Unlike Cissel and Luke's actions, whose strategy relied on total sabotage and destruction, John's plan was far crueller and more ambitious.
He didn't intend to destroy a single wall, cannon, or tower that the machines were currently laying around the den. Instead, he intended to march in, hack the entire structures, and add the machine's own fortifications to his personal arsenal.
He wasn't worried about how many layers of defences the machines laid down; in John's eyes, the machines were giving him more defensive items of silver plate.
He simply needed to wait for Blakar and the Bulltors to arrive so he could train them on the anti-air tactics he'd just perfected. He needed a meat-shield to hold the line while he went to harvest the gifts from the den.
When the hundred drones arrived, John met them with the same type of generosity: death. He used two Logic Bombs to create two crushing kill zones and a single pulse of Lightning Dance to finish the stragglers.
