Chapter 543: Vanity (1/2)

After the recovery, Sam marched forward to the forest along with the troops, and later, he crossed the forest and went to the city gates that are a kilometer away from the forest.

He only stopped until he reached the city lord's office.

He successfully took over the city and he kept on sending the pigeons until the next day night and the last message has only one line.

”It is hard to maintain the city with just the soldiers.”

Back in the military camp when they heard the news and watched the reports that were sent to them, they became ecstatic.

Sam really did the impossible.

This battlefield always ends up in a draw. Both sides could win and both sides didn't want to risk the lives of so many people and would order retreat sooner or later. This was the situation for many years.

There will always be one or two battles that any could win, but no party could take over the other party's city.

But Sam did it and did it with a thousand soldiers.

It was almost like a dream.

In two days, the people who are supposed to take over the city and maintain the operations came and they learned that Sam has let go of the citizens who didn't want to stay in the city.

They are a bit frustrated and angry at this, but still, they took over the city silently and let and Sam and his soldiers return to the base.

When he came back, Sam went to the General's tent directly and gave the battle report and along with that a list of gains and the losses in this small war.

And the second list doesn't have much. Even though there is a lot of push back and retaliation, there is minimum damage done to them.

It is so minute to the point that it is almost impossible to believe.

The gains however outweighed the losses by a large margin that is because the gains contained the city and the fields and mine along with it.

He looked at the General and said.

”Half the credits to me and the other half distributed among all the other soldiers that participated in the war.

I need the details of the family members of the soldiers who died in the battle. I think I did more than you wanted. For the next batch of the blood mutants unless they dropped from the sky right in the middle of the camp. Even then, the soldiers will be victorious and they will still be able to kill them all, but the losses would be more.

So, I would like to leave the battle-field.

”Go where?”

”To the capital. Once the war is over I would like to get my rewards there. A who conquered a city that has never been breached might be qualified enough for a meet with the emperor, no?”

”You want to meet the emperor? Why?”

”No specific reason, but don't you think it would be great to take a reward from the emperor. I always liked that, the strongest man in the region giving me reward for the favors I have done for him. Goodbye then.”

With those words, Sam left the tent and met with Yodha.

”I am going back, I hope the residence in the factory is ready.”

”They are ready. You can go anytime you want.”

”Call for me, if you need anything. But I think their battle strategy is extremely dependent on the mutants, so there is no need for you to worry about the situation. Is there any place in the capital I can relax?”

”There is actually. There is an entertainment center of a friend of mine.”

”An entertainment center.”

”Well, it is complicated, but maybe you will find something there that can make you relax, they offer a good massage, you can try it. Go and ask Rana. My friend knows he works for us, you would get the VIP treatment.”

With that, he took out a thin crystal card and gave it to Sam.
