Chapter 38 : Arrogant soldier

" Sir so all we have to do is follow the instructions and deal with the raid."

" Yeah. There are multiple formations your team leader is obliged and ordered to learn so that the casualty can be reduced.

These are a must and all team leaders will even undergo strict questioning to confirm their newfound knowledge.

These scenario include being surrounded by the enemy pokemons on all side both in group and alone. Next would be facing their blunt force and momentum from them upon colliding, when they try to poison or paralyze you or when you are almost killed."

Since Alex was willing to answer their questions so another one rise to ask him his doubts and many were emboldened to do so.

But this boon is only upto the sergeants and none of the corporal and troopers were asking any questions about it.

The rank grants privilege in the army and of you want to surpass the bondage of rank then you must have higher power than your superior and gain it with strength. After all in this world, the hierarchy is based on strength whether it is personal or group strength.

" Sir, are these strategies rigid . can it occupy some improvisation and make it more worthwhile." Asked a sergeant.

" In a battlefield, anything is possible so one must be prepared for all scenario. Nothing is fixed and all outcomes and results are fluctuating on either side until it comes to an end.

We cannot be too rigid sone changes abd improvisation is allowed but if it completely changes the attack pattern then the whole line would be disrupted and then victory becomes a dream.

So change us allowed but not enough that the defense line is disrupted. So to maximize the chance of success and lessen the casualties I have decided that all the troops will be divided into groups.

I know that you are already divided in groups but now you all will be redistributed. Each team will have at least one hard hitter, one speedster and a defence specialist. And it will implimented two days later in real case scenario.

Your team has already been selected and will be shown to you by five o clock in the evening. So say your goodbyes to your old mates and prepare for new ones. "

Once again the buzzing started as the rearrangement of teams so close to the raid was very dangerous and could case too much damage. This thing Alex himself know about.

But the presence of Xatu in the Town Hall has strengthened his confidence and let him incorporate this absurd plan to his overall plan.

Many of them were dissatisfied with this arrangement but the previous mentioning of ' traitor' by Alex has made sure they remain calm and can't react too aggressively to him.

So although they are dissatisfied they didn't dare to act rowdy with him and tried to reason with him or try to make of fool of him while playing smart.

" Sir, if we change the team now, we won't be able to adapt to the situation and it will lead to hazardous situation." One of the officer cadet, the technician, Barthelomew Davis asked.

" Indeed, it might cause trouble but these teams are made under the careful observation of The two second lieutenants last night.

We spent a lot of time to create the most ideal combination . So if you didn't follow, you will be offending not only me but the two of them too." Alex answered quietly.

To show their support they even nodded but didn't grace him with any words as they feared they may scold him severely for making their efforts go to waste by letting the new team combination invalid.

He looked around to see if someone else needed to smash something. After all, not all of them would be completely obedient.

Barthelomew tried to use the logic to make Alex stop his plans but Alex used the two lieutenants to tackle it without revealing even a single ounce about what benefits they might get by following his plans.

Many knew by Alex's counter that they couldn't put a stop to the plan and may have to forcefully enter this abyss on their own accord with the sword of their superior hanging over their head.

And one rise to cause trouble for Alex, he was a burly man with curly brown hair and sneered at Alex. He mocking asked Alex ," Sir, you mentioned that we are going to be divided into team to increase our chances of survival but won't it work the other route too?"

His words became the centre of attraction of all the people and since his voice was amplified by speakers everyone on the ground heard and they listened to him even more attentively.

Many did not understand what he was trying to say but Alex has a some idea what his words meant. Yet he stated," What do you really mean? Please state your name, position, rank and then elaborate."

He looked at Alex mockingly and said," I am Sergeant Jamie of the 21st Company of the 65 the Infantry Corps.

What I meant was this way the combat efficiency of the people will be reduced greatly. To take care of the weaker ones, the stronger ones will die and then our strength will decrease. If we lose our strongest then we are sitting Psyduck for the Pokemons.

So I think that this arrangement is absurd and what we should really do is let the weaker ones act as barrier or even sacrifice to protect stronger ones and then defeat the code with absolute power.

And we won't even need to use traps or such degrading things. Traps are used by the weaks and stronger ones use absolute power to crush everything." He said all these very passionately and even garnered support from many as seen by clapping of most of the people.
