Sam"s trick can be considered somewhat dirty. Particularly, when he saw the way these people carried themselves. They are too prideful and too focused on killing their enemies in one sweep.

If they really clashed, then one party will surely perish completely.

They wouldn"t retreat, these people are close to barbarians. But he didn"t care about feelings. Feelings don"t win wars.

He also knew that the castle walls wouldn"t stop them for too long, the more free time they have on them, the more beneficial it is for the enemies. The provisions are not enough at all the other party would gladly wait and plan on how to deal with the castle slowly, while the castle turned chaotic.

Sam didn"t want that to happen. So, the first day went with him spraying hot rain on the enemies. It might not seem like much, but it is actually critical damage for the enemies. More than half of the enemies are completely soaked in the hot water.

Their skin scalded slightly, but that is not the main damage. The water on their bodies will start to freeze immediately and even their thick clothing will start freezing.

When some freezes right on their skin, they wouldn"t be able to endure it, they are did something wrong and rubbed it off, there would be layers of skin disappearing from the spot, even if they don"t, they will suffer Ice burn on top of the scalded skin.

The Ice burn is enough to make the enemies go chaotic. More than half of the people who caught up in the rain will feel their bodies burning on the fire even in that cold and will definitely catch a cold.

A cold in the snowy mountains and in the middle of the war, they should see how chaotic they would become.

The first thing he has to do is, that to reduce the calm of the enemies and he achieved that. Only when they are not calm will they take decisions on impulse and only on the impulse will they make mistakes. This is what he wanted them to do, make mistakes.

And the commander happened to be a Naga of some other nation, but currently, his appearance is that of a human. He has no idea about normal warfare without any spiritual energy. So, he is counting on the five days depletion of the provisions and the chaos, but now he knew that he has to defend against the enemy attacks too.

The enemies retreated a bit and didn"t stay within the range where the hot water could affect them. Even if they used catapults the water wouldn"t stay in the barrel until it reached the area.

Sam went on to look for the next trick he should use, even though some of his subordinates are not pleased with his method, they understood the severity of the situation. They couldn"t just b.i.t.c.h and whine about the methods they used.

That night, there was a surprise attack on the castle, a volley of arrows came from the enemy side, but there are no casualties, the castle walls were constructed in such a way. Even the people who are stationed on the wall will not be attacked by the arrows as they have a clear hiding spots.

But the arrows that were shot are set on fire and they set hay and some wooden equipment on fire within the castle.

Sam didn"t worry too much, it is easy to put off the fire with this many people and the damage is not severe. But he is thinking of what to do next.

How to cause more chaos in the enemy camp that they would feel like retreating and abandoning the post.

He sat in his room and kept on thinking and didn"t notice that the fireplace was not burning, he forgot to load the wood in and the room turned cold. But he didn"t notice it, he only noticed until the oil in the lamp was frozen and the light reduced by a lot.

He once again made a fire and heated the lamp a bit to get the light and went into deep thought.

He immediately went to check all the provisions they have.

The oil they are using in the lamps is made the mixture of the excess fat of some sea creatures. The city they are in actually a seash.o.r.e city. This came as a surprise to him as he didn"t expect that.

The oil was actually made of seal fat and Polar bear fat. Even though they could use it to make lard the fat of all the sea creatures is not that tasty, and in this time, they have way too much of that, they could use it for lamps, other than cooking.

The people who go hunting or fishing will collect animal fats and the delicious ones will be used for cooking but the no delicious ones will be made into fuel.

Sam checked the provisions and realized that the only abundant thing is this fat oil. Except for this, everything else has to be rationed. The people mostly rely on hunting and they will exchange those goods for the grain from other areas.

But since the nation is under war. The merchants are not so keen on entering and selling the grain.

Currently, the whole city is getting by on the fish and meat they could obtain. Some animals that are in hibernation are also making it easy for them to hunt.

So the oil is one of the largest resources they had at this moment and if they win the war and get the city back, then it is easy for them to recover the lost oil.

So, Sam didn"t hesitate anymore. He decided to trick them one more time.

The next day, there is chaos all over the castle and that is because the people are starving. Their rations are cut off because the food that was supposed to be for five days has burned and half of it was gone because of the last night"s fiery arrows.

And by sheer coincidence, the news came out and went into the ears of the enemies.

The enemies immediately took the opportunity and marched forward.

There is a lot of empty s.p.a.ce around the castle for a few hundred meters, separating it from the rest of the city, and the enemies are stationed there.

Now they marched forward trying to use the chaos once again.

But as soon as they came forward and reached the vicinities of the castle, they noticed something is not right.

The soldiers on the castle walls made another rain, this time it is the oil rain and some archers are already in positions with fiery arrows.

As soon as the oil landed they shot the arrows.

The fur coats in the wild really do help them with the cold, but they easily catch fire.

The soldiers of the enemies are all huddled together in the area as they are trying to burst through the castle door.

This caused the fire to spread quickly, but the familiar barrels came down once again and this time they are full of oil.

Generally, the people here only use boulders from this top and wouldn"t use the means like setting people on fire and throwing hot water.

But Sam didn"t understand why. It is almost like these people only knew how to fight and strategize with weapons and all, there is no thinking of using the circ.u.mstances and such.

Anyway, Sam didn"t care, he almost finished the current task. Now that enemy camp is in chaos, the soldiers on the walls worked on full swing, the boulders, the oil barrels, the fire arrows and normal arrows, spears all went out of the castle walls like there is no end, even some commoners came and gave a hand in carrying the boulders and barrels up.

The enemy camp is chaos and there is no way they could regroup. The commander fell for such a little trick and it is clear that he had no experience in fighting wars of normal people. He was way too easy to fool and way too easy to defeat.

Sam almost felt like he is wasting his time. The war is over. Most of the enemies are injured or burned state, they cannot fight anymore and even the retreated forces cannot march forward. Now, even if the people from the castle opened the gates and met with a head-on collision, the enemies couldn"t retaliate, they would definitely die.

Sam felt the whole scene pause once again and a bright light enveloped him. He disappeared from the spot and reappeared on the empty land.

In this war, his casualties are nil, but he won. If this is not a great victory then he doesn"t know what is. So, he is pretty confident that he would directly reach the third round. But before that happened, he has to wait.

Wait until the rest of them finished their tasks and the winners are decided.
