Number One Dungeon Supplier



As soon as Daimon had been given assurance that they had unlimited access to their airspace, more helicopters and even the helicarrier that 2LT Cloudie had been using were being sent to Parry City to aid the citizens. Helicopters from Parry City Military were also given clearance to bring their citizens into Daimon and the skies were full of traffic.

The evacuation scene which was supposed to be orderly became slightly more chaotic as more and more people decided that Daimon was a safe place to run away to compared to staying in Parry City. 

Propaganda? Or the Power of Mass Media. For the past two days, people had been seeing how Daimon had been gathering its military strength in the name of creating the Dungeon Outpost which was obviously a big lie. All the neighbouring cities condemned Daimon for brandishing their military and Parry City Citizens kept shouting vulgarities at them, scolding them for being such pompous arseholes. But because of that 'lie' and precisely due to that lie, people scrutinised had seen how prepared Daimon had been in those two days. 

In fact, they did not even hide what they had been trying to do and they were doing everything they could to show that they were not preparing to invade Parry City at all. That was why when the alarms rang, the ones nearest to the border suddenly realised what Daimon had been doing all this while. 

And thus, they fled despite all the criticism they had for Daimon. And when they were ready to beg, to plea for entrance, the Daimon military which they had cursed and offended, opened their gates and gave them what they needed: Safety.

Now with the technology that they had possessed to criticise, they were telling everyone within the city and mass media to as many people as they could to run to Daimon for safety and that Daimon City can protect them. It was a 180 degree change that the neighbouring cities had no idea of. 

Some tried to escape through the other cities because they were nearer to them but their neighbouring cities were denying them stating that they could not accept refugees unless their lords gave them permission. When all hope was lost, the Parry City citizens started seeing that neighbouring cities' border control there were Armoured Trucks running by.

At first, they thought that they were going to be captured and detained for making a ruckus until they saw that those people who came out were employees from Diamondz Corp. They stated that they would be providing shuttle services to the neighbouring cities' airports where they would be brought to Daimon. However, if they were to escape and run anywhere else, they would be considered illegal immigrants and the city they were in would persecute them. 

Those Parry City Citizens could not imagine the joy they had when they knew they had a place to go and they listened to Diamondz Corp each and every step so that they could get out of the city safely. It was a deal struck by Denise with the various border controls and it seemed that it had paid off well now that they saw it in action. 

The only shocking thing was that the neighbouring cities once again did not bother to lift a finger up for Parry City and decided to stay neutral. To Jin who was overseeing the rescue operation, it was already better than the Daimon incident where they decided to even shut their doors and barriers.

"I think you know why they wished to cooperate," Denise said before the start of this operation and Jin laughed. "Perhaps, I will think about it whether to cut their Tariffs if they allow us to operate."

But even as Daimon wished to focus on just the rescue portion, the Mechanical Dragon was not going to give them any quarters to breathe. It slammed right into the barrier and thankfully, it managed to stop its tracks but a portion of the claws managed to get through it. 

The anti air defences which Parry City Military had installed hastily in the past two days, automatically locked onto their target and started to throw as much as it could against the portions of the dragon which had managed to get through the barrier. It was the only time those defences would be effective since the dragon would be stationary due to it being stuck on the barrier.

In the meantime, the Parry City Military was diverting as much energy as it could to the area where the dragon was stuck so that the barrier could hold as long as possible. A minute, or even a second longer meant the possibility for another citizen to run to safety. 

In the meantime, as the air defences were doing their best against the Mechanical Dragon, the soldiers manning those emplacements heard loud screeching noises from behind them only to find Daimon had also sent fighter jets to shoot precision guided penetrators to break the Mechanical Dragon parts. 

Sure enough, the penetrators worked but what they did not expect was that the Mechanical Dragon was able to regenerate its arm just like how Jin fought those Tri-Rexes. Also, in order to classify it much more easily, they decided to call it Mecha Fire Dragon for easier reference since the Crystal Dragon was still out there in the wild and they had confirmed this was not the one. (well duh)

Yet even though the arms and claws needed time to regenerate, the prolonged duration outside of the barrier enabled the Daimon Fighter Jets to do a more daring attack. They flew out of the barrier as well and did a diving bomb run using the electrical bombs that had been used against the Metal Ogres before.

However, the Mecha Fire Dragon did not hesitate to use his fire breath projectiles to destroy the slow dropping electrical bombs before they reached their targets, rendering the effect almost useless. It did however seem to messed up its sensors as an electrical bomb dropped quite near it before it exploded from the fireball attack, allowing one bomb to go through and hit its body. 

It was pretty effective but the fighter jets realised it was not doing enough damage since the regeneration was allowing it to grow back. And when Jin saw through the surveillance that it could regrow back arms and had destructive powers to boot, his only reaction was just this. 

"Aw Shit. Here we go again."
