Chapter 1631 Defending Daimon -Part 20
"Eastern Daimon Assault Forces and Platoon Pandawan. You will feel a slight shift in your surroundings so please hold on to your horses. Well, erm... you will get what I mean." Jin said and within a few seconds, the entire area felt different, as if something had teleported them.
And suddenly, the sky did not feel right to them. The moonlight was a little dim -wait no. There was no moonlight at all. The forest fires and the smell of death were not there either. However, what they could see was undoubtedly the Forest Trolls that were right in front of them equally dazed by the situation.
It was only when they looked up that they saw a humongous platform of iron and steel staring at them. There was no need to search for the moonlight as there was nothing beyond that ship of crazy proportions.
"Sorry to make you guys work too hard, here's some reinforcement fire," Jin said in a delighted voice and suddenly there was a timer that emerged at the corner of their consoles. A 15 minute timer that had already started to count down without anyone saying anything.
That was when they saw the battlecruiser at the top of them started to glow. Not one, not two but multiple tubes glowed from orange to red as the lights finally turned into a bright beam of energy falling down to the ground, damaging -nah, killing everything that was within the beam's radius. The Forest Trolls screamed at the searing heat that engulfed them and finally dissipated into nothingness.
There were no ashes to follow through after the beam had cleared out. All that was left were scorched marks on the ground and that made some of the Forest Trolls confused. This was because those who were caught partially in the beam energy had found that their regeneration was not recovering as fast as they wanted it to.
That was when it caught on to the Pandawans even some of the soldiers that their regeneration rate was not the same as it was when they were retreating. In fact, it might even be slower than when they first started their fight against them. They had no idea what Jin had done other than getting that big ass battlecruiser into the battlefield.
The only other difference was that their communications were not going through the headquarters but they could still talk with each other. "Well, less gawking and more killing! I cannot keep this big friend of ours here for too long, you have to use this chance to down as many trolls as possible, or else we will be back to square one again!" Jin shouted through the intercom.
There was silence at first until someone decided to give out a war cry and it came from none other than Jin's beloved number one supporter of the store. His war cry was so contagious that the entire Platoon of Pandawans did the same as well which subsequently spread to the Eastern Daimon Assault Forces.
Other than the fact that there were warnings on where the laser beams were to land, the soldiers finally took the courage to charge forward and kill the Forest Trolls nearest to them. Soon, those laser beams turned into orbital bombardments from the battleship cruisers, decimating the back lines without worry that it would hit any dungeon entrance since Jin had already teleported them to another dungeon instance.
And for some reason, the slaughtering of the first wave of Forest Trolls somehow made the forerunners a little dizzy with bloodlust. Once they managed to get a hit on a Forest Troll, they did not care and went for the next one behind their target, letting the people at their back finish what they had started.
The same goes for the Pandawans as well.
In fact, the soldiers and Mechanoids were all following the example of the Pandawans as they saw this group of well skilled individuals going through the thick of the horde, unlike any berserkers they ever encounter. Not only do these Pandawans have the skill but also the stamina to keep going as if the group were going through thickets of forestry.
But if they had known that the Pandawans had been through worse especially their fight against the Demon Rats, they would understand that this was merely another obstacle course for them as those Demon Rats were just of a different level of difficulty.
So as Jin saw the Eastern Assault Forces finally moving to clear as many Forest Trolls as possible, his legs finally gave way and he was panting hard at the centre of the helicarrier. 2LT Cloudie heard a loud thud and quickly turn to check as the door to the cockpit wasn't close in the first place.
"You okay there Interim Leader?"
"Yeah. Just catching my breath."
"How did you even summon out such a behemoth of a battlecruiser out of nowhere..."? The copilot asked.
"More like where the hell are we. My sensors are all screwed up and I am barely sustaining flight in this particular position." Cloudie said and Jin laughed.
"Hahah. That will be my bad. Please just stay in this position for another 15minutes. Once the duration is over, we would be back to where we came from." Jin replied.
"Oh my god. Lord Jin, are you saying that you are part of the old ancient lords?" The copilot asked and Jin was confused.
"What do you exactly mean?"
"Don't listen to him, he might have read too many fantasy books and there's too much nonsense in his head." Cloudie interrupted.
"No, by all means. Please continue. I am interested to hear about this old ancient lords bullshit you are referring to."
"You have no idea? They said that certain people once appointed Lords might have a chance of getting some special power. That is how the Royal Family came about. Their power was to control some ancient guild and they in turn had people doing much secret work for them."
"See, can you understand what this kid is blabbering about? He is obviously referring to the Royal Assassin Guild. Everyone knows that the King have this guild under him that does all his bidding."
"No no. Not the Royal Assassins. But rather a group of people with influence, with power and with money. Maybe they swell their ranks through achievements and such and they will do whatever means to stay in power."
"Now this is interesting..." Jin thought to himself whether those old stuffy men in military suits were part of this...ancient guild that the copilot talked about. Or whether this was just a hoax.
"Don't be interested. Everytime he said something like that, people tried to dig a little on it and they somehow disappeared." 2LT Cloudie
"Then why he did not disappear yet?" Jin laughed as he asked that question.
"Maybe he is the one that made those people disappear. How would I know? Just do not listen to him and pretend that this is just one big hoax. Otherwise, Interim Leader. You will lose everything that you had earned and worked for. It will be a waste of talent, especially seeing how you can hold such powers that could rival other major lords. Although, from what I know, you are the only one that can do something like this, and the rest are just hoarding on to big guns or forbidden mechanoids."
