The Geared Immortal

Chapter 500 - Air Raid

Chapter 493

/*unedited*/

In the vast skies, a huge warship is currently traveling in the air at a fair speed of around 300 km/h. According to the people manning the warship, they estimated that they would reach the capital in 2 days with this speed.

Shin Jiao at this time is inside one of the largest rooms inside the warship, and as usual busy in crafting something. He knew that once he enters the capital of Yi kingdom he would already see mechs. This made him feel a bit excited.

So he took out one of the basic frames inside his ring and began to tinker with it. Since he found a lot of strong beast in this place, he decided to make the basic frame sturdier by combining the bone and skin of the beast creating a new and sturdier metal alloy.

Shin Jiao didn't know how strong it would be, but if it could withstand his strength as a nascent realm then the basic metal frame would become his vessel to fight against the stronger beast. It would also conceal his identity which would be troublesome.

"Hmm… the 6th level beasts truly have strong bodies." He muttered.

He also began to take out some of the things from the other nascent realm cultivators he has fought. Inside the pouches that he has collected, he found some interesting materials.

"Well, well… this is a nice surprise…" Shin Jiao said as he held some weapons in his hand.

He can see that the materials in the weapon are not some common metal. Hence he began to dismantle those weapons and with his crafting ability, he was able to separate the materials in their pure form.

"Hmm… I haven't seen these metals before… Ah… black ore. Hehe… Now, this is a surprise." Shin Jiao talked to himself as he truly felt happy with the materials he received.

"Alright, it's time to compound a new alloy then." He muttered as he began to work on the new materials he obtained and the basic mech frame.

While this is happening, on the deck of the ship, the people are busy setting up the warship's armaments. Although the guards have no skill in medicine and alchemy, one thing they are proficient in is battling and armaments.

Some of them are carrying Qi powered cannons which should be mounted on castle walls or ships. The reason why they were unable to use it in the battle back then, is because they needed a stable platform for it to be mounted upon and it would take a long time to set up such a weapon.

However, with the crown prince's command, they began to arm the warship.

"Deming Er, where did you get those huge weapons?" Song Xie asked with glowing eyes.

Hearing this Yao Mai just rolled her eyes.

"Why is this disciple of mine too naïve? Couldn't she see that this friend of hers has an unusual background… If I am not wrong, this person is one of the princes or a young master of a large and powerful clan." Yao Mai thought while observing Deming Er.

Plus, his surname is Er which is like the royal family. So there is a possibility that he is one of the princes… but which one? That is the question that is lingering in her mind. And why is this prince in these parts of the kingdom with a hidden identity? These questions linger in her mind and didn't notice that her disciple is looking at her.

"Master, I… I can sense that something from the ground." Suddenly Song Xie said.

Hearing her disciple's words, Yao Mai was awoken from her stupor and immediately spreads her spiritual sense to their maximum range.

And true to what her disciple said, she suddenly saw a group of people wearing black clothes hiding at the trees below. When she saw the people her fist clenched with a worried expression. This is because she saw two infant soul realm experts among those people.

Cold aura began seeping out of her body unconsciously which made Song Xie and Deming Er feel a bit of frost forming on their skin.

"Master!" Song Xie shouted which made Yao Mai regain her senses.

"Sorry about that… Everyone! Prepare for battle!" she shouted.

As the guards in the warship began to run to their post and prepare for a fight.

"Umm… excuse me… Excuse me!" one of the soldiers asked with reluctance.

The soldier is the one standing beside the one piloting the warship. When the others heard his words, they all look at him.

"Can I ask anyone here knew what this thing is showing." The man asked with a puzzled look on his face.

While standing next to the pilot, he suddenly noticed a circular dark thing on the side of the rudder. It suddenly showed multiple red spots and this baffled him.

Upon hearing his question, Yao Mai, Song Xie, and Deming Er immediately ran towards the helm of the warship. Upon arriving they saw the two circular objects. They knew that one of those is the compass; however, they are not familiar with the other one.

But when Yao Mai said the red dots, she immediately realized that the ship actually has its own enemy detector. It's like a spiritual sense of the ship.

"Those… those are the enemies and their position." She said as she looks at the red dots.

She is sure that those are the location of the enemies inside her spiritual sense.

"This distance is about 5 kilometers. This ship's enemy detector is amazing." Yao Mai muttered.

Hearing this, Deming Er immediately raised his command. As a prince he is schooled in both combat and warfare, hence he is already aware of the enemy's location.

"All cannons, to the port side! Prepare to fire at 2 kilometers in distance." He commanded.

With his words, his guards immediately followed and adjusted the angle of their cannons.

"Wait for it!" Yao Mai stopped the young prince.

"Why teacher?" Deming Er didn't understand why they must wait.

"Wait!" Yao Mai just said as she focuses her spiritual sense to expand to more than five kilometers.

As the warship flew towards the area, she suddenly frowns upon noticing something. In front of the flying direction of the ship she suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation in the air.

"Not good… That's a barrier… Stop the ship! Stop the ship now!" she said at the pilot.

With a quick reaction, the pilot immediately rammed the brake which made the ship abruptly stop. Everyone was caught off guard and was thrown to their front. The guards were all sprawled to the ground and some are groaning in pain.

"Now, fire! Fire!" she shouted.

Deming Er didn't hesitate and also shouted, "Fire!"

Upon hearing his words, even though the guards manning the ship were sprawled to the ground, everyone immediately jumps up and then aimed and fired. Blazing line of energy suddenly appears and on their path, everything was evaporated.

When those people saw that the ship actually stopped they are all elated and began to ride their flying swords to ambush the warship.

But what greeted them is a searing beam which turned to dust everything it hits.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed throughout the forest. In the radar, almost half of the red circle suddenly vanished.

"Prepare to fire the second volley," shouted Deming Er.

Meanwhile, inside the ship, Shin Jiao was taken aback and was on the ground. He has not finished completing the basic frame yet. So this situation made him feel a bit mad. So he immediately took everything inside his ring and angrily walks out.

Meanwhile, the people who had an excited look on their faces are now filled with fear. They did not expect their companions to die just like that. However, this didn't deter their determination to capture the large ship.

Before they decide to ambush the ship, they already knew what they are going to face. Hence this situation didn't make them lower their desire to obtain such loot.

And so with a seemingly berserk state of mind, everyone flew to the sky and began to spread out. This situation made it hard for the people on the ship to focus their fire.

And so, the ship's shield began to flicker as hundreds of flying weapons and spells are sent towards it.

When Shin Jiao was about to go out to the deck he has already detected that the ship was attacked and his anger is now shifted to the people who are doing the air raid to their ship. But seeing the situation, he felt a bit relaxed.

This is because the guards acted fast.

Since they could not use the cannons, they began to take out their own flying weapons and also chanted an incantation. Then from the ship, a flurry of attacks was sent towards the bandits outside, and the clash became chaotic.

Meanwhile, not too far from the area, a group of people are watching at the scene.

"Master, that is a warship… if we can get that, we will have our own mobile base. Hehe…"

"With my formation array ability, I can make that warship almost impregnable." One of the men with a powerful aura said with a sinister gleam in his eyes.

"This is truly a nice piece of pie… We should thank those people who hire us in this mission… Hahaha…" the man they called master said while laughing heartily.

They have received a mission to assassinate an important person. To make sure that there are no witnesses, they are commanded to kill everyone.

As one of the most notorious mercenary groups in these parts, they willingly accepted the task with the condition that they can have the loot. With that condition, they agreed with the task and have gathered all of their elites just to finish this task.

"Hehe… I can taste victory… Everyone! Attack!" shouted their leader as his group rises through the air.
