Chapter 1680 Who Will Know? -Part 2

With much rumblings from the other three, Jin decided to stop them and asked. "So, let us put all those conspiracy theories aside. Are we going to help them or not?"

"I see no merit to act early. You said that you are going to arm your Grey Bears Squad. And I think that's already the best action to take." General Ost replied.

"Yes, should the Empire Dragon invade the city centre, Grey Bear's involvement would be the most ideal as they are not under Daimon's authority but acting as Diamondz's. Even if they failed or succeeded, Eggshells would have the contribution that he wanted for the Corpo." General Grieves added.

"The most I can do is put some fighter jets on an hourly standby so that they can sortie out whenever we need them." General Ost remarked.

"As much as I want to provide some air support, most of it had already been destroyed in the battle at Mount Sunn. We got a few helicopters that can provide some support and that's it." Commander Eggshells said and Jin sighed.

This was what Jin had expected and that was why Jin had said something that had disappointed Lynn. As much as he wants to help Lynn and the other Grey Bears to prevent a catastrophic disaster from happening at Parry City, Daimon cannot do anything unless Parry City has suffered damage.

"Unless I take this matter into my own hands," Jin said to himself and the other three looked at him as if he was mad.

"…Interim Leader, what do you want to do?" General Ost asked and he felt a palpitation that he had never felt for the longest time. He was honestly hoping that his leader was not a crazy fellow.

"Does the Interim Leader wish to combat the Empire's Mechanical Dragon yourself?" Commander Eggshell who was the only daring person among the three of them asked him the question directly.

"Do you think I can beat it?" Jin asked them for their honest opinion and they thought long and hard.

"I personally saw your fighting abilities and it can also be seen that you are not going all out. But if you were to fight against the Empire's Mechanical Dragon, there might be a minuscule chance that you can win." Grieves said.

"Hahaha, Grieves. You did not see what Leader Jin did on the Eastern Front. It was beyond comprehension. If he can manifest that plus add to how he fought at the Western Front, I think we can stand a decent chance."

"The time limit is 15 minutes so we need to give everything we got if it happens," Jin said and the rest understood where he was coming from. (And he also kind of cursed Syn for limiting his dungeon instance 'creation' powers)

"Still, from the political point of view, it's best that you wait for the Empire Dragon to at least attack the city then we can act." Commander Eggshells recommended. "If we were to go in and interfere with Parry City, the best case scenario is a heartful thanks and the worst case scenario would be international scrutiny."

"If that's the case. Why don't we make it extremely obvious to them?"? Jin queried and we could identify whether the Empire Dragon is a foe to them or a foe to us.

"What do you mean?" Commander Grieves asked and Jin tried to explain.

"If the Empire Dragon is something they wished to hide, they would need to commit resources to keep this a hush hush. We can exploit the video we found and ask for an explanation. However, that will backfire on us in terms of media coverage because of our recent release of Crystal Dragon. They might spin in a way that the Empire Dragon might have been one of the things Diamondz did as well as the Crystal Dragon which we have no evidence to go against their claims." Jin started his reasoning.

"However, we can also make things simple. Assemble troops right in front of Parry City's borders. Make them look to us as if it is an act of aggression when we can give the excuse that we were simply assembling troops at the North." Jin said.

"Ahh…" General Ost could see that latter's point. "If we assemble troops, they had no choice but to cautiously put up the troops at their borders too, and since their city is closer to our borders unlike ours where it's at the centre of our territory then…"

"They have to assemble troops in the city which might cause some panic but it would do them good if the Empire Dragon comes in." Grieves could see Jin's plan even though it is rather heavy handed in terms of military cost.

"So, if the Empire Dragon does not come out and hit the Parry City in 2 weeks, then that's great for us but bad for them since they will think we are surrounding them because our troops would be returning from the north."

"We can coordinate in such a way that if the troops are reaching Parry City, we can withdraw our assembly of troops, perhaps do an unannounced military exercise to guise it. That way, they will feel reduced pressure from us." General Ost said

"And at the same time have troops protecting their city too." Commander Eggshell could see the plan in this.

"Actually, if you think about it. It can also deduce the nature of the Empire Dragon. This is because the Mechanoid could and the human that was killed might have been compromised and Parry City was dealing with them using the Empire Dragon. If the Empire Dragon can be controlled by them and they do not appear, we will know that Parry City held a secret that they were either secretly controlling banned customised Mechanical Beasts or building such Mechanical beasts."

"On the other hand, if the Empire Dragon attacks their city, we will be the ones acting as the saints for assembling our troops in the north." Grieves started to like the idea.? "And we can respond quickly too."
