Chapter 466: Fleet (1/2)

Days passed slowly with the people on the top of the world full of tension and the common people without a single ounce of knowledge of these tensions.

Sam came back to the city and became busy in his own preparations for the future.

While Philip and Sirona are planning their own things. Arkiv is still in the Usaine sect.

Everyone is immersed in their own tasks and Sam has left the task of recruiting the personnel from the remaining empires of the Usaine sect to Arkiv and Austin.

Arkiv finished this task and went back to the sect.

Coincidentally after their activities are over, the first serious and significant battle between the Usaine sect and the three associations took place in the central continent grounds.

To everyone's surprise, although Usaine sect is the one responsible for the first blow after the war started, this attack was launched by the associations and the troops are formed by the combined soldiers from the three associations.

This battle took place in one of the resource providers of the Usaine sect. It is a mine that provides a type of metal that is mostly used for making formation discs and formation flags.

This is a significant resource point in the war considering the production activities will increase as both sides are proficient in the formation making.

In the war and after the war, this place is of high value for both parties.

Even though the associations wanted to launch a completely surprising attack, the sect members reacted fast enough to avoid a massacre.

And the battle became a nasty dog fight for all the cultivators to tear each other apart.

The battle involved more than three thousand cultivators from both sides combined and this led to the continuous chain reactions of revenge attacks and schemes, ambushes, and sneak attacks on camps.

Any region belonging to both the territories in the central continent is in chaos.

And the middle of this chaos a troop of artisan association appeared out of nowhere in one of the islands of the Usaine sect and took over silently. There the Usaine sect suffered a severe loss. A loss so bad that not a single soldier survived to even carry the news back.

Even the activities of the people went without any obstructions. Nobody knew who took over the island, but they did quite a number on that.

This place is one of the islands with active volcanoes and the artisans of the Usaine sect used this place for their weapon production as the fire control and recovery, even assistance from the lava of the volcanoes is extremely beneficial for them.

But now it is gone.

By the time, the Usaine learned about this, they surprisingly lost the first resource point too.

To everyone's surprise, the Usaine sect lost the first two big battles in the war.

No one, even Sam didn't expect this.

Then only he understood that the associations are stronger than he imagined. He was now thinking about whether he should get involved in the war or not.

While he is contemplating like that, some other news popped out and that is three small islands near the central continent which are the beast farms of the Inscription association were captured by the Usaine sect and the two mines of the artisan association are captured.

Not only that, the next day another news came out and that is when the three associations wanted to capture another mine of the Usaine sect, they fell into a trap and more than half of their troops in their regions are done for.

Apart from that, troops of the formation association and Usaine sect engaged in naval warfare.

All of this is happening because both Usaine sect and the three associations are too close to each other.

Sam really wanted to pull the strings and make it more chaotic; he is extremely tempted to do so. But he has to wait because there would be some form of trouble after this war is over and he is waiting for that. This could happen in the next two months by the end of the year and that is the war being stopped in the middle and the Usaine sect possibly aiming at Sam after realizing their stupidity due to the blood-shed.

If that doesn't happen, he has other plans. He took out some more blueprints and gave them to the production team.

There are new types of ships and one of them is a major project they are going to do. For that eighty percent of the production team is going to work and even the students from various departments could take part it in and most of the work is going to be done outside because it is definitely a multiple-person project, not a single-person project.

Except for the parts that could be manufactured on his production unit, everything is going to be made by others.

This is going to be a full-fledged naval fleet. Except for the aircraft carrier and the submarines, everything will be there and there is some kind of formational combinations in it.

When designing the first ship, Sam got more problems in designing the moving mechanism. It would use the water jets controlled by the water element users to move. And there are backup engines too which are actually steam engines.

The ship would definitely work with the steam engines but it wouldn't be as fast.

Now that the motion of the ship is completed and the backup engine design is also done, Sam doesn't need to worry about the rest.
