Kumar came out of his tent as he looked at the four birds flying high in the sky. They cast a very large shadow on them.
Even though the people put on the watch saw them, they didn’t report it.
Of course, he knew why that happened. They didn’t want to accidentally help their young master in any way. He cursed the spies and the owner of the original body for being so oblivious. Now he is in jeopardy because of that guy’s careless nature and lack of awareness.
He should have been a bit more observant.
As these thoughts ran through his mind, the four tents exploded.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Four simultaneous explosions rocked the surrounding area. The explosions are also not normal, even the slightest bit. After the initial energy release, there is a small energy storm at each tent and they stayed like that for minutes as they attacked the surrounding members at random.
The soil in the surroundings and the vegetation started getting affected by different elemental energies.
Fire, ice, metal, and wind.
Four energy storms created energy corrosion in all the objects in the surroundings. As soon as he sensed the energy creeping out, Kumar instantly understood who did it.
“Fuck you, Sam. Do you have to do me in like this?” He muttered to himself and yelled out.
“Get the fuck away from those areas. Don’t get in contact with those surroundings for a while. You will get yourself killed if you are careless.”
For the first time ever, the soldiers heeded his orders without thinking about how to double-cross him from the side.
When the explosion happened, the team members are already far away and the flashy explosions were clearly visible from far away.
If there are any external scouts within the vicinity of Kumar’s territory, they would have noticed it and the damage caused by it.
Every one of these scouts immediately left and reported it to their bosses,
As for the ones who caused it, they went bank with the news of their successful attack.
“Okay now, just sit back and relax. Stay alert to face the upcoming chaos.”
“Are we going to wait now? I thought we are going to double down and complete the attack.” Vice was surprised and asked his doubts.
“No need for us to do that. Let the actions play out naturally. We will attack when it is actually needed and more effective. Currently, if we weaken them too much, some other people might benefit from that more than us.”
“Okay, Captain. We will wait.”
“Great. Also, if you like any of these beasts, pick and try to get to know them. Try to make friends with them without using any contracts whatsoever. If you are lucky enough, you will get a good companion.”
Everyone became excited.
“Really? Captain, these beasts are pretty strong and powerful. Are you really going to give them up like that?”
“Well, I am giving them to you guys. Not to some random people. Keep them and they will increase your combat strength. It is going to keep you safe.
Be on your top shape by the way. And stay safe. As I told you, I don’t care if you mess up a little bit, but you are not going to die no matter what you say. You understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
They all went to prepare for what’s to come.
Meanwhile, the news already reached the other young masters, which means other players.
And the first one to react to this is actually Noah.
She is obviously the young mistress that is currently on the west side of Sam’s territory. As soon as she got the news, she came out of her tent while giving orders to the now second in command.
“Prepare your forces. Go on complete defensive, but be ready to launch an attack any moment I tell you to. Await my orders.
I am leaving to meet someone and I will be back by an evening at the latest. If I don’t make it, move to that direction and attack that territory.”
She pointed in the direction she was heading, the direction where Kumar’s base is. She got on the bird-type beast and flew off.
Within a few minutes, she is already at the other end. She got off the bird. As soon as the scouts noticed her presence, they notified Kumar this time around. But when he found out who is coming, he gave orders not to intercept.
Even though this surprised them, when she landed casually and started a friendly conversation with Kumar, they were surprised even more.
“Didn’t think you would be coming this time. The situation is not really good. I hate it.” Kumar said in a frustrated tone.
“Well, from the looks of it, you are going to have a big problem. Seems like Sam pulled a fast one over you too.”
“Does that mean, you also tasted some of his meds?”
“Of course, I did. He killed twenty of my men. All of them are elite, and one of them is my most capable deputy. He would have been a great asset in holding the territory down.”
“So, Sam is dealt with disadvantageous cards again, but he is still screwing us like this? I can’t believe that guy. Does he have anything normal about him?”
“Can we not talk about that now? That only makes my head hurt. That is the question that’s bothering me for decades.
Anyway, there must be a reason for Sam to make the flashy attack. My best guess is that he is trying to make you a bit weak and is announcing it to the rest of the territories. He wants other players to attack you.”
“He could have just attacked me himself, right?
Those spears he let his subordinates throw are not ordinary. They are extremely potent. And I lost dozens of people for just four of them.
Even I will have to struggle like hell to defend against one since I have most of my useful abilities locked up.”
“He doesn’t stop, does he? I wonder what kind of ability did he get to do that much damage in such a short amount of time.
By the way, did I mention to you that the place where he killed my subordinates is actually one-third deep into my own territory?”
“He occupied that much into your territory? One-fifth of mine showed traces of some formations, but I don’t know how deep is he. The situation is pretty rough.”
“Well, right now your base is the target. And from my guess, Dayus and Akhil are going to react. Dayus in particular. He will understand that Sam did this better than anyone of us. He will easily get the direction from where Sam attacked.
There is no way he won’t be taking advantage of this and with the deep-rooted festering grudge that asshole holds against Sam, I am pretty sure he will come here first thinking that Sam is going to attack your base once again.
He is smart and stupid at the same time. Akhil will just join in for fun.
Arkiv who would have figured this whole thing will come here to join hands with Sam and get a share of some land to land the second place.
The only one who might be sitting on the side is the good old Donner.
So, what do you think we should do?”
“Can you stop fucking showing off your fucking brain for once? I know that I am dumb. But you don’t have to remind me of that all the time.”
Kumar sat down and took out a jar of wine for her. Noah sat beside him and took a sip.
“So, what is your plan?” She asked once again
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that question? You should be here with a plan already. Right?”
“Let’s team up. Like always. I will get my forces to come down here and we can combine, set up the defense, and fight back at all of them.”
“It won’t be enough time for us to do that. And most of my camp is full of spies and snitches. They won’t listen to my orders, whatsoever. I am not that strong on top of it. All I got is the stupid and insignificant spear skill this clan has.
It is just half-decent at best. I could have bested this skill when I was sixteen years old back on Desolate. This is fucking insane, to say the least.”
“What the fuck are you whining about now? I bet Sam didn’t get a single combat skill and from what I know about the information from the clan, he didn’t even have a proper crew. Hell, he didn’t even have legs.
And look at what he did. He fucking demolished half of your camp and made you whine like a little boy. I love you, but trust me, dude, you need to learn a lot from that asshole.”
“Whatever.” Kumar sulked as he grabbed the wine jar from her.
