Chapter 154: 1 Vs 500 (1/2)
Sam didn't say anything immediately and just looked at the Regiment commander as if he was thinking about it.
The Regiment commander thought that Sam was afraid and he started egging him.
”What now, Sam? Aren't you all powerful and claimed that the army is full of trash, why don't you prove it? If you don't then, get ready to face martial law.”
Sam took a deep breath and looked at the Regiment commander with an expression as if he was hesitating.
”I have two conditions.”
”What are they?” Regiment commander is quite sure that Sam is going to propose some impossible condition, so that he can back off without losing much face.
”I want ten times the wager, and my bet is ten million spirit stones.”
When the Regiment commander heard this, he confirmed his earlier theory of the conditions. After all, the 100 million spirit stones, is not a small amount and it is more than the annual budget of their regiment.
But he felt that since Sam is trying to back down, he should make it harder for him. He is quite confident that Sam is not going to take the fight.
”Deal, what is the next condition?” Regiment commander agreed. Sam gave a surprised expression and there is some panic flashed in his eyes, which made regiment commander happier.
Sam started looking around as if he is nervous and hesitating and his movements are rather exaggerated, but the regiment commander didn't feel so.
After a brief pause, Sam finally opened his mouth again.
”The second condition is lifting up the no killing restriction.”
When everyone heard these words, they were stunned for a second before thinking if Sa was crazy or pretending to be crazy.
Removing No killing restriction in this case will only make it worse for Sam in this situation.
Although, the soldiers felt shameful and humiliated, they are quite confident that Sam wouldn't last a minute against the battalion.
So, when they heard that Sam is asking for lifting the restriction on killing, they thought he went nuts and take a couple of them with him in a suicidal attack.
Even the Regiment commander thought the same way, but after some thought, he found a long-winded reason on why Sam would say that. And that would be Sam trying to use the no killing policy of the military to escape the predicament.
When they said the rules to Sam's batch, they didn't mention anything about killing and death duels. So, might be thinking that they don't have such arrangement and the military might not want to change the rules for a single fight.
Even though, the reason was long-winded, that was the only thing he could relate to the condition. Even the deputy General thought so.
Sam's nervous face only made him feel all the more so and the regiment commander didn't want to let go of this opportunity to put down Sam, he thought that situation is already in his favour and ready to put down Sam, in case he would try to pull some kind of stunt like this again.
”I agree.”
When Sam heard these words, his face was full of shock and nervousness. His expression was as if he didn't know what to do anymore. After some pause, Sam asked.
”Can I use all my weapons?”
The Regiment commander didn't even think much and just agreed. As far he was concerned, Sam is bound to back off, when the time really came to fight.
”As…assemble your team. But there shouldn't be any great realm cultivators. Sam stuttered and his gaze was all over the place.
This nervous wreck of him was making it obvious to them, that he is just trying to save his face and they thought that he might be thinking that someone would definitely not let this fight happen, since it is so unfair.
After more than ten minutes the battalion was assembled in a training ground. Sam stood in front of 500 people and looked at the Regiment commander nervously.
After seeing that the regiment commander was clearly content, he knew that his plan worked.
All of a sudden, his nervous expression was gone. He is back to his usual confident self was back. He looked at the Regiment commander with a smirk.
Regiment commander suddenly became tense, he had a feeling that he walked into a trap and actually, his guess was right.
Sam really did lay a trap. Otherwise, wouldn't he be letting them off too easily.
He went against a three hundred people alone without using all his weapons. Now, even though he has to go against five hundred people, he can use all his gadgets and he didn't even have to use all of them to deal with these guys.
Deputy General also observed the change and he also felt surprised but he didn't show it on his face, rather he waved his hand as he commenced the fight.
”Start.”
Sam immediately moved. But he didn't dive into the crowd, the soldiers are still a bit surprised that Sam hasn't backed down.
They are quite confident of it after all. With their expertise, it is quite difficult to notice the difference in Sam's demeanour in that small period of time.
Before they knew it, Sam is on the Harbinger, floating more than twenty feet in the air.
He smirked at the crowd and took out the Golden Crescent.
