Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Master," Archduke Dyke emerged after being killed and he too was bowing in front of Jin, alongside the rest of those who had been captured by Jin after they were killed.

"Honestly, I was half expecting this not to work." Jin said to the System which it now boldly spoke in front of him now that they were in his Synthesis Dungeon, out of the interference of the Synthesis Main Server Administrators.

"The System would have suggested the same as well not to do anything rash. But for some reason, the Synthesis Servers acted as a cover against the Server Administrators and thus, hijacking their avatars and taking their souls had never been easier." The Systems said, still unsure what Jin had done to be able to create an isolated server away from the prying eyes of the administrator.

"In any case, we now know that these dungeons are still accepted by the administrators to a certain degree and we can have our own little space here to do whatever we want." Jin said as he checked the points on the Archduke for curiosity's sake.

"You could have done this in the first place to avoid all this commotion." The System remarked but Jin shrugged his shoulders.

"It's best I avoid capturing anyone I see. But this guy is just getting on my nerves. Do all nobles act the way he is?"

"Not everyone is as humble and grateful when they are on a seat of power." The System replied. "The Archduke as the title suggested that there was no need for him to consider little peons like User is unless you are of use to him. Where a mere peon turned into an insignificant pawn."

"And here I thought that I had to go rogue, killing the Archduke. Heh, Thanks System. Also holy shit… How can I even get that many points in the shortest time ever when the Archduke's points are in the millions?"

"That is why no matter where we go, politics always earn the biggest bucks." The System replied as a matter of fact.

"The only way we can go through this is through a war against neighbouring countries. According to Archduke Dyke's memories, the Ultra Revolutionists that they had captured provided adequate information that the neighbouring Republic was itching for a fight against the Empire. The System believes that is the only way to earn a huge amount of points."

"Aww man, no dungeoning? No business taking? Must there always be war wherever I go?" Jin said as if he was not enjoying the fact that there were conflicts no matter the world.

"While the creation of your synthesis dungeon is helpful to earn points, it has no popularity to begin with. However, what strikes me is how Archduke Dyke sees User's power as a way to be used against the enemy." The System pondered and Jin looked at the kneeling Dyke who was shaking from just being on his knees just for a minute.

"Lol, it's pretty obvious that this guy hardly bends the knee compared to the rest. Everyone get up. I am not punishing you guys just because you all treated me badly." Jin asked them to stand up and Raymond instinctively helped his old lord up.

"Dyke, what do you have in mind with your suggestion that you were awfully desperate to want me under your disposal rather than letting me do my business?"

"The creation of this dimensional instance of yours could be utilised on a larger scale. And through my death, it seems like we might be able to do more than I expect it to be" Archduke Dyke bowed a little before wanting to explain more. But, instead of standing around Jin allowed them to sit at where they were spectating previously.

"Tell me more." Jin wanted to see how a warmongering Archduke could better utilise his dimensional instance even further.

"Initially, I had thought of using these dimensional instances as a way to not only grab their points but also hinder them. By creating a large dimensional instance with minimal troops as diversion, perhaps a division or regiment, the Republic would have 'no choice' but to retaliate by going to war as well.

"As the Empire, it is fairly common knowledge that we always conduct wars defensively. Provoke the enemy and burn their troops' morale down before going in for the kill. The Republic knows that as well but they would still concentrate their troops for a major offensive so that they could take a portion of our lands before calling for a ceasefire."

"On the other hand, we will occasionally fight back with better technology and stronger artillery to beat their troops. This is mainly because there are actually more points killing their troops than taking their land." Raymond added and now he did not have the very same annoyed face as he had previously when talking to Jin.

"They have more troops than us?"

"Yes. A lot more than you expect. The quantity is usually one Empire Soldier to five of theirs." Archduke Dyke explained.

"So by default, you guys fight and win by bleeding them dry since the land they take would have been scorched." Jin was getting the picture now.

"Yes, you are getting the idea. We may not be the largest landholders on the continent, but we are technologically advanced  and more superior in terms of tactics. Compared to those in the Republic who merely throw their numbers at us." Raymond added.

"Still, their numbers are not to be scoffed at. And it seems they might be more determined than ever."

"So far, the latest disputed land is where Artridge was and the Republic had been eyeing them for so long that it finally decided to use rebels as a way to break in."

"Why bother taking that isolated village?"

"This was because that was where their current prime minister was born from. This was the first time that the Republic will be conducting the offensive instead of us provoking it."
