Chapter 1529 The Night Hunt

The Night Hunt.
It sounded like just a sporting game where a hunter runs around to get his game for fun.
That was exactly how it went for Jin and Lynn and there was no other meaning to such an activity other than to hunt the enemies coming towards Mount Sunn. While doing so, Jin had also taken the effort to place down sensors within the piles of dirt, mud and metal scraps so that there was information coming for the rest of the defence team that was recuperating in Mount Sunn now that the attacks had ceased significantly in order for the enemies to use the cover of darkness to move closer.
The private corpo commanders did expect some form of resistance and were willing to forgo certain positions in order to engage with the enemy. They were hoping that such fights would be a distraction for them and the team defending Mount Sunn would let loose some attention in that certain areas, allowing the enemies to take advantage of it.
However, such an expectation was overturned when Jin and Lynn practically burst through their frontlines and incapacitated the entire lot of troops they were commanding. It seemed like they were being hindered by a sort of mysterious force but in actual fact, they were metal strings holding the War Maidens hostage. As much as they would struggle, those metal strings became even tighter and subsequently ate into their skin as if it was threatening them. "Make any more moves and you will die through the decapitation of the metal strings." That was literally what the strings meant as Jin and Lynn moved on to the next group.
As per their previous group, the tactics that the duo used were the same. Lynn first moved forward and distracted the entire group with a huge bang causing the Mechanoids to scatter in order to avoid any collateral damage from the initial attack. But such a dispersion gave Jin information on the group size and its numbers. With that, he used his Maqi to create a temporary string of metal to encase all of them in a particular area. The tactic worked once more as they continued to do so until the commanders in the rear command as desperate as they needed to be wary of the teleportation bomb, learn that there is another menace had been plaguing their troops.
In the meantime, Page had recharged sufficiently and so were the other Grey Bears as they now proceed to not just capture the Mechanoids that Jin had subdued but also turn them into their allies. With the limited information and time the Tactical System had, it was still able to work out certain kinks that will allow mass production of nanobots for Page to create within her body so that she could infect the troops that were imprisoned by Jin's temporary metal strings. (They were temporary mainly because they were created with Maqi and Jin's cultivation was still low, forcing the team to run against the clock before the skill expired.)
In addition, the Grey Bears were there as support in case Page needed more help in the production of the Nanobots as well as escorting the Mechanoids back to the Workshop so that Nie and his selected team of helpers (Which were converted from those War Maidens they captured) to ensure that the conversion of teams was successful.
Therefore, this night hunt was not just to delay and deter the enemy ranks but also to replenish their stocks. That was why Diaz and another select group of Mechanoids were tasked to salvage the rotten battlefield for any usable rifles, vests, accessories, supplies and other possible items they bring for war back to the workshop as it was only through the cover of darkness they were doing all of this.
This was especially crucial when they have no idea when the deed for Jin's lordship would be approved. It might emerge in a few minutes or it might be in a week. There was no guarantee when it will happen and this insecurity forced them to take some countermeasures by looting the available supplies that were left by the enemies.
As of Page's knowledge in the legal world of this particular virtual simulation, there was no military law when it comes to picking up supplies that did not belong to them or was looting an illegal way of life. Such examples were the rebels that Jin and the Grey Bear Squad had encountered even though they had been branded as terrorists when they learnt more about them.
So, Jin decided to take a textbook out of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Why make your own and create expenses when one can obtain it from the enemy themselves. It is free and of abundance especially with the battlefield that was happening right in front of them. And thus Jin decided to go one step further by attempting to get an armoured vehicle.
A tank would be useful as well but at the moment, the only vehicle on sight was an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). Those metal strings which he conjured would definitely not work on it and if he were to fry it with electricity, the circuits on board will go haywire and it would not be useful at all. Thus he decided to do it the simplest way.
Rush in through their backdoor and break the plate door if necessary and then paralyse the personnel inside of it. Sounded easy and it was surprising that easy. As Lynn went forth to break the door, Jin shone out a flash of light using his Maqi which acted like a flashbang less the sounds accompanying with it. (It actually looked weird since the APC windows were beaming with light and attracted quite a lot of attention for the moment) And at the same time, he threw an orb of metal strings into the APC interior, causing it to spread out like spiderwebs, holding them captives at their respective seats.
It was a successful raid for the APC vehicle, allowing them to obtain one without damaging it too much while Lynn and he eventually dash out of the area of incidence to pull the enemies' attention away from the APC. All of this was ongoing even with the sparse artillery shots throughout the night. All they hope was the APC could return safely back to base and that was a job for the rest of the Grey Bear Team who were restless to stay behind despite their orders to do so.
But regardless of the results, the night hunt continues.
