Chapter 1684 Who Will Know? -Part 6
"How's the imagery from the Floating Sky Station? Is the connection smooth enough?" Jin said as he walked into the War Room with General Ost sitting at the main War Room table.
"What happened to the stuffy old men?" Jin asked as he pulled up his sleeves and folded them up.
"You clearly did not like them so they had decided to retire themselves away from the war room. General Grieves and I are your new stuffy old men. However, Grieves had decided to go to the frontlines to man the operations."
"Sir. The connection is stable now." The Central Defence Officer reported and Jin opened it up even though he knew the System had the connection all ready via his console. However, this time, it would be better to have this Floating Sky Station work in tandem with Daimon's operation.
And the scene was not as ideal as he expected it to be.
They thought that the Mechanical Dragon would at least arrive in the city, and survey it a little before throwing some fireworks. Now, it was not just throwing fireworks but it seemed to be targeting key locations. The Lord's mansion was one of them and the next was their headquarters. If not for the immensely huge flora that surrounds it, their command headquarters would have already been burning but whether they can survive or not depends on how aggressive the Mechanical Dragon could be.
However, what they were more surprised about was that the Empire's Mechanical Dragon managed to bypass the city's barrier which indicated that the barrier algorithm had somehow identified it as a friendly rather than a foe. It wasn't until the first few hits had gone through that Parry City managed to update the barrier algorithm so that it managed to block the subsequent hits.
Still, that did not mean they were safe as even the Parry City military knew that it was only a matter of time before the barrier would be torn down.
"People are fleeing and some have brazenly entered Daimon's territory without any fear of consequences." The Central Defence Officer reported.
"That had already been expected, let them in but in an orderly manner, and be sure to at least take their credentials. If they have no identification, we have no choice but to detain them first." Jin said and the officers relayed Jin's orders to the frontline.
Additional makeshift immigration offices had already been prepared within the northern region while the actual border offices had their doors open for those who were already trying to flee into Daimon.
They had no idea that Daimon was actually preparing for such an event as they saw how Mechanoids were directing them to the various immigration offices as well as detention camps. The Mechanoids were apologetic but a rule is a rule in which the Parry Citizens were a little unhappy and yet at the same time relieved that they managed to get out of Parry City.
Yet, the detention camps were not as horrific as they thought. It's just that they needed to be tagged and processed to ensure they have a valid temporary pass to remain in Daimon City for the rest of the duration when this entire thing was occurring.
After which, the Daimon military was seen preparing the blankets and a basic package of amenities for the Parry City Citizens while appointing them areas where they could rest within the Northern Region.
Word of Daimon's generosity spread like wildfire just as how the fire within the city started to creep to other buildings because of the intense flora the city had. But at this time, firefighter planes had already taken off from Daimon's airfield and been consistently requesting clearance for Parry City's permission to enter their airfield.
It was to the point they were at the very edge of the airfield that Parry City finally gave clearance, allowing the firefighter planes to enter to help with the firefighting efforts. Rescue helicopter also came in flocks and Parry City Military's higher up finally realised the intention of Daimon.
They had given enough hints and clues that they were preparing for a disaster despite the build up of military presence right beside their border and the Parry City Military kept assuming that they were a ruse for an actual invasion. It was only until they started seeing actual rescue efforts being carried out at a moment's notice shown that they were anticipating this particular attack for the past few days.
Daimon was their ally and not the aggressor and a few of their senior commanders were already petitioning to their Generals if Daimon could officially join the fight against the threat of the Mechanical Dragon.
Some of the higher ups were still not convinced that Daimon's actions were genuine but a few of the military officers especially the Air Force had sufficient proof that Daimon was here to help and they immediately communicated with the Daimon Military Intelligence for a collaborative effort.
"Huh, at least the Air Force is not stupid and they can catch on quickly. Tell them as long as they allow us unlimited access to their airspace, we will continue to provide assistance both in support and combat roles. Looks like Sir Peru Peru isn't the only supposed good guy," Jin said and the order was relayed immediately.
"You are giving them air superiority? Are you insane? Have you forgotten that the Mechanical Dragon is a problem that we should solve alone! If Daimon investigates on this after we put it down, we will be in a lot of trouble!" The Army General said but the Air Force General of Parry City refused to listen to his counterpart.
"I do not care. If I need to be court martial for increasing the chances for the citizens of Parry City to live. I will do it." Air Force General Inus stated and told his tactical officers to follow his orders and only his orders. "Send the information through public Broadcast that Daimon City is offering temporary asylum and they can head for the borders immediately."
"Yes, Sir!" The tactical officers also knew that the citizens had a better chance of survival if they moved into Daimon mainly because of how the city would be in flames and those shelters would eventually be an oven stove, roasting the people alive from within.
