Number One Dungeon Supplier



Just as Jin had expected.

The enemies were getting even more aggressive and there the lull of attacks in the night was probably the missed opportunity to finish things off.  The private corpo commanders had been supplied with fresh Mechanoid troops by the trucks.  And despite not having Rocketeerz to assist them, Diamondz had once again pulled out all stops to bring out their reserve fleet of planes.

Jin might not know it but even their reserve fleet was not as large as he imagined it to be. However, to Edmond Diamondz, total victory was needed in order to heal the pride he had lost from the previous day. How could he face people if they knew that he had been bested by a suppressed Mecha Smith Master whose resources had been stripped to the bare minimum, an apprentice who was still loyal to him, a supposed low end squad from the Empire and a couple of stolen Mechanoids?

He, Diamondz Edmond. One of the leading leaders in the industry of Mechanoid manufacturing had been disgraced by a couple of no names. Rumours had already started floating around ever since his men lost control of Mount Sunn and now his marketing team had been tasked to restrict and banned the flow of information about this current battle.

Yet, because of the collaborative efforts that he embarked on with other industry leaders to make sure that this was a successful quick raid, the details and results of this operation were starting to surface to the public as well. That was why he had pulled whatever strings necessary to make sure that it will end here and now. 

Back when he thought that having more men on the ground would be sufficient but it seems like air support was an inevitable need to ensure that this skirmish would not turn into a pyrrhic victory.  Thus, he even delayed orders of planes and aircraft that kingdoms and countries had ordered to ensure that his agenda was met in securing Mount Sunn. 

Many others who were at the sidelines and still at the sidelines continued to watch to see if this was an endeavour that will make or break Diamondz company. But for now, the amount of manpower and material were increasing multifold with the use of the reserve fleet popping down extra troops, tanks, artillery and other supplies needed to make sure that they break the people inside. 

While they could use several intercontinental ballistic missiles to level Mount Sunn to a flat piece of land, Edmond knew he was not allowed to do that. After all, this was still a piece of Empire land and the Imperial Family had already been paid millions of dollars as 'tribute' to make sure that they closed not just one but two eyes from this fiasco. No support from the Empire Army was given and the ignorance of this incident was already giving him the much needed advantage. 

However, if he ever used such destructive missiles to destroy the place and its surroundings, the pressure by the Archdukes and the duke that oversee and held power over this plot of unused land would incite displeasure of the Imperial Family's attitude towards this incursion. Even as of right now, the Regent of the Empire had already pestered Edmond to finish the fight as soon as possible as the approval of the land by the Synthesis Administration had been secured at seemingly lightning speed as compared to the usual procedures. 

It was as if the Synthesis Administration knew what was happening and decided to put a wedge in this delicate situation or the Archduke had already seen this coming a long time ago and had prepared to counter the Imperial Family for such an opportunity. After all, if he was able to impeach the Imperial Family, Drake might be able to put himself on top of the pedestal and rule the Empire...supposedly if he could fend off the other two Archdukes. 

But considering the development so far, the Imperial Family were guessing the latter when they had no idea that this no name commander called Jin, which requested for the Archduke's debt to be paid with land, had connections with both the Synthesis Administrators and the Archduke himself. The Imperial Family who thought they wielded the highest powers in the country, never knew that powers beyond them were incidentally plotting for their demise as they continued to side with Diamondz.

What they could only hope is to ensure that Diamondz wins after all the advantages that have been given to them will turn the tide of the battle. 

Yet, the Tactical System was doing its best to make sure such a scenario would never happen. Especially when they themselves had decided to take the initiative to create their very first Dimensional Instance without Jin holding their hand and to use it to beat Diamondz at their own game. 

But the Grey Bear Squad Commander chuckled at the prospect. Surely, he had no doubts the Tactical System would be able to create such an instance but, in his opinion, he was hoping that such a trick up their sleeves would not be used especially since such combat dungeon instances required a bet with the Synthesis Administrators and time may or may not be at their side. If the System bet too little, all the points would be wasted and likewise vice versa where they will owe the Synthesis AI if they bet too much and could not achieve. 

Right now, the current dungeon instance that he had was still more than adequate as the amount he bet on it was quite substantial even though the System told Jin he was crazy to do so. "But not so crazy after all once you see the rows of Mechanoids coming forward." Jin's wry smile was the only thing he could muster after having such an intense night. Even when told to nap, he could not help but take the opportunity to touch up his backup dungeon instance in case the first one broke off.

Yet, there was still a part of him that wondered what kind of dimensional instance the System will create. It was to the point where he felt maybe losing might not be so bad to see the stuff the almighty has in store for its enemies.
