Chapter 157 - 37 : Alex speech

Alex pressure and speech was enough to erect a strong image in the heart of the troops and they are confident about his abilities.

Alex pressure was fully experienced by the warrant officers and sergeants and they would be the only who would mostly lead the men at grassroot level.

They didn't know just how powerful trainer Alex really was but they felt Alex was much stronger than their immediate leaders.

Alex had already decided to show some of his powers, enough to let the troops follow him effectively. Alex knew that he needed a fully functional and cooperative army for his plans.

But their ridicule and his outburst of emotions and anger wasn't part of his plan so he changed it slightly on his own to impliment his preordained plan.

" I ask you again are you traitors? Are you all willing to be labelled as traitors?" He looked down and asked all of them.

Alex mentioning of what they all guarded behind the town walls was enough to revitalize their spirits and the mention of traitor burned their wills ablaze.

They want to use their glory of victory to wash the stain of traitor Alex has almost plastered on them.

So almost all of them shouted loudly and even angrily," No"

Alex nodded to himself as he has almost complete attention of the troops and he could mention some plans to let them know they won't make a mistake in following his plan.

" So are you going to leave your post and let the citizens defenseless?" His voice not submerged in the waves of no.

" No" was the word that rocketed back at Alex.

" So are you all ready to face the Pokemon raid and let yourselves be a glorified warrior and protector of the citizens of Kanto?" He said

For warriors, glory was more precious than anything and most of people in army follow glory and want to acc_u_mulate enough of it, so their name could be resounded throughout the world.

This glory also help improve the social stature of most of the people. That's why most people are attracted towards the profession of trainer and armed forces.

Through these occupation, they can gain money, power and glory easily as compared to other professions like professor, scientist, businessman or anything else.

So glory was so etching like a magnet for common people attracting many people towards them.

" Yes"

" Let's fight for glory."

No one was completely selfless except for some very rare cases. He has managed to use their inherent greed for glory and d_e_s_i_r_e for worldly goods and prestige to let them follow him instead of completely using his pressure.

" For glory"

" For glory"

" For glory"

" For glory"

" For glory"

" For glory"

This voice rang throughout the ground and now everyone looked at Alex attentively so as not to miss even a single word he said.

" Goo since you all are ready to follow me then there is no harm in telling you some of the details and what countermeasures we have decided to take for the raid.

Firstly, the most abundant Pokemon type in the herd would be the Normal type. So the most effective way to deal with them one on one is using a fighting type.

But in this Pokemon tide we won't have time to face pokemons one on one so we will be utilising strategies as well as weaknesses of Pokemon to take them down easily."

One of the warrant officer nearby raised his hands, probably to ask something.

" Sir there are too many Normal type pokemons. There isn't enough time to learn about all the pokemons and their weaknesses and we even have to face other pokemons too so how is it possible?"

This put many into thoughts on how he would combat them and get himself more merits so he could get precious things and even promotion in ranks through the merit exchange.

" Indeed this is a problem. To remember all the normal pokemons along with the weaknesses of each pokemons was difficult even for the regional Professors let alone people who are much less smart and intelligent than them in such a short time.

So we would like you to learn the weaknesses of some pokemons. You all will work in groups and brigades. So it is expected of you to learn a little more about pokemons and different types.

Each will learn about two or three Pokemons and their information will be sent to the sergeants who will later transfer it to their subordinates and make them ready for the raid.

Let's take Rattata for example. Rattata has high bitting force and hence it's super fang, bite and other biting moves are powerful but their defense is weak.

Any slightly stronger attack is enough to knock them out or even kill them. But their greatest advantage is their number and speed.

If surrounded by them, the sea tactics will finish us off. So many traps and pitholes have been dug to slow down their initial running momentum and reduce their numbers considerably.

So in the next few days we will be setting up traps and inreasing defense as well as other things to survive.

These traps may seem a bit inhumane and torturous to you but the most important thing is that we survive this. Also you will work according to the plans from your senior so we don't fall into these traps ourselves." He finished

" So we will be using them to fight the raid "

" Yes. Also some formation and tactics have been discussed with the two second lieutenant and the officer cadets so this plan won't change too radically.

If you can gain benefits with changing some parts of the plan and get better results compared to the original one we did then it's alright.

You won't be punished and might even be rewarded. But if your plan is disastrous than nothing will stop me from hurling you all the way to the military tribunal for their justice to be implemented."
