Chapter 1219
(Unedited)
…
Glysko kingdom, Gumara City
A long makeshift carriage being pulled by several steeds is running down the main road towards the city gates. Beside it are a few powerful warriors of the kingdom and there is even a figure calmly standing atop the carriage.
The figure is wearing a black mask that's covering his face and only his eyes could be seen.
His mask does not have any ornaments or features. It is just a plain black mask.
When the long carriage enters the city, it has already attracted many eyes.
The long carriage then went to the large military fort of the city.
Inside the military fort, the soldiers and the people in the carriage began to unload everything and the thing they are carrying slowly stood up from the carriage making a creaking sound.
The soldier's eyes went wide while seeing the thing and their heart could not help but beat faster in nervousness.
This is the thing that has created a nightmare for every soldier in the Glysko kingdom... the so-called Mecha.
"Hahaha… It is truly magnificent… If we can mass-produce this thing, then our forces will be unstoppable!" the man who was standing atop the carriage a while ago said as he landed on the ground while walking at a group of men that looks like military officers.
"You're right, Ki Master Holo… Our kingdom will become victorious and we can finally conquer the kingdom of Jimal which the others have not done before…" a high-ranking officer said while a gleam in his eyes.
In fact, they have lost far too many soldiers in this war and have suffered too much. They even sacrificed 4 powerful 10th level Ki fighters just to get their hands on a single unit.
They can actually send higher-level Ki Adepts, but the losses would be far too huge for them to bear.
The fighting capability of a Mecha is far too dangerous for them to underestimate.
Soon, the Mecha unit was sent inside the already newly constructed hangar. It lay on the ground, and the rune and smithing masters began their work.
"When do you think you can copy and reproduce this thing?" asked Ki Master Holo as he slowly scrutinized the Mecha.
On the way to this place, he has tried piloting one and he knew that he could use it if he spread his Ki in the machine. But the material used to build the machine is only subpar and could only handle about 20% of his strength and energy before the metal would begin to produce a creaking sound.
"Master… at least around a week… I noticed that there are a lot of intricacies and details on this thing. It is not like metal armor. This thing is using many components and many things that we have not seen before…" the man in charge said honestly.
"Hmm… Tomorrow, the minds in the kingdom of Glysko will be coming here… I expect results…" he said then takes one last look at the Mecha and left.
That night, everyone is busy as they slowly dismantled the Mecha. Meanwhile, Ki Master Holo is currently in a separate hangar where there is a large weapon on the platform.
People are slowly cutting through the side of the weapon as the smithing masters have determined that it was the optimal location to open the thing.
But then there was an accident that happened as they tried to open the compressed air weapon.
Bam!!!
When they forcefully opened it, there was a low explosion that happened inside and everything inside the weapon was turned into dust.
Everyone was startled and quickly jumps away from the weapon.
The Ki Master could not help but cursed out as his eyes looks at the weapon on the platform again. He could not help but throw many curses at the person who created such a trap and also the smithing masters who did not know better.
"Damn it! You're all a bunch of retards! And that person who created this trap is a bastard! Did he really not want to let us live?! I will kill the bastard once I see him…" he cursed angrily as he walks out with a clenched fist and gritted teeth.
He went back to the Mecha who has already been dismantled after a whole day of work.
When it was nighttime, they activated light arrays which illuminate the whole hangar, like it was daytime. Although these kinds of light arrays are expensive, they still decide to use them as necessary for their project.
When he saw the intricate parts and the many people working on it, he showed a hint of satisfaction and admiration at the Mecha.
"If only we can get our hands on that guy…" he said as he changes his mind not to kill that person.
The next day…
A large group of the convoy arrives at the city and went directly to the military fort.
When the carriage stops, no one said anything as the people inside the carriage has already jumped out from inside.
They quickly ran towards the hangar and have an excited look on their faces as they saw the half dismantled Mecha on the platform surface.
"Hihihi… I can't believe that I could see the actual thing. The thing that could change the era of warfare in our land…" an excited old man said as he quickly walks towards the Mecha.
"Hmm… Is everything recorded…" he suddenly asked the person who greeted them.
"Yes, great master…" that person replied as he handed the old man a document.
"Hmm… Good… Good… proceed carefully when dismantling the internal parts… That is the core of this thing…" he said with a satisfied smile.
The Glysko kingdom began their busy days dismantling, recording, and learning the structure of the Mecha that has fallen in their hands.
…
Meanwhile, in the 5th fortress…
A long line of carriages is currently traveling towards the fortress gate coming from the direction of the 5th fortress town.
Inside one of the carriages sits a man in his 30s with a regal appearance and wearing a light cyan nobleman's robe. His face almost looks like that of the 4th prince, Han Bai, but he has a more mature aura around him. Right at this moment, he has his eyes closed and a strange aura is revolving around him as he held a Ki stone in his hand.
This man is the current crown prince of the Jimal Kingdom, Prince Han Jiban.
"My prince we have arrived at the 5th fortress…" a man reported from outside the carriage.
When the crown prince heard the words of the man, he slowly opened his eyes and took a glance outside the window.
He could see the beautiful scenery on the side and as he shifted his gaze ahead, his eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
This is because he saw two Mecha units standing by the gate.
The Mecha unit he is seeing right now is different from those that he has seen at the Central Fortress of the Southern border guards.
The Central Fortress has also created their own version of Mecha which is distributed in their ranks. But those Mechas are a bit thin and look flimsy.
The one he is seeing right now looks like a standard military soldier wearing heavy armor and weaponry.
"Hmm… The model is a bit weird… but practical… No wonder, the Central Fortress is having a headache in modifying their own Mechas…" the crown prince said.
The OMM model 01 that Xin Ja has created is a bit different from the original version of the Mecha which has a moving head. With the four cameras, the OMM 01 almost has no blind spots.
The carriages soon arrive inside the 5th fortress and the crown prince was greeted by his own brother and the high-ranking officers.
At this time, Xin Ja is still in his workshop currently working on the drawing board. When the old model Mecha was stolen he knew that the spread of the Mecha in this world would not stop. And it would spread in all the kingdoms and the empires.
So, to be able to advance and get ahead of everyone, he needed to create a unique type of Mecha… a Mecha that is different from others and might even have the ability to rapidly be sent anywhere in the kingdom.
But he has to get over some difficult obstacles at hand.
So he decided to create a miniature version of the thing first before implementing it on the Mechas.
The blueprint on the table right now is for him to test out his theories.
"I hope that this would work…" he muttered while drafting the last line.
He looks at the thing on his table and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
But before he could feel happy, his train of thoughts was disturbed by a loud knocking on his door.
"Junior Officer Xin… you are being called in the meeting…" the soldier reported as he waited outside the door of Xin Ja's office inside the workshop.
"Meeting? Me? Why?" Xin Ja thought as he slowly stands up in confusion.
