Chapter 1551 Catching Up -Part 13

Even as Jin interpreted the way he wished to, a quick clarification (which Kiyu eventually said it was no fun for Jin) from the System enabled Jin to find out that Rex was the biggest 'big brother' of the foxes aside from Kraft.

Kiyu was not wrong.

Rex did purchase the cities that connected to the Pandapolis that enabled the Seven Cities to relocate to those locations. But that was after blockading each and every city with the aid of the Demon Armies. Those armies were left on the outskirts of the cities for days and some were even months.

Nothing could go in but people can go out... Just that those people cannot go back in again. This inaction from the Demon Armies made the cities, the travellers and merchants afraid. Even though they were not breaking any laws by staying on the very outskirts of those cities, there was no way for the city to survive without resources from other towns and merchant groups.

A city or two had reportedly attempted to break out with force but they had forgotten that who they were dealing with was the well known Demon Army who had ruthlessly slaughtered and pillaged towns. The only difference between the old and new management was that the current Demon Army knew restraint because they were twice as strong as they were before.

Fighting against the Church of the Afterlife repeatedly at the Money Tower as well as the Demon Rat Kingdom had given them more than sufficient experience to grow from their defeat. This made them less complacent than before and not to mention they were strengthened from fighting against Jin's customers.

With access to the System's features, the commanders had also gained a huge deal of experience in handling various commanding situations. After all, what most of the Demon commanders had been doing was honestly just using brute force to get what they wanted. It was only under the System's tutelage and wealth of knowledge that they realised there were other things that could influence the fights.

Thus, one such situation was what they had been coping with. The blockade was no easy feat for the Demons since it was quite a waste of their resources but at the same time, the commanders took this opportunity to learn more about the surrounding terrain as well as started to partake in improving the public infrastructure.

They managed to clear the current routes and rebuild them with proper roads. Bridges were also constructed as well as sturdy road supports so that railways could be added in the future too. This would no doubt help in the transportation issues that they had been dealing with while getting goods from Pandapolis to Demopolis. Although there were uses for planes and ships, the bulk of supplies would undoubtedly come from the railway system.

So once the resistance from those cities died out, the Dungeon City Lords practically left the area and passed the key to the Demon Commanders, asking for surrender. However, the Demon Commanders did not take it as per Rex's command. He felt that subjugation via force would always produce the very same results. Therefore, he made a deal with those Dungeon City Lords and made sure that their citizens could be relocated back to those cities he 'purchased'. .com

"Obviously, those cities would not be very happy at the start but considering how the Demon Army did not terrorise them and allowed them to leave, such rumours spread. By the time Rex wished to take the last seventh city, the Dungeon Lord merely came out and requested the contract." Kiyu laughed, stating how stupid Rex's way of dealing with the cities was.

But Jin did not underestimate Rex's decision. By patiently waiting, they could not only deal with the infrastructure but also see the situation from afar, seeing how the cities react. Obtain information about the situation in those cities before letting the people leave without any subjugation.

That way, it was much easier to understand what those cities he wished to wipe their names away had been running while allowing the Seven Cities to relocate with ease.

"So anyways, Yea. The Seven Cities had already relocated and buildings were made post haste with the aid of the citizens as well as the Demon Army. All those high rise buildings that were not feasible in their era had become a civil engineering marvel." Kiyu commented and explained that whatever she said had been summed up roughly for Jin.

"Also, may I ask. Why the heck there are so many of these erm Mechanoids? Are they producing these as we speak, since it seems like there's no end to it?" Kiyu complained as she pointed at them.

"I too felt their numbers were not justified. Someone at the top must be really spending their money like crazy to do all of these."

"I am not exactly complaining since it was fun at first but right now, it's getting a chore. Especially when you leave this room, I am stuck doing this."

"It's not like I can release you out of the Dungeon Instance. I still do not exactly get why the Synthesis Administrations are making such a big fuss about the data. If we can clear this quickly, we could do other stuff."

"The System would not allow such exceptions since there's a mutual understanding between the Synthesis Administration and us. If Kiyu were to break the rules, it would only fire back on the System in future negotiations."

"Then let me go back already. This is really boring..." Kiyu complained and the System finally gave in, stating that it would allow her to return after defeating another ten more groups since the System needed to recalibrate the dungeon instance on the fly.

"Alright, thank you Kiyu."

"You sure you do not want to stay for a few more rounds and chat?" Kiyu was obviously bored like Kraft.

"I can give you a summary of it, maybe you can give some pointers."

"You made me sound old," Kiyu grumbled but Jin could not give a quiet smile, knowing that was a sensitive topic to touch on. Thus, he returned the favour and gave her his story before moving to the next room.
