Chapter 1207 - Myrth: 178

Chapter 1207

(Unedited)

…

The two Mechas fought as metal sparks could be seen flying everywhere. The battle is a bit intense which made the onlooker gasp.

Suddenly, Yao Mai Lin got the chance to maneuver and did a shoulder throw on her opponent. Which shook the area as the large and heavy Mecha was slammed on the ground.

The fight ended at that time as she rolled away from her opponent's Mecha.

"What was that? Is that even possible?"

"Damn it! They are really like moving giants… Hahaha… This is awesome!"

"These Mechas would surely rule the battlefield…"

The onlookers cheered as the other Mecha stopped moving while the other one stood straight while watching the one on the ground.

Suddenly, everyone became worried about what happened to the pilot. They just watch while on the operator's side, they are already calling the radio of Rong Yulong.

Without a response, everyone is now worried and afraid that something might have happened to him.

"Junior Officer Yao… Please check on the condition of Junior Officer Rong…" the command was given from the radio.

"Yes, sir!" Yao Mai Lin replied as she was about to move.

But then someone stopped her.

"Do not be worried… The Mecha has a failsafe system. Nothing will happen to the pilot unless it is a fatal shot…" A young voice came out of the radio.

"Eh… Hey, is that you Junior Xin Ja?" Yao Mai Lin excitedly called out.

"Yes, senior… I see that you're as strong and as competitive as ever… Hehe…"

"You little brat… Are you teasing me?" she said with a pout.

"Ahem… Guys… this line is live…"

The two were startled and Yao Mai Lin could see the high-ranking officers looking at her Mecha with smiles on their faces and shaking their heads.

"Ahh! Sorry… Sorry, Sir!" she said in a panic.

She was about to move and help Rong Yulong when suddenly she saw the Mecha on the ground slowly standing up.

The people cheered upon seeing this.

"Junior Officer Rong, are you alright?" someone from command asked.

"Yes, sir! I… I was just knocked out by the strong impact…" he replied showing a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Actually, he was not knocked out but was shocked when Yao Mai Lin caught him off-guard and was slammed on the ground.

She was his junior, and she is also weaker than him by a level. However, he was actually slammed on the ground. He was too ashamed to suddenly wake up. Plus, when he wanted to wake up, the core actually restarted.

He knew that this is the failsafe system so that the machine would not explode upon heavy impact.

"Alright, the test is over… Everyone! Give them a round of applause!…" the officer said as he gestured at the two Mechas who are now standing side by side.

The children who are watching this scene have excited looks on their faces.

"Papa, I want one of those!"

"They look really big… I want to ride one someday!"

Meanwhile, the adults in the area have a look of respect and admiration for the Mechas. They knew that their kingdom borders would surely be safe with these things around.

Meanwhile, amongst the crowd, there is a shady figure that is already walking away.

She walks through the alleyways just outside the 5th fortress and soon arrives in a small Inn.

Inside the inn, there are not many people as almost everyone has watched the test presentation of the Mecha.

Inside a particular room, there are four people sitting around a table while talking silently.

When the figure walks inside, they all show vigilance while they look at the figure.

The figure lifted the cloak and a beautiful face of a woman in her 30s appears.

"Leader! What is happening outside?" asked one of the men.

"Hihi… I think we hit the jackpot. They have finally unveiled the new Mecha and it is more than we expected. These people from the Jimal Kingdom are truly ingenious… No wonder our employers have lost the fight before they can even invade the kingdom."

"Really, then what about the plan to invade another town?" asked another man.

"We need to make sure that these things could not be mass-produced yet. According to what I could tell, I think that after all this time, they have only made not more than 10 of these things… From the way, it is created and its design, I think that the kingdom of Jimal will have a hard time mass producing them… but, we have to make sure first. Send someone to infiltrate the smithing department…"

"Yes, leader!"

"And also… I want the creator, that Xin Ja captured if we can. If not, then just kill him." she commanded.

With a nod of their heads, the group then disperses and leaves the room while the woman was the only one left inside.

"Interesting… Very interesting… It would be nice to get on one of those things… Hihi…" she said as she licks her lips and a sinister smile appears on her face.

She grabs the cloak on the side and she walks out of the room and faded into the darkness.

…

It was already nighttime when the group began to make their move. They did not do anything big this time and just investigate the areas around the 5th fortress. They dare not enter the inner areas, but just befriended some of the soldiers and ask for information.

2 days later…

Xin Ja has just finished drawing and finalizing the draft for the 4th prince's Mecha. He stretches his body while walking outside his room.

Suddenly, he saw a maid walking by.

The maid was startled when their eyes met.

"Oh, I'm sorry… I was just startled… Good afternoon, young master Xin." She greeted with a bow.

Xin Ja did not mind her and just nodded his head. He wanted to get some air and walks towards the balcony.

As he has his back on the woman, she slowly turns her head and looks at him with a smile on her face.

"He is very young indeed… Hihi…" she muttered in a low voice while licking her lips as if she has just seen something delicious.

Xin Ja saw Chief Goh sitting with other smithing masters while drinking some tea and relaxing.

"Hey, Little Ja! Are you finally coming out of your cave?" Chief Goh teases which made the other smithing masters show smiles on their faces.

"Haha… Young man, you did a good job in the presentation. I did not expect that those things would be so sturdy that they would not even break after being slammed on the ground." A smithing master said while shaking his head.

"Well, of course, it won't… Our group is assigned to weld those things properly you know…" the other one interjected with a proud expression on his face.

"The production has stopped for a while, because of the command from the top. But we have just received an order to mobilize a squad." Chief Goh said.

Everyone became interested upon hearing his words.

"Really, what is it for?"

"Another test?"

"Maybe…"

They did not discuss further that thing here and the group continues drinking while relaxing.

When Xin Ja finished and decided to go back to work, he enters his room and looks around. He suddenly found something different about the room. It was like he has sensed that someone has actually entered his room.

But he is not that worried about anything… because his works are not left inside the room, but in his ring.

But he just feels a bit confused and then what came to his mind is the weird feeling he has about that maid that he just met outside.

Feeling a bit alarmed, Xin Ja quickly ran outside and tried to look for that maid for he did not find her anymore.

He quickly went inside the storage facility and enters the supervisor's room.

"Ah… Junior Officer Xin… What an honor for you to visit me…" the supervisor greeted.

"Officer Cao… I'm just here to check. How many personnel have access to this place?" Xin Ja asked.

"Hmm… Let's see… beside me and my two assistants, the cadets can enter this place… Why is that?" Officer Cao replied.

"No, I just have a bad feeling." Xin Ja said.

"Hehe… Don't worry too much Junior Officer Xin. Because of the importance of this project, this whole area is protected by an array… I think it was you who created this array if I can recall… the disguising array…" the supervisor said with a confident smile.

"You mean…"

"Those who will try to enter this place unauthorized will not actually trigger an alarm but instead, they will find nothing… just a pile of scraps…"

Xin Ja nodded his head in understanding. He did not expect that the fortress has already made its plans ahead of time.

"Then that is good… that is good…" Xin Ja said as he heaves a deep sigh.

…

Meanwhile, in that same room in an inn outside of the 5th fortress, the same group has once again assembled.

And each of them has a crestfallen expression on their face.
