The Geared Immortal

Chapter 894

(Unedited)

…

Because of his hidden obsession, he was used by those in power to see this new rising power within the kingdom. Xentong Han was taken by some people from Arjing Village and was sent to see the 3rd price who is vying for the crown prince position.

The 3rd prince has an uncle and his name is Prince Lamier Grav. He is one of the cousins of the current king, which has also been given the title of a prince of the kingdom.

Lamier Grav supports the 3rd prince and is one of the leaders of his faction. Lamier Grav has a great influence within the outer world as in this place the kingdom could get its power established and defend against the possible future threat from the defeated worshiper of the dark lord Ruel.

So whatever power is growing within the outer world he would immediately know about them.

The changes he had seen in Main Arjing City are very unusual for him and the weapons he had seen are something new. And he had determined that if this new rising force is a threat to the kingdom and the 3rd prince, then he would root them out.

And he soon heard the news about the battle in Arjing village in which the mysterious group has defeated the large army of the kingdom. And this gave him an alarming premonition. He did not know if the power that the soldiers are talking is true. But he could not let this threat stay.

Hence he decided to lure those people into the city using the name of the Viscount. He knew that the Viscount daughter which turns out to be a real beauty has a close relationship with this mysterious group calling themselves the Mystique Shop.

And with that, he has set up this ambush and uses someone with a grudge towards them as a pawn.

He knew that the leader of that organization is within this group and if he is able to destroy their head, then the body would easily be taken down by him afterward.

Seeing the devastation below gave the prince a slight delightful smile on his face.

"Let's wrap up everything in here." He said as he stood up and turns to leave.

However, he has not taken a few steps away from the table when he heard a gasping sound from behind him.

With suspicion in his eyes, he turns around and then saw the guards looking outside the window. He carefully walks towards the window and then from his view saw that the carriage was not actually damaged at all. Even the escorts are still calmly sitting on their mounts while looking at the soldier around them.

Below, Shin Jiao and his group are showing a slight smile on their face.

"You're done with your turn; it's our turn now, right?" Xiamen Gong who is standing on the side of Shin Jiao said with a smirk.

He has already readied his sniper rifle which he has always practice in the shooting range inside the ship. He is someone who likes to fight at close range, but unlike Axle Long who always wanted to be on the front lines in battles, Xiamen Gong is a very flexible fighter. He would change his fighting style according to the circumstances.

And for that reason, he began to practice shooting at long range. After a long time of practicing, he has already gotten a hold of his accuracy which is around 70%.

With this, he is very excited to try his skill right now on the real battlefield.

Without hesitation, he has already gotten a sight of a soldier who suddenly dashed towards their group.

Bang!

The sniper rifle bullet flew out of his rifle with a strong force which made him stagger took a step back. The bullet's momentum is really strong and fast as it broke through the air and directly hits the soldier straight through his chest.

Splat!

The soldier was blown backward but because of the strong firepower of the sniper rifle, his body was shattered like tofu spewing his guts all over the place.

Those who saw this have a shocked look in their eyes as they gaze at Xiamen Gong in fear. However, before they could even think of another plan, two beautiful women suddenly jump high up in the air and began spinning like a top, one above and the other one below.

Then they heard a rapid shooting sound coming from those two women.

Although the mages amongst the soldiers are able to erect their shields, it was not that useful against the bullets of the two women.

The rapid shot immediately drained their mana and shattered their shields.

Then one after another the mages fell like dominoes as their body became riddled with bullet wounds.

"Damn it! Don't let them just attack you, everyone! Attack!" shouted Xentong Han as another whisper came to his mind making him look more like a crazy person shouting.

When the two women landed on the ground, the soldiers have once again launched their barrage of attacks which once again erupted in the air turning the location of Shin Jiao's group envelope with crimson fire and black smoke.

But this time, bullets and spells began flying out of the bellowing fire and smoke which hit the soldiers around them.

The large number of soldiers attacking Shin Jiao's group began to dwindle and the houses and buildings around the area are slowly turning into rubbles.

Luckily no soul is present in the vicinity and only the buildings are destroyed.

Shin Jiao suddenly shifted his gaze to a 3-story tower where he saw a couple of people. Without a word, his figure suddenly vanished from his mount.

Xiamen Gong and the rest noticed this but did not bother with Shin Jiao. Meanwhile, the expression of Shinyu Jiang is turning paler as she is expending a lot of her mana to create the barrier.

"You all should finish this as soon as possible, I cannot hold on any longer." She said as she gritted her teeth.

Upon seeing this, Yemei Yin suddenly disappears from the group which made the soldiers attacking them outside the barrier feel a bit worried.

Then suddenly one after another soldiers began to fall to the ground dead. A slit on their throat could be seen as the cause of their death but where it came from no one knew.

"Damn it! General Han, we already lost half of our men. If this continues on, we could not hold on anymore!" shouted one of the commanders in the group.

But before he could do anything a bullet struck his head breaking it like a watermelon.

Xentong Han at this time knew that he has once again failed. However, how could he just let everything go just like that?

He is the young general Xentong Han, one of the youngest generals in the kingdom. So how could he suffer such defeat twice? Without hesitation, he suddenly drives his stead forward towards the enemy barrier.

Shinyu Jiang who saw this showed a worried look on her face.

She could tell that this young general is very strong. Though he looks like a 1st level Arch Mage his warrior strength has already reached the 40th level. He is actually one of the strongest warriors in the kingdom, and that is the reason why he became a general.

But compared to a Grand Magus, a 40th level warrior is far too inferior. He would be at most comparable to a middle stage Arch Mage.

If this is the case, then Shinyu Jiang is confident that she could be in a match against Xentong Han. However, the problem is, she has already expended a lot of her mana and she is feeling a bit weak right now. The only thing she could do is to block his charge with her power.

"Ice wall!" she thought as a wall of thick ice suddenly began to form in the air and stood in the path of Xentong Han.

With a sneer on his face, Xentong Han extended his hand and his sword easily cut through the ice with a little effort. Then a slight confident smile appears on this face as he has already picked his target.

He could tell that the strongest amongst the group of guards is this scholarly-looking woman. So he plans to kill her first then, when the shield is down, his remaining army would be able to bombard them with their rifle staff.

With this plan in mind, he directed his steed towards Shinyu Jiang.

But then he suddenly noticed the woman looking at him with a strange smile on her face. He directed his gaze at her lips and his instinct feels that there is an immediate danger in his surroundings.

As a general, he has honed his instinct to be aware of the dangers around him. Plus he has received a gift from that person, so how could he easily fall just like that. Without hesitation, he immediately jumps from his stead and then quickly floated backward while looking at the scene in front of him.

Upon seeing what happened next, cold shivers immediately broke down his spine.
