Number One Dungeon Supplier
chapter-1312

"I have to admit, I am actually having fun." Se Chang Chang, the Royal Snake Zodiac Head, said as he slid through the defences of a particular guard abomination and attacked it from behind. In the meantime, Royal Zodiac Tiger Head Yuan Ba took the opportunity and smashed its head with just a fist of fiery chi when it got distracted from the trick attack Chang Chang did.

"I will not deny it." Yuan Ba mumbled as his face grinned widely at the kill. It had been a long time since he had a satisfying time fighting against monsters in a dungeon instance that was worthy of his strength. Shu Tiao Xiao, the Royal Rat Zodiac Head, then took the opportunity to cut down the soldiers that were assisting the abominations.

"Pssh. That Jin probably did this on purpose to incite me." Tiao Xiao said and Mu Ji, the Royal Zodiac Rooster Head chuckled.

"To be frank, his dungeon instance is definitely better than yours by a whole lot. It will probably take you more than a thousand years to reach this kind of quality especially when you are scheming to cheat money off your customers." Mu Ji said and Tiao Xiao ignored her.

"But still, I am rather surprised you are here after all that commotion that happened with you and Jin." Mu Ji added as she released a flurry of arrows that struck true to the rats that started crawling out of the debris of the broken buildings.

"He paid me enough to come. Besides, he had treated my policemen here more than any other landlords." Yuan Ba gave such a bad excuse that the other Royal Zodiac Heads was snickering at his dishonest feelings. He always knew how awesome Jin's dungeon instance had always been and this was his excuse to come here to experience it first hand.

Even if he had hated Jin for the things he had done, there was nothing wrong in getting enjoyment from the service he provided. After all, if the dungeon instance could get him to be stronger, he might take the chance to do so without any hesitation. This is especially true when there was not enough impetus in the current setting they were living in to do so and the threat of the Banned Emperor did make him slightly anxious after seeing his kids losing to Jin.

This was because he could already feel Jin might be on par or even stronger than him even without direct confrontation. And the ability to create this particular dungeon instance was a testament to his strength. Everyone also felt the same as they all knew how hard it was to create such a realistic dungeon instance if he did not have that kind of experience. Even if did not go through such an ordeal, the talent to create such an immense dungeon instance was without a doubt a feat that people would envy.

But as the Royal Zodiac Heads were singing their praises to Jin, (Be it reluctantly or not) Jin was too focused on the situation at hand to bother about their words. As expected by the System, the Demon Rats had been alerted to carry on with their digging operation at full force. The Spirits of the Land were doing their very best to provide minute to minute information to the System as well as the coordinates where they were emerging from.

Jin then quickly relayed the information to two of his trusted advisors of war. Gold, the Scholar of the East and Zieg, the Dark Templar Commander. While Gold was accompanied by his Werejackals, the WereMice were with him as well. They were the vanguard that would intercept the East's digging as soon as they emerged from the ground. As for Zieg, he was handling the West alongside the Scholar of the West who seem to have better luck getting more help from the people of her land due to her previous influence as the Scholar.

They were more than surprised that she was alive and the adventurers were willing to pitch in to help. Even though Zieg believed that his Dark Templar Knights had the strength of twenty of those adventurers, it was the quantity that matters since they were pitting against numbers.

But as they awaited the Demon Rats' emergence, both the East and West had already prepared a ton of surprises for them. As much as nobles on both sides were unhappy with the amassing of troops, they were quickly appeased with sufficient gold and food stock that Jin had prepared, allowing the two armies to have a proper foothold against the Demon Rats. From artillery to traps and mines, they were well equipped to push back the Demon Rats for at least a day before they were wiped out or exhausted.

That was where the Southern Army which Jin had conquered previously would come into play. With the exact coordinates coming through from the System, Jin can finally confirm that the Southern Region was currently safe from the invasion of the Demon Rats which allowed the Southerners to participate in both the East and West campaigns to push the Demon Rats back to the North.

An advanced force of paratroopers trained by Jin's minions' finest would be departing first before the rest that arrives by boat. This way, there would be sufficient reinforcements for the first wave to go through the Demon Rat Caves.

"Jin, we saw some movement on the ground. Getting ready for the fight." Gold reported while Weslie, the Scholar of the West said that their side was still monitoring the situation.

"Very well, the moment you see a break in the ground, do not hesitate." Jin gave full approval for Gold to take over the battlefield in the East and in less than a minute, he took charge by firing a volley of artillery the moment he saw a crack on the ground through his binoculars.

No Mercy to the Demon Rats.
