The Geared Immortal

The downfall of a kingdom Part 3

/*unedited*/

A long number of demons and the species that allied with them are now marching towards the border that separates their forces and the humans and its ally. The demon army is a bit disorderly as there are only a limited number of demon generals that controls them. This situation has already taken a toll on the demon king\'s subordinates, but as warriors, they did not want to give up in this war.

Among these countless numbers of the demon army, a large group suddenly separates from the group. This large group numbering to almost a hundred thousand marches towards a huge gate.

When Shin Jiao saw this, a deep foreboding feeling filled his heart. He didn\'t know where that large group or army went to and what their purpose is, but he has a bad feeling about that movement from the demons.

"This is bad, where is that group going?" Shin Jiao muttered as he continues watching the marching army.

"What do you mean, Shin?" Agnes asked on the side.

"Look at that group that just separated from the main army. We need to know where they are going." Shin Jiao said pointing at the hundred thousand demon army marching towards a huge portal.

"Okay, I will find out," Agnes said as she stood and rushed directly towards the group.

"We will meet in the main battleground. I and Silvira will be infiltrating the main demon army." Shin Jiao said in his headpiece.

As the three separate, their figures changed into demons with red hair and black horns.

Shin Jiao has already almost perfected the camouflage array on the robes they are wearing. They already have their own goals and have already talked about what they should do next and their own assignments to end the war.

Meanwhile, on a floating demon warship sat a demon wearing his black heavy armor and a long heavy sword on his back. The image of Belfast standing at the helm of the floating warship is too imposing as he exudes the aura of a ruler.

His subordinates the pure ones are being inspired by their leader along with the new generals he has promoted. However, it seems that the manas of the new generals are not enough to control the demon army smoothly.

Hence down below, every now and then there would be some lesser demons that would be trampled upon and die. But Belfast didn\'t want to bother with this. What he is looking forward to, is the head-on-fight between his forces and the human allied force.

The meeting place for the two forces would be in the middle of the main border where the final conflict would be staged. But one of his strategists didn\'t agree with this, so they devised a plan to hit the human while they are vulnerable.

Using the last of their young maiden demons as a sacrifice, they have opened a large gate to teleport a part of their army to destroy the border forts. This is because they knew that the forts would not be defenseless.

The last two of their super cannons that can break the holy energy fields are being carried by this army.

The threat of the demon queen didn\'t bother Belfast. Because he just saw it as the last struggle of the dying queen.

And so the demon army marches below the floating warship, as a glint of excitement can be seen in Belfast\'s crimson glowing eyes.

"This… this is what I have been waiting for. The smell of blood in the air and the sound of war drums echoing through the skies. This is the sound of death and my victory… Hahaha…" Belfast muttered under his breath as an evil grin appears under his dark metallic helmet.

"My king, the other group has successfully entered the gate to the west…" a demon soldier said as he reported the progress of the war to the demon king.

"Good proceed with the plan! We will crush the humans and the beast clan empire in one fell swoop. We will not give them a chance to retreat." commanded Belfast with an imposing voice.

"Yes, my King."

…

Meanwhile, thousands of warships are currently flying through the air moving forward. In one of the largest warships, a group of men and women are gathered in a large room. These are the generals, leaders, and the heads of the combined humans and beast clan forces.

In a quiet corner, Qin Lou sat while looking at her phone. She is waiting for a message from Shin Jiao on the current situation on the other side.

After Shin Jiao left for the demon territory, Qin Lou\'s heart has been in turmoil for a long time. However, upon reading his messages every now and then, it made her happy and felt tranquil and relaxed. The two have already shared a night together.

She has confirmed that the man she has fallen in love with was the one who took her first time. However, she could not help but feel sad upon learning that she almost fell for the impostor. But she could not help it because of the way he talks and his looks are exactly like that of Shin Jiaos.

"What should I do after returning?" she thought.

This thought has been bugging her for a very long time. Since the long-range communication array has not yet been set to all the empire, the communication between them is still through letters and voice stones. Yet, she has not received anything from the Shin County or the base itself.

Although a little afraid, Qin Lou didn\'t want to think about it first. She wanted to focus on the task on hand and think about how to deal with the other matters later.

While still in a stupor, the other leaders are already talking about and reviewing their strategy in facing the large demon army.

It is known that the demon army outnumbers them 5 is to 1. However, the current ships and the weaponry sent by Shin County are enough to make it balanced.

Outside of the floating warship along with the other warship are ships with weird design. They look like floating aircraft carrier with many fighter jets already on deck. Many of the pilots of this fighter jets are just normal mortals, however, this time the many of the cultivators do not look down on them.

"I hope that we can receive some firsthand Intel within the demon army this time." Prince Li Yan Xi said while looking at the battle map on the large table in the middle of them.

*Message ring tone

Suddenly the phone on Qin Lou\'s hand received a message.

This sound immediately silenced the room. Everyone\'s gaze is on the graceful woman in the corner wearing a veil on her face.

Qin Lou immediately read the message and a surprised look on her face appear. Then she lifted her gaze and looks at the prince and the rest of the leaders.

"We… they… they have discovered that almost 100 thousand demon army has entered a gate portal to one of the border forts near the west. But… but Shin Jiao advised us to continue facing the demon army who are advancing by foot. He said that he has a plan… and to… trust him." she said.

When the leaders heard this, a cacophony of discussion immediately filled the air.

"What!? How can this be? Did the demons trick us?"

"I think the demons have underestimated our forces so much that they are confident to divide their forces."

"Well, we can\'t deny that… Ever since the war, we are always at the losing end. It was all thanks to that young man that we are able to have an advantage in this war."

The generals and leaders discussed.

"Maybe this is just a trick from that demon queen." suddenly master Ju whispered to the 2nd prince.

"I don\'t think so. This is a very simple plan actually. A simple pincer attack just relying on their number and power. In fact, I would say that it is a stupid plan." Li Yan Xi replied in a low voice.

"This is getting interesting…" he thought as he went into deep contemplation.

Due to the distance, it is estimated that it would take them two days to reach the border ridding the fast warships. But the demons since they are just walking, it would take them a long time. So they have time to prepare for the battle for at least a day in advance.

As the two forces are about to clash, Shin Jiao and his two companions are traveling with the demon army. He is currently looking for the leaders of the expedition.

Not long later to his surprise, he saw the demon leading the group, it was their old friend, demon captain Harval. But he is now promoted into a general.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he smiles.

"This guy has a lot of prospects. He not only escaped the trap but also was promoted into a general. What a lucky guy!" Shin Jiao exclaimed in his mind.

However, beside him, he can feel a cold chill of killing intent emitting from the body of Silvira. Deep in her heart, she could not forget that demon that almost killed her at that time. Right now, she wanted to rush forward and cast a holy blast directly on that smug face of the disgusting demon.

Suddenly, she felt a warm hand holding hers and a voice in her mind.

"Keep your killing intent to yourself.. We can\'t be discovered."
