Chapter 1641 Defending Daimon -Part 30

"Operation Magical Sky is ready. Logistics had the planes ready to fly and the connection between flying turrets had been established." The Central Defence Officer reported to Jin.
"Excellent. What's the status of the Eastern Front, have they cleaned up the area?" Jin asked and the Eastern Front Officer was happy to report that the number of Forest Trolls was amounting to less than a hundred.
"Do not withdraw the troops that have already gone beyond this line." Jin pulled out a map and drew a line that would visibly separate the Assault Force into two groups.
"But Sir, don't you think that's overkill? The Assault Force commanders stated that with the knowledge that they had for the Forest Trolls, a 15% force would be enough to kill the rest of the Trolls and the rest could be redirected for the Western Front."
"I like to err on the side of caution. Besides, the frontal group had been charging and retreating like mad dogs. In my opinion, it would be best to give them a short rest. For the ones at the back, they can withdraw to take the trains and reinforce the Western Front." Jin said and the officer relayed his orders to the commanders, which later caused the Lead Commander of the Eastern Daimon Assault Force to speak to Jin.
"Interim Leader. I thank you for your consideration and we have already started moving the soldiers you assigned to withdraw. However, I would still like you to consider pulling back more troops otherwise, those troops would be idle and all they could do is watch the show and see how the people at the front kill those Forest Trolls as if it were some live streaming party." The Commander said and requested for better efficiency of the troop allocation.
"Sorry, Lead Commander. I apologised for not showing out my whole hand mainly due to the fact that they might be even more disgruntling after they had defeated a massive horde of enhanced Forest Trolls. Looks like my consideration for the Force seemed to be unwanting and a waste."
"It's true that your intentions were to let the soldiers and Mechanoids stock up but we are doing this because we are defending our city. If the city could be free from the monster hordes one minute less, and it also means we are one minute faster to freedom." The Lead Commander stated.
"But unlike the Forest Trolls, the Metal Ogres are a formidable force. While I am sure that you heard some updates from the Western Front, they did not give you the full picture as they are not seeing from the top." Jin said as he started to pull images and send them to the Lead Commander of the Eastern Front.
"General Ost, this is the situation that the Western Front is facing. Look at the Metal Ogres that had been dispatched and look at the Metal Ogres that had been amassing. The movement is not the same as the Forest Trolls who were only going in for the kill." Jin said as he showed pictures that had been taken by the helicarrier who happened to pass by the area when they were to assault the Monster Lure.
"They were actually building a defensive shield and what seems the height of the monster lure pillar. But we were lucky to be ahead of their timeline and managed to go in fast and destroy that pillar, reducing the chances of the Metal Ogres coming out. But the rate of the Metal Ogres emerging from the dungeon entrance was not the same rate as the Forest Trolls. In fact, they were faster." Jin stated.
"The drone managed to take a few pictures here and here, if we magnify and enhance it, this will show that the Metal Ogres we are dealing with are not just monsters, but sentient ones," Jin replied as he gave the imagery of the Metal Ogres building something within the forest which could not be seen properly. They were sacrificing their own Metal pieces on their body just to create those items."
"We had sent in a few guided missiles and bunker busters to destroy those Metal Ogres who seem to be creating something after the Western Front Lead Commander did not wish to speak when he realised that I had arrested the entire military council for insubordination."
"You …What?" General Ost was surprised by the news and also realised that he definitely could not get the news until now.
"Yes, So I am the only one in charge at the moment and if you think I rule by terror, all of the officers within this command war room were willing to follow my every order."
"Isn't already that tyranny?" General Ost sighed as he also knew how stubborn and useless the military council filled with old men was. Unfortunately, he also knows that the Lead Commander for the Western Front is a sucker for those military council members, mainly due to the fact that he wants to be sitting there too. It was possible that those old men gave him the position of the Lead Commander to prove himself worthy to go up the military council.
But now that all his sponsors had disappeared, General Ost wondered if the Western Front would be alright. Obviously, their Lead Commander would be in a dilemma. Whether he should follow Jin's orders to protect the city and subsequently fulfill his duty or defy him so that when the old men got back in power, he could have a say against the Interim Leader.
Yet, at the same time, if he were to fail for not listening orders, there were chances for him to be court marital with the same stage as the old men who no doubt had done something despicable to force the Interim Leader to throw everyone into jail. "If the old men were innocent, then he got nothing to fear…" General Ost said to himself before returning to the conversation.
"So? What did you find?" The General asked as he saw his troops now toying with the last few Forest Trolls and even attempting to capture them for research purposes.
