Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 713 Attacking the City and Looting the Territory

"How could this happen?" Yang Ming frowned. Xi Jiana was an old employee he had recruited since the days when he was a "lone commander". If something happened to her, it would undoubtedly be a very bad thing for him.

"Well... it's like this. When we came back here, Miss Xijiana suddenly disappeared. There's a note she left here."

Yang Ming picked up the note and took a look at it, and his frown instantly relaxed.

"What? After all this time, this girl left on her own. Come on, everyone, get up. Stop looking like the sky is falling."

Since Xi Jiana said in the note that she was going out to practice, it meant that there was nothing wrong with her body, so Yang Ming felt relieved.

Next, Yang Ming took the initiative to reveal his identity and lured more than 100 people to join his camp. Most of these people were subordinates of the military leaders of Ula Ula Island. Now, most of the military leaders of Ula Ula Island have died in the ultimate space, which made them feel at a loss. Seeing that Yang Ming took the initiative to invite them to join, these people naturally agreed happily.

Only a dozen members of the Skull Team expressed their loyalty to Guzma. Yang Ming did not stop them, but generously stated that they were welcome to join his team anytime they wanted.

Afterwards, Yang Ming took these people to search around Yuelun Lake and soon found his 150 subordinates.

When Yang Ming found them, these people had already joined forces with Hao and Gladion. Yang Ming counted the number of people and found that except for some who were injured, most people were intact.

These people were very cunning and hid far behind, so they were not directly attacked by Necrozma.

Only Gladion still looked unhappy.

"You, you, you...why are you with my sister?"

When Gladion saw Lillie wearing Yang Ming's clothes, he felt sick.

However, Yang Ming didn't care about this and instead extended an olive branch to him.

"Your sister is mine now. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't you join me?"

This statement was of course no joke. As the son of the Aether Foundation, Gladion's value might be even higher than Lillie's. If he could be won over, he would have another bargaining chip to deal with Lusamine in the future.

Gladion was immediately furious: Is this human language?

But on second thought, he felt that he could take this opportunity to monitor Yang Paopao to prevent him from doing anything to Lillie, so he chose to join Yang Ming's team.

"Let me make it clear in advance, if you dare to bully your sister, I will never let you go!"

"Don't worry, if I do anything excessive, you can beat me to death."

Yang Ming chuckled inwardly: I'm not a lolita complex, how could I possibly have any ill intentions towards Lillie? However, Gladion, this free thug, couldn't be wasted. He'd recently recruited quite a few new soldiers, so he'd let him work tirelessly training them.

Yang Ming took these people around Yuelun Lake again, but found no trace of "David Dai" Liangzi and others. Just when he was feeling puzzled, he received a call from his adjutant Tokugawa on his mobile phone.

"Boss, we've followed your instructions and started heading north to capture cities and territories. Just as you said, the defenses of those mountain villages are extremely weak. Brother Jones and I easily captured five towns and over 5 villages."

"Okay!" Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Before the operation began, Yang Ming divided his men into three groups. One group was led by Kahili, who sneaked into Yuelun Lake from Ula Ula Garden. They were responsible for rescuing Liliae and acting as troublemakers on the battlefield.

The other two groups of troops were 150 elite strikers led by Tokugawa and 1000 second-line fighters led by Jones. They gathered in the Haina Desert in the south of Ula Ula Island, ready to march north at any time.

After the Battle of Yuelun Lake broke out, the eighteen princes and the Skeleton Team gathered all their main forces in the Yuelun Lake area, resulting in extremely insufficient troops left behind in their old nests. Yang Ming took the opportunity to order Tokugawa and others to launch an attack immediately.

Tokugawa brought 150 selected forwards, riding on the mole robots developed by the Rocket trio, and marched out from underground, quickly conquering several villages. Since the defenses in these villages were extremely empty, Tokugawa and his men resolved the battle in a few moves.

After occupying these villages, Jones brought his 1000 men to take over these territories. Since Yang Ming's newly recruited men were all refugees from Ula'ula Island, they took the initiative to communicate with the villagers and said that they were only there to liberate these villages.

The villagers had long been fed up with the exploitation of these military leaders and bandits, and their lives were miserable. Seeing that the troops were coming to liberate them, they immediately changed their ways and took the initiative to join Yang Ming's army.

Jones was overjoyed to see the villagers cooperate so well. He immediately opened the military leaders' granaries and distributed the food and wealth inside to the villagers. At the same time, he organized the villagers to defend the village to prevent the military leaders from coming back.

In this way, Tokugawa and Jones, one in front and one behind, attacked cities and seized land while recruiting people nearby, and soon occupied more than 20 villages.

Later on, they were no longer satisfied with capturing villages of a few hundred or a few thousand people, and began to plan to attack towns with tens of thousands of people.

Unlike those villages, these towns are basically the territories of quasi-kings, which makes the two of them a little hesitant, wondering if they will provoke some powerful enemies.

But when they thought about how they had not encountered any decent resistance when they had previously attacked the territories of those elite military leaders, the two of them became bolder.

So after discussing with Tokugawa and Jones, they decided to make a plan to capture the nearest town.

First, Tokugawa took his elite troops on a Magikarp submarine and sneaked into the town by water. Then he took the opportunity to kill the guards and create chaos in the town. Finally, Jones' main force launched an attack from the outside, and took control of the town with the help of both inside and outside forces.

The advantage of doing this is that there is a great chance of launching a surprise attack and killing the quasi-king who is still asleep. Even if it fails, Tokugawa can still retreat with his men on the Magikarp submarine and avoid annihilation of the entire army.

However, when they actually started the sneak attack, they found that this small town was as poorly defended as the previous villages.

After killing the only elite guarding the town, the two men effortlessly disarmed the town and then recruited the townspeople as before.

The two men never expected that these towns would be so easy to capture, so they continued to attack and occupied four towns one after another. Like the previous towns, the defenses of these towns were very weak, with only two elites guarding them, and the quasi-king who was the ruler was missing.

To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, Tokugawa felt that they could have captured a few more towns.
