The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1177

(Unedited)

…

Inside the Misty Village in a room, a young man is currently leaning on the bed while slowly removing the armor on his body. As he removes the armor his face would wince in pain. Blood continuously drips on the ground as one piece of armor after another fell.

It did not take long before his armor has been removed and a deep gash could be seen on his side.

Xin Ja could not help but gasp in pain as he carefully checked his wound.

"I could not handle four people are the same time…" he muttered to himself as he began to treat his own wound.

While treating his wounds, he could remember what had happened back then and how he fought against four powerful beings while almost depleting his own energy and the energy of his armor.

"Level 10 is clearly my limit even with a strong armor…" he muttered while checking the damage dealt with the armor after treating his wounds.

On his body, there are several gashes from his back, his thigh, his side, and even his face. The attacks of the enemy are truly terrifying and their movement really fast.

And he was only able to endure because of the strength of his armor.

"Well… I guess that's it with the test of the armor…" he muttered while frowning.

After getting off the bed, and cleaning the blood in the room, Xin Ja went back to the workshop and began repairing the damage on the armor.

Meanwhile, the huge garage door opens, and the large machine rolls inside the garage.

Yi Terai jumps out of the machine with a big smile on her grease-filled face.

"How is the battle on the other side?" Xin Ja asked as he walks to the machine.

"This machine of yours is very strong… But I seem to have broken it…" she said with a sheepish smile as she patted the side.

"You broke it? How?" Xin Ja asked with a hint of doubt.

He then saw the many damages on its armor and frowns.

"You've encountered level 10 Ki fighters?" he asked as he checked the damage.

"Yes, their commander is very strong… We have no choice but to retreat through the mist… those that followed us died, but many stayed behind. So we were unable to defeat those soldiers…" she said as she confidently jumps to the shoulder of the machine and sits on it calmly.

"I think you should make more of these things… then we can defeat whoever dares challenge us…" she said as she slowly caresses the head of the machine.

"By the way, what should we call these things?" she asked as she patted the machine as if it was very precious to her.

"Hmm… I'm not good at naming things… But this is called a Mecha… so Mecha it is…" Xin Ja said with an awkward smile.

"Hmm… Mecha is it then…" Yi Terai agreed with a smile.

"So how long will it take you to create more of these things?" she asked with an excited expression.

She has seen how strong those things are and saw how they have proven reliability on the battlefield. If they have more, then they would not worry about the enemy then.

"About three days with enough materials…"

"Alright… I've seen the metals that you needed… In the far corner of the misty forest… there is an ore mine in there. I will ask the others to begin mining for the needed ores…" Yi Terai said as she hops down the machine.

She then walks out with a swagger and quickly gathers people.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja sent some messages to his father through the shared Mule and requested some materials from him.

A day has passed and the war in the borders continues to grow.

The Kingdom of Glysko has suffered another defeat in the misty valley as soon as the reinforcements from the kingdom of Jimal arrive.

Because of their successive defeats, the kingdom of Glysko seem to suddenly stop their advances, but the territory they have already taken become their stronghold as they began to send more reinforcements to those towns and villages that fell in their hands.

So now the border areas are divided between the two kingdoms and a stalemate has been obtained.

At the same time, the hunt for Xin Ja still continues on the battlefield as the forces from the Silver Glade Merchant Company began to penetrate the army.

But this did not long as the other princes began to also move their own influence on the battlefield and obstruct the forces of the 6th prince.

Suddenly, new technology began spreading on the battlefield. This so-called new technology began to spread within the military and it is a way for the military to see the movement of their enemies through their spies in only just a few minutes.

This so-called new technology is a video recording device that began to spread throughout the military. And the one producing such device comes from Ogden town… in particular, the Xin family with the support of Master Wang Chanling.

And so the town began to be flooded with merchants trying to get their hands on the video recording device and the Mule which is also begin to spread.

It has already been a month since then and the life of Xin Ja in the Misty Village is a bit busy. And he has discovered that through his hard work and constant use of Ki and his dantian, he has now reached the 3rd level.

In the one month that he has stayed in the village, he has created 4 Mechas… two are using tracks, and two are bipedal.  Ever since he became busy with crafting and learning in-depth rune arrays, he has finally been able to create basic computing rune arrays.

It has further helped him with the creation of the bipedal Mecha which is really helpful as an all-terrain assault war machine.

Suddenly, a video-recorded scene began spreading through the borders where the metal armor from the kingdom of Glysko clashes with the Mecha from the misty village.

The clash of the two metal giants became an awesome scene that caught the interest of the many military soldiers. Plus they have noticed a familiar figure in that fight.

…

In the town of Tiig inside the office of Commander Zhang Baguan

"Commander! Look at this!" shouted one of his adjutants as he showed a video of the fight.

Commander Zhang's expression change when he saw the scene on the video recording device. This is because he has realized that the scene right in front of his eyes would show the heroic deed of the one they are trying to target.

Then not long later, a few more videos began spreading for some unknown reason.

Today in the Ogden Academy, on the field where a large screen is being set up, many students are currently gathered.

It did not take long before the students began to discuss their academy life and some normal stuff they do every day… and among the students are the friends of Xin Ja.

Rou Chenchen is quietly standing behind Tung Jo and Qing Joming who are busy talking animatedly. While in front of the group are Hou Jiang, Hou Malou, and Lin Geng. These six people are busily talking when one of the elders of the academy stand on the stage and called for the attention of everyone.

He began talking about heroes and those that sacrificed themselves in the current war. He then pointed at the large screen behind him and let the student watch.

Soon, everyone saw the picture of what is currently happening on the battlefield. The gruesome battle and the sacrifice of the soldiers of the kingdom are bare for all to see.

Then everyone noticed a familiar female figure.

"Hey… Isn't that senior Yao Mai Lin?" someone said in a loud voice.

Everyone gasped as they watches her wearing the officer's military uniform while exuding a heroic look. Yao Mai Lin suddenly ignites the passion of the students and it seems that everyone suddenly wanted to join the military.

But of course, they are not yet ready as the conflict on the border is still considered as small skirmishes that a full-blown war.

But her heroic bearing and how the video shows her commanding the presence on the battlefield has already ignited the passion of the students to serve their kingdom.

Then suddenly the screen changes as another figure appeared on the screen. This figure is a bit familiar to some of them, but most students did not know who the guy is.

But as they watch the guy conquer a town besieged by the enemy army using strategy made everyone feels dumbfounded. They almost could not believe that what they are seeing is true.

How could a 1st level Ki fighter defeat a whole battalion of soldiers more powerful than himself? That scene alone made everyone feel shivers running down their spine.

The video is actual footage of how Xin Ja defeated the enemies inside the ruined town with a handful of scouts alongside him.

Then they saw him battling the enemy commander which immediately turned everyone dumbfounded.

"That… that Xin Ja… How… how was he able to do that?" Qing Joming who is considered his best friend in the academy muttered.
