Within an instant, Jin's words turned to reality as they found themselves not in the underground basement anymore. Instead, they were being teleported to Daimon City or rather, a copy of Daimon City.
There were no people or Mechanoids walking around and all that was left were the intact high rise buildings with streets empty and well lit. For some reason, Jin kept thinking it was still nighttime and thus created a dungeon instance that mimicked the night.
As for the Fira Dragon and the other Mecha Fire Dragons, they felt liberated even though it was a copied space and most of them spread their wings to feel the breeze of the wind going through. The only problem was that there was no breeze at all. It felt empty, felt rigid. They thought they had been teleported out of the underground basement and their logic circuits recognised that this was a city but a few blaring alarms within their AI logic stated that this was not how a city should feel.
It felt dead and... Dangerous.
"Where is that battlecruiser of yours? That pew pew pew?" Diaz said as she was expecting a battle cruiser to come out the moment they arrived at the dungeon instance just as how Jin had done it previously."
But no. Instead, she started to hear footsteps.
Not one, not two.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMultiple footsteps.
Hundreds of footsteps.
Thousands of footsteps.
Despite the well lit streets, they came from the side of the buildings and when they assembled orderly in front of Jin, there were no words coming out from Diaz or the rest of the Mechanoids.
"My Lord. It's good to see you." The person bowed while the thousands of soldiers behind him knelt to greet him.
"It's been a long time. Taris City General Yaega Nern. I hope your wall breaker lance is not dull for the enemies in front of you deserved a good poke." Jin smiled widely as he was fed up with the lack of manpower he had been having for the past few hours. It took some time but the System was able to gather the powers of Seven Cities into this very dungeon instance.
Seven Mecha Dragons? Then let the might of the Seven Cities shine the path to victory.
"We were extremely afraid that we were of no use to you, Lord Jin." General Yaega said. And Jin chuckled.
"Well, you may now prove your usefulness against these monsters. They are a hell of a pain in the neck and have been troubling me for the past few days. I remembered that you guys are well versed in killing Dragons, right? I mean Dungeon World sure had a fair share of them."
"Fair share? You must be kidding me." Merah City General Ana, the proclaimed Angel of Fire walked towards Jin and greeted him. "We kill dragons for a living and dine on their flesh every night."
"That's great. Too bad these dragons do not have meat that would be palatable to your tastes." Jin replied.
"All the more better. This means we do not need to give any mercy to them and smash them in pieces." General Ana said as Bodek General Edgar also came to give his regards to Jin.
"My Lord, Bodek Troops had been placed in the buildings as per the System's recommendations. We are ready to fight."
"Then I assume Aljun City had sent their airships over as well?" Jin asked and General Edgar nodded his head.
"They had been revamped with Pandapolis's latest technology and are eager to try it out.
"What about the naval guys? Erm if I am not wrong, City Eun, Lebar and Kemban. I had put up a rather huge sea ring around the city in this dungeon to utilise them"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"They are also ready to battle them should the Mecha Fire Dragons try to escape away from the City." General Ana reported and Jin was happy with the progress.
"And what are we waiting for? Those Mecha Dragons don't seem particularly happy that I brought more people to hunt it down. I need a rest. Please kill them within erm…10 minutes?" Jin looked at his timer and saw that he had more than ten but it was better to have some spare time to do any emergency adjustments.
For now, he could use the jet boosters and climb to the top of a high rise building and watch the armies he had helped grow and cultivate to kill those annoying Mecha Fire Dragons. Compared to just now where he only had 5 Mechanoids, now he had thousands who were willing to rush and sacrifice their lives to beat the tin can out of the skies.
"Hey, Grey Bear Squad. Meet me at Daimon Headquarters helipad. The 50th floor's, not the top one. We can enjoy some rest and eat some snacks...assuming you guys have any" Jin said as the Seven Cities Army had already started to move and charge towards the Mecha Fire Dragons as he spoke.
"You know that big ass battlecruiser is probably a better idea," Diaz remarked.
"I can only do that once, to be honest. Because that is not my erm..asset? If I want to use it again, I probably have to spend more money on it. (or points.)" Jin did not know how to say it as this was created with Syn's permission as the AI Administration gave the model of their old human combat ship as data for Jin to use.
"It will get shot down by the Fira Dragon anyway. They might be big but they are nimble as well. Using an army to fight them would definitely be a better choice." Yinn said as she was the first to reach the helipad for such a view.
"But the problem is… fifteen minutes truly enough for the fight?" Tellie had also reached with her jet boosters and grappling hook gun.
"Meh. I still have a bit of stuff up my sleeves… So I think we should be okayish. Anyways, have confidence in them. They have never seen a battle for some time (…well any summoned battle.) so they are quite hungry for victory. Besides, I really want to see their progress since I left them with my other aides."
"No wonder you hated your job. You are already a Lord in your other world." Click remarked and everyone finally relaxed and laughed.
