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.
Sam does have some time to make extra preparations.
He started scouting the forest to find some high-grade trees. The Vegetation of this area is extremely good and Sam could spend all the time he has on chopping wood and he would still take at least a year to destroy the forests of the dwarven territory.
Sam decided to make another defensive machine since the number of troops increased by a lot and he is using some high-grade wood for the job.
He came up with a new design and gave it to the artisans and the wood element users to create the new machine.
The design is not exactly complicated, but it has too many components. So, the dwarves had to work day and night to finish it.
Their target is to make twenty of them and while they are doing that, Sam started laying some inscriptions all over the town.
He even took out some of the leftover Indigo water to deal with this situation. At first, he didn't want to use the inscriptions or the personal resources.
Because dwarves are not good with the first one, he is not okay with using the second.
But now it is more than that. This might be the biggest war he participated in, in a while. The only war that could come close is the war with Usaine sect.
The war with rubrum and even the Union sect didn't interest him this much. He would like to see what these Wights can do that these Vampires cannot. He decided on one thing, that he wouldn't let this town go no matter what.
So, he took out his resources and started using the Inscriptions.
The preparations were going on in full scale.
Sam and his friends are extremely busy.
After two weeks, the situation finally came.
Sam stood on a pillar that was constructed in the middle of the water ring. He saw the wight for the first time.
They are all white. Their skin is white and it has a crystalline hue with their frosty blue eyes.
They looked like they are made of ice.
When they saw Sam from far away, they also halted in their tracks and looked at him.
Sam could even see the smirk on the face of the person who seemed to be the leader.
They walked into their gigantic tent.
Sam took off on harbinger and went back to the town head mansion. He looked at Watt who is preparing the troops and sent all the residents back to the bunker and gave an order.
"Prepare the new machines. Put them in their position. Wait for them to attack first."
Sam sat in his chair once again and looked at the crystal table. The area covered by the crystal table increased and currently it also covered the enemy troops.
He looked at the troops that are changing into battle formations. He looked at the Orcs, the Ghouls, the Vampires, and finally, Wights sitting in the tent discussing something. He couldn't hear what they are saying, but they would hear what he wants.
He placed his finger on their images and transmitted a message.
"How long should I wait? Come forward and I can put an end to this.
I am sick of your corpses disturbing my vacation."
Everyone in the tent shivered at these words. Not because of the content of the words, but rather the calm and boring voice that directly transmitted the message to them. This made them feel afraid.
Sam who is in the town not only gave a message to them and did so in a relaxed manner and here they are trying their best and bashing their heads to think of ways to deal with him.
By now, they understood from the Minotaur's account of the situation that Sam is the one behind all their troubles.
This made them have a seed of second thoughts in their heads. They don't know much about Sam and that is why they are taking an approach that would allow them to bombard with superior numbers.
But even now, that person is so relaxed that he could provoke them. This is made them rethink what they are going against.
