Chapter 1603 Interim Leader Of Daimon City -Part 7



But this was not the same.

Precisely because this was a modern city, there were no walls to speak of as the 'wall' they had, had already been taken down by the Crystal Dragon Mechanoid which flew through the barrier and went to overload it, indirectly destroying the barrier generator, causing their wall to be destroyed. There was nothing else the city engineers can do other than to force their opinions to the higher up, requesting to build new generators since replacing the generators would be an easier job than repairing the current barriers.

However, given the short notice that they had been given, the priority to creating those barriers was initially put on hold for the deployment of weapons and other arsenals. Of course, it would be best that the creation of the barrier generator was of utmost importance but considering how it is taking most of the city resources, the leaders especially Jin felt that it makes more sense to utilise the engineers to create makeshift defences instead of focusing their output on the barrier.

This was mainly due to the fact that the engineers needed to focus a bulk of the city's remaining factories' production to create the parts without any interruptions. So it was better to concentrate on sending the weapons as well as finish outfitting the half done Mechanoids so that they could at least contribute to the war against the monster outbreak rather than leaving them hanging.

It was only certain that all of their current production was done that the engineers and factory workers focused on recreating the barrier generators. If what Jin said was true, by expecting zero help from their neighbours also meant that it literally created a wall around Daimon City territory and the monsters had no other place to go other than the dead centre of Daimon City. And so far, the engineers had been receiving information that no other resources or trade routes would be happening with their surrounding cities, forcing them to fend for themselves. 

Thankfully, it is because the situation happened at Daimon City, there were stockpiles of material that the engineers can utilise. So, it was after the priority allocation of materials for the new barrier generator that the rest of the material had been redistributed throughout the entire city to create the makeshift defences. Thus, the only way to win this outbreak was to buy enough time for the generators to be built, send to their destinations safely and the time to install those generators.

This was assuming they did not need redundancies which Jin insisted that more time be spent creating an additional barrier regenerator for all cardinal positions where the generators had been operating in the event that it did not work. "There would be no time to backtrack, so produce enough spare parts to make sure that if anything goes wrong, you can hotfix it on site."

One of the lead engineers questioned whether it was really viable for them to create such redundancies in lieu of the situation, citing that the soldiers might not have the strength and luxury of time to hold the line.

"Then, I shall return that question with another question. What makes you think that the time saved would make any difference? If the soldiers are not able to hold that it also means that it will be a matter of time for the monsters to make their way to the factories too. And this meant the plan to replace the barrier generators would be a no go at all. So, all I can say is focus. Focus on creating those redundancies and we can be sure that those barrier generators can be replaced properly without hiccups." Jin replied and the chief engineer kept silent, knowing that what their current interim leader said made sense. 

If the waves of monsters already made their way to the centre, it would be best to abandon the idea of putting the generators back. Instead, if such a situation developed, they could reverse engineer the barrier generators to be a bomb, destroying the monsters that would be within range of the barrier generators aka when the monsters had succeeded in overcoming the soldiers and surrounding the factories.

Yet, with the concern of the barrier generators that had been discussed, most of the leaders and even military ones are concerned about how Jin was going to take care of the fact that the Daimon City is vulnerable to all sides since they had no physical barrier to block at all. Building makeshift walls would not be useful as well and this was a problem that even the military leaders had a major conundrum to this entire dilemma. 

"It's not a very difficult problem to solve if you know the basics of warfare,"  Jin said as if it was insulting each and every military leader that was on the conference call with him. 

"What do you mean exactly?"

"So far, the monsters are still attracted to the monster lure and had been gathering their strength by waiting for more of their companions to come out of the shithole they were coming out from. The drone surveillance showed that much as well. So, we have a few options. It's to destroy the monster lure as quickly as possible for the West side since my Grey Bears are handling the East side, we have effectively reduced the outbreak to one particular direction. 

"Of course, from what I learn from several monster experts, the appearance of a dungeon outbreak may ultimately influence the nearby dungeons as well. But the fact that my team is pushing hard to clear the east side as we speak, we should be able to focus our forces at the West side while preparing for an all side invasion should things go awry and all the dungeons have their outbreaks influenced by the West."

"So, you are stating the offence is the best defence while preparing our defences at home?" One of the leaders asked and Jin nodded his head. The second wave of frontline troops would assist in building the defences, by creating and placing explosives around the city AND marking them. If not imagine how a random citizen walks by and goes kaboom. In any case, yes. The first wave of frontline troops would move in to intercept the monster outbreak as well as station a few troops to the dungeons to make sure they don't come out."

"I see. So you want to stop the outbreak by entering the Variant dungeon instead even though it meant certain death to several soldiers and Mechanoids." 

"After all, an outbreak cannot happen if someone is trying to challenge it, right? All they had to do is to endure the first floor upon clearing the monsters outside the dungeon for I heard correctly, as long as the monsters by the dungeon were all killed, the soldiers can finally challenge it."

"But the flaws! We cannot provide proper artillery support or air support. Everything has to be relying on the ground troops themselves." 

"About that... I think I might have a secret ace under my sleeve which would no doubt provide to be useful for this situation..." Jin smiled.
