Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Century long crusade, are you fucking kidding me?" Jin could not believe it at all as he did not know how the situation had devolved to such lengths. And Rex had no reason to exaggerate. After which, he took a minute to sit back for a moment to absorb that fact.

Rex then used his magic along with the help of the System to pull out a holographic map of the Dungeon World. This time, the barrier that was surrounding them got even darker so as not to be surprised by any people, especially the agents who were coming through. It might not make sense to them but they should not give any reason for them to suspect that they were plotting things.

Rex showed the land that Pandapolis and the future cities once they had merged together. "This is the possible and also expected routes that the Churchies might take to attack us. From what we have seen, they are spreading lies that this religion that we are having is a hoax and people should not believe in us."

"The Holy City of After Life, Before Life, Coming Life, and During Life are gathering troops based on our scout reports. The Night Foxes stationed in the area had seen a surge in activities and they were actively recruiting soldiers."

"Lol, the names. They are really not a religion but more of a conglomerate using so many Life in the cities. Oh wait. They are in alphabetical order. AL, BL, CL, and DL." Jin spoke out loud and at the same time read the quick summary reports that the Night Fox scouts had given. "Are you very sure that they are planning an attack on us?"

"I am afraid that I do not have positive evidence to show that they are going to attack us but one of the Night Foxes heard that this phase." Rex pressed on the holographic report that was floating right in front of them and it was an extract from the soldiers that were assembling. "Looks like we are doing some demon culling."

"Listen to this as well." Rex paused it and played another. "Lol, did you hear? That a city is playing up some new religion?

Orders are already coming in to crush them before their religion took hold." "Hahahah, they must be a bunch of idiots who have never seen the wrath of the Afterlife to even think of trying a new religion." Rex stopped the recording and allowed Jin to consider that based on such a small extract of information, the possibility was extremely high that they were going to attack the Pandapolis and the rest.

"Not to mention, there were plans to attack us again based on the Seven Cities' Army return and before they performed their mutiny. We believed they are indeed sour because of the defeat they suffered."

"No wonder you say it's a century long crusade. If their method of survival for their religion was based on annihilating the others, they would not stop until we are crushed completely." Jin said and knew this was going to be a messy war.

"The only good thing is that we have the modern technology to hold siege. And we have the power of the multiverse to keep the people afloat with resources. We do not need to worry about the besiegement and their regular tactics would not work considering we have modern war equipment at our behest."

"At the same time, they have the power of reincarnation in their hands. Sure, it will cost some money but considering how they inflated their prices to reincarnate, I am very certain that it is a small price to pay.

"To be honest, we can also loot their equipment and this will increase the amount they have to spend." Rex tries to reason that the one who is losing is them, not Jin.

"Yea, right. we are the ones wasting all the firepower against them. Unless we are throwing bodies at them too using the same sword and sorcery… Unless we did the same thing by raid their city core. Just like how we did it for Demopolis."

"I do not think it's the same. From what I know, their core is protected the same way as the Money Tower," Rex deduced and suddenly Kraft popped his head into the barrier. He was probably the only person who was able to slip through Rex's barrier easily and gave them a heads up.

"If you ask me. It is useless to attack the cities. I have a great suspicion that the cores are all hidden in the Money Tower. Otherwise, there is no way the Money Tower is able to throw at us so much funds when we were merely raiding them for fun."

"I thought you did a serious raid against them?" Jin asked and also queried whether he wished to join the conversation. Yet, he was ignored by the Devil Fox.

"We did perform a serious raid…well rather serious one with all the Night Foxes going all out. It seems they have their own version of Gunndams and epic monsters within their halls. If I am not wrong, they even have the Shaitans of their own. Although, I still think ours are the original stuff."

"The most we went through was Level 4. After that, there were armies upon armies stopping us in our tracks along with the statue heroes that turned alive to fight us. along with their version of Gunndams blasting us. Of course, I can summon a meteor or something but that would be too boring, isn't it? Though, I really did let the Night Foxes go all out."

"I dare say that if you ever throw the entire Pandapolis and Demopolis Army to the money tower, their marching to our cities would be rerouted to the Money Tower instead. If that really happened, it means our theory is correct and the City Cores for the Church of the Afterlife is in there.

Otherwise, there is no way they are packing this much power in the Money Tower and yet they are going dishing out pathetic foot soldiers towards our cities." Kraft said and this gave Rex a pause for thought.

"What do you think if all the Nine Foxes went? I assumed it was overkill for Spartakus but it looked like we underestimated it due to the use of Void Energy. But that is not the case for the Money Tower, right?"

"I dare say that even with all Nine Foxes combined, we might still struggle considering that it's not just the power of four city cores that is energising the Money Tower. I will safely bet that almost every single city they control has its cores in the Money Tower. The last I remember, the Seven Cities' cores are not fully in their control, correct?" Kraft questioned Rex and he nodded his head.

"Indeed. We were only able to have half the control despite the major success of the mutiny. And because of that, the core control had to be overwritten. The army literally spent their whatever they had in the treasuries and whatever resources they had in hand to get full control of the dungeon core… So, we assumed that the core was demanding…"

"But instead, I can theorise that the Money Tower is where the other half of the core is. In return for full control of the core, tribute had been paid for the core to be returned as a whole.

That was why the Church was not extremely angry nor did they retaliate almost immediately when they found out the Seven Cities is not in their possession." Kraft shrugged his shoulders at the end, thinking that this was the only thing that could fulfill his reasoning.

"Still, there is a possibility that the soldiers would not be rerouted. Because as you said, they are foot soldiers.

And given the distance between Money Tower and Pandapolis along with the entire coalition, there is no way the soldiers would be so stupid to reroute… Unless we gone in so deep that they are desperate to keep things alive." Jin rebutted and they could only see a nod at such a possibility.

"How many levels are there?" Rex asked but Kraft for real, shrugged his shoulders.

"Could be ten, could be hundreds. If our theory is true, they will be trying their best to hide the cores to the best of their abilities. However, the dungeon world is a fair place. Given the trials, they will provide an adequate amount of reward as well. Should we really reach the top. We will not only earn back our money's worth but also get a shit ton of cities under our care.

At that time, the System would probably complain to tell us to get our shit together for handling a nation."

"The System would not do such despicable actions." The System rebutted and they all laughed before focusing on the main issue.

"Let's plan for the massive attack but do this long term. If they want a century long crusade, then we shall accompany them with that until we get our shit together. Besides, most of our minions are hungry and itching for a fight right now." Jin concluded.
