Chapter 1369: Birth Mothers
When the portal appeared in front of them, the White Demon Rat Leader shouted for the rest to enter the magical gate. She also stayed behind to ensure that each and every of her survivors entered the portal and that was enough for Jin to see the difference between her White Demon Rats compared to the Black ones.
In terms of battle experience, Jin and his minions did not fight against the Demon Rats for long despite the months of longstanding skirmishes, the Dungeon Supplier had received reports that quite a lot of higher ranking Demon Rats would always be the ones to save their skins. So to see the White Demon Rat Leader doing the opposite, it could mean that they were able to listen to reason and perhaps negotiation between the rats might be a possibility.
Even though the Leader for the Rats of Ruins was killed the moment Milk entered the battlefield, the others were committed to making sure that their duty to recapture was fulfilled. Thus, they raged as their lives depended on it, removing all the Pandarens who tried to block their way to take back one White Demon Rat.
"Have you dim witted rats forgotten about this beauty right here?" Milk asked as she grabbed the Rat of Ruins who was nearest to a White Demon Rat that was trying her best to escape. The Demon Rat attempted to grab Milk so that he could trash her to the ground but her athletics was beyond god-like, allowing her to evade without much help and send the Rat of Ruin into its ruin.
Despite knowing that it might be fruitless to go up against Milk, the Rats thus slammed the ground, creating a smoke screen from the buildup of dust in order to move forward. But, it did not deter Milk a single bit as she could sense the bulky moments of the Demon Rats regardless of the smoke screen.
"Milk, withdraw. We have already provided enough help for the Pandarens. Any more interference and it would be in the streaming news again." Jin said via the System channel and also told the System to end the Wide Active Response Event (WARE) as soon as he entered the portal.
Milk felt that those Rats of Ruins deserved more beating but since her master had rewarded more than she could ever have thought, she listened to Jin with a tad of defiance. With her strength and ability, she stomped on the ground to not only remove the dusty smokescreen but also hinder the Rats of Ruin's passage back to the rumoured giant elevator.
With some magic infused into her stomp, a gigantic wall of rock emerged right from the ground, piercing some of the Rats of Ruins as it grew. However, because it was an indiscriminate magic attack, the Pandarens also got caught by it. Although she did try to warn them just a second beforehand, it was not enough for most of the cultivators to evade it completely. Xiong Da merely used his chi to create a barrier just to make sure that he blocked the magical attack.
He realised it was similar to his ground stomp attack but this was pure brute strength infused with high levels of magic that he could never imagine. The rock wall itself is enough to not just block the Rats of Ruins but also the subsequent Demon Rats who might decide to try to invade directly the Third Layer of the Inner Wall. If they wished to assault the Third Layer, they had to go around the rock wall, allowing the Pandarens to defend the walls some additional time between the usual intervals they had been experiencing.
"That was really unnecessary," Jin said via the System Channel when he saw Milk's byproduct of interference in the Dungeon Maker Instance.
"Bye Master~! Thanks for the bonus!" Milk totally ignored Jin's remark and went radio silent, hoping that her master would be preoccupied with the White Demon Rats.
The White Demon Rats did not know whether they went from one trap into the other but the Dungeon Maker was not exactly the most welcoming place one would arrive and the System had shut down each and every console screen so that the White Demon Rats would not have a glimpse of what they had.

But as the White Demon Rats were trying to get their bearings of the place, Jin merely walked towards the supposed leader and handed her a stack of papers. "I assume you all can read to a certain extent. Either sign the first one to state that you agree on behalf of your entire or have everyone sign each of those papers. Those who refuse to sign can leave this place and we will put you back where I found you. I will give you my word that my humans and teammates would not hurt you, but we would not save you if the Demon Rats caught up to you again." Jin said, giving them almost no choice in the matter.
The leader quietly picked up the papers and took a quick glance before diving into the details. Indeed, the only difference between the first page compared to the rest was that she was representing the White Demon Rats. She had no idea how they were anticipating this or if they already had surrender papers ready for any Demon Rats that were willing to rebel against the main race.
"You sure it's a good idea? We will be surrendering our rights." One of the White Demon Rats asked as she told everyone the current situation they were in.
"Then isn't it the same as those bastard Demon Rats? What's the point?" Another White Demon Rat filled with grudges said.
"They had written that they would provide us shelter and even ample food and didn't we unanimously agree to work for the humans if needed?" The leader reinforced their past promises and the White Demon Rats whispered among themselves.
"But they also stated that this…entity called the System will invade our brains? And we must be loyal to just one human. Isn't that absurd?"

"They had saved our lives, we should at least be thankful for that."
"I honestly do not want to go back to that hellhole. I rather take my chances with the Humans."
"Not my best choice, but I think that siding with the Humans also would be better than being tied with chains and working repeatedly for days." The White Demon Rats continued to chatter among themselves while it was pretty apparent that the leader was trying to get them to be optimistic with regard to the deadlock situation they were in.
Eventually, they agreed reluctantly as a whole and the leader signed the first page, giving the rest of the papers back to Jin. And with that signature, the System had the permission to invade their lives as they forfeited their rights to it. They felt a forceful ache across their heads simultaneously as a group mainly because the System was not giving their current enemies any compromises.
If they knew anything about the current Demon Rats that would provide an edge for the War, the System would take every single chance. It also took the opportunity to share some information about the current group with Jin, allowing him to know what this group of White Demon Rats were called-
Birth Mothers.
