Chapter 1208

(Unedited)

…

"I did not find anything useful…" one of the men inside the room said.

"It seems that the base is really keeping everything under wraps, they are too cautious."

"I tried entering the storage facility, but I saw nothing in that place…"

The men inside the room reported one by one.

They all have helpless expressions on their faces. They are considered as one of the best infiltrating and mercenary groups in the empire, and they could not even find anything about a mere small kingdom?

This felt like humiliation for them.

"These country bumpkins are not to be underestimated…"

"I think we just had an unlucky day… If we observe more, then I think we can find something…"

"Let's hire someone from the inside, just like last time…"

"Yeah, we could… But that wasted a lot of our time and resources. Plus that flying project was a failure in the end. We just lost a lot in that assignment…"

"So what should we do then? Just give up?"

They discussed while the only woman in the group is silently sitting and calmly looking at them. She heaves a deep sigh then takes out a piece of scroll.

She then put the scroll on the table and show it to them.

"This is what I have taken from that brat's room…" she said as she unfurled the scroll and a drawing of a Mecha could be seen.

"I think they are showing on the outside a failed product. But in truth, they have already perfected it to such a degree…" she said as she pointed at the Mecha on the table.

That Mecha is the first draft that Xin Ja has drawn for the 4th prince. However, it is the rough draft of the Mecha and not the complete one, so it looks a bit different.

"This one looks more complicated than what they have shown in the presentation. If this is the finished product, then we can just wait for them to use these things, and then find where they are hiding them… That way we can get our hands on these things…" she suggested.

"How about piloting?..." one of them asked.

"I've already remembered their training facility… I think I can replicate it…" someone answered.

"Alright, we wait for them to take action while we train… after we are ready… then… Hihi…" the woman said with an evil smile on her face.

She did not want her group to take action because she realized that the young man named Xin Ja has a very sharp sense. He was actually able to sense her at that time and chased after her. Luckily she was fast enough to escape.

"After I get my hands on your toys, I will play with you… young brat." She muttered with a smirk.

…

And so, days gone by and Xin Ja has finally finished the construction of the Mecha for the 4th prince.

When Han Bai saw the Mecha… his expression turned complicated while looking at it. He did not know whether he would be happy or worried.

With the new Mecha, he could now enter the battle… However, he is worried that his brother and father would not let him enter any battle even with a Mecha.

"Thank you, Junior Officer Xin. This is truly magnificent…" he said as he walks beside the Mecha and slowly caresses one of its legs.

"Since this is the first model of its kind, you name it your highness…" Xin Ja suggested.

"Hmm… That's right… Since this is my own Mecha, I want to call it… Blue Dragon 04… Well, its color is blue anyway… so… Hehe…" Han Bai said with a chuckle.

"That is a good name your highness… an officer who is standing on the side agreed…"

"Junior Officer Xin, this is still based on the basic frame, right? You just change its body and some of its parts…" Han Bai asked.

"Yes, your highness… The Mecha's frame is already a standard. Whether it grows bigger or smaller, the frame is already the standard frame with mobility equal to a human and more. So we do not have to change the internal structure. Well, that is thanks to Chief Goh's genius suggestion. So the outer casing of the Mecha is now interchangeable, making it more versatile and useful…" Xin Ja explained.

"Haha… I want to create one of my own…" the high-ranking officer said as his eyes glistened.

While they are admiring the Mecha, General Fang suddenly enters the workshop.

"My prince… There is trouble…" he said.

General Fang is from the investigation department, so when he said that there is the trouble it means that they found something amiss with the movement of the enemy.

…

Not long later, the group of high-ranking officers is inside the room while looking at the screen.

"This is the video that we have found while investigating the missing squad near the border of the 4th fortress and our 5th fortress." an officer from General Fang's squad explained while the video is playing.

"As you can see, they have discovered a large number of enemy soldiers heading to the town in this area…" he said while encircling a portion of the map on the table.

"In two days' time… I believe that the town of Tork will fall…" the officer said as he pointed at the video.

From the video, they could see not more than 20 metal golems that the Glysko kingdom uses. These metal golems are worn by 10th level Ki fighters as a set of armor.

"Damn it! There are 20 of them?… This will be a dangerous fight…" Han Bai said while looking at the tall golems being carried by open carriages.

He then turns to one of the officers standing.

"Call, Junior Officer Xin… Tell him to come here…" Han Bai said.

When that officer walks out after nodding, General Fang looks at the 4th prince.

"Are thinking of asking him to create a new weapon?" General Fang asked with suspicion.

"Hmm… Not a new weapon… but an armament for a Mecha…" Han Bai said as he pointed at the map.

"This area in here, are all tall mountains. It is a perfect place for an ambush. However, the range of the compressed air weapon is just around 200 meters. So they would not be helpful if we arrange an ambush in this place." he explained.

"But I recalled a report saying that Junior Officer Xin is able to kill even with a range of more than 1 kilometer… Now, imagine if we have such a weapon…" Han Bai said with a smile.

Everyone in the room immediately got the idea and looks at each other in excitement.

It did not take long before Xin Ja enters the room.

He immediately noticed everyone looking at him with strange gazes.

Xin Ja feels like looking for a hole and hiding inside of it at this moment. He did not expect to see this high-ranking officer to be waiting for him like this.

But as a soldier, he still knows propriety so he immediately recovered his composure and greeted.

"Junior Officer Xin, reporting your highness and to all senior officers!" he quickly cupped his hands.

Han Bai nodded his head and then gestured for Xin Ja to sit down.

"Junior Officer Xin, we have called you here because of this…" Han Bai said as he gestured for an officer to play the video.

When Xin Ja saw the video he feel a bit worried.

"It's the Glysko kingdom soldiers… Are… are they attacking again?" Xin Ja asked with worry.

He knew the horror of war, and he knew that if the large army attacks a town, then death toll and suffering would once again ensue.

He could not let those bastards win… so he is worried.

"Yes… They are going to attack Tork. We have a plan, but we need a new weapon to be able to execute it…" Han Bai said.

Xin Ja looks at the expectant gazes of everyone in the room. He could not help but swallow his saliva, he could only lament as he now discovered that crafty smile on the 4th prince's face.

He knew that Han Bai is someone who loves his people. So although he knew that Han Bai is using this excuse for him to create new armaments for the Mecha, he did not mind.

He heaves a deep sigh as he already have some ideas on what they needed. In fact, he has already used this type of weapon before when he was defending the town of Tiig.

At that time, the enemy is already at the broken walls and he just finished creating the chemical that he used for the bombs.

As he looks at the map and the number of soldiers on the video, Xin Ja knew that they needed something that resembles the bomb.

But it should be timed and could be shot from a compressed air weapon.

As his mind works, he slowly formed 3 weapon blueprints that could be of help to this kind of situation.
