Everyone at the tent and outside the tent is all looking at the heap of heads as they gulped hard. Even though many of them had been in many battles, they couldn"t help but feel creepy when they saw heads piled up like that.
The heap is so large that the heads rolled down outside.
The Regiment commander was the most shocked of all.
The mission goal was to scout the forest and bringing back a soldier so that they could get more information.
But Sam just went there and brought back all the heads of the enemies.
This is inconceivable. But the proof is right before him to see.
He looked at Sam in a whole new light, he also understood why he beat his son up. He could have killed his son in the spot if he wants to, but the only thing that stopped him is that he is in the military. Why would someone so capable bear with an arrogant young master in a flattering way?
Even though, he acknowledged Sam"s ability, the hostility in his eyes didn"t dim down, in fact, it increased. Sam looked at him straight in the eyes and smiled coldly.
His smile has so many hidden meanings that gave the regiment commander chills and made him extremely uncomfortable.
After thinking for some time, he grudgingly started a.s.signing rewards to Sam"s ident.i.ty token.
The rewards for the Nascent stage cultivator are five thousand two hundred and ninety, as for the Pre-transcendent cultivator there are extra hundred credits, but now that he has a position as a battalion commander and he was also brought back alive, then the reward is also higher.
The battalion commander brings position gives him five thousand extra credits, which is almost the same as all the heads he brought, apart from that, there are a thousand more credits for bringing him back alive.
In two days, Sam not only went on a suicide mission, but he also surpa.s.sed the requirements of the mission he was given and even gained more than ten-thousand credits.
After receiving his rewards, he didn"t wait there and went back to his barracks, he even whistled as he walked down slowly with his hands in his pockets.
Everyone is looking at him and talking, he became a hot topic, just in one day.
After reaching the area of the barracks, he didn"t go to his own tent directly, rather he walked toward another tent, the tent that houses the son of the regiment commander.
He swaggered his way inside like it was his own property and looked at the young master who is trying to get into the pants of another lady.
Sam couldn"t help but shake his head at this h.o.r.n.y dog. It is almost like his p.e.n.i.s is the only part that is working in his body.
When that guy saw Sam come inside, he was stunned to the point, he didn"t even care about his compromising position.
Only after he saw Sam"s disgusted expression, did he come back to his senses and tried to cover up.
After that, he pointed his finger at Sam and yelled.
"How are you still alive?"
Sam couldn"t care less and jump from his spot and knee kicked straight into the face of the young master. The guy fell backward, with his teeth falling down, Sam didn"t stop, he jumped once again and ax kicked him in the stomach making him yell in pain and distress.
After finished what he came to do, Sam went back to his own tent and relaxed for a bit, before taking out the two blades he used today.
It has been a while since he maintained them. Every time they are used to kill someone, they will absorb the essence from the blood and even some iron essence to increase its own density. Until the spirit is manifested, it would be hard for the blade to absorb the iron uniformly to only increase the density.
There is a chance that some extra metal depositing on the edges and such.
He started grinding the blades and polishing them with the meteorite sand. Only Sam could afford to use such precious metal as a grinding object.
As he immersed himself into this, he didn"t think of the time as he relaxed his mind and soon Yodha came in hurriedly. It seems like the meeting was just over.
As soon as he came in, he was about to talk, but when he saw Sam who is so involved and peaceful he changed his mind otherwise and sat on the side.
He observed the two blades. The blood-red blades and the black hilts of the blades along with their extremely terrifying aura of bloodthirst are magnificent in his eyes.
After a few minutes, Sam was done with his work and looked at Yodha.
"Nice swords, can I see them?" Yodha asked a bit hesitantly, Sam didn"t mind though, he handed over the two blades and let him examine them.
After looking at the sharp blade he couldn"t help but admire them even more. They are like pieces of art.
"They are excellent, who made them? What material are they?"
Sam couldn"t help but smile and said.
"I made them from the scratch, from collecting of raw material to refining it and making the sword, I did everything myself."
"Wow, you are really skilled Artisan, but you didn"t say the material name. It seems like great quality material."
"Blood Iron."
Yodha thought he heard wrong.
"Blood Iron? What a weird name, where can you find this?"
Sam couldn"t help but chuckle at this. It is normal for normal people to not know about the blood Iron, but every artisan must have heard of this metal. He thought that the people from the Naga realm would be able to recognize this, but it seems like it is not possible.
"Are you sure you want to know about this?" Sam asked casually.
"Of course, why? Is there a problem?"
"Nothing. I will tell you.
The source of Blood Iron is nothing but blood, the blood that flows in the living beings, it was extracted from the blood of living beings. As for my swords,
Three hundred men died making these."
He said all of this so casually and didn"t even blink while saying how many people died just for his swords.
All of sudden, Yodha became terrified for a second, he looked at the two swords and couldn"t help but gulp. How many people can do this? Even he killed hundreds of men if not thousands on the battlefield, but that doesn"t mean, he is capable and cruel enough to make a blade out of their blood.
He understood the bloodthirsty aura coming from the blades. He carefully gave those back to Sam and asked.
"How did you…"
Before he could ask Sam interrupted him and continued.
"There was an incident back then I was a Novice, someone kidnapped someone under my wing at that time and even tried to kill her in some stupid ritual, the whole family was in it and they are all blocking my way to save her.
At that time, I was so frustrated that everyone is constantly provoking me, so these blades are the symbol, a symbol that gives the message that it is unwise to harm someone under me. But trust me these blades are excellent in battle, the aura they give them off is something that couldn"t be replicated or replaced.
The three hundred men died for this didn"t die in vain. I sometimes pray that their souls rest in peace."
Sam said with a smile.
But Yodha felt cold sweat all over.
At this moment, a soldier ran over and whispered something to Yodha, the latter looked at Sam and asked.
"Did you beat up Regiment commander"s son?"
"Didn"t he say I could beat up anyone if I can complete the mission? In fact, I finished with much more than what they wanted, I think even earned the right to beat up that regiment commander."
Yodha became helpless, he didn"t expect Sam has this side, he is nowhere like the man who is trying to sell himself at the Arena.
For the next few days, Sam wasn"t given any missions, the war didn"t escalate to full scale at this moment, there are only small skirmishes and there is not much for them to do.
But after two days, Sam heard something that made him want to kill someone.
Arman was stuck in a valley that was surrounded by enemies. He didn"t expect that Arman would be in such a situation.
While he was thinking if he should go there and rescue him, he heard something else that made him start a ma.s.sacre.
Arman was stuck there because of the Regiment commander"s plot. It was said that he was sent on this mission deliberately and he even instructed the rest of the soldiers to abandon Arman in the valley.
The more peculiar news is that the regiment commander himself wanted to spread this news all over.
By the time Sam learned this news, Yodha also heard of it and he came running to Sam, but Sam"s face his colder than he thought and he is oozing killing intent.
Sam said to Yodha. "Seems like your commander doesn"t want to win this war as much as he wants to p.i.s.s me off. One more time, one more time I get p.i.s.sed off, I am turned traitor to your stupid army. Trust me, the situation in the forest will repeat all over again and you will watch it in the full splendor."
With that, Sam didn"t wait for him and activated the lightning energy and ran towards the direction Arman was in.
