The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1178

(Unedited)

…

"What is happening? Are you sure that the kingdom of Jimal was able to create their own metal armor?" a tall officer in his 30s shouted as he slams the book he is holding on the table.

"Sir we just receive the report from the front lines that our units have received huge casualties near the misty forest where the secret Misty Village is. As the report said there are about three metal armors that have emerged from that place… and they called those things, Mecha." The officer said as he wipes the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"How are the conditions of our troops in that area?"

"As of now, we have already retreated quite a distance from the misty forest… We cannot afford any more casualties this time."

"Damn! Damn it! How are they able to create those things? And how are they able to produce 10th level Ki fighters to control them?"

"Umm… Sir, the… the Mechas are not controlled by 10th level Ki fighters… The report said that the highest of them is only at the 5th level."

Upon hearing this, the expression of the officer turned ugly as he glared at the one reporting.

"Get out! Call all the smithing masters and the runemasters now!" the tall officer shouted as he slumps on the chair behind the desk.

They have already stopped their advance and have begun to reinforce the towns they have conquered but who would have thought that they would suffer such defeat in the misty forest where they should have already conquered.

From the information they have gathered, there are less than 200 forces inside the misty village. But the problem is breaking through and finding the village.

No matter how hard they try, they would always be defeated. Even after using some masks, their visibility would then be hampered. They have no other choice but to give up and retreat.

But who would have thought that the people inside the misty village would suddenly take out their metal armors? It was truly a disgraceful defeat on their part.

And now there are three of those machines coming out… what does it mean then? Are they going to attack their forces in that area?

While this is happening in the misty forest area, the fortress from the Jimal kingdom controlling this part of the border sent envoys to talk to the people of the Misty Village.

In the Misty village

The village has already changed. The walls and the buildings in the town are now made of concrete. And it looks like compressed air weapons are being used by the people in the village.

They agreed with the talks and the envoys are sent to the village.

The Misty Village has truly changed and in a particular two-story building there is a large conference room where the envoys and the representatives from the Misty Village are gathered.

An hour has passed since the talks have begun and the information about the village has been presented to the envoys.

"So that means you guys are from the Yi clan of the Glysko kingdom that has been vanished by them and has decided to live in here for more than hundreds of years?" the leader of the envoy said with a frown.

The leader is a beautiful young woman. And if Xin Ja is here, he would surely be able to recognize the woman. This is because the young woman is Yao Mai Lin who has now become a young ranking officer of the army.

In fact, the reason why she went to this place is that she heard that Xin Ja is in this place… she wanted to see Xin Ja. But before that, she needs to finish her work first as the envoy leader in this place.

After the discussion, talks, and then the signing of the agreement… the Misty Village will now be under the kingdom of Jimal. And this is what the people of the Misty Village hope to happen. They knew that if they did not align themselves with the forces from the kingdom of Jimal, they would surely be defeated by the soldiers from the kingdom of Glysko.

In the battles, they have lost more than 20 people… and that is with the advantage of the mist and their walls and arsenal.

So they have no choice but to rely on the soldiers from the Jimal kingdom.

Along with the condition is the surrender of the weapons and Mechas to the kingdom's army.

At this moment, inside a workshop, Xin Ja is currently busy creating a new Mecha with some advanced designs.

Beside him are two people who began working with the Mechas as they became interested in the technology.

The workshop's door opens and a group of people began pouring inside.

Xin Ja was too engrossed in his work that he did not bother with the people who had just entered.

Then suddenly, Yao Mai Lin walks towards Xin Ja who is busy assembling a part of the large Mecha on the side.

"Hey! Little Ja!" she called.

Xin Ja was startled at the familiar voice as he looks up. With a surprised expression on his face, Xin Ja looks at Yao Mai Lin with blinking eyes.

"Big sister Lin! You… what are you doing here?" he asked with a confused expression.

Then he suddenly recalled the negotiation with the Jimal kingdom.

"Oh… You are part of the envoy team?" he said with a smile.

"Yes, I volunteered to be here because of you… What you've sent to the army is really something…" she said with a smile.

"Haha… Those videos have truly protected you and have viewed you as one of the heroes in this war…" she said in a low voice while laughing.

"Really? Then… is the army still hunting me?" Xin Ja asked feeling a bit wary.

"Nope… They dare not. I think those forces in the shadows will not be making their move anytime soon…" she said with a smile.

While the two are talking, the rest are being guided to the workshop and the giant Mecha being created.

"This is the metal armor that they are talking about, right?" an officer said with a gaping expression.

"Yes, this is the new model that our team is working on right now…" the one guiding the group said.

Suddenly, the large door of the workshop opens and the ground began shaking as a large Mecha entered.

Then the cockpit opens from the back and a slender figure jumps out of the cockpit.

"Eh… We have visitors…" Yi Terai said while looking at the group.

"Village Chief, you were out but we have completed the treaty with the Jimal kingdom." The village representative said with a smile.

"Really, that's good… Hello, I am Yi Terai, the Village head of the Misty Village," she said while cupping her hands.

"Hello, I am Captain Yu, of the 701 Infantry battalion from the Fortress command." The handsome-looking officer said while also greeting her.

"Ah, welcome to your village captain… I hope that your stay here will be pleasant…" Yi Terai said with a smile.

No one noticed that within the people with the envoy is a tall man with an exuding strong aura. This man seems to be one of the protectors of the team, but something is off with his current aura which is slowly giving off a strong killing intent.

Then suddenly, his figure flashed and appears next to Yao Mai Lin who was caught off-guard.

"Huh!" was the only thing that comes out of her mouth when the figure of Yao Mai Lin was sent flying to the wall.

The strong impact immediately rendered her unconscious.

Everyone inside the workshop was immediately startled as they did not expect that something like that would happen.

The envoys were shocked to see that one of them is actually attacking their own people. And now that person is about to attack someone from the village with which they just made a treaty with.

How could such a thing happen? How could this guy be brainless in this situation?

But then, it was already too late for them to react. They suddenly saw that guy extending his hand trying to grab the young man who seems to be one of the smithing masters constructing the Mecha.

But then before that guy could touch him, the young fellow seems to suddenly vanish into thin air and only his silhouette was left in front of that guy.

"Stop! Stop! What is the meaning of this Mister Ra? You are only here as part of the escort because of a request… But that does not mean that you can be this lawless against the military rules!" shouted Captain Yu.

The man is exactly Ra Gaofang, the 10th elder of the Silver Glade Merchant Company and the father of Ra Jun whom Xin Ja has killed.

No one knew who he is and was just added to the list of the envoy and their protectors. But then they could not believe that this guy would do such a thing in here?

There is an explicit command that the Misty Village should be drawn to the side of the Jimal kingdom. This is because of the Mecha technology. But now, it seems that this person is going to ruin everything.

So how could, Captain Yu, let this happen?
