The Geared Immortal

Chapter 982 - The Inner Kingdom: Battle In The Capital (2)

Chapter 982

(Unedited)

…

The black puppets or black golems began to wreak havoc on the battlefield as they were unstoppable. No sword or magic can stop them from rampaging on the battlefield. One soldier after another began to fall in their onslaught which raised the morale of the 1st prince troops.

"Prince Gulliver, we should search for their controllers…" said one of the generals.

"But that would be hard in this chaotic mess…" replied another.

Gulliver clenched his fists as he glared at the figure of the 1st prince standing behind several mages. He could not believe that the prince colluded with the dark mages to try and assassinate his own father. And even in this war, he has aligned himself with them.

Although he knew that the king is also close to a dark mage who is one of his advisers, the king did not use the power of the dark mage to oppress others. Instead, he would ask the dark mage about plagues and pestilence brought to the city by other dark mages. So far, the timely and correct information given to him has saved countless lives.

That is why Gulliver is not actually against dark mages. But in this battle, the use of dark mage power, for him is nothing but a provocation to the power of the light.

Suddenly, from behind the group of generals, an old man walks beside Gulliver.

"Grand Magus Mao!…" one of the generals who recognized the old man said in surprise.

What could this old man from the Tower of Light be doing in this place? This old man is known for his eccentric personality and would always hide inside his tower and seldom goes out. So they are all surprised that he is in this chaotic place right now.

Mao Enosis hasn't been active lately after he received some of the new data in his laboratory. With the cooperation with the Mystique Shop, he began his research and was thoroughly engaged in research on new objects like mana engines, new array formations, crafting gloves, and etc.

As someone who is close to the king and one of his most trusted people in the Tower of Light, Mao Enosis would always support the king. But most of all he likes to research new stuff. In his old age, he has been researching magic for a while and has been stump in his progress.

But upon getting in contact with the Mystique Shop and their new technology, his passion was awakened and he began to once again dive into his research and experimentation.

Right now, he did not want to go out actually. However, after researching the particular screen array command which was in the data, he curiously created a pair of goggles.

"Hello, don't mind me. Just go on with your stuff…" Mao Enosis said as he looks at the battlefield with a strange contraption in his eyes.

Everyone looks at each other feeling a bit dumbfounded.

Suddenly, the old man exclaimed.

"Ah… So that's how it works… Those things are truly amazing. The trace of their dark mana is almost invisible. Hehe… But with this, I am able to see it… Very interesting result… interesting indeed… Hehe…" Mao Enosis said as he observes the battleground.

This group of people with Gulliver and the generals are sitting behind a large number of soldiers surrounded by a barrier. The houses around them were demolished as the barrier was erected and they have a clear view of the battle in the square.

Suddenly, they heard Mao Enosis muttered some words and then he took out something in thin air. The group of generals and even Gulliver were astonished.

They knew that the Mystique Shop people have a Space Warehouse. But they did not know when this old man from the Tower of Light was able to tap in that warehouse.

"Grand Magus Mao… Did you… Did the Mystique Shop share their warehouse with you?" suddenly Gulliver asked with glimmering eyes.

If this is true, then they could grab some of their advanced weaponry in that warehouse and use them in this battle. That would truly lessen their casualty and would lessen their burden.

"Oh, no… I was able to figure out how that thing works. So I created my own… Hehe…" Mao Enosis said with a chuckle.

Suddenly from within the space ripple, he pulled out a long-barreled rifle.

"This… this is one of the weapons…" Gulliver was a bit dumbfounded.

"Oh… This is my own prototype. I feel a bit curious about those long-range weapons that Shin Jiao is using so, I asked him how it works, and from that, I created this…" Mao Enosis said with a proud expression on his face.

He lifted the long-barreled rifle that looks like a long flintlock.

"This is for my experiment, so if I accidentally hurt your troops, then I'm sorry. If I hurt your enemy, then no need to thank me… Hehe…" Mao Enosis said with a chuckle.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this old man.

Then before they could say anything, the group almost keel to the ground by the loud noise erupting from the weapon.

Ka-Boom!

A cloud of dust immediately enveloped the area, which made everyone cough while covering their ears. Due to the loud noise the weapon produced, everyone could feel their ears ringing in pain.

"Damn that old geezer! Is he trying to kill us?" shouted one of the generals.

"Hey, old Mao, are you alright?" General Simo who saw the figure of the old mage flying and hitting the wall immediately darted towards him.

"Cough… cough! That was too powerful; I was not prepared for that! Hahaha… This one has a good kick…" said Mao Enosis.

Then he noticed everyone looking in the direction he shot and he too was a bit flabbergasted.

Right in the middle of the square, a large whole could be seen with smoke billowing in the air.

Several hundreds of the dark golems are already lifeless on the ground.

In that one shot, it seems that he accidentally hit the puppet master.

…

With the dark golem already down, the soldiers of Gulliver regained their footing and once again charges.

"They are now at the disadvantage… Charge!" shouted one of the generals who suddenly unsheathe his sword.

"Wait! Are you going to lead the troops?" another asked seeing the middle-aged general charging.

"Haha… I want to lead them to victory… If I may my prince." He suddenly realized then asked Gulliver for permission.

"Good luck, General," Gulliver said with a nod.

In fact, Gulliver wanted to join the battle, but these old men around him would not let him. So he has no other choice but to look at the battlefield and glare at the 1st prince standing a distance on the other side.

Meanwhile, Mao Enosis is already standing and then he threw the long rifle towards General Simo.

"Take this… It works fine, but do not use its full power… That was too dangerous… But if you shot one of those old men up there using that, then you can use its full power. Hehehe…" Mao Enosis said with a chuckled as he also removes the goggles on his head and tosses them to the old general.

General Simo could not help but shake his head.

He knew that this old mage did not change his attitude from when he was still young until now. He is not interested in anything but his experiments.

"Well, I guess, I have to put these things into good use then." General Xun Simo said as he carefully put on the goggles.

He could then see much information about those people flying above as he looks up. Then as he looks at the battleground he could tell that there are still some black golems on the battlefield.

"So that's how it works…" he muttered to himself as he walks to the platform and stands beside Gulliver.

"Price Gulliver, that old man presented us a gift." General Simo said with a wide grin on his face.

Looking at the old man wearing the goggles, Gulliver could not help but shake his head.

"Alright, use it as you will, General," Gulliver said also feeling a bit curious.

He saw what had happened, but did not comprehend everything. So now that there is another chance to see it, he wanted to see how it really works. He already knew how devastating its power is. If the kingdom could have such a weapon, then the beasts would not a threat to them in the future.

"Let's set this in the medium power…" General Simo muttered then follows the instruction from the goggles as it seems that the goggles are connected to the weapon.

Then he carefully aimed at a particular target.

But before he could press the trigger, Gulliver suddenly said.

"General wait… aim the weapon towards the 1st prince and their entourage… if they fall, then the war would surely end.." Gulliver said with a slight frown on his face.
