Chapter 1678 Search For Crystal Dragon -Final

"General Ost, General Grieves, and Commander Eggshells?" The System asked for a double confirmation and Jin nodded.

"What\'s the matter?" All three were on the line connected but Jin did not explain much.

"It\'s better to say this in person. Convene to the War Room as soon as possible." Jin said and he was already in a car to take him to Daimon\'s Military Headquarters. Soon when Jin arrived, General Ost and Grieves were not in their usual uniform attire as they were about to return home. Commander Eggshells also came in non formal attire and Jin apologised for making them return to the base just barely an hour from coming out of the talks with regard to the preparation phase.

"Is this with regards to the situation at Parry City?" Grieves asked and Jin reluctantly nodded his head as if he was at his wit\'s end. He asked them to have a seat in the War Room where it was now awfully quiet compared to the day when they had their operation to keep Daimon safe from the monster outbreak.

"It\'s best to say this in person as the Grey Bear Squads have found evidence that might prove to be a sort of headache to us," Jin said as he showed the video that Click had managed to salvage from the dead Mechanoid.

"Is that…" General Ost pulled the video from Jin\'s holographic console and into his which he magnified and sharpened the video a little more to see that the beast was undoubtedly a dragon and its mechanical in nature. And worse of all, it had the Empire\'s mark on it.

"How is this a problem for us? Isn\'t our main concern the Mechanical Crystal Dragon? This is a Mechanical Dragon with an Empire crest." Commander Eggshells remarked and the other two Commanders also felt the same.

"The creation of non human Mechanoids had always been discouraged and we had already done a media coverup that this was all Edmond Diamondz fault when he transferred his consciousness into the Crystal Dragon. If not for the Monster Outbreak, Diamondz Corp would have to suffer an even harder blow trying to recover from that incident since we provided the bulk of the equipment. Now this is the best time to rise from the ashes if we were to show that it\'s the Empire that had been creating, then the fallout would be on them rather than be on Diamondz." Commander Eggshells stated.

"You mean, you want the Mecha Corp that had been allied with the Empire to take the blame? You know that\'s fighting against your rival, right?" General Ost asked

"You sure you want to pick a fight with Rocketeers? Your corporation might be one of the biggest in the Empire but to fight against the biggest of the biggest Mecha Corps is asking to be killed. A single command from them will force other Mecha Corps to go against you and even have cities set up an embargo against your goods. The Rocketeers is the Empire\'s main backbone of the army and you barely scare the surface." General Grieves argued.

"In fact, they could turn this around and say that the Mechanical Dragon might be the work of Diamondz since you have some connections to the Empire\'s factories and labs. And for the fact that we just let loose a Crystal Dragon, which is an even worse version of a simple Mechanical Dragon would invite even more scrutiny against us." He continued and Eggshells kept quiet.

"He is doing all this because he wishes to save the skin of your company. Diamondz Corp is the main bloodline of Daimon and if it dies, we will die too." General Ost tried to calm Grieves down.

"If they had not been doing all these experimentations behind our backs, we wouldn\'t have to be in such a mess like this. And the creation of non human mechanoids discouraged? Last I remembered, it was not allowed at all regardless of how the Crystal Dragon was meant to be a prototype that would be discarded." General Grieves showed his anger to the subject at hand. Jin had already sensed the entire day that Grieves was not exactly happy that they had to prepare a contingency plan for the advent of the Crystal Dragon emerging in Parry City and later coming into Daimon.

However, he had no idea that Grieves was actually angry against Diamondz Corp for pulling the rug under the military and now they wanted to do things their way once more, putting Daimon onto the target board for others to shoot upon. Perhaps, Grieves did mean well for Daimon as peace was what he wanted for the city.

"Regardless of the anger you have for Diamondz Corp, it does not change the fact that Parry City Military had been keeping quiet about this. I believe they are trying to solve this problem themselves but if things awry and their city gets attacked, it would cause major concerns for us, mainly economy wise. Do we have any military pacts with Parry City?"

"At the moment, no. We have a few military pacts with other surrounding cities but they had recently considered null because of what they had done from listening to the Empire and not coming to assist us when it was time for it." General Ost said.

"Damn, then why does this Empire Dragon have to appear in Parry City when they could have emerged in those cities. We can then have the last laugh." Jin sighed as he once again lowered his head at the gravity of the situation.
