Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 98 The Dragon Protecting the Nation
One morning.

Liz, who was in her study, suddenly received an urgent intelligence report from the front lines.

The intelligence was delivered by a Skarmory, which was the Pokémon of Liz's cousin and one of the battlefield generals, Mirage.

Without saying a word, Liz picked up the intelligence delivered by the armored bird and began to examine it. Wu Ge, who was standing to the side, waited quietly for Liz to finish reading and tell him.

"The Earth Kingdom has mobilized its forces?!"

Liz frowned when she saw the contents of the letter.

She then put the letter down and immediately called Hestia and the other maids to help her put on her armor.

Liz is definitely capable of fighting.

Don't let her current appearance, sitting in her study all day like a delicate, wifely woman fool you.

But for the first eighteen years of her life, Liz lived in a tribe where everyone, including women, had to learn hunting and fighting.

As the former princess of the Dragon Taming tribe and the chief's youngest legitimate daughter, Liz naturally began practicing martial arts from a young age.

Wu Ge noticed something was wrong back when he was still Beedrill.

Liz, an ordinary eight-year-old girl, was exceptionally strong. She followed him through the forest, enduring wind and sun and eating wild fruits for days and nights, and at most, she only developed a slight cough.

And later.

After Wu Ge, who was known as 'Ah Huang', died, Liz embarked on her own path to becoming a queen.

Leading his Beedrill clan, he embarked on the battlefield at a young age, conquering one tribe after another.

A whole decade.

Liz took over the position of clan chief from her father when she was eighteen years old and established the Dragon Kingdom, becoming its queen.

However, the land of the capital was not completely subdued at that time, and many remote tribes still united to fight against the dragon.

He then personally led troops in battle for two or three years before finally achieving unification.

Now, another ten years have passed, and Liz's physical condition and martial arts skills have naturally declined significantly.

But ever since Sakaki Shiro showed his ambition for the Johto region in the first two years, Liz has started to regularly take time to exercise and try to recapture the feeling of the past.

Even though Liz, now thirty, is no longer as dashing as she was at eighteen.

However, it is still not a problem for him to personally go to the battlefield to command while wearing armor.

For Wu Ge, it was a strange thing for the ruler of a country to personally go to the battlefield.

But this was not surprising to Liz and even the entire Dragon Kingdom. What tribal chief doesn't personally lead his troops into battle?
Whether it's strong or not is one thing.

Whether or not they dare to go on is another matter.

The warriors in the tribe wouldn't listen to a coward.

Although the Dragon Kingdom is now called a 'Kingdom', as the first kingdom in the history of the capital, a kingdom that has been established for less than ten years, many aspects of it have not changed much compared to the past tribal period.

Including the maids who are currently putting armor on Liz.

These maids looked to be in their twenties or thirties, and must have received some training in the past.

Despite his slender arms and legs, he could easily lift a heavy suit of armor weighing over ten kilograms, as if it were a vegetable.

"what happened?"

“A cavalry force of three to five thousand suddenly emerged from the forest on the other side of the Silver Mountain Road and has already started fighting with our soldiers stationed on the Silver Mountain Road. No matter what, I must go there immediately to check it out.”

As Liz spoke, she had already put on her armor.

It was a light, silver-white armor, covered in marks and scars, clearly having seen many battles.

Liz stretched her arms and legs, then walked to the side and took off the cloak made from the skin that Wu Ge had shed.

"I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ge immediately pulled Liz into his arms and then flew out of the window.

"Ah Lan, I haven't taken my spear yet."

"I am your spear."

The distance from the capital to Baiyin Mountain is not much farther than the distance to Baiyin Mountain itself.

Even with Liz, who weighs over 100 pounds, in his arms, Wu Ge reached the sky above Baiyin Mountain in just ten minutes using his divine speed.

As for Liz, she had already curled up into a ball in Wu Ge's arms.

As Liz was leaving, she was still wondering why Alan wouldn't let her ride on his back.

Now I understand.

At that speed, she couldn't hold onto Ah Lan at all and would be thrown off in a heartbeat.

"Ah Lan~ You're so fast~ I didn't even know you were this fast~"

Liz noticed that Wu Ge had stopped, so she looked up and shouted.

It's probably because the strong wind is making Liz's ears ring, so she's speaking very loudly now. Perhaps in her own ears, her voice sounds very soft.

"Don't talk nonsense, look down there, they've already started fighting."

Wu Ge reached out and patted Liz's bottom, gesturing for her to look down at the Silver Mountain Path.

This scene is very strange.

"Um?!"

Liz looked down and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

The battlefield below is clearly a one-sided crushing defeat.

Led by Yulongfeng himself, a light cavalry force of over ten thousand humans and Pokémon is pursuing a group of Earth light cavalry fleeing eastward into the forest.

The Earth Kingdom's light cavalry force numbers no more than two thousand.

Moreover, although it was said that a battle had broken out, the Earth Army was actually mainly fleeing, only occasionally turning around and firing a couple of arrows as a show during the escape.

"Are they trying to lure our troops into the forest?"

Liz glanced at it and guessed.

"The Earth Kingdom is far too familiar with Viridian Forest. There are probably all sorts of traps inside, and they could easily lure our people into the territories and dens of other Pokémon. Out of more than 10,000 people, probably only 5,000 will come out. We can't chase them; we have to intercept them."

Wu Ge immediately knew what he had to do.

The Dragon Army must never fight the Earth Army in Viridian Forest.

This is one of the reasons why naval forces were arranged to detour from the side, mainly to block the road.

The purpose was to prevent the Imperial Dragon Army from chasing the Earth Army on the battlefield, so that they would all hide in the forest.

The Silver Mountain Road is flat and easy to navigate, with few traps. Most of the dangers are visible to the naked eye, but once you get into the forest, you might be ambushed and killed.

With that thought in mind, Wu Ge no longer hesitated. He didn't even have time to put Liz on the ground first; he opened his mouth and breathed out rings of flames.

A vortex of flames.

Clusters of flames fell to the ground, landing on the wild grass along the Silver Mountain Road and instantly forming a natural wall of fire.

The horses of the Earth Army were startled and stopped in their tracks. Some of the soldiers at the rear were even thrown to the ground because their horses moved so suddenly and violently.

"what happened?!"

"There's a monster!"

"Up in the sky! The Dragon Queen and her milk-loving dragon!"

The Earth Army was startled by the sudden attack and began to lose its composure.

"Damn it! Charge!"

The commander of this unit looked at the Imperial Dragon Army attacking from behind and thought that if he tried to force his way through the wall of fire, he would at most lose a few hairs if he got burned.

But the horses didn't understand this; they stood still and refused to move forward.

In the sky.

“Ah Lan”.

Liz's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good opportunity, but she didn't know what to ask Wu Ge to do next.

"give it to me."

Liz didn't know, but Wu Ge knew very well.

He glanced at the earth army and immediately noticed that there wasn't a single magical beast among them; otherwise, they would have already started putting out the fire.

'Looks like they never intended to fight us in the first place. Whatever their purpose, once they're here, they're not leaving.'

Wu Ge, carrying Liz, swooped down and quickly landed on the ground on the other side of the wall of fire.

If there were Pokémon in this earth army, he wouldn't dare to land on the ground so casually.

In the world of Pokémon, you will face other Pokémon.

Unless it's an incredibly powerful champion-level Pokémon or a legendary Pokémon, it's simply a pipe dream to expect one person to form an army.

With Wu Ge's level of 55, he is invincible in one-on-one combat within the army.

However, on the battlefield, ten level 40 Pokémon could hold him off for quite a while.

One hundred level 40 Pokémon would be enough to easily defeat him.

But right now, there are no Pokémon in the Earth Army, so Wu Ge has nothing to fear.

He first quickly placed Liz ten meters behind him, then looked at the Earth Army still standing in place ahead.

storm!

Wu Ge waved his hands and wings, and a strong wind immediately arose.

A fierce wind swept sparks toward the army on the ground, and the sharp wind blades in the air and the ever-spreading flames underfoot were like deadly scythes.

The horses of the Earth Army instantly lost their minds and went berserk, with countless Earth Soldiers thrown off their horses and even trampled to death by their own horses.

Even if some of the horses were brave enough not to go mad, the riders on their backs were still blown off their horses by the strong wind and onto the ground.

"It's Lord Aran!"

"So strong!"

"Speed ​​up, seize the opportunity, and take them down!"

The Imperial Dragon Army, which was further back, also noticed the commotion ahead. Looking up, they saw Wu Ge holding off two thousand men single-handedly, and their morale soared. They launched a desperate charge.

"hateful!"

The soldiers of the Earth Army rose from the ground, gripped their spears, and charged towards Wu Ge through the flames.

With the forest so close, how could they willingly fall here?

Moreover, the Dragon Queen is right ahead. If I have to die, then taking the Dragon Queen with me will make me famous for all time and go down in history!

Thinking of this, many of the Earth Warriors' eyes turned red.

"Humph."

Wu Ge looked at the group of scoundrels rushing towards him and curled his lips in disdain.

He has no shortage of large-scale area-of-effect attack skills.

surf!

Wu Ge stomped his foot, and a giant wave more than ten meters high rose up from the ground and crushed towards the soldiers at the front.

This is not over yet.

The combination of pouring cold water and freezing winds managed to freeze the earth soldiers rushing up from behind into ice sculptures.

Occasionally, one or two lucky individuals would rush up to Wu Ge, only to be easily killed by his Flame Fist and Lightning Fist.

"This monster is a monster!"

"Run! Get away from him, run to the side!"

"Run as far as you can!"

Seeing that their commander had been killed by a single wave, the remaining earth soldiers lost all will to fight and tried to escape from Wu Ge from both sides.

But by then, the Imperial Dragon Army had already caught up.

The outcome of cavalry pursuing infantry is self-evident: the entire army was almost wiped out.

"Ah Lan! That's amazing!"

After the battle, Liz, who had been playing a minor role, rushed up and gave Wu Ge a big hug, kissing his stomach several times and leaving several rouge marks.

The surrounding dragon warriors also gathered around and showered him with praise, and even the warriors' Pokémon looked at him with admiration.

"Hmph, that's it."

Wu Ge crossed his arms, raised his head, and wagged his tail, feeling incredibly smug.

This attack seemed to be just the beginning, as the Kingdom of Earth sent several more armies to 'raid' the following days.

But they basically just stand outside the forest, peeking out to shout and provoke.

Whenever Wu Ge showed himself, the Earth Army would immediately retreat, leaving him disappointed each time.

Over the course of a few days, Wu Ge's fame soared, and he was affectionately known as... by the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
The Dragon that Protects the Nation.
