Number One Dungeon Supplier

The dissent within the Commando Mages had been quelled. The Celestials were returning to their home plane. Ress was falling into place with the reconstruction efforts with the exception of Lyro since Jin had yet to return to the place because it was the Celestials' temporary dwelling.

Other than that, the entire twist and turns with each of the leaders having their own agendas had been fulfilled. Jin thought he had outsmarted the Celestials but he eventually became their pawn in their own game of chess.

He sat at his office chair for a moment to recollect before working throughout the night, knowing that this was not the end for Ress even though his current agenda had been completed. He had met with the Celestial resistance earlier than expected and crushed them. However, what the King of Ress needs to contend with is to keep Ress in power until they are strong enough to survive by themselves.

If Jin were to leave right here and right now, Ress would still survive but they would be in a hellscape due to the southern kingdoms attempting to take over this weakened magical territory after their fight with the Celestials.

Even the System had advised Jin to continue his responsibility now that they are technically 'out of the wilds'. "The System advised Jin to conquer the lands to the east, and while the Mong Empire and their mindless zombies attempts to prevent the imminent chaos as the South set their eyes to the north."

"So, you are saying not to eliminate our most direct threat because Kraft can control them?" Jin asked and the System acknowledged firmly.

"Affirmative. Interim King Kraft or the Original Bellator wanted to be known as Great King K of Khaos, had stated that he would send his Star Foxes and zombies to ambush the south. The Southern Kingdoms would have to concentrate on fighting those zombies before mounting an attack against Ress."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I will do my best to restore the infrastructure as well. Maybe, we can build a Great Wall in Atopia and call it the Great Wall of Ress." Jin said as he thought of leaving a China based landmark as a memento to the people that he was not from this world.

"That would be impractical since the armies would have magic and cannons that-"

"Sheesh! Of course, in design, it would be the Great Wall of China but we can place defensive installations such as anti air cannons, missiles, artilleries and underground trains as transport." Jin sometimes feels that the System purposely tried to counter Jin for the sake of it. He wondered whether the System derived some sort of 'fun' from such arguments.

"That would be plausible. Aside from the west, the east and the entirety of the North can be within Ress's control. It will take some time for the kingdom to rebuild not just its infrastructure but also their stockpile of food and raw materials…as well as human beings."

"I do not have time to wait for everyone to have sex and get pregnant. What we can do is to artificially increase the numbers with our Pandarians especially when they have significantly higher headcount than the last time we saw them."

"User had given them a lot of luxuries and comfort for them to procreate. And also, they defied the usual mating seasons that User's Homeworld Pandas have. In comparison, they were similar to cats, when it comes to breeding and considering their world's predicament, they-"

"Okay, okay. I do not need an extraterrestrial science lesson right now, I am glad the Pandarians are happy putting out more Pandas to help us. They can be used to boost the numbers in Ress considering how the citizens were already aware of their presence." Jin said as he started drawing the Great Wall line on the holographic map they had made from exploring Atopia.

"We shall use them as the first defensive line while our military instructors continue to train new recruits, both Pandarians and human beings," Jin remarked. "At the same time, the Daemon Corps would be subjugating and recruiting more demons to our side while simultaneously clearing the North so that we can have resources and more manpower-erm demonpower? On our side."

"The plan seems feasible and the System assume that the standard hunter rotation would also be in place so that the citizens would not go hungry. Or do you wish to increase the hunter's rotations as well?" Read new chapters at empire

"We still have quite a handful of military stockpile from the war with the Celestials. Increase the hunters' rotation telling them we are paying them double and also get them to take from the military stockpile. Inform the Royal General and Logistics department about it." Jin ordered and the System nodded its proverbial head.

"I will work my way to repair Lyro so that the automated systems can start building ships too. That way, we should be able to get some food stock from the sea. Urgh, I should have asked the Demon Octopus to hunt for us too right? I remember seeing how it had so many damn tentacles of serpents. It should be able to get quite a fair bit of food."

"The System agrees with User's conjecture but excessive hunting will bring chaos to the marine ecosystem of Atopia."

"What the heck are you talking about? He is just one octopus and I doubt the exploitation of the seas would be as bad as our modern day home world." Jin said and the System recalculated its risks and benefits.

"It seems the System had used User's homeworld's statistics to work the numbers out. The System apologised for such an error." The System said and subsequently proposed the possible routes the Demon Octopus could take. "In addition to its hunting, the System proposed that the Demon Octopus can also scout for Ress the ideal locations to hurt the southern kingdoms from the back."

"Oh huh. Have they not learned how to see that their world is round?" Jin asked and the System stated that based on the marine data it currently has, the world did not possess such knowledge. Either that or the infestation of the Demons within the sea had made it impossible for them to explore any further.

"I see…Then maybe I might not have to stay in Ress longer than I thought." Jin said thinking that maybe …perhaps maybe he could end this early.
