After checking the mechanisms and the thunder prison, the only thing left for Sam is to create something that can help him in the near future and for that, he has to use something the Arian Emperor gave him.
The feces of the fire type Level 7 beast.
When the emperor gave him the feces, he was still quite confused about how Sam would use something like this.
He passed the feces which are stored inside the spatial ring and asked.
"May I know what you are going to do with this? I am quite curious."
Sam didn’t reply and chuckled.
The Emperor might have even got the answer if he dumped all of this in a pit, but he stored it in a spatial ring as if it was a treasure, and judging from the size of the ring, it seemed to be quite a high grade one.
Sam just took the ring without answering and threw then inside the pit a large pit that was dug open by the ape.
After he closed the whole pit, he went on with designing something.
This time he started designing and simulating the designs on the second floor.
He has a lot to do and there is no way he is coming out anytime soon.
Meanwhile, the war started across all borders. The whole Orion is a restless state. Due to Sam’s actions, there is an extremely high deficit in the resources. The taxes increased and the citizens have to pay with materials, herbs, beast corpses, or any other form if they don’t have spirit stones.
It has already been two months since the beginning of the war and now they imposed the new war tax as an emergency measure.
Meanwhile, the artisans, the herb experts, mining experts, and so on are all trying to solve the problems that are caused by him.
They are trying to repair the lands and the mines. But the results are minimal. For metal mines, they know the problem, but they don’t know how to solve it without affecting the mines.
For the Blaze city, they even know the solution but the results will be devastating and it would take a long time to clean up the mess.
For the Herb village, they weren’t even able to figure out what the problem is. The lands just lost all vitality.
They tried doing many things like light elemental treatment and so on, but they weren’t able to see any progress.
After all, even though, these people did research on the beasts, they didn’t go so far as inspect and memorize the effects of the urine and excrements of the beasts.
They didn’t know how to react to the situation and even the worst part is that some officials and nobility in the southern star are still infected by the plague.
Remembering the lesson from the General Spark, they stopped trying to use the light elemental energy and only tried to suppress the plague by themselves.
Some are not able to withstand the effects and succ.u.mbed to their fates, but some people are able to suppress but there is another problem awaiting them and that is their battle effectiveness has decreased sharply.
They have to suppress the whole plague inside their bodies while holding their feet against their enemies.
This made them feel totally frustrated.
But they are still okay because for now, there are only small probing attacks from the high-level cultivators.
Because of this, they have some time to either get rid of the problem or to adapt to the problem.
Time passed.
Three months after the war started.
The war till now was just a passive sluggish one. The battles are not totally intense.
But now, the newly trained battalions from the Arian empire started entering the battle and now the war became aggressive.
The scale completely tipped and they are dealing with the Orion is having a very hard time dealing with them.
They didn’t know why there was so much difference all of a sudden.
But the southern star army knew this all too well. Because they saw these techniques and tricks before. They knew this way of fighting. They experienced this style of opponents.
This is the same as Sam’s battalion.
They knew how efficient their methods are. Even though they can also do some of their attacks, they cannot get efficient usage and the adaptability just by copying.
The borders slowly started to shake and the balance was completely gone.
Orion is in the complete losing end. At least for the soldiers who are still in the Novice stage.
Orion commanders and the generals are starting to lose it. The worst part is that only the Marshalls are at the Borders, but the Emperor is still nowhere to be seen.
He is still in the imperial capital thinking over things. He is cursing Sam day in and out and he is just pushing the blame and responsibilities to the officials. When they tried to push him towards the responsibility, he only has one thing to say.
"I am the Emperor, if I have to do everything myself, why would I need you lot? You are being pathetic."
He is completely frustrated. He was an emperor for more than two decades and all the time, his life was extremely great, there was nothing he has to do except waiting for the taxes and riches, the only people he has to bow down are the people from the Thunder god temple.
But all of a sudden, all the problems came to him at the same time.
In an instant, his life became a living hell from heaven.
He didn’t know how to deal with the situation.
He didn’t think for once in his life that this day would come. All he knew that being an emperor will make him feel respected and make him the greatest person of the empire, but now, he was being tested.
Even before this, all the wars are small he was never needed to go to the border, now he was being pressured by the ministers and the Marshalls too.
And all of this was caused by Sam. He was cursing all the eighteen generations of Sam and is doing it so with all his heart.
While the Emperor is cursing, Sam just came out of the tower, it was a month since he entered the tower, which means he stayed more than three hundred days inside the tower.
He only came out occasionally when the emperor wanted to meet him.
Other than that, he was completely busy.
His latest invention was ready.
This is the most expensive and most complicated thing he has ever created since he entered this world.
And this thing used the Level 7 beast’s feces.
The first thing he did was obviously, create a Level 7 methane. Although some properties are different from the methane he created by the cattle type beasts, it still works and this methane has a high calorific value.
It burns with the same intensity as the fire of a Peak stage Nascent and that too if it was in its free state.
Things will be different if it is properly compressed. With the increase in pressure and using the gas as a jet, the intensity increased by many times.
After the methane is obtained, he used his wind element to compress the gas which gave him a high-intensity flame, which would give him the heat required to melt at least a low-grade, rank 7 material.
So, he started making things one by one. He created the biggest mold he created in this life and he used the deeper regions of the ice element zone in the tower as the molding material.
He dug out the shape he wanted and poured the molten metal inside.
The only advantage inside is the movement of objects within the dimension can be completed just with his will.
Otherwise, this wouldn’t even be finished.
He worked on this for more than three hundred days.
After everything is completed Sam came out.
After listening to the battle status, he knew that it was about time that the commanders and Generals entered the battle.
The frontlines are already under Arian’s control, at least in the battle between Novice soldiers.
It is about time; the next phase begins.
After discussing somethings with the emperor, Sam and his friends went back to their tent and discussed their plan.
The new invention Sam made requires multiple users. Four people are needed for it to join and it will be using a lot of power.
Sam has done a lot of hard work on it and it could be considered as the second most destructive invention he ever made.
After he made preparations for the training, so they could cooperate better, they trained for a whole day before coming out again.
Philip went to get that day’s battle reports and the next deployments.
When Jack saw the body count, he stayed still for a few seconds and asked.
"Why do these people have to die in this war? Wouldn’t it be over, if the emperors fight and the one who wins takes the other empire?"
Sam chuckled at the question and said.
"The meaning of war is not just about the comparison of the might of two parties.
It is also a test for an emperor’s ability. The emperor who invades has to prove that he has capabilities to lead them through this war and the emperor who decides has to prove that he can protect them.
Apart from that, it is also a baptism for the citizens. The soldiers who are essentially part of the citizens have to go through this and this will cause the people to feel that this empire is truly theirs, they would get the feeling that they truly belong to the empire and they have some contribution in the position their empire will be in.
It is necessary to have these requirements met if you want to have a stable empire.
If the emperor doesn’t lead them and just take over the empire by defeating the other emperor, all they would think is that it was an act of tyranny.
So, war is not a choice that one could make, it is a necessity."
