Chapter 211: Declaration of War
For the next two days, Sam was extremely busy and he didn't come out of his room.
At least, that is what the girl knew, because she could feel a strong presence from the room, but three young men knew otherwise.
The girl wanted to meet Sam many times, only to be rejected entry by Watt. But the more times, she was rejected the more determined she was the next time.
One could easily tell that something was up. Watt lost his patience one time and he yelled at her.
"There are many important things in the room for which even your life will not be able to compensate with, so just stay in your room."
Only at that time, did the girl stop the pestering. Watt even saw an expression of understanding and discovery on her face. Albeit briefly.
But what she doesn't know is Sam is outside in the city dealing with the things. He stayed every night outside while he would stay in the tower since dawn till dusk.
He worked on making certain things for the operation in the tower while investigating to find a certain place in the night.
Only at the late night of second day did he find the place and the object he wanted. In these two days, the whole city didn't know that he stole many things. At least, only Sword Marshall, his six subordinates and the one at the office might have noticed, but they didn't make any fuss, this only increased Sam's belief on certain conclusions he drew.
After getting that, he is almost ready for the war he is going to wage and there is no better time than present to do so.
But before that, he needs to send a declaration of war. And why would be alert the enemies before attacking? What is the fun in catching them off guard? Making them feel despair even after giving them a heads up.
Sam moved back to his home and called the remaining three into his room. He gave them three communication tokens which he modified a bit.
Now they are connected in a common channel just like a communication network of a squad.
After giving them necessary instructions, he sent them to the various parts of the city and took out the shadow mice. The ten mice are also given some smaller communication tokens. They are also connected by a certain network.
Since, he can understand the beast tongue, it would be a waste to not use that skill and even more so that he has shadow mice.
After sending them out, Sam took out his own communication device. This is even more different than the two. Sam modified it so that he can change the communication lines as he wants.
He sent Sky and Yanwu out. Since, they can use Level 4 beasts, these two would have a very high advantage, with a single roar from them, the beasts with lower bloodline wouldn't even dare to move. Now, the sky is almost his.
He let Ape, Mia and the Zoi termite Queen who now reached Level 5 inside the house.
If his calculations were correct, there is a high chance that the Grand realm cultivators would intervene to tilt the balance at least to get something out of house.
So, he has to take some precautionary measures.
After that, all he had to do was wait.
Meanwhile, he was waiting, waiting for the things to be delivered to certain places.
At the same time, the girl who sat inside the room also became a little restless, sensing the powerful auras of the beasts and their movements.
She carefully spread her spiritual sense to see what Sam is doing and judging from his expression, he seemed to be waiting to make a move.
She also became ready.
After sometime, Sam got a signal to the communication device which he wore like a Bluetooth earpiece.
He smiled and went out of the house and boarded the harbinger and floated over.
He clicked a small crystal acting as a button on the ear piece and said.
"Hello, everyone this is Sam speaking."
This voice although slow, was clear and dominant, was heard in the various corners of the city in the rooms of various big shots.
The four tower heads, a certain general of the city guard and one of the most important of all and can be considered as Sam's peer the prince Nathan.
The six of them were stunned at communication token that appeared all of a sudden and now after hearing Sam's voice, they are even more stunned.
They didn't expect to hear from Sam at all, they are thinking that he would be full of tension and confusion with the troubles they are causing, but that cold voice is telling them otherwise which also gave them a bad feeling.
In this week alone, they stole five cards from Philip and Jack. They even thought that Sam is clearly afraid of them to even come out of his house.
At this moment, Sam's house suddenly glowed and numerous formations popped up. Sam smirked at the sight and said.
"Right now, the girl you sent for me to 'save' is trapped in my house. You know, you should really do a proper job if you want to fool me, do you think the damsel and distress plan would work on me? Me saving a girl and making the feud between us bigger? Clearly you didn't hear the warnings from the people you gained the information about me.
Anyway, if you had heard those warning you should have never tried to make a move on me. Back to the topic.
I am speaking to you now, to show my appreciation of your efforts, clearly you did a great job finding trouble for me and my companions, except for the plan involving the girl, everything is great, at least for the pea brained idiots like you." He paused again.
The six people listening to the words were enraged, but Sam didn't give them time to retort and continued.
"I know exactly why you are targeting me, but you guys must be foolish to think that I would give in and I know exactly why you guys thought so.
It is because of your feeling of superiority.
It might be due to your cultivation, experience, age and even some ridiculous reason like a superior birth.
And you even played by the rules, using only Great realm cultivators. I must say you guys invested a lot, hiring that many Great realm experts, you must have paid some huge price, but I also paid a price by buying extra cards as an insurance in the competition, but it became a waste as soon as you guys interrupted.
Don't worry, I would take back that amount.
In short, I am making this call to tell you that whatever superiority, arrogance and almighty feeling you had about yourselves that your eyes are so clouded with it to even steal my ideas from me forcefully, I am going to destroy all of that.
Every person who is involved in this, if they are candidates, they would lose their points, if they are not candidates, they would lose their lives.
I won't give a shit if they are of noble birth, if they are artisans, healers, inscription masters, formation experts. The capital of Orion will experience a blood bath today.
Prince Nathan, please do get ready to explain the situation to your emperor father and then get ready to take a hit from your crown prince brother, you might have to bury your thoughts about being the ruler of this nation.
Oh, by the way your sister should be coming to you by now, after all you guys used her beloved friend and assistant as bait in your scheme, all the best dealing with her.
Good Bye."
He closed the communication channel, the six people wanted to reconnect the channel but they failed.
But it wasn't long before their disappointment turned into anxiousness. The city soon turned into chaos.
After cutting the connection, Sam talked with his friends.
"Philip."
"Here."
"Watt."
"Here."
"Jack."
"Here."
"Blast your targets, on count of three.
Three.
Two.
One."
As the count was over, Sam took out a bunch of Grenades and threw them inside a house which is in the same street as his house.
At the same moment, the remaining three did the same.
This Grenade, is one of his recent inventions.
It can serve as both hand grenade and a mine.
It is a five-inch-long cylinder with a diameter of one inch.
There is a half-inch switch on the top.
After pressing the switch, the small cylinder will trigger numerous formations inscribed inside the cylinder which will destroy the space jade filled with an enormous amount of methane.
All this process will be finished in a fraction of seconds and the huge amount of methane pressure will trigger the internal shell made of the impact crystal making it absorb the spiritual energy and activate the small inscription inscribed in it to light the fire.
Even though, the small amount of methane explosions cannot damage a normal cultivator, an explosion of this level will make them lose a limb, now that ten explosions happening at the same time, every single person in the house was burned to death by the blue flames.
These are some of the low level hired thugs that are hired by the big shots who made trouble for them.
This is the explosion signalling their start of War.
Now, they have to move towards their first target.
"Okay, three of you, move towards the Artisan tower, the house of our first target is nearby and according to my info some of the non-candidates who troubled you also live nearby.
You guys enter the field, I will provide you the cover, nobody shall escape today."
