Chapter 1521: Crystals
The sphere cannons were prepared at various spots around the city wall.
Even though they are mostly automatic and are controlled by the spirits that are enchanted to it, Sam still has basic control of them.
He activated the sphere cannons and moved the barrels a bit so that they would be at a specific angle when they are shooting at the wolves.
Currently, eight cannons on each side of the wall are aiming at the wolves.
Sam sat on one side of the wall as he took out an inscription pen and started drawing something on the spheres.
These are neutral energy spheres and he is drawing inscriptions at a rapid pace. It took more than three minutes to complete one and he had to draw those inscriptions on eight spheres for each wolf.
It took more than two hours for him to be done with all of them and in these two hours, there are a bunch of undead hives that are shot over.
Sam looked at these black beehive-shaped things fly over his head as they landed on the estate. He cannot help but shake his head.
These undead hives are actually an incomplete product of his. They are at a very raw stage and they are not really useful for causing serious damage. He made them with Zoi termites as an inspiration and they are mostly used for sucking the vitality of the living things.
They might be good at their job, but they are very fragile and weak.
So weak that he deemed them useless. He can only assume that Sivan might have been fooled by what they could have been and didn't focus too much on what they are now.
If he was in Sivan's place, as soon as he activated the wolves and made the formation fluctuate, he would have used something like the Energy cracker to bombard the city and the estate.
That would be the best way to go. But Sivan is using undead hives as if he has nothing else.
He shook his head and went on to prepare to deal with the wolves.
Meanwhile, back in the camp.
In the past few hours, while Sam was working on the spheres that could help him with the situation at hand, the camp is filled with chaos.
The soldiers that are brought in after the undead creatures exploded in their faces are suffering from excruciating pain.
The healers kept on using healing spells and all kinds of purification techniques so that they could find a way to ease their pain.
But the curses are not going anywhere.
They constantly injected vitality into their bodies to make them feel better, but now the healers are feeling exhausted.
Particularly in the past hour. They tried their best to suppress the curses, but they ran out of energy by then and left one of the soldiers on an anaesthetic before they went to recover. But what they don't know is as soon as they left the tent. The soldier's body started twitching.
Soon, white crystals started popping out of his body and before anyone could even notice what is happening, he is already consumed by the crystal.
The other soldier who saw this was stunned. He is one of the few who didn't get affected by the curses too much and he ran forward.
He touched the bone structure and yelled.
"What is happening here? Healers."
He started yelling out and the healers turned to notice them.
The healers who noticed this were also stunned and they came running.
"What happened? How did he become like this all of a sudden?"
The healer that went to take a rest after putting this guy to sleep was stunned.
He went on to the crystal and started smashing it up.
"Sir, what are you doing? What if he gets hurt?"
"Hurt? He should be alive to get hurt."
The healer kept on crazily smashing it, but no matter how much he tried to do it, he wasn't able to find the body of the soldier. In the end, he injured himself and let the shards of the crystal enter his system.
While everyone is focusing on that soldier. Something else happened somewhere else.
Another soldier in the corner of the tent also started being consumed with the crystal.
Then another one and then another one.
All the healers jumped to the action and one of the soldiers that is standing guard went to inform Sivan about it.
Sivan came back running in fear as he looked at the tent full of white crystals in places of the beds.
He felt terrified by the sight. He cannot wrap his head around the situation and felt anxious.
"What the fuck happened here?"
He grabbed the collar of the healer nearby and asked him.
But the healer didn't know what is happening. He shivered in fright as he tried to explain himself.
But another soldier who is sitting on the side also started turning into a crystal. One of the soldiers who is feeling well went and tried to check up on him along with another healer, but they couldn't help it.
All they did was have some wounds in the palms. The soldier was swallowed by the crystal.
The healer and the soldier failed.
Sivan looked around at the tent as he felt like something weird is happening.
All of a sudden, he thought of how Sam just sent the undead and golems there to waste some time and explode.
"I should have known. Why would that cunning bastard, just waste some time out of blue? I really should have known."
He muttered to himself as he widened his eyes in despair. For some reason, he felt like puking his guts out.
The pain almost felt physical for him.
He turned to his subordinate and said.
"Quarantine this whole thing. I don't want anyone in or out of this area. All of the soldiers will be quarantined and the healers make sure that you figure out the reason. I don't care what it takes, but I want a cure for this."
"Yes, Sir."
The healers answered meekly.
Sivan went out and he looked at the Gaja estate angrily. He really felt the urge to destroy them immediately.
He looked through the list of the equipment, he had and found something that he wanted to use.
"Call for the Light Chamber formation. Send the Grand elders to arrange the formation themselves. Every node should be put at the same time and they shouldn't go out unless they are in pairs.
Take Divine league members' help."
He ordered directly. His subordinates ran around as they passed on his orders.
Meanwhile, back in Gaja city, Sam went to different spots where the canons are located to target the wolves.
He created a special communication hub for the operators and kept in contact with them.
Before he started the plan, he looked at Gail and Gamin, before saying.
"I want you guys to be quick after this. I need you to find the thing I told you about within a few moments after the wolves are destroyed. I don't want the inner parts to be damaged and before the other party realizes what is happening, you should bring them to me."
"Don't worry. All four of them are moving out. There is not a chance that we will miss this thing."
"Great then. Let me get this done."
Sam spoke and took out the communication device.
"Now shooting teams. Get ready.
The things that are you tackling currently. The wolves are currently weakening the formation and this constant fluctuation will soon turn into permanent damage. So, I want you guys to deal with it.
You are going to destroy these devices that are specifically made to deal with the dome that has been saving your clan and the city for the past few days.
For all, all you have to do is, simultaneously shoot the sphere cannons. On every side, all of the cannons needed should be fired at the same time and there shouldn't even be a fraction of the second disparity.
If you have that disparity, then you will have some serious trouble, because these wolves are very much connected and if one of them explodes while the other survives, the good one will discharge all of its energy onto the formation.
Even if it doesn't destroy too much, it will definitely kill a few people and soldiers that are on one side.
Your job is to make sure that it doesn't happen."
All of the soldiers felt like they have a bigger responsibility than they could bear all of a sudden.
They don't want to bear this, they are all getting cold feet.
"You are chosen for this because you are the best long-range attackers in the whole clan. If you cannot do this, no one else can.
Your clan leader agrees to that. I just hope that you are not too much of coward to back down from this."
