Sam helped with the defense of the town whole night. By next morning, he couldn"t help but feel exhausted and want to sleep.
When Philip saw his exhausted state, he just let him go to sleep as he took over the repair of the wall.
He woke up after three hours of sleep.
When he came out, Watt came to him and asked.
"How about we just attack directly? Tomorrow, Yanwu and the rest will have their cultivation unsealed. I have Falck too. We can just attack one side with overwhelming advantage and get this over with. We would be sitting ducks like this."
"My main concern is not the Minotaurs. If it was only Minotaurs I would have done the same, we wouldn"t even need to wait for Yanwu and the rest to unseal.
I don"t want an overwhelming victory at this moment. I need the war to go step-by-step. That is why, I am waiting for an opening. Not a victory with force."
"Why?"
"By this point I am extremely clear that this war is not related to this town having good crops and not for agricultural yield.
The three people I mentioned before, the ones that are activating the Catapults, they are most likely from realm of undead and even the people operating the catapults are some sort of undead creatures. They don"t any vitality.
This whole war is being directed by undead realm residents and they want something from this town.
We don"t know too many details. I am waiting for the shadow mice to unseal, then we might learn something.
But one thing I am sure is that if we overwhelm the victory out of this and we, the people will get noticed by the upper echelons of the people behind this war and we would be bringing more harm than good to this town.
If not for the fact, that the commander and the town head are ignoring us, I wouldn"t have been this forceful and let us get noticed even this much.
Before we take any drastic action, we have to clearly know what goals the opponents have.
Anyway, we couldn"t be too confident about this. Once the other two sides learn that we attacked one side with overwhelming strength, they would definitely take advantage.
There are just too many dangerous factors.
First, let them manufacture enough crossbows. They would be helpful and then we would take action. We can directly go and take down one side while the other two sides defend themselves. No matter what, I would like to end this within the next week.
Even if the new troops join them, I wouldn"t let these troops stay here."
But the next moment, a soldier came running to Sam and reported something, which made him feel stunned.
He and Watt took off on their hover boards and went to take a look beyond the walls.
Like the past night, the troops really retreated back, but now there is a large scale movement outside the wall and when they saw what is happening, they are dumbfounded.
There are so many beasts running towards the wall.
The beasts are running straight without any attacks and smashed into the wall.
The soldiers on the Crossbows are shooting desperately. But no beast is dodging. They are all welcoming the spears to shoot and impale them.
They seemed to be in an extreme mood.
One of the beasts was even impaled into the ground by the spear, but it struggled so much that a chunk of flesh was torn apart from the body and still ran forward.
Sam used his eye technique to see what is wrong with them. No matter what, no beast would behave like that in a normal situation. But when he saw the energy waves that are coming, he was dumbfounded. Because, he is extremely familiar with those energy waves, they belong to undead.
But these beasts are not regular undead. They do have death energy and their elemental powers disappeared. But they still have their sentience which is only possible for some high-grade undead. Normal necromancer can"t even imagine doing that.
He now knew what is happening, the person or people controlling these things only gave them one task. To smash the wall.
Sam looked at them and sighed. He really didn"t want to use the grenades this time as they are too eye-catching. Even the cross-bows that are extremely large are still within the scope where dwarves can make them. But grenades are out of reach to any race within this continent.
But the current situation is leaving him with not much choice.
He waved his hand and six shadows appeared. Two beasts, a merman, a naga, a Yaksha and a Minotaur. Sam is already considering changing them. But he couldn"t find a good enough shadow.
As soon as they are summoned they jumped over and landed on some beasts. Their job is not kill them, rather it is to absorb all the death energy in the beasts so that they could feed on it and grow stronger.
As for stopping them, there is not much he can change by interfering too much. He could through a few grenades, but the beasts that too damage would definitely come again.
"Ask the earth element users to grow spikes on the wall."
That is only thing Sam said and he gave a s.p.a.ce jade with grenades to Watt.
"Throw them to shadows one by one. They might make some damage."
With that he went back to Veer"s house and entered the divine dimension.
He took half of the remaining ordinary metals used for crossbows and started making them in his production unit.
He is really getting sick of dragging this. He would rather take risk of them launching a fullscale in the morning that sitting ducks and he stayed inside till night.
By the time he came out, he has around hundred crossbows.
Sam sent them to the walls. By this time, the armor production was done and the crossbow production was also almost finished. Even if they want to do anything else, they wouldn"t be able to at this movement.
He went to fields and started checking. With the sheer number of crossbows, if the people here still failed to defend for another night, he would be wasting his efforts here.
In fact, they can even turn the tide over.
He waited to hear the sounds of explosions and attacks. But there is actually nothing. The enemies are silent and even the dwarven troops didn"t do anything.
The beasts are the only ones still crashing and raging as new beasts are continuously adding to their troops.
The crossbows are all busy shooting the beasts and shadows are still having their feast.
Sam returned to the house and saw the dwarves are all leaving. They are going to join the battlefield since the production is done.
He decided to find a way to use that grey stone for now.
But as soon as he sat down in the room, he felt something is wrong and felt like someone is watching him.
Sam jumped from the spot and somersaulted in the air and landed. There is a pale young man standing with his arm extended towards the spot where Sam sat on two seconds ago.
Sam took out a staff and attacked, but the young man dodged.
He is none other than the young man who activated the catapults.
Sam chased after the young man continuously as they fought in the house. The man is using all the dark element spells, like corrosion, curses and many other.
But Sam dodged them with ease. But he couldn"t find an opening to close the distance.
The whole house is suffering the brunt of the attack. After finding no success in physical attacks, Sam resorted to the fire element. He didn"t want to cause too much damage but only now did he notice that there is no one else residing beside this house.
The whole street is empty.
Sam left all his inhibitions and attacked in full force. The staff threw large amount of golden flames with every swing and the golden flames took the form of a golden crow as they flew towards that young man.
The young man who seems to be unusually agile couldn"t dodge the continuous attacks and blocked it with his arms.
There are slight burn marks in his arms as he looked at Sam and spoke.
"You are good. Better than I thought, it is a good thing that I didn"t come here alone."
Sam widened his eyes and sensed the threat, a burst of frost was being shot at him from the side and Sam shot a jet of flames to defend against it.
The attacks are neutralized and there is a woman standing there. She is the second person who is activating the catapults on the second side and Sam also sensed the third presence. Another young man came out of his hiding.
