Chapter 1679 Who Will Know? -Part 1
"And we will lose one of our economic partners or maybe the most major economic partner at the moment due to this unfortunate event," Grieves commented.
"So either way, it's optimal that we defeat it before it reaches the city or we duked it out at the outskirts of the city to have the best outcome?" Jin said and all three nodded their heads. They were all at wits' end until Jin asked a random question.
"Our soldiers…the ones that that were marching back to Daimon from their attack of Mount Sunn. I also assume they are coming back from Parry City since they are trekking from the north, right?"
"Parry City is indeed the most ideal route back because of our recent friendliness with us. We had asked previously and they had stated that they were not going to put up a toll for our returning expedition. However, the fastest they could return is within a week."
"How so? That time when I needed to defend Mount Sunn from them, they arrived quite quickly."
"This was because most of the equipment and soldiers were flown to that destination. Now we have injured soldiers, broken vehicles, and a bruise to our military expenses, it was more pertinent that we save money on the trip back. Thus, they are marching back slowly to ensure that quick fixes of the vehicles and machinery were done and the injured were taken care of on the way back." General Ost said.
"We can ask them to quicken their march back but I have no guarantees that would work. The trail back is not exactly the most developed. Most of the transportation would be backlogged due to the size of our returning army and going any faster without proper coordination with various cities would cause the army to be jammed as well." General Grieves stated and Jin somehow understood that the logistics for the military can be a nightmare and that he was thankful he got the System to handle his minions.
"Not to mention, the cities would ask what's the rush and might need some greasing of their palms for the miracle to happen. The problem is that those greasing of palms is merely the permission for the miracle to happen and now making the miracle to happen." Commander Eggshells remarked.
"I guess, we can choose a platoon perhaps? The elite of the most elite to rush down to Parry City if you really want forces." General Ost yawned as he said that but it was pretty obvious, that he was saying that because there was nothing that could work at the moment and nothing good came out of his mind.
"If we want to push a platoon into Parry City, it would be much easier if we send our troops from Daimon to their city. It would be much easier and the soldiers would not be exhausted. But I do get your point." Grieves stated and noted the hopelessness."
"Nevertheless, it's quite apparent that we cannot rely on the soldiers returning back once more," Jin said and then this made Grieves ask a few questions in return which he could not wrap his mind around.
"Why are we doing this? Actually, risking out our troops and our people for the sake of defeating the Empire Mechanical Dragon? I understand that we are doing this to destroy the Mechanical Crystal Dragon but this isn't it." Grieves' questions got even more thought invoking. "If it's the Empire's dragon, shouldn't the main Empire army come in to defeat it if it causes harm to Parry City? Furthermore, why are we destroying an Empire related unit when we are part of the Empire? Or did Parry City do something which incurred the wrath of the Empire and they actually dispatched an Empire Dragon as …orthodoxically as it is to release a banned Mechanoid to fight against…never mind I somehow feel my mind had been fucked up from the lack of sleep from the past few days."
"Huh, I think I roughly understand where Grieves had been coming from but at the same time, there could be an assumption that the Empire Dragon could have been released by other nations and they slapped the Empire's crest on it." General Ost deduced.
"Alternative, if Parry City is trying to hide it so much. There might be a chance that Parry City is actually creating all of these Empire Dragons at the expense of their city's budget to be in the good grace of the Empire. But now they fucked up, and they are trying to clean up the mess before anyone else saw it." Commander Eggshells gave his own version.
Jin was already a goner when he started seeing stars from all these old men conspiracy theories but he felt that Eggshell's theory might have been one that hold the most water.
"Wait a minute. So, you are looking at it this way then there is a chance that the Empire wants to build Mechanical Dragons and are getting various corporations to build these dragons under the guise of research or whatever crap as if its some competition." General Grieves added to the theory.
"If that is true, then what is the motive or endpoint for the Empire? Why are they doing this to make more chaos for the country? Or is this some last defence ditch in case the Empire gets invaded by a stronger force?" Grieves added and the other two started to think about the consequences and Jin remembered why he hated meetings.
