Chapter 988 Requesting Support From Other Regions

As Kraft continued to convert the Tigers to people loyal to the all new Panda Clan, Jin requested the System to check the situation in the Farming World.

"Everything is all quiet; there are no interferences from the Demon Rats. However, the System has dragged Bellator Peppers to perform a higher Grade Deep Scan as suggested by User. And based on the results, what you were initially afraid of might be plausible based on the section that Peppers scanned." The System reported and stated that Jin's hypothesis that the Rats were plotting something even more sinister by digging through the underground could be correct.

"Then why did you not tell me earlier?" Jin questioned, and the System stated that it would rather have the full scan analysis before sending the report to Jin. What Peppers had scanned was merely a portion of the northern region, and because of the depth of the scan, she was unable to expand the search. Not to mention it took a considerable toll on her body considering this was a new sort of manipulation to her current magic spell. (She probably won't complain if it was an explosion spell.)

"The military leaders have been informed, and they are scrambling to change the plans as we speak. But without Qiu Yue to facilitate certain changes, they were unable to go through with it." The System said, and Jin queried what it had to do with her.

"Sub System Qiu Yue had proposed creating mobile encampments to facilitate attack and defence strategies. While teleporting to and fro would be much easier, the System would not wish to waste resources unnecessarily."

"I thought they wanted to do an all out attack, fighting against the Demon Rats on all fronts?" Jin asked, and the System reported that with the new findings, that would prove to be an insurmountable task.

"We lack the military force, and not everyone is at a 'Nubwort' kind of level. Each and every soldier have their individual level of fighting expertise, and some are better at logistics and crafting instead." The System said as he teleported Jin to the War Room and he saw the usual military leaders like Nubwort and Gold.

"Master Jin." All of them nodded their heads in acknowledgement of his presence.

"I heard from the System about the change in deployment developments, what do we do?" Jin asked as he glanced at the electronic documents on the table which the minions were now familiar in using. Every idea they have, the System would transcribe them and place it on the console for them. Sometimes, the System would even infiltrate their minds and draw or depict the picture/ plan they wished to portray to everyone.

It was a little invasive in nature but rather useful in explaining especially those who were not good with words.

"Master, we actually did not want to bother you since the System said you were busy. We planned to show you the plans once we have most of the things confirmed." Nubwort said with a tinge of anxiety despite being an almighty Orc General. But even the mightiest of generals found this task to be somewhat insurmountable when they used the predictive model and exponentiated the results . Yet, Jin raised his hands to calm him down.

"No worries. I was casually asking the System about the progress of the Farming World military planning. Since I did question how the Rats might be pulling a fast one on us based on the recent choice of deployment they had beset us with."

"As expected of our Master." Moloch complimented, but Jin felt it was a little bit of sarcasm solely because it was from Moloch even though his thoughts were really genuine.

"Yeah, if they have underground sea routes to dig towards the other countries, we might be in deep trouble. We need to inform the other regions about it." Weslie, the Scholar of the West remarked.

"Those people won't listen to us. In fact, they might not believe us. It is too far fetched, and they have their own concerns to deal with." Zieg, the Commander of the Dark Templars said. Being a noble himself from the Eastern Region, he knew how stupid those people in power are and how they worked.

Weslie, on the other hand, wanted to believe otherwise, but her past experience had also shown to her that it would take a lot of explanation and rock solid evidence to change their minds. Why bother to move when the threat is far from their regions? And for the rats to dig hundreds of miles from the Northern Region! That would be nigh impossible to those old fashioned noble minds to wrap around. In terms of technology, the Demon Rats had already outpaced everyone in the Farming World, and it was only Jin and his reinforcements that kept them in check. Should the Demon Rats proceeded forward with their invasion against the other regions, the War Room reckoned that they could easily bring down the capitals in less than a day.

"Even if they believed it, they would say they need to have money to send supplies and soldiers through the Central Ocean and get to us. And if we managed to convince that the threat was real and coming soon, some might say they needed their troops to defend their people instead." Zieg chimed in more of his own opinion and saying what he would do if he had not seen the calamity himself.

"Heh, then I believe they would send a token force instead? But hey, isn't that better than nothing?" Gold asked, and Zieg shrugged his shoulders.

"Not heard about the West and south but their token force probably consist of conscripts or worse, volunteers who sought to improve their lives for a feeble monetary sum from an impromptu recruitment", Zieg replied and with a second thought, shook his head.

"Maybe the northern kids and elderlies proved to be a better soldier than those with their knowledge of using our own crafted weapons. If I say so myself, the Mousefolk that consisted of commoners from Meomi's town had proven to be more formidable a force than any Eastern Knights contingent I knew of. Heck, they might be better than the elites the Eastern Region had in possession." Zieg added, and the rest of the group chuckled a little, knowing that for a fact it is true. "And If I may add, our war tactics are also unconventional, and it would be a burden to those Knights much less a token military force for them to follow our commands strictly. All they know is to fight in a straightforward battle…no wonder the Northern Troops lost so easily…" Zieg whispered to himself the last part and only knew the follies of his tactics until he joined with Jin's army.

"Maybe the Queen in the West could help! I know her personally. Her influence is definitely more than the nobles in the east and should be able to send us more than a token force. Even if they cannot fight effectively, they could help with the logistics and that should be able to lessen the burdens of the System" Weslie said, but Gold held her hand and shook his head.

"She received news that you died. If you return to her this way, she might suspect foul play to your body or thinks that you are an imposter. That is impossible to gain her trust in a short amount of time. Until this incident is over, perhaps." Gold said, and Weslie had nearly forgotten what she had gone through.

"Actually, we can contact the south to help us. My dear friend Nightingale is part of the Southern Stars Organisation. The leader of that organisation holds a high position among their hierarchy of rule. They had also been fighting with us for some time, and since they are more or less after mercenary money, I think it wouldn't be a problem if we provide enough gold." Meomi said as she participated in this war room as a fighter who knew about the Farming World. "More importantly, I saw them how they fought. They clearly preferred our guerrilla tactics more than the usual bashing and the leader who came with this team and decided to compile our ways of fighting."

"That is worth a shot and it seems like a better option than the rest had mentioned. Any objections from the impromptu council?" Jin said, and the rest all looked at Jin with curious eyes.

"Ah, don't worry about money. Tell the Southern Stars they will have it if they fulfil their end of the deal. But, bring Qiu Yue with you when you reach the Southern Region. If she cannot make a bargain profitable for us, I doubt anyone else could." Jin said as he now requested the System to open a communication channel to her.

He knew she might be training hard with the Wolf Foxes, but this was equally important too. In the meantime, Meomi grumbled even though she knew that it was not possible to portal to the Southern Region given that the System hates strangers. Thankfully, the trip to the Southern Region would not be as painful as she thought it could potentially be. She thought that she had to sail for weeks while missing weeks worth of killing rats until Jin stepped in and bestowed a wondrous gift for her mission. He had commissioned a C130 to be flown via the Bulwark Port and subsequently parachute to the Southern Capital.

"As I said, Once you reach there, call out for Qiu Yue or me. When the negotiations are done, load them up to the C130, and we have our first batch of mercenaries to do some rat termination." Jin said as he opened a portal for Meomi to past through while waiting for the System to send an urgent SMS to Qiu Yue.
