Both the targets looked at each other in shock and now they understood the gravity of the situation. Even the people from the Myriad Beast sect understood what they are in for if both of them opened their mouths.
They immediately wanted to make a move, but suddenly the person in charge of the Snake Fang group stepped out and said.
"You are not allowed to move. Your formation masters themselves confirmed the risk of explosion. Let us make things easier for all of us. Anyway, it is not that much of a problem when they are only asking for a simple question."
The Myriad beast sect"s person-in-charge immediately understood that they are being screwed over big time.
Meanwhile, both the targets are feeling a torturous pain in their soul as they tried to suppress their urge to tell the truth. They don"t want to open their mouths up and they don"t want to speak at all. But they couldn"t stop themselves from having the urge to speak up.
And the real target felt the most pain, which made her break and she raised her hand.
"I am the representative."
The snake fang group members were stunned and then they became angry. They understood that they were played. And the sect members understood why the trio targeted the fake even though they should have had information from the first two targets.
They just thought that the first two targets might have managed to fool them and made the fake target take the fall, but now they understood the plan of these mercenaries. They just wanted to reveal the whole story in public make the snake fang group humiliated and in turn make them fall out with the Myriad Beast sect.
The other merchant groups even the rivals of the Snake-fang group wouldn"t be happy with them and hard times are about to come.
When someone deals with bad faith in business transactions the other groups would not be willing to deal with them anymore.
"Why are you acting like an employee of the Snake-fang group then?"
"To gain some money over the transactions and to get ahold of some high-level merchandise by getting the inside information from the merchant group. The merchant group has more connections in obtained high-quality products, so I got the information here and pa.s.sed it to the sect, many times they beat the snake fang to get the products for themselves."
After the words were heard by everyone, Sam opened his eyes and adjusted the wrist.w.a.tch. Four of them disappeared from there and the stone pillars crumbled while the puppets that are responsible for the stone pillars were molten into a lump of metal.
The formation is gone and the crisis was averted.
The fake target finally heaved a sigh of relief as she collapsed to the ground. But this is just the beginning.
After they disappeared from that spot, they reappeared back at their camp and Sam collapsed on the ground in exhaustion. But before that, he managed to let Sky out so that they could move.
The target is locked up in the thunder prison and then got shackled before she was transported over.
Sam slept throughout the journey and he didn"t even find any strength to meet Miran to report on the things.
He left all the work to Noah and k.u.mar and he only woke up after a day.
This is one of the reasons he doesn"t use this type of formation. Of course, one of the reasons is that he only recently developed this tech and the other reason is that they took too much of his energy.
At least if he used the liquid energy cells, the pressure on him would have been reduced by a lot, but to his dismay, he already made a deal with the rest of the players that he wouldn"t be using any of the liquid energy cells and some overpowered puppets, so he could only use the energy cells as the sources and that too many of them.
Energy manipulation is that much harder because of this.
If he used this type of trick, he would fall into a helpless state for some time, unless there is someone trustworthy to take care of him, he shouldn"t be using this.
He decided to take a few days off to make sure he is back in his full form.
But these few days are enough for a large chain reaction to be triggered.
The first thing that happened is the news of the Myriad beast sect"s bad faith being spread all over the realm. All the merchant groups are currently holding a bad opinion of the sect and many business deals were canceled.
Particularly, in this wartime, medicine and weapons are crucial and when the war is warming up with the mercenaries of both sides clashing, they wanted to increase their stock of these essentials, but the players interfered big time making it impossible for them to keep it warm. The time period was shortened and now particularly with Sam"s big move, their channels were closed and the war got hot, faster than they expected it to come.
That problem might be big, but that is the least of them.
The Fiend tribe didn"t wait to make their move after they got a hold of the locations of their external resource points.
They sent some extreme elite and started the plunder. Their external resources and one-third of the forces were completely dealt with in a short time span.
But with the involvement of Sam, Noah, and k.u.mar in these invasions, things just got hotter and hotter as they always found a way to escalate the situation.
Either killing some high-level authoritative young master or kidnapping the spouse or concubine of some hard-headed elder that is only in a position of privilege because of the privileges they give out in bed, airing the dirty laundry of the sect again and again. All of these things made sure that there is no peace between them.
Meanwhile, the fiend tribe is not exactly having an easier time.
The remaining players are not exactly soft persimmons, they are in their own league. They did almost the same damage to the Fiend tribe as Sam did to the Myriad beast sect.
In fact, after ten days, both groups were pitted against each other as the two organizations decided to use the mercenaries to deal with the other party"s mercenaries.
But their clash didn"t cause any casualties, at least not between the two groups, rather the other important figures around them were dead or severely injured because they wanted to get involved in the clash.
Both parties retreated and were a.s.signed to different places once again.
Soon, they were out of that planet and then dealt with other planets. The war just went on bigger and bigger.
The rest of the organizations were surprised by this. Because, no matter how harsh the war was previously, they all managed to find a way to get some truce and preserve themselves, but now things are getting out of hand.
It seems like either one of the powers is not ready to stay under the same sky with the other power, much less get along.
Some people thought this is an opportunity and started adding chaos into the mix and the war only got harsher.
While things are going like this, the scales slowly tilted towards the side of the Fiend tribe since they had the headstart because of Sam, Noah, and k.u.mar.
The fiend tribe also noticed this and welcomed them deep into their ranks as they moved forward to destroy the Myriad Beast sect once and for all.
This war would be going on for days and in this time period, Sam and the players don"t have to interfere too much.
While things are already bad for the Myriad beast sect something else happened. The Snake fang group and other merchant groups that are friendly with them started supplying essentials like medicine and weapons to the Fiend tribe at a discount price.
This made the Myriad beast sect leader want to raze down the Snake fang group. But he knew he is incapable of such a feat. He knew that his current situation is not exactly considered optimistic and he knew is going to be screwed big time.
Like this, one month pa.s.sed and the Fiend tribe closed in on the headquarters of the Myriad Beast sect.
By now, some of the unfaithful members already disappeared with whatever they could get from the sect, and only a few remained to guard the place.
Sam, Noah, and k.u.mar are standing outside the sect with the rest of the troops.
The other four players already escaped and disappeared. Since the Myriad Beast sect lost, they don"t have to work for now and just has stay put.
That day, a large battle occurred as the head of the Fiend tribe slain the sect leader of the Myriad Beast sect and his beast as he brought their heads back to the Fiend tribe in full glory.
A glory that is not bound to last long.
