Chapter 250: Thunder Prison and Mechanisms (1/2)

Sam is on a repetitive process now. On the Level 6 beast, moving from one dukedom to another is only a day's worth of journey.

In every Dukedom, his first target is a resource point and his second target is the Dukedom capital, luring the beasts towards the city and then again the third target is the remaining resource points.

He took over fifteen days in a single Dukedom and he is making great progress.

In next month. The western star and the Northwestern star are in trouble. Emperor is fuming mad because in every border that Sam attacked there is a declaration of war from the Arian empire.

He can invade on the remaining borders if he wants to, but the main problem is the resource scarcity.

For every major resource that gets eliminated, there will be more stress on other fronts. So, he cannot take the initiative.

He is clearly regretting not sending a Marshall, a Pre-transcendent to attack Sam when he escaped at the first time.

He didn't think Sam as much, even when he dealt with the Blaze city and Herb Village, he didn't think much of him, only after he dealt with the metal mines in the Southwestern star and the Vickers' message did he understand the threat he is facing.

Never did he meet a cultivator who would use his brain to this extent.

In this world, where one's power derived his authority, politics are of little use, unless there are peers with equal strength to vie for that power.

He didn't expect Sam at his level can cause this much damage to him.

But now it was too late. Since the war started he had to make preparations and has to keep his Marshalls by his side, so he sent the six swords of Sword Marshalls to deal with Sam.

And all of them are on Level 6 beasts.

But when they reached the Northern Dukedom, which could quite possibly be Sam's next target, they didn't find any traces. Some of the patrolled the skies all day long to see Sam and the started looking near the forests of the Dukedom.

But before they could manage, there was an attack at the Eastern Star, which was completely unexpected of Sam.

Now, only three dukedoms remained. They wanted to make sure that they find Sam and emperor deployed all the possible Nascent cultivators who are under the city guard command to pursue Sam.

They didn't know that it was a lost cause for them. Because Sam didn't bother attacking the remaining three Dukedoms.

In forty- five days, he dealt with three Dukedoms and revisited two old dukedoms. In total, he damaged the natural resources and the food resource of the five Dukedoms which are more than half of the Dukedoms of the empire.

Now, it is about time, he takes a back seat and relaxes for a bit. Because, even with the resources of three dukedoms, it would be a great stretch to sustain the war. The Arian already had an upper hand and they are maintaining a slow-paced war with minimal attacks.

When the empire in this state, what is thunder god temple doing?

This is the same question Sam had for Emperor Arian.

”They don't care. All they need is the tax according to the territory we have. Based on the land and the resources we have. Whether we are a single empire of two empires, it is completely same to them. As long as we pay taxes they don't really care.”

This is the answer he got from Arian.

Sam wasn't completely surprised by this. After all, by the strength of the thunder god temple's standards, the people here are really not that powerful and neither these resources are also not that great.

Simply put, the conditions in the thunder god temple are too god for producing low-level products, so they are using these vassal empires to be those providers.

This is that simple.

So, now that Sam is clear from his Duty, he can take some rest and plan for the final show-down he planned in the future.

He crossed the border sneakily and went into Arian Base camp near the western star.

This place is where Emperor Arian is currently staying, so this is the safest place for Sam for now.

While the war was going on, he started his closed-door research.

First thing in his list is the Thunder Prison.

The treasure he got from the Palace. And according to the Avatar, this is the most versatile and if used well, most useful weapon.

Sam is now inside the Divine dimension, while Watt, Philip and Jack are sitting together in the tent.

With the crystal in the centre.

He held the thunder prison in its unused condition is like a small cage meant for a single pet parrot.
