Chapter 1648 Defending Daimon -Part 37

While it felt like the die had been cast for the Metal Ogres, they did not give up. They could see that the enemies were of a different calibre than them. All their enhancements had provided the Metal Ogres the strength to move better than a Mechanoid. They are walking tanks which could do devastating damge as long as they could get close enough.

Once the Metal Ogres understood that logic, they quickly adapted from trying to defend themselves from the attacks to reckless charges. Their leaders do not care what they will do as long as they inflict as much danger as possible.

Even with Operation Magical Sky is in effect, no. It is precisely because of Operation Magical Sky, the Metal Ogres felt that their powers were waning and were disheartened by the progress made by their fellow comrades. Their sense of loss was deepened by the meaningless death of their comrades and their hunger to get back on the humans who had been killing them senselessly.

But they had forgotten they were the ones who decided to risk and come out of the dungeon entrance. With each risk, comes with their reward but it just so happened that they were unfortunate to meet not just a prepared force and a force that had been commanded by Jin. Unlike the Forest Trolls who felt cornered once the tides had turned, the remaining Metal Ogre Leaders had proposed a controversial plan of attack.

To charge as much as possible into the city grounds and they will rampage to destroy as much as the human grounds to the best extent as they could.

All of that could be achieved with just one loud war cry from a Metal Ogre Leader and the varying sounds of his cries were spread by the other Metal Ogre Leaders. Eventually all of the Metal Ogres complied and the humans also knew that something omnious was about to happen.

"User, the System detects that the Metal Ogres are reforming their battle ranks regardless the cost of lives."

"Don't tell me that they are going to do reckless s.h.i.+t." Jin said as he asked the Various Front Officers to have a status update.

"The Ogres in the Northern Region are retreating back to the West." The Eastern Front Officer stated.

"The Ogres in the Southern Region are also retreating back to the West." Central Defence Officer reported.

"This is bad. How are the Barrier Generators coming along?"

"Not yet, done. They all had been working overtime but they were not even 30% done." The Central Defence Officer said.

With the information that Jin and the System had, the System could foresee that the Metal Ogres were had the likely chances to charge through the Western Front. And this was made more obvious with s.h.i.+eld bearers started to form up at the sides and subsequently the center row.

Surely, the artillery people were delighted that they were able to finally not need to aim and just shoot at a spot where there's the highest concentration of Metal Ogres. But as much as they wished to do that, their stockpiles had dwindled to two digits. Even with the consistent logistic trains moving in and out from the East to the West to bring more reserved artillery sh.e.l.ls, they were still finding themselves short. And that was already the most efficient route given by the System when they rerouted the trains tracks.

This showed how much the artillery had done to make sure that they were suppressing the Metal Ogres and how dead tired they were. There were three teams of Mechanoids rotating and a consistent basis and they also shot to the point that their barrels gave out in less than half an hour. The intense bombardment would had already made a human soldier deaf so all the props go to the Mechanoids moving as fast as they as could, optimising every single movement to have the least amount of time to reload a sh.e.l.l.

But all of those did not matter already as Jin could see that the artillery guns would be rendered useless the moment the Metal Ogres rushed in.

"Start retreating the soldiers! Move to Defensive Line 2! Leave only a few Mechanoids to provide suppressive fire!" Jin ordered and suddenly the Western Front Officers were busy as heck. There was nothing else they could do but to relay the information as precisely as possible and giving them the coordinates to regroup.

"With this size charging into the city, the Defensive Line 2 would not hold."? The System reported.

"Yea I know. But we have to make use of the traps we created at Defensive Line 2 first. And if the Metal Ogres are going charge like mad bulls, we now have the opportunity to close them off." Jin said as he gave the command to Eastern Front Officer to get him General Ost.

"Interim Leader." General Ost picked up the communication line.

"General Ost. I believe your instincts would have picked up that this is not a good sign from the monsters."

"Yes, it is quite apparent that they are going to charge through Defensive line 1 with everything they got."

"And you know what that means." Jin said and General Ost nodded his head.

"Their flanks and back will be exposed. We can do a counter attack but how effective the counter will be remains to be seen."

"Can your team lead the a.s.sault from the back?" Jin asked and General Ost thought about it for a moment.

"Not the best solution considering how tough they are. Your Magical Sky nets is also going to end soon, right? Then the Metal Ogres would have their resistances enhanced once more. My remaining a.s.sault Forces do not have the firepower to do so."

"But you have the manpower." Jin replied.

"Manpower does not equate to Firepower." General Ost replied with a little confused look on his face.

"No, what I mean is that you got the manpower and that's we need." Jin was still being cryptic.
