Number One Dungeon Supplier

Jin literally went into a pinch when he gave them the information. He had no idea that Yinn would be so opposed to going against the odds. But in retrospect, it was not her fault to think that way. Jin had always been in the business of doing crazy stuff with his minions and they knew they could deliver results.

But this was not one of such cases.

Perhaps the adrenaline of destroying that many Mechanoids had drugged him to think that he could do anything even being a hero to save them. However, when the entire squad are pressing for a convincing answer for him, Jin was not able to give them one.

His so called absolute authority had not been brought over to this new world that he was in and now he could feel how it is to feel resistance against his own selfish actions. Even in his business, he had compromises that were leaning towards his favour but right now, he had nothing at hand that could make them move for him.

"And from the beginning, this is a scouting mission. We are not obliged to save anyone. There is no bonus in saving someone as well. In fact we have completed the mission with flying colours. All we need to do is to find an official Empire communications outpost and submit our findings." Yinn said as she stared at the 3D printing of the electric drill. It was a pity to stop the production since it would be a waste so she could only allow it to continue to finish the 3D printing. (Usually, it would take faster than this but since they were initially dealing with unknown debris, Yinn had set it to the second highest detailed setting for durability.)

"We will continue your command to cut off the power. It would be the best way to trap them until proper reinforcements are here to dispose of them." Diaz replied as well.

"I might be able to overload the power if the generator allows and we can create a mini explosion on the machine so that they had to deal with a fire on their machine" Click suggested.

"Ah, so the Rebel Commanders will die because of the trapped smoke." Diaz thought that would be a great idea.

"So long as we do not submit the Tactical System's images, the Empire would not question us." Tellie hinted that killing the three humans was okay.

"Yes, the Empire also knows how flawed the Tactical System is. Even if we were to submit the images, they wouldn't fault us for not recognising it. Well, that's the worst case scenario which I doubt would ever happen. We had already completed our mission and gone over and beyond our duty." Yinn started to feel that Click's suggestion was the most ideal route.

"All the extra money, I can finally have a proper overhaul of my Mechanoid body." Diaz felt happy for once and the rest chipped in, ignoring what Jin had in mind.

"A little help here…" Jin whispered through his head as if asking for a certain somebody to aid him with his cause because he knew that the anger he had right now was not going to help the situation. Instead, it might aggravate them even further and force them against their commander.

They were not wrong in terms of self preservation but if they got the ability to save someone, Jin would do it even though it was not for profit. This is because he had the power to do so.

Instead of the usual talking back that Jin had thought it would, the Tactical System spontaneously started to process something and began to show the registry of the villagers in Artbridge. It then sorts and eliminates the people that emerged from the registry right in front of his console.

Once the sorting and elimination were done, there were six names that was popping in front of his screen and their pictures. "What?"

Jin might not know the names but the title and rank had popped up way too obvious for him to not ignore.

"Can I ask… does the title of Archduke matter?" Jin questioned the squad and they stopped their idle chatter. Jin then sent out the pictures to all of them and stated that based on their electrical and heat signatures, the possible candidates that could be stranded underground were those few.

"How can it be? Why would the child of an Empire Archduke be in this backwater place? I think this is one of the times, we should not even follow the Tactical System." Diaz said as they were finally approaching the generator.

"Yea, that is impossible." Click said as she surveyed her surroundings and was prepared to rush in with Diaz.

As impossible as it might have sounded, this gave Jin what he needed the most. An appropriate excuse to press for a rescue. This was because he roughly could deduce the consequences if they were not able to rescue a child of the Empire's Archduke as far fetched as it sounds.

Surely, there would be punishment for not even discovering such a fact and this might be the whole reason why their initial mission had been scouting type. If they had done what the mission had entailed, the squad might be able to ride it off with a death glare. However, there is no going back now that they had gone into the thick mud with the rebels, forcing them to at least attempt a rescue.

They might be punished for trying to hoard all the glory to save the child but at least they try. Either way, retreating was not an option.

"We will follow according to the plan. Cut the power to emergency power so they at least had some ventilation and then we will attempt to force our way to rescue the humans." Jin said as Yinn slammed something on Jin's chest.

"Earplugs and set the Tactical System to close off all firing sounds. It is going to be loud underground." It was apparent Yinn was not happy that she and her squadmates had to risk their lives for a kid that might be the Archduke.

"And I hope you are right because I am expecting a big reward for risking my life for such bad odds," Yinn declared and Jinn nodded his head in agreement.

"Let's survive this first."
