Number One Dungeon Supplier

Most of the officers even Jin did not expect the massive sky nets to be of such deterrence. They had seen a number of Metal Ogres fainted or killed from the attack and the interval runs of electric bombs along with the net sent shocks to the entire formation of Metal Ogres.

This really gave the Western Front sufficient time to run away from Defensive Line 1 but General Grieves refused to let it be totally empty. He had decided to sacrifice the 200 Mechanoids that Archduke Dyke had given to Daimon City as reinforcements to stall more time. These two hundred Mechanoids were positioned at various distances from Line 1 to Line 2 and they were tasked to lure the enemy as much as they could.

While the Western Front positioned themselves, the Metal Ogres who emerged fresh from the Dungeon Entrance now started to help the Metal Ogres trapped within the nets so they could get out of it.

For the Fighter Planes, they were so inclined to shoot the bunker buster bombs at them but Jin did not give them the approval, stating that it was a waste of budget. However, the excuse was deeper than that. He was worried that the Metal Ogres' morale would drop and disperse upon the drop of the bomb. That would make things harder since the Western Front was nowhere near them and the ones cornering them right now were the remnants of the Eastern Daimon Assault Force and the Pandarens.

Both equally tired from the fights, they did not expect the night to be this long but if they had the chance of finishing this as soon as possible, the better. The dispersion of Metal Ogres would not only increase their morale when they get to kill tired combatants but also the difficulty of tracking them through the forests that littered all around Daimon City.

So as the fresh Metal Ogres were able to aid with the existing Metal Ogres, they rallied again once more to charge through the Defensive Line 1. The Mechanoids left in the area continued to attract them with suppressive fire and they were lured by it just as they were lured by the Monster Lure.

Soon, the slow charge became an unstoppable charge and all the fresh Metal Ogres tried their best to follow them too. What they did not expect was that when the formation of Metal Ogres had started bulldozing the area, the Eastern Daimon Assault Force and Pandarens coordinated to cover the gap as quietly as possible and also block the 'creation' of more Metal Ogres as a specialised team of soldiers had already entered the Dungeon Entrance.

Once that was done, they eliminated the stragglers to ensure that they could not join the formation group. "Interim Leader, The Western Dungeon Entrance has been secured." General Ost sent a personal message to him.

"Great, now all that is left is for Grieves to do his job and hopefully the Metal Ogres are as idiot as we think they are," Jin said as he monitored closely how the monsters still ran a straight line through Defensive Line 1, killing any Mechanoids stationed in the area.

It was a small sacrifice to be made as cannon fodder but it was for the bigger picture when the mines and explosives that finally started to activate. Grieves had purposely deactivated the mines remotely and only waited until the bulk of the Metal Ogre Formation was within Line 1 and Line 2 before activating them. This caused a series of loud beeps in the area without the Metal Ogres not knowing what was it for and it exploded simultaneously. Glorious explosions had been enhanced with the random explosives that had been littered around the area too.

However, this was not the end of it. Between Line 1 and Line 2 laid blocks of partially constructed buildings that had not been fully built. This allowed the Western Front to put explosives in those buildings as well in such a way that they would topple sidewards. And down into the road where they had attempted to direct the Metal Ogres. They also placed sufficient obstacles to make sure that it was just a one way street so that the Metal Ogres could not go anywhere else. That was why when the Metal Ogres moved through Line 1 to Line 2, there could only be one way forward especially with the Mechanoids attracting their fire.

And with the initial glorious explosion that caused the soldiers to yell in hopes that those explosives worked, General Grieves had already commanded the partially built buildings to be toppled down so that. The initial explosion of mines and littered explosives was to make the monsters stay in their tracks so that the toppling of buildings were which needed time to fall was able to do so without too much waste of time that it could force the Metal Ogres to disperse and escape it.

But since they had been stopped by the mines, those buildings that fell on them were a secondary effect that compounded their misery.

If a bullet could not hurt them then perhaps a falling building should at least injure them or maybe kill them in the process, right? The rest saw the success of the falling buildings as a victory but Grieves was not satisfied with the outcome.

"Do not be complacent! Grieves shouted and told the soldiers to equip themselves with the stockpiles of shotguns that Defensive Line 2 had.

The officers in the command centre were also cheering and Jin was in the same vibes Grieves. "We are not yet done. Denise, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Jin. I have it prepared and there are helicopters on standby to bring it there." Denises, the CEO of Diamondz Corp said.

"Excellent. I will tell Grieves about it." Jin still felt his shoulders tense. But if they were able to complete the next phase, then perhaps, this battle would be truly over.
