Chapter 1623 Defending Daimon -Part 12

"Commander, the Grey Bear Squad is reporting for duty," Yinn said through the System Consoles. "Where do you need us to be deployed?"

"To what extent are you willing to sacrifice your lives?" Jin took a breather from the current command to pick up Yinn's call.

"As per your commands." Yinn said until there was a resounding 'no' through every other Mechanoids including Tellie though Click and Diaz were the loudest.

"Jin, stop teasing your Mechanoid leader already. Just get to the point." Lynn talked after the rest of the Grey Bear Squad calmed down.

"What do you think of the current battle scenario that we are experiencing?" Jin asked the rest as an internal sharing of the military headquarters' information was being shared among the group. It was no doubt illegal to leak such sensitive stuff since people might speculate and even cause panic due to the rumours but hey, they cannot detect it if it's through the System.

"The cleanup of the Forest Trolls seems to be progressing apace, there are splinter groups of Forest Trolls leaving from the main group and I think they are trying to distract the main attacking force to split their forces as well."

"You want us to attack those splinter groups?"

"No, no need. The Assault Force and my outsiders will chase after them. They are competent enough to do so."? Jin said and the System already picked up the hint to send a search and destroy quest to the Pandawans. Naturally, the Pandawans did not hesitate to take the quest since it provided them with simulation coins.

However, because of the current situation where they were experiencing battle high while leading the tip of the vanguard, it was impossible for them to suddenly say 'Hey, I just received a quest and I got to get going, good luck dudes and dudettes' So, they had no chance but to keep on course and hopefully, the secondary optional quest that popped out would be able to complete later.

"Then the only problem would be the arrival of the Metal Ogres. There is no way to get close though, the Western Front had already been littered with mines and anti tank emplacements so that when the Metal Ogres reached a certain threshold line, their first defensive line would take over the artillery's call of thunder." Click reviewed the images and also knew some stuff because she as a Mechanoid engineer had been briefed for the fortification plans by the Western Daimon Defence Forces.

"Going the South route would be a bit stupid too since the outsiders are handling that portion… So, we go North and flank them?" Page asked and Diaz laughed.

"What 5 against the number of hands and toes that I have x10000?" Diaz said and she was not wrong to think that way. Sending a platoon of Pandawans right smack in the centre of the Forest Troll's rank and file was insane but Jin knew that they could hold until the Eastern Daimon Assault Force came in. However, he can say the same if he were to bring 5 specialised groups of Mechanoids to assault the North themselves.

"Wait, please don't tell me that your sacrifice had to do with us fighting groups of Metal Ogres ourselves? Are we really going to the North and subsequently heading for the West to do so?"

"Well…" Before Jin could continue, there was shouting from the command area indicating that 200 troops from Archduke Dyke's personal army, Dyke's Pikes had reached Daimon by a massive helicarrier.

"Give them clearance to enter and also ask if they are willing to loan us the helicarrier for one ride before leaving," Jin said and quickly returned to the Grey Bear Squad's communication channel. "Looks like I have no time to give you any other guessing chances. You will have your surprise by going for the helicarrier that the rest of Dyke's Pike came from."

"Yes Commander, but please give us a short briefing on what to expect." Yinn did not want to leave without knowing the operation details. She would honestly want Jin to say it from his mouth rather than getting it from the System.

"The Metal Ogres are still coming out from the dungeon entrance like some production line from a monster factory. But one thing is for sure at the moment. The helicarrier is sturdy enough to take some hits from the Metal Ogres even if they threw javelins and other assortment of weapons."

"I assume Tellie is the main character this time around?" Diaz said and Jin gave a quick acknowledgement.

"However, everyone is going. Should the Helicarrier go down due to some freak incident, you need contingency plans. Click, go pick up resources for your Mechamancing tricks. Get a flying bird or something that could at least bring you guys out of harm's way if the helicarrier goes down.

"Yes sir!" Click said and got off the communication channel.

"Diaz, your job is to prevent those javelins from hitting the helicarrier so bring more ammunition with you to knock them down." Before Jin could expect an answer from Diaz, she already logged off from the channel while shouting a yes that he could hear from the rest in the channel.

"Lynn. You and Yinn go get some explosive oil barrels and use them during your descent to cover your helicarrier."

"Wouldn't a large smokescreen be more appropriate?" Lynn asked and Jin told them they could bring extra as precautionary measures.

"Tellie. Denise had ordered the release of a restricted class energy rifle. It should help you regulate your powers since it comes with an external cooler. It also helps to increase your shots too in case you miss."

"I will not miss. We need this win to let Daimon City survive."

"Thank you and Page? Make sure they are back with at least one piece." Jin ordered and Page acknowledged the order.

"I will do my best to make sure they are back in one piece."
