Chapter 252: Preparations (2/2)
He is completely frustrated. He was an emperor for more than two decades and all the time, his life was extremely great, there was nothing he has to do except waiting for the taxes and riches, the only people he has to bow down are the people from the Thunder god temple.
But all of a sudden, all the problems came to him at the same time.
In an instant, his life became a living hell from heaven.
He didn't know how to deal with the situation.
He didn't think for once in his life that this day would come. All he knew that being an emperor will make him feel respected and make him the greatest person of the empire, but now, he was being tested.
Even before this, all the wars are small he was never needed to go to the border, now he was being pressured by the ministers and the Marshalls too.
And all of this was caused by Sam. He was cursing all the eighteen generations of Sam and is doing it so with all his heart.
While the Emperor is cursing, Sam just came out of the tower, it was a month since he entered the tower, which means he stayed more than three hundred days inside the tower.
He only came out occasionally when the emperor wanted to meet him.
Other than that, he was completely busy.
His latest invention was ready.
This is the most expensive and most complicated thing he has ever created since he entered this world.
And this thing used the Level 7 beast's feces.
The first thing he did was obviously, create a Level 7 methane. Although some properties are different from the methane he created by the cattle type beasts, it still works and this methane has a high calorific value.
It burns with the same intensity as the fire of a Peak stage Nascent and that too if it was in its free state.
Things will be different if it is properly compressed. With the increase in pressure and using the gas as a jet, the intensity increased by many times.
After the methane is obtained, he used his wind element to compress the gas which gave him a high-intensity flame, which would give him the heat required to melt at least a low-grade, rank 7 material.
So, he started making things one by one. He created the biggest mold he created in this life and he used the deeper regions of the ice element zone in the tower as the molding material.
He dug out the shape he wanted and poured the molten metal inside.
The only advantage inside is the movement of objects within the dimension can be completed just with his will.
Otherwise, this wouldn't even be finished.
He worked on this for more than three hundred days.
After everything is completed Sam came out.
After listening to the battle status, he knew that it was about time that the commanders and Generals entered the battle.
The frontlines are already under Arian's control, at least in the battle between Novice soldiers.
It is about time; the next phase begins.
After discussing somethings with the emperor, Sam and his friends went back to their tent and discussed their plan.
The new invention Sam made requires multiple users. Four people are needed for it to join and it will be using a lot of power.
Sam has done a lot of hard work on it and it could be considered as the second most destructive invention he ever made.
After he made preparations for the training, so they could cooperate better, they trained for a whole day before coming out again.
Philip went to get that day's battle reports and the next deployments.
When Jack saw the body count, he stayed still for a few seconds and asked.
”Why do these people have to die in this war? Wouldn't it be over, if the emperors fight and the one who wins takes the other empire?”
Sam chuckled at the question and said.
”The meaning of war is not just about the comparison of the might of two parties.
It is also a test for an emperor's ability. The emperor who invades has to prove that he has capabilities to lead them through this war and the emperor who decides has to prove that he can protect them.
Apart from that, it is also a baptism for the citizens. The soldiers who are essentially part of the citizens have to go through this and this will cause the people to feel that this empire is truly theirs, they would get the feeling that they truly belong to the empire and they have some contribution in the position their empire will be in.
It is necessary to have these requirements met if you want to have a stable empire.
If the emperor doesn't lead them and just take over the empire by defeating the other emperor, all they would think is that it was an act of tyranny.
So, war is not a choice that one could make, it is a necessity.”
