1652: Daimon Aftermath -Part 1

Daimon Aftermath -Part 1

"Then you should be glad that I am still your ally," Jin said and the other two gave a soft laugh before closing the communication lines. After Jin gave some extra information to the officers in the war room, they eventually saluted him and allowed him to rest in his quarters.1

As for the Grey Bears, they were waiting on standby a few rooms away from the Command War Room in case Jin needed them for something and 2LT Cloudie was also with them, yawning away trying to get some shut eyes in between the hours if possible.

"We are done for the day. Everyone can have some rest time and thanks Cloudie for staying." 

"I mean, after what I have been through and had been paid, I was a little guilty that I was not able to do anything else. So, it's fine going through circumstances like this." Cloudie shrugged it off and Jin said that Diamondz Corp had prepared a hotel room for Cloudie to stay in.

"Sweet. Thanks, boss." Cloudie thanked Jin once again before he left and there he briefed the Grey Bears on the situation.

"Do you think there will be retaliation from the other cities? This is probably the beginning." Yinn said and Jin nodded his head.

"I do not think that they will do anything about it. Considering the fact that there were a lot of eyes looking at us during the operation, they were also equally worried that the monsters would be uncontrollable.

"Does that mean they had eyes on you as well Commander? You did some pretty flashy moves too." Tellie asked but Jin could not answer that question.

"They have yet seen the best of me. So, it's fine if they manage to catch a glimpse of certain things. Although I did ask Denise to deploy some anti spying mechanism around the area. Hopefully, that works a little." 

"Also, if the surrounding cities dare to attack Daimon now at its most vulnerable, it's pretty obvious that they will be incurring Dyke's wrath. He might be away but if news got out, they had to suffer his wrath. Heard his army is one of the strongest out here."

"Of course, it is. If you think the Royal Guards selection is tough, The Archduke is even stricter mainly because of the number of things they had to do aside from guarding the Archduke's territory. Meanwhile, those Royal Guards do is just to hold the fort at the Empire. They stand guard more than they attack and defend stuff." Diaz exclaimed.

"The fact that the Archduke's army is mobilised before the Royal Guards also shows that they have more experience than the Royal Guards. No doubt the selection criteria is less stringent but to pass their exam is a nightmare even for mechanoids."

"For expendables, there are selection criteria for you guys too?" Jin asked

"Gah, to hear Jin say that we are expendables. Argh the pain." Click wallow in sorrow.

"Lol, then that 200 Mechanoids that Dyke gave, aren't they expendables? They did not have any faces like you guys and just a plain straight manufactured face." Jin tried to explain.

"Those are mass manufactured products which they kept as reserves in case they need numbers," Yinn replied.

"How weird…" Jin did not exactly understand how Dyke's army worked.

"Just take it as he had a personal army and he has an army that protects his own land. Those mass manufactured Mechanoids are from the army that protects the land." 

"Ew so double army? I cannot imagine the expenses needed." 

"That's why most places have to pay tribute to him and his personal army will do the job of cleansing monsters etc. The one that protects the land is not able to move as mobile as his personal army. But when it comes to invasion or territory disputes, the land army will kick in." Page answered and Jin got it. 

"Geez, Page explained it better than all of you." Click immediately showed her disgust while Diaz shrugged her shoulders. Yinn and Tellie did not care much.

"ANYWAYS! Thank you for working hard." Jin and the Grey Bears finally call it a day and they will take things one at a time. If the surrounding cities had been coerced to attack Daimon at their most vulnerable, they would no doubt be judged as well by other cities.

Eventually, the night passed rather quickly since there were only that many hours left before the sun rose. The drones and radar systems had confirmed that there were no other monster signals around the area, which meant that the City was finally under control.

Jin announced to the entire Daimon City that they were successful in repelling the monster outbreak and declared the first half of the day as a time of mourning for those soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the greater good. 

The Pandarens and Pandawans finally logged out only to find that the amount of time passed was minimal compared to what they had expected while there were still heck lot of people who wanted to test it out.

The System eventually collaborated with Syn to create a separate simulation based on past data to get other customers to test out the Virtual Simulation. The experiences they felt and what the initial batch felt were roughly the same just that Syn who was in possession of this separate simulation had decided to try out different stuff such as equipping the Forest Trolls the ability to carry weapons or increasing the speed of the Metal Ogres. 

As it did not affect the AI Administration's current Virtual Simulation, Both Syn and the System did not care what happened to the cultivators who were in that isolated Virtual Simulation. All they cared about was the data and whether the experience was smooth a not. 

Other than that, everyone who wanted to try it had at least 15-20mins worth of Jin's world time to play when they were inside for quite a fair bit. Nevertheless, when they came out, most of them were tired from the entire endeavour and left satisfied by the experience. 

It was a win win for everyone.
