my pokemon player.

Looking at the three fingers Ryan extended, Soto and the other two had surprise and despair written all over their faces.

They knew that there was a gap in strength between them and Ryan, who controlled the natural disaster, but no one had thought that the gap would be so big.

After just one encounter, half of the six main monsters were killed instantly!
Although these three monsters were not their strongest fighters, this result was still hard for them to accept.

In the words of the players, their Taoism hearts were about to break.

Ball looked at the unharmed Dragonite, who was still in amazing form, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva:
"How can we fight this? Soto, you better think of a solution. If you can't, I'll surrender!"

"Shut up, it's not time for us to surrender. Ryan's Dragonite may seem powerful, but in fact..."

"In fact, he is even stronger. At this point, Soto, there is no need for you to belittle Ryan. We are not blind and can see the difference in strength between the two sides."

Before Soto could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by Bauer.

"Humph, I'm not so ignorant as to belittle the natural disaster." Soto snorted coldly, and then changed the subject: "But the natural disaster is not invincible."

"The main reason why it acted so aggressively just now was indeed the difference in strength. However, it was not because Dragonite was too strong, but because our Warcraft was too weak."

"The monsters that were just defeated were not our trump cards. In addition, we have no experience in dealing with natural disasters, which led to their easy defeat."

"Compared to them, our remaining three monsters are more powerful and are also the ones we command most often. As long as we cooperate with each other and don't fight alone, we will still be able to fight."

Soto's words were meant to restore Ball's confidence. As for Karloff, it was clear from his fighting expression that he would not back down until the domineering panda fell.

"I know that even if we fight to the end, we will most likely lose this battle and the war, but at least we have fought hard, and other nobles will not laugh at us when they learn of the situation."

"If we surrender now out of fear, we will surely be ridiculed and despised by the nobles and become a laughing stock at their banquets."

"For the rest of your life, as well as your descendants, you will not be able to hold your head up because of this, and will always live under Ryan's shadow!"

"So, shut up and stop talking about surrender. Show your noble pride and courage, and let's fight Ryan to the death together!"

Soto knew that Ball valued his reputation the most, so he said these words deliberately to provoke him.

As expected, Ball was aroused to fight. He did not want to become a shame in the eyes of other nobles like Baron Lancaster.

Seeing Ball regain his confidence, Soto breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was a little tired. He had to face the terrifyingly powerful Dragonite, and motivate his allies who had lost all fighting spirit. He had never fought in such a torturous Warcraft battle.

If it weren't for the inner unwillingness that supported Soto, he would have quit long ago.

After convincing Bauer, Soto turned his attention to Ryan and Dragonite.

He frowned slightly, wondering why Ryan didn't press on and attack them while they were distracted to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Ryan was seen riding calmly on the back of another Dragonite, watching them with interest.

He didn't know if it was Soto's illusion, but he always felt that Ryan's eyes had a deeper meaning, as if... it was as if he was looking at a few Magikarp struggling for water!
Could it be that Ryan was teasing them and wanted to see them struggling to survive?
Thinking of this, Soto's back teeth were almost broken. He had never suffered such humiliation since he was a child.

Soto swore that he must win this battle and make Ryan pay the price for his arrogance!

Soto then turned to the other two barons and whispered:

"Ball, Karlov, you should know that you can't defeat Dragonite alone. Only if we work together can we have a chance of winning."

The two barons nodded, and Karlov said:

"Baron Soto is right. Although three against one is not very decent, if we want to win, we must take advantage of our numbers, otherwise we will be defeated one by one by Ryan."

"I suggest that we elect a commander-in-chief to assign combat missions. Among the three of us, Baron Soto has the most combat experience, so you should be the commander-in-chief."

Looking at Karlov, who had a calm expression and spoke in an orderly manner, Soto couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If it weren't for the fact that Karlov's character was still belligerent, Soto would have suspected that Karlov had been brainwashed by a super-powered monster, or possessed by a ghost-type monster.

No, you have changed too much!

Karlov naturally noticed Soto's eyes, but he didn't care. This was a matter of life and death, and he didn't want to hide himself. He decided to get through Ryan first.

"Baron Soto, what do you think?"

After hearing Karlov's question, Soto finally came to his senses. He first looked at Karlov meaningfully, then nodded and said:

"Okay, then I will be the commander-in-chief."

"Baron Karlov, your Tyrannical Panda has powerful attacks, so you will be the main attacker."

"Baron Ball, your Swampert is strong and can use the move [Guard], making it the perfect defense against Dragonite's attacks."

"As for my Electabuzz, I'm ashamed to say that its strength is not as good as your monsters. It can only play a harassing role."

"I will ask it to lower Dragonite's status as much as possible and try to paralyze it."

After Soto finished explaining their respective responsibilities, he asked Karloff and Bauer:
"Do you have any opinions about your mission?"

"No problem, I'll do as you say." Karlov nodded in agreement first.

Although Ball didn't want to take on the task of defense, thinking that Swampert couldn't withstand Dragonite's attack, he was too proud to admit defeat.

What's more, what Soto said made sense. He couldn't let the weaker Electabuzz replace Swampert.

Therefore, Ball could only reluctantly say that it was okay, and did not forget to ask Soto to help him more and prevent Swampert from being beaten all the time.

"Hey, have you guys finished discussing tactics? I've been waiting until the flowers are about to wither."

Ryan's lazy voice came over, once again arousing the anger of Soto and the other two.

Even the usually slow-witted Ball could hear Ryan's contempt for them.

While they were discussing, they were still observing Dragonite's movements with full vigilance, fearing that Dragonite would attack the remaining monsters.

It turned out that Ryan had no intention of attacking them at all. Instead, he was waiting for them to finish discussing tactics. This was simply the biggest insult to them!

"This damn bastard! He actually relied on Dragonite to insult us wantonly. He has no noble manners or dignity at all. He doesn't deserve to be a noble!"

Bauer cursed viciously, but he seemed afraid that Ryan would hear it, so he lowered his voice very low.

Soto glanced at Bauer helplessly, thinking, what's the point of whispering here, just curse out loud if you have the guts!

There was no other way. This battle couldn't go on without Bauer. Just as Soto was about to say something to comfort Bauer, Karloff spoke first:
"Don't be impulsive. Our strength is not as good as Ryan's. If we are dominated by anger and lose our rationality, we will definitely lose this battle."

"Besides, the strong can humiliate the weak. There is nothing to be angry about. Instead of being so impotent and furious, you should think about how to defeat the other party and return the insult."

Hearing what Karloff said, Soto showed a surprised expression again, and Bauer's eyes widened.

What did he hear that Karlov told him not to be impulsive?

Isn't it a bit unreasonable for a reckless man like you to advise me to calm down? Karlov was too lazy to hide anything at this time and said directly:
"Okay, I'll attack first, Domineering Panda, use Bullet Fist!"

"Roar!"

The domineering panda clenched its bear claws and swung them fiercely at Dragonite.

The punch was so fast that even Dragonite didn't have time to dodge it, but there was no need for it to dodge either.

Dragonite simply crossed his arms over his chest and blocked the attack steadily without even taking a step back.

"Hooo?"

Hanhanlong looked down at his arm which was not seriously injured, moved it a bit, and after confirming that there was no hidden injury, he cast a confused look at the domineering panda.

Buddy, didn't you eat?
"Roar!!"

The domineering panda had never suffered such humiliation before, and he roared and pounced on Dragonite.

The silly dragon swung its tail, which was emitting green light, and blew the domineering panda away.

Then it flapped its wings, flew in front of the domineering panda, raised its dragon claws filled with electricity, and smashed it down heavily.

Karlov's heart tightened when he saw this. Just now, the powerful dragon was knocked down by a punch. If the domineering panda was hit by this punch, even if he did not lose his fighting ability, he would be seriously injured.

So Karlov quickly shouted to the overbearing panda: "Roll over and get out of the way!"

Compared to Bauer's previous instructions to dodge, Karlov's instructions were clearer and more specific.

The domineering panda, who had more combat experience, was not scared by Dragonite. He immediately used the Lazy Donkey Roll and dodged Dragonite's [Thunder Fist] in a panic.

"Oh!"

Looking at the deep pit on the ground created by Dragonite, Karlov wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and then angrily shouted at Bauer:
"What are you thinking about? Why didn't you let Swampert, who is immune to electric-type moves, block Dragonite's attack?"

"I thought this was our turn to attack, so," Ball explained hesitantly.

Karlov waved his hand and interrupted Bauer:
"Heh, you don't think that fighting is a turn-based game where I hit you and you hit me, do you? The enemy may launch a counterattack at any time, so cheer up!"

Listening to Karloff's passionate words, Bauer nodded subconsciously, then reacted.

That's not right. We all have the same status, why would he be taught a lesson by Karlov!
Feeling humiliated, Bauer was about to say something harsh when Karlov once again commanded Pandarunner to attack Dragonite, and Soto also ordered Electabuzz to support him.

Seeing this, Bauer had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and said to the giant swamp monster:
"Swampert, let's go too, use Rock Slide to block Dragonite's attack!"

"Lagu!"

Swampert used its powerful front paws to strike the rock, causing the rock to fly towards Dragonite like sharp arrows.

The silly dragon dodged the rocks, and the domineering panda stretched out its claws and chopped at it.

It had no choice but to use [Super Speed] again to dodge the attack of the domineering panda while charging towards the electric beast. It had long been annoyed with this ugly monster that kept releasing [Electromagnetic Waves].

However, this time, Vortis' attack was blocked by Swampert with [Protect]. Although the white shield condensed by Swampert was on the verge of shattering, it did not cause Swampert and Electabuzz to be harmed.

This also rekindled the confidence of Bauer and Karlov, and they continued to command Warcraft to fight against Dragonite.

Only Soto felt something was wrong. Since he was in charge of the harassment mission, he did not devote himself to the battle like the other two barons, which made him notice something unusual.

For example, Ryan did not command Dragonite to fight, but watched the battle silently, and occasionally shifted his gaze to another battlefield, as if the soldiers' battle attracted him more.

For example, the Dragonite on the field never actively attacked, nor did it use any powerful moves. It just responded to the opponent's moves, as if it was training its reaction ability.

Is it possible?
The more Soto thought about it, the uglier his expression became.

Finally, he couldn't help but question Ryan loudly:
"Baron Ryan, are you letting the water out?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and chuckled, "Oh? Why does Baron Soto say that?"

Soto gritted his teeth and said, "You want to accumulate combat experience for your Dragonite, so you should tell it not to use its full strength in advance."

"Not only that, you also want to take this opportunity to train your beastmaster troops and select good knights from them, so you sent us away and deliberately slowed down the pace of the battle to give them enough time to fight."

"No wonder you were able to rise in such a short time. You are too cruel. In order to select knights, you could watch your own beast masters being slaughtered by the enemy!"

When Karloff and Bauer heard Soto say this, they all stopped directing and looked at Ryan in disbelief.

Ryan did not deny it, but just sneered and said:
"How dare you, a lord who used the war squad to force the militia to join the war, say that I am cruel? At least I didn't force them. They all joined the war voluntarily."

"This is not allowed"

Soto wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of the fanatical performance of the monster masters yesterday, swallowed his words and changed his words:
"I don't want to argue with you about this, I just want you to use all your strength and give us the respect we deserve!"

Ryan looked at the indignant Soto and the other two and said slowly:
"Okay, as you wish."

"Little Dragonite, stop playing. Didn't the old man teach you that it's better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt all ten? You just attack randomly without my command, right?"

"Hooo~"

Hanhanlong scratched his head embarrassedly, knowing that he had performed poorly.

"Get rid of the overbearing panda first, and use high-speed movement to fly behind it!"

"Hooo!"

The silly dragon flapped its wings, and its speed became even faster with the help of [High-speed Movement].

In an instant, it came behind the domineering panda.

"Storm!" Ryan ordered.

Hanhanlong immediately flapped its wings that emitted light blue light, creating a strong storm.

The domineering panda, who was in close contact with Dragonite, had no ability to dodge and was blown away by the raging wind, with his body covered with wounds from the wind blades.

"Oh!"

The overbearing bear hug was like a kite with a broken string, which eventually fell to the ground with a dull thud and raised a large amount of smoke and dust.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a domineering panda with a painful expression and closed eyes appeared in front of everyone.

Obviously, it has lost its ability to fight.

"The fourth one!"

Ryan thrust the finger again, but this time Soto wasn't humiliated.

He was stunned for a while, then his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a dejected look, muttering to himself:
"We lost, completely lost." (End of this chapter)
