Chapter 1719: Attack
Chapter 1719: Attack
Sam and Vice went back to the base.
After some time, the remaining subordinates came back after finishing their tasks at hand to take a break.
Sam was left alone while the rest listened to what Vice had to say about what Sam did. They were all equally shocked. But Sam noticed that they were also extremely proud for some reason. It is almost as if they are content that their leader is that powerful.
They also seemed genuinely happy, that their leader, who is a cripple and should have already been on verge of despair not only fine but also stayed just as powerful if not more.
He could understand it easily because their intentions and thoughts are so pure.
Sam suddenly missed his friends. He sighed and muttered.
"You might have had a bad pick at the rest of your traitor members, but the ones that stayed loyal to you are one of a kind. You are one lucky guy." He doesn't know if Brice could hear these words, but Sam just felt like saying it to the original owner of the body.
That night went uneventfully.
The group didn't encounter any people and they are slowly encroaching into the territories of other clans. They are doing it so discreetly, but they are expanding at a steady and stable pace.
By third day morning, Sam already has quite a number of beasts at his disposal which reduced the disparity he had in the number of his subordinates. Beasts that listen to his orders perfectly without a sign of disobedience.
One must say, this is a better deal than having to face a bunch of spies and traitors in the team.
The next morning. Right at dawn, the team once again moved out. Everything went normal until noon, but from then, Sam noticed that people trespassed their occupied territory at more than one point.
From three different directions, people entered his territory. One is of course the west. After last night's incident, Sam would be surprised if the other player didn't retaliate.
And he is very sure that the other player is actually Noah. In his opinion, there is no way she would just sit back and think that long.
Last night, Sam didn't leave a single witness and the whole area just looked like it was charred. Noah would have been thinking about what might have happened and would have sent someone to investigate. But from the looks of it, only one person came.
At least according to the formation.
As for the other two directions, two scout teams came one from each. They didn't come at the same time though.
When he calculated the timing, Sam understood one thing. They tailed the subordinates who were slowly setting up the formations. And they didn't even close in on him as it would alert them.
Sam doesn't know what they had done in that area. But his formations are undisturbed. He would know if they were messed with. And they would have informed him if there was another formation set up at that place.
None of these two things happened, which means, they just came and went.
This also means he has to be prepared. These people will slowly come and attack him.
And out of three, the place he was worried about most is actually the west.
The direction from which Noah would be coming. All the players might be skilled. But when it comes to wit and intellect, he definitely believed that Noah trumped the rest of the players.
She can read people, strategize and understand the loopholes and traps better than most. And he is sure that she might have already guessed that it is Sam that's in Brice's body. It is not even that difficult to guess.
Brice is the most disadvantageous of all. It is only natural for Sam to be placed inside him by the way this game is being biased against him.
And the person that came from that side, is also most likely Noah. In this case, just by looking at his formation set up, she would know that Sam is here.
Even though he understood that he doesn't know how she will react. He knows for sure that if it is Donner or Arkiv, they will try to avoid fighting him. If it is Akhil, he would just go straight ahead and fight with Sam. Kumar will be kind of neutral. He will try to analyze the situation and see if he can even stand against Sam.
If he feels like he can, then he will make a move.
So, in the current scenario, even he might not attack Sam until he learns the true might of their formations.
Dayus is also predictable. Once he confirms Sam's location, he will try to do a full-force attack to defeat him. And just like the previous time, if he is once again blessed with extra perks, then there is no way he would stop.
But Noah, it is a bit difficult for Sam to predict. He doesn't know how she will react, particularly when she lost so many people in just one night.
He has to be ready for all the possibilities, the only problem is, with Noah, he couldn't know all of the possibilities, no matter how much he tried.
All he can do is prepare as much as he can.
Whilst making those preparations, the only thing Sam is actually glad about is the spy soldier that they caught.
He is pretty sure that it is Kumar's camp the soldier is from. And if he is right about Kumar's capabilities, then he must have understood that there are too many spies in the camp.
And if that is not enough, the spy that Sam sent actually managed to set up all the fabric he was given as part of the tents.
Exactly, just like Sam had asked him to.
He did that as soon as he reached the camp. Even though Sam was happy with those actions, he is still a bit worried that the fabric won't stay in place for long enough time. But by now, it is good enough and he decided that it is about time, he made use of that.
So, that afternoon, after he made some formation arrangements, he gathered his subordinates.
"We are going to stop expanding for now. We spread into every other territory more than just a bit. We even showed some of our prowess to one of them.
Now, it is time for us to be a bit more aggressive. Let's make some big moves. This is the third day. And by the end of this day, I want a territory of one of the other young masters completely under my control."
"What is the plan captain?"
Vice asked with a serious face. All four of them are paying complete attention.
"Of course, we are starting with the spot that we currently have an active spy on. It's the easiest one out of them all. And the set up he made will be greatly beneficial to us.
And in the first step of taking that place over, I want you guys to do something for me."
"Anything you say, Captain."
"Good, I want you guys to attack their camp with the help of some beasts. Take four bird-type beasts that we have under our control and attack the tents there. And do it with these."
Sam took out four spears. They are very normal. As normal as they could get. There are no inscriptions whatsoever. Then he took out four pieces of cloth and tied them to the shafts of the spears. Now they became flags.
"I am sure you guys know how to throw a spear right?"
"Yes, boss."
"Leave the main ten and the other medium tents. I want you guys to attack the sub tents of his soldiers. The four sub-tents are on the outer perimeter of the camp. Throw the spears with the flashiest moves you can and make sure they land on the tents. They have to pierce through the tent fabrics no matter what.
You understand?"
"Yes, Boss."
The four people took off on the birds immediately.
Sam looked at them and smiled.
"Sorry, Kumar. You have to take this brunt. No hard feelings."
Within a few minutes, the birds cruised through the air as they made their way to the other side of the valley. They arrived above the camp.
There are a lot of tents set up. It is much more vast than Sam's camp. Troops are overflowing. The only problem is that a lot of them are spies working for others. With Kumar's level, he would have noticed that a long ago and might have been trying to find a way around it.
But too bad, he cannot do that now.
Vice and the rest of the team locked onto the tents and got ready to throw the spears.
*SWOOSH*
The spears whistled through the air and they landed on the tents without much effort. Of course, while doing that the four of them already revealed their locations, but they didn't care much. They just threw the spears and left.
