Chapter 1668 Daimon Aftermath -Final
"So, under the guise of old equipment, container trucks and cargo planes can move unimpeded, with the manifest as just repairs or storage. When in reality, they are moving out new tanks and equipment to those places he wished to make an uprising."
"Yes, and the Northern Duke should not have any qualms since Mount Sunn was a derelict place, to begin with my existence and he will think that if the Archduke is throwing old equipment at Mount Sunn, it's more merely a courtesy to keep me alive there. They would not think so much. Plus we can do repairs for the Northern Army and bugged their equipment."
"That's rather sneaky," Jin said but Old Flammet laughed.
"More like I learnt that from you."
"Don't say that, I am a bad influence." Jin and Old Flammet joked and they understood that Archduke Dyke was serious about toppling down the Royal Empire but it needs time and time was not at their side. Especially not at Jin's side as he wants to return to his real world and get certain things done. Considering the fact that the Virtual Simulation is not going anywhere and the time moves slower than Jin's World, it would be good if he can start to have a way out of the simulation first and come back to it later.
"In any case, I am genuinely interested in that regenerative metal. Will look forward to that." Old Flammet said to conclude the conversation but Jin shook his head.
"I seen and used better ones back at my world, do not be overly obsessed with this. Just… a word of advice." Jin said and they turned the channel off.
And that was when Jin had returned to more meetings by the other Daimon Officials.

"Ever since Jin had to take charge of the Aftermath, there is really nothing we can do." Click said and Diaz snorted.
"Are you saying that you missed the times when Jin forced you into slave labour and get you to work like a dog?" Diaz replied and Click threw a rubber bullet at her face which Diaz caught by inserting it into her arm and shooting it back through her index finger. Her class as the Gunzerker had opened up new possibilities for storing bullets in her body but that also mean that there was some compromise when it comes to melee combat since those bullets takes up space.
It was not as if she would be able to crash people with hollow spaces in her body and she is possibly one of the few within the team that would be the most vulnerable when it comes to damage. Of course, it solely depends on what kind of ammunition she was carrying that might constitute such a risk.
If all she was carrying were rubber bullets, there was nothing to worry about but if its ammunition like dragon's breath or even 40mm large calibre explosive ammunition for grenade launchers then perhaps she would be a tad more vulnerable than usual.
Of course, with those in mind, she had started to pack in a little more armour. The Regenerative Metal did eventually reach to the Grey Bears because they were close to the Jin and the System. This made Diaz want the Regenerative Metal plates so badly but she knew that it would not be possible until the future.
So for now, she had requested to have some additional armour plating on her arms, back, side torso and even her legs. (As long as it does not remove her mobility.)
"Or we could just help Lynn for dinner. Mr Eggy would probably make a mess and she would need a more… normal helper?" Tellie said as she was cleaning her rifles.
"You guys can go ahead, I am still checking on the battles to see where we can improve." Yinn said but despite giving such an option, the monster called laziness in them were not going to move at all despite them being Mechanoids.
"Looks like no one is going to move huh?" Page who was working at the side read the entire commotion. "Then if that's the case, why don't you people help me with-"
"I think Lynn needs help." Diaz was the first to move to the door and Click followed subsequently which only left Yinn and Tellie in the room.
"That always work no matter what. Bravo, Page. Bravo." Tellie smiled as she gave a slow clap.
"Its not the first day you know them. But now that those two rascals are gone. I do really need your opinion on the plan of attack since you two are the seniors in the squad." Page said and Yinn tilted her head a little.
"Plan of attack? What are we attacking? There had been no orders from Jin or is this some Black Ops?" Yinn said as she stop checking the laptop and moved towards Page's.
"Parry City Scouts had shared this information to us as a sort of courtesy -though I see it that they want to shove this responsibility to us." Page said as she tapped the screen to be bigger for Yinn and Tellie who was at the side to see.
"Those are…"
"Tracks. From a Dragon."
"No fucking way." Tellie finally put her rifle down and went to take a closer look.
"We had ID the size of the footprint and the destruction it had done in the surrounding terrain. It matches the dimensions of the Mechanical Crystal Dragon punches through the Research Labs." Page said.
"Up to this day, I still regret not destroying that thing." Yinn said while she slowly put her head down with guilt.
"Its not your fault. We wanted to move up to the top as soon as possible. Besides we thought that the Mechanical Crystal Dragon could be use for future operations. We did not expect that it could do such things since we have no prior intel."
"But hey, even if it is truly the Mechanical Crystal Dragon. Why are there no traces of any Crystal Scale Droppings or even crystallisation of the area?"
"Then instead of a plan of attack, its more like a plan for investigation." Yinn remarked and the two nodded their heads.
