Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

Hearing this, the defenders felt as if they had been pardoned and kept thanking him: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, sir, for not killing us!" They were secretly glad that they had made a wise choice and avoided a bloody massacre.

Just like that, in just two days, the long coastline of the Black Tower Kingdom had all fallen into the hands of the Earth Dragon Society!

The once beautiful and peaceful coastal city is now filled with smoke and flames of war, and it has also transformed into an outpost and bridgehead for the Earth Dragon Society to advance into the inland!

When the good news reached Aromatherapy City in the Kalos region and the capital of the Black Tower Kingdom, the reactions of both sides were in sharp contrast - one side was ecstatic, while the other was worried.

At this moment in Aromatherapy City, the following scene is taking place in the chairman's meeting room at the headquarters of the Zygarde Group:

"Report to the leader! This is great news! The elite troops we sent out have successfully captured all the coastal areas of the Black Tower Kingdom in less than two days!" A subordinate reported the battle situation to Wang Chen with joy on his face.

Hearing this, Wang Chen also showed a proud smile on his face, and nodded slightly to express his praise: "Very good! In this way, our army can march straight into the heart of the Black Tower Kingdom without any scruples.

"Pass my order down, and order the Earth Dragon Society's army to rush to the coastal areas of the Black Tower Kingdom and assemble and wait! This time, our army must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, directly attack Huanglong, and break through the Black Tower Kingdom's capital, Black Tower City, in one fell swoop!"

"As you wish, my lord leader! I will go and convey the military order. Within a few days, the entire Black Tower Kingdom will be under your command!" the attendant responded with a flattering look on his face.

Soon, all the soldiers of the Earth Dragon Society quickly assembled, ready to go, and marched towards the coastal area of ​​the Black Tower Kingdom in a mighty force.

Wang Chen knew very well that once his army successfully joined forces, together with the troops stationed along the coast, they would be able to sweep across the entire inland territory of the Black Tower Kingdom like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"It won't be long before the entire Black Tower Kingdom falls into my hands, and I will take back the throne of Queen April!" Wang Chen thought to himself.

……

At the same time, on the other side, in the capital of the Black Tower Kingdom, in the Black Tower City Palace.

"You are all useless! The enemy has conquered the entire coastal area in just two days. Why did I spend so much money to support so many troops of yours?"

At this time, the former regent of the Black Tower Kingdom, the current king of the Black Tower Kingdom, "Kepler", was extremely angry.

After he successfully usurped the throne many years ago, everything has been going smoothly for him.

Over the years, he had encountered almost no setbacks. All the resistance forces in the Black Tower Kingdom were suppressed by him with bloody means, and no one dared to oppose him anymore.

And in Kepler's impression, the royal bloodline of the Black Tower Kingdom was almost killed by him, leaving only two weak princesses to escape.

Over the years, Kepler had thought about sending people to hunt down the two princesses, but after tracking them down to Team Flare, there was no news of the two princesses ever again.

This made Kepler feel that Donna and April must have died. After all, the mortality rate of Team Flare members was very high. He didn't believe that two delicate princesses with no social experience could survive in Team Flare.

Faced with Kepler's extraordinary anger, the people below were all terrified and trembling, not even daring to breathe.

Kepler looked at the useless people in front of him and became more and more angry.

"That's enough!" he shouted angrily, "Isn't there anyone among you who can come up with some useful ideas? Now listen to me, everyone must come up with a suggestion on how to deal with it next!"

Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, someone finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence I just received, the enemy has selected our coastal area as its outpost for attack.

At present, a large number of their follow-up troops are arriving continuously. It can be imagined that their next target will undoubtedly be the Black Tower City.

Taking into account the fact that the enemy is numerous and we are few and their strength is strong, I boldly propose to gather all the remaining forces in Black Tower City for strict defense.

After all, the enemy has come from afar, and as long as we can withstand this round of attacks, they will surely retreat." A minister said in a serious tone.

After listening to what the minister said, Kepler couldn't help but frown, always feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with doing this.

However, at this moment, the other ministers all agreed with the minister's proposal, and persuaded Kepler in unison, unanimously advocating that all troops should be transferred to Black Tower City for defense.

After all, the families and wealth of all the ministers are concentrated in this indestructible Black Tower City. If the Black Tower City unfortunately falls, they will surely face a tragic end.

As for those other distant cities inland, these selfish ministers were too lazy to care about the life and death of the people there! What did the death of others have to do with these powerful people?

As long as they can resist the invasion of the enemy and make the enemy retreat, these dignitaries can still enjoy wealth and glory. Why should they care about how many innocent lives will be lost in the Black Tower Kingdom!

After careful consideration, Kepler made a decisive decision: "In this case, let's immediately issue an order to dispatch all troops that are still capable of fighting to Black Tower City to participate in the defense battle.

We must go all out this time and firmly defend the city, and never let the enemy succeed! In addition, we also need to send an envoy to the Kalos Alliance to request assistance.

After all, as an independent kingdom, we have always been protected and cared for by the Kalos Alliance."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers echoed, expressed their agreement, and took quick action.

Not long after, they dispersed and began to prepare for the deployment of troops and actively contacted the Carlos Alliance for support and assistance.

However, at this moment, the people below once again brought earth-shattering and deafening bad news, like a bolt from the blue that hit Kepler's heart!

"Your Majesty, Duke Ferdinand and Duke Louis were tragically assassinated last night!"

Hiss! Upon hearing this, Kepler couldn't help but gasp, horrified.

You know, Duke Ferdinand is an important official in charge of the financial affairs of the Black Tower Kingdom!

Now that he has died in such an inexplicable and tragic way, the financial situation of the entire kingdom will inevitably fall into chaos, and no one will be able to sort out the complicated accounts.

On the other hand, Duke Louis, as the core figure in control of the military affairs of the Black Tower Kingdom, not only enjoys high prestige in the army, but also possesses extraordinary military command ability.

But now his sudden death will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the Black Tower Kingdom’s army: the army’s morale is broken and low.

Moreover, looking around, it is difficult to find a general in the army who has such strong leadership and strategic wisdom as Duke Louis.
