Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 348 The Beginning of a Tug of War

"Führer!"

Looking at Bannay performing the ritual of offering his heart, Shota nodded in approval and then said:

"What's the message this time?"

"Reporting to the Headmaster, according to the information sent by the cadres of the Fire Village, the commander of Daigo's Second Army has been replaced. It is not Tsukinoki Fujiki, but his adjutant Tsukinoki Yoshito. Here is his information. Please review it, Headmaster."

After taking the information from Bannerey, Shota read it carefully.

As for the enemy, we should despise him strategically and take him seriously tactically.

Dozens of minutes later, Shota finished reading the entire article about this personal information. To be honest, it was quite surprising. Not only the military school he attended, but also the dense introduction of honors told Shota that this person was not simple.

But what does that matter?

Shota himself was not afraid of failure. After all, this was not his army, so he would not feel bad about fighting. His original purpose was to consume the troops of both sides so that he could gain the advantage in the end.

As for why it has come to this, it’s just a matter of going with the flow.

What's more, he has an insider in Himura in Daigo's Second Legion.

Just as Shota was thinking this, Bannai's words brought him back to square one:

“Prime Minister, in addition to this bad news, there is another bad news.

That is, Lord Himura and another unlucky officer were dismissed by a man named Zifuki Shanren on the grounds of insulting and instigating the commander.

Moreover, from now on I can no longer serve as an intermediate hub to transmit information, because the kind man Zifuqi has sent people to monitor the cadres of Huo Village, and the person in charge of the monitoring has been killed by me.

Now Ditto's face is transformed into the previous monitor. I don't know if it's because he is too suspicious or for some other reason, but Mr. Zifuki informed me that he is going to change the monitor.

Of course, if there is any important information that needs to be conveyed, I think the Huo Village cadres and I are ready to sacrifice for the organization at any time."

Listening to what Bannerey said and looking at the strange face transformed by Ditto, Shota had already sensed through his supernatural powers when Bannerey came here, otherwise he would not have contacted him.

He was also very satisfied with Bannai's words of loyalty. As the saying goes, no one dislikes a loyal believer, and no one dislikes a tool.

However, Shota felt a little bit regretful that there was no source of information afterwards.

But on second thought, it seems that it would be really fun to do it in practice.

Thinking of this, he felt a little calmer.

After sending Bannai away and asking him to be careful and not to reveal his identity for the sake of information, Shota once again looked through the information of the man named Zifuchi Zento.

At the same time, in the rebel camp, a guy wearing glasses pushed the rims of his glasses and looked carefully at the thick stack of information in his hand.

Compared to the thin stack of information in Shota's hand, the information in Zfuki Zento's hand can be said to be quite complete, containing all the superficial information from Shota's birth to the present.

Basically, when Mr. Zifuchi had read half of the thick stack of information, he became a little impatient.

Because when he had watched half of it, he basically didn't find out what was special about this man named Shota, or what he had done that was special.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zifuqi was reminded of the last war.

He really didn't understand. It was such a simple game, and he had specifically warned people not to act blindly and impulsively, but that hot-tempered guy didn't listen to a word he said. He just rushed forward without thinking when he was instigated, and even took part in the game himself.

I'm not afraid of having god-like opponents, I'm afraid of having teammates who are like pigs.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zifuchi thought of the fat man who had been separated from his job by him.

As he thought about this, the fat man's smiling face appeared in his mind. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After all, the Lightning has been working with them in a forward-moving manner and has gained a lot of benefits from them and the league.

If they turned against the Alliance now, not to mention whether the Alliance would take revenge on them later, the mere fact of turning against them would be a loss. After all, as long as they could conquer the Alliance, the benefits they could gain would be unlimited.

If you turn against them now, you won't get any benefit at all, and you may even end up losing money.

However, the last war happened so strangely that it had to arouse his suspicion.

So he sent people to monitor the Lightning Team cadre named Huomura, but the result disappointed him. After being removed from his post, this guy did nothing but sleep and eat, sleeping like a dead pig, and doing nothing all day long.

"Alas~ What's the point of thinking about these things? Let's study this person named Shouta."

Thinking of this, Zifuki Zento forced himself to calm down and began to look through information about Shota.

After a night passed, the two sides welcomed the dawn of a new day.

However, the mental outlook of each army was very different.

On the Union side, the soldiers and officers enjoyed their first real dinner since the war began last night. They were so sleepy that they even wondered if they had dreamed last night as they could actually see meat.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Today is another sunny day. They can still follow the orders of their superiors and not go to war. However, they are still very busy. Some are repairing machines, some are treating Pokémon, and some are conducting military training. Anyway, they are all very busy.

Because the monkeys had been notified by officers at all levels, they knew that everything they were doing now was not just for fun or to satisfy their own pleasure, but for the future war, so they all seemed very serious.

On the other hand, most of the rebels had dark circles under their eyes. After all, they received news last night that the Alliance Army would take advantage of the advantage they had last time to launch a counterattack against them.

But at night they looked forward to the stars and the moon, and until the sun was directly overhead, they had not seen a single person.

This made them doubt the orders from their superiors, and they also felt angry about being deceived.

"This is so infuriating, damn, last time they said there were enemies coming to attack, but they didn't come, and it's the same this time."

"That's right, these officers are just here to eat and work. Their lives are lives, but our lives are not lives, right?"

"Shh—keep your voice down, the commander is coming."
