The Geared Immortal

Chapter 707 - The Town Of Gipard

Chapter 707

(Unedited)

…

Around two thousand soldiers are currently embroiled in a fight as the combined army of the High Elves and the Zith'ra race tried to break through the current defenses of the humans. The northeastern side of the wall is a bit harder to assault due to its topography.

The rocky area, the uneven ground, and the lack of trees make it hard for the High Elves and the Zith'ra race to gain an advantage in this location.

Their figures are exposed once they came closer to the walls. And before they could even reach it, they would already have died.

Right now, many lifeless bodies are strewn on the ground both humans and the other races. Their golden blood created a glimmering pool which the shrubs and the grasses on the ground greedily absorb.

"Why is it that, the bodies are not yet disappearing?" Shin Jiao asked with a confused look in his eyes.

"Well, that's because they are not dead yet. If they have already died, then their bodies would disappear after a while…" Alea Zin answered while she also peeks from within the thick tree leaves.

"Hmm… How could we get those High elves leaders and those blue-skinned giants to get out of that place?..." Shin Jiao thought as he tried to create a plan of attack.

Suddenly, Alea who is standing behind him jumps down from the tree branch and then rushed towards a certain direction.

Shin Jiao did not wait for anything to happen and just takes out his handgun. Then he carefully took an aim at the direction of the soldiers which looks like the group commanding the combined army.

While waiting, Shin Jiao began arranging the plans he wanted to do in his mind. He still needed to go back to the cave of Geun Man and take with him his experiments. From the looks of it, there is a war happening and if this war escalates and the humans lose, then it would be troublesome for his friends and family to come to the immortal land.

Hence he decided to intervene and give a hand in the battles.

Shin Jiao was suddenly awoken from his train of thoughts when he heard loud rumbling sounds.

When he shifted his gaze to the direction of the sound, his eyes went wide in shock. This is because he could see several large boulders rolling towards him toppling those strong trees to the ground.

The combined army who is fighting in the front lines did not feel the vibration so they are unaware of the impending doom that's coming their way. However, the commander of the army all noticed this and was about to give out the command.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate to take action right at this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With successive shots from his handgun, Shin Jiao aimed at the commanders. This caught the commanders who are still in a panic before the attack happened.

After emptying a magazine, Shin Jiao immediately reloaded and then moved to another location. While doing so, he has already spread his psychokinesis and checked the bodies of the commanders.

A satisfied smile appears on his face as he reached the campsite of the commanders. He then watches from their slight vantage point as the large boulders rolled over the combined armies of the High Elves and Zith'ra.

He could see soldiers being flattened and crushed by those large boulders.

Some tried to attack the boulders but to no avail as they seem to be indestructible.

Shin Jiao is now curious as to what kind of boulders are those?

"Hey, let's go!" Alea said as soon as she appears near Shin Jiao.

"Those are part of the town's defenses, right?" Shin Jiao asked while following her.

"Yeah, but the scouts are not in their defensive position. I think they all ran inside the town due to fear…" she said with a smile.

Alea, wipe her hand in the air and runes began floating in the air. Then she traces three of them and the scene in front of them suddenly changes. Shin Jiao can now see a small door, just enough to fit a single person.

After opening the door, Alea walked in and Shin Jiao followed behind her.

As soon as they got inside, the door suddenly vanished. Then Shin Jiao saw a number of human soldiers looking at the two of them with caution.

"Alea… I thought you were capture?" asked one of the soldiers who seems to be close to Alea.

"Why would you think so? I was out there scouting the enemy…"

"Yeah, we know but someone saw you being attacked by a blue-skinned giant…"

"Ahhh… Yes, but I was saved by him…" Alea said while pointing at Shin Jiao who is following behind her.

The soldier looks at Shin Jiao and doubt could immediately be seen on his handsome face. This is because Shin Jiao is merely a silver armored protector. His physique is only at that level, and he does not exude any aura. This made the soldier think that Shin Jiao is only someone with a true nascent body and could not control the Dao laws. So how could a mere physique cultivator fight against someone who is already a lord?

While the guard is thinking, Alea Zin and Shin Jiao continue walking inside the long and dimly lit cavern.

"By the way, how long have you been in the immortal land?" asked Alea suddenly as she slows down her pace and walked beside Shin Jiao.

"Well… let's see… I think around… two years already." Shin Jiao mulled over and showed a faint smile.

Alea suddenly stops walking which made Shin Jiao a bit confused so he also stopped.

"Two… two years… And… that's… that's impossible. How could you… how could you be this strong?" she suddenly said with a quivering tone.

Shin Jiao did not reply as he was thinking why the woman is a bit stunned. But then when he remembers the time the immortals in the human land takes before reaching such high in their cultivation it would take them hundreds of years.

Shin Jiao knew that this is the norm in the immortal land. However, his greatest advantage over the others is his ability to create pills, and also some skills that he has learned which could greatly increase his absorption of the universe's energy.

Shin Jiao also could not get this part. It seems that anything he could learn about would suddenly enter his mind and he could think of ways on how to improve them. It's like his inner instinct or something.

And this thing has already baffled him since birth. While on earth, he could learn anything he puts his mind to, and even when he was cracking the black stone that fell from the sky, he felt really weird upon realizing that he could easily grasp the runes.

"Hey… are you okay?" Sensing that Shin Jiao seems to be dozing off, Alea suddenly interrupted him.

"Anyway, let's enter the town… I need to report to my superiors first." She said as the two continue walking.

Not long later, they soon reached the end of the cavern where a group of soldiers are stationed and the two went through a thorough inspection. This is true especially to Shin Jiao who is new in the eyes of the soldiers.

The door at the end of the cavern opens and bright light assaulted Shin Jiao's eyes that he could not help but squints.

When his vision cleared he saw an old European-like town with streets inlaid with gray bricks. Then he could see many people going to and fro as if nothing is happening outside. The people inside the town are just like those from the Vitol town, they wear different garments and many of them are donned in silver or gold armors.

"Well, welcome to the town of Gipard… I think we humans acknowledge this town as one of the biggest towns in the human territory." Alea said while looking at the scene in front of them.

"Come with me, you need to register your name first. It's one of the rules in this town." She said as she grabs Shin Jiao's arm and then drags him towards a particular building.

As two people appear inside the building, someone suddenly approached them.

"This… Alea… I… I thought we have lost you… I thought you were captured." A young man said with a seemingly trembling voice.

Besides, that young man is a young woman. Upon seeing Alea a frown suddenly appears on her face and a hint of annoyance could be seen.

Shin Jiao who saw this did not react and just watch as the young man walked closer to Alea and then hugs her tightly.

Alea did not fight back and just let the man hug her. Shin Jiao could feel the concern and longing in the man's expression as he seems to take a whiff of Alea's scent.

Then the young woman who followed the young man suddenly frowns and then grabs the man's arms. Then she suddenly yanks him away from Alea.

"Alea Zin… what is the meaning of this? Linhua is my man… You are causing too much trouble for me." The young woman suddenly said as she separates the two.

The young man showed a guilty expression upon realizing that he lost control of his emotion. Alea on the other hand also blushed as she too realized that she also lost her composure at that time.

But before any one of them could say anything, a young man on the side suddenly said.

"Che… You are trying to monopolize Linhua by yourself. Can't you see that Alea also likes your boyfriend…"

The sneering tone with a sarcastic hint from the young man made the young woman beside the young man named Linhua feel flustered.

In the Osmond clan, the men are permitted to marry more than one wife. The reason for this is the growth of the population in the clan. It's now easy for humans to enter the immortal land, plus humans are inherently weaker than the other races.

Only with their number and superior intellect can the humans defend themselves against the other superior races.

Shin Jiao lost interest in the drama that's going on in front of him and directly walked towards a counter. While Alea and the others around her bickers, Shin Jiao has already registered his name and walked back behind Alea.

Before he could arrive, he suddenly saw a young man drawing his weapon and suddenly attacking the young man named Linhua.

But before Shin Jiao knew it, Alea suddenly disappears and then appear in front of that young man.
