Chapter 1649 Defending Daimon -Part 38

"Speak in plain terms and do not stall." General Ost instead of being confused, felt the interim leader's words were not direct enough.

"As usual, we just need a small team to go into the Western Dungeon entrance to stop more of the Metal Ogres from emerging. After which, all you need to do is to reoccupy Defensive Line 1. Point the Artillery towards the direction of Defensive Line 2 and 3."

"Because Defensive Line 1 has all the heavy weaponry and artillery."

"There might be limited artillery shells left but it would still prove to be useful. We are going to trap them at Defensive Line 2 as much as possible and while the Central Defence Team will create something more deadly at Defensive Line 3 if things still go awry."

"Hmm. I see. If you use the traps at Defensive Line 2, they should not be able to move for a while.

"Instead of boxing them which is not our forte since we are not melee trained, you holding Line 1 will undoubtedly help to restrict their movements. The Pandawans under my disposal will reinforce Line 1 too and this should assist you guys in holding it." Jin said and General Ost could see the merits of this impromptu operation.

"In the meantime, I will see if I can salvage as much of the Operation Magical Sky. If it can hamper them prior to their initial charge, we should increase the chances of us eliminating them." Jin said and General Ost understood the details of the operation.

Just as he turned off the communication lines with the Eastern Lead Commander, he quickly called Click and asked her about the viability to drop the multi layered net now.

"Yeah, I think I can do that and since there's still time before the battery should end, I should able to recalibrate it in such a way that it covers the entire Metal Ogre formation, and then zoooooom the turrets go."

"Do that now, please."

"Yes, Commander." Click said as she opened her own console and started viewing the codes that handled her turrets. With just a few taps on the keyboard and additional lines of code, the command centre could see that the magical sky net had started moving too.

"Tell the Artillery to stop firing. All to retreat to Defensive Line 2," Jin ordered and the Western Front Officer stated that was an urgent incoming call.

"Western Lead Commander General Grieves is on the line, Sir."

"Get him on the line."

"Yes, Sir."

"General Grieves."

"You asked for a full retreat, do I have the right to bomb the entire defensive line?" Grieves asked and Jin was relieved that Grieves at least had the courtesy to give him a heads up.

"No. Take those explosives and scatter them ahead of Defensive Line 2. Let the Metal Ogres trample through Line 1. The Eastern Daimon Assault Force will occupy Line 1 once they charge through.

"We would not have enough time!" General Grieves figured that a full fledged retreat would not help at all, considering the distance they had to cover by foot. "There are injured people that had yet to move out too. This was not just some practice range. Those Metal Ogres did come near enough to Line 1 to cause some damage."

"I can buy some time for you but the rest you got to think on your feet. Get the Mechanoids to carry the injured and leave the equipment behind. There are stockpiles of new equipment at Line 2. The remaining items will be used by Line 1."

"You are assuming the Metal Ogres are not idiots and do not bother to take the weapons that could kill them. What if they picked them and used them against us?" Grieves questioned as he continued the order of a full retreat.

"I have no answer for that but when that time comes, we will handle it. For now, just take your men out of Line 1 and into Line 2. The Traps there would at least stop any of those thieves you had mentioned. And we are going to kill them all." Jin was forceful with his reply and Grieves could only trust that Jin would be able to buy some time for him as stated.

"How are the fighter planes? Are they able to go for a third sortie?" Jin placed the communication line down with Grieves and asked the Central Defence Team.

"They are able to and are raring to go. They said that they had equipped bunker buster bombs and the high intensity electric bombs. In fact, they are saying that the Interim Leader should use them more often."

"Heh. And waste our stockpile of missiles on monsters that can be defeated by standard artillery? The cost difference is huge, you know." Jin grinned that the air force was happy to help and not stay idle but this was not their fight. Not yet. "In any case, yes. Please sortie them. The Magical Sky Net is going to drop on them."

And with some coordination between the various forces, Click was finally given the go ahead to drop the magical sky nets, in lieu of the fighter planes incoming hot within a 15 second window.? The Magical Sky Net's turrets accelerate downwards and the moment they detect the enemies, they shoot without mercy as a machine would do its job.

The Metal Ogres had no choice but to attempt to block it with their weapons and some with shields. However, when they did that, they were vulnerable to the retreating and suppressive fire from Defensive Line 1.

Some were killed and injured in the process which was a boon but the main trick came when the nets finally dropped on them completely. One might think that they were just layered nets, and the Metal Ogres believed they could cut through the huge sized net away with their own weapons. However, they did not know that a well mesh net was hard to pierce through and even cut.

As they were struggling to get out of it, the fighter planes finally came in to shock them with the electric bombs. Under Jin's instruction, they were to do that in sets of three. Considering they had sortie out 6 planes and each of them was equipped with two electric bombs, they were able to do it 4 intervals.

That will shock them in place and give them some time for Line 1 to run.
