The Geared Immortal

Chapter 562

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao suddenly cried out while falling to the ground as his body stumbled as if he was tripped by something on the ground. His cry immediately alerted the guard and looked at the direction of his voice. And what they saw are a couple of heads peeking out from the bushes.

Upon seeing the enemy, the patrolling guards shouted an alarm and immediately rush towards the group.

Upon seeing this, Gao Fung and the rest immediately rush back to the other who was left and would act as their backup. The scouting team that Gao Fung chooses to separate from the 30 men are only 10 people including Shin Jiao. The rest would wait in a fair distance and would act as their backup.

"That stupid bastard!" curses Gao Fung in his mind as he and the 10 men with him immediately ran back.

But who would have known that men dressed in black would suddenly appear and block their path of retreat?

Every one of them didn't have a choice but to fight back. If not, then they would be captured by the enemy and killed. At least if they fight back, they would still have a chance.

And so a battle happened between ten men and a large number of guards.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao who was the source of this encounter is currently standing at a top of a tree. From his ring, he has taken his old camouflage ghillie suit. This is his old ghillie suit that contains arrays, however, he could not activate them and so he can only use its physical form which is already enough for him to blend to his surroundings.

And so, Shin Jiao just leisurely watches the fight between the ten men and the slowly increasing number of guards. But he didn't just watch, every time he can the other six people who supported him get into a troublesome situation, he would use stones to hit their opponent's weapon and this would cause his companions to be able to kill their opponents.

Shin Jiao, however, didn't help Gao Fung and the two guards with him. And without his help, although they are strong, they soon suffer heavy wounds in their body making them unable to fight with full strength.

"Damn it! Damn it! I will skin that bastard alive!" shouted Gao Fung in a grievance.

He didn't want to die yet. He still wanted to be a hero. He wanted to serve the royalties and be as strong as the two guards beside him.

He can see the strength of the two people and they have already killed many soldiers of the enemy. He wanted to be like them, as strong as them. But now, how could he do that if he falls on the enemy's hands.

"I… I must escape… I must escape… I still have a bright future. I need to escape now…" Gao Fung thought as he suddenly clenches the sword on his hand and with his whole strength sent a powerful slash to the enemy soldier in front of him.

Taken aback by the outburst of strength from his opponent, the enemy soldier was unable to defend and his neck was severed from his body.

Then with all of his strength Gao Fung, suddenly dashed towards the bushes.

The rest of the nine people were dumbfounded at this scene.

But the battle didn't end and soon the nine people were thoroughly surrounded and the two strong and powerful fighters of the 3rd prince are now wounded heavily.

They all knew that they could not fight against these many guards and their only path is to escape. But they have been trying to do that for a while now, but still failed.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly from the crowd of guards surrounding them, a tall man wearing a golden armor walked out while clapping his hands.

"Ah… brave soldiers of the Silver Moon Empire… Welcome… In behalf of our great Golden Dragon Empire we would like to escort you to our camp… you don't have to make a mess in this place." The man said with a smile on his handsome face.

From his appearance, Shin Jiao can see that the man is in his 30's with a tall and handsome look.

"Che! We would rather die fighting than be tortured by your army…" shouted one of the 3rd prince guards while holding his stomach.

Blood can be seen seeping out of his armor as it seems that he is wounded deeply in that part.

"Oh… then so be it." The man casually said.

The other six people who are just normal soldiers felt reluctant. They too wanted to live, however, no matter what they chose they knew that they would still die.

Then they look at each other in the eyes and a strong determination to fight can be seen in each other's expressions.

Meanwhile, above the trees, Shin Jiao is busily sharpening some tree branches. He found these branches more effective in subduing the enemy than stones. With the right control and his robust strength, he is able to make them fly like an arrow.

The soldiers who are already surrounding the ground slowly close in to deal with the group.

However, the man wearing the golden armor suddenly said.

"Leave only one, the rest can die…"

With his command, every enemy soldier suddenly rushes forward to attack the group.

But how could Shin Jiao let his companions die that easily? With his quick reaction, he immediately utilizes his contact lens to determine the enemy attacking proximity. Though he could not use his sphere's energy, he still has his own strength and some functioning gears.

And so with that, a volley of five inches long sharp sticks with the thickness of a thumb flew out and immediately incapacitates a lot of the enemy soldiers.

His six companions easily dealt with their opponent and brought them down with ease. The people who saw this suddenly stop attacking. They saw that these six soldiers have not been hurt ever since the battle started.

Though their skills are subpar they still brought down many of their comrades. Hence the enemy soldiers now felt fear while looking at the six people.

Meanwhile, the two guards of the 3rd prince are already dead as they have suffered from the hands of their opponents.

"You… all of you get those bastards!" shouted the man in golden armor as he saw his men falling like flies in the hands of the six people.

He dare not think that these farmers are stronger than his battle-hardened soldiers. But he saw everything, he saw his soldiers being struck helplessly. It was as if they are frozen in fear in front of those six people.

He knew that there is something different from those six people.

"Witchcraft… this might be the work of a witch of a shaman." The man thought as he slowly backs away.

He is aware of the mysterious powers of the shaman. Although in a frontal battle, those witches and shamans could not handle a soldier their tricks are fatal and poisonous. Hence no one ever dared face them head-on.

And so, he stretches his hand to the soldier behind him.

The soldier already knew what his general wanted and immediately took out a long wooden bow and six arrows.

With a sneer on his face, the man in golden armor looks at the six people.

"Let's see if your witchcraft would work when you are dead… Hehe…" he said as he suddenly draws the bow on his hand and took an aim at one of the six soldiers from the Silver Moon Empire.

Swoosh!

The arrow was released and it flew straight forward with great momentum.

With expectation in his eyes, the man in golden armor already has a smirk on his face. In his experience facing shamans and witches, one can only fight them long distances. As long as you are not affected by their poison, then it is easy to kill them.

And so with his archery level and strength, he is confident that he can hit one of these soldiers.

His arrow flew directly towards a small person with a normal physique. This person is one of the people who would always bother Shin Jiao in the camp. He would always bring Shin Jiao some food and would always talk to him every time he is free.

Shin Jiao knew the purpose of the man. On the battlefield, a good doctor is like having a second life. And ever since that man saw how Shin Jiao helped the soldiers, he already knew that Shin Jiao is a good doctor.

But of course, Shin Jiao only knew field medicine. He is not an expert of some sort, but he is skilled enough to maintain his life in the line of fire.

Shin Jiao above the trees has already seen who that man's target is and has already made his move. And so as the arrow flew, a strange thing happened.

A tree branch suddenly fell from the tree and landed exactly in-between the arrow and the man who is currently fighting against someone.

The arrow was deflected.

However, the strength of the man in a golden armor is truly terrifying that it broke the tree branch into two and the arrow still hit someone on the leg. And that someone is the opponent of that man.

Shin Jiao was also astounded in this event. He could not help but smile as he saw the gawking look on the golden armored guy. He actually killed his own men using his own arrow.

Even the soldiers behind him had a dumbfounded look on their faces. They could not believe what just happened.

But still battle didn't stop as there are still many soldiers surrounding the six people.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao noticed a group of people riding Neighs as they gallop towards the golden armored guy.

"General Gong Yang, we caught an enemy, we need you to go to the camp, sir…" That soldier said.

Hearing this news, the golden armored guy suddenly showed a happy smile on his face as he immediately rode his own stead and gallops towards the camp.
