The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1412

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 12

…

The snowy forest is filled with white snow that even the trees are frozen ice with their leaves and bushes below.

In this part of the snowy forest, a strange phenomenon is happening.

Inside a cave, cold air would rumble in and out as if the cave is alive and breathing.

And because of this moving air, the trees and rocks just outside the cave are all frozen ice.

Right at this moment, a group of people wearing white camouflage suits that made them blend with their surroundings are currently walking through the forest ground and slowly approaching the cave.

Soon, they reached about 50 meters from the entrance, and the one leading the group raised his hand to stop them.

Using hand signals, the man leading them issues his command and the group is separated into three.

One group went to the left and the other suddenly jumped high up to the trees.

"Command, this is Alpha Team we are preparing to enter the demonized beast lair…" the leader said in a low voice to the coms on his side.

'Confirm that Alpha Team… proceed with caution…' the voice on the other end of the coms replied.

With a nod of his head, he signaled for everyone to proceed and enter the beast's lair.

If this is any ordinary day, these soldiers would not dare to enter this place. The reason is that… this lair has a C-Rank level demonized beast. Not only that… in this place, there are many D-Rank creatures lurking in the shadows.

So even if there are 100 awakened soldiers entering this cave, they would not be able to survive unless a B-Rank awakened goes with them. That is how dangerous this place is.

But today, these D and E rank soldiers seem to have eaten a lion's gall that they would bravely enter such a dangerous place.

It did not take long before the sound of muffled shooting could be heard inside and the roar of beasts echoed inside the cave.

An hour later…

The Alpha team walks out from the cave some of them have wounds on their bodies while others are walking cautiously outside.

Then from the cave's mouth, five of them are working together to drag a creature the size of a small house.

"Command, this is Alpha Team… The mission is a success… we have no casualty, but only a lot of wounded." He reported.

No one answered him which made him feel a bit worried.

"Command, this is Alpha Team, can you hear me?" he called out.

The people beside him showed a confused expression while looking at him.

"What's wrong Captain? No one is answering?" ask a soldier beside the captain.

"Yes, I think there is something wrong with the radio…" the captain takes out his earpiece and checks it.

'This… This is command… Alpha Team, are you sure about your report?'

A skeptical tone appears at the other end of the line.

When the captain heard this, he showed a slight smirk on his face as he looks at the normal CAW in his hand.

"Affirmative Command…"

After that call, he walked toward the rest of the soldiers who are wounded and then saw them breathing heavily on the ground.

"Sir, should we use… that?" a medical officer asked with a hint of hesitation.

"No, that thing is too precious and only a few of us have it. It could only be used in case of life and death emergency…" the captain said.

After seeing that his team is fine, the captain heaved a sigh of relief as he looks at the horizon.

"Captain… with these weapons, we can defeat those demons easily. Even that C-Rank beast's skin was easily penetrated by this weapon…" a soldier commented from the side.

"C-Rank… That is the level of the beast and man that this thing can kill… Higher than that, then it would become hard…" the captain said while in deep thought.

…

At this time, in the village, Xin Ja is currently talking to a beautiful woman under the envious gaze of the soldiers around them.

The woman is Samantha Walters. She visited Xin Ja to talk to him about something and also to tell him that she would be leaving the village soon and returning to the city.

The main city in this part is called the City of Evalence. It is a huge city ruled by the judges who were established after the world was suddenly attacked by demons.

As per the rule of the city which was established 2 years ago, the judges should be composed of half military and half civilian.

For civil affairs, half of the judges are assigned to them, while for military affairs… the military judges are the ones controlling them.

So far, the arrangement works, as the city of Evalence and its nearby towns and villages have felt their protection and influence. It created great wealth for the city and its borders as if creating a small empire within the country.

After talking for a while, Samantha waves him goodbye and left.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja went back to the laboratory where he saw Gun Mace happily cleaning his desk.

"You seemed pleased…" he greeted.

Gun Mace who heard him suddenly stopped and then walked in front of Xin Ja.

"Haha… I've done it! I finished the suit… I will call it Goliath Suit… GS for short… Hehehe…" Gun Mace happily said while walking towards a 3-meter-tall hunk of metal.

Xin Ja could not help but smile after seeing the… Goliath Suit.

In fact, he did this so that Mecha could be introduced into this world. That way, they could have a fighting chance against those humongous demons.

"But the energy core… It is not enough to power the suit. It could only work for… at most 3 minutes…" Gun Mace's expression became a bit sad upon saying this.

But Xin Ja is not worried about such a thing. He would just introduce a more stable and powerful power core than the current one they are using.

As the Goliath Suit was activated, Gun Mace proudly walked around the room making the rest of the researchers look at him with envy and annoyance.

They could not concentrate on their work as every step that the giant made would shake the room.

"Alright, enough of that… I think I have to separate your research from the others…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

Gun Mace has his own team of researchers. So when they heard those words, they were all excited.

They wanted to have their own office and they would not need to share with the others anymore. And this made them all feel happy.

After presenting the prototype plan to Xin Ja, he began teaching the group what they could do to improve the prototype. As of its current state, it is not viable enough to be presented in the military.

Although the suit is sturdy and all, it is still a sitting target.

Though it is as strong as a C-Rank, it would not last long after a bombardment.

So they would need to change a lot of things about it to make it more suitable for combat.

…

Two days later…

After Gun Mace and his team got their own research office, Xin Ja presented them with the new plan for the power core.

He let the group create the power core according to the blueprint he gave them.

While walking out of the new office of Gun Mace, Xin Ja was greeted by Cohan Vale who is leaning calmly on the wall.

"You are letting them gain honor on behalf of you… I can't understand what's going on in your mind…" he commented.

"Senior… On the other side, I already have enough honors that the kingdom of Jimal has become a modern city compared to the rest of the kingdom… After the advancement of the kingdom, no other kingdoms would dare to attack us anymore. I wanted to create such a result in here too…" Xin Ja explained.

"I just hope that these things are enough to drive those demons out…"

"I hope so too…"

"Ah, by the way… I am here to inform you that the artifact would now be sent to Evalence. We are to go to the city…" Cohan Vale said with a grin.

"You… You're taking me?"

"Hehe… Of course, but I requested an extension… I wanted to see that thing running up and working before we go… We can use that kind of firepower and muscle in our journey…" he said while pointing at the room.

Xin Ja knew that the guy already know about the Goliath Suit. So he nodded his head.

If he can go to the city of Evalence, then maybe he can deduce how strong this place really is.

If so, then he can plan his next moves.

So far, he heard one victory after another from the soldiers going to the snowy forest. The CAW weapons are enough to trample on those demons and demonized beasts in the wilderness.

And this result is already according to his deduction.

…

Meanwhile, in the snowy wilderness, ten draconian are flying in the air while a tall and slender female draconian is leading them.

Nedona has already recruited a lot of powerful local demonized beasts in this part of the forest.

Her next target is a small town just within the borders of the snowy wilderness. In that town, it is said that there is a Shadow Being spy.
