Chapter 1624 Defending Daimon -Part 13

Even though the monster lure was said to deactivate after its use, a scouting team who had gone to the south to pick up samples of the monster lure as per Jin\'s request had indicated that the size of the Monster Lure was one of the largest they had ever seen. And based on their estimates, the monster lure was supposed to work for at least a few weeks.

Jin who expected lures to last for probably at most a day or two based on common sense from his home world, had to change his plans on how to tackle this ongoing threat. Even the military council was surprised by the findings and they nearly broke down that it would be hopeless if not for Jin\'s persistence in getting everything intact.

And now the Interim Leader understood why it was called a monster outbreak. Even though there was no variety of monsters other than the slight variants they encountered, the sheer quantity of those monsters was already proving to be a problem even for defence and assault teams.

Also, if the monster lure was still to be active, the possibility of the city being overrun would undoubtedly come true. That was why Jin had considered himself to be lucky since he managed to destroy most of the monster lures except for the one in the West. But to pull such underhanded tricks by the Empire\'s Royal Family merely made his blood boil. Initially, there was no grudge within him but this dirty play had shown that the Royal Family was unfit for ruling.

In order to bury pieces of evidence, they are willing to destroy the entire city? And to make things worse, they were able to do that and pull strings to ensure that none of the surrounding territories will aid? Surely, they guise the excuse of protecting oneself but the cities were equally selfish as well. But with this, Jin believed that the Archduke have seen the true colours of the lordships that were underneath him.

He now has a better idea on who to trust and will take steps to ensure that these people would be dealt with accordingly. However, right now all Dyke could do was to pray that Jin manages to tide over this dire circumstance and survive to tell the tale. If he could do that, he not only become a valuable lord for the rebellion but also have an entire city who had ties to the one of the biggest Mechanoid Corporations the Empire ever had.

"Sir, the Grey Bears are on board! They are departing as we speak."? The officer said as Jin snapped out of his thinking for a moment.

"They already know what to do." Jin said and the council members who were around him were fairly annoyed.

"What did you make them do? Why are we not informed of this decision?"

"This is my own squad. I do not believe I need to tell you what I can to do with them." Jin said in a stern voice. For the time he had been here, he realised that the military would squabbling with him without end. They were like a bunch of old men complaining about the problem but nothing was being done. Jin felt that if he could make it happen, he would push these old men into the battlefield and replace them with more logical go-getters for the council.

"But if you do not tell us what is happening, what if they were to make a severe mistake because you had not consulted us with it?" The old men grumbled and Jin finally decided to give in after sighing.

"They are going to destroy the monster lure at the Western Dungeon. This should at least reduce the number of monsters coming out of the Western Dungeon and it will be a major win for us." Jin replied and the old men wished to retract in horror.

"You are going to waste a perfectly fine helicarrier and a squad of specialised Mechanoids to do something this stupid?" One of the old men complained.

"It\'s precisely because it\'s a perfectly fine helicarrier and a squad of HIGHLY specialised Mechanoids that I will let them perform this operation." The sarcasm in the sentence made Jin\'s reply to have no mercy on the old man who asked it.

"Then how sure are you about the location of the monster lure?" Another old men said and this time round the question made more sense which Jin was obliged to answer his question seriously.

"Based on our previous encounters with the monster lures. Both North, South and even the Eastern Monster Lures, as well as the smaller ones in the intercardinal regions that had been destroyed were placed in a similar fashion. None of them hid the lures and purposely placed it where it had the most effect on the dungeon entrance and that is approximately 20 metres away from it. The analysts suspected that the people who placed it had deduced that by the time Daimon City understood that there were monster lures, it would been too late for them."

"So they had decided to place it right outside the entrance in order to not just have the maximum benefit but also ensuring that it works the moment they started it and the perpetrators can run away after activating the lures. If we were to survive this, I will spare no effort to get the bottom of this to hand out justice to those responsible."

"And that includes the mastermind of the perpetrators even if they were the King and Queen of the country." Jin said as he casually eyed at every single old man sitting at the table as if suspecting that they were also in cahoots with the Royal Family.
