Chapter 190: End of Military Phase
General and the Duke were stunned, then they immediately called for a soldier and verified the information on Sam's battalion and after seeing the hundred soldiers from the Dragon Hawk tribe they understood the situation.
This is one of the dirty secrets of their military. Holding a tribe hostage in the name of giving them 'refugee' and then using their men in the form of meat shields and the cannon fodder.
Even though, they are not extremely proud of it, they don't want to lose this opportunity at all, when they found the tribe and the worst thing is that the tribe only has a population of around three thousand people excluding the five hundred people who are in the army.
Now they understood what happened. The Dragon Hawk tribe members might have requested Sam's assistance.
General immediately agreed without much thought and informed the regiment commander who kept the Dragon Hawk tribe members in a city near the border to send them here as fast as possible.
Luckily, they are not that far away from the southern star city, it will only take four days on the Level three beasts.
Even though, the southern star didn't have many beasts that can carry them all over, they used the beasts of the nearby area Marquis to send them over. All of them cannot be brought over at the same time, but they will be arrived within the two weeks.
After three days, every candidate has returned and there was an assembly conducted. There was no announcement of the points, only about them changing to the business phase.
But the individuals know the points themselves. Points although given to an individual they can be transferred from one another within a team.
Their team identity tokens which consisted of their team numbers on them were the storage units of the points. If they want to transfer the points, there is an exchange point inside the camp where the teammates can transfer the points within themselves.
But this is only open for this day and it will be closed until the second phase is over.
As every team was divided into two, the military points are calculated for the two teams separately. The first team will be sharing the points themselves and the second team will also be doing so and after the two phases ended the two teams can share the points if they want to.
But not many people are willing to share the points, after all at the end of the day it is every man for himself and every one wants to win. So, the more points the better chances.
Sam transferred two hundred points each to Drew and Hawk. This is compensation for the plight they suffered because of him.
He decided to share some points with Philip and the rest too as he was the reason general targeted them.
Hawk and Drew have around one hundred points they gained themselves which is not that great.
The top ten are all well above five hundred and the first place is for a member of Nicholas' team with nine hundred points.
That was truly a great achievement.
Now with three hundred points they are in the middle or else they are close to bottom thirty people.
But when they looked at points of Sam, they didn't even know how to react, the top ranker was with nine hundred points and this is the news that was circulating among all of them. But Sam's points are way head of nine hundred. They calmed down and decided that it would be better to keep mum.
Now their military time was over, they have to start their business phase.
As for the current business phase members, their points are not yet shared. Their profits are only evaluated but were still not converted to points because the evaluators took the situation of some businesses blooming a little late in comparison to others.
So, they only evaluated on the capital and profits for this phase so that they could judge the latter half better based on this point.
Sam has met with Philip and the rest briefly. But he didn't explain much, all he learnt was that their profits are only hundred percent of their investment and that includes the losses they suffered earlier.
Sam didn't really care. He has big plans for this time around and this might stir something in the whole Dukedom if succeeded.
He entered the estate and inspected the huge pit of land. The land is 1000 acres wide but the only thing is the whole land is a bit depressed when compared to the rest of the city. But with over that large area it is not much of a draw back and the main thing is now the impact crystal is completely cleared.
Watt and Sam hovered over the land as they examined it. Most of the land is even because the earth element users from his battalion came over here to practice on their moulding abilities here and at the same time, they took it up on themselves to make it levelled.
Now, it can be used for construction directly without much work.
After absorbing the land, Sam said to Watt.
"We have to go to the Artisan tower and hire all the architecture artisans, this time the project is going to be big and the investment is quite huge and I want everything to go without any hiccups.
And also, from tomorrow there will be some people from the Dragon Hawk tribesman coming to the estate. Talk to them and arrange their accommodation in the city book as many inns as possible there will be around three thousand people.
Apart from that, buy a house for us, a normal house would do, it is for temporary stay only."
He paused for a while and said.
"Beat up Zeke every time you see. Day or night doesn't matter every time you see him make him lose a bomb to recover but don't cripple him or hit critically. By the end of these eight months, he should pee on himself every time he sees you.
As for Blue fire, as long as he stays put don't do anything to him, but if he talks even a little bit beat him up too.
Let Mackey and the rest close the restaurant in a few days. At most they have a month time and tell them that whatever money they make in this month is their completely."
After giving some instructions, Sam and Watt floated over the city and visited the Artisan tower. The whole city is looking at the familiar and still fascinating floating duo as they moved.
Sam met with Artisan ford and asked him to visit the estate and said that there would be a big project.
And after ford visited, Sam explained everything he wanted in the land in detail. Artisan ford was completely dumbfounded and confirmed every thing Sam needed more than twice before calming down.
"Sam this project costs a lot, more than one hundred fifty million. Are you sure?" He asked for a final time and Sam confirmed again and said that it is what he wanted.
"It will take a month to finish this. I will use all the architecture artisans at my disposal to do this."
After making the deal, Watt went to secure the inn reservations and buy a house for them.
Sam visited the battalion once and talked to Marian about the arrival of their tribesman and also passed a book.
"This is a new and exclusive battle technique for your tribesman and it can be used by both elemental users. Do not pass it to anyone and even if you did, they will only be suffering some serious backlash. But make sure that you keep this a secret.
If anyone asks, all you have to say is that your tribe has this technique for generations but it has some problems which made it impossible to cultivate and then after you met me, I some how decoded them that and made it possible to cultivate."
As Sam said those words, Marian was looking at the title on the cover. "Dragon Hawk Claw" That is the name of the technique written on it.
He kneeled down in front of Sam and said. "Sir, I cannot thank you enough. You have already done more than enough by giving our tribesman a helping hand. And with this technique I don't even know how to express my gratitude. All I can say is if you want anything from me in future, I will do it even if you want my life I will surrender willingly."
Sam pulled him up and didn't say anything. He just patted his shoulder with a smile and left the place.
He has many things to do to make this project a success and he needs to find many people to cooperate.
But the first meeting is not with any of them, he has to meet the Duke. That guy already sent someone to send him an invite to visit him as soon as the military points are allocated.
