Chapter 1638 Defending Daimon -Part 27
"You…"
"Lost your tongue the period when I am gone?" Jin said as he sat on the end of the table with all those military council old men grumbling. Instead, it was the officers who were relieved to know that Jin was back and their trust in him was renewed and doubled.
"What"s the situation, report," Jin said even though he knew what was going on. All he wanted to do was to goad at these useless old men for not being able to do anything but just to get power. Eventually, even all the adamant officers under them started to listen to Jin as he was the person who was getting stuff done.
"The Western Front is holding back but they are eating up a lot of artillery sh.e.l.ls. They are requesting for more to be sent to their front." The Western Front Officer reported.
"Start diverting the artillery sh.e.l.ls from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. I a.s.sume the trains are up and ready to move, right?" Jin asked
"Yes, Sir." The Eastern Front Officer replied.
"Great. Get 15% of the stockpile first and tell the Eastern Group to use their artillery wisely after that."? Jin ordered and both of those logistics officers nodded their heads, acknowledging his command.
"The Eastern Front had seen an uptick of Forest Trolls when everyone had…erm teleported to somewhere. However, with the Eastern Front forces back in action, the total amount had decreased drastically. Conservative estimates stated that approximately 30% of the original Forest Trolls were left."
"And the Eastern Front better clean it up before midnight especially since we have started raiding the Eastern Daimon Dungeon," Jin said and the Eastern Front Officer acknowledged. "Oh, and tell them to use focus fire at this location if possible."
Jin opened his console and released the information by swiping it through the consoles. "This is the location of the brain where the organ regenerates the cells. Based on the information we have gotten, It becomes larger with the moonlight. So, a single bullet is not enough to destroy it. Use slugs or lots of bullets into that. Incendiary bullets work fine too."
"How did you even get this information?" The officer was in awe of Jin"s findings.
"I personally killed a few and took them apart on the way back." Jin lied so badly but the officers could imagine that was what Jin did while in actuality, it was the System that a.n.a.lysed the heads once Jin had killed them. The officers were a little speechless at how Jin had operated but regardless, the information that they had would be vital as the Mechanoids would prefer precise information for their targets for them to be efficient killing machines.
"What nonsense!" One of the old men slammed on the table, he could not accept that Jin was doing things like some miracle worker. "Can you believe him, just took them apart and he already knows where the weakness is? What kind of bulls.h.i.+t is that?"
But before he could complain any further, the Eastern Front officer immediately sounded off that the tip was effective. An a.s.sault Mechanoid had rushed in and aimed at the location where the organ supposedly resided. "It was a one shot kill with a shotgun slug!" The officer stated with excitement and all of the Eastern Front Officers cheered as if to vindicate Jin"s a.s.sessment of the Forest Troll"s weakness while downplaying the old man"s remarks.
"From the looks of it, I think you got to give me your pay, old man," Jin said as he leaned forward and stared at them while emitting an eminence of Maqi aura. Some of the old men could feel the pressure, especially for the ones who were sitting closest to him but they did not dare to bulge away, still stubborn to the core.
"Sir, the Logistics department has informed us that the trains are up and running. Once they are loaded, they are good to go." The Central Defence Officer stated.
"Good. But do not let your guard down. Remember that there were a few forest trolls that got away from the main group. These splinter groups might cause some problems. Once the main group has been killed, I will send out my Platoon Pandawan to look for these critters but tell the scouts to stay alert."
The Central Defence Officer noted and began relaying the information to the rest of the frontlines but the old men grumbled stating that Jin"s platoon better find those splinter groups of Forest Trolls fast or else they might stir up monsters from other dormant areas and create a horde again. The Central Defence Officers sighed and knew that the old men were also right at this aspect but they really needed morale boosters and not grumbles or complaints.
"Do not worry, currently my Grey Bear Squad is still in the city on standby while they are preparing for the night phase against the Metal Ogres," Jin said. "So the Western Front officers, please tell the soldiers to stay strong and be attentive to any changes to the behaviour of the monsters. Report any changes to us."
"Roger that!" The Western Front Officers said in unison and the old men were angry once again.
"What kind of plan are you cooking up again? Can"t you just teleport those Metal Ogres away like how you did for the Forest Trolls?" The old men asked but Jin pretended to be busy and continued to do his work.
"Heh! So that teleport is a one time trick? Then why did you even use it as such a useless enemy like the Forest Trolls when you have a.n.a.lysed them before hand?" The old men tried to be picky against Jin.
"Yea! If you know that is your trump card, shouldn"t you save it for a more important occasion like when those monsters had come too close for comfort? Or what if that Crystal Dragon came back to devastate us?"
Jin stopped his typing on his console and looked at all of them.
"Then, I will throw you guys as livestock for being incompetent fools that only know how to complain and not get s.h.i.+t done."
"Yet another insult! I am done with you!" One of them was so irritated that everything was going with Jin"s way.? "I am asking a vote of non confidence!"
