Chapter 2410: Short Work
Chapter 2410: Short Work
Sam used the same trick again.
The pack of cards spread open. Yanwu who was near the first general appeared in front of this general and launched an attack.
The card exploded again, burning up the general.
Just like that two of the three generals are gone. Sam finally turned to the water general. This
is the slowest of the three. Maybe its because there is no water around, but the general is extremely slow in its movements and even appeared weak compared to the general Mia faced inside the water.
He deactivated the fire elemental fusion and took out another pack of cards. He closed the distance between him and the general. The general reacted as fast as it could and close combat started.
Sam's speed even without any fusion is fast enough to deal with it.
This creature is nearly not as agile as the land or sky generals. He could sense it clearly. Its movements are clumsy and there is a sense of desperation and frustration behind those moves.
Sam slipped past its attacks and slowly dealt some damage.
*SCREECH* *SCREECH*
The general made weird sounds as it seemed to get more and more desperate. He is trying to see if the water general will do anything else. After all, there is one primary difference apart from their physical nature that he observed in between the three generals.
The sky generals or abomination lackeys all have flight. That is the only thing they got from the wind elemental affinity.
They cannot use any wind elemental attacks.
Then came the land generals. The earth and wood element showed in terms of their rocky bodies and vitality. They cannot use the attacks.
However, the water abomination lackeys, actually used water spear attacks on Sam at the start. They managed to manipulate water. Apart from being able to survive they managed to gain that extra ability.
He wondered if they can conjure a water elemental attack outside of water and wanted to see how this general would do it.
But no matter how much he tried, it wasn't doing anything. It only tried to attack physically. After testing it enough, Sam decided to end it.
With threw the pack of cards into the air and with the spatial blink he appeared out of their range. Raiju appeared beside him and conjured up a lightning strike.
*BAM*n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The series of lightnings shattered the creature and destroyed it completely.
Three generals are dead with three bloodline attacks and three packs of cards. That is a bargain in his book.
"Go back and recover."
He sent Raiju and Yanwu back into the divine dimension. He kind of spammed these attacks continuously.
He met Triala on his way back to his room.
"I don't know why you guys are so worried about these creatures. They are good in number sure, but you could have easily overcome that with some tactical methods. The generals... with a proper trap, they could be killed easily.
It seems like what you guys lack is not just the knowledge and the level ceiling. You guys didn't develop much in combat as well."
It seemed like he is genuinely giving them constructive feedback.
"Anyway, let's see what we can do after we are done.
For now, focus on expanding further. Clear as many areas as possible. Once the lackeys and generals are done, it is time for the abominations to step in. Let's deal with them quickly as well.
Let me know if the other settlements show any signs of occupying your territory, I will deal with them."
Sam went into the room once again. But before he entered, he looked in a specific direction and smirked.
In that particular direction, Aspirant who was spying the whole time flinched and hid himself behind the tree. Then he thought to himself how stupid he was. After all, if Sam really did sense his location even with the concealment formations, then what is the point of hiding behind a tree.
He cursed under his breath and then went into a deep thought. He didn't know exactly what they should do to deal with Sam. If he can even deal with the generals in a matter of few moves, then what exactly can exhaust his means and corner him?
After some thought, he decided to try everything.
He went back to Ronx territory and commanded.
"From now, lure the creatures. Any creature, regardless of its level towards their territory. But before you do that, I want a few fire element users to burn all the vines surrounding their territory discreetly."
Once the command is given, the Telchines got into action.
They are very trained and experienced. Even though they are dealing with these creatures for the first time, they still caught on pretty quickly and understood how to deal with them. Luring them away was a piece of cake.
A couple of them with fire element went to the Triala territory and started burning the vines down. Some people from Triala's territory observed this and wanted to attack, however she realized that their strength is way too high and informed Sam.
"Let them be. I know what they are trying to do."
As he said that, he closed his eyes and started operating the production units inside the divine dimension. He is quickly assembling some turrets a few special ones.
The production speed is pretty quick considering the inside of the tower has 10 to 1 advantage.
"I am sure, you guys still have those fruits. Place them inside and launch them. This is how it works."
"Launch them on what? People?"
"No, you will understand when the time comes."
Sam also gave a recording crystal that shows the demonstration. Triala nodded and called people to carry the turrets over. They are installed on the city walls, around the territory.
They just waited. Soon Triala understood what Sam meant when he told her to launch them. There are a swarm of land abomination lackeys coming from all sides.
Now that the vines are burned down it became way too easy for them to come again.
"Shoot"
She commanded.
The land abominations are once again entangled in the vines and are dying at a rapid rate. The scouts once again went and harvested the fruits as fast as they can.
Aspirant didn't lose hope and directed them to divert the sky abomination lackeys towards
the territory.
The scouts checked the activity, informed Triala and news went to Sam.
He gave her another set of turrets. They are not normal turrets and they are not using any
seeds. Rather, they are some kind glass balls filled with red liquid. As soon as they are launched at the sky abomination lackeys, they exploded and invaded the lackeys with fire
elemental poison.
Even though the effect is not as immediate as it is with the land abomination lackeys, they are
still going down fast.
Now, only if the generals come they need to be worried. Otherwise, they can take down the commanders even if they come in a swarm.
Aspirant got a bit frustrated, but he still wanted to try.
"I want a few earth element users in your territory. We are going to dig water ways around the Triala territory and connect it with the sea. Then we will start luring the water lackeys to
them.
As you said, they are the highest in number, then they will definitely be troubled." Aspirant is running out of ideas. This one is a bit farfetched and has too many holes. However,
he still decided to stubbornly implement it.
They did dig canals at a rapid pace from the nearby locations where water abomination
lackeys usually reside.
And the Telchines did a short work of luring them. They are indeed high in number. But the territory didn't panic.
In fact, they had a much more leisure time compared to when the first two abomination
groups attacked them.
Because the first thing Sam did after reaching here is keep his promise of giving a bunch of poison exclusive guns to them.
So, when the abomination lackeys came they all took out their guns and started shooting
them down.
"FUCK YOU."
Aspirant cursed as he looked at his plans failing.
"Should I just attack him directly?"
He wondered.
As he was wondering all of a sudden, he got a report.
"Sir, a humanoid creature is coming from that direction and it seems like it is making its way
towards Sam's territory. There is a giant swarm of land abominations behind it."
One of the Telchine reported and gave a recording crystal.
The crystal showed exactly what the Telchine described.
The creature in the lead gave him chills. So, he immediately took that to Ronx and asked about
it.
Ronx felt his throat go dry.
"That... That is the land abomination."
Ronx's face is covered in fear, while Aspirant's face is covered in hope.
"This is it. This is the chance."
While he is wondering that, Sam also figured it out.
"This is it, this is the only way. Even though it's a bit expensive, I won't lose much. So, I better
go with this.
He held a small puppet in his hand. It is a drone of sorts. Shaped like a submarine. A minature
submarine."
