my pokemon player.

In Firefly Town Castle, Freya returned to her room.

She sat in the chair with a complicated expression, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Freya knew that the person coming was Baron Grey, so she signaled to the maid to open the door.

After Gray walked into the room, he first bowed and greeted Freya, then frowned and said:

"Ms. Freya, although we have found the sand in the team, you still can't let your guard down before you clear them out."

"When I walked in just now, you didn't verify my identity, nor did you check if there were any ghost-like monsters following me secretly. This is not in line with your style."

Hearing this, Freya smiled bitterly and said, "I was very cautious before, but to no avail. Viscount Ryan still made me a joke."

Even now, Freya still felt embarrassed and annoyed when she thought that Ryan had been deliberately watching the show these past two days.

"Well, this is an accident. No one expected that Viscount Ryan had the means to bypass the monitoring equipment." Gray said to comfort him.

"And it can be considered a blessing in disguise for us to have the opportunity to discuss cooperation with Viscount Ryan, and the result is quite good."

Freya snorted coldly: "What cooperation? He hasn't proved that he is qualified to cooperate with me."

Gray shook his head: "The reason why Miss Freya said that Viscount Ryan was not qualified to cooperate was because she wanted to take the initiative of cooperation into her own hands."

"In fact, the moment Viscount Ryan said that our Crocodile Family pledged allegiance to you, you had no choice. The so-called test was just an attempt to gain a dominant position in the cooperation."

When Freya heard that Gray had guessed her thoughts, she couldn't help but glare at him:
"You're just smart, right?"

Then she sighed again:
"I really have no choice. Even though I said that Viscount Ryan would not do such a desperate thing, I really don't dare to gamble."

"Your Crocodile Family is not only one of the six iron guards, but also has a special meaning. Once my father and brothers know that you chose me, our lives will not be easy in the future."

"So no matter how strong Viscount Ryan is, we must cooperate with him. However, there are many modes of cooperation. At the beginning, I wanted to lead this cooperation."

"Who would have thought that Viscount Ryan would know our plan, causing us to be at a disadvantage in the negotiations."

"I have no choice but to use my cooperation qualification to suppress Viscount Ryan's momentum and try to regain the initiative."

"The result." Freya showed a surprised expression: "He actually wanted to prove his strength to us by occupying Guanhai City."

"I really don't know whether I should praise him for his courage or say that he is ignorant and fearless. How could he occupy Guanhai City?"

"The key is that this guy is as stubborn as a donkey. No matter how I persuade him, it's useless. In the end, he even invited me to watch the game. This is really..."

Freya couldn't find the words to describe Ryan's arrogance.

Gray said thoughtfully: "I can imagine that you are trying to suppress Viscount Ryan's momentum and seize the initiative of cooperation. Viscount Ryan is so smart that he must have thought of it."

"Perhaps he wants to take a leading position in the cooperation in this way, provided that he can really occupy Guanhai City."

"It seems that Viscount Ryan may really be confident of capturing Guanhai City, otherwise he would not adopt this method, let alone invite you to watch the battle."

Freya nodded with a conflicted look on her face: "Yes, I actually think so in my heart, but I just don't want to admit it."

"But I really can't figure out how he can take down Guanhai City with his current strength."

Gray shrugged. "Who knows? Viscount Ryan has made great achievements in the war. He should have a special method. We will see in two days."

Freya curled her lips when she heard this: "Oh, he has made great achievements in battle. It seems that you have a good impression of him. Did he defeat you?"

Gray nodded and admitted, "I admire Viscount Ryan very much, not only because he is invincible in strength compared to his peers, but also because he possesses outstanding lord abilities and a tolerance as deep as the ocean."

Listening to Gray's undisguised praise of Ryan, Freya said with some jealousy:
"Tsk tsk tsk, you praise me for my strength and my magnanimity. I have never been praised like this before. Are you going to abandon me and pledge allegiance to Viscount Ryan?"

Gray said quickly: "Miss Freya, you are worrying too much. The interests of our Crocodile Family have long been tied to yours. Anyone can betray you, but I will not."

Freya smiled and responded: "It's just a joke, you don't have to be so nervous. According to Viscount Ryan, you have no sense of humor at all."

Gray's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Miss Freya, do you think Viscount Ryan is humorous and interesting?"

"He's okay. Even though his words are a bit irritating, he's still interesting, better than those rubbish. Wait! What do you mean by that?!"

Freya looked at Gray with a bad expression and asked:

"First you kept praising Viscount Ryan in front of me, and then you asked me how I felt about him. What do you want to do?"

Gray did not answer, but asked:
"Miss Freya, do you still remember why the Marquis sent you to inspect the town?"

"Of course, my father asked me to investigate Viscount Ryan's strength, by the way..."

Freya suddenly got stuck in the middle of her speech, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks.

Gray said, "By the way, I'll let you test whether Viscount Ryan has any idea of ​​marriage. If he does, you should show your charm in front of him and try to win him over."

"Shut up! I know what you want to say, but it's impossible!"

Freya gritted her teeth and interrupted Gray angrily.

"I've told you long ago that the fate of the Flame Lion family cannot be entrusted to an outsider!"

"But if you marry Viscount Ryan, he will not be an outsider." Gray argued.

"Viscount Ryan is loyal and righteous. If you can make him truly love you, he will never betray you in the future."

Freya shook her head slightly, and a few strands of her golden hair stood up unwillingly, making her look like a little lion with its fur standing on end.

"I can see that Viscount Ryan has a dream that he must realize, just like me."

"Judging from the way he conquers cities, his dreams and mine are simply incompatible. We are destined to become enemies."

"So don't say these things anymore. There's no way I'm going to marry him."

Gray wanted to persuade her, but when he saw Freya's determined eyes, he could only bow his head and obey:

"Yes, I understand!"

"Okay, don't show that expression. People who don't know you would think you are my dowry servant, feeling disappointed that you can't marry into the Ryan family." Freya deliberately joked.

Gray's mouth twitched slightly: "The way you speak is becoming more and more like Viscount Ryan."

"Really? It seems I should talk to him less, so as not to be led astray by him."

"But there are things we can learn from him." Freya changed the subject: "For example, making use of all available intelligence and resources."

"Don't deal with the sand in the team yet. I still need to pass some messages to my dear brothers through them." Gray understood and said, "Okay, I know what to do."

After that, he asked Freya curiously:

"Besides using our plan to gain a leading position in the cooperation, what else did Viscount Ryan use us for?"

Freya curled her lips and said unhappily:

"What do you say? Don't forget our identity."

"Our identities? We were sent by the Marquis. Hiss~ I get it. No wonder he insisted on attacking Guanhai City."

Gray suddenly realized and once again felt a sense of admiration for Ryan.

This Viscount Ryan really utilized their value to the fullest.
-

"Uncle White, you don't really think that I attacked Guanhai City to prove my strength to the Marquis' daughter, do you?"

Ryan sat in the chair and said calmly.

White asked in confusion: "Then why are you so eager to attack Guanhai City? We just experienced a war not long ago and just took over a new town. Now is not the best time to attack Guanhai City."

Ryan shook his head: "No, on the contrary, now is the best time. If we miss this rare opportunity, it will not be so easy for us to capture Guanhai City in the future."

Looking at White who was still confused, Ryan felt helpless.

After all, White is a knight who is good at fighting but not proficient in strategy.

Although he was forced to take the position of secretary of Firefly Town and handled the town's government affairs in an orderly manner, this was the limit of his ability.

It's normal to think that White can get along well with Ryan's adoptive father, which shows that he and that reckless man have similar personalities and temperaments.

It would be good if White could put down his sword and handle government affairs honestly, but don't expect him to make any plans.

So Ryan could only continue to explain to White:

"According to the information obtained by Mewtwo, Marquis Cross is very afraid of us, so he sent his daughter as an envoy."

"The purpose is nothing more than to find out our strength, and maybe even want to bring me into the Flame Lion Family through marriage."

"But Freya and I have no intention of getting married. When Marquis Cross learns of this, he will definitely try to suppress our development."

"Then those towns in the north of our territory will become the vanguard of the Flame Lion Family and drag us into the quagmire of war."

"And the merchants in Guanhai City will not miss this opportunity. They will most likely intervene and seize the profits of Poké Balls and potions from us."

"If this happens, we will be attacked from all sides. Not only will our development be restricted, but our territory will also be at risk of being destroyed."

"So we must take over Guanhai City before Marquis Cross suppresses us, completely stabilize our rear, and fulfill the agreement with the Dragonite tribe."

White was just not good at strategy, but his brain was not stupid. After hearing this, he understood what Ryan meant.

"You intend to use the reputation of Miss Freya inspecting our town to prevent the northern towns from making any rash moves. This way, you can gather your forces with confidence and capture Guanhai City in one fell swoop."

"That's right. As long as Freya is still in our territory, Marquis Cross will not be able to determine our intentions, and those towns in the north will not dare to harass our territory."

Ryan said confidently: "That's why I invited Freya to watch the battle and let her stay in Firefly Town for a few more days."

"By the time Marquis Cross and his men reacted, we had already taken Guanhai City into our possession."

Upon hearing this, White sincerely praised: "You are worthy of being Master Ryan. Even the Marquis and Miss Freya were kept in the dark by you."

Ryan picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, and then said:
"Marquis Cross has never met me, so he may not be able to guess my intentions, but Freya should be able to see that this daughter of the Marquis is not ordinary smart."

"Then why did she agree to stay?" White asked in surprise.

Ryan grinned: "Because she has no choice. What's more, this matter is also good for her. The stronger I am, the more unlucky her brothers will be."

"The most important thing is that this daughter of the Marquis is very confident in herself. She thinks that even if I occupy Guanhai City, I will not be a match for the Yanshi Family in a short period of time."

Seeing that Ryan had a good impression of Freya, White began to think about urging her to get married.

He said to Ryan with expectation: "Since Miss Freya is so outstanding, why not you?"

"Stop! Uncle White, let's talk business, can you please stop talking about this?"

"This is serious business, and it's a matter of family inheritance! Your family has been a single-line inheritance for three generations, and now Master Nord's life and death are unknown. You are shouldering the responsibility of inheriting the family bloodline!"

When Ryan heard this, he couldn't help but cover his forehead and said helplessly:

"Uncle White, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and he has no intention of me in this regard. You can't let me put my face in front of the cold butt, otherwise I will be a dog to boot!"

White had been in contact with players for such a long time that he could already understand Ryan's strange words:

"How can this be called a dog-licking? Relationships need to be built up slowly."

"Since Uncle White knows so much, why don't you find an aunt for me? Doesn't your family need inheritance?" A teasing smile appeared on Ryan's lips.

"I" White was suddenly speechless and didn't know how to refute.

Ryan waved his hand: "Alright, I'm a picky person, I can only eat Pokémon, I won't eat anything else."

"But." White wanted to persuade him again.

"No buts. Our territory is about to face a life-and-death moment. I don't have the mood to be sentimental." Ryan said seriously.

White was speechless after hearing this and could only bury this idea deep in his heart.

"Let's get back to the point. We must fight Guanhai City, and we must do it quickly. We can't give Marquis Cross time to react."

Ryan sat up and said firmly:

"So I decided to attack Guanhai City in three days!"

White nodded first, then asked Ryan:
"Then what reason do we have to send troops?"

Ryan smiled disdainfully: "Reason? Wars between nobles require reasons. They are just a group of businessmen."

"I beat them just because the strong prey on the weak, I don't need any reason!" (End of this chapter)
