Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel

Chapter 991 Review For The New Operation

During the Goblin Orc War, Jin had few allies to defeat the Orcs. The Goblin Army had served as the backbone of that fight while his minions and the cultivators who had believed it to be a Raid Instance had acted as their support. With their combined powers and a bit of luck, they had managed to defeat the Orcs who had been empowered by their Lost Tech. It was the first major victory in Jin’s eyes compared to the minor skirmishes he had in the various worlds he travelled to gain companions. It not only makes him learn how gruesomely bloodly a war could be but also slowly emboldened him to help the oppressed.

On the other hand, his escapade in the Giant World had primarily been a rescue operation despite it being a heavily coordinated effort among his minions and the cultivators. Nobody on Jin’s side had anticipated the sudden interference from the Goblin World’s Shaitans, but thanks to their interference they had managed to clear the operation as quickly as possible, saving almost everyone.

As for the defence of Pandapolis, the Demon Army had grown complacent over the years and had wrongfully assumed that they could win everything with numbers alone. Jin’s side had benefited from the home ground advantage, and Qiu Yue and Moloch had prepared many nasty surprises, in case things would go wrong. If the Mad King had taken him seriously from the beginning, that battle would have likely had a different ending. Jin had also not forgotten that it was ultimately the arrival of Kraft’s entourage at the perfect time which had saved his butt.

Alas, the Demon Rats from the Farming World feared neither men nor monsters.

Under the North and South Scholars, they had raided, murdered, pillaged villages and towns and even exploited the human population. Fortunately, the Spirit of the Lands had agreed to aid the System in its war against the Demon Rats giving Jin a better picture of what was really happening underground.

The dungeon supplier had been baffled by the sheer complexity of the Demon Rats’ ingenuity. He had been mentally prepared to find perhaps an outpost or fortress underground, but not various Mega Metropolises. The Demon Rats had sprawled under the seabed, and the tunnels were already half way through to the remaining three continents.

Everyone was under the assumption that the Demon Rats were not ready to take that final step, but in reality... they just could not be bothered under the grand scheme of things.

Upon judging the serious fighting power of the remaining humans and the secret organisation that aided them, the Scholars had teleported the Northern Capital’s Floating Castle to the town of Wecha. Only instead of winning in one fell swoop with the Floating Castle, they lost against the otherworldly force that had been aiding the Northerners. It was something out of their prediction despite it taking a portion of their resources to do so. They initially wanted to eradicate the town of Wecha at the very least and leave Bulwark Port alone, but reality did not go as planned.

So just like in previous occasions, the Demon Rats fled as best they could and returned to monitoring the Town of Wecha and Bulwark Port while continuing with their plans.

"They have enough power to kill the Northern Region off, yet they purposely allowed a resistance to form which seemingly keeps their numbers in check. I believe they must be planning the same as us, a four way assault on all four regions, clearing out the entire Farming World of humans at once, so that the Demon Rats will reign as the superior race in this world." Jin expressed his opinions to the System as he prepared the additional strategies for Grand Operation Vermin Fall. While the War Room had been thinking how to beat the Demon Rats on a tactical level, Jin was thinking of the bigger picture.

Some might say that it would be better to have the War Room Leaders to be in the picture, but Jin needed time and resources to confirm his operation plans before revealing it out especially when it involved creating new dungeon instances. Yet, he did not forgo the counsel of his minions and colleagues and continued to communicate with them for their help whenever needed.

"That is entirely possible. However, if they split their forces, it’s good for User’s plan." The System stated in an attempt to encourage Jin. However, how could 8,000 Minions win against hundreds of thousands if not millions of rats? There would have been a chance if those pests were stupid and dumb following a zealous leader. However, each and every Demon Rats had demonstrated that they were perhaps cowardly, but smart enough to escape and retreat if they faced with overwhelming odds. They would survive, and once their masters came up with a new plan, they would come back and enact revenge. Maybe coward was not the word, but rather, opportunistic in nature.

What’s more those Demon Rats were born from a variety of plants and possessed a variety of capabilities. Their knowledge of mining, carpentry, blacksmithing etc. gave them quite the edge. The only silver lining was that the Northern and Southern Scholars had been unable to find Gold’s hidden deposit of rare seeds. Otherwise, they might have been even more formidable than ever.

Nevertheless, Gold was troubled and curious about why that was the case. Given the Rats’ abilities and above average keen senses, they should have been able to find it. Surely, they would have gone through every crook and nook of the place to look for treasures and yet, his deposit of seeds were left untouched.

Mystery aside, the System found the plants to be of a wondrous find. Gold did not keep just seeds but soil samples too. The purest of forms in case a disaster befall the nation, and they could use the deposit to reestablish their nation. Thus, the System had been working hard to analyse them, trying its best to replicate the magic of the Farming World, but it was to no avail. Somehow, the trick to growing them still lied with the secrets of the Farming World. Not until the System had finally taken the initiative to contact this world’s Spirits of the Land.

When presented the chance to do so, the System had added a clause in its negotiation with the Farming World’s Spirits of the Land for their knowledge in creating a seed to something in return for killing the rats.

And that clause alone might have been the key factor needed to topple the current predicament that they had. With samples of the soil, seeds and the aid of their Lost Tech, it was finally possible for Jin to fight toe to toe with the Demon Rat’s overwhelming numbers. The only other few things he needed would be money and time. He had recently amassed plenty of the former, but he could not influence the latter. And thus that was when the ingenuity of Jin’s minions came into play.

"Summon Gold, Weslie, Ayse, Rei. Oh and Kiyu if possible. We are going to do some test runs to make sure they work before we mass produce them." Jin ordered as he began to design some blueprints and notes for the incoming minions.
