Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 330: War Mobilization

Looking at the badge handed over by Zheshui, Shota hesitated for a moment before taking it and speaking solemnly:

"Long live the Alliance!"

Listening to Shota's loud shout, Zheshui's eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions, but they were quickly swallowed up by his reason.

The other elders also looked at each other but said nothing, because they knew that the order that Zheshui gave to Shota was very likely to be a life-threatening one.

Shota didn't care about the sad look Tetsuya gave him, but he still smiled back and stepped aside, waiting for the meeting to end.

Time passed quickly and the content of the meeting was quite complicated and tedious. However, although the old guys were very old, they were indeed quite experienced and skilled in handling things. And in Shota's opinion, if the plan agreed upon by these old guys could be implemented, Daigo's revolution would be nothing but a joke.

This is the power that time brings to people, and it is also the reason why Shota gave up using force to gain power in the Hoenn region.

After the meeting, Shota and Tetsuya walked together in the corridor. Although they had several battles before, they looked at each other in silence.

Until they reached the fork in the corridor, the two of them remained silent and walked towards each other's paths.

At the third branch of the Alliance Building's main database, Shota successfully entered the place after showing the red and white ball badge with the number 3 engraved on it to the fully armed guards.

Under the guidance of artificial intelligence, Shota inserted the badge into a groove. As the large screen in front of him lit up, it was divided into three different modules.

In these three different modules, three people's faces appeared. They wore ghost masks similar to those of samurai, making it difficult to analyze their gender from their faces.

Their eyes beneath the masks were fixed on the screen, which was Shota.

After a long silence, the masked man who resembled a bull's head spoke to Shota in a very heroic tone:

"Are you the one who came here to die? You look quite young."

Then the masked man with the horse face spoke again:

"Indeed, he is too young, and I don't know if he has the ability to lead a commander. I don't want to die in this war."

Finally, the man with the snake mask spoke:

"Well, since the Cabinet Elders have chosen this person, it means that he has certain abilities. Let's listen to what he has to say."

Looking at the three masked men staring at him, Shota didn't care about the murderous aura they exuded through the screen. He just said lightly:

"You three should be the weakest, right?"

These words seemed to have touched Horse-Faced's inner defenses, but he still had to maintain due respect for his commander, so he just glared at Shota without saying a word.

Although the other two people didn't say anything, one could tell something from their indignant eyes.

"Okay, I don't want to argue with you. Our mission is to defend the Union's flag - the Union Building. We have three days to do this. During these three days, we will face the rebels' regular forces here. The cabinet will first deal with the inland affairs within three days, and then turn around and come to help us."

"This is our mission. Do you have any objections?"

Listening to Shota's simple description of this mission, the regular army seemed to be playing house to resist Daigo's ambush here. They couldn't help but feel nervous and were full of doubts about Shota.

But they can only make suggestions to the commander-in-chief, but cannot change his will.

Then, Gyuto was the first to stand up and said politely to Shota:

"Commander, I think we should have an offline meeting to discuss this battle plan. After all, we are facing a regular army."

Hearing Ox-Head's suggestion, Horse-Faced Monster and Snake-Faced Monster both nodded.

Of course, Shota was more accepting of this. After all, it might be a good idea to get rid of the three people in front of him as soon as possible.

To be honest, Daigo's conspiracy was really good. He secretly told Zheshui that he wanted to start a continental war, but at the same time he wanted to attack the symbol of the alliance - the Alliance Building, to dampen the morale of the alliance, forcing Zheshui to send out the 3rd force to resist the attack of the regular army sent by Daigo.

But in fact, whether Daigo would send troops, what kind of troops to send, and how many troops to send depended on his personal will. This put the cabinet represented by Zheshui completely in a passive state.

However, although Daigo has a plan, Zheshui may have a way out.

To be on the safe side, the 3rd Unit had to be left behind to maintain legitimacy, but it was estimated that the 3rd Unit was not strong enough, so the very powerful Shota was found to serve as the commander this time.

At the same time, this behavior is also intended to prevent Shota from defecting temporarily.

It can be said that this kills two birds with one stone. Regardless of whether Shota dies in this war or not, the interests of the cabinet represented by Zheshui will not be shaken in the slightest. Moreover, after Shota's death, they may be able to reduce a major threat lurking around them.

After all, in their eyes, Shota is not a member of any family. He does not serve the family but the alliance.

Correspondingly, Daigo is also using Shota, or rather, the hard-working and dedicated Tsurugi Mukin behind Daigo is using Shota.

However, he might have had a longer-term vision and had anticipated that this day would come. Of course, even without Shota as their accomplice, Tetsuo, who was as innocent as a child compared to the old fox, would also be their accomplice.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, it didn't take Shota long to get rid of the naughty little cabbage in his family, so that they had to treat Shota as one of their own.

This is one of the reasons why Daigo gave himself a seat.

Back to the topic, when Shota thought of this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After all, when two tigers fight, one will die and one will be injured. I will comfort the injured one, then pull out his fangs, tear off his tiger skin, and wear it on myself. In this way, the other tigers will have no objection to this.

Seeing the smile on Shota's lips, the three masked men with ghost faces couldn't help but feel strange, but they didn't say much.

Shota seemed to realize that his expression was not controlled properly and immediately retracted his smile.

Then, in order to ease the atmosphere, he said:

"Our offline meeting is scheduled for 8 o'clock tonight, in Room 13 of the Union Building. Remember to be there on time."
