There are three spots that Sam is targeting at the moment and all three of them have some critical nodes for many formations of the Divine Formation Mountain.
And all three of these spots are way too far away from one another. So, if something really bad happens to them all at the same time, there is not enough manpower with enough knowledge to deal with it.
So, the young masters who are in the main mansion trying to witness all of the chaos Sam is about to bring will have to make a move whether they want to or not.
He will force them to come and deal with the situation.
As if on cue, as soon as he thought to this point the puppets started attacking the nodes. Along with that, the special traps Sam set up were completely activated.
The trap he set up is actually very small but it worked really well. He used the energy pellets and compressed them into a very small space. Now with just a single tap on the crystal table. They unlocked themselves and spread into the surroundings.
The surrounding area which is acting as a node was affected by this. The energy of the pellets spread rapidly and since the nodes themselves are conducting a lot of energy at a very rapid but fluid pace, so the spread of the energy was quicker and swifter.
The formation started fluctuating once again. But this time the fluctuations are the way too severe. Within no time large energy lines of various elements started spreading on different corners of the formations.
The Night members who were already dealing with the puppets barely noticed this and sent the news to the main mansion.
When the three disciples heard of this, they couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. The energy pellets, made a cracker with them and helped Sivan launch an attack at the Gaja clan.
Now, the first thing that Sam did when he started attacking them is to use the same pellets they used in the cracker.
The only problem is that the formations are not exactly vital for the Gaja clan. Even though they reduced a lot of casualties and efforts, the Gaja clan’s main force is still its powerhouse. On the other hand, for the Divine Formation Mountain, the main force is the formations.
They don’t have loyal manpower, they don’t have hundreds of foot soldiers, and all they have are the formations that do the jobs that men should have normally done in a clan or an organization.
They are responsible for security, scouting, patrolling, healing, guarding, and even making sure that there is no major imbalance in the ecosystem within the mountain range.
If the formations are gone, Divine Formation Mountain will lose a lot of resources that were spent on them as well as a lot more to rebuild them. Who knows what they might lose while trying to rebuild them?
They quickly came to a decision even before their master ordered them.
“We need to get out there and fix the nodes.”
“And this is definitely a fucking trap.”
“Of course, it is. Do you think we are the only ones who can lure him here with the traps? He can lure us out as well. You have been underestimating him too much for your own good.
But even if it is a trap, we have to go. We need to stabilize the formations as soon as possible. We need to make this as clean as we can.
Because of the attacks of Sam on our main subordinates, the rivals that are still coveting master’s reputation will definitely not let this chance go.”
With that, all three of them moved from the main mansion and spread to the three different directions.
Meanwhile, the Mountain Master is spectating all of this from his room. He looked at his three disciples moving out and the puppets attacking different places and even on top of that, the energy lines that appeared on the formations through the pellets.
He is watching all of this in a special formation on his table like he is watching a movie.
He is very relaxed despite the fact that his home is being attacked. It is almost like he didn’t believe that anything serious would happen to him.
Sam also just looked at what is happening and when he saw the three young masters finally make a move, he started controlling the puppets.
The puppets that targeted the Night members alone are now targeting the young masters, but they didn’t swarm them. Only a few puppets too the ones that are being passed by the young masters when they are moving are the only ones attacking them.
But that doesn’t mean, the young masters are fine. They have to fight these puppets off to make sure that they are not accidentally getting hurt by those energy beams. They will be a nuisance when they try to repair the formation nodes, so it is necessary to clear them as fast as they can.
They didn’t waste too much of their energy. They have a great number of trinkets in their hands and they seemed like they are breezing past the puppets without any effort.
Sam didn’t care though. He watched as the puppets fell off after being hit with various attacks. The Night members are also slowly getting used to it. All he did was just extend his hand once again and release even more puppets.
Dozens of puppets once again flew out and entered the battlefield.
After twenty minutes, the young masters almost simultaneously arrived at their destination.
Sam once again started controlling the puppets.
All the surrounding puppets moved and gathered above the young master as they created a large formation.
The elemental energies riled up in the sky and now the puppets did combination attacks on the young masters as they tried to identify the problem with the nodes.
They are not exactly proficient with removing the effects of the energy pellets. They might have made them before, but they never bothered to figure out a way to neutralize them. The only thing that made them feel confident in their impeccable energy control.
The Night members assisted the young masters in the battle as they tried to take on the puppets in formations while the young masters focused on the nodes.
All three places are appeared to be the same. Everything is going well as planned.
The young masters examined the nodes in the next fifteen minutes and figured out what the problem is, but they are not sure how long it will take for them to solve it.
They didn’t know if the Night members will be able to hold back.
“Call your backup members. It will take some time. Don’t conserve your manpower. Outnumber them and overpower them.”
Brother Silver ordered immediately and passed the order to the other areas too.
“You bloody coward. I want to see what you will do after we dealt with your puppets and your stupid trap.”
He muttered to himself as he started working on the node.
“They seemed to have identified the nodes already. The repair might not take long. Do you think we need to start now?”
“No hurries. Let them do the work. If they don’t even finish the repair as fast as I assumed they would do, I might have to change our plans. Even if they do it on time, I am pretty sure you guys can move fast enough to reach them.”
The trio just shrugged and stayed there. They are very eager to test out their new prowess of course, but there is no way they could just dive in without Sam’s permission. They could only wait and see.
Sam just kept on sending his puppets meanwhile to make sure the young masters are annoyed enough.
Soon all of the Night members arrived and they are defending the puppets making it easier for the young masters.
The young masters finally got to focus on the repair completely and when they did, they felt a sudden energy wave coming in from the surrounding area.
They noticed that the energy lines that are spreading across the formation are about to decompress and explode.
“Fucking hell. We need to work faster. Anybody got any ideas?”
Brother Black yelled into the communication token connected with his brothers.
“I have one, try using the master’s signature technique.”
“That? Are you sure that is going to work? It might work in a normal case, even if the energy lines appeared on a metal or even a person, but now, the energy in the nodes is too conductive and there is no natural resistance that could aid us.
We will be having a lot of trouble if we make the energy in nodes chaotic. Things would go sideways easily.”
“Don’t worry about it. You just need to combine it with the extreme manipulation.”
Brother Silver pitched in all of a sudden.
“Then we will be fucking exhausted.”
