Chapter 1314: 2nd Wave of Trains

Even though Jin was confident that the East and West regions were under control by his minions, he was more worried about the Northern Region. The news of the ambush to the Northern Capital would have already reached the towns and camps that were dominated by the Demon Rats and they were rushing to form a counteroffensive against the humans. 

Yet, Jin was not going to allow them to do what they liked. The second wave of Pandarens who had gone aboard the trains was transported to these towns as a retaliatory force to prevent the Demon Rats from gathering from various camps and striking the main Pandaren army from the back. The trains also served as a rescue platform for those humans who were helpless against the control of the Demon Rats ruling their town. 

However, instead of being shocked by the steel carriages emerging from nowhere at the centre of their towns, spies and trained messengers employed by the Southern Stars Organisation had already informed the humans living in those occupied territories in the strictest manner possible. They too had used the System’s contracts during the information trading to ensure that no Demon Rats sympathisers were to leak those plans out.

Also before the trains arrived at their said destination, the cultivators had also been briefed of their mission to escort the humans into the carriages while stopping the Demon Rat soldiers from amassing. But to their surprise, those humans who were escaping were somewhat capable of taking care of themselves too. Armed with World War 2 standard issue rifles, a few of them assisted in the escort of the vulnerable into the trains.

They were none other than the Southern Stars agents that had stayed to make sure that their mission objectives were protected after performing their initial mission of relaying the information. These Southern Stars agents honestly never thought that this rescue mission would ever happen considering how guarded the Demon Rats were. But now that they saw the reinforcements of these masked soldiers annihilating the Demon Rats so easily, the Southern Stars agents believed this was the turnaround that they had been waiting for.

So as they fought fiercely to protect the rest of the innocent citizens, the Pandarens tried their best to push the Demon Rats away from the train when they saw that they were taking their prisoners away, loading them into those steel cabins. Instead of reorganising to travel towards the capital, the Demon Rats now took offence of the masked soldiers that attacked them from nowhere and decided to fend them off from their territory. 

This presented a serious bout of confusion to their main headquarters in the Northern Capital as the towns were asking for reinforcements to combat the threat they encountered. But as more of the towns reported back, the main headquarters knew that this was the major offensive that the Demon Rats had never expected. 

Sure, they had skirmishes against the humans near the outskirts of the Town Wecha but other than that, the humans did not move off their fortified town any more than necessary. They only did it when the Rats organised a small raiding party to test their defences and hopefully wear them out through the consistent attacks.

Both their military council and masters had believed that this was more than sufficient to keep them occupied after the major fight where they used the Northern Capital’s castle as their object of war against the humans. Yet these coordinated manoeuvres were way too accurate that the main headquarters was caught off guard since they were preparing their main armies to fight against the East and West. 

Then again, when they received reports that the East and West digs had been interrupted by volleys of artillery blasts, the Demon Rat Generals could only believe there was a mole in their midsts. A human sympathiser which was unheard of in their army when they all had been fed and clothed well.

“Unless… It’s one of our masters that sold us off.” One of the Demon Rat Generals spoke out of buried anger that their plans were being shot down one by one from the counterattacks.

“How dare you said that about our masters?!” 

“But aren’t they humans? Perhaps they are scared that we become too powerful for them to control!” 

“We should take this chance to annihilate them.”

All these whispers of accusing the North and South Scholars suddenly started to get stronger and it made even the most staunch of supporters of their masters to have their resolve waver at the immense peer pressure. 

“Then, let’s not dally any longer and remove any human presence and take charge of the Demon Rat Army as how we should have done so a long time ago.” One of the Demon Rats General said and the rest readily agreed.

Unbeknownst to Jin and the System, the Demon Rats’ coup de teat might possibly be the tide turning for the best for them in the long run now that they had decided to go against their masters. But as of now, Jin continued to run his commands in his Dungeon Maker Console and ensure that the Great Demon Rat War could be suppressed as much as what the best outcomes the System had simulated previously. 

“Yawn. Where is our turn?” Kraft said as he was sitting right beside him and the league of Night Foxes were all standing behind him waiting for his orders to be given when he felt like it.

“As much as I like to send you to the East and West Digs where their main attacking army should be, it’s not the time right now. The Demon Rats had yet to show their true colours and seeing how they had once massively modified the Northern Capital Castle for their drilling, they might have some other crazy stuff that they are hiding especially when this is their main capital where all their supposed magic is to happen.” Jin said as he continued to prepare the third wave of trains to fight the hideouts and camps that served as the Demon Rat Outposts.

“Then just send a freaking nuclear missile right smack at the centre,” Kraft said as his mouth was wide open once more from yawning. 

“And lose hectares of fertile farming?” 

“Better than wasting time fighting with small fries,” Kraft replied and surprisingly told his Night Foxes to sit on the floor while standing by for his orders. 

It looked like he was not planning to go anywhere until he annoyed Jin enough for a proper deployment spot.
