Chapter 540 - Victories

nSam went back to the special division camp and gave out orders. The earth element users are almost gone with only two hundred of them left, the lightning users also left, but all of them didn't go.
nHe assigned them missions to deal with the camps nearby.
nAfter that, he started assigning the training for some formations for the remaining elemental users. Even though, the earth element and the lightning element users would be able to finish his deal with the military, he knew that he would be needed.
nAnother deal will come back rolling and after that, there would be the next one. This time, he doesn't have to prepare on his feet to deal with them.
nAfter assigning training to all special division soldiers, Sam went to the normal soldier camp, they are finally able to heave a sigh of relief.
nThey thought they would just become fodders and meat shields for the special division again, but thankfully that didn't happen.
nSam assembled them all according to their elemental abilities. He stood before them as he looked through the battle records and the achievements they had in the missions.
nThese people are actually more disciplined than the Special division soldiers, which makes it easier for him.
nAfter looking through all the data he could gather, he separated every single group into two groups.
n
"From now on, you will work in the groups you are placed in.
nOne of your groups is a group of main fighters. You guys' training will mostly be related to combat, invasion, scouting. Mostly single hand to hand combat and the combat in squads. Of course, there would be defensive training to defend the base and temporary camps. But it wouldn't be your main priority.
nThe second group will do exactly the opposite. You will mostly focus on defending the base and camps.
nThe hand to hand combat training will be given, but that is not the main priority.
nYou guys might think that I am robbing you of your chances, but every team will have a defender in the team.
nSo, the training will be starting in half-an-hour. Know of your new teammates at this time. Get as much information as you can about your new teammates and hide as much information as you can about yourself. You have to hide the truth, but don't lie. A single lie from a teammate may cost a lot for the team.
"
nWith that, he left the place. When he got back to his tent, he was greeted by Yodha who is waiting for him.
n
"This time, there is no other war except the one between the Nascent realm cultivators, they are not even trying to use other troops as if they are sure that blood mutants are enough to kill us all.
"
n
"Of course, they are sure. From the information they have on you, they will surely be able to accomplish that. A feat that no one has ever accomplished, using half a regiment to destroy the whole army. That would be a great achievement if you ask me.
"
n
"I heard you are training the soldiers once again. What are you going to do?
"
n
"Just preparing for the next transaction.
"
n
"If they don't make another deal?
"
n
"Then take it as a gift. I will leave the camp after that and take my horse to roam the country.
"
n
"Of course, you will.
"
n
"By the way, I need a favor.
"
n
"What would that be?
"
n
"There is a reason why I came to this place and there are around six months or so for me to stay here. I need you to keep an eye out for me.
"
n
"For what?
"
n
"For something that would make all the nations alert and even the emperor to feel conflicted, for something that could cause a lot of tournaments to be conducted. Make sure to find out if the emperor is looking for the best of the Nascent stage cultivators.
nAnd if there is something like that happening, please inform me.
"
n
"What is it exactly?
"
n
"Well, I cannot tell you that, at least not now. When I am done with my work and I am about to leave the place, I would definitely tell you what it is exactly.
"
nYodha immediately went out and started using his connections in the imperial capital. He is so busy in the war he was not in connection with the city and the rest of the nation.
nHe started pulling the strings he has on the matter.
nSam asked this now because he felt like it would be in between six and three months before the palace of inheritance releases the tokens to the prodigies of Naga Realm.
nAfter requesting Yodha, he went back to the training sessions. The whole camp is extremely chaotic but in an extreme order at the same time.
nAll the cultivators could be seen doing stupidly easy things.
nThe rest of the commanders are complaining to the general non-stop. But the general only have one thing to say.
n
"Can you win the war?
"
nIf they can win, then they would definitely say yes and be done with it.
nThe next day, the troops that left to other cities returned with a pile of blood mutant corpses.
nThey didn't even bring them directly to the general or Yodha, they came to Sam. Sam once again collected the vertebral scales.
nThe battles succeeded. A total of fifteen hundred blood mutants died and there are around three thousand left.
nSam once again submitted the battle report and waited for the General to talk about the next transaction.
nWhile the base camp of Mov is a bit cheerful due to consecutive victories, the base camp of rubrum is a mess.
nThe information of the continuous losses made it hard for them to swallow.
nParticularly the price they paid for the blood mutants and the trust they had in them.
nAt this exact moment, the Master of the blood mutants is getting the scolding of his life from his general.
nActually, not all the regiment commanders supported the blood mutants. After all, they will lose their current standing if the blood mutants could win the war by themselves.
nThey are even wishing for the rest of the three thousand blood mutants dead.
nThe commanders added fuel to the fire and roasted the Master of Blood mutants.
nNow, as if the scolding is not enough, the general even ordered that Master should take the support of the normal soldiers, and even his range of action was cut down. He has to only take the city that Sam is stationed at.
nMaster of the Blood mutants was extremely frustrated, but he couldn't do anything. All he could do is fulfill the command. At least he has to be happy that he was given a good place to occupy.
nThe most important mines of the nation. He just hoped that would be a great enough achievement.
nThe next day, Sam received the news that the troops are marching towards him.
nThey crossed the forest and are stationed at its outskirts.
nWhen received the news, Sam was a bit curious and asked.
n
"How do you guys get this information? How do you communicate?
"
n
"Pigeons and Ravens.
"
nSam was stunned. His jaw dropped to the floor.
nHe was surprised that they are using such a method to send information. This is not what he expected. He skimmed through the information in his mind and found out some beasts that could do this task and asked.
n
"Silver Pigeons? And Four-eyed Ravens?
"
nSam asked in amusement.
n
"Yes.
"
n
"Then can survive the Miasma of this world?
"
n
"Yes, actually. We don't know that either. It has only been around a hundred years since they were bred here. Before that, we only have normal ways like a person traveling all the distance.
"
n
"Damn it, I am going to ask these beasts for the next transaction.
"
n
"What is the next deal?
"
n
"Your general didn't say it. He said he would have to think and today he sent you here with the information like this.
nThis time, fifteen hundred blood mutants are waiting there along with around five thousand normal soldiers. All of them are stationed outside the forest and inside there might be another five hundred blood mutants.
nWe don't know their goal yet.
nBut from what I think, it would be to take this city. But if it is then they should be marching forward, but they are not doing so. I think we only have to wait and see. Anyway, the next deal was not cut yet. So, there is no need for me to worry too much at this moment.
"
n
"Then we will have to wait, anyway this might even give you more time to train the soldiers as you like.
"
n
"That is true. By the way, where did you get these pigeons and ravens, both of them are not beasts of the same origins, in fact, they are of completely different places and different natures.
"
n
"No one knows, except for my father. He and his father went on an expedition hundred years ago. He was just a Nascent back then, at least that is what he said to me. They brought these beasts back when they returned.
"
n
"I would really like to meet your father.
"
