The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1185

(Unedited)

…

It has been a few months already since the battle on the borderlines has begun. And now it has stopped all of sudden and the threat of the soldiers from the kingdom of Glysko has already stopped. A treaty is said to have been raised by the empire of Gong to stop the war from progressing further.

And right now all the eyes of the world are centered at the borders, in particular, the territory of the 5th fortress, where a small village surrounded by a thick and mysterious mist that is not easy to navigate and enter.

This village is where the new weapon of war was first created... a terrible weapon that those who could obtain it would surely have the edge in controlling their territory and on the battlefield.

They could not imagine if there are hundreds of these things, it would mean that there are hundreds of high-ranking officers on the battlefield. What would happen to those ordinary soldiers then?

This kind of logic is truly a nightmare to any general who would face such an army.

That is why the empire has already made its move to stop the war from progressing and would not interfere with the appearance and control of the said weapon.

And now all of the kingdoms within the Empire of Gong's territory are in fear of the reprisal from the Jimal kingdom from what they have suffered throughout the years.

And this time, they could not help but send envoys to the kingdom of Jimal to cement the peace and their relationship so as not to provoke the kingdom in attacking them. And this is particularly true especially to the kingdom of Glysko which is currently at war with the kingdom of Jimal.

While this is happening in the whole empire, within the kingdom of Jimal where the Misty village is located, Xin Ja is currently making great changes in the defenses of the misty village.

"Ahh… That was a lot of work…" Xin Ja said while wiping the large beads of sweat covering his forehead.

He then inserted a large Ki stone in the middle of the intricate formation in front of him. Xin Ja's eyes are gleaming with interest as he wanted to see the result of his hard work these couple of days.

Although he has already an idea deep in his mind about what this thing could do, seeing it happening in real life is something different.

As Xin Ja activated the array in front of him, he could feel strong energy coursing through the array and activating it. The energy is stable and it felt like a coursing river powering the inner core of the formation.

Wheng!!!

A strong reverberating sound echoed through the underground room where the array was set up.

Then Xin Ja felt a force coming out from the room and went outside spreading far and wide.

Then the whole misty forest suddenly became clear. The whole mist of the forest seems to have dissipated like a fog being lifted from the ground and into the skies.

This startled everyone especially the denizen of the forest. And even those forces outside watching this place and looking for an opportunity to sneak in were startled.

But no one took action as they continue observing.

And soon, the fog once again appears out of nowhere and engulfs the forest as a whole.

A scout from the Glysko kingdom who is watching this scene suddenly took a large mouthful of air as he gasped in surprise.

"This… this could not be happening…"

"What? What do you mean?" someone standing beside him asked.

"The misty forest has changed. Right now there is a wide range array covering it… The array is something that I have not seen before, but the strange fluctuation in the air is clearly from that place…" the scout said.

This particular scout from the Glysko kingdom is a runemaster, so he is sensitive to arrays and runes.

This same feeling came upon the rest of those that are watching the misty forest.

…

Misty Village

Xin Ja walks out of the formation room and then locks it.

The room is not guarded by anyone as it is protected by a strong array that no one knows how to control except for Xin Ja.

It has been 2 days since he started working in the array and in that two days, he did not even sleep or rest. So now that he is done he truly wanted to rest and sleep.

Suddenly, his figure staggered after walking out of the array secret underground house.

When he was about to fall a figure quickly caught him.

"Damn it! Young Master Xin just fainted! Call the village chief!" shouted the soldier who caught Xin Ja.

Xin Ja was taken back to his own house. Not long later, Yi Terai has already arrived and with a worried expression in her eyes looks at the sleeping youth on the bed.

When she saw his stable breathing and heard the medical master who has checked him that he is just sleeping, she heaves a sigh of relief.

"This guy… He would always push himself… Sigh…" Yi Terai muttered as she slowly caresses the short black hair of Xin Ja.

Unlike most of the men in the kingdom, she is a bit surprised that Xin Ja prefers to cut his hair short and it started when he began working with Mecha. It seems a bit weird, but she has been used to seeing his short hair and even thought that he looks really handsome on it.

"You can rest assured that no one will disturb your sleep, so sleep as much as you can, okay?" she muttered as she looks around the room sneakily.

When she knew that no one is around, she slowly lowered her head, and then a blush appears on her face as she gave Xin Ja a peck on his cheek.

Feeling a bit shy of what she did, Yi Terai quickly run out of the room while feeling her face hot.

"Am I crazy?" she muttered while she tries to fan herself as she felt her face getting hot.

When one of the women who followed her saw this, she asked.

"Are you feeling unwell, village chief?"

"Ah!!!"

Her words startled Yi Terai as she jump back in surprise.

With a red face, she embarrassedly runs away from Xin Ja's house.

…

Meanwhile, outside of the border of the misty forest, three figures stealthily arrive within the vicinity of the forest trees.

The 3 figures have the strength of level 10 Ki fighters. And they are carrying large backpacks which seem to contain many things inside.

As the three arrives in a part where there are tall bushes they immediately crouch down.

"We should move fast… if there are no other options, just destroy that village." one of them who looks like their leader said.

"Wait… I heard that the place is where the Mecha are produced. How could we infiltrate that place without a fight?" one of them asked.

"Elder Lin gave us some equipment in this bag which would be useful." The leader said with a calm expression.

"It is said that the misty forest is filled with mist that would make one fall asleep upon entering, so they provided these masks and these special suits that would hide our presence." The leader added as he began to take out the objects from inside his bag.

The two followed suit and the three of them began to put on the things inside the bag. Now the three of them look like forest creatures.

"This is too troublesome…"

"Troublesome, yes… but this is a must if you want to live. After all, we are here to steal something. And if they resist, then we can destroy them… Hahaha…"

"Hey, do you think there are women in that village?"

"Haha… Your old ways are coming to light again… old scoundrel."

"Haha… I'm just being true to myself. I can't help it, I like women… especially when they try to resist. The pain I see in their eyes is truly a satisfying pleasure… Hehe…"

"You're sick… Hahaha…"

The three laughed as they prepare to enter the misty forest in front of them.

The 3 of them look like tree creatures entering the forest territory. None of them however noticed a strange ripple happening in front of them.

Because of the suit, they are wearing, their vision is a bit limited and they have not seen that right in front of them there is a strange ripple of energy.

Only those meticulous enough to observe can actually see it as this strange ripple of energy surrounds the entire misty forest area.

"Hey… Where are you guys?" suddenly the leader noticed something is wrong as he called out.

However, no one seems to have heard his words as he looks around him. He began to listen to his surroundings, then he try to look in the direction.

After a while, his heart sunk as he seems to have noticed something.
