Sam didn’t wake up for the whole night.

He just slept like that and only woke up the noon next day.

As soon as he woke up, he could hear the loud thuds and crashes. The war is still going on. The attacks became relentless. Sam stretched his body. He is still feeling a slight headache as he walked out slowly. He didn’t take harbinger and just walked to the nearby wall.

Just after he crossed the street, all the surrounding people scrammed away. Sam looked around to see all his beasts coming towards him.

He was worried about them. He thought they might have gone on a rampage because of his condition, but they didn’t which is to his relief.

They wouldn’t care about the rules of the war and will attack everyone that is on their way to take revenge.

Sam sat on Dia as they moved. Rest of the beasts shapeshifted into smaller forms. After that, they met with Watt and the rest of the teammates to make sense of the situation.

From what they are saying, the attacks didn’t stop. Last night after Sam fainted, the catapults once again started their action.

The attacks are relentless and in the morning, after the sun rose the beasts increased, even the Grand realm and Great realm beasts are hitting the walls. The earth element users are trying their best to defend the wall and repair it continuously.

Sam gave them instructions and currently their main priority is watching the fields. There is no way they could last long enough if the food supply didn’t last.

Ape is still working on the beer. But this time, the target was changed.

The beer aimed to be diluted of the spiritual energy, diluted enough for the low-level cultivators to consume it.

The low-grade wheat reserves are currently running out and even though the Medium grade wheat was still available, as they didn’t send the harvest out. But normal people couldn’t consume it.

Generally, the harvest from the nearby towns would have made it easy for them to sustain, but not all the harvested wheat didn’t reach this place before the Minotaur’s attacks.

Sam pondered on how to get through this crisis and reached the town heads mansion.

He didn’t stop when the guards blocked him. He just went directly to the office room of the town head and sat down.

"Last night I was attacked by three vampires. I was told it was a war for territory, but it didn’t seem like it. You told me that the reinforcements will arrive, but they didn’t. I would like to know some information.

What kind of war is going on right now? How long should we last? What is the situation in the rest of the dwarven territory? I want the information. Otherwise, I will leave with my friends and all the things I made."

Sam said calmly to the town head.

As soon as he said that, the room door opened and the commander ran in as he looked at Sam. Seeing that there is nothing wrong and they are just talking, he heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the Townhead.

"What is the problem?"

"He wants the information from the headquarters."

Commander shook his head in exhaustion.

"Just come with me, I will tell you everything you need."

Sam walked out and gave the silent town head one last look before leaving.

He felt like this town head is more like a puppet, he is extremely unresponsive and he didn’t even give any orders regarding the war. He just hid in this mansion and the last time he saw him was when he took care of the documents regarding Veer’s property.

Other than that, he was not seen in any other situation in this war.

"What do you want to know?"

Sam repeated his questions and the commander sighed.

"We just got the news a few days ago, that someone from the undead realm is involved in this, but we don’t know exactly how.

We don’t even know the existence of the undead realm a few days ago.

But currently, we cannot expect any reinforcements.

All the villages are currently under attack and most of them are under enemy control. Not just minotaurs, even the orcs are acting against us.

We lost almost all routes and only a few villages are under our control.

The attacks from both sides are extremely aggressive.

After we found out that the people are turning undead, we sent the news back, but there is not much response, they are just trying their best to deal with the situation. They said we just have to hold on until they are done.

After that, there is not even any response for all the messages we sent, we don’t even know if the messages we sent reached them or not.

But the last message they sent is that we should not let the town go no matter what and they also mentioned that the troops will be never-ending for the next few months, the whole Minotaur race and Orc race are moving. This is just the start."

Sam nodded and went to the wall. He estimated as much.

He knew that there is something wrong with the situation, but he doesn’t know how long the wall would last. But from the looks of it, the dwarves and the humans got better at repairing it and they are even making it stronger.

They are even using the undead beasts to their advantage as their corpses are also acting as barricades for the wall after they are turned into pieces due to constant damage.

If the opposite troops tried to clear the corpses, they are becoming easier targets for the crossbows.

The vampires didn’t act again because Sam is sure that she would take a long time to recover from the current damage.

Anyway, the current situation is not extremely bad. Due to the extra crossbows and the improvement in their activity, both sides are extremely balanced.

From what he saw yesterday and the prowess of the vampires he changed his mind and created a new plan.

He decided to take advantage of the current balance and prepare for the larger tide. He called for his friends and immediately started making preparations.

Every morning, they fought against the undead beasts and even the undead created by the dead bodies of the Minotaurs and the other humans in the enemy troops.

And every night, the catapults are also added to the beasts.

The only problem here is that the spears are diminishing due to the war. Now they are making spears out of the junk metal and even recovering them.

Every flying type beast and even the beasts that are hitting the walls also became a resource as they made spears with their bones.

Every day, they have a small interval of time when the catapults have retreated and the undead start their attack and in that short interval, the dwarves will go to recover the spears and some of the dead bodies. After collecting the bones, they just dumped the beast carcass directly at the wall.

The vampires must have not thought things through when they decided to attack with this method, but this is the most cost-effective method they have to attack on such a large scale.

If not for the fact, Sam made sure to identify the problem and started repairing the wall, the wall would have already been broken and they would have been open to the attacks easily.

Sam called for all the artisans and his friends and started the plan.

For the next two months, the war went along at the same pace. In these two months, they maintained the balance and didn’t attack rashly.

There are some skirmishes between the pre-transcendent stage cultivators. But there are no large-scale attacks.

The troops of enemies and the dwarves both reduced a bit, but the enemies’ troops are far more affected and the new troops are coming constantly.

Ape produced something equivalent to beer and most of the commoners had to change to the liquid diet.

After some trials and experiments, Sam did figure out a solution for the food problem and that is his divine dimension, he started growing wheat inside. And with the usage of formations, the low-grade wheat could be grown.

Due to the reduction of the maturing time, the food problem is solved as soon as the farming technique was succeeded.

His friends had gotten great training within this place and the town is in a relatively stable condition when compared to the initial stages of the war.

The only problem is that he couldn’t give a possible explanation of where the wheat is coming from.

Apart from that, there is no other problem. Even the town head came in and thanked Sam. It turned out that this guy is just a puppet and one of the council elders is using him. He has no experience and is just a youngster with a timid personality.

He was completely shocked and devastated. He knew that he is here due to connections, except for the strong front he kept on when Sam entered the town, he didn’t know how to manage the current war situation. He was ecstatic when the first attack was solved with Sam’s help, but the attack from three sides is something beyond his reach and capabilities. That is why he is not involved and he hid as he couldn’t bear the guilt of destroying the lives of all these people.

He hid this all from Sam, as he feared Sam might take over the town if he became greedy and knew the town head was weak, there are instances similar to this in the past, but Sam didn’t care much about this, he just continued with this plan.

And with these two months’ worth of preparation, he is confident to face any kind of situation. He created a defense plan that could easily fend off the enemies unless the enemy is of transcendent stage cultivation or higher, or if the whole army of orcs and MInotaurs didn’t come and attack, they could manage the situation.
