Chapter 180: Marching towards the Border (2/2)

As he issued this command, all the soldiers moved in a systematic manner in seven files. Each company has seven files having seven soldiers each led by a company commander in the front.

Each company has a certain distance distinguishing themselves.

As the battalion started marching, Sam floated over on the Harbinger as he held the map and observing the route.

As the group is large, the transportation is a bit difficult as it would be quite difficult to rear the beasts to do this, Sam is thinking if he should make trucks to make some money off of it. He can even cut down in the speed part and all the requirements would only be the space and mobility. It just has to cut this journey of one month to ten days and they would gladly buy them.

But he needs a lot of materials and production process. He has a plan to settle down for a bit after this competition is over and open a factory to make his products in the empire and make some big bucks.

Before that, smaller business to earn enough money is good. Out of all titles he had Sam treasured his identity as a creator, that is why he obtained his artisan badge first as it is one closest to the creator's title.

And what does a creator need the most, his creations to be used for most appropriate purpose and be appreciated for their cause. If he can obtain money from satisfying this need, that is the best-case scenario.

So, for now he has to deal with this competition and then he can concentrate on the business.

The journey to the border town will take around twenty-seven days on foot. Even the remaining regiments are dispatching their troops to the respective camps. After these regiments moved to the camp only then would the existing border military will return to the main base.

But out of all troops, Sam's battalion made quite a scene as the five hundred soldiers moving an orderly manner is not something the people would see often. Their formation and the intimidating movements along with the uniforms and the uniform sound of footsteps in sync made people sweat from a far.

This all looked magnificent to the people as they watched the army passed by. Soon, the news spread. A special battalion marched in a formation towards the border town and their commander is floating over them.

The most surprised of all were the Duke and General Spark.

They didn't think that Sam would be able to train a battalion strong enough to deal with the enemy's troop.

That is the reason they dropped all kinds of people they don't want to deal with in Sam's battalion, simply put it is a battalion made of cannon fodder.

But the reality slapped them in the face in the hardest way possible.

As per the agreement they shouldn't copy Sam's training methods but that didn't stop them from observing them.

When the battalion of soldiers are kicking up a fuss by challenging the soldiers left and right, they finally understood that the situation is not exactly what they imagined.

Then only they started observing Sam's training.

All of his methods are unconventional. Particularly the drill training didn't even make any sense at all.

The rest of the training methods didn't seem that special even if they are unconventional.

But the results are saying otherwise. The squad battles are one of things that they hated the most. Because no squad in the army is a match for a squad from Sam's battalion.

At first, they at least have some wins, but after a few days, there are no wins to speak of and the worst part is, Sam's squad used only most basic of the moves and all the squad members didn't even attack at all.

This made the Duke regret the bet he made.

The main aim is that Sam has to die in this battle and if he does, then they would not have anything to worry about.

Even if Sam isn't dead, if he is defeated, he can make use of that point and pressure Sam is dissolving this grudge.

For the past few months, Jim is lying in the bed without any treatment. The Pharmaceutical tower head didn't even bother to listen to Duke and the latter doesn't have any right to pressure him. So, all they can do is hope that Sam lost or better died.

But the soldiers seemed to be quite well trained and a force to be reckoned with. This made things complicated and now he can only wish one thing and that is the army sent by enemy Duke is quite formidable and they can wipe the floor with Sam's battalion.
