Chapter 517: Using the formation (1/2)

Sam moved on to the next group and later the next one.

All he did was bait them with shadows of the Nagas. He didn't form any form of contract with the Naga shadows, he just summoned them. It would take at most the energy of a nascent stage cultivator's attack to summon them.

Since the contract is not here, he can do whatever he wants.

So, at every position, after he found any Nagas, he would summon the shadow and insert a grenade inside before leaving the shadow near another group.

It is as if Sam is on a lucky streak, as the next five groups clearly pressed the grenades without exception, at least they are little clever than the rest as only a single person would press the grenade a little farther than the group, but it is still useful to restrict the movements of half the group easily.

Only the trick didn't work for the next group, apparently, they understood that something is wrong with the shadows and the gift those shadows left and they didn't dare press it or store it all they could do is carry it carefully towards the base of the camp.

When two more groups did the same, Sam didn't try to make repeat the same thing, he followed a group and reached the temporary base camp of this battalion. This is the camp for half of the soldiers in the battalion while the remaining half will be merged with the remaining troops.

The battalion commander is issuing commands through various communication tokens as he got the information.

There are still around a hundred soldiers waiting in the base. They seemed to be the final group that is trying to struggle.

At this moment, the commander is giving orders for the rest of the groups to retreat. The deputy was extremely puzzled over this and asked.

”Sir, if we retreat now then there would be a huge problem for us in the base, we wouldn't escape scot-free.”

”Who said we are completely retreating? We are regrouping here to greet our guest.”

The commander said with a smile.

Deputy grew alert and vigilant, but the commander continued before he could speak.

”The groups are already spread all over the forest, they are spread in such a way that they wouldn't miss almost any zone of the forests. Last ten minutes, they are in the same position and they have also spread apart without being a complete group.

Do you think, our guest would let go of such a chance to hunt prey one by one? Of course not, but there is not a single life gone.

That means, there is only one place he could be and that is the vicinities of the camp.

Now go and activate the formations. We will greet our guest in the grandest scale.”

The deputy looked at his boss with confusion and doubt, he doesn't think that a single guy would be brazen enough to come to their command center, it would be a death wish.

But he still followed orders.

Sam is watching the tents and the soldiers from a tree.

The battalion commander is even sitting in the open, a red-scaled Naga with a blood-colored hue. The color shades are a bit discernable although faintly. He sat in the open in the middle of all tents with a table in front of him.

There are many communication tokens placed on them and there is a layout of the forest that placed on that large table.

He pinned some red-colored flags on the map as if he is trying to mark some places.

Sam doesn't know what he is doing, neither does he know that his opponent has guessed his existence in this place.

He is busy scanning the whole camp with his eye technique, he wants to see if he can do anything by taking advantage of the layout.

As he thought of what to do, he suddenly felt the energy flow changing and all of a sudden a large formation activation has happened.

At this moment, he saw there is a smaller formation that has appeared on the table of the commander. The energy flow of the larger one and the smaller one are extremely similar.

He immediately understood what this is. This is remote formation control. This is an advanced method of controlling large formations with a similar but smaller formation.

It is mostly used in battles at least that is the most popular use.

When Sam looked at the commander's expression, he knew that his location might have been exposed and he also noticed that all the soldiers are being called back.

He increased the energy in the eye technique and zoomed in to look at the remote formation.

There are many red dots around and there is one blue dot on it and many red dots are entering the circle far behind the blue dot.
