From-DIDIDA Novels
It was as if the Metal Ogres knew that they had enough manpower (or Ogrepower) in their possession that their leaders had decided that this extraordinary odour of their prey was worthy of a huge feast. That monster lure was basically a trigger to force them out of their own personal habitats within the dungeon and emerge hungry.
They had no idea what made them so compulsive to get this extravagant sensation out of their body other than to gather and hunt as a group. (Well, to break the bubble, it was the Synthesis AI Administration that created all of this and programmed their behaviour in such a way.) While he did not precisely question Syn, Jin fully knew well that the AI administration had a hand in this situation but in his honest opinion, they did not need to create a brand new variant to see how effective his incoming customers would be.
"The System probably bragged it a little or perhaps they based it on my performance...Oh no..." Jin thought to himself and wondered if he had set too high of a standard that the AI Administration's own mini test in disguise for his cultivators would backfire against him. "Though technically even if they based it on me, I did not exactly use that much chi or Maqi techniques to get away with stuff. Come to think of it, it is the System that aided me more than I did the work."
"Did you forget about our powers..." The Cardinals were actually spying on Jin too and he suddenly felt irritated.
"Tsk, I had forgotten I had another batch of old buggers with me." Jin shook his head in front of the War Table unconsciously and the rest of the defence council members took notice and formulated their own thoughts about him.
"The Metal Ogres are moving right now." One of the operators within the War Room had spoken out and Jin who was at the centre of the War Table had finally consented and kickstarted supposedly one of the most extensive defence operations in Daimon City's history.
"Sent out the first phase. Fly as low as possible." Jin reiterated and the council member that was in charge of their air force had sent instructions to sort it out. In less than a few minutes, Cargo Planes were seen taking off from the city's own commercial airport and the defence forces who were in their defensive lines and trenches could spectate a wave of aeroplanes flying in unison through the skies.
The fact that they were instructed to fly low made them look bigger than usual and more intimidating but those people on the ground had no idea what was going on, sending commercial planes to fight against the Metal Ogres. The only solution that the commanders and Mechanoids could formulate was that those planes would be used to crash against the monsters, burning them and incinerating them with high heat so that it would be easy for the artillery bombardment to deal with them.
Sadly, that idea spread like wildfire as they thought that there were Mechanoids that had been sacrificed because of this even though this kamikaze attack could possibly be one of the greatest firepower they might have in their arsenal, granted that the Metal Ogres could be burned through the fuel those cargo planes were holding alongside the explosives they potentially carry.
But unfortunately, they were so wrong.
A few observers with long vision modules were able to see that the cargo planes were opening up and Mechanoids emerged with hoses and they were spraying water at the Metal Ogres. The Mechanoids at the Trenches were stunned by this act and wondered if the commander who created this plan had some loose screws in them. This is especially so when the Metal Ogres were enraged by this set of actions and started to throw metal spears and set off arrows towards the Cargo Planes. A few of the Mechanoids got injured in action and the Metal Ogres even destroyed one of the cargo planes by aiming for their engines.
However, there were a few that could potentially see the bigger picture from this action that the higher ups had conjured. "I can theorise what they are doing but I cannot exactly pinpoint how they are going to enact it unless..." The Senior Commander wanted to finish his sentence when he saw bombers had already been sortie out without any escorts from the fighter jets.
"Unless what?" Another defence commander asked him and when the bombers opened their cargo bay, the bombs were painted in stark purple which made the commander give another comment. "Oh my god, are they dumb or what? Why are they using anti Mechanoid bombs against the Metal Ogres? They are essentially useless against monsters, only useful in sending out waves of electric blasts." However, the Senior commander thought otherwise and started grinning so hard that he finally could not control himself and laughed loudly.
"Watch the show and learn. This Interim Leader sure knows how to use his brains then to just dish out bombs which our generals would have done." The Senior Commander continued to laugh loudly that the other soldiers and Mechanoids were curious as they saw the bombs finally drop and a large burst of lightning emerged after the bombs impacted followed by an acute sharp sound wave.
That was when the people on the field realised what was exactly happening.
The water was not just some ordinary water but it was a liquid solution that increased the conductivity of electricity which enhanced the power of the electric bombs that had been dropped on the Metal Orges. For some reason, everyone kept having the notion that fire bombs were the only way to kill the Metal Ogres and believed that all they had to do was to throw more at them if the first time did not work.
So, this fresh way of creative bombardment was something the commanders did not think of and finally felt that perhaps they really did have a chance to survive this horde of monsters.
However, they did not know that since the monster lure had not been destroyed, more were still appearing and the variants just kept getting out of control. (Jin on the other hand was cursing Syn, knowing that he was having such a fun time creating more trouble. All he to make sure that he does not be friends with Kraft.)
