Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel

Chapter 1031: Recruitment for the Demon Rat Offensive

As Saberteeth worked out the details with the mayors to get their support for the relief effort at the capital, he was also writing contracts for them to draft manpower for the Demon Rat Offensive. Since Jin had been able to get the Southern Leader on his side, he might as well play bigger and mobilise the entire Southern Region.

That way, not only would it make the Demon Rat Offensive slightly easier, it would drastically increase the production of the items he wanted to make in the future, if he had ended up with two major regions under his control.

However, the mayors were a little skittish on the fact that Saberteeth was giving their recruited men off for training, islands away from the Southern Region. All these were once again orchestrated by this secret organisation, just called the 'P".

Yet, the reimbursement to the men as well as the mayors was astonishingly good, to the point that they could not believe it until Jin sent Claire, his new Sub System User that specialised in finances and accounting.

She literally presented the mayors with treasure boxes worth of gold and even offered them straight up. While in the real world, it was considered to be bribery, Claire knew that these members of a …backward society would prefer a valuable exchange immediately over contracts that would benefit them long term.

Still, there were leaders with decent moral values as chosen by Saberteeth himself to govern the towns and these gold bars were merely seen as an incentive to spur them forward. Claire further sweetened the deal for those who accepted the call of the drafting of individuals and gave her organisation more people to train, she would even throw in perks like a free ton of food supplies. However, knowing the Demon Rat numbers, Claire added that women, children and even elderly with sufficient strength could participate in it too.

When the mayors queried about the training conditions, they were surprised to find out that they would be given shelter and food as well as a stipend which they could use to spend on items they had on the island as well as bringing it back to their own country. As expected, the mayors were taken aback by the perks but Saberteeth lied by saying he had reviewed the training regime and stated that it was not easy but overall it would be mutually beneficial for the Organisation P to train their people.

Once more, with the backing of Saberteeth, the mayors agreed to this win-win situation for them. They had quite a number of starving and lower income classes which plagued their streets. It could amount to sheer governing incompetence but the place they were in played a major role as well. Naturally, they did not mind this Organisation P taking these people away. It would allow them to finally rebuild a few of the slums to proper buildings while improving the condition of their towns overall.

It was such a steal that the Organisation P was doing but Saberteeth said that they had been doing this for the rebellion in the Northern Region. If not for their help, the Northern Region would already have been overtaken by the Rats. Many of the mayors queried where the wealth of this organisation P came from or whether their sponsors were from the Eastern and Western Regions. But all Claire did was to smile at them, telling them not to worry about it. (All the more they worry!)

With the military recruitment out of the way, the focus of the meeting shifted to routine issues which Saberteeth and the mayors would attend to. But as all these administrative matters were being sorted out, the real work was being done at the ruins of the Southern Capital.

Since Jin wanted the Southerners and monsters to cooperate, Silver had to put them into various groups, mainly the debris clearing group as well as the salvaging group. The Zurglings, while small in size, were great for removing the smaller debris as well as picking up items that could be salvaged. Alas, most of the items had been melted or burned to the point it was impossible to tell what the original item was, yet there was still various metal and stone that could be reused.

Thus, the Zurglings would prepare to bring whatever 'trash' they could find to a certain point and the humans would sieve out the trash for processing. In the meantime, the Southerners who knew how to cook, assisted the Animal Folk from the Giant World to make meals for the thousands of Southerners that had been left estranged. As for the other Southerners, a few Minotaurs were stationed in the camp to help with reconstruction efforts.

While the Zurglings removed the smaller debris, the larger flying monsters would assist with the bigger ones and when a section of the Southern Capital was cleared, the Minotaurs sent in the already assigned Southerners to start digging to build a proper foundation. And of course, Jin provided them with modern tools like Construction Golems while the Orcs taught them how to use them.

Jin did not want them to rely on their food supply too much, so Silver had sent out some of the mutated Zurglings, a few of their warriors and even kids to work together to gather food in the forest as well as the nearby coastline. Because of their size, some of the kids and teens sat on the Zurglings as they partnered with each other to find berries, herbs within the forest.

Silver hoped that this forced pairing would slowly increase their relationship and teamwork with each other so that the System could release the mass enforcement orders, and their behaviour and attitudes would stay the same.

Just a few days passed, but the disaster rescue camp was already bustling with activity. Initially, it had been chaotic with Silver and the Jacks having to shout out their orders to get things done, it didn't take long for a semblance of orderly work in the area to appear.

Silver was younger than Gold and had lesser life experience, the days where Silver had secretly coordinated with the rebels against the Rats had allowed him to become a better leader than most would acknowledge him.

Nevertheless, this particular situation where he had to coordinate thousands of humans who did not know a single thing about reconstruction or the monsters where they had been living from hunting only, had proven to be a significant challenge for the interim leader of the Jacks.

Fortunately, when Saberteeth returned from the mayor meeting, he instantly helped Silver and improved the werejackals' processes by a whole lot. This in turn allowed Silver to take a breath of relief for a day or two and just when he thought he was able to take a break with Saberteeth leading the way, the Southern Leader suddenly disappeared because Jin summoned him for some other military related issue.

Silver naturally complained to Jin, alas all the Dungeon Supplier said was that he was doing a good job on his own. He praised him and told him he was confident that Silver would be able to take over the lead once more. Even Gold chimed in, stating that he was doing well.

But Silver thought otherwise.

"This pressure! GAHHHH!!" Silver grumbled as he looked at the construction plans in the disaster camp headquarters for Jin had something in mind with regards to the new Southern Capital. (But he did secretly liked the praises.)

It was another of his grand plans to revitalise the region
