Chapter 1531 The System’s Instance -Part 1
"So if Jin wins, the Imperial Family will reluctantly announce his lordship and perhaps see him as a force to reckon against the private corporations?" Old Fammet touched his unkempt beard.
"You mean if I lose, the Imperial Family have every reason to deny Archduke's request even though it had already been approved?" Jin yawned as he knew the conversation was getting nowhere and there was nothing he could do since it is beyond his reach at the very moment.
"Hahahah! Now that is one way to put it. Then I guess the circumstances and whoever wins this fight would prove to the Imperial Family who they could rely on. This will then keep the Imperial Family's reputation to be somewhat neutral even though they are just a bunch of gold diggers." Old Fammet heartily replied at the absurdity of this predicament they were in.
"Honestly, I did not think that far but I made sure not to pin my hopes on getting the Lordship either. It was too farfetched of such a wish to come true even though they are under my command."
"The User could still be in command of several human commanders considering they had fallen in the battle against the Giant Metal Sandworm. The Mechanoids on the other hand need to be rebuilt. the System did not have the capacity to hold their details compared to when you pit yourself against Archduke Drake." The Tactical System stated.
"No worries about that. I honestly not looking to recruit anyone else unless they have talents to boot since according to you, the number of people that can emerge out of this virtual reality is only a handful. There is no way I can bring that many people out and leaving them here in a lurch is not the way I do things." Jin remarked.
"Heh. To be frank with you, the past few days were already a miracle for me. It's fine if I could not-" Jin stopped Old Fammet from talking any further by interrupting.
"-Shh. I said it once and I would only repeat it one more time. You are now part of my team. My employees. So, I am not leaving you and Nie here. We will be the top 3 and get out of here." Jin reiterated his pledge to Old Fammet and it made him smile a little before changing the subject.
"So, if that is the case, what are you going to do? There is no way to continue this fight when our supplies are especially low. We will be losing in the next few days and that is too much of a stretch of optimism. The enemies already know our tactics right after our rodeo last night. There is no way there are going to let us repeat to do the same thing."
"Well... I am still owing the Synthesis AI Administration the condition I stated..." Jin thought about it. Instead of just random transportation, he could do a mass teleportation once more but it would eat up a lot of his Maqi forcing them into his dimensional instance. There was no way he will be able to perform those mass teleportations on a regular basis unless he had the backing of Peppers to supply him some mana. That was why he believed it might be time to use the abilities that the Cardinal Lords had bestowed on him.
He had never tried to use it because he knew it would make the Synthesis AI administration to be suspicious of him and will use any chance to eradicate him. But right now when he learns that the AI Administrators are on board with him to change the status quo of this one hell of a virtual simulation, he was willing to gamble and use his abilities.
Still, Jin did not spur into action like he used to and instead consulted the Tactical System if there were any ramifications of using his said abilities. The Tactical System pauses for a moment to think as if appreciative of its User to ask for its opinion before making any moves. Something which proved that both the System and Jin had developed a sort of workable relationship instead of one merely giving the orders or the other running and doing whatever he likes.
"The System believed that it would be beneficial but preferably used at the last minute. We should not discount the part where Archduke Drake could still be a part to make sure the announcement can go through as soon as possible." The Tactical System stated.
"You still think Drake can do something about this?"
"That was why the System asked the User to try to hold as much as possible. It is also not wise to release the Cardinal Lords' powers in this place." The System stated.
"Are you possibly envious that the Cardinal Lords were able to grant me such abilities while you could not do much to save your user?" Jin suddenly had such a thought and he felt that maybe he tried to tease the System a little.
But to his surprise, the Tactical System kept quiet and showed how the enemy troops were already advancing early in the morning. It then suggested Jin take a quick nap while the Mechanoids will rotate with the fresh ones who they had captured and reprogrammed.
"So you are really going to avoid the topic?" Jin asked as this was the few times the System was hesitant to respond.
"... The System will try its best to make sure the base is ready for the counterattack." The System reported and started to get Old Fammet to look into remodelling the Mount Sunn workshop so that it could convert the workshop's entrances so the enemies would enter into Jin's dimensional instance if they were not able to hold the ground.
But instead of using Jin's dimensional instance, the System would create one on its own based on the workshop layout data it had received from Old Fammet. And the Tactical System was sure that it would not give mercy to the Private Corpos army that was coming in droves.
