Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel
Chapter 1593 Lord Of Mount Sunn - Part 6
Diaz was fast enough to detect some incoming movements before a deer like creature came and pounced on the group in general. Thankfully, Diaz's alert allowed them to scatter just in time. Upon a closer look, its features were as if an brutish Orc had fused with a deer. Diaz could not recognise the monster through its database and so did the investigative team.
The security experts who were within the vicinity were about to return fire until Diaz commanded them to bring the investigative team away from this sudden attack. Thankfully, because of their recent promotion, the security experts -despite the name, were still of lower rank than them. Not to mention, Jin's squad was apparently of high status within the Archduke's list of personal squads for some reason which Jin was not aware of and therefore, those Mechanoids had no choice but to obey the orders despite their urge to go into a fight.
In the meantime, Diaz and Click purposely pulled the Deer Orc or that was what they had decided to identify it at the moment, away from the dead body, in hopes that it does not destroy any possible key evidence. Or perhaps the Deer Orc had purposely placed the dead body there to lure even more prey into finding it. They were not sure and were not keen to find out.
All they know is that they had to move out of this area as soon as possible to a more suitable fighting ground so that the investigative team were not harmed in the process. Since Diaz had been selected for this particular expedition, Jin had temporarily appointed her as the leader mainly because of her familiar knowledge of the terrain since she was technically 'born' here.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Click and Diaz held the same rank and had an equal say in things, Jin gave her the right to lead the team but Click was also given permission to refuse any stupid orders that Diaz might dish out. Other than that, he implored the two of them to respect the temporary hierarchy as they were on the mission.
So, as they moved away from the body, Diaz noted that the Deer Orc was not chasing them as she hoped it would. Instead, it was creeping around the dead body. Even with some hollering and a few bullets to the monster's torso, it was not exactly responsive to the provocation. That was where she looked at Diaz.
"Ehhhhh, I do exactly have any mechanical bodies to play with. The most I can do is to create a few turrets?" Click said and Diaz sighed.
"So, the monster was not exactly protecting the dead body but it is not moving away from it as well. Could it be that this is its territory or something?" Diaz could not understand the workings of the Deer Orc that had encountered until they realised that it was more intelligent than they thought. Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt
More of those Deer Orcs emerge from the tall grasses that they are currently at and that was when they saw the initial Deer Orc communicating with them and splitting the new incoming group into two. One was after the investigation team who Diaz asked to move to safety and the other half was to them. Obviously, a bigger portion of the group chased after the investigative team since they had the numbers while there were only four moving towards Diaz's direction.
"Shit!" She said without restraint. "Click! Go rescue the investigative team!"
"Already on the way!" The combat engineer said as she hopped on her mechanical scout hound and she dashed away. She did however dished out a few shots into the deer orcs before moving away from the scene.
"Boss, we are not able to move away. The target is compromised at the moment and the investigative encountered trouble. There are these Orc looking Deers that were coming for us." Diaz said as she took her shotgun and kept banging on a tree to get more of their attention.
"Roger, Lynn and Page are the closest to you. They will be there shortly." Jin said and his fears were indeed not unfounded.
"Are you not going to help them?" Yinn questioned as Jin started to move further south.
"If I cannot trust them, how can they grow?" Jin asked with a wry grin. "Still, Yinn please tell Denise of the situation." Yinn acknowledged as the pair stepped up their pace downwards.
Meanwhile, Diaz finally got the attention of the Deer Orcs and when they were close enough, she unleashed her shotguns at them. Not only that, but she also revealed the melee weapon she had been carrying around. A portable power chainsaw which were equal in explosive power when it comes to dealing with monsters.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe head of the Deer Orc popped off from the shotgun shells while the chainsaw was sufficient to leave a lethal wound on another. The rest of the Deer Orcs finally stopped underestimating this Mechanoid and started to take the hunt against her seriously.
Unfortunately, it was tad a little too late as Diaz already have her sights aimed at another Deer Orc before they could react properly, causing one of their comrades to have their chest imploded from within by a direct hit from the shotgun.
The remaining of the attacking Deer Orcs then rushed hoping to overpower her, not knowing that she had already prepared sufficiently by installing several high levelled martial arts into her processing unit. Inspired by Lynn, her feet were nimble enough to evade the bullish charges of the Deer Orcs as she gracefully left them with chainsaw wounds.
Only then some of them had enough had started to grab rocks from the ground and started to throw them towards her in multiple directions to stop the Mechanoid in her tracks. It proved useful initially as she did not expect a two pronged attack because of the tall grass, causing her to flinch for a moment.
But that was all the Deer Orcs needed to have a hold on her while the other two Deer Orcs closed in hoping to tear her arms apart. "You think I will die like some Mechanoid? I am a Grey Bear! A part of that legendary outsider of a commander!" Diaz shouted as put her legs around the Deer Orc's torso which had grabbed her and used her hips and lots of rotating power to the extent her systems were blaring warnings that it was pushing the limits of the mechanical body.
However, that quick manoeuvre from Diaz enabled her to pull off a throw despite being in a grappled position and that gave her the opportunity to slip out of his hold while killing the incoming two Deer Orcs.
With steam venting out from her joints after that throw, she took no hesitation to swing at the Deer Orc, cutting his face with the power chainsaw.
"Looks like you did not need any help at all," Lynn said from afar as she took down the remaining Deer Orc before signalling Diaz to move towards the investigative team. The latter nodded her head with thanks and ran where Click had gone.
