Chapter 1197

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja has returned to the Misty village and spent his time in that place for another week. He would communicate often with his father, Yao Xue, and his pet Xuanlong who has become a bit playful. He has noticed one time when his father was not looking, Xuanlong stealthily approached the video recorder and actually swallowed it whole.

He could hear the panicking voice of Yao Xue as she tried to get the video recorder from the body of Xuanlong which suddenly become the shape of the recorder.

"Xuanlong… you naughty little girl… Do not eat this, okay?" Yao Xue said reprimanding the little guy.

All of this was recorded in the video which made Xin Ja feel warm in his heart.

On the seven days of his stay in the village, he suddenly received a video recording of where his master, Master Wang is in.

The old man showed his usual amiable smile and said some good news that made Xin Ja feel elated.

It seems that someone has already warned Zhang Baguan, that he can now return to his military unit without worry.

"Sigh… I wanted to make a move, but with my strength and power, the kingdom is going to intervene for sure… But this is the only thing I can do for you for now. I am really proud of what you have accomplished my student… As your master, I am very proud of you… Hahaha…" Master Wang said while chuckling.

Upon hearing that piece of news, Xin Ja could not help but be happy. How could he not feel happy? He is now free… no one is going to hunt him down anymore. He could now roam freely on the battlefield unhindered.

"I guess, the time for hiding is already gone…" he muttered as he showed happiness in his heart.

He truly has a good master. His master has done far too many things for him. He was there when he and his father was down on their luck. He was there to support him when his father is away in the war. His master was there to help them when they are in danger.

In short, he truly owes his master a lot.

With that thought, Xin Ja suddenly had an idea.

Without hesitation, he quickly jumps out of his seat and ran towards the workshop.

Xin Ja began working on a new project with a wide smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Yi Terai would always visit him and bring him some food and anything that he needed.

"Sigh… When will he ever stop being too busy…" she thought while watching the busy young man before her.

Suddenly a light blush appears on her face after catching herself fantasizing over the young man before her. She could not help think about what they would do after this war is over. She also wanted to go to his home and know his… parents.

This is the reason why she suddenly blushed.

However, she caught herself and just shook her head.

Suddenly someone enters the workshop and called Yi Terai, after she left, Xin Ja just shifted his gaze at her location and heaves a deep sigh.

He is not blind… he had long known that Yi Terai likes him. However, he is not someone with a fickle mind. He has already someone in his heart and whenever he would think about her, he could not help but worry.

"Chenchen…" he muttered.

But then… he shakes his head as he has no time to get distracted. He has to finish this project of his so that he could proudly present it to his master.

Xin Ja stayed in the workshop for 3 days before coming out with a smile of contentment on his face. He has finally finished his project, though it took him a while, he is sure that his master would be able to appreciate what he has created for him as his gift.

…

Meanwhile, in the Central Fortress of the border wall, people are working really hard inside a well-protected complex. There are many men lifting heavy materials from carriages transporting them to the large warehouse.

This is a place in the Central Fortress where the current manufacturing of the military Mecha prototype is being created.

With the blueprint present in their hands and a large number of runemasters and smithing masters, the factory complex of the military Mecha is in full swing in their research.

Inside one of the buildings, a group of military officers is currently together while looking outside a window.

Just outside that window is a 4 meters tall Mecha prototype which the military researchers have finally finished creating following Xin Ja's basic blueprint.

"So this is the weapon that made the enemy cower…" one of the officers whispered while looking in amazement at the large Mecha.

"Well, this is our current prototype. But… do you see that one over there?" the officer talking to him said while pointing at the other end of the field.

"That is the original which came from Misty village…" he said after the eyes of the people shifted to where he is pointing.

"Ah… So that is the real thing. It looks imposing…" another one said while nodding his head.

"The frame itself could not provide too much protection as it only could move and carry things at most at the level of a 5th Ki fighter. But, the defensive barrier of these Mecha is something else. They can withstand even a 10th level fighter attack." A man who looks like one of the researchers working in the factory complex explained.

He then continues by pointing at the nearest one.

"The prototype we are working on now is a bit streamlined. This is because we air for a more agile and faster Mecha that cost lower and yet is easily operable by those at the 5th level and below… Everyone watch this…"

He then shouted outside.

"Prepare the test!"

After his words, the unadorned Mecha slowly moved. Its arms and body seem to be stretching as the pilot seem to be familiarizing himself with the Mecha.

The Mecha suddenly showed a thumbs-up signal.

The officers were all astounded upon seeing this.

"How… how is this done?" an officer who seems to be proficient in runes asked.

"That is a good question… Well, the blueprint is already there… but according to our study and observation… There is a micro rune machine that captures all of the pilot's hand movement and would project it in the hand of the Mecha…" the man explained and continues until he was able to satisfy the curiosity of the people around him.

With a nod of that man's head, the prototype Mecha suddenly made it move.

Everyone was suddenly shocked to see the movement of the Mecha.

It is actually twice as fast as the one from afar.

Soon the two reached each other's range and the hand-to-hand combat began.

Bam! Clang! Boom!

The sound of metal clashing against metal and debris being crushed echoed in the air. However, the eyes of the officers are already glowing as they watch the battle.

Crash!!!

However, the unadorned prototype that looks really metallic fell to the ground with one of its arm broken.

"Well, I guess, the original is still superior when it comes to power." The researcher said.

"No… I think that speed is important. That thing can move really fast… If I am not mistaken, it actually delivered more than five strikes to its opponent compared to one from the original… Haha… this is a great improvement! Good! Good!" the man who seemed like a high-ranking officer applauded.

This same thing is happening inside the military factory complex as they tested out one prototype after another.

After the test, the military officers walk out of the factory with smiles on their faces.

"I truly wanted to meet that one who created those things… I want to go to Misty village!" a high-ranking officer said with excitement.

"General, sir… That place is off-limits…" his adjutant suddenly reminded the general.

The general frowned but did not say anything anymore.

"Haha… Let's just wait after this war is over… I think that place would produce far more advanced Mechas in the future. I think the kingdom of Jimal just wanted to bid their time and not let the empire discover that place…" another general said.

The rest nodded their heads. But right now, what they have seen is already enough for them to consider that this war is already over.

The military with their resources and manpower was able to create 50 original models, and 20 of their own prototypes models. With that number, it's like sending 70 officers to the front lines and fighting against normal soldiers.

Plus what made them excited are the compressed air weapons and the range. It is truly a devastating weapon that will truly change the far of warfare in the future.

…

While this is happening, Xin Ja has already once again left the Misty village and is on his way to the 708 IB command post in Tiig Town.
