Chapter 1604 Interim Leader Of Daimon City -Part 8



Even as Jin's plan was to go on the offensive than to be in the defensive position, the situation was not as ideal as he would want it to be. The contingent of Mechanoids that Archduke Dyke had to arrive. The soldiers and volunteers who had stepped up to defend their city were still in a mess. Even with the multiple technological systems used to coordinate with everyone, there were still people who did not know what to do which prompted Jin to request the System to enter the fray.

Upon the System's advent, things were getting organised instead of them being spired out of control and this gives the place as well as the defenders a certain amount of trust in the current coordination of things. Yet, latest sources had stated that the Western dungeon had reached peak mass worth of monsters. If Jin was not going to do anything about it, the outbreak could truly start especially when such a congregation of monster could only mean one thing.

They had leaders intelligent enough as well as clout among the monsters to the point that they were amassing in large numbers so that they could guarantee that their assault against their bounty would be favourable. In the meantime, the Grey Bears seem to have encountered difficulties in the East as well as their opponents were not the very same Deer Orcs they had encountered previously.

Instead, they were a more disgusting species of forest trolls that had emerged from the Eastern Dungeon, another variant of deviant monsters that was not within the databases. To Jin, it seemed as if the AI Administration might have a hand in this current situation but he could not recklessly point fingers at anyone at this point. Yinn who was spearheading the squad had decided to rescind her command when she realised that Lynn had a better grasp of the situation fighting against such new deviant of monsters but the latter instantly rejected the new appointment.

"Just because I am familiar with fighting Trolls in other worlds does not mean that I have leadership qualities commanding the Squad. Boss Jin had made you the leader for this punitive squad and so be proud! Take this responsibilitiy seriously!" Lynn said as she blasted off a troll's head away, causing it to stop regenerating. That heat of moment somehow allowed them to find the weakness of the forest trolls but it was easier said than done as the forest trolls were competent in their combat skills.

Mere bullets were insufficient to stop them and explosions that were not directed at their heads could be healed almost instantly. This was the reason why Yinn felt that her attacks with assault rifles were not strong enough to kill any forest trolls, and subsequently demoralising her to not allow her to lead the team proper. "If you can't attack properly than use your brain! Isn't that why you are the brains of our operations before Commander Jin came into the picture?" Diaz also shouted as all she could do was to jump to the nearest troll and bring her shotgun close enough to their heads so they can blow them off.

"Our objective...our objective is not the forest trolls but the monster lure that cause these trolls to emerge. Yes, we might need to handle the trolls since they are not going to go back to the variant dungeon even if we ask them nicely but we need to stop the lure from dispesing the scent to allow other monsters to emerge later..." Yinn thought to herself and immediately called out to Click.

"Are you able to get your mechanical scouts to find where the monster lure is?"

"I don't think so! I only brought three hounds out and the scent of the monster lure in the area is too dense for them to even sniff it out."

"All we know is that the monster lure is in front of the dungeon, right? System, what's the distance between us and the dungeon entrance?" Yinn quickly call out.

"Approximately 1.6km away from your current location. That is assuming the System assuming that you continued to move straight, cutting through the forest trolls." The System replied and switched off immediately to assume control of the other responsibilities that Jin had requested it to handle.

"You want to a straight path through? I can do that but you need someone equally fast to move in as well." Tellie said as she hung behind the tree, sniping forest trolls faraway with gravity attributed bullets, a brand new bullet which the upgrade cards gave that cause the troll's head to implode inwards and die upon getting a headshot.

"Are you worried about the dungeon entrance being destroyed? Causing a permanent rift to emerge since there is nothing to hold the entrance?" Page asked as she could sense that Yinn was calucating the risks. Like their current leader, Page was useful against Mechanoids but not against monsters so the only thing she could do was to send nanobots flying to the other Mechanoids' aid when they were needed. That was especially true for Lynn who had overstretched her already resilient top of the line Mechanoid body by normal standards. But because of Page's aid, Lynn was able to unleash explosive moves repeatedly killing trolls in an unpreccedent amount that she could earn triple promotion by now.

Yet for some reason, those forest trolls were still regenerating in numbers that the Grey Bears could not explain so for now, what they had to do was to complete their given mission as soon as possible. Thus, with the current capabilities of the Grey Bears, Yinn decided that it was time for her to buck up as well. There was only so much she could do that it pains her to know that there was nothing special with regards to her expertise as a Grey Bear Mechanoid leader.

That was why she had decided to create a plan that was radical enough, utilising the unique capabilities that the Grey Bears were bestowed with from Commander Jin and the System. If this plan fails, Yinn believed that all they could do was to retreat or die fighting holding the line long enough to allow their commander to have sufficient time to prepare the city's defence plan.
