The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1174 - Myrth: 145



Chapter 1174

(Unedited)

Within the thick mist, the stench of blood could be smelled as the ground is littered with corpses. The dead soldiers numbering up to ten thousand lie on the ground drenching the soil crimson red with their blood.

From within the thick mist of the forest are figures wearing masks as they walk around the field filled with corpses... Every now and then, they would use their handheld spears to stab those that are lying on the ground.

Then suddenly a whistle echoed through the air and everyone began moving towards the village.

As they enter the village, the mist has disappeared and the people remove their masks.

The hundreds of people are gathered in the village square where others are also gathered.

"We have checked the area and there are no signs of life…" a tall young man said as he reported.

"Good… For what they have done to our clan… we will pay them back a hundredfold…" a woman in her 30s said with a furious expression on her face.

These people are the survivors of the village. They were those that were fortunate enough to run and those that have hidden ahead of time because they listened to the village head.

Although they belong to two different factions from before, right now they have a single goal. And that is to avenge their clansmen who have died and were killed by the soldiers of the Glysko kingdom.

"We have noticed something…" someone suddenly said while raising his hand.

"What is it…" asked the one who seems to be leading the group.

"There seems… there seems to be a new type of weapon or armor that the Glysko kingdom created…" the guy said.

"Come with me and I will show you…" he said with a gesture.

At this time, two people followed the guy and they soon came back while dragging a heavy 4 meters tall iron golem.

Everyone in the village who saw this was all astounded.

There are around 150 plus people who became the survivor of the Misty village. And these 150 plus people are now following the command of the one wearing the village head pendant.

Yi Terai is able to use the pendant that she has taken from her grandfather. After burying the corpses of the villagers and fixing the damages done by the soldier from the Glysko kingdom, they began to plan for their next move.

Many of them wanted revenge for what was done, while others wanted to just live a peaceful life. And so they decided to passively wait. If they are attacked then they would retaliate. But if the forces of the Glysko kingdom appear on their borders, they would not hesitate to claim the lives of those barbaric soldiers.

Xin Ja helped them set up the village so that it would become a very powerful stronghold and a deterrent force within the forest. The village is strategically located in the passage of the valley leading to a path behind the lines of the frontier towns.

With the array rearranged by Xin Ja while he added some chemicals into the mist, the whole forest became a death trap for those who will enter it, and a haven of protection for those living within it.

The dark mist slowly dissipates and the mist returns to its regular color. This means that the poison within the mist is already gone. And those animals that were rendered unconscious from deep within the mist woke up from their deep slumber.

Some of the wild animals began wading through the corpses lying on the ground. And many of them began feasting on the corpses.

Meanwhile, inside the village in a building, Xin Ja is currently looking at the metal golem right in front of him.

He is a bit amazed at the armor which is standing at around 4 meters tall. He could tell that the one who could control such weight and height is someone within his father's level. But within the Glysko kingdom soldiers, he did not discover anyone who is stronger than the 7th level.

So this means that they are carrying such a piece of giant armor for those who have already passed through the village.

That means that there is a general or something within the group who has passed the village before.

"No wonder the village easily fell from their attack." Xin Ja muttered while looking at the giant golem.

"But this thing is crudely crafted and metal they used in constructing such a thing is not well refined."

"Hmm… This thing looks like the ones in the records… The immortal gears." He muttered as he remembers the giant metallic machines from one of the records in his unique vision.

Xin Ja became curious so he began to dismantle the giant iron golem.

The golem is just a lump of metal that is connected by joints that would enable one to move its body and limbs like a normal person. But there is something wrong with it. If one is not careful enough, then one could suffer greatly from the extreme movement angles of the joints as they did not have stoppers.

He then checked the runes inside the metal armor and discovered that they are used as an enhancer for the lump of iron and added an external defensive barrier.

So basically the 4 feet iron armor would rely solely on the strength of the user and would even be considered as a burden. The only advantage of such a weapon is the protective ability of the runes inside of its body and its ability to destroy the walls of the enemy.

He could immediately tell that these things are actually used as a battering ram.

Upon this shocking discovery, Xin Ja could not help but shake his head and wanted to laugh. From what he saw and read in the records in his unique vision, Shin Jiao has created metal armors that could move agilely and even fly in the air. The armors are not used as battering rams, but instead for assault and even key weapons in attacking multiple enemies.

Although he still could not do that, as he found the mechanism very complicated at the moment, he has already applied a part of that technology in his current armor. The use of additional energy and power up could already be applied in the iron armor.

But he would not use it in such a crude design.

And so after dismantling the iron armor, Xin Ja began to set up a crafting and blacksmithing room inside the building he is staying in.

He would refine the iron armor and turn it into something that would be more useful and powerful than it currently is.

The disappearance of the 10,000 plus soldiers of the Glysko kingdom became a big issue in their main camp. They sent many flying messenger beasts and finally ended up figuring that the last location the army went to is at the Misty Village.

Upon this discovery, a large army of the Glysko kingdom mobilized to the borders of the Misty Village. Now the scouts from the Jimal kingdom have finally discovered this and reported the huge mobilization to the stronghold within the area.

In the stronghold, the disappearance of Master Wang became a great issue. But the lack of reaction from the enemy means that the old man did not make any crazy movement and seems to have not entered the battlefield.

What made everyone heaves a sigh of relief is that Master Wang was reported to have returned to Ogden town and he seems to be protecting the Xin family.

When this news spread throughout the army, the forces hidden in the shadows targeting the Xin family immediately stopped the activities. And then their claws shifted to finding Xin Ja who is still missing on the battlefield.

A rumor began spreading that he became a traitor. Even though some soldiers reported his help in taking back the ruined town and forcing the enemy to re-strategize their move. This report did not spread in the army, instead, it was suppressed.

One could tell that the force behind the one hunting him is very influential and has strong support from the higher-ups.

In the town of Tiig where a large force of the Jimal kingdom soldiers is now stationed, the battalion commander Zhang Baguan stood inside his room while looking outside the window.

His eyes are on the horizon looking in the direction of the ruined town and the wide-area around it which is still filled with that strange mist that could knock out anyone who would enter that place.

The Kingdom of Jimal soldiers have been entering that place and many runemasters have already created an array formation in that town in which they can now control the use of the mist covering the town.

No one dares to touch the machine that has been producing and recycling the mist in that place and the array around trapping the mist.

The enemy army would not even dare to move around the mist as they noticed that the Jimal soldiers are now able to utilize the mist to trap them if they dare to enter the forest area.

And so a deadlock is happening right now as no army dare to advance or retreat.

No one knew that a big battle is about to happen, right in the middle of it all is the boy the Jimal soldiers are looking for.
