Chapter 702 - The border land skirmish

Chapter 702

(Unedited)

…

"Three hundred villages, and thirty towns… those are the loses. If we could not push them back, then we would expect this war to escalate further. With the help of the Zith'ra race, we would be hard press to defend our borders." A man wearing white garb said while sitting along with six more people in the room.

"We will send all of our reinforcements to the Osmond clan and hope that we could hold on until the new weapon arrives." The young woman in a yellow gown said with a serious expression on her face.

"Do you really think that the new weapon is comparable to the weapons used by the high elves?"

"I think so… it is very powerful but hard to produce. If only the one who created it was not caught as a hostage 2 years ago, then we could have created its perfect form."

"Then you are saying that what you have created is only a replica and is not that strong?"

The woman who introduces the new weapon turns her head towards the man from the Vin clan.

"Lord Aiya Wine and Lord Jinga Vin were the ones who oversee the creation of such weapon under the supervision of Ta'al city's three saint rulers. They have confirmed to me that the weapon is strong enough to destroy a piece of silver armor if silver armored protector uses it, the same goes for the gold armor." The young man said.

"Alright, how long will it take before they could reach the Osmond clan headquarters?"

"Around a month via airship's fastest speed. That is if they did not encounter anything on the road."

"We from the Wine clan will send some fast sh.i.p.s as an escort…"

"We from the demi-human clan would also send some fast sh.i.p.s as an escort…"

The two clans where the airship that would be carrying the new weapons be passing immediately offer their help.

"Saint Lord Ag-ton… why do you think the Zith'ra race is helping the High Elves?"

"Hmm… I think the High Elves are using something to attract those blue giants to their side."

"You mean… Holy artifacts?"

"Yes, that's the only thing that could make those blue giants lend their helping hands."

"But Holy Artifacts are so rare that in the human race we only have three of them."

"That is because we don't have any crafter powerful enough to create holy artifacts…"

As the discussion within the room progresses, the war in the borders also worsens. Although the immortals would not die, the Zith'ra race has its way of imprisoning or hindering an immortal's mind. Hence, though not dead, those who are resurrected are as good as useless in the war.

In the outskirts of the borders of the Osmond clan, a large group of an army numbering up to twenty thousand is currently marching towards the next town. It is the only remaining town that is standing between the first border city of the Osmond clan and the invading army.

This town is called the town of Gipard. Gipard is not your typical normal town. Due to its location within the outside borders of the Osmon clan territory, their walls and defenses are top-notch.

One could say that the town is far stronger when it comes to defensive capability than any other cities in the human race territory.

Advance defensive and trapping arrays are set up all over the town's boundary, which covers hundreds of kilometers. Plus the inhabitants within the town even have high lords living amongst them. This is the reason why the town of Gipard was able to hold its ground even though it is near the High Elven race territory.

"The High Elves and the Zith'ra army are coming… send the message to the town…" a young woman garbed in an assassin's clothes instructed the man beside her.

The man nodded and left in a blink of an eye.

She did not leave her spot and continue watching the army's procession. She wanted to know the exact number of the enemy so that she could prepare to report the exact detail to her superiors.

This kind of event is happening all over the borders of the Osmond clan. However, the demi-human clan and the peasant clan did not lower their guards too as within their borders lays the Zith'ra race. Hence they are also gearing for war.

As the young woman lay prone atop a large tree branch, she suddenly feels that something is wrong and immediately jumps to another branch.

As soon as she did so, the branch where she was before was suddenly blasted to pieces.

Then clinging in the thick tree is a bluish being with the head of a lizard.

"Slurp… it seems that this one is very slippery… Keke… This would be fun. I Leth would really enjoy this…" the Zith'ra named Leth said while focusing his two lizard eyes on the woman.

"I have never tasted a human woman before… maybe I can have your flesh and your soul… Keke…" the Leth said with a chuckle.

Then without warning, his tongue suddenly flew out like a bullet and grazed the young woman's arm. She tried to dodge the attack but it was too fast.

"Slurp… Really… good!… I never expected that the human immortal golden blood tastes this way… it's different… it's more… delicious…" Leth said with an ugly grin.

The young woman did not hesitate and immediately escaped the area while throwing a silver object in the air. As the silver object exploded the entire area was flooded with thick smoke that contains silver sparkling dust.

This silver dust prevents any domain user and those with sharp sense to detect her location.

Leth was taken by surprise and was immediately angered. With a swing of his fist, the tree trunk beside him was immediately pulverized.

"Do you think you can escape with that trick?" Leth growled in anger.

"Leth, we have to move! Let that person go!" commanded someone from the ground.

But Leth showed an angry expression and then growled.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-geared-immortal_13180047806027405/the-border-land-skirmish_50711996160597778 for visiting.

"Shut up! I accepted to go to this war because I wanted to hunt. So you keep out of my business…" the angry roar from a simple lord actually made everyone in the vast army of twenty thousand feel a shiver running down their spine.

Even the high lords amongst the army feel a bit uncomfortable. But no one said anything. They knew that this Zith'ra is not just any normal lord. He is an assassin that could even kill a high lord. Hence they did not dare anger such a person.

The Zith'ra in command of the army just shook his head and commanded the army to continue marching.

Meanwhile, Leth chases after the escaping woman as they go deeper into the forest.

The woman's name is Alea Zin. She is a member of the Zin clan who is under the Osmond clan. Alea Zin is one of the best-trained scouts of the Osmond clan for hundreds of years. She prided herself on her strength as a gold armored protector and her speed.

However, it seems that she would be facing someone far stronger and faster than her today.

While the two chases after each other in the forest, a circular magic array formation suddenly glowed from the ground.

And from that magic array, mud began to rise, and then the mud slowly transformed into a shape of a person. Boots, pants, robe, clothes, hands, head, and then face, the mud was slowly sculpted into a human being.

Then suddenly, it stopped. The sculpture suddenly cracked and then a figure appears under the crumbling hardened mud.

The figure was Shin Jiao.

As a part of his experiment on what he learned from the books that were given to him by his 'master', Shin Jiao was interested in the alchemical array which acts as personal teleportation magic. To test its full capability he wanted to test its maximum distance and that's why he appears within the borders of the Osmond clan.

As soon as he opens his eyes, he immediately saw the forest. But then he sensed something is amiss. Then his vision caught the sight of two figures, one is a human woman and the other is clearly not.

It was his first time seeing such a being. But from the knowledge he has learned about the immortal land, he immediately deduced that the figure he is seeing is actually a member of the Zith'ra race.

"Why is a Zith'ra race chasing after a human?" he thought as he suddenly leaps above a tree.

He didn't want to intervene, but his curiosity got a hold of himself and wanted to know more. Plus it is not every day that one can see a member of the Zith'ra race. According to what he has learned and deduced, the Zith'ra race might have also visited the earth before. He is not sure if it is true though.

As he followed the two he soon discovers that the human female is beginning to become weaker. And her speed decreases by much.

However, the lizard face blue giant seems to be playing with her as he just gives her tiny wounds all over her body. Plus, from the way those wounds are inflicted, he could guess that this blue giant has some wicked intention.

He suddenly remembers that the Zith'ra race is actually hermaphrodites, a race that has both male and female organs. They can reproduce on their own at will, hence the reason why they deemed themselves as the true gods of the universe.

Then Shin Jiao saw the woman falling to the ground, her black clothes are already in tatters. Then the blue giant strode towards her with excitement in his eyes.

As he took a few steps forward, he suddenly froze and then turns his attention towards the direction of Shin Jiao who is leaning calmly beside a tree.

Seeing the man standing calmly and barely has a power level of 74, Leth sneered and grinned evilly. Perverted as he is, he also found the handsome young man a bit attractive. Hence he wanted to catch him and also play with him after he gets his fill with the woman.

As he took a step forward, he suddenly feels a slight stinging pain in his foot. Then with a wide eye, he glared at the weak woman on the ground. Then he looks at the sticking metallic syringe on his leg.
