Chapter 1696 Who Will Know? -Part 18

The public who was watching this situation unfold was in high tension. Daimon Citizens were cursing that their Interim Leader had did so much for the Parry City Citizens and their military had decided to respond as such.

The citizens especially the military had seen Jin not just as a leader but as a saviour for them in times of darkness when everyone had abandoned them to fend for themselves. His decision was unorthodox initially when the citizens heard that the military was going to be deployed in the north.

But those insiders who were working to procure supplies during the assembly could see that he did not have such an intention to fight them. The bulk of the Daimon military was also initially against the assembly as well since they knew that the creation of the latest outpost was such a poor excuse. The creation of the Southern Daimon Dungeon Outpost had no problems at all and even if monsters do leak out, they did not entire military to be out in force.

It was not until they saw that they were not packing guns but food and blankets. Only essential arms and deterrent weapons were permitted as most were briefed on a classified level that they were expecting some sort of disaster happening in Parry City and the military was there for a rescue operation.

So, when it really happened, the Daimon military worked their darndest to ensure that they could save as many Parry City Citizens as they could. They stuck to their training and protocols to ensure that little to no harm was done to those citizens. Those soldiers felt good. It was really good that they were doing something beneficial other than just sacrificing their lives for the defence of Daimon City.

But when the announcement came around, the feelings of charity turned into something darker. Everyone saw how the Parry City Military had decided to hunt Jin down who had also decisively killed the menace that plagued their city. Because of him, the city was mostly unharmed by the Mecha Fire Dragon and the development of the fight had been captured by long distance cameras.

People from both cities were initially happy, relieved and bewildered by Jin's capabilities but those feelings had been betrayed by the terrifying act of the Armed Forces. The Daimon Citizens saw how their kindness had been trampled upon and their anger rose.

The Daimon Military was not excluded as well and perhaps they were the group that was most affected by it. They want to go in and save their leader when they saw how the Mechanoids ganged up on him and the Grey Bear squad who they knew were his prized squad.

And yet, their General forbade them from moving even though he had every right and every chance to do so. "Jin would not want any of such violence to happen when he wakes up." General Grieves's words spread throughout the Daimon Military as they had to show tolerance to the thousands of innocents who were right now under their care.

This was even made more apparent that the Grey Bear Squads were trying their best to survive and not kill any human soldiers to the best of their abilities. From leg shots to arm shots, they missed all the vitals as much as they could and when it comes to those tanks, they tried to only disable the barrels or their engine. (Their weaponry could not do that much damage either) The approach for minimum violence against the Parry City military was there for everyone to see on the livestream.

But to those who watched it, some of the younger soldiers could not control their anger and pointed their guns at the Parry City Citizens. Only through the intervention of their seniors who did their best to hold them back and even detained them to make sure that they followed Grieve's orders. Those younger soldiers shouted in agony and some even cried that if anything were to happen to Jin, the Parry City Citizens would not be forgiven.

For the Parry City Citizens, they were in much confusion and they had no idea why they as the victims have to suffer this much for whatever reason. Their homes were in possible ruins and could have been worse if not for Jin, their lord was supposed killed by the dragon initial attack, their city was not prepared for such an attack when their neighbouring city already had an inkling of it.

Yet when things felt desperate, their friendly neighbour tried to help them to the best of their abilities that they lost precious people doing so, but their very own protectors accused them for creating this problem up and were hunting their leader who had single handedly exterminate the problem that no one knew where it came from.

Now, they were in between being refugees and a hostage. There was so much to take in within the middle of the night, some just broke down to despair while the others begged the soldiers to take mercy on them.

And to make things worse, they were seeing it live how the Daimon Leader was doing as much as he could to not injure the soldiers because he did not wish to make the situation any worse. For the Daimon Citizens on the other hand, they were all praying that their Interim Leader could overcome this situation as he had always done. This chapter is updated by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

The demonstration of staying his hand not to kill was also seen as a sign and message to his citizens to not hit the Parry City Citizens who were equally the victims within this ongoing predicament. That was why even though they had the hatred within their hearts and anger accumulating in their fists, they held them on and practice patience and tolerance.

This whole problem could blow the wrong way and the tightrope was so thin that if Jin were to do something off or if the Parry City Military did accidentally kill Jin, the kettle that was boiling within these two groups would not just scream but explode.
