1407 War Of The Gods And Demons: Chapter 7

Chapter 1407

…

After the cleanup, the soldiers return to the village as a single unit. Their number has dwindled and they are only numbering less than a hundred.

Before leaving the village, many are spirited and wanted to fight alongside the powerful awakened. But who would have thought that they would be left to fend for themselves?

If not for the array that Xin Ja has made, all of them would have already ended up dead.

"Hey, where did you learn that skill?" Dozer who seems quiet suddenly asked.

Xin Ja could feel that this fellow wanted to ask him this question for a while now, but is hesitating for some reason. But it seems that he could not reign in his curiosity and has already made his move to ask.

Some of those that are walking with the two seem to have propped up their ears to listen to the conversation.

Sensing their interest, Xin Ja could not help but chuckle deep in his heart.

Well, it would not hurt to teach them a thing or two. This world is going to enter a great battle anyway, so it would not be that bad if some of them could know how to protect themselves.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

For one force to grow, they should learn how to share some important knowledge. Of course, not all knowledge should be shared, but there are still those that can be shared just to kick off the start of progress.

And for these people to be able to fight back against the demons, he could share with them this defensive array.

Though it is easy for Xin Ja to construct, he knew that it would be hard for others to do it. Plus, it would expose the weakness of the array. But that is not his concern… they should figure that thing out for themselves on their way through learning.

"Hmm… I could actually teach you guys that skill… But, I have a little problem." Xin Ja said with a smile.

Everyone suddenly turn their sight on him and quickly drew closer.

"Show me your sincerity…" Xin Ja said with a grin.

When the people heard his words, they all wanted to scoff at him.

One female soldier that survived even glared at Xin Ja.

Seeing their reaction, he just shakes his head.

"You wanted a powerful skill for free? Do you really think I'm an idiot or something?" Xin Ja sneered as he continue walking.

Upon hearing his words, the soldiers around him seem to have felt a bit guilty. To gain something, they have to pay the right price.

They have seen how strong that defensive array was, so how could they not pay for it when it should possess a greater value to them?

"I know that the army will be willing to pay you if you teach us." An officer which is a C-Rank awakened said.

"Sigh, then we will wait for them to offer something…" Xin Ja with a smile.

The group then walked back to the village and soon arrives near its border.

But then everyone froze as they saw that another large number of demonized beasts are surrounding the village.

But no matter how hard those things attack, they would be shot dead by the soldiers standing atop the walls.

As the attack stopped the soldiers also came out from their hiding place and continue marching towards the village.

They were received by the army and were briefed before they were all disbanded back to their groups and ranks.

Xin Ja at this time walked towards his own accommodation.

He lies down on the bed and suddenly heaved a heavy sigh.

"Should I go to the city from here…" he thought as he did not know what to do next.

He has his mission, but he feels a bit conflicted and unsure of what to do next.

He carefully analyzes the jade slab recorded by him and then slowly tries to understand the commands and runes on them.

He did not know how long he has been lying on the bed, but his attention was interrupted when he heard some rapid knocking on his door.

As he opened the door, he saw three soldiers.

One is a petite-looking female soldier, with a cute face, with her hair in a bun. She looks attractive in the military combat uniform. Beside her stood two handsome-looking young men wearing serious and disciplined looks on their faces.

"Mister Adam… I am Corporal Tania Lore, and these are my colleagues. We are here to escort you… The higher-ups wanted to see you, sir." She politely said with a smile.

Xin Ja showed a delighted expression. Well, how could he not feel delighted when a beautiful woman is actually here to escort him?

But the question in his mind this time is why is he being summoned. Do they want to learn how to make the protective array?

If so, then how much are they willing to pay?

Many people would say that money is not important, but in Xin Ja's travel, he would tell them that he begs the difference.

Those people, who said that, are either without experience of having money or did not know how to use money.

If he could have more money, then he could buy more resources, that way his preparation would be completed.

If he could even have a chance to make an armada of armored suits, then he might have a chance of defeating those invading demons and Shadow Beings.

But of course, that is if he could find some trustworthy people to give such a technology.

As he followed the three, he began thinking of a way to form his own army. But no matter how hard he thinks about it, he would not be able to make one.

Then his eyes landed on the three soldiers in front of him.

He too was a soldier and knew that many of these guys are trained to obey the command of their officers.

With such discipline, he might have a chance to form his own company or even battalion of armored, soldiers, right?

While thinking to this point, Xin Ja suddenly has a goal in his mind.

And his first task is to infiltrate the military and become one of them. Then he would work his way up the military ladder and then become a high-ranking officer. That way, he could form his own army.

Or that was what he thought.

But of course, everything would happen on the premise that these soldiers would be of use to him.

Soon, he arrives in a room filled with military officers.

The three looks at the military officer in the middle and saluted. They seem to be unable to see the rest of the officers sitting behind that military officer who is calmly sitting at his desk while having his head on the papers.

After the three left, the officer lifted his head to look at Xin Ja.

"Do you know why I called you?" he asked.

But Xin Ja did not answer. Instead, he walked to the wall and then leaned on it like a hooligan. He even folded his arms and then looks at the military officer in disdain.

"Cheap tricks…" he muttered.

After his words came out, the military officer suddenly froze on the spot, and then his figure slowly faded in the air.

Then someone from the group stands up and began clapping.

When this happens, Xin Ja heaved a deep sigh and then walked towards the middle where that military officer was previously sitting.

Now there is nothing in there but just an open space while facing the group of high-ranking soldiers at the back.

"I knew that you have already figured it out from the start…" a middle-aged officer said with a knowing smile on his face.

"Yeah, he is a genius, but he is too arrogant… He is a profligate son of the Summers. He even fought against his own family and then escaped." Someone from the group suddenly interrupted.

"Haha… I don't care about that. What I care about is the number of soldiers he was able to save in that battle… He even saves those B-Ranks and A-Rank awakened officer Vale…" the middle-aged man scolded back.

Everyone in the room turned silent.

Xin Ja seems to have an inkling of what is happening, so he showed a faint smile on his face while looking at the military officers in front of him.

He knows that it is his chance to talk, so he raised his hand up.

The middle-aged man signaled for him to talk as everyone turned their attention toward him.

"Sir!" Xin Ja saluted first.

"I am aware of what is happening in this place… I am willing to be a soldier and I also am willing to teach the soldier about the skills that I know… But…" suddenly he stopped.

An officer suddenly scoffed and then glared at Xin Ja.

"What kind of soldier is asking his officers to pay him? If you really are a soldier then share your ability with the rest, that way we can resist the demons as one…" that officer that looks like he is in his 30s said in a sarcastic tone.

His words did not infuriate Xin Ja but instead made him show a faint smile on his face.

"You wanted my things? Well, you can have it… but it is not for free… Hehehe…" he thought with a chuckle.
