Chapter 1544: Tension
Sam looked at the cylinder and felt pretty frustrated.
When he estimated the potency of this liquid, he felt extremely troubled. He knew this is dangerous and already gave a pretty high estimation of the potency of the liquid in Sivan"s hands.
He must say that the quality of it is not that high. It is not the purest poison he has created.
Based on its effects on various materials, he is perfectly sure that it is not pure enough. But it is very potent.
For some reason even with this kind of complete lax in the purity. He can think of the possible theories in which this could be achieved.
He went into a deep thought and only when he sensed his surroundings did he come back from them.
"I know that you might be thinking that artisans and the formation masters at your disposal are best. In a way they are. They are skilled enough.
But the skillset itself is not enough. The theoretical knowledge that they need to process to make this happen and the thought process, the ma.s.sive intellectual demand that is needed for creating this, is not something that I saw in these places.
I haven"t seen a person like that in a while. From the information I have on the Mari clan, that too from Sivan"s memories, there is not a single person who can do that.
Someone else is helping them out.
Someone else is helping Sivan out.
We need to be really careful now.
But before that, we need to find out how many bottles that Sivan has at hand. Countermeasures for this are going to be tough.
I will give out an order to start the repair of the crystal dome. Activate all of the defensive formations within the clan grounds. They should be on all of the time.
We need to increase the attacking intensity. We cannot let the Mari clan get the time to rest or relax. We need to tighten the noose and make them suffocate.
I am sending in the undead troops."
"Go ahead. What do we need to about this liquid though?"
"Well, since they are nice enough to give me this, I will make something really special for them. Just give me an hour. It will be ready."
"An hour? That is it?"
"I don"t need a proper equipment and I don"t have too many material requirements for this. I can do all of it by myself with the sc.r.a.p mental that I have at hand."
Sam walked out without waiting for their reply and went to the lab. On his way, he started giving out orders.
"Transfer the poison essence into all of the weapons that we prepared for it. From vials, grenades to missiles and sphere cannon sh.e.l.ls. Fill them all up. Empty the vat.
I need the special energy cell undead creatures to be out on field in the next ten minutes. Along with that, let the poison undead and the cursed undead. In that order.
Also, let the puppets be ready. The dome formation should be ready to turn on any time and also fix the crystal dome. The maximum defence frequency should be active all the time. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir. We are on it."
"This is the highest level of emergency that you could image. I need everyone to work their best. I don"t need any slack offs. The results would be catastrophic."
After that was done, he contacted Gail and told him to come in.
"Stay on the wall and completely restore your power. I might need your help later."
"Is it really troublesome?"
"Yes, very very troublesome. I cannot stress that enough. The danger is way too much for me to handle it hundred percent."
"Alright. I am on my way."
"Gamin, Yuvana, I need both of you to be on the walls as well. Be at your full power."
"Yes."
"Saran go to your residence. Take your kids and keep them into the divine dimension fragment along with your wife. Take them to the stray realm and keep them there. Don"t let them stay in the clan. It is not that safe here anymore."
"Is it really necessary?"
"The stray realm is the only place that is unexposed to the rest of the world. I have a plan. You trusted me until now, you have to trust me one more time. You have to believe me when I say, I won"t let anything happen to those kids no matter what happens."
"I will send them to the stray realm."
"Thank you. Stay at the wall after you are done with this."
Sam then called another subordinate.
"All of the symbiote weapons should be moved out. Keep them ready. I need them to be ready to use the moment I give you an order. Understood?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good. Get ready, we are about to hasten this war."
Sam went to the lab and started working.
Meanwhile back in the Mari clan"s camp.
Sivan is stressed as he paced around and looked at the people around him. There is no response from the squads he sent out and he saw that Gail already went back. He can figure out that his news was out.
But he doesn"t know how to act at the moment. He is currently in a very troubling situation.
He looked at one of the glider squad leaders and nodded.
"I want you guys to go scouting at the areas. I need a confirmation on the death of our squads."
"Yes, sir."
The glider left and he waited for the response.
After some thought, he stood up and went to talk with hi Grand elders.
"I want you all to prepare yourself, I might need you guys to start fighting soon. So, better get ready."
"What about the divine league members?"
"They will be ready as well. I don"t believe there will be a chance for them to ignore this after the next scenario."
"Alright."
He then went back and on the way back, he ordered for the mercenary soldiers they had at hand to march forward.
He went to Avlyn and said.
"I don"t care if you guys are ready or not anymore. The battle is about to get heated. I want you to be ready."
He didn"t even wait for their response and turned around to walk away.
Avlyn caught up to him and asked.
"What happened?"
"There is a special weapon in my hands which will make Sam very very cautious. He found out about that and the situation is about to turn chaotic. I want you guys to be ready to face the situation if it gets too chaotic."
"So, this weapon will make the peak stage cultivators to come out?"
"Yes, there is a possibility."
He walked away after this and stood at the edge of the camp. He looked at the subordinates who are marching forward and clashed with the golems along with the puppets.
He looked into the sky and noticed that the clash between the gliders and shooters is not done. He called for the glider squad.
"I want you guys to join. Make sure that the shooters are pushed back. You don"t need to kill them or injure them. Just push them back and get your peers back."
"Yes, sir."
The squad moved and Sivan ended the stalemate. For some reason, the shooters on the other side also moved backward easily.
Sivan looked at the marching soldiers and sighed.
He felt that the whole situation is about to blow up and he is very nervous about it.
The tension is too high and he didn"t expect the situation to turn out like this, this soon.
He looked at the setting sun far away and hoped that the war wouldn"t blow up enough to end in this very night.
While he was looking at the dusk, one of the soldiers who is at the front lines and engaging with the golems suddenly felt something is wrong, his leg felt heavy and painful. He lost senses in his feet and stopped in his tracks.
A golem that just formed from the ground came up and punched him in the face with the lava fist.
Not only was he injured by the burning fist, he was also infected by the curses that are mixed in the soil.
"AAAAARHHHHHH…."
He started screaming on top of his lungs. He collapsed on the ground and noticed that there is a white crystal substance on the foot.
The golems killed him and the undead creatures joined in destroying him.
The white crystal slowly spread and consumed his flesh.
Another soldier who was about to swing his sword at a golem stopped in the middle as his legs gave in and he had to kneel on the ground.
The undead came in and stabbed a bone sword into his back. The white crystal started spreading all over him.
His friend who is on the side came running to help him, but his arm was cut off by an undead creature and it was exposed to the white crystal on his friend"s body.
