The Geared Immortal

Chapter 876 - A Hopeless Battle

Chapter 876

(Unedited)

…

With the appearance of the Scavengers comes the fear which has now grown inside the dwarven people's heart. The citizen knew that with the condition they are in right now, they would not be able to fight or even escape the clutches of the Scavengers.

But what baffled everyone is the question, of how they fell in the hands of their enemies. How were the Scavengers able to enter the secret passages without anyone guiding them?

It is known that those who would intrude the passages would fall into the traps set by the dwarves. Plus it would cause the kingdom to be notified in advance. However, the Scavengers have already broken through the city gate and it seems that they have not suffered any loss at all.

"You dare to intrude our lands!" shouted Dwarven King Aboros Stonebreaker.

"Hihi… Why if it isn't Aboros my old pal…" a tall and bulky red-skinned Orc wearing animal skin said.

This is one of the generals of Chief Agoy Tusks the head chief of Scavengers, Grumack Guur. He is the one leading the group and is currently a 40th level warrior. As a general of the Scavengers, Grumack has the strength and the power to be proudly standing in front of the Dwarven king. As a 40th level warrior, he is at the same level as the Dwarven King.

"Grumack! Since you have entered my Dwarven Kingdom, then don't expect to leave in one piece!" shouted Aboros as he suddenly takes out his large battle-ax.

As he circulates his fighting energy, the battle-ax began to glow.

Upon seeing this, Grumack and the rest of the Scavengers showed a hint of a sneer in their expression.

"General, why don't you give me the honor to take down this… king… Hehe…" a green-skinned troll said as he steps forward.

"Haha… Alright, go!" Grumack said as he patted the shoulder of the troll.

With a sneer on the troll's face, it suddenly jumps in the air and then a giant bat caught its tall figure. Then from its side, the troll takes out a silver mace.

As it circulates its energy, the mace suddenly glows in light green.

But from what one can see, the troll is only a level 30 warrior and is not a match for Aboros. However, for some unknown reason, the troll is confident that it could fight against Aboros.

The dwarven king did not hesitate and suddenly moved in a flash. When the dwarven king appears behind the troll, everyone was dumbfounded.

Then the troll was bisected in half as the troll's and his mount's guts and innards fell to the ground. The area turned silent as the Scavengers looks at the dwarven king in fear.

"What is the meaning of this!" shouted Grumack.

With his words, the Scavengers parted and a small figure wearing a dark hood slowly walks in front. That figure is a small goblin with a sinister smile on its face.

"General, it may take time before the poison would affect as the king is a level 40 warrior, he might be able to suppress the poison on his own." the goblin said with a bow.

Grumack wave his large hand and glares at the goblin.

"You leave now. You should have told us that information from the start…"

"I am not aware of this yet, great general… However, I assure you that the dwarven king is not your match." The goblin said as he retreated.

Now the side of the Scavengers is on guard and showed a serious expression. They are not sure if the rest of the dwarven generals and commanders are also affected or not.

Right at this moment, a large number of dwarven soldiers compose of level 20 and higher commanders arrive. They are covered in wounds and it seems that they just came from a fierce battle.

"My king! We have quelled the rebellion!" shouted the commander.

"Hahaha… Good… Good!" the dwarven king said.

However, he should not have done this because a trace of blood suddenly seeps at the side of his mouth. And this was seen by Grumack who suddenly showed great enthusiasm. He knew that the goblin was correct. It seems that the poison is now in effect.

"Haha… it seems that today is not your lucky day, Aboros…" Grumack shouted as he suddenly floated in the air.

His body is covered in energy and he is able to control the elements around him. It is clear that his control of the wind element is really good.

"Then we shall see…" Aboros said with a serious expression on his face.

Suddenly Aboros shouted in the air.

"Everyone! Attack! Kill them all!" with his shout the rest of the dwarven commanders and generals attacked the Scavengers.

Powerful enchanted weapons began to clash one against another as they created chaos and destruction in their surroundings.

The Scavengers began to fly in the air with their mounts while others are on the ground embroiled in the battle.

While this is happening, four figures suddenly appear at the top of the roof of a building. These people are Shin Jiao, Warkita, Loom, and Hoodwig.

Shin Jiao stood calmly while looking at the great battle in front of them, while Warkita, Loom, and Hoodwig are carrying some of the weapons that Shin Jiao let them borrow.

Three mana energy rifles, three mana energy handgun, and three exoskeleton armors, those are the things that Shin Jiao lend to them. But of course, this has a price. Hoodwig has to pay for these things.

But Hoodwig did not care if he loses some precious stones. What he wanted is the ability to fight against the invaders of their kingdom.

Suddenly one of the Orcs on top of his flying mount noticed the three and decided to attack them with his spear. His target is the tallest of the three, Shin Jiao.

Swoosh!!!

The spear flew like a bullet and immediately arrives in front of Shin Jiao's figure. However, Shin Jiao did not move and just look at the incoming spear calmly.

The Orc sneered upon seeing that the human is not moving. He thought that the human is trembling in fear and would be skewered by his spear.

But then suddenly something happened that made the Orc's eyes went wide in disbelief.

This is because; Shin Jiao just lifted his two fingers and caught the spear in the middle. The spear stops in its trajectory and this causes the Orc to feel that the human might not be that simple. But he did not want to give up.

So he immediately grabs another spear, this time he wanted to charge and attack the human head-on. However, before he could do anything, he suddenly found himself losing his consciousness and a slight pain could be felt on his chest.

When the Orc looks down, he saw that there is a fist-sized hole on it.

On the roof, a slight smirk appears on Loom's beautiful face as she blew the smoke coming from her handgun.

"Let's go!" she said as she darted towards the battlefield.

Warkita and Hoodwig looked at each other and followed behind Loom.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao turns his attention elsewhere. Within the 100 meters radius of his spiritual sense, he could see that there are shadowy figures that are lurking in a small alleyway.

"Hmm… Alchemy chemicals…" he muttered as he suddenly jumps to another roof and began running towards the direction of those hidden figures.

…

Inside the barracks where Loom was previously kept, General Grable Brittlerock, the leader of the soldiers who planned and started the coup along with Holdorf Diggingsons, is currently sitting with a depressed expression while looking at the map on the table.

"General, our forces have been defeated. We only have a few soldiers that can still move, but the rest have already fainted." A soldier reported.

Everyone inside the room is now wearing a pale expression as they are trying to suppress the poison in their bodies.

They knew that if the Scavengers lose the battle, then they are all finished. However, they also knew that if the Scavengers win the fight and with their current situation, they would still lose. What infuriates him right now is the news that Loom has escaped the dungeons.

It sounds impossible, but he also discovered it as he went there himself. From the traces inside the dungeon, it seems that she was able to escape without any hardship at all.

He did not want to think about it, but he has the notion that Loom has the antidote to the poison. If that is the case, then the more that he must get her in his hands. If Loom could truly cure the poison, then she is his only hope and the hope to turn this battle around.

Suddenly as if he made a firm decision in his heart. He knew that he must go out and try to find her no matter what the cost is.

"We have to find Loom… We have to go out now!" he suddenly shouted as he walks outside the door.
