166 chapter 46: Battle begin (1/2)
” Sir, the traps has been placed and arrangements has been made as per planned. The main force his just a few hundred metres away. ” Glynda explained to him.
” And how many pokemons and what types of Pokemons are out there?” Alex asked the two second lieutenants as well as some officer cadets who served as his advisor now.
Out of the eight officer cadets , six are at the field and only two of them, Barthelomew and Glynda served as advisor.
Jean was also there. She helped him with files and finding appropriate documents which Alex couldn't find on his own.
Jean told,” There are about a few hundred thousand Pokemons in their second and third evolved forms. They are only around advanced stage. They aren't strong but the number brings great problem to us.
As for the pokemons, there are too many to mention the names.
But the most prominent of them are Pidgeot, pidgeotto, Pidgey, Spearow, fearow, golbat, nidorino, nidorina, Graveller, Geodude, golem, Taurus, lickitung, Persian, Meowth, Ursaring, gloom, weezing, koffing, venomoth, ariados and Beedrill.
They number in tens of thousands and are mostly found in groups, while others are lesser numbers and scattered throughout.”
Alex noted that most of the Pokemons are normal type, flying type, ground type, poison type as well as bug type.
He already knew that these pokemons are going to be the main force of the tide so he made preparation for the battle.
The hard hitter, defense and speed were the basis of partition of group. This way they have greater chances of survival which can help.
He even wanted to add healers but he remembered they are rare and most of the military only have attacking Pokemons or defense ones. They don't have any auxillary ones and and don't teach their pokemons any auxillary moves for battle.
” And what about our troops and the trainers in the fight?” Alex asked about the attackers.
” We have only twenty five thousand completely abled soldiers and about ten thousand trainers ranging from rookie to advanced level.
Most are of rookie and beginner level so they aren't much help except for increasing number.” Barthelomew told him.
” Even before the real fight begins, we lost about five thousand people in the battle. You all should go and make sure that the defense line isn't breached.
Now you are much more needed in the Frontline and I meant you too Jean. So get started.” Alex told them and they left even though reluctantly.
Alex was once again left alone. He sighed in the loss of troops. Although the amount of deaths hasn't been more than five hundred, the injured and serious injured one's made the rest.
Alex has forgotten how many times he sighed in the past few days and he was changing. According to Dr Armin, his ideas has helped the Corps a lot.
Normally by this time, they have lost similar number of troops, ie, about five thousand troops. But the difference was that they would lose about two thousand to death and the rest were gravelly injured.
But because of him the deaths were less than before. Yet, hundreds died under his command. When Alex killed others, he hasn't thought what the consequences would be but this time he had deep thoughts about it.
Now, Alex was thinking about how many children lost their father or mother, how many parents lost their son and what they could have accomplished in their life if they haven't died now. And the number would only increase over time.
