"Then I shall veto all of you through a trial of combat." Jin did not hesitate to reply and suddenly his Maqi got so heavy that all of the old men were not able to stand up. Even though some of them had enhanced mechanised arms and legs, they could not believe that they were unable to withstand the pressure that Jin had.
It was as if he was another kind of being altogether.
The other officers saw the commotion once more and they knew that as much as they hated the military council, they boasted one of the best equipment on them. Their mechanical arms have hidden razor blades to lasers embedded in them and their legs were of the latest versions that Diamondz Corps has to offer.

As for the rest, they could not believe that they were in such a sorry state that the higher ups were so hungry for power they had to fight against each other at a time of strife. It was a good thing that the rest of the armed forces were not here to witness such a pathetic fight for position.
Then the tide turned against Jin almost immediately when they saw that all of the old men who were raring to fight when they heard Jin became so powerless in front of him. They never knew that he had some sort of module that caused this kind of aura heavy technique. (they would not understand that this Maqi was a power of his own rather than a module.)
One of the old men struggled and wanted to use an electromagnetic field module to break this module of Jin's but the System immediately notified Jin and the Interim Leader instantly increased the Maqi aura's intensity to the maximum, forcing the old men unable to do anything.
"ARE YOU STUPID, ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU WANT TO USE AN ELECTROMAGNETIC MODULE IN THIS EQUIPMENT SENSITIVE COMMAND CENTRE?" Jin shouted at the top of his lungs.
"At this rate, I can kill all of you for insubordination and charge you in the attempt of domestic terrorism," Jin said as he picked up his pistol from his holster. He finally calmed his anger down but he was not releasing his Maqi aura against them and had his gun pointed at the old man who tried to use his electromagnetic module.
"Officers, call the military police in. We cannot work with such self defeating council of military men. All of them are arrested for the suspicion of plotting and rebelling against the city state." Jin said and every single officer could see that Jin was more than just a randomly assigned senior military officer from the Archduke's personal army.
He was not just a lord, he was an experienced tactician who brought them out of multiple tight situations. He showed that he was a powerhouse when it came to fights and was ready to work on the ground for the troops without any hesitation. Not to mention, he rewards people when credit was due and did not care about all those fluff bullshit. What mattered was the result and that was the kind of leader that the officers would want to work for.
Hence every single one of them heard Jin's commands and gave a unison 'YES, SIR!' without any hesitation left in them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I will prefer that you say Yes, Sir to the stuff that really matters." Jin smiled a little at the confidence that the tactical officers had for him. "But I appreciate that I have that vote of confidence from the people on the ground."
"YES, SIR!" Another resounding yes from the officers and not a second later those military Mechanoid police came in and arrested the military men. In an instant, their handcuffs deactivated all of their modules and they were unable to move, forcing the mechanoids to carry them out of the command room.
"We wasted time, any new updates?" Jin said and every officer returned the latest information with only minor differences from the previous update that Jin wanted to hear.
"Good, if everything is fine, then I shall give some new instructions to my Platoons. Hit me up when there are any major developments," Jin said and every officer within the room enthusiastically replied to him.
"Pandarens, how are you all feeling? I am seeing some new faces that have come in!" Jin said and finally started to communicate with the groups of Pandarens who had entered. Some of them complained within the group that they were exhausted by the intense workload while others were delighted that they could have a go at this and those were the commoners that Jin had wished to target.
They were finally able to get to try and have a taste of fighting. There was no doubt that there was fear in their souls but at the same time, the System and especially Kraft had purposely concocted a kind of serum that relaxes their body that had been released through the VR pods which could be taken in through skin contact. In turn, it relaxes their body which allows them to have a better connection with the soul.
And in that strand of serum, there were also adrenaline concoctions that occasionally be sprayed to aid the soul in overcoming fear. Therefore, those commoners were able to fearlessly pick fights that were of higher odds against them. It leads to some recklessness but since this was a VR to them, there was nothing wrong with that and that could also allow a quick turnover for others to try.
As for the Pandawans, they were adapting it so quickly that none of them died yet since their healers were also working hard to ensure that they all stayed alive which showed much of their teamwork. At the rate his customers were working, Jin could get the Pandawans to finally complete their secondary quests while directing the Pandarens for a more risky move to divert the Metal Ogres' attention for the next course of action.
