The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1223 - Myrth: 194



Chapter 1223

(Unedited)

As the days passed by, the atmosphere in the battlefield became peaceful and it was literally so when the forces of the Glysko kingdom as thoroughly withdrawn to their side in the borderlands.

The piece of news that the Glysko soldiers have retreated made the soldiers of the Jimal kingdom and the citizen in the border towns become elated.

Why would they not feel happy when the enemy has finally given up in the war and the killings have stopped?

But of course, they knew that the kingdom of Glysko is vying for their time and is researching the stolen tech from the kingdom of Jimal.

At the same time, the research of the Mecha technology has reached the capital of the kingdom of Glysko and they too began their own research and build Mecha hangar in the capital.

With the brightest minds and abundant resources in the kingdom, the capital of Jimal is the perfect place to improve and research Mecha technology.

But this type of technology is based on the old Mecha blueprint as many of the rune and smithing masters are convinced that the original blueprint is better than the new ones which turned out to be more complicated.

Xin Ja did not bother with this as he is busy with his own stuff.

Inside the barracks, Xin Ja just come back from the workshop.

"Hey, Junior Officer Xin… Have you already received your discharge papers?" a soldier greeted him with a big smile on his face.

Xin Ja was a bit surprised to hear such words from the guy.

"Discharge papers? You mean… we can go home now?" Xin Ja asked with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

How could he not feel excited when it is now time for him to go back home?

He truly missed his father, Yao Xue, and his pet Xuanlong.

The war has taken some time and he did not even know how long has he spent on the battlefield. However, no matter what, he still could not go home and it made him feel excited.

The soldier explained to him the process and Xin Ja thanked the soldier after he understood what is happening.

He quickly went back to his quarters and what greeted him is a petite and beautiful figure standing just outside his door while pouting impatiently.

"Hey, Big sister Yaoyao! Why are you here this early?" Xin Ja asked with a big smile on his face.

"Oh, there you are! I\'ve been waiting for some time…" Qiang Yaoyao said with a complaint in her tone.

"Sorry, I was just finishing up what I needed to give the crown prince before they depart to the capital tomorrow…"

"Really… So you really build that thing that can make you fly?" she said with a hint of disbelief in her tone.

When Xin Ja explained to her this for the first time, Qiang Yaoyao almost could not believe his words. But then as he explained she could not help but nod her head in understanding.

And so she has a bit of knowledge about the jet pack for the Mechas. However, she is not hat interested as she is an alchemist and she just wanted to learn how to concoct potions.

Xin Ja explained to her the blueprint and then promised to take her on flight one of these days.

Qiang Yaoyao wanted it to happen 2 days from now because she is going to be discharged soon… so Xin Ja agreed.

2 days later…

Most of the personnel, who are not related to fighting, have not been dismissed and were sent home by batches.

At this time, Xin Ja and Qiang Yaoyao are standing on a clearing while Xin Ja sets up the jetpack and the accessories in his body.

After checking that everything is good, he looks at Qiang Yaoyao.

"Are you ready?" he asked with a smile.

"Okay… What should I do?" she asked with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Umm… I need to hold you tightly…" Xin Ja said with a hint of awkwardness.

He now realized that he would need to hug Qiang Yaoyao so as to be able to carry her.

"What do you mean?" Qiang Yaoyao asked but then suddenly showed a blush on her face.

"Do not fret… This will be fun…" Xin Ja said as he showed a determined expression and he suddenly do a princess carry on Qiang Yaoyao in his arms.

"You… you… let me down this instant!" Qiang Yaoyao protested and hit Xin Ja\'s chest.

But she suddenly stopped when she heard the jetpack begin to sound.

Then the two of them slowly lifted in the air.

"Eeeek!!! Do not let me go!" she shrieked as she hugged Xin Ja\'s neck tightly.

She even hid her face on his chest as she suddenly feels flustered.

Soon, the two hovered higher in the air, and then she slowly opens her eyes. She was immediately taken aback by the scene before her.

As they rose a little higher, she could now see the whole 5th fortress and small people on it busily working.

"They are so small... Hihi…" she said as she looks at Xin Ja.

When she saw his face, she suddenly blushed.

"No… What am I thinking? Xin Ja is my friend…" she suddenly thought as she shakes her head.

"Hold on tight, we will now fly over there…" Xin Ja said while pointing at the horizon.

The two then began to fly in the air which has attracted the eyes of many people from the 5th fortress. This is true, especially for the officers who are currently inside a tall building having a meeting.

"Sir! Junior Officer Xin has done it again!" an officer suddenly barges inside the room.

This startled the senior officers who are in a meeting while discussing something about the redeployment of the old troops once the reserve troops are sent back home.

"You should knock before you enter, where is your decorum? What do you mean?" a senior officer berated but then asked that soldier after.

The soldier did not say something and just opened the window of the room.

The senior officers look outside and their eyes went wide in astonishment.

Every one of them knew that the crown prince has given Xin Ja a task. And it took him some days before it was done and was given to the crown prince. However, they did not know what that task was and what was given to the crown prince.

Now that they are seeing someone hovering in the air while carrying a young and beautiful girl, the seniors could not help but have their lips twitch.

"That brat would use such new technology to impress a woman? Sigh… the passion of the young generation is truly admirable…" General Tee said while showing a big smile on his face.

"General… This… If this could be used by our soldiers… then…" a senior officer said but stopped when the others glared at him.

"This is something that was developed so that we can defend ourselves from the enemy…" General Fang said with a smile.

General Fang is a bit happy nowadays after receiving the Mecha that was designed especially for him. It was a Mecha for a covert operation which is part of his specialty.

When he saw it, and that long weapon on its side, he almost could not help but praise Xin Ja for the craftsmanship and the design of the Mecha.

He called his Mecha… Ghost-X.

"Alright, since that project is now functional we should inform Xin Ja to submit the plans… I wonder what that lad would ask this time?…" General Tee muttered.

He has received weird conditions from that young man in submitting these things. He remembers when he was asked to submit the short-range radio communication, that young lad actually asked for rare metal. It made him feel confused, but they tried their best to comply.

And because of that, the soldiers can now use short-range communication in their mission. This enables them to efficiently monitor the enemy and communicate with the soldiers on the battleground.

"I think he would ask to marry that young lady… Hehe…" a senior officer chuckled.

"Sigh… Those two are not in such a relationship. But if they could be, then that would be the blessing of our Alesia city…" an officer said who seems to be familiar with Qiang Yaoyao.

"Haha… The most probable thing is that he would ask to be dismissed." General Fang suddenly said with a smile.

Everyone was silent.

In truth, the service of Xin Ja has already passed its limit. And he should have been discharged days ago. But he is far too precious to the military that they did not want to let him go.

However, they knew that the inevitable is about to happen.

And so…

A week later…

Xin Ja and Yao Mai Lin are already inside a carriage going back home to Ogden town.

Xin Ja is still sleeping as the officers and soldiers bidding him farewell made him drunk until he passed out last night.

Yao Mai Lin on the side could not help but shake her head at the still snoring youth lying in the middle of the carriage.

"We\'re coming home…" she muttered with a hint of excitement and sadness in her eyes.
