Chapter 668: Situation changed (1/2)
Sam looked at the whole scene coldly. He even looked a little bored looking at the people who are clearly stumped at the first obstacle he placed.
He has prepared many other things for them.
In the past two months, Sam mostly made use of the stream and dug so many underground lines for water to flow through the whole town, and installed several new toys all over.
Most of them don't use the inscriptions and formations, rather they are dangerous because of the mechanism itself within them.
The mechanism is operated by the spirits and they are all connected to the crystal table.
Sam used the water stream to the extreme. He and Chatur both came up with this design. Sam is responsible for activating anything that is connected to the spiritual energy and Chatur is mostly in charge of moving throughout the city and attacking them after they breached the first barrier.
Sam did make some formations that are suitable for his teammates to fight with, but they are not integrated with the surroundings, they are something that Sam wouldn't leave in this place nor sell to the dwarves.
They are personally crafted for his teammates so that they could use it when they are facing multiple enemies.
He used some of the tricks he learned while making his scale gadget in these formations. They are extremely helpful when fighting multiple enemies and got surrounded by them.
But from the looks of it, his preparations might have been overkill.
These people couldn't even cross the first obstacle, much less test the rest of the town defenses.
But soon, the deadlock was cracked as they used some undead humans to cross the line.
They used the flying beasts and sent some people to the other side trying their best to avoid the water jets at the same time, the undead jumped over to the thinner water jets and shielded with their bodies, creating a small interval. The Minotaurs jumped over them in this interval and crossed the water.
They just used other undead as meat shields as they defended against the water jets shot from houses on either side.
The water jets that are being shot from the houses are loaded with Hydra poison.
Sam placed a vial of poison in the guns that are creating these jets mixing the poison with it.
Minotaurs who are wearing full body armor of decent quality are also unable to completely escape the brunt of the corrosiveness of the water.
The attacks continued. And every house has at least one water jet based on its size and some have two.
But that is not all. When they tried to void the jets by going into some blind spots of those jets, something came up from the side and latched on their backs.
That is one of the shadows of Sam.
They took posts in different places along with the rest of Sam's beasts.
Even shadow mice are doing their jobs here. Sam felt like he is really working too hard for the dwarves' sake and only wished that he would be able to get something worthwhile in return.
The shadow just didn't attack the Minotaur. It used a syringe to directly stab into the nape of the Minotaur making him take in the poison and then placed a disc that latched on the body of the Minotaur.
A black glow appeared on the Minotaur while he writhed in pain.
Soon, the Minotaur fell. But as soon as it did, the body once again moved. It turned into undead and the Minotaur undead attacked its own companions.
The shadow that disappeared earlier once again returned. It took advantage of the Minotaur that is under attack and injected another shot to him and placed another disc on his body.
Another undead.
Another disruption.
The enemy troops soon fell into chaos.
They are painfully paying a price to cross the first obstacle but they are unable to escape the chaos completely.
The only thing they have is numbers. But the problem with those numbers is that they are not intelligent. They are dumb and ferocious. They wouldn't be able to take it lying down when they are being attacked.
They did just that.
At this moment, white-colored insects came out from hiding.
They flew towards the fighting Minotaurs and started biting them off sucking their life force and spiritual energy.
The three routes are already being blocked.
