Chapter 758 Fox Reunion - Final
Just like Lynn had promised ten minutes later, they were being served some delicious ice cream. All of the foxes soon requested seconds since they felt that one portion was not enough. Rex was baffled the most that such a soft creamy texture could be so delicious.
"Big Brother, you missed out on so much of what life has to offer. After this heist, I will take some time off and show you around. Let you experience for yourself how the world you had protected turned out to be after all those years." Kraft promised, and Rex grinned with a quiet nod.
"System, give us a breakdown concerning this 'dungeon raid instance'." Kraft asked so Rex could be brought up to speed with the current situation his new master was in.
"It has been 7 hours and 43 mins since the inception of the dungeon raid defence. The Pandapolis Air Force has taken a major hit with the new arrival of chimaera type demons which have been identified as part bat and part insect. Further analysis of the captured beasts has revealed that both were genetically modified into a demon instead of a mere fusion." The System started its reporting.
"We don't have the time for such a detailed breakdown. Just give us a general overview of any significant changes, a summary of sorts." Kraft rolled his eyes a little.
"System strongly believes that Original Bellator Kraft will not grasp the magnitude of the situation without hearing all the details. System is also merely following the prerogative set up for the intelligence officer to stay informed about all ongoing matters." The System retorted.
"Fine, but at least add some pictures or better yet a video coverage for the scenes as we continue enjoying our ice cream. Otherwise, Rex will have no context for your rambling. Or did YOU already forget that you peeps locked him in solitary confinement for centuries with no entertainment at all?" Kraft tried to bargain while not missing the chance to annoy the System at the same time.
Yet there was no need for that.
The System conformed to his request surprisingly easy this time around.
With some imagery fresh from the scene itself, Rex and the others who hadn't been paying too close attention to the whole affair were mildly taken aback by the scale of it. "This feels entirely like a mini warzone by itself," Rex concluded, and Kraft scoffed.
"Of course, it's a war zone. And both sides haven't even revealed their whole hand yet. You see that guy sitting all so nonchalantly there? King Baal is responsible for this whole siege situation. Just because he has some beef with our little cotton butt Moloch, he came with his whole entourage to take away what we have built. Remind you of someone conceited who we know?" Kraft asked, and Rex nodded his head quietly as he placed the ice cream into his mouth, savouring its sweetness.
"Continuing from the previous analysis: The Wyvern Goblin Knights have barely won against the new type of enemy and have requested for Pandawans help, mainly the Illusive Rabbit Cultivator Luo Bo, and the Gunning Giraffe Cultivator Jing Ru. They are on their third and fourth attempt respectively in this dungeon raid and had their squads piggyback on the Wyverns along with the Goblins." The System stated.
"Ah, so Qiu Yue finally took my advice to combine the ranged Pandawans with the Goblins. I told them the wyverns could easily handle the weight."
"This combination has indeed proven useful. There has been an increase in combat effectiveness by more than 50%, pushing the Bat Bottleflies capture rate to 75.40%. Wyrstriker has already been ordered to lead the retreat once they finish capturing the rest of the Bat Bottleflies."
"As for Pandapolis' only available naval ship, the Stalingrad is still standing strong. It has survived being bombarded with multiple cannon shots, suffering 346 hits in total. Lord Wolte's resilience has surpassed the estimated analysis. A possible reason for this error in judgement is most likely that the magical connection between Lord Wolte and Shadow Dagen has made it possible for the Stalingrad to stay afloat for so long. More tests will be required to determine how much the prior meal of the Shadow Dagen played a role in this."
"That's rather amazing." Kai blurted out as the System changed the camera angle and showed the intense fighting on the decks. Dark Templars who had been killed earlier were redeployed again within the ship's perimeters, and Kraft smirked.
The System's ability was completely a cheat in this kind of fight. While the Dungeon World also had the concept of resurrection, the Dungeon Core naturally would not allow any attackers or defenders to resurrect as normal until the matter was resolved, else the fights would never end.
The stunted resurrection time could be hastened with the use of magic, but it required multiple high-level mages that were proficient in this matter to outright revive an ordinary soldier on the battlefield and required much more for those Demon Lords.
Mana is also a precious resource on the battlefield, and even those mages could perform resurrection, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield to take care of. It was just impossible to take care of these many soldiers. And why waste mana when offence is the best defence? Hence, most of the attackers would hardly consider the option of reviving their soldiers during the siege.
But for the System? Reviving monsters had basically become its second nature, and since the System acted outside the realm of the Dungeon World, it was not bound by its strict rules. Nevertheless, it wasn't free, and it had to pay for it as well. (Too large a cost for the stingy System, despite being a lot cheaper than the complicated resurrection procedure in Jin's world.)
"The Dark Templars have proven themselves able to hold the fort on the Stalingrad with the aid of Shadow Dagen controlling some of Stalingrad's turrets." The System stated, and Rex began to wonder.
"So…all these monsters belong to our new master?" Rex queried, and everyone nodded their heads simultaneously. "Yup, once we kill them, they get revived. Jin is basically a next level Necromancer." Kraft joked. "If not for the dungeon supplier profession, he is probably slated to be an upcoming major villain in our world."
"Don't listen to that dumb fox. Jin is not that bad of a person. If you talk with him, it becomes apparent that he still needs more experience under his belt and has quite a bit of growing up to do. Though so far, I've seen him adapt to the situation and change for the better despite the constant influence from the System." Pei immediately spoke out in Jin's defence since she was the closest person who had constant surveillance on Jin.
"If our objective-driven Pei gives such a fair analysis for our new master, I will trust her on that," Rex said as he placed his spoon down, secretly thanking the chef for the delicious meal and grabbed his jacket from behind.
"Panda Remnant Rex, the briefing is not done yet." The System cautioned, and that comment stopped Rex in his steps for a moment.
"Heh, not Panda Ex Master, Ex Panda Clan Member and also not Bellator... but Panda Remnant. How strange but also familiar and fitting..." Rex whispered to himself absentmindedly though everyone on the table had been able to hear what he said with their acute hearing senses. Yet, for appearance sake, they all pretended they hadn't heard anything except for one.
"Don't worry about all those things, Big Brother. That just means you are free from your obligations and trust me, our new master is rather flexible about our movements. He doesn't tie us down unless there is a valid reason for it." Kraft also stood up to wear his coat, and the rest followed suit by gulping down their remaining portion of the ice cream and took their jackets.
"Well, you could say that I am a little angry that I cannot catch up with all the changes, but let's just go to that King Baal's prison. Little Kraft, I trust you enough to guide us all to steal that treasure you scoundrels were talking about. Let's go, guys, let's whack some heads like in the good old times!" Rex slammed his fists together and the rest resonated with a loud acknowledgement.
