Number One Dungeon Supplier



Knowing that the victory they got would be short lived, Jin had decided its no longer possible to keep them in that impasse for too long. The enemies would eventually break out from the debris and corpses that were created from the initial wave of attack and there was no way Jin could win if he did not use his dimensional instance abilities. 

The Archduke Drake had yet to respond to him and there was no information nor announcement that indicated he is currently the lord of the Mount Sunn and its surrounding land.  "I am sorry System. No matter how I see the situation, I still think that your instance should be kept as the very last resort. At the very least I know that I had expended all my energy on it and you can take over once I am spent." Jin said even though he knew that he did not need any permission from the System to unleash the Cardinal Lords abilities. But since the Tactical System had been acting a little weird ever since mentioning it, Jin decided that it was better to at least tell the System.

"The System understands the predicament and realises that it is also not optimal to get surrounded." 

"Then I shall-"

"But the System once again reiterated that it is not wise to brandish the User's powers so openly," 

"Huh? You said you understood the situation?" Jin had no idea what the System was talking in a roundabout way."

"Yes. The System did. However, the System proposed that your powers were to be used once we were surrounded by the enemy troops and after some fierce infighting."  It was then Jin took a moment to calm himself down and relook at the situation again.

"The place will get destroyed. All those defensive systems would be-"

"They can be rebuilt. Everything can be rebuilt considering the amount of points we would be getting. Combat Medic War Maiden Page had compiled a fascinating case to sue the private corporations as long as Archduke Drake is in our favour and once, we get the title of Lordship to be announced to you."

The System explained.

"So... Let me get this right. You want them to surround us so you can limit and solidify their position for an all out attack with my powers?" Jin asked as he finally let go of the idea that he had to protect the place at all costs and instead use Mount Sunn as part of his arsenal to fight against the private corpo army.

"Yes. That way, the enemies would be away from their rear command and the distance provided allowed us to perform a two prong attack using your secondary dimensional instance as well. This will allow the User to crush not just the rear command who had been weakly guarded as well as attacking the rear and flanks of your enemies when they least expected." The System proposed.

"I see. You are right since if I used my powers right now, they would scatter."

"Yes. It might sound like a decent plan to use your powers and disrupt them but the scattering would just be a moment of distraction as their rear command would attempt to come out with a plan to defeat you no matter how strong it is. After all, they have the backing of power and material at their disposal." 

"And once are able to coordinate themselves for the attack. We are left to suffer again and prolong the fight."

"That is worse since we do not have any more ammunition at that stage and all we have is two hundred strong Mechanoids against thousands." The System said and everything start to make sense to Jin who had been stressing out the moment he fell into this current predicament. 

However, with their improved relationship both the System and Jin were able to realistically read the situation and come out with a battle plan that would incur the best chance of success. 

"I understand where you are getting from now. Sorry to doubt you, System." 

"The pleasure is ours. New but limited upgrade cards had been released for the Grey Bears as well as Mount Sunn personnel. Please use it wisely for the fight."

"Roger that," Jin said as he opened the holographic console and started to see what had been offered to him. He did however chuckle when he saw a small P.S. note at the end of the page. "Bring victory to the Panda Clan."

And with renewed wisdom from having that quick discussion, Jin had decided to enact the System's plans. Apparently, with the upgrade cards, Mount Sunn would be able to shoot the mountain cannon within the next fifteen minutes compared to the next fifteen hours. However, upon using the upgrade cards, the Mountain Cannon would cease to work forever. This was the very last time it would be able to operate and Jin had decided to see whether it would be useful to use it now or later. 

There were also upgrade cards where Mount Sunn mortars and artilleries had also been strengthened to the point where they would shatter the shield tank defences but the duration given could at most allowed two shots. And as for the personnel, the Mechanoids including the Grey Bear squads had been given additional boosts cards which could be used at their discretion without the need for Jin to approve. And that included Lynn as well. 

Now all they had to do was to put up a fierce resistance before retreating back into Mount Sunn and allowing the System to perform its first ever personal intervention against the citizens of Synthesis World.

"Everyone! This will be a difficult fight! You all know your roles in battle and I expect nothing else than perfection. Every mini second you shaved off being efficient in your movements and attacks mean one mini second towards victory. So do your utmost best to know that you are with the strongest commander in this world!" Jin shouted and all the Mechanoids acknowledged his battle speech by giving a resounding yes.

(Although Lynn did think that it was shameless for Jin to say that out loud.)
