Chapter 1647 Defending Daimon -Part 36

?

As soon as the Helicarrier moved away from the frontline, new cargo planes started to emerge from the night skies dropping a certain set of items as it flew across the Western Forest. Without a doubt, those items were none other than the flying turrets and set of nets that came with it. The nets were multilayers to the point where they would block out almost 90% of moonlight.

Not to mention, because they were flying turrets, they also had the capacity of carrying a few ammunition clips on them as well with an automatic rifle attached to them. In short, this multi layer net was not just to block out the moonlight but its also used as a deterring weapon which these turrets would shoot if any monsters were within their proximity.

Unfortunately, because of the height of it being deployed in order to not be within the projectile of the artilleries they fired, those automatic rifles were actually rather useless since their effective range was not equal to the height they had been deployed from.

Thus, the only way those rifle turrets had any use was when the battery on the flying mechanism had been drained, and only during descent would the turrets would be of use against the monsters. But that was not what the net was for as well.

Yinn had purposely chosen a material from Diamondz Corps that had high electrical conductivity. So, in the event that there were still Metal Ogres present, these nets could act not just as a deterrent item since it would fall straight towards them from the sky but used with an electric discharge grenade or an electric bomb like what the planes did, it should at the very least weaken the Metal Ogres who were trapped within it if they were not killed.

So, as the sky had been blanketed by these large sized nets with the turrets flying at the top, the moonlight that shone through had decreased significantly for the counterattacks to be more rampant. Western Front Lead Commander General Grieves had already pushed for a portion of his Mechanoids to be equipped with melee weapons that served as shock items as well. 

They repurposed the Mechanoids to produce an overcharge from their battery and core processors so that electric current could circulate through the spears that they were holding. In addition, these Melee Combat Mechanoids were accompanied by two other Mechanoids who were responsible for taking the Metal Ogres down with whatever firepower they could get their hands on. Assuming the Melee Combat Mechanoids were unable to get close to their targets, it was the responsibility of the Range Combat Mechanoids to do that job.

This meant that Grieves were not planning to waste too much artillery resources and decided to do so using the Mechanoids as disposal resources. It was not a bad plan per se but Jin was not able to influence what the Western Front Lead Commander could do. At the very least, Grieves had already acknowledged the plan previously and was willing to partake in it actively when Operation Magical Sky started. This was the least Grieves was able to ensure that Jin's efforts were not wasted. 

In the meantime, the Pandarens continued to handle the south flank and had been instructed to look out for splinter groups. Since the Forest Trolls were able to do that, the more sentient Metal Ogres would most likely perform the very same feat too. However, the Pandarens despite their abilities and skills, could not take on a huge group without fire support and thus when a Metal Ogre group had split up from the main group, the only one who was able to compete against them was none other the Platoon Pandawan.

Having enough experience fighting against the Forest Trolls, they were eventually retasked to go southwards and cover the Southern grounds while Lead Commander General Ost would take the North.

Not only were the Pandawans proven themselves in combat but they had also been gifted with three Jeeps with brand new weapon caches in those combat jeeps. So, even though they wanted to rest and take a breather, Jin was not allowing them to do so. In return, they were also given simulation coins for their efforts but the only sad thing was that those combat jeeps and weapons were limited time use. 

They were not registered as assets in the Platoon Pandawans as Jin did not allow them to keep those items. Still, the Pandawans were delighted that they didn't have to use that landing pod to travel and also not by foot. 

So, they responded to the sightings by the Pandarens, and groups of the latter would also provide support for the Pandawans who would be the spear tip that attacks these splinter groups. Unlike the main group who had numbers to back them up, the Pandawans blitz attacks took the Metal Ogres by surprise and given that they engaged in Melee, forced them to fumble as well. 

As much as they were close combat fighters, the Metal Ogres had never fought against Eastern Cultivators. Their speed and agility were unmatched and their attack power was on par with them as well. Thus, with the Pandarens attempting to hold the South, the North had been covered by the Eastern Daimon Assault Force and they would move a circle to flank the Metal Ogres.

If anything, the Metal Ogres need to get aggressive and push through in order to survive the encirclement that they would be encased in. 

Jin, on the other hand, had a change of clothing and monitored the situation extremely closely in order to make sure that there were no other sudden changes that could turn the tide for the Metal Ogres. If everything goes well, the window to kill the Metal Ogres is approximately two hours and that's when the battery will die from the turrets, and the veil against the Moonlight will be gone. 

They either have to have an overwhelming advantage by the end of Operation Magical Sky or they will risk falling back to the city for better defensive positions.
