The Geared Immortal

Chapter 559

(Unedited)

…

Two days have passed since Shin Jiao arrives at the army camp of the Silver Moon Empire. The camp has now transferred to a fortress that was quickly constructed by the soldiers. Although in a rush, the fortress was still constructed really impressively using large logs and builders.

In fact, if Shin Jiao didn't saw its construction he would doubt that this was constructed using the medieval engineering method.

He was very surprised at the skill of the craftsmen of this land.

Plus he discovers that although all the people could not use their spiritual Qi, some still have inhuman strength, fast agility, and can jump really high. Just like those in martial arts movies from the earth. Just without the Qi energy wave and attacks.

And in these two days, he has integrated himself into the medical department of the infantry company and became one of the doctors in it along with the old doctor.

Shin Jiao has learned a lot from the old man. He knew more about western medicine and has less knowledge of Chinese medicine. This is because even in the Chinese military, modern western medicine is widespread.

It was already dusk and he was already done with his rounds in the medical tent. Right now, he is looking at the horizon while remembering the face of Susan Tang.

"I really missed you… I hope that the old senior was able to save you… Susan… I will try my best to come back as soon as I can… please wait, okay?" he muttered in the air while looking at the slowly descending sun.

As he was looking at the horizon, Shin Jiao suddenly noticed something. Although his Qi and Mana are being suppressed in this place, his contact lens and other gears can still function. Hence he is able to see something in a distance.

"Soldiers… enemy soldiers…" he muttered.

Suddenly someone from behind him seems to have been startled as he suddenly walked forward.

"What do you mean?" the old doctor suddenly said with a panic-stricken expression.

Shin Jiao pointed at the horizon.

As the old doctor followed the direction he is pointing he was a bit confused. This is because he could not see anything.

Shin Jiao suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"Magnify the view up to 10 kilometers…"

Upon his command, the contact lens in his eyes suddenly zoomed in and what he saw is a large number of slowly marching infantry wearing bronze armor.

From afar they look like a golden armored army marching towards the battlefield. Their imposing formation made Shin Jiao feel a sense of awe and admiration towards the officer of the army.

"It seems that this is a well-trained and battle-hardened battalion. This might be the Golden Dragon Empire… with that huge number we might be facing a difficult battle in our hands." Shin Jiao thought.

In these two days, he has already made some make-shift long-range weapon for himself. He has found out that there are already crossbows in the army. However, it is hard to draw and requires a lot of effort hence he modified one for his own use.

Unknown to many, Shin Jiao's strength although was affected by the mysterious power of this land, still maintains a significant amount of power that can be compared to a spirit refining realm cultivator. It means he's like Hercules living among the mortals.

However, he could not expose this because he still needs to gather more information about this place.

So far what the doctor told him is not yet enough.

He knew that these vast lands seem to be surrounded by tall mountains around them. Many called these mountains as God's land. And those who try to trespass in these lands would surely suffer death. From the words of those who have tried and came back, they saw large bloodthirsty beasts all over the mountainous areas.

Plus, Shin Jiao also discovered that those who have entered this place through any one of the four 'Gates of the gods' seems to have no recollection of their past.

And so, Shin Jiao wanted to know more about those mountains. He has a hunch that in those places he can find a way to exit this place.

But for now, he needs to prepare himself for the upcoming battle.

With that, he ran towards their living quarters and immediately grabs his weapons.

Seeing his action the old doctor was a bit confused, but still trusted and followed Shin Jiao. He found the strange way that the young man cured the patient is very unique and interesting. Plus as someone who dabbles in medicine, the old man's attention was grabbed by those weird decoction and powder that the young man-made.

And so he too gathered his stuff and walked near Shin Jiao.

"Young Qiong Ji, are you sure about what you've said… there are enemies approaching?" the old doctor asked feeling a bit scared.

"Yes… I'm sure of it."

"Then we have to tell the General about this."

"No need, I think they already know." Shin Jiao said while pointing at the top of a tower.

From there he saw a soldier running towards the war drums and then began beating it. The rhythm of the beating warns everyone that there is an enemy coming. And when the soldiers heard this, the 1,000 plus soldiers began to gather while wearing their own armors and weapons.

Not long later, they have already stood in a huge army formation waiting for the General to address them.

And it didn't take long before the great general, Jingxi Hu walked up to the platform while carrying his helmet on his hand.

He looks at the soldiers under him and looks at each and every one of them with determination and concern in his eyes. He knew that after this battle there would be many soldiers who will die. Or it might even be possible for their whole army to be wiped out.

However, he would not give up without a fight. Plus he has already made a lot of preparation in this battle. He is confident that he would hold this position and make their enemy suffer.

"Soldiers of the great Silver Moon empire… we are currently in the face of a very strong enemy. And the enemy that is trying to invade our lands… many years ago, they have already taken a large part of our land and now they wanted to have more of it… If we do not fight back… your families… our families… will suffer in their hands." He shouted with great fervor.

"And so I request everyone to fight, not only for yourselves but also for your family and for the glory of our great empire… Long live the Silver Moon Empire! Long Live the Silver Moon Empire!" shouted General Jingxi Hu.

With his loud shout, all the soldiers were riled up in their determination to fight and also shouted with him.

The loud resonating sound made Shin Jiao who is standing on the side feel a bit excited. He didn't know why he feels this way, but he wanted to see how the olden times wage war and battle with his own eyes.

He knew that he would be seeing a carnage and bloody battle. But for some unknown reason, he truly wanted to see it.

And so, the two doctors followed their own infantry company soldiers to their post. Shin Jiao has already visited this make-shift infirmary tent. And he has already arranged everything to make it more sanitary. As a soldier, he is aware of the importance of sanitation in this place.

Although he didn't care about any of these soldiers but as someone who acted his role, Shin Jiao would always play the part 100% by heart. And since his disguise is a doctor then he would play the part of a doctor.

"Young man, we should wait inside this place and pray to the gods that we would not be hit by any flying objects…" the old doctor said.

Shin Jiao can feel the fear in his voice.

Shin Jiao didn't ask anything about the doctor as they would just mind their own business and not bother with each other. But he finds the doctor very kind and humble. Plus, from some of the belongings of the doctor that he saw, he can deduce that the doctor's background is not simple.

"I will follow the senior's advice and stay in here." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

However, his words were soon refuted not long after he said it as a soldier suddenly enters the tent.

"Doctor Ji… the captain is looking for you. You have to come to the battlefield with us." A soldier suddenly walked inside the infirmary and called for Shin Jiao.

With a puzzled expression, Shin Jiao just looks at the soldier and then to the doctor.

"Sigh… I guess I won't be staying with you then senior. This one will be leaving then…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

The old doctor seems a bit hesitant but he dares not disobey the words of the captain.

"Young man, be careful out there, okay?"

So Shin Jiao followed the young soldier behind and enter a white tent with several guards surrounding it.

"Captain, doctor Ji is here…" the soldier said as he bowed and walked out of the tent.

When the captain saw Shin Jiao, his eyes just took a glance at his figure and didn't even lift his head as he continues writing.

"I heard that you are a good doctor… and your strange method of treatment has helped a lot of my soldiers recover from their wounds…" the captain said while still writing.

Shin Jiao just stood there and didn't reply. Although he is keeping a low profile, he would not tolerate anyone who shows disrespect towards him. Hence he didn't answer the captain.

With a knitted brow, the captain lifted his head and looks at Shin Jiao's eyes directly.

When their eyes met, the captain was a bit taken aback. He didn't expect that the so-called amnesiac doctor has a strong gaze.. When he looks at Shin Jiao's eyes he felt his soul being sucked inside of it.
