And when one least expected him, the Devil Fox himself came into the picture which surprised Elder Bai and Captain Hei who could not even feel his presence at all. It wasn’t until he placed his hand beside Jin’s shoulders, acting all buddy with him, that they were finally able to sense Kraft out.

"Let’s have a talk before we do anything rash, shall we?" Kraft said and Jin knew that the Royal Advisor might have a plan (or hoped that he did have a plan).

"I understand. Rifle Mages and Commando Mages return to Ress but leave a platoon in the village to aid them. Bring in at least a week’s worth of basic military supplies first. Inform General Gara that there is a drastic change of plans and bring Rifle Mage Recruits to do the manual work and perform their training here.

Tell Minister En Moy to carry on our current plans of what we need to do for the Royal Ress Fields. He should know what to do." He said to the Rifle Mages Leads as well as CM-4 and CM-8.

They all acknowledge and start moving out while Kraft merely waves his hand to signal the Star Foxes to stay on standby as they enter the guest house with Elder Bai and Captain Hei despite the latter being swarmed with work.

"So, what’s the plan?" Jin asked as there was no need for pleasantries when they sat around the table as a Pandarian Servant came to pour them some tea. To Jin’s surprise, there was a bamboo flower on the side of the drink as decoration, making him understand that bamboo was significant to them.

"The Star Foxes. They aren’t just a bunch of soldiers that know how to use the Rifle. You already saw what they could do with the bullets but there is more to it. They are mages with significant strength and I had developed each and every one of them to their highest potential. I will not say the max as they could continue growing."

"So, what’s your point? It is rare for you to beat around the bush." Jin commented and Kraft nodded his head.

"Send them out independently to deal with the bulk of the Dune Shell Orcs and give them free reign of their powers. That way, it’s outside of the village grounds and they can rampage all they like as well."

"Then do you think it’s okay to let them go in and suicide?" Jin asked as he knew that Kraft did not care whether they survived or not. To him, they were prisoners who were given a pardon by Jin for a second chance and if they died like dogs, it was none of his business. In fact, he honestly did not care whether the Star Foxes, the Commando Mages, or the Rifle Mages were able to survive or not.

All he cared about was that results were produced. It was only Jin who wanted to make sure that they were able to live through it. After all, the human capital was considered limited and it takes time to get them up and running.

That was also why they were attempting to squeeze as much training time as possible for new recruits and also ensure they had some combat experience before entering the force.

"Yea, I do not care whether they die or not. Unlike our original system, there is no sense to keep them if they are not able to survive from this. Because now that I see you are able to connect to dungeon portals with sentient beings, we are able to recruit more people to our cause without too much trouble." Kraft then leaned in and stared at the other two Pandarians.

"Not to mention, we can enslave them to do our bidding if there was a need to. After all, we are all doing this to survive the ultimatum in our world, in our kingdom. Nothing else matters. The process should not matter, it’s the results that do. However, for this round, I will give way mainly because I know you have a soft spot for Pandas." Kraft was blunt in his words.

"What is this ultimatum you are talking about?" Elder Bai questioned and Jin told them truthfully that Demons were not the only thing that plagued them but there was a prophecy that Celestials (or angels) would come to annihilate their entire world.

"It should be a response to the overpopulation of Demons in the area. And if my theory is not wrong, they would be coming here as well even if you are able to repel the demons away from your village with the aid of your Bamboo God." Jin was using the experience of Half Ghoul Lord Derek as an example.

While he did not check the rest of the worlds that were out there, he believed that the Celestials would have done some sort of purging to the rest of the universe out there as well. That was why he assumed that they were going to do the same to this universe too should the prophecy come true.

"Do you mean our struggle to keep the Bamboo God away from the hands of evil would be useless?" Elder Bai asked and Jin slowly nodded his head.

"That is our conjecture and whether you believe us or not is another set of problems itself."

"We are missing the point. Jin, are you going to let the Star Foxes rampage to their hearts’ content or are we going to abandon the Pandarians?"

"You are the one that’s missing the point. If what they say is true, this place will ultimately be overrun by the Demons and we will have a dungeon outbreak to contend with." Jin then laid back as he drank his tea. ṙÄΝŏВЁ𐌔

"But there is no such thing as an impossible dungeon especially when the rank of the dungeon should be only EX considering how the Locust Orcs were A – S ranks," Jin remarked and Kraft shook his head as since he genuinely did not understand what he meant.

"What I meant is that considering how things are moving, the key might not be us saving them but they save us. Their God. The Bamboo God." Jin pointed at the Bamboo Flower beside his tea cup as it shimmered a little when he spoke of its name while pointing to it.
