Chapter 1122: Ambush
Chapter 1122: Ambush
Brother One didn’t think that all the businesses he had would be gone like this. The businesses he had with the subordinate organizations are gone, but he could still grit his teeth and endure it since it is for the future plans to succeed. And the greater the damage Sam did, the greater the pursuit of the other branches would be when the two young masters died eventually.
But now that the businesses that are the core of his entire growth were damaged, he couldn’t help but feel distressed.
He wanted to rip Dayus into pieces for getting him hooked with Sam like this. But before he could even open his mouth, he got a summons from the Branch head once again and this time he has to go there instantly.
Dayus understood the scenario and wanted to escape from this place. He knew that he blew the plan up too much for his own good.
But Brother one is not done with him.
He called for his guardian and said.
“Don’t let him go from here. Keep a close eye on him.”
The guardian simply blocked Dayus from going anywhere. Dayus’s cultivation is only at the Peak stage Pre-transcendent level of the Astral Plane. There is no way he could contend with a guardian at Late stage transcendent level.
He could only stay down calmly.
Brother One went to the branch head and came back after an hour.
His face is gloomy and he is clearly angered by something. But he didn’t speak of what happened as he called for his entourage.
“We are going to the last visit. Let’s go.”
The guardian frowned and asked.
“Young Master, the current situation is not good. We need to remedy the situation with the armory and the medicines.”
“I know that too. But due to my incompetence, the businesses were ‘temporarily taken over by the organization and I will be ‘supervised’ by a special trainer who is already experienced in the business.”
The guardian became furious after hearing this. He is the guardian that is only loyal to Brother One and not the puppet organization. He has seen the young man try his best to grow these businesses with his blood and sweat.
But now they are trying to devour him because of one mistake.
He really wanted to beat the crap out of everyone there.
While he is thinking Brother One continued.
“Apart from that, the organization already made a special plan in the last location, they cannot withdraw it now. So, we need to go there no matter what.”
With that, all of them moved and Dayus was specially escorted while the guardian held his hand. He didn’t even let go when they are in public.
Dayus knew he was in trouble.
They went to the visit and are going to stay there are for a few days.
After arriving at the location once again the news was spread. Even though they are both far away, the news was even spread in the capital.
Sam couldn’t help but smile at the tricks of the puppet organization. They are so desperately trying to lure him that they didn’t even bother covering up their desperation.
But Sam didn’t care, because he has his own plan this time. And he is even bringing Tamas and Vidyut who were stationed to help with Kiran with him. Kiran was left alone. So, Sam gave him a bunch of transference scrolls and liquid energy cells, and so on. Anyway, Kiran is the master of disguise and escape. So, he is not completely worried.
As soon as squad 2 which is responsible for the final feigning attack was moved, Sam also moved. This time he didn’t wait for the young master to depart from there and went after one mine after another with the team. When they arrived at the last target mine, they finally understood what the other party’s plan is.
They stationed a special group of puppet masters in that area to deal with them.
Sam didn’t want to get into a fight with them as a bunch of Peak stage transcendent cultivators of Astral Plane are not that easy to mess with and he cannot confront them directly. Not after what he had in plan.
He took out a few puppets he recently made and started placing them around the mine area.
There are ten of them in total. After placing them, the team just sat back and got ready to watch the show.
Sam closed his eyes as he sat down on the ground and controlled his crystal table.
He activated the puppets through it.
The puppets are in the shape of a spider and as soon as they activated their legs started moving with the eyes glowing. The ten metallic spiders started moving around. The people hiding in the ambush don’t know about this and are still waiting for Sam and others to come.
From the previous investigation, they learned that Sam uses something to make people faint. They disguised themselves and waited in ambush as soon as the miners faint, they will make a move.
But what they don’t know is that Sam makes a clear investigation before he could even make a move and see if there are any anomalies.
And here these guys are the anomalies.
So, he is using a different method.
After spiders crawled to their desired locations, all the legs lodged into the ground and the head of the spider opened.
A barrel with a diameter of a few inches protruded and something is glowing in the middle of it.
Instantly light elemental energy beams were shot out of the barrel.
The ten people lying in the ambush noticed the sudden sense of danger but they were unable to react in time. So, they could only use their puppets to defend themselves.
The puppets were met with the continuous light energy beam that was shot towards them.
All the people that are lying in the ambush were targeted by either one of two light elemental beams.
Before they could make sense of the situation, the light elemental beam was diverted towards them leaving a large molten cut on the puppet’s body. They tried to block the beams with the help of rocks and another natural terrain, but nothing stopped the light elemental beam which acted like a laser beam.
The ambush was completely gone and the puppet organization members are trying to dodge the laser beam.
They took out their spare puppets and used them as an extra layers of shields while they hid behind them and started communicating.
One of them used a flying bird puppet to levitate and get a glimpse of what is attacking them.
When he noticed the locations of the spiders which are not properly visible due to the white light surrounding them, was already being targeted by the light beams, so he hurriedly descended but lost the bird puppet in the process.
After landing the puppet masters started discussing and decided on something.
One of them took out a large puppet that looked like a giant elephant, but with a much fatter and larger trunk. It raised the trust in one direction. The hollow trunk suddenly shot out something.
It looked like a metallic ball and flew in a large parabola before landing near the spider puppet.
The ball opened up to reveal a beetle puppet which moved towards the spider puppet and started using its mouth to tear the spider puppet apart.
But one of the legs moved and slashed down the bug puppet instantly.
Sam looked at the whole scene and was surprised. The giant elephant puppet kept on shooting these bugs in different directions. He couldn’t help but be impressed by the tactics and the skills of the other party.
Even though the bug puppets are weak, they are still numbered greatly, it is not easy for Sam’s puppets to deal with them while shooting constantly. So, he would be forced to attack the elephant puppet which seemed to have more defenses, even if he changed the focus of one puppet, then the people would have a chance to take a breather. One puppet master will escape and the situation would change.
But Sam didn’t bother to do that as he called for Vidyut and Night Ghost.
He really didn’t think he can deal with the puppet masters by himself with a few puppets, he merely wanted to test them as well as create a distraction and now that the distraction is successful, it is about time he launched the real attack.
Sam changed one of the spider puppet’s aims and targeted the elephant.
The puppet master immediately moved with his puppet as he moved towards that spider puppet to deal with it.
At this moment, Vidyut shot a cursed arrow at the moving puppet master while Sam redirected the aim of the spider puppet to him.
Sensing the threat from two different sides, he immediately became alert and got ready to defend himself, at this moment, Night ghost appeared from his hiding and used the soul binding technique making him unable to move.
The cursed arrow and the light elemental beam nodded, leaving a burned flesh wound as well as the curse that would cause unstoppable bleeding and sleep at the same time.
Night Ghost immediately left the spot as fast as he came and ran.
The rest of the puppet masters are all agitated by one of them falling and they took the risk to save his life.
