Most of the officers even Jin did not expect the massive sky nets to be of such deterrence. They had seen a number of Metal Ogres fainted or killed from the attack and the interval runs of electric bombs along with the net sent shocks to the entire formation of Metal Ogres.
This really gave the Western Front sufficient time to run away from Defensive Line 1 but General Grieves refused to let it be totally empty. He had decided to sacrifice the 200 Mechanoids that Archduke Dyke had given to Daimon City as reinforcements to stall more time. These two hundred Mechanoids were positioned at various distances from Line 1 to Line 2 and they were tasked to lure the enemy as much as they could.
While the Western Front positioned themselves, the Metal Ogres who emerged fresh from the Dungeon Entrance now started to help the Metal Ogres trapped within the nets so they could get out of it.
