The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1211

(Unedited)

…

After getting the information from Town head Jia, Commander Zhou immediately takes out a map.

Meanwhile, Captain Yu approaches the commander and lowered his head.

"Sorry for my slipup… commander. I almost got…" Captain Yu said with a lowered head.

"Yes… But you should not dwell on it. We all make mistakes. Even your companions did not expect that the soldiers are actually the enemy…" Commander Zhou said.

"Commander… how did you?..." Captain Yu wanted to ask but stopped.

"One of them is wearing a piece of armor with a hole on his heart… If he owns that armor, then he should have died, right? And also, if you have used your thermal imaging you can see the state of the town head inside the carriage…" Commander Zhou explained.

Everyone suddenly became enlightened as they listened.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja is currently inside his Mecha while busily calibrating something and did not want to be bothered.

After they have settled everything, Commander Zhou called the group for a meeting.

"The town has been subdued and the soldiers along with the civilians have been captured. We did not get any information except this. So we need to go to the town of Tork and scout it from the inside…"

"Wait, commander… That would be a very dangerous mission, right? I mean… they are expecting the army from the Jimal Kingdom to go and defend the town…" someone said.

"Then…"

"Wait! I have a suggestion… Since they are already in the city, then the prisoners might be somewhere. We can just directly secure the prisoners and then attack the town…" Xin Ja suggested.

"Hmm… That is plausible if we have enough forces…" Commander Zhou said.

"Hehe… You guys might have forgotten how we were able to defeat the soldiers of the Glysko kingdom in the mist trapped town…" Xin Ja said with a grin.

"Wait a minute… Are you talking about using the same tactics? But the town has masks… the soldiers have already been given gas masks…" Captain Yu said.

"Well, I'm… I actually calibrated and changed some of the chemical components of the gas… I will call this Transposable Gas Bomb." Xin Ja said as he showed a fist size ball in his hand.

"I have crafted around 100 of these… Hopefully, they can be useful…" he said as he showed them.

He then showed them how the bomb works and how the chemicals could be interchanged. It produces 3 types of effects… sleeping, disorienting, and blinding.

After the group knew of the effect and the range the gas could cover, they all showed excited expressions on their faces.

"We should begin our operation tonight…" Commander Zhou said.

"Okay, but we should locate the prisoners first…" Xin Ja said as he went back to his Mecha and takes out a small ball that looks like it has many eyes on its body.

"This is a scouting drone… But to be able to use it, since it uses the radio frequency… we need to be at least 1 kilometer away from the town…" Xin Ja explained.

"That is like walking in an open target…" Captain Yu said.

"Well… I actually can use a simple camouflage array, if I want to…" Xin Ja said as he takes out a piece of cloth with many glyphs on the sides.

As he puts it on his body, the cloth changes its appearance and then blended with its surroundings.

"This will only last for 30 minutes…" he explained.

"I can use that! I want to try and scout the area." The female scout said.

"Are you sure about this Wanrong?" someone said to stop her.

"I know that you are our best scout… but this mission is a bit tricky and dangerous…" he added.

"Don't worry… I'm the best scout in our group. So you don't have to be worried too much…" she said with confidence.

Xin Ja nodded his head. He then taught her how to use the drone and how to turn it invisible.

After a few instructions and trials, Junior Officer Gi Wanrong left and quickly walks in the direction of Tork town along with two others.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja and the rest began arming their Mechas with the Transposable Gas Bomb.

…

It was already nighttime when Wanrong and the two went back to the secret camp of the group.

The three have a sullen expression on their faces.

"How was it?" Commander Zhou asked with a frown.

He did not expect any good news at this time because he could already tell the situation from the faces of those three.

"We have to rescue them quickly. If not, many more would surely die…" Gi Wanrong said while clenched fists.

She then told them the direction and showed them the video recording of the drone that was sent. After seeing everything, the anger in the faces of the people around watching the scene taken is clearly written on their faces.

"Those bastards have truly pushed this too far…" someone shouted in anger.

"They are too inhumane…" the town head said with a sad expression on her face upon seeing what has happened to her people.

"Alright, let's plan out the rescue…" Commander Zhou said.

This time, they have the town head to plan out the path out of the town just in case they begin their rescue.

After 2 hours of planning the group has then feel contended that they have completed the process.

"The number of the enemy is not conclusive as to the attacking force… I think their main force is nearby…" Commander Zhou said as the others nodded.

"I will try and find them now…" Gi Wanrong said as she stands up.

The town is really not that big but the numbers of soldiers are only ten units in Mechas. Although they are in Mecha, if they are besieged by many soldiers, then they would not be able to survive. But it seems that from the scouting that Wanrong has done, there are only a few hundred soldiers in the town.

So it really means that the Glysko kingdom is turning the town into a trap and then their armies would be assaulting it after the soldiers from the Jimal kingdom enters it.

"I think they are after the Mechas… Since the town did not have any Mecha… Then they are setting this trap up so that when a Mecha enters, they would besiege it." Xin Ja suddenly said.

"Then… the more we should rescue the town folks…" Captain Yu said.

"Hmm… What if we hold our ground in here and call for reinforcements…" Xin Ja suggested.

"We can defend these places…" he then pointed at some of the positions in the map where defenses could be constructed.

"I will make the traps… you guys make sure that everyone is safe…" he added.

The idea is plausible but they look at him with doubtful eyes.

"Sigh… I am a runemaster… I am very proficient in creating runes… especially traps…" Xin Ja said proudly.

Commander Zhou nodded.

"But this is only our backup plan… okay?"

And so, the scouts began their duty and left the camp earlier.

The rest followed suit while the town's head and her son is being carried by Xin Ja since he is staying at the back of the group.

They soon arrive within the boundary of the town and hid within the forests.

Gi Wanrong and her scout group quickly made their move and began searching the area. Only 30 minutes have passed when she radio back and reported their findings.

Upon hearing the result, the expression of everyone turned sour. This is because… the enemy soldiers have actually positioned themselves around the town. Luckily for the group, the path they took did not have any army blocking it.

But the enemy soldiers will be surrounding the town on all sides. This is to make sure there would be no escape route.

"We might be in a pinch here." Commander Zhou said but has a determined expression on his face.

"Guys… You have been trained for this… This is the day that we will show the prowess of our Mecha Squad 00." He added.

"Yes! We will not back down… We will do plan B then…" Captain Yu said.

"Hmm… Well, you don't have to worry about the prisoners… If we can move them to the town's hall… there is actually an underground area in there that was built just in case this kind of thing happens. At that time, it was not used because we were taken by surprise. But that place is a perfect hiding place for the people of the town. Plus it has food and some medical stuff in there." She said as he took over the coms of Xin Ja.

"Then we should proceed with Plan B. Madam you should go with Wanrong this time to be their guide…" Commander Zhou said as the town head and her son transferred to Wanrong's Mecha as they are part of the rescue team.

Xin Ja, on the other hand, is the only Mecha who will not be entering the town. This is because of his special identity.. He accepted this task, but of course, feels excited as he patted the long rifle on his Mecha's back.
