Chapter 1176: Myrth: 146

(Unedited)

…

In the midst of all the chaos that is happening outside the Misty Village, Xin Ja is currently staying inside his workshop busily completing the machine that he started a few days ago.

Right now, the machine has a head that looks like a soldier's leather helmet from the Yuan Dynasty with three cameras as its eyes… one in the middle and one on both sides of its head.

The body is a bit bulky and circular in which is enough to fit a single person inside of its chest.

Because Xin Ja is still unable to still figure out the way to create the legs as he has not created a computing machine, he could only create a continuous track which is called caterpillar tracks.

Using Ki stone as a power core for the machine, he feels a bit contented with the result of his work for the past few days.

If he was on earth where Shin Jiao came from, this thing would take weeks, months, or even years to create. But in this world, he has created it spending all of his efforts without even resting in less than a week's time.

Looking at his work, Xin Ja showed a smile on his face. He suddenly feel a hint of excitement in his heart as he could not wait to hop on inside and test out the machine he just created.

Knock! Knock!

A loud knocking sound echoed inside the workshop.

"Come in…" Xin Ja said as he did not even turn around and just continuously admires the thing in front of him.

"Young Master Xin… our scouts have detected about 1,000 soldiers marching towards us from behind the village, and there is a large group of soldiers about 2,000 coming at the front… I think they are trying to figure out what had happened to their comrades…" Yi Terai said after she enters the workshop.

She then began reading the report from the scouts on the leather scroll she is holding.

When she stopped reading she raised her head and noticed that Xin Ja seems not paying attention to her. She became a bit annoyed and curious at the same time, then shifted her gaze to where he is looking.

She could not help but gasp in astonishment as her eyes landed on the machine.

She clearly saw the appearance of the machine from before and she could tell that it was not that amazing to look at. In fact, it was useless to them. So she could not understand why Xin Ja would spend time on a useless thing.

But now that she saw what he did, she was taken aback.

It might not be as tall as before, but it looks more imposing now and the design is very intricate.

"Beautiful, right?" Xin Ja said with a smile.

Yi Terai was still in her dumbfounded state and could not say a word of reply.

"How… how did it become like this?" she muttered.

"Hehe… I have reconfigured everything. And now this thing would be useful to even the lowest Ki fighter…" Xin Ja said.

"What… what do you mean?"

"Well, I mean… it can be used by anyone as long as that person undergoes training on how to pilot it…" Xin Ja explained.

Suddenly, Yi Terai became interested in the machine and takes a step towards it. She carefully walks towards the machine and then feels the metal surface. She then began to scrutinize the machine and feel that it was built really well.

"How strong is this now?" she asked as he hopped on the caterpillar tracks looks closely at its head.

"Hmm… I think around level 10… for the energy and shield. But the metal body and its frame, it's only at level 5…"

Upon hearing the explanation, the expression of Yi Terai turned stiff. She could not believe what she is hearing.

If this thing is how it is, then this means that this thing alone could face a general or a commander of the enemy forces.

But of course, that is in the premise that it could be as agile as its counterpart.

"We can surely defend the village with such a thing…" she said excitedly.

"Well, I made it so that we can use it for the village…"

"You mean, you will try it now?"

"Yeah, what other good places to try this machine other than here… with the enemy in front and behind us, this would be a good testing ground."

"Then who would…"

"Do you want to try it?"

Yi Terai was a bit stunned, but her curiosity and excitement has gotten hold of her so she quickly nodded.

  After giving his instruction, Yi Terai did not hesitate to enter the cockpit of the machine. The boot-up takes only a minute, as the body of the machine began moving.

The control for the arms is manual and she would have to rely on her own strength assisted by Ki to further enhance the mechanism.

It took a while before she got used to the movement of the arms, then the control for the movement of the tracks is through pedals. There are no speed gears, the more she steps on the pedals the faster the machine would go.

To stop or brake, she would only need to retract her feet. There are three pedals, one for moving both the tracks, the other two are for the left and right tracks movements.

After learning the basics inside, Yi Terai began to move the machine inside the workshop as she practices basic movements.

The more she practices the more she became excited.

…

Outside of the Misty Village borders…

A group of 2,000 soldiers is standing at the edge of the misty forest. The 2,000 soldiers consist of 2 battalions and there are even two large golems amongst the ranks of the soldier.

The golems are currently being moved and are being assembled by the smithing masters and runemasters of the kingdom of Glysko.

These masters have a proud look on their faces as they quickly assemble the 4 meters tall golem which towers above the soldiers.

"Soldiers of the Glysko kingdom! We are here to find our brothers who were lost… This place is where they were last found. We suspect that an enemy force is cowardly hiding within this mist… We will punish them for their atrocities against our fair kingdom! We will kill them all!" shouted a large man with a thick beard.

The soldiers were roused by his words and they raised their weapons and shouted their war cries.

"Prepare the trebuchets!" shouted an officer.

The soldiers did not waste time and quickly assemble two trebuchets at the back of the army. The assembly took about an hour or more before the weapon is now ready to attack.

The soldiers light up the projectile which was quickly loaded in the trebuchet and then slings it in the air.

The projectile began to burn brightly as it landed within the mist and lit the whole forest.

With the first projectile shot, the army now has a point and could not see a bit clearly inside the mist. They then began to fling one projectile after another after adjusting the range. But it seems that the projectile could only hit the walls made of wood and burn them asunder.

Now that visibility within the mist is already partially clear, the officers lifted their hands and shouted.

"Attack!"

The soldiers began rushing to the mist while the officers are watching behind.

"As soon as we take down the village, we should get rid of this mist…" an officer said with a frown.

"The mist is a natural defense of this place… we can use it to our advantage." Another one chimed in.

"Yeah, but it poses more danger than an advantage for our soldiers…"

"Well, we can just station more soldiers in here and make it into a fort. That way, we can control their whole forest…"

"Hmm… Since the runemasters have confirmed that this place is not like the town we have lost, then it would be easy for us to take it back."

In the middle of all the officers in the army, two middle-aged-looking men are sitting calmly while watching the soldiers easily reach the village.

"It seems that the enemy has run away…" one of the middle-aged men said with a frown.

"We are not sure about this… We should wait…" the other one said.

"Prepare the cavalry troops…"

"Wait… Do not be impulsive, let us wait and see… I have a bad feeling about this."

With those words, the two waited to convey their commands as they watch the situation inside the mist. The silhouette of the village gate which was once clear to them is now getting a bit blurry.

"Damn it, the effect of the catapult is getting weaker… We should just attack now…" one of the middle-aged men said as he stood up.

"Commander Kou… I have a bad feeling about this. Do not be impulsive…"

"Commander Tsin… if you are afraid then just say it so… I will not wait in here. I will rush in there and destroy whatever stands in my way…" Commander Kou said with a sneer on his face.

He quickly walks forward along with his officers and approaches the mist.. Behind them, one of the metal armor also began moving.
