Chapter 1616 Defending Daimon -Part 5
"All departing cultivators, please remember to place the safety harness on once you aligned correctly to your standing positions." The announcement was repeating itself on the loudspeaker of the supposed landing pods.
Mainly because this landing pod was for the Pandawans, the landing pod they were using was larger than usual and all of the Pandawans were walking in circles within this landing pod. As much as a landing pod had been defined to cater to only a small group, this particular landing drop pod had been designed to withstand a huge amount of people and that also means that the impact was larger.
Therefore, the decision for Jin to bring them into the Western Front was undoubtedly within his mind but he realised why should he do that when these Pandawans had repeatedly proven that they were stronger than the average Pandarens not just in terms of sheer willpower but also teamwork.
This was important as unlike the dungeon instances where their cultivation was the factor of victory, their souls were extracted from the simulation pods and they technically started from level 1 again as how Jin had done it. Unfortunately, even the Pandawans were on the same footing as the Pandarens mainly because of the fact that Jin was simply the anomaly.
Compared to all of his customers and perhaps even his employees, Jin was the only one who was able to grasp it easily due to the fact that he had subconscious training from Ming and the Cardinals under him. Regardless, those of a decent cultivator grade would still be able to perform well in this aspect mainly because of the fact that, unlike magic, a cultivator needs to train the soul, mind, and body. It is just that Jin had ma.s.sive initial training, unlike the rest.
So, both the System and Jin had theorised that when placed in a pinch, the Pandawans and even the Pandarens would be able to utilise their innate chi powers when the push come to shove. Otherwise…game over for them and it"s time for the next group to have a try on the Virtual Simulation machines. (Teehee~)
However, Jin had a firm belief that his Pandawans who had gone through so many battles were able to do at least cover their weapon with chi and perform to be a cut above the usual. So, for them and only for them, the Interim Leader of Daimon City had decided that it was better for the Pandawans to be thrown in the baptism of fire in the Eastern front.
Only after they were able to clear the Forest Trolls then they would return to a.s.sist the Western portion of Daimon city. Also, Jin did not expect that a record number of Pandawans would appear. Xiong Da was a definite but not only Bu Dong"s group was here as Bin Yong"s mates as well as Yue Han"s sister, Yue Wen, and her pals were present too. This also meant that Se Lang and Deng Long were with them too.
This was nearly enough to make a small platoon even though a battle company section would be more appropriate. It is just that Jin wanted to make his cultivators feel special especially when he boasted how his reinforcements would come to save the day.
"The mission briefing is as follows. The City of Daimon under the Central District of the Empire, currently being overseen by Archduke d.y.k.e who had appointed Major Jin, the Lord of Mount Sunn as the Interim leader of Daimon City, is currently being under siege by a surprise horde from the East and the West." The announcement continued on but the Pandawans could not help and chuckle at the nonsense that was being sprouted from the announcer. (Even though it was real for Jin!)
"Did Jin hit his head while cultivating enlightenment to get this kind of nonsense out?" Yue Wen, the Healing Maiden Cultivator asked and everyone merely continued to grin as the announcement stated the objectives.
"Landing Pod 01 handling Platoon Pandawans would be scheduled to drop at the coordinates Lat.i.tude 37.558 and Longitude 126.987 where the platoon will be a.s.sisting the Eastern Daimon a.s.sault Forces with the fight against a monster horde of Forest Trolls. After clearing, please head to the Western Front to join with the rest and a.s.sist with the defence."
"Only Forest Trolls?" Bu Dong asked and everyone felt like he was attempting to jinx their runs as usual. "What? I thought we needed more information that was why I asked!"
"Wait. Wait a minute." Bin Yong suddenly interrupted. "What do you mean by that last sentence?"
"Huh?" s.h.i.+ Zuo also started thinking back about what was said but the so called speaker did not reply to them. Instead, it only wished good luck to the people that were in the current landing pod as they could feel that they were currently going to be exported from the flying air station they were currently on and down to the said coordinates that had been given out by the announcement previously.
And to solidify the matter at hand, they started to see that other landing pods had already been launched from the floating sky station they were at and it looked like they were moving through to the Western front instead of the Eastern Front which the announcement had stated. (Although if they were to look carefully, they were going to be placed closer to the Southern part of Daimon City and move in to aid the Western Front as Jin had ordered the System to do so. For the Pandwans…not so much.)
"s.h.i.+t! Is it because we are Pandawans? That"s why we are being pushed to another portion of the fight?" Yue Han said and he looked anxiously at Bu Dong. But before the Angry Ape Cultivator was able to make any noise, there was a loud blaring sound and a very heavy jerk that caused the landing pod to be detached from the floating sky station they were from and down to a different side from where all the landing pods were supposed to go.
