Chapter 357: Sam Wakes Up (1/2)
Sam picked up his communication token and called his friend's communication channel.
”Hey guys, I don't how you guys got me here, but great job. Someone please, get me a meal from Mackey. I am starving.”
The trio was overjoyed when they heard his voice and Watt who is on the silver-wind and on his way to the tower turned back and went to Mackey's restaurant to get some food.
He packed every available dish there at the moment and rode back to the tower.
When they reached the tower, Sam is inside the shower and he didn't come out for over an hour.
He came out refreshed and Watt served him the meal on the table.
For some time no one spoke. They left Sam to eat as they saw him devour dish after dish.
After more than half an hour, his meal was finally over.
He finally looked at his friends, who are eagerly waiting for him to finish the meal, and said.
”What's up, guys? I am sorry. I was really starving.”
They hugged each other and after some small talk, they finally got to the point.
”How long have I been out for? How did you get me here?”
”You have been out four more than two months, you should have been down for one more month. Sirona laid out a formation with your body and sped the process of you absorbing that black energy.”
”Sirona? Seems like you guys have met and the reunion between long last cousins seems a positive one. I am surprised she agreed to help me.”
”Well. actually, she is the one who wanted to help you. It seems like she has something to talk to you. She has been pestering me continuously. So, I decided to show her your condition and tell her to back off a little. But she said she can speed up the process and from looks of it, it worked.”
They talked about how the emperors smuggled them right under the noses of the six major powers.
The church, the war that is happening, and so on. After a while, Sam spoke.
”So, the four major underground forces which occupied four empires are the foundation of the church and by luck or coincidence, we destroyed the Black water here and along with the establishment of the network, they are not able to work their magic in the empire.
That is completely unexpected.
Then are the guys who are falling down, are they part of the church as well?”
”I am coming there.
The church hasn't done anything to us until today. Today we got the latest battle report and that said two minor powers are gone under the church's control. But in one of the other minor powers, the church lost its footing.
No matter how we look at this it is not a good time to deal with us. We don't understand why they are sending the troops to us.” Philip explained.
”Wait, didn't you say that followers that you saw in the eastern continent are all Grand realm cultivators and higher? Why are they novice stage cultivators attacking us then? Shouldn't they be sending us the Grand realm cultivators?”
”Nope, they don't directly become Grand realm cultivators, they actually become Novices when they are converted and they would grow until they are Grand realm cultivators.”
”That means they are freshly converted followers.”
Sam thought for some time and felt like something is off. Even he wouldn't concentrate on an empire in the corner when he has to fight against the six major powers and waste his soldiers who are the ones that are dragging the war.
He suddenly has thought and asked.
”How long does it take for them to become Grand realm cultivators from Novice cultivators?”
”Fifteen days or more.”
After some more silence. Sam suddenly said.
”I think, the war would reach its final stages in the fifteen days.”
”What do you mean?”
”If I were that Old one, there could be only one reason for me to send the newly converted followers here. Since he is fighting it out with the major powers, he needs all the manpower he can get, but the Novice level fighters are not much use against a major power.
Because they use Grand realm cultivators as normal soldiers.
Now that he occupied two minor power, there would be an influx of newly created followers and for him to use them, he needs at least fifteen days.
