Chapter 1677 Search For Crystal Dragon -Part 9

"The Mechanical Hound is able to get some of the footage. Not all. There is a lot of static and noise probably due to the damage that the Mechanoid had suffered. I can bring it back to do a proper analysis of its memory but so far it is like this." Click said and it played through the System Channel.

Lo and behold, it was definitely a dragon that visited them but what they did not know was that it was no ordinary one. It was a Mechanical Dragon as well and this time, there was an Empire crest at the side of it. If it's not for the Mechanoid's point of view, they might not be able to catch it all. Even though it does not act like the Crystal Dragon its movements according to the video records that Diamondz Labs has were similar.

"Since when did the Empire create Mechanical Dragons? You mean the Crystal Dragon was not the first and last of it?"

"This is worrying. If the Empire does have Mechanical Dragons, there might be a chance if the Archduke were to invade the Royal Family, the Royal Assassins and Royal Guards were not the only trouble they had to contend with." Yinn said as she asked the System to send the report to Jin.

And that troubles Jin instantly as he gets into the call as soon as possible.

"What is this? This is nothing like the Crystal Dragon." Jin said and Yinn tried to communicate to Jin as much as possible the information they had on it. "So you are saying this is an Empire built Mechanical Dragon that could have possibly gone rogue?"

"High chance. Otherwise, the Parry City Military would not go so far as to cover the trails and restrict our movement that much. We suspect that they are trying to find it as well but Parry City's outskirts is not the same as Daimon. The territory is circular in nature and the forests are rather evenly spread but when it comes to Parry City, we are dealing with Ravines, cliffs, valleys mountains. It's a whole different ballgame."

"So you are saying, there is a chance the Empire's Mechanical Dragon is hidden around here and has yet to flee and the Parry City Military is trying its best to find it in order to subdue it? In the meantime, there's a possibility somebody leaked this information thinking that Parry City would not be able to handle such a threat or maybe sent it out as revenge?"

"It's not conclusive but we believed it's something like that. Otherwise, they would have been upfront and honest with us." Yinn reported and Jin sighed.

"System, how are the exports going for Parry City? It might give a glimpse of the duration of the situation that had been imposed on them."

"There were no changes in export items but only in recent days, they requested more Diamondz Mechanoids but of the older versions. Diamondz Corp did not see a problem clearing old stock and gave them the go ahead." The System reported.? "Those Mechanoids would be as per normal delivery. It was not stated as urgent."

"Huh, so they are really trying to play this down as much as they could and want to soften the blow before things go bad."

"What are we going to do? They are obviously not letting us search anymore and want us to return."? Yinn said.

"Well, it will be troublesome if we enter without permission as well. And if Parry City wants to clear this on their own. We have to respect their choice." Jin replied with a bitter face.

"But Commander, this goes on. Parry City itself would be in trouble. The Empire Mechanical Dragon would hit the city sooner or later and chaos would ensue." Yinn was overly concerned that it felt that it was out of her usual nature.

"Commander, as much as I agree with you, Yinn has a point." Tellie wanted to support her vice leader and before the rest could chime in. Jin interrupted all of them.

"Stand down. This is not our fight at the moment. If we actively hunt Empire Mechanical Dragons, then what can be said of Daimon City's stance?" Jin replied in a serious tone. "Sure, we might say that we could be hunting a variant of the Mechanical Crystal Dragon but more scrutiny will emerge from us."

"It's the same if we don't hunt them down and the Mechanical Dragon destroys Parry City. They will eventually put the blame on us too and the Empire insignia would not make things any easier." Yinn argued.

"That is why we have to be smart when it comes to handling this particular problem. Do not rush through it. I will get Commander Eggshells, General Ost, and Grieves to prepare for a support and rescue mission over Parry City. But in the meantime, try to extend your stay in Parry City as long as possible. I will get someone to send you some more equipment be it legal or illegal means. It might mean much when fighting against an Empire Dragon if it comes down to it but at least it's still a deterrent." Jin said

"Does that mean Parry City had to be hit first before we can do anything else?" Tellie asked and Jin nodded his head.

"As much as it is you want to save Parry City, some losses need to be ascertained before we can save the greater good. By acting on your own to find the Empire Mechanical Dragon would only exacerbate the problem and in turn, harm Daimon City as a whole. If we play our cards right, there is a chance we might be able to get out of this and Parry City might become an eternal ally against the fight with the Empire."

"If we play our cards correctly… Jin, this is so not you." Lynn replied and Jin sighed. "I know, but with limited resources, this is what we can only do. It's not like I have my minions with me." Jin said and Lynn clenched her fists.
