Chapter 1813 Just Crown Me Already -Part 6 (Final)
"What kind of benefits?"
"Something like putting more dungeons in your nation, a new gold mine, or everyone has to pay 5% more tax and nobody can complain. That's a bit far fetch but you get the point. Essentially, you are wishing for a reset and a benefit to the country. I don't think that's bad for you."
"Then why won't people ask for Armageddon whenever they have the chance to do so?"
"Because it's not easy to get an audience with the Almighty, and even if you did, do people really think of Armageddon as their first priority? Most people would want things like get me to be rich! Give me the ultimate group of females with whom I can wine, dine, and have sex with all day long! Those kinds of stuff. People won't ask for it, give me Armageddon and bless this country with more dungeons!" Archduke Dyke said and it does make sense if Jin thought about it that way.
"The only reason why you are thinking of Armageddon is to get back home. But I as your regent can put it in such a way that you are doing it to get more perks for your nation. It's a win win kind of situation where people will continue to revel you as the Divine King." Archduke Dyke said and Jin rolled his eyes.
"Gosh, at this rate I do not wish to return to this place anytime soon."
"Come on, at least return when there's a crisis or something. That way being the Divine King would make it even more so unique and symbolic to the Empire."
"Heh. You make things sound like the nations would all be vying for the Empire anytime soon." Jin said and Archduke Dyke shrugged his shoulders. "At the very least when they saw you and your special act, they would not be doing anything dangerous for now. In fact, you might be revealed as by many of the religious believers." Archduke Dyke replied and Yinn interrupted them stating that they had arrived. "Alright, all the best now. Thank you for fighting for the Empire." Dyke raised his hands out and Jin shook it firmly.
When Jin came out of the vehicle, he too removed that crown on his head as he looked at the statue that was right above him. It was merely a person holding onto a stone tablet but the only difference was that its face had been weathered away by the conditions in Bearling Mountains.
"Good luck, Jin. All the best to you too, Lynn. Hope to see you again." Yinn said as she now passed the small USB device. The rest did the same as well and gave each other a hug. (To be honest, Jin was a little jealous of such a sisterly scene. The System did recommend that he could do the same with Archduke Dyke and that kind of spoilt the mood for him already.)
"Alright, we will get going now," Jin said and the rest of the Grey Bear Squad stood in attention and saluted him.
"Thank you, Commander, because of you. We had been through so much more and experienced what we never thought we could do." Yinn said and the rest nodded their head in unison and stood ever proud that their Commander was Jin.
In return, the King returned his salute as well to the best of his abilities and turned away to walk with Lynn towards the stone tablet. The Grey Bear Squad did not let go of their salute until a small portal opened in front of Jin and Lynn and they walked into it."
"Guess that's it, huh?" Diaz said as the portal closed right in front of them.
"Alright, Grey Bear Squad. As your commander dictates it, you will be the first batch of Mechanoids who have the privilege of commanding other Mechanoids. Each of you will have your own squads and all of you only report to me and no one else. The Regent. Though in technical terms, you report only to the King and I can only ask for your services." Dyke said to the group who was now without a commander.
"Don't worry about the small details. If you do anything bad, Jin would definitely know about it. Since that sneaky System will keep a tab on us." Click said and the rest laughed.
"That is true too." Dyke nodded his head.
"But truly, a squad of our own?" Tellie asked and Dyke nodded his head.
"Yes, Jin had given the green light since he is now King. You will be working with Denise to get your own Customised Squads though if Master Flammet ever wishes to intervene, that would be under his own initiative. Otherwise, Denise will provide you with the essentials."
"Does that mean we go on our own missions or do you have already something lined up for us?"
"I do. The destruction of the Mecha Dragons had yet to be completed and Rocketeers aren't exactly being very honest with us considering the number of 2nd Tier Mecha Dragons you all had fought. Most if not all of you would be dispatched to various cities to find and locate the leftover Mecha Dragons and ensure they are either destroyed or dismantled."
"That sounds like a lot of work. But Jin probably will make us go by ourselves right now instead of putting up squads." Click said and the rest agreed.
"The other Mechanoids are there to provide assistance and support. You all are probably the only few who can go toe to toe with 2nd Tier Mecha Dragons. However, do not hesitate to call for backup if you find a situation that might need more manpower. Remember you all are not King Jin." The Dyke reminded and the rest saluted him.
"Good response. The King had indeed trained all of you well. Alright, let's return for now. By evening, the event will start and if Jin really does make it happen, we need to make sure everything else is in order. Otherwise, we have to prepare for Armageddon."
"Yes, Sir!"
