The Geared Immortal

Chapter 830

(Unedited)

…

Around 1,000 men and women wearing animal skin fashioned as a warrior\'s vest or as a mage robe are coming down from the mountains deep within the forest.

The beasts that are caught on their way were swept down by them and were taken before them.

Leading the group is a tall and burly man with a domineering large ax on his back with two hooded women in animal skin vest on both of his sides.

These are the people from the Bandits of the West coming to Arjing Village.

Their presence alone could deter even the fiercest beast in the forest. So how could this not stir the balance within the forest making those beasts run away in fear of these powerful humans?

As the group came down the mountain a scout suddenly appears in front of the man with a giant ax on his back.

"Chief, I have confirmed the location of the merchant group. But… it seems that they have arrived in this place through a… a large flying ship." The scout said while kneeling in front of the burly man.

When the bandit chief heard this, his brows wrinkled in suspicion. He did not know what is happening now as it seems that the traveling merchant is not that simple.

When they receive the news it only told them that the traveling merchant came to the village. And of course, they assume that the traveling merchant arrives through carriages and with a caravan as this is the normal thing in this world.

But who would have known that it is different this time?

Who would have thought that the merchant would be traveling through a flying ship? What kind of concept was that? It is something that no one has ever seen before. Many knew that powerful mages could fly and could perform impossible things, but to make a large ship fly, that is not seen in this kingdom before.

So now the large group of bandits is feeling a bit apprehensive about what to do next? Will they attack the merchant group or scout the area and get more information?

  However, waiting is not part of their routine. They would mostly subdue their target and show power which is their common action. So without any thoughts, the bandit chief suddenly raised his head in the air and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha… This is getting better! Lads! We can have a new way to travel in this land. If we can get that flying ship and make it work for us, then we can go unfettered and unhindered! We can pillage more villages and might even be able to attack towns! This is our chance to become more powerful! Let\'s get that ship! Hahaha…" shouted the bandit chief with a loud chuckle.

When everyone heard these words, it was as if their desires were ignited as they all raised their weapons in the air and loudly said in one accord.

"Attack! Attack!"

"Get the ship!"

"Get the ship!"

Their voices reverberate through the air as it disturbed the forest making the bird resting on the trees fly out.

The great disturbance and the loud shouts from the bandits reverberate through the air as it caused those beasts that are slumbering to shift their gaze in the direction of those voices with great trepidation.

Meanwhile, up in the sky, a small ball is currently hovering stealthily as it observes the forest. When it seems to have detected this disturbance, it immediately flew in the direction of the large group of bandits.

Inside the flying ship\'s captain\'s cabin, a group of people are looking at a screen where what is happening in the forest are being shown.

"There are around a thousand bandits going in our direction, what should we do?" Hua Xiao said with worry in her eyes.

Though they have the mages and the barrier, she is still not sure if it would withstand the attack from thousands of people.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is just sitting on his chair and watching the scene in front of him. No one knew what he is thinking and is waiting for his response.

"We now have a chance to increase our fame." He suddenly said after a while.

When the people around him heard this, they showed confusion in their eyes. Then Xiamen Gong lifted his head and nodded to Axle Long who seems to have understood Shin Jiao\'s point.

"If we take care of those bandits and clean them up, then the Main Arjing city would be able to recognize our strength and might even welcome us amongst them. This would be a great way to interact with the people in that place." Xiamen Gong explained.

"Arjing village is just a small village. If we can get to the Main Arjin City or even just the next Central Town then we would get a chance to expand our influence more." Axle Long added.

When the rest heard the explanation of those two, they showed a hint of understanding. But then on the side, Vilma Song still grumbled.

"I don\'t know why we have to go through this fiasco, Master Shin is already very powerful in this world, why doesn\'t he just smash his way to the kingdom. This is a waste of time… We should get back to our world as fast as we should and not linger in this dangerous place."

Her voice was low but everyone in the room could hear it clearly. Shin Jiao just shook his head as the woman truly did not understand the danger.

In fact, what she said is possible. But what if he did that and the two gods of this world notice him? What then? Those people might be saint rulers or even a deity level being, what can he do against them with his pitiful power?

While thinking up to this point, a mage guard suddenly came rushing and knocks on the room\'s door.

"Master Shin… some soldiers and important people from Arjing Village are here…" the guard said.

Shin Jiao and his group stood up and walk out of the captain\'s cabin. He has already expected that those people would come. He is judging that these people would work out an agreement with them.

And so when the two groups arrive on the ship\'s deck and sat on the negotiation table, the village head and General Xentong Han offer their help with a condition.

"Master Shin, we would like to help you with those bandits… But as you know it is going to cost the lives of our men… So…" General Xentong Han said while dragging his words.

"General Han, what is your condition?" Shin Jiao did not want to beat around the bush and asked.

"Well, we just wanted the technology to process the high-level beast meat. If you can share that technology with us, then we will gladly fight against those bandits." Xentong Han said while lifting his head in a proud manner.

Upon seeing this, the expression of the rest of the people with Shin Jiao turned ugly. How could this General be shameless? The technology to process the high-level beast meat is like a lifeblood for anyone who could get their hands on this miraculous technology, so how could it be given just like that?

"Haha… General Han is thinking too much. With just a small bandit group, my Mystique Shop won\'t give up that easily. But if you really wanted that technology, it is not that impossible to have it… it would cost more than that to buy such a thing, don\'t you think village head, Yein Han?" when Shin Jiao shifted his eyes on the beautiful and mature Yein Han who is sitting on the side of her brother, she showed reluctance on her face.

In fact, she has no power over this matter as her brother is the General of the Army. If she did not agree with him, then he might lead the soldiers away from the village and that would cause the village to be left unguarded, what would happen then?

Though many thought that his brother would not do such a thing, in truth he would. This is his character. No one could stop him from what he is thinking. In fact, her brother has been eyeing Shin Jiao and wanting to get his revenge for quite a while now. He is just waiting for a chance to do it, and now his chance has arrived.

But who would have known that Shin Jiao would not agree?

"Hahaha… Do what you want! Don\'t go crawling towards us when the time comes, you\'re on your own, let\'s see how you can defend yourself against those bandits… I\'ve been fighting them for many years now and one thing I can tell is that they are more powerful than you think they are." Xentong Han chuckled with a sneer as he walks out of the ship.

When Yein Han was about to leave, Shin Jiao called out.

"Village head, would you like to see a show?" he asked with a smile.

The expression on Yein Han was a bit hesitant, but she decided to stay and see what this man would do next.

Her action on the other hand totally enrages Xentong Han as he left with his soldiers back to the village.
