Chapter 1610 Interim Leader Of Daimon City -Part 14

Ogres.

And if the species was not enough to be menacing for the defenders of Daimon City, they had chosen the element that resisted explosives the most, Metal Ogres. As the name had specified, Metal Ogres are extremely sturdy monsters that are rather resistant against fire based attacks. Surely, throwing enough explosives on them will work but there was only that much Daimon City Defenders had in stock yet that doesn't mean that they can't be killed.

On the other hand, the Forest Trolls were less resistant to explosives but they require precision to kill them because of their healing factor. That was why Commander Jin had decided to send out the first responders against the Forest Trolls instead. Annihilating them would be an easier task while the group tries to defend against the Metal Ogres.

And to make matters worse, those Metal Ogres were as their name stated, had metal on them. This made them a group of monsters with some intelligence that had the capability to create metal based weapons as part of their arsenal. Surely, other monsters have claws and fangs that are as hard as metal but these Ogres? Their Metal parts could range from the Copper to Titanium though the latter was more of a rarity and undoubtedly a stronger variant.

Yet, they are more or less formidable which Jin had to deal with with extra caution.

Surely, he could count on the God of Battlefield, the Almighty Artilleries but they could only do so much because of the stockpile that they had. Unlike Mount Sunn where the System was in control of the entire Workshop and had access to almost every automated production facility which enabled Old Flammet to focus on the delicate stuff, the System was not in control of Daimon City.

It needed not only premium access to the city's system but also the military and Diamondz Corps systems and handling that would be akin to handling Pandapolis threefold. This was because everything was a bunch of codes that the System needed some time to recognise while Pandapolis had already been programmed by the System and had sentient beings that knew what to do.

So while the System was able to send out commands like it did for the artillery strikes, and perhaps prompt Mechanoids to move out at certain locations based on Jin's decision, it was just a secondary computer to the Mechanoids that had been given the instructions. It could only influence their movements a little faster than the voice commands because of the authority that Jin wielded as the Interim Leader of Daimon City.

Therefore, the System had decided not to interrupt the organisation of the Western Defence compared to the East where the offensive was an easy one. And even though Jin had said that he wished to throw troops carelessly into the fray for all sides, he was not dumb enough to actually do that unless there was seriously a big fat opportunity to do so. Thus, the Eastern Offensive against the Forest Trolls was one such example in which he was glad that the Mechanoids were able to perform as he expected so that he could convince those in the Daimon defence council was able to see how Jin was able to execute such daring operations.

This not only gave them the trust for the Interim Leader to perform but also an instant morale booster for Daimon City who had seen this as competence from the Interim Leader rather than hearing all of his titles which they had no concerns about. It did however give some credibility in the first place but the doubts were deeply seeded into the people's minds since such elites from the Archduke's personal army were only rumours and hearsays unless proven otherwise.

And this offensive and the Grey Bear's success solidified the position that Jin was undertaking, giving not only the citizens of Daimon City confidence but also finally some hope that they could really weather such a betrayal from their neighbours and country. All Jin had to do was to continue doing such a good job that the people of Daimon City could rally behind the Archduke in the near future and be an unstoppable force that the Archdukes could utilise.

Hence, with all these considerations, Jin had decided to stand their ground against the Western portion of Daimon City. Trenches had been created haphazardly as the first defensive line while Sappers, who were Mechanoids that deal with explosives, had been putting up mines ahead of the hastily made trenches so that the Metal Ogres could be slowed down.

If the Forest Trolls were any indication of the incoming fight, the monsters can not be judged based on their size since the perception of Trolls were not fast moving creatures until Jin saw the footage of them moving rather quickly. And so, he concluded that the Metal Ogres were equally a problem. Surely, they do not have the healing factor of a Forest Troll but their metal based element built within them causes their skin to be partially resistant to bullets, technically making them a sort of bullet sponge.

So far, there were no weak points that they could utilise since they had not engaged in combat yet but based on the current knowledge and data that Daimon City's monster database had, Ogres tend not to have any weakness they could exploit. The only thing they could do was to pour out as much firepower as they could to allow those monsters to die.

Therefore, Jin was not worried that the general population of Daimon could not get any action but rather how much action they get before they needed to retreat away. However, even with all the initial impromptu decisions, all of the defence council members had no idea that Jin was preparing an offensive as he had initially proposed... Just not with Daimon City's citizens.

Aye, it's those cultivator customers who were hungry for new content. It had been so so god damn long since they got anything new that this Virtual Simulation which had been teased periodically and finally had been released to the public despite the word 'beta' inside of it. But because it was considered 'beta' the price of the entry had been lowered though it was now counted by minutes due to how there was a time difference between Jin's World and the Synthesis World. But the customers had no idea that was the original reasoning, they assumed that the Virtual Simulation was counted in minutes mainly because of its beta form. They had no idea that their minutes might be hours or days within that Synthesis World's Virtual Simulation.

The customers at first thought it was outrageous but Qiu Yue assured them that if they were not satisfied after the run, they could get a partial refund and that was assuming they would not accept the rewards of the said run once they were done with it. (If it was Jin, it would be full, lol. Qiu Yue was not allowing the customers to run away so easily after they used the service.)

But that was just the minority as the majority were patiently anticipating the release. Very patiently.
