The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1209 - Myrth: 180

Chapter 1209

(Unedited)

The three armaments that he is thinking of are Grenade Launcher, Mortar, and a Long-Range Rifle. Of course, the long-range weapon is only for Xin Ja along with another one that he still needed to test out. He would not dare give such a deadly weapon to anyone.

And so he quickly plans to create such weapons and arm the Mechas. He is sure that they would not fear fighting against an army of enemy soldiers with those in their arsenal.

Actually, with even a Mecha alone, they are already sure of their win. But he would not be blind to just trust in the power of the Mecha as it would use too much Ki energy which would be detrimental to its defenses and other functions.

Having powerful weaponry could solidify their chances of winning this war.

After the meeting with the 4th prince and the officers, Xin Ja did not waste any more time and began constructing the new add-on weapons for the Mecha. He needed to hasten as the situation is really dire and he need to finish creating those in at least 3 days' time.

3 days later…

The side underground doors of the fortress have opened and a squad of 10 Mecha began marching out of the underground tunnel.

They are going to use the Mechas to traverse the land instead of using the carriages. This way they could travel faster and would be able to arrive on time to save Tork town.

The appearance of the Mechas surprised the citizen who woke up early in the morning. This is true especially to those who were in the shadows watching the movement of the military in the 5th fortress.

A part of the squad is Xin Ja, with Yao Mai Lin, and Captain Yu who has secretly killed and buried Elder Ra in the misty forest. The one who would be in charge of the group is Commander Zhou, of the 701st command.

Commander Zhou's real name is Zhou Lixing. He is a tall and burly man with a sword-like mustache and small squinted eyes. He is a senior officer with a very distinct accomplishment in the battlefield and command tactics. And because of that, he was newly promoted to a Commander and became the new Commander of the newly formed Mecha Squad 00.

Actually, Xin Ja is not supposed to be in the group. However, he find the excuse that he needed to get the data for the weapon test of the newly made weapons.

To keep everything in secret, they decided not to test the weapons in the fortress. This is because, Xin Ja has his doubts, and he follows his instincts at this time so as not to create trouble in these important times.

"Hey, guys… I will not be that strict with you all while traveling. But… when the battle starts… I want everyone to obey my command. I will not tolerate anyone who disobeys my command, is that understood?" Commander Zhou said in the coms.

"Yes, Commander…" everyone replied.

"Xin Ja no matter what, you should not stray away from me. Your life hangs in my hand, do you understand?" Commander Zhou reminded.

"Yes, Commander…" Xin Ja replied feeling a bit awkward as he feels very special in the group and it makes him feel uncomfortable.

"By the way, what is that long thing hanging at the side of your Mecha?" suddenly one of the soldiers asked.

"Oh, this?… This is for test purposes… this will not be part of the arsenal yet. If the test will go well, then we can create a special squad using such weapons. Hehe… I can't wait to test it out to the enemies…" Xin Ja said with an excited tone.

When Commander Zhou heard him, he could not help but felt shivers running down his spine. He has heard of the profile of this Xin Ja and has heard what has happened when he assassinated Elder Lin. He saw the video of the corpse and he felt his skull tingle upon seeing the wound.

If what he has in the shoulder of his Mecha is what he thinks it is, then he could not think how devastating that weapon would be when it targets the high-ranking officers of the enemy.

After shaking his head, he began checking his own provisions.

"Alright, is everyone ready? Check your stuff for the last time!" Commander Zhou said.

"Everything is in order sir!" everyone shouted.

One could tell the excitement and nervousness in their tones.

"Guys… I can't believe that I will be traveling with a Mecha… hahaha…" someone excitedly said.

"Yeah, this is exciting. After practicing for a long time, we can finally see the result of our training!"

"Alright, alright… Let's go!" Commander Zhou said as he led the group walking ahead.

Soon when they are about a kilometer away from the 5th fortress, the squad began to run faster.

An hour later…

Gwark!!! Cough! Cough!

Behind a tree, two people are puking their stomachs out. They look pale and very weak at the moment as they have thrown up almost everything they might have eaten.

"Hahaha… I thought you guys were very excited!…" chuckled Captain Yu while taking a bite of dried meat.

"We are already halfway… We are truly traveling really fast this time." Commander Zhou said with a big smile.

He then looks at the Mechas and shakes his head.

"These babies are really awesome… I wish we could have gotten them sooner…" he said as he suddenly showed a hint of melancholy in his face.

Everyone went silent as they have known what he meant. This war has taken the lives of many of their brethren in battle.

"Anyway, should we test out the new weapons here?" he said as he turn his gaze at Xin Ja who seems to be daydreaming while looking at the sky.

What they did not know is that Xin Ja is actually feeling a bit elated as of this moment. Who would have known that he suddenly feel his sphere slowly growing while cultivating in their travel?

Ever since he started learning motion cultivation, he knew that his progress has grown pretty rapidly. And now he is about to break through to the 4th level.

It was only a few weeks ago when he just reached the 3rd level, not he is about to break through the 4th. And because of this, he felt very excited.

"Hey, Junior Officer!" Commander Zhou called with a frown.

"Huh? Oh… What? Who?" Xin Ja was a bit startled then looks at the people around him who are looking at him like he is an idiot.

"Oh… Sorry… What was that commander?" Xin Ja asked while scratching his head.

"Sigh… It's fine… Can we test the new weapons here?" Commander Zhou asked.

"Umm… Alright… But we have to use only one Mecha, our ammunition is limited you know…"

"I know…" Commander Zhou rolled his eyes.

"Sir, I have already scouted the area, everything is clear." A female junior officer reported.

"Okay, Captain Yu…" Commander Zhou looks at Captain Yu who just nodded his head and quickly hops on his Mecha.

"Testing maximum range of the Grenade Launcher…" Captain Yu said on the radio.

"Scout ready!" someone reported.

"Okay, fire!" Commander Zhou commanded.

Plump! Swish!!!

Ka-Boom!!!

A small mushroom cloud rises in the air which startled everyone.

"Holy crap! What is that?" shouted Commander Zhou when he saw the mushroom cloud.

Even Captain Yu almost wanted to throw the Grenade Launcher on the ground and run away.

"Wow… The firepower is stronger than I expected… Wonderful…" Xin Ja said with a delighted expression.

The rest of the pilots look at him with dread in their eyes.

"No wonder, he was not caught even after escaping the military hunt…" Commander Zhou thought as he wipes the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Remember to fire this weapon at the maximum distance… I don't want you killing your own teammates!" he suddenly warned.

"Next! The mortar!" he quickly said.

But this time, he is already prepared for what to expect.

Plump!

Swish!!!

*whistle!

Ka-Boom!!!

Another loud explosion occurs, but this time it is very far.

Not long later, the scout in the area quickly reported the test result.

"Commander, scout reporting… the Grenade Launcher's range is about 400 meters… and 5 meters radius of damage…" the female scout reported.

"The mortar's range is a bit far… it is about 5 kilometers… and destruction radius of 30 meters…" she added.

Everyone looks at each other when they heard this.

Then they look at Xin Ja who is recording everything. After hearing the report, he nodded his head in contentment.

"Umm… This is as expected… This is already a good result. Alright, good job everyone!" he said as he looks at the two junior officers with a pale complexion.

He walks towards them and takes out his needles.

"You two will not be of use if you would always puke…" he said as he frown.

"Come here." Xin Ja said as he sits down.

He then gives them acupuncture to stop them from getting dizzy.

After that, the team continues on their travels.. But it seems that they travel slowly this time for some unknown reason.
