Chapter 249: Start of the War
That night, a whole battalion was evacuated from their quarters so that Sam can carry on the bloodline refinement.
The deal he made with the White-winged Vulture is similar to the one he made with the shadow mice and the queen termite.
The bloodline improvement and a better environment compared to their current ones.
But the power level of him and the Vulture are too far apart, so it would be difficult to for him to completely refine the bloodline, so what he made a deal that he would do a partial refinement and he is doing so now.
The situation of the Vulture is similar to Sky. So, all need is an adequate amount of spiritual energy, but Sam cannot lay down a formation of that type that would be suitable for a Level 6 beast with his current cultivation level.
So, he made laid the best formation he could lay which is for a level 4 beast, although it wouldn't change the beast's bloodline completely, it can still have some partial improvement, which is what he promised to the beast.
The process went on for two days straight and the Vulture could feel its body changing a little bit. The feathers turned more silver and it could feel its overall bloodline more superior.
[I will give you five years, by then I want you to purify my bloodline completely.]
"Deal."
The next morning, after the refinement was over, Sam bid his farewell to the emperor and left Watt here to help them in training the regiments, and started his journey back.
This time, he didn't use the Harbinger and used the vulture. He flew above the clouds and the journey was very fast.
He soon entered the southern star Dukedom. In two days, the Arian would start a war on the southern star but for that, he has to create some chaos so that the war would be pretty one-sided and the reinforcements wouldn't arrive that easily.
The soldiers are trained to follow orders, so what happens if the people who give orders have a handful.
So, his plan started.
The first thing is, he announced his presence through the Blackwater and the officials are once again tense, they know that Sam has planned something big if he was away for a month, so they are praying that he wouldn't do anything to the places where they are staying.
Most of their prayers were answered because, this time, Sam didn't attack any resource point, rather he made a move on the Dukedom capital itself.
He entered the woods near the southern star Dukedom and released the ape, yanwu, and Sky. Along with the vulture, the three beasts started stirring up the whole forest.
It became chaotic and the beasts which truly rule the area deep inside are getting annoyed and with the Vulture clearly throwing the challenges left and right, the beasts almost went crazy.
Soon, the vulture was able to provoke five beasts which are at Level six and all of them started moving towards the outer areas of the forest where the people generally wander.
And this situation caught the eyes of the General and the Duke.
They thought that Sam would move towards another resource point and sent general Fischer there while General Mercury is guarding the city.
They didn't expect that the beasts would rile up at this moment and from the looks of it, things are pretty serious.
They immediately arrived at the forest and sensed that beasts from Level 3 to Level 6. All of them are suddenly extremely active and the outer areas are completely occupied.
If the animals get annoyed by the human traffic now, they might consider charging at the City.
The Duke didn't expect this situation. He immediately called all the cultivators who are Novice and above so that they could guard the perimeter.
At this moment, Sam already flew into the clouds along with the Vulture and there are two people who are in the forest regions where Level 4 beasts are present.
They are Philip and Jack.
They sneaked there and suddenly launched an attack on the Level 4 beasts and started running towards the human perimeter.
The beasts who are clearly annoyed by the constant pestering and unfruitful results of their search all these days, are now completely pissed off and started following them.
When the human camp was visible completely, beasts increased their momentum at the sight of massive numbers.
At this moment, the vulture dove down and picked up both Jack and Philip with his talons and flew away.
Before the Nascent stage cultivators present or other level six beasts could react, the vulture disappeared from their sight.
Sam left the place as if it doesn't have anything to do with him.
But the Duke and the rest are having the hardest time.
The soldiers and the city guards became busy and the beasts and humans are at a small-scale war at the borders of the Southern star city.
And this is not the worst thing that could happen.
Because at this moment, Sam arrived at the military base. Since all of the big shots and more than two regiments are away from the base, Sam landed domineeringly with the vulture and went towards the food section of the base.
In that section, there would be some beasts that are farmed. Just like how Sam kept a spring fowl farm and the farm for rabbits and boars, there are some types of pigs and cow type beasts here that are reared.
These beasts are reared for the daily food consumption of the soldiers and Sam is here today to take that away.
The resources are one of the most important factors in the war and now Sam decided that he would take that away.
They can make sure that the soldiers can feed on the spiritual energy but how many days can they survive. They surely wouldn't be able to survive the whole period of the upcoming war.
Sam, then left the place and flew towards the southwestern star dukedom. The journey took a day and the same thing happened. Here the situation is even more severe because the elephant beasts that attacked them a month ago are still pretty pissed at humans and the forest is pretty volatile now.
Even the hunts are banned for the time being.
And now with Sam's intervention, there was hell all over again.
Two days later. The problem wasn't quelled at the city borders but the calamity struck them again at this moment.
The Arian empire declared the war against the Orion empire in the southwestern star and the southern star territory.
This made the dukes and the generals go pale with fear and red with anger at the same time.
Right now, it is the worst time for war. Their internal fights are already tough, to begin with, and now an external fight is coming.
On the second thought, everything was too coincidental, Sam's return the cities being attacked, and the war at the border.
A revelation struck them which they don't want to happen.
Literally, every high-level noble knows what kind of training Sam could provide. Sam's battalion could be ranked as the best battalion of all. But they weren't able to get the training procedure out of the battalion.
They were so resolved that they would rather die than reveal a single thing out.
Even after Sam was painted as a criminal, they still didn't give a shit about the rumors, they didn't even agree for a name change.
They are still Sam's battalion.
Sam didn't want to give up his training methods to them, no matter the money or rewards, because with Sam's wealth he can get whatever he wants, he can make billions in a month, so what is the point.
But if it was revenge, Sam might have given up the technique. After all, he is not a king or an emperor or any military personnel. He is more of a businessman than any of those before and the rewards from their government might not entice, but if the revenge towards Orion could entice him, what would happen?
Come to think of it, where did Sam go for a month? Why was there no news of him at all? Everywhere he went he proclaimed he was there, with a declaration that SAM WAS HERE.
He made it so as if he didn't give a rat's ass about the whole empire, then why would he disappear for a month without a word. Was he that passive? In a war between him and the empire, the empire was always the passive one. He made sure it is so.
The emperor is still unable to deal with the damage Sam had done and they are researching the ways to undo the damage done to all the resource points.
Now, Sam came back and there is an extremely high possibility that he is helping the Arian. This is going to be a nightmare.
The news of the war went to the Imperial capital quickly and there is also news about how Sam came back.
When he heard that Sam was missing a month ago, he felt that Sam might have escaped since the protection was increased in the rest of the Dukedoms.
Now, after a month, Sam came and was followed by wars.
What Vickers said might have become true at this rate.
He didn't think that he would be right, but it happened. He thought, that why would an emperor of Arian make a deal with Sam? Why would he lower himself to a brat's level? He wouldn't do so, that is why he presumed that the Arian Emperor wouldn't do so as well.
That is normal because people do tend to judge others based on their own standards.
