Chapter 539: First Transaction
After all the supervisors and commanders came to his tent and talked for a bit, Sam finally came outside, but this time, he came out as the deputy battalion commander.
The Mutants are still marching step by step. Very slowly. It is as if they want to make the Mov empire remember every step they took to conquer the city.
After marching a bit farther, there is a very small distance, a distance short enough for a battle between a few hundred soldiers.
They stationed there right in front of the doorstep.
But Sam seemed as if he didn't care. He sent all the commanders back to their own tents and visited some of the special divisions.
The soldiers who were so cocky before a few days didn't even dare to speak.
After that, he took the commanders of the earth elemental and lightning elemental divisions and a hundred soldiers from each division and led them deep inside the forest.
There are messages from Yodha for every fifteen minutes that the mutants are right in front of the camp and they have to hurry up.
But there is no response from Sam.
From what he saw till now, the mutants want to provoke. They want to deal with the soldiers, but not by attacking.
They clearly showed what they wanted to do. They wouldn't attack first until their patience ran out at least.
Sam would make it run thin.
After two hours of some practice at the practice grounds, Sam finally came with a hundred men behind his back.
Fifty of them are from the lightning element division and the rest are from the earth element division. He started walking towards the battlefield with them on both sides.
When the mutants saw it was Sam their patience and provocations are gone with the wind. He is the bane for their plans, he would make them rage like wild beasts.
There is only a small distance between them and him.
He smiled at them and stood there calmly.
"Take positions." As soon as the two words left his mouth, the soldiers in the back started moving.
All the earth element users and the lightning element users moved as the two groups merged and spread all over the place.
"Wall."
The earth element users squatted down and the earth elemental energy was completely surging all over.
The combined energy of all the fifty members is being used in such a way that all the ground covering them and the mutants was under the range of energy.
As the energy spread, all of a sudden, many earthen walls extruded from the ground as they surrounded the mutants.
The soil in the whole area of influence is completely in utter turmoil and it is growing more and more turbulent, even the soil under the feet of mutants is moving rapidly.
The mutants became vigilant and started attacking the walls, they threw attack after attack on the walls, but there was no use, the walls kept on increasing as if there is no end to them, one wall crumbled and another raised in its place.
Soon, the walls started having changed. There would be earthen spikes shot from the walls inside. Although the attacks are not strong, they are good enough for the distraction and some minimal damage.
"Sparks."
Sam commanded once again and a large roof of lightning appeared on the top of the walls. The mutants suddenly looked at the sky as they observed the concentrated lightning bolts that could hit them anytime. But the roof disappeared, due to the irregular sync between all the soldiers.
"Spark."
Sam commanded once again.
But this time, the roof stayed as the lightning energy gathered gradually.
All the mutants are trying their best to attack the lightning bolts, but that is good for nothing. They never expected that the earthen walls could be used this way.
There is no damage for them, except for a little delay, but this is frustrating. But no one would take this approach, after all a frustrated strong enemy is dangerous.
Two of the earth element users in the mutants used some hand signs and rammed them into the wall. They ran through all the walls and came out from the other side.
But what greeted them is a combination of the wind blade and the sword ray from Sam.
Even though they both came out of different sides, they got hit at the almost the same time.
Arman is standing beside him and Sam gave him a gesture. He dropped some grenades in the ground more than a hundred of them and went to deal with one of the two who made it out.
Meanwhile, the other person was allowed to come towards him without any obstacle, except for the soil of course.
As he made his way, what he didn't notice is that the grenades that were dropped on the ground disappeared inside the soil.
Sam raised his hand and silver lightning joined the lightning roof, the intensity of the lightning bolts increased.
As the earth element user finally came face to face with Sam as he was his nearest target.
Sam's body was full of lightning, the mutant looked at him and said.
"Lightning doesn't work on the earth."
Sam looked at him and said without any expression.
"But an explosion does."
With that, he stabbed his palm into the chest of the mutant. The edge of the palm has purple smoke all over when he did so and it left a large hole and a grey patch on the mutant's chest.
Before the other party could react, a grenade appeared in Sam's hand and he placed it in that hole and pressed the trigger before kicking him.
*BOOM*
The mutant exploded and at the same time…
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
A simultaneous chain of explosions occurred within the encirclement of the wall at the same time, the lightning bolts struck down on to the mutants, who are trying their best to fend off the explosion.
The earthen walls couldn't take the impact of the explosion and blasted into smithereens. The timely withdrawal of the elemental energy binding them only made the walls turn into dust not letting the explosion throw the earthen blocks at the fellow soldiers.
When the dust settled. Sam and Arman are the only ones standing there.
And as soon as he could see, Arman went to collect the bodies of the mutants, meanwhile, the special division soldiers who are sprawling on the ground due to exhaustion are trying to get up and see if they succeeded.
They wanted to cheer, there was a smile on their faces. There is not a single casualty.
Sam stood there like a pillar, there is not a single particle of dust on his black feather-coat. He made sure that everybody of the mutant was collected and said to the special division soldiers that slowly stood up.
"Wipe that smirks off your faces. Your still not wolves yet, you are still sheep trying to become wolves. Once you truly become the wolves and can fight on your own without me, then you can smirk all you want."
Sam turned around and walked back and the special division soldiers meekly followed.
After entering the camp, Sam went to the general's tent after dismissing the soldiers to their barracks. He didn't even say a word before submitting the battle report.
After he finished reporting all of it, he asked.
"This is what I can do is two hours. If you want more, you have to pay the price."
General stayed silent for a while and said.
"The four camps that are under attack from the blood mutants, I got the news that they are currently defending from inside the camp, they can at most hold on for a day.
I want you to clear them."
"I can do so, but what are willing to pay?"
"What do you want?"
"Beasts, I want beasts like Purple flame Zebras."
"What do you mean by like? Can you be specific?"
"I have a list."
Sam gave the list and there are names of horse type beasts in it. There are all kinds of elements, earth, ice, fire, lightning, dark, metal.
"No matter how rare they are, I want at least two pairs for each beast I mentioned and a total of two hundred beasts. The best way would be them being pairs. Half male and half female."
"Where do you want them delivered to?"
"Yodha's factory. The compound is really big, so they would definitely be able to find a place for them."
"All types of beasts wouldn't be able to survive there for a long time."
"Use these formation discs and they would." Sam passed a spatial ring and said.
"Why Yodha's factory?"
"Because it was my factory too. You might not know, it is my factory too.
By the way, I would like it if you guys are genuine and sincere this time, if something happens that betrays this alliance of ours, I will destroy the army and the city."
