Chapter 1220
(Unedited)
…
Xin Ja is currently sweating beads of sweat as he stood in the room where the crown prince is currently is. If he feels nervous while in front of the 4th prince, how much more when he is currently in front of the crown prince?
The crown prince is going to be the next king of the kingdom. So how could he not feel a bit scared?
Seeing the tense expression of the young man before them, the officer could not help but show a faint smile on their faces.
So far, they have been used to this timid attitude of Xin Ja.
Although they have already met each other many times before, he still would feel distressed in front of them. They have already told him that he should relax, but it did not work. So they just let him be.
However, the crown prince is looking at Xin Ja with a strange expression.
He did not expect that the young soldier who can be considered as the living legend amongst the army would be truly very young, and a bit timid.
"Junior Officer Xin… On behalf of the kingdom, the king wanted to convey his thanks for your contribution to this war. We can consider that because of what you have done, the war has finally stopped… Thank you…" he said in a cordial manner.
"Yes, sir! It is my duty… sir… I mean… Crown prince, sir!" Xin Ja replied trying to act like a soldier but still could not help but have a shaky voice.
Pfft…
"Is he always this shaky?" the Crown prince chuckled then turns to his brother.
"We're used to it…" the 4th prince replied with a smile and a shrug.
Actually, Xin Ja could not control such a feeling when he is facing someone who is with an authority. But if he is threatened, then even if it is the king, of course, he would not cower. He might hide, but he will continue fighting.
And so, the meeting began while Xin Ja listened as his heart began to calm down.
After the meeting, someone patted his shoulder.
It was General Fang who is showing a big smile on his face.
"Hey…" he said while looking at the people behind Xin Ja.
"Can you… Can you customize a Mecha for me? I want to weapon you've tested back in Tork town… I've read the reports, and I was really interested with such a weapon…" General Fang said.
Xin Ja was a bit stunned as this is the first time a general made such a friendly request on him. And so far, he is also the first one to request a sniper weapon. Although the information about the weapon is already given to the military, no one wanted to use such a weapon.
Some told him that it would not be as good as the compressed air weapons which would spew several bullets rapidly.
Plus the production of the sniper rifle and its bullets cost a bit, so some think that it is impractical.
So upon hearing that the general is interested in the sniper rifle Xin Ja could not help but show interest.
"Umm… Yes, yes, General… But…" Xin Ja was a bit hesitant.
"Don't worry… I already read the data… I think this type of Mecha is for me…" General Fang said with a smile.
With that, Xin Ja walks back to his quarter and decided to draft another model of a Mecha which is primarily used for sniping and ranger-type missions.
…
Meanwhile, at this time…
Inside the main hangar test site of the 5th fortress
Crown prince Han Jiban is currently gawking at a dark blue Mecha with intricate design and smooth chromed armor. One could tell that there is envy in his eyes while looking at the Mecha in front of him.
He then saw his younger brother getting inside the Mecha's cockpit.
When the Mecha has fully powered up, it slowly stands up like a warrior on the battlefield.
The Mecha created by Xin Jiao for the 4th prince is not using the standard four-camera head… instead, it is using a single large camera in the middle of an armored clad head and a small camera at the back.
Since the Mecha is a scout type and a command mobile center, it carries a huge backpack.
"So what do you think brother?" 4th prince Han Bai called with a happy smile.
"This is amazing… I did not expect that a Mecha that should be used for wars would look so stylish…" Crown prince Han Jiban said in admiration.
"General Tee, can I test out the Mecha in this base? I have tested out the prototype Mechas in the Central fortress, but I am not satisfied… I hope that in here, you guys could deliver satisfaction as the rumor has said…" the crown prince said with a smile.
"Yes, your highness! Come this way please…" General Tee Gui said as he lead the prince towards a dressing room.
The crown prince puts on a pilot suit and quickly got inside a standard Mecha.
They registered the crown prince's biometric before he was able to turn on the Mecha.
"Hahaha… This… This is what I am talking about…" he suddenly exclaimed from inside the cockpit.
"Little brother… Why don't we test out how far have you learned with your combat studies…" the crown prince said with a challenging tone.
Han Bai was a bit surprised as his always serious brother would joke around and fight with him with a Mecha.
He could not remember when the time the two of them played together was.
All he could remember was that his older brother stop playing with him when he has given the title of the crown prince.
At first, he was angry with his brother for neglecting him. But as he grows up, he knew that his brother has been secretly protecting him from the shadows against the attacks of their own siblings.
Now that he has grown up, he swore that he would make sure that his older brother would be able to take the crown in the end.
The two walked towards the test arena as thick rock walls slowly rises to enclose them in a circular cage.
At this time, there are many pilots and personnel that are currently inside the main hangar who decided to watch the battle between the two princes.
They have heard that the crown prince is a combat master while the 4th prince is a runemaster. They are all wondering how well really the crown prince in fighting is.
The crown prince grabs a training sword on the side, while the 4th prince grabs a shield and a training short sword.
The two began to circle one another and the cheers in their surroundings could be heard in the air.
"Here I come, little brother!" Han Jiban called out as he dashes towards Han Bai's Mecha.
…
While the two are battling inside the main hangar, Xin Ja has already begun drawing his draft for General Fang's Mecha. It did not take long before he is able to finish the design and then walked out of his room.
He directly went to the smithing master's office and talked to the head.
Xin Ja did not go out in there until it was already at dawn the next day.
Although he was tired mentally he is still contented with what he has accomplished.
He stayed in that place to complete the design of the new accessory for the OMM 01 models. But of course, this design is to be used by him first using the exoskeleton he is wearing in his body.
Xin Ja has been used in wearing the exoskeleton every day inside his clothing. This is because of his paranoia for being very weak before, and his depressing experience while growing up.
Although his reliance on his gears might be bad, he did not care. In this war-torn place, his safety is his priority and his pride second.
And so… he has finished manufacturing the new gears and is ready to test it out.
As Xin Ja walks out of the fortress, he directly went to a forest area just outside the borders of the 5th fortress and the 5th fortress town.
Soon he arrives in the forest and began setting up the new gears. Right at this moment, he is wearing a strange backpack on his back, two controllers along with the stabilizers on his arms.
As he looks at himself, Xin Ja feels a bit weird but then, he still has to test this thing out, so he quickly started the rune on his chest.
The jet engine on his backpack started along with the stabilizers.
"This is a bit exciting…" Xin Ja muttered as he looks at the sky.
All of a sudden, he feels a strange sensation in his heart… it was as if a warning bell in his mind. When he felt such a thing, he knew that something is wrong. So he quickly spread his senses around him.. However, as soon as he did, his face turned pale.
