Hearing Axel's words, everyone froze.
Everyone knew that in this era, if you wanted to be a small captain in charge of defending a city, aside from your own strength, eloquence was also a very important part.
If the other side sent a very strong general, and you couldn't beat him, you at least had to win in cursing, right?
And the small captain who had been pushed out to speak at this moment was even a famously sharp-tongued man among the small captains.
He had cursed so nastily, yet still failed to meet Axel's standards?
"My lord...", The scout captain also knew that Axel was extremely strong. Strong enough to instantly kill famous generals. Some even guessed that Axel's combat strength was comparable to Lu Bu.
But each craft has its expertise. Being able to fight did not mean you could curse.
He planned to explain it properly to Axel, then have Axel listen from the side while he showed off his skills.
Just then, he saw Axel wave his hand and release a red, brick-shaped Pokémon.
"Rotom, connect to the ai database, curse for me!"
Captain: "???"
'What on earth is ai?'
'Also, the two armies are facing each other right now. You're not letting your Pokémon rest while it can, and instead you're letting it curse?'
'Does this make sense!'
But soon, the captain realized Axel's decision was completely reasonable.
That Pokémon called Rotom not only cursed nastily, but its voice shifted constantly, using all sorts of snarky, sarcastic trash talk to bombard Cao Cao.
"A drought lasting three years, all because a disaster star like you appeared!"
"You murdered your brother and stole your sister-in-law, all human morals lost, and you dare call yourself a 'righteous army'?"
"Your brow glows black. Clearly your ancestral grave was dug up. No wonder you deserve to die today."
"A donkey's egg stuck with chicken feathers, pretending to be a phoenix!"
Rotom did not stop for a moment. It kept firing continuously, imitating the mocking tone of Froslass.
Cao Cao was so furious he pointed at Rotom, his finger trembling nonstop, unable to squeeze in even a single line.
The people nearby were all stunned.
Even though Rotom's insults weren't the most lethal, it made up for everything by not stuttering at all.
Several full minutes passed, not a half second of pause, not a single repeat.
If the opponent had been someone with a small heart, he would probably already be vomiting blood from rage by now.
After being cursed at for a long time, just when Cao Cao finally thought of how to counterattack.
A faint ripple of space suddenly appeared. Diao Chan arrived beside Axel with Gardevoir, her face anxious.
"Axel, you should hurry and run. I'll hold the line here."
Seeing the white specks on the corner of Diao Chan's mouth and clothes, Cao Cao's vision went dark.
'Damn it, when I threatened you with the lives of an entire city, you didn't yield.'
'But this guy fought one match for you and you end up like this?'
Cao Cao suddenly felt that Axel wasn't beating Diao Chan. He was slapping Cao Cao in the face.
"Soldiers, attack the city!"
The moment she appeared, Cao Cao launched the siege command. Diao Chan was stunned.
'Why not attack earlier or later, but exactly at this moment?'
'Could I really be a cursed lone star?'
Mewtwo shook its head slightly at the side and played an episode of "The Story of Fei Yangyang."
Axel: "..."
'Come on, who corrupted Mewtwo too!'
———
At Cao Cao's command, his Beheeyem shot into the sky, releasing a strong psychic wave.
In the next moment, all of Cao's forces moved.
More than a dozen generals with Pokémon above level fifty moved out first, charging forward under the protection of Wide Guard.
The Graveler corps held their heads and quickly began rolling across the ground toward the city.
Behind them, the Ponyta corps became a torrent of flames, scorching the earth wherever they passed.
Flying types mixed in the sky unleashed their moves at the same time. Roaring gales connected into one, terrifying like the coming of the apocalypse.
Further back were Pokémon known for high special attack. With a wave of their hands they sent out Ember, Water Gun, Thunder Shock, and other moves toward the city.
One strike was enough to show the terrifying combat discipline of Cao's army.
Under the simultaneous onslaught of these Pokémon, sparks burst everywhere outside Xiapi. Thunder spread across the sky. Elements clashed again and again, giving people the feeling the whole world was collapsing.
"Cao's army is too terrifying!"
"Where are the Ground and Rock types? Hurry and reinforce the walls!"
"Where is the Trapped Formation battalion? Hurry and stop those Graveler!"
On the walls of Xiapi, nearly all defenders fell into chaos.
Even when Lu Bu was alive, Xiapi's defenders were no match for Cao's army.
Though Cao's army had fewer famous generals than back then, their corps were still here.
Stopping Cao's army was as hard as ascending to heaven.
"Axel, you must leave," Diao Chan gripped the crumbling bricks of the wall with both hands as if making a huge decision.
"What Cao Cao covets are your Pokémon. If you don't run now, once the city falls you won't be able to leave."
"Leave this to me and Gardevoir."
Axel shook his head lightly. He had cursed for so long precisely to wait for Diao Chan, to see whether her Gardevoir could awaken that godlike power.
Otherwise, he really hadn't taken Cao's army, which had lost many generals, very seriously.
Now it seemed that power wasn't so easy to trigger.
It probably needed some special condition, maybe killing enough enemies and leveling up again.
Or perhaps a severe shock to the mind, like extreme anger.
"Forget it."
"What do you mean forget it?", Diao Chan looked at Axel, thinking that he had come to his senses and decided to flee.
But Axel stepped forward and said calmly:
"No more pretending. I'm laying the cards out. Everything Rotom said just now was true."
"In front of me, Cao Cao is just trash."
When he finished, the soldiers beside him, including Diao Chan, all fell silent.
The shouting match was already over. We won. There was no need to keep fooling yourself.
Just as they were about to persuade Axel to face reality and run quickly.
The figure of the white Pokémon suddenly vanished, leaving behind only the little box playing the strange sheep animation.
Right after, her figure appeared below the city, eyes locked straight ahead.
One person, facing one hundred thousand Cao soldiers.
