Chapter 672: Provocation (1/2)
Another week passed.
In this week, the next batch of vampires really came. They seemed to have paid an extra price to come here that fast. But they did come and Sam finished his Vampire set with sixteen members.
As for the rest, he just killed them off.
They are all elites of the Vampire race and they seemed to have high positions.
And Sam's current haul is not just the Vampires, he also got something else. The bats these people are riding are one of the high-grade beasts and he got around ten of them.
As for the other thing, they are the Undying Volcanic stones. The stones from the Catapults. He got a great deal of them. Every vampire has a Volcanic stone with them and he collected around twenty of them.
He still didn't figure out a way to put them to good enough use. But they will definitely come in handy as soon as he finished it.
Now, all he is waiting for is the Wights to come.
Once they came, he would finish this up. From what he knew the Wights are the ones on top of the pyramid regarding this operation.
They are the ones leading this and the Vampires and Ghouls are only co-lead.
Along with this, due to the victory, the current situation changed and they finally started getting some information from the City of the Council.
All this while, the reason for the information obstruction was due to the troops of the Minotaur. The Vampires tried their best to limit the information.
And the information transfer happens through the bird-type beasts. They are similar to Silver Pigeons and the Four Eyed Ravens, but a lot slower.
Now that the Vampires are gone, the Minotaur troops outside are sitting ducks. Sam's friend occasionally went into their troops to get some sparring done with the Pre-transcendent Minotaurs in these two weeks.
Now that these two weeks are passed, Sam is currently discussing his next plan with his friends. The Vampires didn't feel any remorse when they spilled information about Wights. They got so much info on a personal level, Sam has thought of so many ways to deal with them.
But what took place is one of the least expected scenarios. The wights didn't come to the town, Sam was in. From what they got through the info, the first place they went is to the town that was already sacked and they seemed to be doing something there.
After two days, there is another piece of information stating that the MInotaurs in that town are all coming out along with the Vampires and they are marching towards Sam's current position. The whole town became devoid of Minotaur and Vampires. Only some humans remained along with the wights.
The Wights just didn't stop there. For the next ten days, the news came about what Wights are doing non-stop. They sacked the remaining two towns like they are nothing. They killed every dwarf they could get their hands on and the dwarves that escaped sent the message to the City of the Council from which Sam got the news.
They are not stopping the information circulation now. The Wights doesn't seem to care.
From all the info Sam gathered, there are around twenty wights that came into the field and they divided into small teams to do things.
By the time it was two weeks since they entered the field, they made a lot of changes.
They sacked the remaining three towns and sent all the vampires and Minotaurs from that town towards Sam's position.
They started rallying the remaining troops from the Minotaur territory. All this while, most of the Minotaurs that participated in the war are male, but now even the female minotaurs are being rallied and they are all marching to Sam's position.
The troops outside of the town which Sam is protecting kept on increasing day by day.
The dwarves that just got a little upper hand and felt relieved when they defeated and pushed the forces back are panicking.
Except for the situation at the City of the Council and Sam's town, the rest of the places are all under the control of Minotaurs and orcs.
These changes didn't stop there.
The orcs and ghouls are also moving towards Sam's town. From what Sam knew of the current war situation, the City of the Council is not a place where the Initial stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivators can join the battle.
The middle-stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivators are nothing but normal soldiers. And the battle there is not about quantity. So, the wights are concentrating on Sam's town as they cannot change the situation at the City of the Council by much even if they participated.
So, they are targeting the next tough nut and trying to fight with Sam by rallying as many troops as they came.
When Sam got the news. He estimated that the Wights will be done by another two weeks to completely get the troops. The Orcs and the Ghouls will take a longer time to get here.
It has already been four months and it would four and a half months before the final battle starts.
