The Geared Immortal

Chapter 831 - Bandit’s Raid (2)

Chapter 831

(Unedited)

…

The village is enveloped in fear as a large number of people suddenly appear from within the forest near the flying ship and the warehouse.

The Bandits of the West came with much swagger as their pressure alone made everyone in the village dare not come out. As they appear, several fireballs were sent flying towards the warehouse burning it down to cinders.

Meanwhile, a fireball has flown towards the flying ship and creating a loud booming sound as it hits parts of its barrier. The trajectory and explosion strength are actually controlled and not aim to destroy the ship.

Instead, it is aimed to create fear towards the people within it.

As the explosion echoed through the air the villagers who are watching this began to fear for their own lives. Some even turned their sight on the closed Mystique Shop and wanted to loot it for profit and also to turn over those who are handling the shop.

But before they could act, they already saw a number of soldiers around the shop. Some of them are breaking the locked door and their eyes have that greedy look on them.

"Break open the door and take everything in there. We should take this to the general as evidence," shouted a soldier as if it is the right thing to do.

Everyone just watches in dismay as they already expected that these soldiers would do as such. But what baffled them is that the village head seems to be missing. They knew that if she is here right now, these soldiers would not have the courage to loot this shop.

The village head is not only the most respected person in the village, she is also one of the most powerful High Mages in the village and could hold her own against any power or even fight against a first-level Archmage.

However, her gentle and docile attitude made her look weak, and many looks down on her. And only because of her older brother General Xentong Han that people respected her as the village head. And the great general knew this that's why he expected his sister to just follow behind him always.

But right now Xentong Han is really angry because his sister actually stayed in that ship because of the man. His heart is already filled with rage and something else.

The reason why he told his soldiers to ransack the shop was that he could not contain this strange feeling in his heart.

Xentong Han and Yein Han are siblings and have been close ever since they were young. When Yein Han got married and was sent far away, Xentong Han was enraged for the first time and decided to go to his sister. Who would have known that he would see his brother-in-law with another woman? And this scene made him really mad.

Out of his anger, he killed his brother-in-law and left Central Town, where they lived before. Years later, he returns as one of the greatest generals of Main Arjing City.

Xentong Han has gotten many women in his life but he could not deny that he is attracted to his own sister. It was not just a simple attraction but an obsession. No matter how he compares other women to her, they could not hold a candle to her abilities and even her beauty.

Though Yein Han is already in her late 30's she maintains the appearance of a woman in her 20's. She became a High Mage and has now reached the late stages through her own talent and effort. She has a great ability to manage the border village despite the challenges she faces.

Her only weakness is her compassion, which something that a great ruler of the chaotic border village should have less.

And so because of this, the village is now ruled by Xentong Han with a strict command to attack the merchant ship if they get a chance.

Though he did not want to ally himself with the bandits, he also did not want to help those fools who goaded him by taking his younger sister from him.

…

And so the Bandits of the West began attacking and rain of fireball came falling down.

"Hahaha… We are the Bandits of the West! We want you people to surrender. If not, then we will kill you all!" the Bandit Chief said with a loud booming voice.

Even those people from the village heard his booming voice from far away. And it sends shivers down their spine. They knew how ruthless these people are and have experienced being attacked by them before. Though the bandits did not successfully breach the village, the villagers still suffered a lot at that time.

While the shout of the Bandit Chief echoed through the air, who would have known that when the dust cloud dies down they would see a few figures sitting on the ship's deck as if nothing had happened?

Shin Jiao, Yein Han, and the rest are just looking at the bandit group while casually sipping some tea.

When the bandits attacked the ship, Yein Han was in a panic at first, but upon discovering that the attacks were futile, she heaves a sigh of relief and decided to take Shin Jiao's offer for a cup of tea.

"Master Shin, this tea is a bit exquisite… It actually gives me the feeling of being refreshed and my fatigue and tiredness are gone… And the mana in my body… it seems to flow smoothly. What kind of tea is this?" Yein Han said while she took a sip of the tea.

Shin Jiao just gave her a casual smile; meanwhile, Hua Xiao on the side put down the cup and said.

"Village head, this is actually brewed using the most meticulous method that Master Shin taught us. And the leaves are something that we found deep in the forest in our travels."

"I'm aware of the Beast Monkey leaves, but what about these small crystal-like things?"

"Ah… Those are refined mana crystal droplets. That guy over there accidentally discovered it." Hua Xiao explained while pointing at Ansen Wine who just sits on the side without minding everyone's business.

The red hair young man did not bother to reply as he just nonchalantly enjoyed his tea. This is the result of his work out of boredom, since it is this great he feels proud of himself.

While they are casually chatting the Bandits of the West are already enrage.

"Everyone! Attack!" the Bandit Chief shouted.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he frowns.

"These people are causing trouble, take care of them?" Shin Jiao said.

"We'll go…" Xiamen Gong and Axle Long stood up.

"Wait a minute! I want to go too…" Hua Xiao said as she picks up the shoulder holster on the table and put it on.

She carefully admires herself while twirling around which made her look like an eastern cultivator warrior. But instead of a sword, she has a gun.

"What do you think?" she said while looking at Vilma Song.

"You look weird… Just go!... And be careful." Vilma Song said while waving her hand.

The three of them stood at the edge of the deck and over the railings. Beside them is around 30 mages holding mage staff that is shaped like a rifle.

These kinds of staff are designed for the accuracy and speed of the spell projectile being cast. They are like Sniper Rifle Staff.

"Attack!!!" Xiamen Gong shouted.

With his command, the 30 mages lined up on the ship's deck immediately light up their Sniper Rifle Staff and fired.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

The sound of a compressed fireball being sent flying from the staff broke through the sound barrier and flew towards the bandits in an unprecedented manner. Their target are the mages amongst the bandit warriors.

Who would have expected that a simple fireball spell could be fired this way?

The bandits did not have time to dodge as several large explosions rocked the forest.

Ka-Boom! Ka-Boom! Ka-Boom!

In just one attack hundreds of bandits fell to the ground, some are heavily wounded while others died without a complete corpse.

It was a total disaster which immediately sent panic in the heart of the attacking bandits.

Xiamen Gong and Axle Long did not hesitate as the two suddenly jumps down the ship's deck. They could not use spell and is a pretty bad shot. However, the martial arts they could display are top-notch with the help of the exoskeleton attacked to their bodies inside their robes.

And so the two men confronting the less than 1,000 bandits' looks like meat grinders as they easily cut through the bandits coming towards them.

If they would be in danger, Hau Xiao would not hesitate to assist them by taking out particular targets.

It did not take long before the two men suddenly came face to face with the Bandit Chief and the two women beside him.

"It seems that I underestimated you, people… But we will come back stronger than ever!" the Bandit Chief shouted while glaring at Xiamen Gong and Axle Long.

He then turns around and left.

The two men wanted to chase after him, but they were blocked by the two women that took off their cloaks.

When Xiamen Gong and Axle Long saw the women's figures they showed disbelief in their eyes.
