"I am not going to have another city under my control. There are too many things on my plate to take note of. Even if I can give one to the competent minions, that would also mean I have one more minion on administrative duties. Until we have the System with sufficient processing abilities capable of handling the cities, I suggest we stop taking any more cities in." Jin sighed as he knew that he could not control the old fox misbehaving again.
"I know. So, all I am going to do is to raid them big time. A tit for tat for the shit they throw at us." Kraft said as he immediately raised his hand, summoning out his tablet and stylus pen started to look at the Dungeon World's map to check which city was worthy of an attack.
"Who are you going to use? Most of the minions are preoccupied with their own stuff. The Goblin and Orcs are aiding with the repairs for the Southern City since a bulk of the Southerners are training in the 'distant islands' to get ready for the fight against the Farming World. Can we really afford an attack right now?"
"My boy. We have the resources to take over your world if needed and also as long as we have booze and money, we will have soldiers to call upon." Kraft said and Jin shook his head vigorously.
"Of course! We have the resources to probably take over the world! And let's bring out all of the crazy minions to play! Allow every Original Bellators to rampage! Let the entire world burn around us!" Jin exclaimed and Kraft clapped his hands with joy even though he knew that Jin was being sarcastic.
"No seriously, what is your plan to attack a major city if you really want to." Jin decided to entertain the Old Fox so that he could be worry free. (Although Jin felt that he was merely playing into his hand once again.)
"We got the Aljun City's mothership, the System and our research team had been analysing it. Even Rei said that we could use their schematics to create our very own air planes." Kraft said and Jin looked confused.
"Don't we already have air planes of our own? Those C-130s Artillery and such." Jin asked and Kraft snickered while shaking his hand.
"No no no my little panda. I am looking at planes that are similar to the Flying Fortress we stole from Aljun City. The science fiction- fantasy kind of airships. You know? Those WarHammah kinds of space ships?" Kraft said as he showed a picture to let Jin familiarise himself with the concept.
"THOSE AREN'T AIRSHIPS OR AIRPLANES! THOSE ARE BATTLE FLEETS!" Jin shouted with dread, confusion mixed with excitement while also feeling faint. He could not believe Kraft could even think of this up.
"I also stole a few schematics so that we can modify and build our own mother ships without the burden of reverse engineering it. We will then show this world what is meant to be called the flying fortress." Kraft remembered how he enjoyed being the fake auditor of the base and everyone literally bowed to him because of his astute criticisms and praises. (Without a doubt, he stole quite a lot of secrets without them knowing.)
"Do we need such a motherlode of a crystal to get it done?" Jin questioned since he remembered reading how the Flying Fortress of Aljun City had a giant ȧss crystal to power everything.
"What are you talking about. We have Lost Tech experts in our midsts and they always wanted to use one particular item, the Lost Tech engines. It's basically like a nuclear reactor that powers on up with magic….and erm your sludge from what I last heard."
"Huh…?" Jin was taken aback for a moment and Kraft had to say what he mumbled once more.
"Yes! YOUR SLUDGE! YOUR SLUDGE! We need your sludge to power it up. Somehow it is the substituted ignition factor they had been missing for all this time!" Kraft said and Jin understood why the old fox bothered to take his time to explain everything to him when he would usually leave when the time was right.
"I see. So I am guessing that you have enough sludge for now given the current supply within System but if things go well, you will need more of my sludge to get the whole operation to run?"
"I am not taking a no. With just one flying battleship, all I need is the Demon Army from Demopolis to operate it and voila."
"Why…don't you just take Stalingrad- erm I mean Lord Wolte with you? Isn't that much simpler? Last I recalled, he now has the ability to hover over the sea and dive into it too."
"Well, that's my backup plan if you continued planning to be an ȧss with me and discordant enough to not provide me the sludge after we fought," Kraft grumbled and Jin could see that he was a sucker at apologising and making up despite the age he now is. "And I do not want to owe him anything, I much preferred to have my own battle fleet under my own name."
"You just want to be a captain of your own… How greedy can you be."
"Says the person who wants to take over the world with virtual reality dimensional instance."
"That is -urgh never mind. Fine, I guess I can provide some provided that you follow my conditions. Else, I am telling the System to confiscate the rest of the sludge production." Jin decided to compromise and use this opportunity to patch up with the Old Fox.
"What conditions?"
"Hit the largest resource hub they ever have and hit hard. Take every possible resource and soldier you can find. Now that we released the seven city armies, we have to prepare for the worst should the bulk of them decided not to return to us. Thus, we need to be aggressive with our solution as much as I hate this idea. But since they are our enemy, this will also reduce their chance to counterattack when we steal soldiers away. But leave the civilians alone if possible."
"Do not worry User, the Dungeon World had always had a rule that the civilians were to be teleported away from the city fȯrċɨbŀƴ by their dungeon core unless they wished to fight." The System said and Jin looked at Kraft with him trying to control his smile.
"But you know we do need manpower if we were to fight with the Farming World. A city worth of defence forces isn't cut out for it. Maybe if we add the civilians, they could do the support that we need to..." Kraft tried to hint at Jin that he could do something about that particular rule the System had spoken and Jin stared at him for a moment.
"Nope. My conditions are absolute. Resources and combat manpower. You take the citizens, and that would be an excuse of war which the Church of the Afterlife would go after us forever." Jin was strict in his request and Kraft decided to take up the offer.
After all, the conditions were more than enough for him to rampage.
