In the upper realms.
Particularly, in one of Hou Yi"s immediate subordinate realms. This is one of the realms he can visit directly. But still, there are some restrictions placed on his body by the natural laws which suppress his strength by a lot.
But he is not here to fight, so this is okay. He is here to meet somebody and he waited for them to come. Soon a lady in the black arrived and sat opposite to him calmly.
"I didn"t expect I would get an invitation from Hel, what do you want to meet me for?"
"I want Sam dead."
"I want him dead too. But don"t you know that we cannot just interfere."
"I know, but this time I cannot tolerate it anymore. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d not only destroyed one of bigger soldier supplies for me, he also merged them with his own force. I cannot even retaliate against them for the time being because now they are considered part of the player"s forces which is completely against the rules."
"So, what do you want to do?"
"I am not doing anything directly, we will let the subordinate families deal with this and we have to play within the rules discreetly.
Sam currently selected the h.e.l.lian tribe of mine in the Flaming Star realm. From what I know you have a large race superior to the h.e.l.lian tribe under your control."
"The Solar fragment race?"
"Yes, whatever that is. What I want is let a person of high position from the Solar fragment race to marry one of the people of high position in the h.e.l.lian tribe.
The marriage had to be done secretely and public should never be aware of this."
"What do you want to do with a marriage? Are you going to let them join in when the h.e.l.lian tribe is attacked?"
"No, I have a much bigger plan than that. But before I explain anything, look at this and tell me if you recognize this thing."
She spread a scroll across the table and when Hou Yi saw the contents of the scroll, he was shocked.
"Where did you get this?"
"You seemed to forgotten who my father is. He is the G.o.d of mischief."
"Then why didn"t you get a full lock, we can only get open the portal temporarily and only a few of our subordinates might be able to go there."
"This is all I can get, you do know why it was fully locked right? Don"t think that we would be able to escape scot-free just for this. We have to give a proper explanation and a giant compensation just for this.
If it was full unlock, then we would be in a full war.
So, prepare your subordinates from the personal army and send them all to the Solar Fragment race. Everything should be properly done. Don"t you dare give out any loose ends.
I will be sending my subordinates to the h.e.l.lian tribe.
And you should give some instructions to the tribe directly and make sure that they understand every word of them…."
She went on and on for over an hour as she clearly explained the plan and gave all the key details.
"By the way, if by any chance any one of us gets caught, then we are on our own, there would be no ratting on others. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I was about to propose the same thing, then I will take care of the instructions you gave me and prepare the Solar Fragment tribe. You deal with the things on your end."
With that they shook their hands and just left.
Meanwhile, back in the barbarian realm.
Sam is currently looking at the report from the subordinate he a.s.signed to deal with the h.e.l.lian tribe.
The report is extremely detailed, they are regarding the detailed power structure and the businesses of the h.e.l.lian tribe.
"You did great. I thought you would take a lot of time, but it has only been four days. You are fast."
"Thank you sir."
"So, what do you guys think? You can take care of that on your own? Or should I also come there?"
"No, Sir. I think we can take care of them, but we need small help, we want to know how to breach the family through this side. That was the side where the least number of people are stationed, because the wall is strongest there.
If we can breach from here, we would be able to launch a perfect surprise attack."
"I can tell you that, but what about the business approach."
"We would be going through the business approach first, but we are sure that the h.e.l.lian tribe wouldn"t agree for the business deal and it will lead to the conflict easily. They are hot tempered. So, I figured it would be better to be prepared before the conflict so that we don"t have to think too much."
"Not a bad idea. This is not just a task, this is also a test for you guys. From now on we will be climbing upwards into the realms and soon reach some catastrophic opponents where I had to be involved directly. Then I wouldn"t have enough time to deal with the smaller problems, so I need people who can do most of the things on their own without too much of my intereference.
I am not telling you this just to increase the pressure, I need to inform you because I want you to be ready. I want you to prepare yourself properly for the future.
You can fail in these tests and try to stay alive and escape. After all, as long as I am here you would be able to get back at them and for that you also need to stay alive.
Get your team ready and ready to move."
"Yes, Sir."
After sending them off, Sam moved out of his tent to meet Watt and Wembley.
They are sitting on the bank of the stream with their legs placed in the water.
He walked towards them and asked.
"What are your plans?"
"We would stay here for a few days, we are only sure of that part."
Watt replied with a faint smile.
"When will you get married?"
"Is there really need for such a formality? ISn"t it enough as long as we are together normally?"
Watt said with a helpless expression.
"That is a day to remember. It is the day you proclaim your love in front of the whole world. A story that you could tell to your kids and yourself when you are old and senile. Why are you so against it?"
"I don"t know. I am not against it, but I am also not particularly interested either."
"Anyway, you are having a wedding. But I would say you better have it in Desolate. That is our home after all. That is if it is okay with Wembley."
Wembley looked at both of us and said.
"I don"t have anything left in this place. I don"t mind."
"What about Philip and Jack then? Do you want me to bring them to your wedding?" Sam asked as he sat down beside Watt.
"No, let those a.s.sholes stay where they are. Who knows what kind of situations they are in? We would meet on the time we agreed on.
Few days after wedding, we will also be leaving desolate, I would resume my journey once again and meet you after a few years in the place we previously agreed up on and now I am sure that I wouldn"t be as bored as before."
"But you have to take care. You only have two more calls left on your device to call me. So, be careful.
Anyway, back to your wedding. My subordinates are dealing with a tribe in a nearby realm. I want to get a glimpse of their performance and review how far they can handle things. So, we would staying for a few more days.
And after that we will go back to desolate, by then even the s.p.a.ce gate will be finished.
So we can go directly. There we can finish your wedding, you go your way and I will go my way."
"Sure, whatever you say."
For the next few days, Sam secretly went to the realm where h.e.l.lian tribe is to monitor the process of his subordinates, it is not that he doesn"t trust his reports, he has this plan since the start and he would also get a better understanding of their flaws in such a large scale operation which he would be able to rectify.
And as for why he didn"t tell them directly, he was worried that they would be having performance anxiety with his presence.
He observed all the process from start to finish, they managed to get out of the business proposal alive, then they managed to divert their attention properly while they attacked the tribe estate directly and enter it.
They chipped down a lot of forces and destroyed all kinds of formation arrangements they have in the estate which would make it impossible for the tribe to have a decent base.
Then they slowly irritated and frustrated them while finding ways to destroy the businesses of the family and defeated the stubborn tribe finally after a lot of work and took that family heirloom before returning.
There is one subordinate dead and four of them critically injured.
They are a bit down because of one death which led them to train more.
Sam is really impressed by their performance.
He let them take over the businesses after giving them a bonus and left the Barbarian realm with Watt and Wembley.
