Huh? It really changed?!
Ryan was just complaining as usual, and he never thought that the usually cold panel would respond to him. As a result, the panel actually changed the task.

"Hahahaha, I knew that Lord Arceus would not treat me unfairly. You are worthy of being the God of Creation. This is so fair. I will make everyone in this world believe in you!"

Ryan looked at the latest changes to the task with great delight, and then froze in place.

[Main Mission: Occupy Guanhai City (Unfinished)
Reward: Lucky draw opportunity × 2]

After a while, Ryan shouted with a look of grief and indignation:

"No, what you mean by change is to change the name of the side quest to the main quest?"

"Alpaca. Uh, I dare not scold this one."

"Panel, I'm going to work early!" (End of this chapter)
