Chapter 626

(Unedited)



Shin Jiao has been through a lot of schemes before and has overcome it with his own strength and perseverance. However, that does not mean that he himself does not know how to scheme others. As a spy, he is able to control his emotions to fool others. With this ability, the situation that he is currently facing is not a problem for him.

He carefully adjusted his expression and turned serious.

"For this humiliation, I want to beat you up. That is my only condition." He said with his expression changing into anger and resentment.

From his expression alone, the soldiers could already see that what Ben Xu is telling them might be true. The soldier in charge of checking the identification plate showed disdain on his face and immediately moves forward with his sword at the ready.

"Enough… you should follow me and get your punishment." He said as he extended one of his hands towards Shin Jiao.

Yan Linwa on the side knew that Shin Jiao is already in trouble. As a friend, he really wanted to take a step, but he was once again stopped by the soldier on his side.

"Sir, please think about your family… think about your loved ones. If young doctor Ji is truly a spy, then if you defend him, you and your family would be branded as traitors."

Yan Linwa was a bit taken aback and could not help but show a worried and indecisive look on his face.

Shin Jiao has already noticed his friend being agitated and that troubled look on him shows that he is concerned.

"This guy… How did he become a captain with his soft attitude? Haha… Well, he is a true friend indeed." Shin Jiao thought.

Then suddenly, before the hand of that soldier could touch him. An identification slip appears on them which gave that man a start.

Everyone gawk in disbelief at this scene. They are sure that the young doctor is already showing a scared look on his eyes as if he is truly guilty of something. Yet they didn't expect that he would suddenly give the man an identification plate.

The man subconsciously checks it. He was not that surprised but just was a little confused.

He is sure that he heard someone calling this guy a doctor, why it is that he gave him a commoner soldier status identification plate with the word 'Ji' written on it.

Although he didn't want to admit it, yet this identification plate is actually real.

However, how could he give up at this time? He didn't want to lose this chance to curry favor from Ben Xu. However, the main problem is that there are already many eyes on him.

Suddenly an idea pops out from his mind. And a crafty glint appears in his eyes. How could he give up on this chance?

When he was about to say something a hand suddenly grabs the identification plate.

This startled the young soldier and wanted to erupt in anger. But as soon as he saw who the person who grabs the plate, he was a bit taken aback and suddenly bowed in respect.


"Captain, sir!" he greeted.

"Hmm… This is authentic. Carry on, young man." The captain said and handed Shin Jiao back the identification plate.

Everyone was dumbfounded as the captain left. Many have heaved a sigh of relief, yet many felt dissatisfied with this result. This is especially true for those who are working in the infirmary and are close to Doctor Likwn Ang and his disciple Ben Xu.

But they could not do anything at this moment as the plot that Ben Xu was thinking of was immediately thwarted.

Suddenly before the army could recover, they heard a loud painful cry and saw a figure flying towards a tree.

Ahhh!!!

Thud!

Then everyone saw the unconscious Ben Xu lying beside a big tree in a sorry manner.

Just below his back, a clear footprint could be seen on his white doctor's apprentice robe.

This scene made everyone's jaw drop in disbelief. Everyone was flabbergasted as they didn't know how it happened. But then everyone's eyes shifted to Shin Jiao who is standing calmly on the side with a big grin on his handsome face.

And they all remember the condition that the young doctor has set. And true to what he said he would beat Ben Xu up.

The doctors and the assistants immediately run to help Ben Xu. When they checked his body, they were all stunned then angered.

Suddenly a soldier shouted from the crowd.

"Continue marching!" his voice reverberated through the surroundings waking the soldiers as they began to continue marching.

Those from the infirmary glared daggers at the direction of the soldier but could not find the target of their anger.

When Yan Linwa saw the devious move of his friend he immediately snickered and gave the command while shaking his head.

He immediately walks towards Shin Jiao's direction.

"That was too devious… and a pretty good kick too… Hahaha…" Yan Linwa said while putting his arm on Shin Jiao's shoulder.

Shin Jiao and the other soldiers behind him showed smiles on their faces. Those soldiers who are with Shin Jiao saw what he did and they were all surprised. But everyone felt elated as they too could not take the smug look on Ben Xu.

When they were wounded, they have suffered at the hands of those people. They have to endure so much pain before getting treated. Plus the treatment is far too crude and has made them suffer from the side effects. So these soldiers could not deny that they all felt a bit satisfied with what they have seen.

"Hehe… Well, I always live according to what I said." Shin Jiao just said while shrugging his shoulder.

Everyone laughed as they march forward.

Those from the infirmary glared at the direction of the laughing soldiers while they carried the unconscious Ben Xu.

"Useless… utterly useless…" Doctor Likwen Ang said while gritting his teeth in anger.



Not long later before nightfall, the army has reached the northern border garrison.

General Xang was greeted by a large man with a bulky body, and a fat belly. This is the general in charge of the northern garrison near the mountainous area.

When Shin Jiao saw the garrison, he was a bit amazed at the large building and its high walls. However, what astonished him the most is the size of the garrison. It's actually as big as a small city.

As he and the army enter, he could see many houses and vendors on the road.

He then followed the army towards the soldier's barracks in the garrison.

That night, they have a big feast to welcome the soldiers who came back. But from the expression of General Xang and the bulky fat general in-charge of the garrison, everyone could feel a bad premonition.

Shin Jiao secretly walks closer to the two while he is acting like he is trying to find a seat to eat his dinner.

Then from his position and using his sharp hearing, he heard the conversation.

"The gate has been broken to the Valley of the Gods… We… we lost a lot of soldiers and many monsters have entered the empire." The fat yet bulky man said.

"Damn… We should not have gone through with this plan. If only our elites were not eliminated…"

"Sigh… I know… this is such a huge blow in the morale of the army right now. This is truly unexpected…"

"Then what about the emperor? And… and the other generals?"

"They have already decided to put all of our forces in the eastern front to fight against the beast. But, it looks grave we are already losing this battle... Good news, though."

"What? What do you mean good news?"

"Hehe… I heard from our spies that the Black Iron Empire is also suffering the same situation as us."

"Really? Haha… That's fair enough. But we should prepare, this would be a very long battle…"

"Here take this… this is the map that the empire has just given. Those red areas are places where a large number of beasts are located. It's up to you if you want to eliminate them or take a detour."

With a nod, General Xang thanked his old friend and kept the map.

They would rest for a couple of days in the northern garrison and immediately set out to the capital right after. Then it would depend on the strength of those beasts that have entered the empire if the army would hunt them or not.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao's eyes are already glued to the map that General Xang is holding. That is what he needed to find his way towards the entrance to the Valley of the Gods. Plus he is also curious as to how it was destroyed and what kinds of monsters were able to enter the Golden Dragon Empire.

That night, a shadow appears inside General Xang's room and carefully searched through his belongings. Not long later, that shadow found the map and carefully walked towards the table. The map was laid flat on the table and the shadow scrutinized it burning the drawing of the map into that person's mind.

After a while, that shadow folded the map and return it from where it was found.

Shin Jiao has already memorized the map into his mind. He already has an idea of which direction to go and didn't need the army anymore. Hence he decided to leave the garrison and travel on his own.

As he was about to go out of the tent, a voice suddenly enters his ears.

"Are you just going to leave?"

It was a very familiar voice and when Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the person lying on the bed, he saw General Xang calmly sitting up.

"Sigh… I don't know what your purpose is, but I just wanted to ask you for a favor."

Shin Jiao just stood there on the spot.

Seeing that the young doctor did not have any reaction, General Xang stood up and walked towards the table. He then took out a small box from a large chest.

When Shin Jiao's eyes shifted to the large chest he discovers that the small box is the only thing inside of it.

"This is a special item that has many potential uses but is very dangerous to us humans." General Xang said.

Then he opens the small box on the table. When Shin Jiao saw what's inside the box, he was a bit taken aback. That is because it was actually a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry made of… the black and white stones.
