Pokémon: The Sims

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the darkness ahead.

"stop!"

The person, accompanied by their Pokémon, quickly headed this way.

Run to the vicinity.

By the light of the tourmaline, they both saw each other's appearance.

Opposite him was a human Wu Ge didn't recognize, accompanied by a mantle rock, which had obviously been captured inside this cave.

The other party recognized Wu Ge at a glance.

"The Imperial Advisor?!"

The man was startled and immediately bowed down in worship.

"."

Wu Ge frowned.

He had no recollection of the Kingdom of Earth having a custom of kneeling and bowing.

Dresa disliked these practices; he felt that kneeling down would hinder his ability to issue commands. Therefore, in the Kingdom of Earth, ordinary people and subjects did not need to kneel before the king.

"My subordinate is named Lianjie, a subject of the Southern Dynasty of the Great Kingdom, and is under the command of the Destroyer King to supervise the work of the slaves."

The soldier named Lianjie knew that the Grand Preceptor did not recognize him, so he quickly introduced himself.

"Kazan? The slave is from the Kingdom of Blessed Light? He still has the time to attack people from the Kingdom of Blessed Light?"

Wu Ge frowned when he heard Lian Jie's words.

"This"

When Lian Jie heard Wu Ge's question, he paused for a moment, his eyes darting around as he dared not answer.

"Get out of the way."

"..yes."

Even the streets dared not be negligent in the slightest.

The Ruined King once said that the Grand Tutor was still the Grand Tutor of their Earth Kingdom.

Whether it was the New Earth Kingdom or the Old Earth Kingdom, he was the Grand Preceptor, and no one was allowed to disrespect him; everyone had to kneel before him.

Disrespecting the imperial advisor is disrespecting the royal family.

Disrespect for royalty is punishable by death.

Wu Ge led the red-faced dragon deeper and deeper, eventually arriving at the end of the tunnel.

A group of gaunt-faced men, shirtless and wearing only shorts, were relentlessly hammering tourmaline stones in front of them with pickaxes.

They also had all sorts of injuries on their bodies, mostly from being whipped or hit by certain techniques.

Wu Ge frowned as he looked at these people.

In his perception, the life force of these people was weaker and weaker than the last, like candles flickering in the wind, ready to wither away at any moment.

"Grand Preceptor!!"

One of the slaves heard the commotion and peeked out.

Upon turning around and seeing Wu Ge, she immediately knelt down in front of him.

The others turned to look when they heard the sound.

Wu Ge felt wronged and couldn't help but shut down his wave perception ability.

"you."

Wu Ge glanced around at the group of people with a blank expression.

Looking at a few of the slightly familiar faces.

He realized he was wrong.

These people are not from the Kingdom of Blessed Light, but are citizens of the Kingdom of Earth.

"Please, please save us! Otherwise, please kill us!!"

A person knelt down in front of Wu Ge, weeping bitterly.

He grabbed Wu Ge's ankles with both hands, as if he had grasped a lifeline.

Chapter 381 Courage is not fearlessness

Wu Ge looked up at the others.

Pain and despair filled everyone's eyes. If it weren't for Wu Ge's appearance, they might still be trapped in numbness. But his appearance brought them back to their senses.

'Kazan, what have you done to turn the people of the Earth Kingdom into this state?'

Wu Ge lowered his head.

His face was ashen and gloomy.

He realized that his past ideas seemed to be wrong.

Theresa is the one who is right.

Ultimately, this teacher couldn't understand his two children as well as the father in Theresa did.

have to say.

Wu Ge underestimated Kazan's brutality.

Also a possibility.

Kazan has become like this in just a few short months.

There could be many reasons.

Dresa did not choose him, but instead chose his brother, who was weaker in his eyes.

Or maybe.

After establishing himself as king and experiencing the thrill of power and status, his ambition grew wildly.

There's still a possibility.

This is Kazan's true nature, but he was always suppressed by Wu Ge and Dressar. Now that Wu Ge is not by his side and Dressar has returned to his homeland, no one can control him, so his true nature has naturally been unleashed.

No matter what.

Dresa was right not to choose Kazan as King of the Earth.

otherwise.

The entire land of Unova will likely become a playground for Kazan's tyranny.

Tell me about the current situation of the Kingdom of Earth.

"..yes."

The people of this land were overjoyed, knowing that the Grand Preceptor intended to intervene in the war.

So they all told Wu Ge what they knew.

The current tourmaline caves are occupied by the North, that is, by the Rami side.

The reason why people from the Southern Dynasty were mining tourmaline at the deepest part of this cave is because Kazan had already dug an underground tunnel long before.

It allows the bottom of the tourmaline cave to connect directly to a border town in the Southern Dynasties.

As for the people in front of me right now.

They are all citizens of the Kingdom of Earth.

Some of them were originally residents of a small town in the Southern Dynasties, but were demoted to slaves because they accidentally damaged public property in the town while drunk.

Some were warriors from the Northern Dynasties who were defeated and captured on the battlefield, and their Pokémon partners were killed.

It might be because they come from different places and different fields.

So, with everyone chiming in, Wu Ge finally understood most of the current situation.

The civil war in the Kingdom of the Earth has lasted for six months.

Pokémon capable of digging were intended for use in creating underground war tunnels, so Kazan delegated the mining to the weaker humans, entrusting it to 'slaves'.

That's not all.

The Southern Dynasties continued to conscript men and Pokémon into the army, and forcibly requisitioned resources for war materials.

In short.

Relying on his overwhelming military power and status, Kazan's tyranny brought untold suffering to the people of the entire western continent.

Everyone secretly hoped that Rami would win this war.

But Rami was no match for Kazan.

Kazan never really went all out against Rami; he always stopped short of causing serious harm in each battle.

in the end.

After a war, it's impossible to say who won or lost; a great deal of resources and lives were sacrificed in vain.

Nobody knows what Kazan is really up to.

He clearly had the ability to advance Eindooc in one fell swoop, but he didn't do so and just kept stalling.

but.

Wu Ge might be able to guess.

Kazan did this for two reasons.

Firstly, his strong sense of self-esteem made him unwilling to accept the commoner's title of 'traitor to the king'.

If he really led the Southern Dynasty to conquer the Northern Dynasty and killed Rami, the rightful King of the Land and his brother.

The title of "traitorous king" can never be erased.

Another one is to kill him out of his spirit, which can also be seen as a way to force Rami to step down.

Kazan certainly knew his brother's personality.

and so.

He deliberately created carnage on the battlefield, wanting to plunge Rami into endless torment and pain.

He wanted to make Rami admit that he was not as good as him.

Make Rami understand that he was able to ascend the throne not because he defeated him, but simply because of his father's favoritism.

This caused Rami to have a mental breakdown and even beg him to become the sole King of the Earth.

Once Rami gives in.

By the time.

Kazan is now the rightful heir to the throne of the land, no longer the rebel against the land.

Because he didn't seize the throne.

It was the contemporary king of the land who abdicated and ceded the throne to him.

"Your Excellency, what are your plans? I know you may be reluctant to get involved in the conflict between the two students, but..."

An elderly man mustered his courage and stepped forward. He knelt tremblingly before Wu Ge, hesitated for a moment, and then continued,

"Forgive my impertinence, but His Highness the First Prince is lacking in ability, and His Highness the Second Prince is morally flawed, the latter having already fallen into demonic possession. However, with your assistance, the First Prince can still achieve something. I beg you, I implore you, to help His Highness the First Prince defeat the Second Prince and restore light to this land."

Wu Ge glanced at him.

He was deeply impressed by this man, who was one of the leading civil officials when Dreza was still in power, and was over sixty years old.

I never imagined that Kazan would capture me and make me a slave.

I don't know if it's because he made a mistake.

It was also because Kazan was dissatisfied with the choices made by Dreza.
