The soldiers felt a bit embarrassed as soon as Sam said those words.
Some of them took deep breaths to calm themselves, some of them gritted their teeth and got ready, and some of them burned with excitement as they aimed the cannons.
Sam just calmly continued speaking.
“3

SHOOT.”
As soon as he said the word shoot, all the shooters pulled the triggers. The cannons launched spheres at the same time.
At every shooting spot, eight spheres came out at the same time and when they reached a certain height, one could see them forming a circle in the air.
The inscriptions are activated on the spheres before they emitted some strings made out of pure energy them.
The strings connected with one another. All eight of those spheres formed a circle. They just stayed in that circle at the same speed and started rotating.
As they moved toward the wolf, from within the circle formed an energy mesh. As soon as the sphere was near the wolf and they are about fall off, the energy mesh hit the wolf’s head, followed by its body.
The energy mesh went through the head and the body and within a fraction of that moment, the wolf’s body went through a massive change.
The sheer force of that energy mesh destroyed the metallic head and neck of the wolf by distorting every inch of it. It is almost like they were crushed by a massive mountain.
The neck fell off before the mesh moved to the body and this time since the size of the wolf’s body is bigger, it didn’t look like it was crushed by a single weight, rather it looked like a barbaric brute with infinite strength abused it with a sledgehammer in its weakest spots.
The whole wolf’s upper body was destroyed within a second. The eight spheres landed on the ground, but they didn’t explode. All of their energy was used in the mesh and they used all of that energy to destroy the wolf’s body.
All of the wolves were brought down just like this and all of them are down at the same time.
As the body of the wolf was destroyed, a large metallic cylinder fell from within it.
It was within the wolf’s body and it is the inner mechanism of the wolf that makes many of its functions possible.
The core mechanism was also a bit damaged because of the energy mesh, but it is not completely useless now. In fact, it is very useful.
“Now.”
Sam looked at Gail and said to him.
Gail took out his own communication device and contacted other Peak stage cultivators. Gamin, Yuvana and the Clan’s leader.
All of them moved out at the same time as they went for the mechanisms.
Sivan and the Divine league members who saw this felt extremely shocked. The wolves are powerful. In fact, they are very strong, but for them to just be destroyed at one proper shot of eight spheres is a bit anti-climatic and disappointing.
“They are indeed good, but they are this weak?” Avlyn blurted out of curiosity.
“Of course not. It is just that Sam might have pulled up another trick under his sleeve to deal with them like this.
That asshole is indeed the creator of these things.”
“So, you got his designs, but couldn’t obtain his intellect.”
Sivan didn’t reply to that.
He felt exhausted.
He watched as the peak stage cultivators came out of the city, took the core mechanisms and ran inside. He frowned at this.
“What are they doing?”
Avlyn asked once again.
“I don’t know exactly what they are doing, but from the looks of it, they are bringing back the core mechanism of the wolves. I think it is still intact.”
“What are they going to do with the core mechanisms?”
“I don’t know, but that destructive bastard made sure that it won’t be damaged completely when dealing with the wolves. Fuck, we need to stop them.”
Sivan said as he looked at Avlyn.
“Don’t look at me. I already sent half of my team to do your bidding just now. I highly doubt we will be able to take them on now.”
“If you are not going to attack them, what is the point of you being here?”
“It is to attack them, but not now. They need to be desperate enough and we cannot let the Gaja clan taste failure before the small fries are eliminated. In fact, I am glad that we are losing a bit.
This will make them cocky. Let them be cocky as much as they want. Then I can easily deal with them later.”
“Are you sure this would work? As far as I know, you are all just scared shitless of Gail.”
“We are here aren’t we?”
“Well, you were there when my father was present too. But none of your team members dared to say a single word. I highly doubt this is going to be any different.”
“You don’t have to doubt it. We are confident and we have a plan.”
“It better be good. Even though I lost a few rounds until now, I did manage to do some damage one way or the other. It would be embarrassing if you didn’t even produce any results.”
“Some damage? You barely scratched their surface. I am pretty sure, they still have many tricks up their sleeves.”
“Of course they do. But So do I.”
Sivan said as he looked into the horizon. One of the grand elder teams that left earlier came back running and he couldn’t help but smile.
“And soon, you will see my next attack. That would be a really great thing. You might want to let your teammates get ready. The peak stage cultivators might come outside with this and if things go well, they will be coming out with a lot of confusion and bewilderment. If you want, you can try your luck there.”
“Really? Let’s see then.”
As they are speaking, more and more teams are coming out.
After everyone came back Sivan went into his tent along with a formation master and both of them started working on something. They created a small formation on a table.
Meanwhile, back in the clan, Sam looked at the core mechanisms that are brought to him.
The core mechanism is mostly a cylindrical shape with some protrusions here and there on the surface. It is as big as a large suitcase.
Sam picked one of the mechanisms and started twisting some knobs and opening some screws. He dismantled the mechanism with relative ease and various parts of it soon occupied the space around him.
He lost himself in the zone as he looked at every part of it with a smile that is laced with glee.
“Not bad. This guy really has some good artisans at hand.”
He muttered as he finally came to one last box within the mechanism. He started opening it slowly and finally, he took out a foot-long cylindrical object from within it.
It has a transparent body made of empty spirit stone material and within that body, there is a very intricate mechanism that is made from very high-quality metal. Each part of the mechanism is filled with hundreds of inscriptions if not more.
The empty space within the mechanism is filled with liquid spiritual energy. If the mechanism is active, it would be constantly expended while the spiritual energy is constantly pumped from the rest of the mechanism.
On the two ends of the cylinder, there are two ports. One port connects the rest of the core mechanism to the mechanism of this small cylinder while the other port connects the output energy of this mechanism to the rest of the puppet.
This is the key component for the operation of this puppet. If this is even a bit faulty things will go crazy immediately.
Sam looked at the mechanism and smiled.
“What is that?”
“A new addition to our arsenal. This is one of the most intricate things that I ever designed until now. The puppet is just one of the uses it has. It is not complete yet and is very premature, but I am sure it will come in handy for us now.”
“Great, so, what are we going to do next?”
“Why hurry, let’s wait and see what the other party does. We are on the defensive, but we still have the upper hand. We don’t have to attack them directly.
They will lose their resources trying to wear us down.”
“If you think so. All this while we managed to counter them well with minimal losses. But I am sure even Sivan would be feeling a pinch by now.”
“He should be feeling it.”
As both of them were speaking, all of a sudden, the whole city turned extremely bright.
Sam who is sitting frowned as he looked around. He cannot see anything around him. It is so bright that not only his eyes are hurting, but even while he closed his eyes, he is still feeling the effect of this brightness.
