Chapter 465: Plans
Sam went back to the city after discussing everything with Arkiv.
Later Arkiv directly went to the artisan tower of the Imperial capital and met with the tower head to talk to him for a long time, after that he kept on visiting the remaining three tower heads for the next few days.
After a few days, for some reason, the tower heads all called their employees in the different regions to come to the imperial capital through their special communication which will allow them to communicate through the cities.
They dismissed the low-level employees and the low-ranked artisans with no potential for any form of growth whatsoever and could only perform miscellaneous tasks. Then the rest of the professionals started moving towards the imperial capital.
As for the professionals who are related to the Usaine sect, they are already taken away by the three associations in the beginning and Usaine sect head sent them to take some pressure off of his shoulders. Now it directly bit him in the back.
All these movements are done extremely discreetly because all the other personnel and officers under the direct control of the Usaine sect are all moving towards the imperial capital in a rush too and those who are already a part of the imperial capital actually left to the Usaine sect.
All these people are currently summoned by the Usaine sect in the preparations for the war. This time, the Usaine sect head fully lost it.
The three associations simply pushed things too far and they lost some of their inner sect disciples and the core disciples for no reason.
In this frenzy, he didn't even think about investigating who truly caused the disturbance with parks.
Even the major powers and the three associations didn't care for the cause of the problem. Of course, it is not like they wouldn't bother with it at all, but it will take some time and some beatings in the war and a lot of blood to realize and think about what really happened.
These people who are at the top have this weird mindset, where they will feel like whatever they say goes and they would think that everything about them is too big and too great.
So, they wouldn't tolerate being oppressed and pushed around. That is why they went mad and are starting a war.
Now Arsin almost became defenseless because of his actions and Sam can have as many plans as he can.
The first thing he is going to do is rob the nation of its talent and skill. That is what he used Arkiv for.
He just wanted to gather all the professionals who are part of the associations. The Pharmaceutical association is gone and the towers of the empire are almost working on their empirical hierarchy.
As for the Herb faction re-establishing it, it would be taking a lot of time and money and before the park's issue is fully settled, they wouldn't harbor any thoughts and doing so.
The three associations' time is already done for on this planet.
At least that is what Sam thought, the remaining major powers will surely devour the three associations after this war even if the associations won.
The major powers already recognized how much influence the associations have on the people, and if the parks are successfully established and the influence of the associations grew, then things would be even more disadvantageous for them. If the association heads once again tried to do the same thing as Old One, there will be troubles.
But they didn't want to lose a cash cow like the park.
What Sam did, not only created a small crack in their current partnership but also gave them an opportunity.
There is a great chance that the associations would be destroyed, even if they didn't, then there is an extremely high chance that they would be turned into ruins and rubble. They could devour the remaining slowly.
As for the parks, Sam is still there, right? At least that is what they thought.
But what they don't know is that Sam is the one making these things happen. He is making the Usaine sect and Associations enemies and he is making the war happened.
The ending of the year couldn't be more eventful.
There are still two months left of this year and the war started to happen.
The Usaine sect is the one taking the initiative to make the move and they decided to attack. But they didn't directly attack the people in the empires. After all, they would make good subordinates.
Indeed, because, they make good subordinates and Sam completely agreed with the thoughts of the Sect head, he stole them.
That is where Arkiv helped a lot.
With Arkiv's identity as a core disciple of the sect, there is a lot of sway to his words and all he did was make some lies and truths. The truths are that the association will be completely destroyed and even if it survived the war, it would be devoured.
But the lies are that the sect has decided to execute all these people without a worry after the war is over and Arkiv is feeling bad about losing these people and he is also thinking of leaving the sect, so they should escape.
But where could they escape to? And that is where Sam comes in.
Arkiv will help gather all of them in the imperial capital discreetly and Sam would definitely convince them to join him and recruit them.
This would make his tasks easier. There would be four new Pre-transcendent stage cultivators in his organization. At this moment, there is only one person who broke through and if he counted the people under Arc, then he would have at most four Pre-transcendent stage cultivators under him.
But with these four, it would be good enough for him for the moment.
As for the nascent stage cultivators, they will also increase. But currently, the Nascent stage cultivators within the organization are trying hard to make a breakthrough.
They suddenly had access to a large number of pills and potions that could aid their cultivation. Sam is confident that when he tackled a major power, he would certainly have enough Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.
He went back to the Arsin empire once again and met with the gathered professionals.
And after three hours of discussion, everyone slowly agreed to join, because Sam brought someone to convince them and that is Austin.
He has seen the most growth in the whole organization since the start of school. He is the best person to show these guys what they are being offered and more than three hundred artisans who came from the associations directly and another two hundred artisans who climbed the ranks are slowly transported to Sam's city discreetly.
The numbers of the other three professions are not too small compared to this one and they temporarily stayed within the imperial capital until their turn came to enter the city as he sent them in batches.
Meanwhile, Sirona and Philip are dealing with other things.
These two months, while Sam would be busy with scouting, recruiting, and producing, these two have another job.
The war wouldn't be finished in a day or two. At least, these two months would be their best time. And the best situation is the actual battles didn't start, there are only some clashes between people of lower level on the central continent.
So, these two months, the empires will not much concentration on them. That is why, both of them took it upon themselves to rob as much of Arsin as they can, so Sam only kept his plans for recruiting and left the rest for these two.
Now they are touring the mines of the Arsin I the next two months.
They only have one thought in their minds, to rob every single ore that was mined in the next two months and if any reservoirs that could possibly exist in the empire.
Sam went back and stayed in the city. For now, there is nothing much he could do.
Everything was handed to his subordinates and even Arman is busy with something within the thunder god temple.
He is concentrating on beating the crap out of Arthur every chance he could get and apart from that, he is busy winning over the elders and other important figures that can influence the position of the future heir.
The future heir of the thunder god temple is select differently than the Beast faction.
They have many things to consider and there are many factors that play in the decision. And one of them happened to be birth.
If all the factors playing to be the future heir are accounted for a hundred points, then the birth alone has thirty points.
Arman doesn't have a noble birth in the thunder god temple while Arthur is the son of the thunder god temple head himself.
There is too huge of a disparity with Arthur having thirty points and Arman only having one point.
