Chapter 674: Ambushes
The Wight commander let the troops bombard the town and after some time, he asked them to retreat.
He decided to use guerilla warfare and destroy the town bit by bit.
After everything calmed down and all the soldiers came back escaping the wooden bolt shooting range, he once again met with the rest of the Wights, Vampires, and Ghouls.
There is one question in everyone's mind.
"How can he use Undying Volcanic stones in the morning?"
This question is eating on their minds. It is already a big feat for a human or a dwarf to use the undying Volcanic stone, but using it in the morning is even impossible for them, much less a human or a dwarf. But to be able to use it and think of a better way to use it, they are feeling vexed.
They thought of many possibilities, and Wights obviously tried to shift the blame to vampires, but they didn't let this go. They insisted that it has nothing to do with them, after all, they cannot even use their own power much in the morning. Much less using it when betraying their own faction.
They knew for the fact that the wights are just trying to find a way out and pinned it on them on paranoia.
So, they didn't care much about this. They are also desperately trying their best to find a way out.
After some time, they decided on an attack pattern. The soldiers and the servants will attack in the morning and try to destroy the town bit by bit.
The Vampires, Wights, and Ghouls will attack in the night. Since their powers are mostly enhanced in darkness, they would attack at that time.
Currently, the sun is just setting and all of them started preparing.
At this moment, the Vampires, ghouls, and the Wights all combined, they are around fifty members. The Vampires are the shortest with only ten while the remaining two groups have twenty each.
First, they decided to send a group of five with two wights, two ghouls, and a Vampire into the town and target one of Sam's friends.
For that, the Wight commander used a small dark butterfly and let it fly into the town.
Nobody cared when a small butterfly appeared out of nowhere, they just let it be as this sight so common for them as numerous butterflies come to the town through the forest.
The butterfly made a trip through the town and went back to the Wight commander.
The commander came out of his tent and sent the team out. Out of the five people, the Vampires are most good at sneaking in.
But the darkness is their home ground, so they did find a way to break in and their first target happened to be one of Sam's companions.
It is actually Chatur who is currently checking the water lines of the town.
That is also the reason the Wight commander picked him as the target. He was seen the least when fighting even at the previous time and since he is checking the water lines, they thought he might be a crucial member in creating and controlling these water-based attacks.
They decided to take the risk.
At this moment, Chatur is currently near the stream entrance. He is checking the concentration of death energy within the formation.
While he is busying himself with the tasks to do, he waved his hand all of a sudden a small water bird dashed forward hitting a dark mass of energy.
He turned around and looked at the five people standing in front of him.
But his face didn't show any surprise or panic, he is as calm as he could be. This made the enemies surprised a bit.
This ambush is a bit important to them. This is like a trial run for their future operations.
But their opponent didn't show any fear of panic, he is actually extremely calm.
Chatur calmly looked at them and took out his brush.
He held the brush behind his back and looked at them coldly. The five of them exchanged glances and made their move.
Chatur didn't blink and just waved his brush, a row of weird patterns formed in the air, and a water dragon was created from those patterns as the dragon flew towards the incoming attackers.
It didn't stop with a single dragon. Chatur kept on swinging his brush as patterns kept on emerging in the air, creating water bullets, water spears, water dragons, all kinds of water attacks, and tried his best to attack them.
But he was still overwhelmed by the five of them and soon received a decent hit on his ribs as he coughed up blood.
He tried his best to resist and after some time, he couldn't take it anymore.
Chatur looked at them with rage bubbling inside his heart, but couldn't do anything. The five of them also felt like they succeeded in their ambush and were about to finish him off, when Chatur just lunged into the stream and activated his illusion techniques to escape.
All the while throwing the water attacks from the stream non-stop.
He zoomed through the stream as he escaped.
The five of them didn't follow through. They knew that it would be hard to not attract attention like this, but they are already happy because they are so sure that they would be able to finish off Chatur if there is no stream nearby.
They went back and reported everything.
Meanwhile, Chatur also went to the Town-head mansion to report.
"Your act is good enough, just hide for a few days within the mansion."
Even before Chatur spoke, Sam already said.
It would be laughable if he couldn't find out that these five people are coming into the town with his crystal table. He kept the table activated for the whole day now, with the help of energy cells and his heavenly wine.
There is no way he couldn't find them. It is all his plan.
But he has his reasons for doing what he did.
For the next few days, the war went on like this.
In the morning, the Minotaurs, orcs, and humans all attacked together and tried their best to destroy everything there. But they couldn't progress too much.
Other than that, every night there are ambushes on Sam's friends and the Pre-transcendent stage Dwarves.
But there are no lives lost, every time the people who are ambushed tried their best to escape using their advantage in the knowledge of the battle-field since the town is their home ground.
The wight commander didn't feel anything wrong though. Even though he couldn't kill them, they are still being injured severely and escaped. They wouldn't be able to stay at their hundred percent in the final battles.
But Sam doesn't seem worried as the ambushes kept on increasing.
At first, there is only one team of enemies ambushing at night. After three days, it turned into two teams in the same time, after another two days, it turned into three teams, and the very next day it turned into four.
By ten days, except for the Wight commander and some top dogs, every team is getting ready for an ambush as they found out that Sam's friends and Dwarves are in an extremely important operation.
Sam is looking at it all through the crystal table as he looked at the movements of these people. For some reason, the Wight commander also joined the ambush this time along with the rest of the top dogs and got ready to attack.
Sam couldn't help but smirk and mutter slowly.
"Idiots."
With that, he waited for them to enter the town 'sneakily' without being noticed by anyone and each team went to their own destinations, where Sam's friends are 'working'.
But what they are actually doing is, they are preparing for the attacks. They are waiting for their attacks to commence so that they can have fun.
They are currently drilling six metal rods into the ground in their surroundings, these are special tools given to them by Sam based on their elemental usage to give them some advantage.
While they finished their preparations and stayed there, soon the teams of five reached those spots.
They didn't see the metal rods and directly surrounded their targets.
Watt couldn't help but shake his head when he saw them. He was quite skeptical of this plan and asked Sam much time whether it would work.
But these corpses easily fell for it. They didn't even think about how Sam was able to talk to them in the middle of the battle.
They didn't even think how Sam was able to activate so many things without moving out of the Town head's mansion.
They didn't even think, why they were able to successfully ambush their targets in the middle of the town even after their intentions are revealed.
He doesn't know if he should call the commander of these forces, Naïve or stupid. But he has to say that he is impressed by how Sam managed to think about their reactions perfectly.
His predictions are once again accurate and this would be giving the desired victory to them.
