Chapter 1628 Defending Daimon -Part 17

"You heard all of that?" Jin asked the System which the System acknowledged, now checking their background whether they had any ties to the Royal Family. Perhaps they were just a bunch of old men drunk with power and wanted to get rid of the young so that they could get away with what they wanted.

In the meantime, the System was doing the check, it asked Jin what he wanted to do about it.

"What do I want? Hahaha. I want to play by the rules. But the people who are playing this game do not want to play by the book, so what can I do? I bend the rules." He spoke to the System and Syn came in, unapologetic for eavesdropping into their conversation.

"What do you want to do this time around? Let me guess. A Dungeon Instance? Monster fighting against monsters?" Syn asked and Jin smiled.

"It does not always have to be a monster. There are times to show terror but there are also times to show how magnificent and awe struck one can be with their strength." Jin said within his channel and later he clicked on a button to release the glass door that entrapped the old men and him inside.

"So, what are you going to do now, Interim Leader?" The old men said in unison as if it was some creepy cult and everyone in the room heard it, to slowly turned their heads in order to look at Jin, waiting for his answer now that the Eastern Daimon Assault Force was trying to retreat as orderly as they could."

"Retreat till the Delta Line and hold position there. Get as much cover as they could when they reached. Hold it there, I will be coming." Jin said as he unbuttoned his collar as he felt that the anger boiling in him was too much to bear.

"As much as we appreciate how much you want to aid them, one person cannot change anything. It is imperative the Interim Leader should not leave the command headquarters and continue to stay to head the rest of the group." He did not care which old man said that but he was already moving away from the command table while folding his sleeves so he could get more comfortable.

"Unless you want to die if those people, be my guest but you still have to assign someone to the command post if you want to head out to battle." Another grumbling from the old men but Jin continued to ignore them.

"Is the Helicarrier still available?"

"Yes Sir, but they are taking a short break before they leave Daimon City."

"It's okay, I will personally contact them. Establish a line between me and the pilot."

"Yes, Sir. Right away." The officer said and Jin's telecoms were ringing, at the same time neglecting the yells and screams from those old men.

"2LT Cloudie reporting, what's the situation?"

"2LT Cloudie, this is the Interim Leader of Daimon City. Thank you for that wonderful operation that brought my Grey Bear Squad home safely."

"Sir, thank you for giving us this opportunity to do something greater than just transport Mechanoids. We had duly received the rewards as well."

"Are you willing to take another ride and increase that pot of gold to an even bigger one?"

"Very tempting, Sir but the situation does not look good. The Half Moon Phase and those howling are not a good sign for travel. I need to discuss it with my copilot first."

"10," Jin replied immediately and cursed once more that the old men did not talk about the moon phases. "10 times the risk pay with a promotion after the end of the operation and I am bringing you the gold as we speak. Your copilot is going to get the same pay as well."

"Sir…" Cloudie hesitated for a moment but he already turned on the loudspeaker which let his co-pilot hear about it.

"2LT let's do it." The co-pilot said and Cloudie sighed.

"Payment first. At least when we die, we know that we have the money recorded."

"Deal," Jin said and one of the officers suddenly stood up to grab onto Jin's shoulders.

"Interim Leader. My Lord. Do not leave the command room." He sounded desperate as his hands were trembling. There was fear within his eyes as if he knew that if Jin left, there might not be anyone capable or competent enough to lead Daimon City. It was how fucked up it was but the Lord of Mount Sunn smiled gently and yet at the same time seriously- an expression he always wanted to try when Kraft did it to him.

So, Jin turned back to see that everyone was awaiting his reaction or reply to the point where he decided to take a deep breath in and shouted. "Get back to work! Keep me abreast of the developments through my console. I am not abandoning this fight as I had vowed to protect all of you."

"So! Take this chance to learn more about the enemy from the ground and relay that information to me as soon as you have new information. Tell the Western Defence to start doubling their bombardment! I will be back once I assist the retreat of the Assault Force!"

"Yes Sir!" Everyone below the ranks of the old men at the table acknowledged Jin as they could see that he was possibly their only hope. He and his Grey Bears had shown quick judgment and the actions taken netted a positive effect to the point where he was the one producing miracles on the battlefield.

From the Grey Bears' destruction of the Monster Lures to the reinforcements he brought in to turn the tide. There was much he had achieved to ensure the survival of Daimon City. The officers in that command room knew that if they were to lose Jin, Daimon City might fall into shambles since they understood how those despicable selfish old men would have acted.
