my pokemon player.

Ryan's gaze moved across the map. To the east of Firefly Town was the Firefly Forest, to the west was the Ironstone Mountain, and the situation in Ironthorn Town was just the opposite.

To the north of Tieshi Mountain is Rose Town. There is no complicated terrain in between, so the troops from Firefly Town and Tieji Town can march straight in, or take a shortcut and attack Rose Town from Tieshi Mountain.

It is for this reason that Baron Bach focused all his attention on Firefly Town.

In his eyes, Rose Town was like a piece of fat meat that was delivered to his mouth and he could eat it whenever he wanted.

The reason why the previous lord of Rose Town sought the protection of the Chamber of Commerce was probably because there were no strategic locations to defend the town on both the north and south sides.

Fortunately, there are firefly forests on the east and west sides of Rose Town. Even if there is a Tengluo Town to the west, it will not pose any threat to Rose Town, and it will not become a place of war.

Of course, if Tengluo Town in the west is willing to risk annihilation and cross the Firefly Forest to raid Rose Town, then there is nothing that can be done.

However, this possibility is extremely low. If the lord of Tengluo Town is not a fool, he will not adopt such an extreme offensive strategy.

"Tengluo Town has always been closed. It relies on the advantage of being surrounded by the firefly forest to be self-sufficient. It hardly communicates with the outside world, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by other towns."

Ryan fixed his eyes on Tengluo Town on the map and muttered to himself.

"But the Firefly Forest is both their success and their failure. While protecting them, this forest also becomes an obstacle to their outward expansion."

"Not only that, once the Pokémon in the forest form a beast tide, Tengluo Town will be surrounded by enemies and face the risk of destruction."

"According to the intelligence from the Chamber of Commerce, the last beast tide caused great damage and destruction to Tengluo Town, and it has not recovered until now."

"So should I take advantage of someone's misfortune? No, that's not right either. Should I help the residents of Tengluo Town overcome their difficulties?"

In this narrow area in the southern part of the Southeast Province, only Tengluo Town has not been occupied by him. It looks like a piece is missing. How can Ryan, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, tolerate this?

What? Where did Ryan get his OCD from?

Don’t worry about it. Who can resist putting the puzzle together when seeing a piece is missing?

Moreover, Ryan was afraid that the young masters sent by Lion City knew nothing, so he decided to cross the Firefly Forest and attack his territory from Tengluo Town.

Although this plan is quite risky, it is possible to create a gap in one's own territory and cut it in the middle, with an effect similar to the Incheon Landing in the real world.

Therefore, Ryan had to be on guard. Instead of always being on guard against the surprise attack from Tengluo Town, it would be better to take the initiative and occupy Tengluo Town first.

In this way, not only can the rear of the territory be completely worry-free, but also Tengluo Town can be used as a bridgehead to pass through the Firefly Forest and raid Qingquan Town in the north.

Thinking of this, Ryan made up his mind to occupy Tengluo Town.

As for how to get through the Firefly Forest and deal with the powerful Pokémon in the forest and the air, it is up to the players to figure it out.

Anyway, they have countless opportunities to try and make mistakes, and even if it costs their lives, they can find a suitable attack route.

Ryan's gaze continued to move upward. To the north of Rose Town was Feiyu Town. The two towns faced similar situations, with towns to the north and south and forests to the east.

However, there is no firefly forest to the west of Feiyu Town. There is only flat terrain and sparse bushes. It cannot be said to be flat, but it can be said to be wide open.

In addition, the Silver Leaf Town in the north is still a mortal enemy, and the situation in Feiyu Town is even worse than that in Rose Town.

Fortunately, Feiyu Town is quite powerful and has a large number of flying Pokémon, which firmly holds the air advantage.

Moreover, to the south of Feiyu Town is the weak Rose Town, and to the west is the peaceful Qingquan Town, neither of which poses a substantial threat to it.

"Don't fight with the world?" Ryan touched his chin and muttered in an inexplicable tone.

"Do you have no ambition, or do you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

"Forget it. No matter what the Lord of Qingquan Town thought before, it doesn't matter now. If nothing unexpected happens, he has been completely sidelined by Lion City."

"That is to say, Qingquan Town may launch an attack on Feiyu Town at any time. This is the first attack route of Shiqi City."

After that, Ryan picked up another letter from the table. It was sent by Baron Karlov from Silver Leaf Town. The content was the same as the letter from Feather Town, also reporting on the situation of the Vulture Knight.

Baron Karlov speculated that these Vulture Knights all came from the Windmill Town in the north, and that this town must have become a bridgehead for the Flame Lion Family.

Ryan held the letter in his hand and turned his attention back to the map.

It can be clearly seen from the map that the three towns of Yinye Town, Shitland Town and Wudou Town are distributed in an inverted triangle shape.

Wetland Town is located in the northwest of Yinye Town, and Wudou Town is located in Cuifeng Mountain in the northeast.

The Windmill Town mentioned in the letter is located directly north of Silver Leaf Town. There is no other obstacle between the two towns except a river.

The strength of Windmill Town is not strong, and the lord has no ambition to make progress, so it does not pose much of a threat to Silver Leaf Town.

However, with the arrival of the Flame Lion Family, Windmill Town will most likely provoke Silver Leaf Town, thus triggering a war.

Ryan stretched out his finger, drew a line from Windmill Town to Silver Leaf Town, and said with interest:

"This is the second attack route. The third route should be Red Maple Town west of Wetland Town. After all, Freya has three brothers."

Just as he finished speaking, a Bobo flew to the window with flapping wings and chirped twice at Ryan.

Ryan waved to it, and Bobo flew onto his arms.

He took the letter from Pidgeot's paw and fed Pidgeot a Poké Cube.

Bobo first hummed twice to Ryan to express his gratitude, then picked up the cube and flew out of the window.

After Ryan sent Bobo away, he looked at the letter in his hand and made sure that the ink was not damaged before opening the letter.

Although he had some idea of ​​the content of the letter, he still read it carefully line by line.

Sure enough, this letter was sent by Knight Captain Torre of Wetland Town, and the Vulture Knight was also spotted in Wetland Town.

"Wudou Town is located in the Cuifeng Mountain in the east. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the attack can only be launched from Fengche Town in the north, so it will definitely not be the last attack route."

"The only town left that can be targeted is Wetland Town. Although Wetland Town is also protected by swamps, they have no choice. They can't attack Guanhai City directly from the sea." Ryan smiled disdainfully: "Oh, I thought they would choose one direction to launch a full-scale attack, but I didn't expect them to split into three attack routes."

"A brother of Freya is in charge of a route? That old lion really treats me as a whetstone!"

"Okay, okay, I want to see what your sons are capable of."

He suddenly clenched the letter in his hand and crumpled it into a ball: "Three approaches at once, right? Just the right way to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"I will use their tragic defeat to tell you that a whetstone can also break a blade!"
-
At the same time, a combat meeting was being held in the castle of Qingquan Town.

The bronze candlesticks cast dancing shadows on the walls of the meeting room, and the eyes of several armored knights were all focused on the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.

The candlelight cast a layer of molten gold on his red hair, which looked like a blazing fire. The knotted muscles under his bronze skin rose and fell with his breathing.

He was wearing a gorgeous golden armor with the emblem of the Flame Lion family on his chest. His amber eyes were bright and his voice was like anvils colliding.

"According to the intelligence gathered by Knight Commander Solar, the air force of Feiyu Town is not very strong. We only need two teams of Vulture Knights to completely defeat them!"

"So I decided to dispatch another team of vulture knights to defeat the proud air force of Feiyu Town head-on, so as to destroy their fighting spirit. What do you think?"

The knights looked at each other, and then looked at Knight Commander Solar who was sitting at the first seat on the left.

Although his title was only that of a knight, as a member of the top three Iron Guard families - the Vulture Family, no one dared to underestimate him.

Not to mention that he also controls a team of Vulture Knights. Whether in terms of family background or power, he is unmatched by other nobles.

Even Baron Oss of the Buffalo Family had to be respectful to him, since the Buffalo Family was one of the next three Iron Guard families.

However, no matter how high Knight Commander Solar's status is, it is not higher than Viscount Albert who sits in the main seat.

Albert is the eldest son of Marquis Cross and was once the most promising candidate to inherit the Flame Lion Family and the throne of the Lion King.

He was a man of great stature, forthright character, and keen on fighting, and the Marquis de Clos often took him with him when he went out to fight.

And his performance did not bring discredit to the Flame Lion Family. He always rushed to the front in every battle and made great achievements.

Logically speaking, since Albert was the eldest son and was quite capable, Marquis Clos should have made him his heir long ago.

However, Marquis de Clos never showed this intention. Instead, he trained his other two sons to compete with Albert.

This practice undoubtedly left many people puzzled, but some smart people guessed the reason.

On the one hand, it is because the Flame Lion family encourages competition, believing that only the strongest lion can lead the family forward.

Albert has good abilities, but compared to the young Marquis Cross, he still seems a little mediocre.

Albert is not without flaws. He has a generous personality, but his brain is not very smart, even to the point of being reckless.

It is not difficult to see from the fact that he always rushes to the front in every battle that he is a battle maniac and has no concept of territory development in his mind at all.

If the territory was handed over to Albert, the Flame Lion family would either be starting a war or looking for a reason to start a war.

In the heyday of the Flame Lion Family, Albert's bellicosity was harmless and could instead promote the Flame Lion Family's reputation.

But the current situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, with the entire Arad Kingdom in chaos. Blind fighting will only gradually drag down the Flame Lion Family and will also provoke joint attacks from other nobles.

Simply put, Albert is more suitable to be a general than the lord of Lion City.

After all, a lion king not only needs sharp fangs and claws, but also wisdom, otherwise how can he command a group of lions to hunt.

That's why Marquis Clos was not in a hurry to make Albert his heir. He wanted to see the qualities of his other two sons.

The other reason is a bit bloody. Marquis Clos's current wife is not Albert's biological mother.

That’s right, Marquis de Clos had two wives. His first wife died of illness after giving birth to Albert and his eldest daughter.

Although Marquis Cross loved his wife very much, he was not determined to remain single for the rest of his life. He soon married another wife and had two sons and Freya.

Therefore, Cross's current wife is Albert's stepmother, so the relationship is naturally not that deep, and she does not have the support of her maternal family.

You have to know that Albert's stepmother is from the top three Qilin families. Although the top three families do not participate in the competition for heirs on the surface, there is no mother who would not help her children.

Besides, the Qilin family is not stupid. They definitely hope that the next Lion King will have the blood of the Qilin family.

Therefore, Albert's two younger brothers would more or less receive secret support from the Qilin family, and Marquis Cross had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Perhaps he wanted to train Albert in this way, but unfortunately, the opposite happened. Albert was schemed against by his two younger brothers. First, he withdrew from the Order of the Flame Lion, lost his power in the army, and his reputation also declined.

Later, he was drugged at a banquet and had sex with a lowly maid, which damaged the reputation of the Flame Lion family and made Marquis Cross furious.

The key point is that Albert is a man of loyalty and righteousness, to put it nicely, but stubborn to put it bluntly. He actually pleaded for the maid and almost pissed off Cross to death.

After this happened, the big families were unwilling to marry Albert in order to protect their own reputation, so he could only choose some minor nobles.

In this way, Albert, who originally had an absolute advantage in the competition for heir, was slowly overtaken by his two younger brothers.

If the Buffalo family had not been equally stubborn and determined to follow Albert to the death, he would probably have been kicked out of the competition by his two younger brothers long ago.

Therefore, this war was Albert's only remaining chance, and he had to achieve a glorious victory and defeat his two younger brothers.

This is not only for himself, but also for his deceased mother and the Buffalo family that follows him.

Albert's eyes gradually became firm, and he was full of confidence in this war.

He doesn't understand conspiracies or intrigues, but he knows how to fight a war!
There won't be all those calculations and bullshit on the battlefield, right?
Moreover, his father may have felt that he owed him something over the years, so he deliberately chose the easiest attack route for him. He only needed to attack Feiyu Town to the east without considering other factors.

This attack route was perfect for his fighting style, so he decided to fight quickly, first occupy Feiyu Town, then use the absolute air superiority to attack Ryan's hinterland, and finally occupy Guanhai City.

Didn't his father always talk about how outstanding Viscount Ryan was? Then he wanted Ryan to kneel in front of him to prove that Albert was no less capable than others! (End of this chapter)
