Chapter 252: Preparations (1/2)

After checking the mechanisms and the thunder prison, the only thing left for Sam is to create something that can help him in the near future and for that, he has to use something the Arian Emperor gave him.

The feces of the fire type Level 7 beast.

When the emperor gave him the feces, he was still quite confused about how Sam would use something like this.

He passed the feces which are stored inside the spatial ring and asked.

”May I know what you are going to do with this? I am quite curious.”

Sam didn't reply and chuckled.

The Emperor might have even got the answer if he dumped all of this in a pit, but he stored it in a spatial ring as if it was a treasure, and judging from the size of the ring, it seemed to be quite a high grade one.

Sam just took the ring without answering and threw then inside the pit a large pit that was dug open by the ape.

After he closed the whole pit, he went on with designing something.

This time he started designing and simulating the designs on the second floor.

He has a lot to do and there is no way he is coming out anytime soon.

Meanwhile, the war started across all borders. The whole Orion is a restless state. Due to Sam's actions, there is an extremely high deficit in the resources. The taxes increased and the citizens have to pay with materials, herbs, beast corpses, or any other form if they don't have spirit stones.

It has already been two months since the beginning of the war and now they imposed the new war tax as an emergency measure.

Meanwhile, the artisans, the herb experts, mining experts, and so on are all trying to solve the problems that are caused by him.

They are trying to repair the lands and the mines. But the results are minimal. For metal mines, they know the problem, but they don't know how to solve it without affecting the mines.

For the Blaze city, they even know the solution but the results will be devastating and it would take a long time to clean up the mess.

For the Herb village, they weren't even able to figure out what the problem is. The lands just lost all vitality.

They tried doing many things like light elemental treatment and so on, but they weren't able to see any progress.

After all, even though, these people did research on the beasts, they didn't go so far as inspect and memorize the effects of the urine and excrements of the beasts.

They didn't know how to react to the situation and even the worst part is that some officials and nobility in the southern star are still infected by the plague.

Remembering the lesson from the General Spark, they stopped trying to use the light elemental energy and only tried to suppress the plague by themselves.

Some are not able to withstand the effects and succumbed to their fates, but some people are able to suppress but there is another problem awaiting them and that is their battle effectiveness has decreased sharply.

They have to suppress the whole plague inside their bodies while holding their feet against their enemies.

This made them feel totally frustrated.

But they are still okay because for now, there are only small probing attacks from the high-level cultivators.

Because of this, they have some time to either get rid of the problem or to adapt to the problem.

Time passed.

Three months after the war started.

The war till now was just a passive sluggish one. The battles are not totally intense.

But now, the newly trained battalions from the Arian empire started entering the battle and now the war became aggressive.

The scale completely tipped and they are dealing with the Orion is having a very hard time dealing with them.

They didn't know why there was so much difference all of a sudden.

But the southern star army knew this all too well. Because they saw these techniques and tricks before. They knew this way of fighting. They experienced this style of opponents.

This is the same as Sam's battalion.

They knew how efficient their methods are. Even though they can also do some of their attacks, they cannot get efficient usage and the adaptability just by copying.

The borders slowly started to shake and the balance was completely gone.

Orion is in the complete losing end. At least for the soldiers who are still in the Novice stage.

Orion commanders and the generals are starting to lose it. The worst part is that only the Marshalls are at the Borders, but the Emperor is still nowhere to be seen.

He is still in the imperial capital thinking over things. He is cursing Sam day in and out and he is just pushing the blame and responsibilities to the officials. When they tried to push him towards the responsibility, he only has one thing to say.

”I am the Emperor, if I have to do everything myself, why would I need you lot? You are being pathetic.”
