Chapter 677: Reason for the war
Sam stayed there for the time being and helped the dwarves rebuild the town in a better way.
Not only did he help them have a better layout, he even added the defensive system using the stream into their new designs.
His friends went onto assist them in taking the sacking villages back and even the captured towns are taken back.
By the end of six months, Arman still didn't get the coordinates for the next location of the Palace of inheritance.
Sam is currently waiting for Veer to come and pay the debts.
There is no way he could just leave without any proper payment after doing so much for the people here.
He sent a message to the City of the council.
The war has also ended there. The Minotaur and Orc tribes are pushed back into their territories.
While Sam is waiting for the answer from Veer. He broke through to the Level-2 of Pre-transcendent stage.
He noticed that although the time for breakthroughs is increasing with his increase in cultivation, the more his cultivation increased, the harder it is becoming for him to suppress the cultivation stage without breaking through.
He was able to suppress the breakthrough for a couple of months when he is still a Nascent stage cultivator. But his bloodlines are becoming harder to be kept in a suppressed state, the more he broke through further.
He is feeling like his plan to improve and have a more solid foundation has gone to shit, but at least his foundation is more solid than most of his peers.
While he is contemplating on what his third puppet should be like, Veer has finally arrived.
Veer directly came to his residence where Sam is staying.
Sam looked at him and smiled.
"I am sorry your house was changed, but you know I don't have time to find another place at that time. At least your town is safe and not many people died."
"I wouldn't have minded even if you have raged every single house in the town to the ground if it meant to save the town."
Veer said with a chuckle as he bowed his short body to Sam and said in a solemn tone.
"Thank you so much for your help, if not for you we would have been in big trouble."
Sam didn't dare to accept that bow. He could accept gratitude, but this much is too much even for him.
He hurried stood up and asked him to stand before saying.
"It is just a transaction. Please don't be so formal."
Veer looked at him and said.
"It is not actually a transaction for me. Do you know what that war signifies to us dwarves? If all four towns are taken down at the same time, it would have cost the survival of the whole dwarven race and the whole banished realm.
Even the Minotaurs and Orcs wouldn't be spared. They would have died and become part of the corpse army of the undead races.
But they are too stupid to realize and tried to attack us for them."
Sam was surprised a bit. He didn't expect that there is such a story behind this.
Veer continued.
"I heard you made a bunker under the mansion. Have you noticed anything?"
"Excess vitality and life force."
"If you have dug another two hundred meters, you would have noticed something else.
Do you know that the Undead realm and the Banished realm are actually used to be one realm?"
"Yes. I heard about it before I came here."
"The realm is actually an extremely unstable realm without any form of natural support for any life. When they decided to banish us and the Undead races to this realm, they didn't want the race to suffer extinction which would damage the balance of the universe. That is why a god divided the realm into two and placed some objects within these two newly formed realms.
We don't know exactly what they are, but they managed to create and sustain life in this banished realm and create an environment with death energy to let the undead races barely survive.
But the undead races that tried to make their comeback couldn't be satisfied with their survival. Do you know what they are lacking?
The life force.
The undead races are somewhat weird, their bane of existence is the life force and their medium for development is also the life force.
The objects they placed in this realm are under the four towns and the city of the council, if they could catch all five of these things and join them with their counterparts in the undead realm, they will have a life force and will sustain the growth of forests and living creatures.
They would have more resources, the humans they consume couldn't get stronger than a certain extent due to the undead environment, if they could get these things, they would have an abundant life force and they would be able to grow.
The human tribe in the southwest is actually a story created by dwarves. But the situation is that there is a crack between the two realms that loosens and tightens from time to time. The undead soldiers and servants come through that crack when it loosens and enters this world to scout and gather resources from here.
Now, they seemed to have encountered a tough situation, they couldn't wait any longer and sent their prodigies here to lead the war.
If they either take the four objects in four towns at the same time or capture the main object from the city, it will be gone.
This realm will lose its ability to sustain and maintain life.
That is why I asked you to hold down the town while I went back to the city."
Sam listened to it seriously and asked.
"So, where is my reward? Apart from the reward, I would be happy if you pay for the resources I have used to maintain the town. You know I would lose out a lot."
Veer chuckled at Sam's words.
He understood one thing, Sam doesn't care if there is a story behind all this. He is just looking at it as a transaction.
He looked around and noticed Watt and Philip are sitting nearby and hesitated to say something.
"No problem, there is no need for me to maintain secrecy with them. You can say whatever you want."
Veer nodded and took out a glowing white object.
It has a tremendous amount of life force and vitality.
"This is a by-product created by that main object. You cannot find this anywhere in the universe other than here."
Veer explained and stored it back in the spatial ring before giving the ring to Sam.
"There are ten of them here inside. Bury it in a field or water source or create a room with them in a healing formation. It would bring qualitative changes for everything. People outside this world who consume the effects of these things will be able to improve their constitutions if they take it from childhood.
Even though we have an abundance of it here, we couldn't use it ourselves due to the curse and we couldn't even take it out of this place through the normal route.
Since you can come here ignoring the restrictions in this place, you can take it back with you. I think it would be sufficient reimbursement for your resources too."
"Of course."
Sam replied with a smile.
He could feel the energy from it. It is extremely familiar to him as he felt it a few days before when he created the bunker.
He stored the ring away and made some small talk regarding the resources he needs and what he is willing to exchange.
When it came to this, Veer asked something Sam didn't expect.
"Can you take some people out of this place? I would like to send some youngsters who haven't awakened out of this place."
Sam was surprised as he looked at him in askance.
"I don't want my race to stay here and face the danger of extinction. The Undead realm creatures wouldn't stay put after all the losses they suffered. This attack is only a start. I don't want my tribe to die in this place. Even though it would take a few years for the next attack to happen, I would like to send a few of them back with you so that they would know and grow better."
"But the place I am from is filled with humans. Will they be okay with all the discrimination they have to face?"
"They cannot have it all right?"
Sam thought for a minute and said.
"I have an idea if you want to listen to."
Sam started explaining a proposal and this went on for the whole evening. He explained about his school his situation and what kind of support he could provide for the tribe and what he wants in return.
Sam showed the recording crystals full of videos of his organization and explained everything.
At the end of the day, they both agreed on a deal and shook hands for it.
Sam was ecstatic when he landed this deal, but this ecstasy disappeared soon enough.
