Chapter 229: The Takeover

"Axel, please come in. We are just discussing the possible defense arrangement we could take for the coming tide.", said Salam.

Others were also looking at him for any possible comments. All these things were new to him but he had to take care of them since he was appointed as zone commander now.

"I think we should....

As soon as he started, one of the lieutenants near Bhai\'s side interrupted Axel, "I don\'t know why we are following such an absurd decision and even considering making him a zone commander.

I am not trying to be harsh here Mr. Axel. You may have been a prodigy of your time but you are still a kid. You lack experience. You would now be responsible for the lives of 1000s of soldiers. I just think that you could not handle it. I don\'t want our cadets and captains to lose their life due to your incompetence."

He was one of the younger lieutenants. He was in his late 20s but surprisingly he was an advanced-rank trainer. That was a good level of achievement.

Not everyone was like a monster like Axel. He was going to be a zone commander this time before Axel intervened.

He lost his chance in this catastrophe and was trying to find support to usurp back his position.

This had done wonders and other lieutenants and captains there started to say that they won\'t follow someone so young.

"Yeah, how do you expect me to follow this kid? I am putting my life on the line and now I have to follow this kid and get killed due to his mistakes. No way.

If you choose him to be a zone leader, I won\'t follow him.", said one of the captains.

Another one joined, "We barely knew anything about the tactics at his age. He may be strong but I will also not follow him."

A couple more people joined in the disagreement. The young lieutenant smiled and felt that he had won this time.

Looking at Axel who just lowered his head with his hair covering his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking.

While Lieutenants and captains thought that Axel had accepted his fate, the zone commanders and mayor were afraid of another casualty. Though Alakazam was not here at the moment, they knew it was watching them from somewhere.

Axel slowly asked for confirmation, "So, am I elected as a zone commander?"

"Yes, you are selected as a zone commander for one of the 5 cardinal directions by the top brass of the league", said Salam.

Axel swiftly pulled a sword out of nowhere and struck the young lieutenant with the back of his sword in his stomach. Axel\'s quick action surprised everyone as the lieutenant could not react to his speed and fell down with the impact.

One of the captains caught Axel\'s hand and said, "Stop your violence at once. You can\'t attack anyone just because you feel like it."

"Captain Moore, don\'t disturb him.", said Salam with a loud voice.

"But, Commander, he is..."

"I said you to stop it. Are you disobeying me?"

The captain kept quiet after hearing Salam. Salam was the commander and the guy with the most military authority in this town right now.

Axel then spoke, "A soldier no matter what rank has to follow the orders of the superior even if it is an absurd one. You too should know how strict the discipline of the army is. You should know what would happen when an order is ignored.

Yet a lieutenant who isn\'t a decision-maker dares to challenge the league\'s order?

What will the prestige of the league be and how will it deter enemies in the shadows if something like this happened?

This thing may later spread throughout Kanto and people may consider its order as talks only and nothing else. Would you dare to take the risk and be like him if it leads to this situation?"

"But he didn\'t mean something like that. He was just a little sad about the decision and lost control of his emotions. You can\'t be too harsh on him and beat him to almost death.", said one of the captains.

"Now is the time just before the Pokemon tide. There are many people in the town who are angry, sad, and even afraid. The presence of the military is the only thing that is stopping the town from going to complete anarchy.

What will happen when the presence of the military is lifted?

They will lose control in this situation and even abandon the humanity in them, becoming complete animals and even incarnate of chaos.

They will steal, murder, rape, or do anything that they could think of. They will feel that they should enjoy the last days of their survival and do heinous acts.

Do you dare to think that it would not happen if the disciplinary actions become lenient for violators?", asked Axel.

The whole room got silent. Everybody knew about this but none of them had thought of the consequences to such a degree. Axel may be exaggerating but all of them knew that he was right.

Axel looked toward everyone in the room and said, ....
