Noah left Kumar’s camp after explaining her plan to her.
On her way back to the cam, she took out something like a flare gun and shot it even higher into the sky.
The soldiers at her base saw the orange-colored explosion in the sky. They immediately made their move without a second of delay and marched in the direction of Kumar’s base.
The other camps also saw this, but of course, they didn’t know what it is. But what they knew is that some of them are marching to Kumar’s base.
Just like how Noah explained the situation to Kumar, the other players reacted. They reacted just like he portrayed them.
Dayus believed that Sam would be attacking that base and he managed to convince the leader to send a single unit. But this unit contained both him and the leader. The best part of that unit is before Noah could even meet her own troops, Dayus made his way toward his camp with the troops.
Kumar was caught off guard.
An even more surprising thing is, Donner who was thought to stay on the sidelines actually made his move. He came with his troops almost the same time as Dayus was here.
But he didn’t attack, he just stayed there as if he is really a spectator.
Kumar looked at the troops and didn’t know what to do. His soldiers are not his soldiers. Every one of them is looking for a way to backstab him and is trying to gain as much from his defeat as possible.
And he could only think of one idea. He gathered all of his troops and made an announcement.
“Listen well, all of you.
I know you are not loyal to me. I know every one of you belongs to a different faction in the clan.
To be honest, I don’t fucking care who you serve. I don’t care who you want to be loyal to. But for the next three days, you will be fighting my war. You need to work with me.
I want all of you to group yourselves into the factions that you originally belong to and work together to fight.
Whatever group that has the highest kills and contributions to this war, I will surrender to the original master of that group. I will give up control over my troops, I will be the right-hand man of that master. I will support them in the conquest of the clan leader position.
If you know me, you know what my word is worth. I know I am not a competent leader or a commander. I never wanted to be one. Except for my position in the clan kept on forcing me to try.
But now, I understand that I am not suitable and I am no longer fighting for it. I want you guys to fight for me now so that I don’t die here and our clan doesn’t lose the property of this land. So, if you don’t fight with me and for me now, we will lose the valley and our resources.
If you do fight, one of your masters will get to claim this land as a piece of their legacy.
If you don’t do that. For the first time ever, I will abandon the battlefield and leave. I will go back to the clan and assassinate each and every master of yours.
You do know that I am more than capable of that with my prowess. And when I do that, I will be the only person left for the position of successor.
I will win that race.
So, if you want me out of there, fight for me here.”
Kumar’s second-in-command was stunned by his words. He didn’t know that something like this would be Kumar’s decision. It didn’t sit well with the original body’s owner. But they are reckless and straightforward which goes well with the owner’s actions.
All the spies were stunned.
They didn’t expect Kumar to call him out on them. But they knew very well, the original owner of the body is a reckless madman that sticks to whatever the fuck he says.
So, they have to make a quick decision whether to trust him or not.
While they are doing that, Dayus didn’t wait for their decision and just attacks.
He let the troops go and made them attack different areas.
Meanwhile, the spy boy that helped Sam found a way to get out of the camp. He headed directly to Sam’s camp, to pass on the information he got from Kumar and the current situation.
“Sir, this is the situation, we are being attacked from the two fronts and the young master has given this twisted order. What do you think is going to happen now?”
“Well, whatever happens, doesn’t matter. No matter what course of action takes place there, it will end up in my favor. All I have to do is wait for the evening and I will be having the rest of the territories served on a complicated but very decorated platter.
And I will enjoy feasting on it.
I suggest you stay here and if possible you can try and get some of your people into coming here and stay safe. You can witness how I pick this valley apart.”
Sam replied with a smile and went back into his tent. He felt a bit relieved when he saw his plans are going smoothly.
But of course, not all the people who knew of his plans are feeling the same. There are some people in particular, that are not exactly people that are displeased about this. The Gods.
All the gods are as usual spectating the whole thing unfold.
Zeus in particular observed this over and over. Not even leaving a single second of it out.
“This Idiotic bastard. I have given him every advantage there is. But he is still unable to do anything against this Sam. Why did I even pick up this guy as my player? I should have gone for a different realm.”
He slammed his hands on the table as he looked at the visuals of Dayus mindlessly leading his troops to attack just like Sam wanted. This is the most idiotic thing he can do right now.
He did everything in his power to give every advantage to Dayus while creating every obstacle for Sam. He cannot just stand the fact, that all of those efforts are wasted.
There is no way, he could let that happen. He believed wholeheartedly that if Sam is left behind with no badges this time too, he will not be able to catch up at all.
He will be left behind with a massive blow to his progress. But his player doesn’t seem to be capable of letting that happen at this moment.
He cursed himself openly as he thought of a way to rectify it. Even if he has to pay a higher price, he needs to leave Sam behind. He needs to make sure that Sam loses in this round, even at the risk of some backlash from other gods.
As he thought to this point, he disappeared from his spot.
He reappeared at Hel’s place once again and asked.
“I need you to let Dayus know of Sam’s plan. He cannot just fall for this.”
“What do you mean? Do you want to intercept in the middle of the game to help your player cheat? That is madness. The other gods will haunt me for millennia. I am not doing that. That piece from the chariot you gave me is nowhere near enough and no other price would give me enough incentive to do that.”
“I want you to do this and you are doing it. How about a day in Hades? Will that satisfy you?”
“What did you say?”
“You heard me. I will make Hades let you into his territory. For one day, you will have full access. How about that?”
“You are going to give that up, just to teach a young man a lesson? Just to win a petty game designed by gods to satiate their boredom caused by their immortality? Do you understand, how ridiculous this idea is?”
“You just have to do what I tell you to.”
“I don’t know if the trade-off is worth it.”
“Make it two days. Anything more than that will be impossible. So, do what I tell you to now. Or you will lose this offer. And when Gambler comes to you to get an answer for the past help you have given me, I will not stand by you.”
“Really? You are going with that? Those threats won’t work that well on me.
I will do it for three days. Three days in Hades, with full access.”
“Done. Arrange my communication now.”
“It will take some time. I will see you in an hour.”
“You better not delay it more than that. I need you to keep your word.”
With that he left.
