Chapter 521: Trap
Chapter 521: Trap
Sam deliberately beat the crap out of the son of the commander in front of all the soldiers in the camp. He didn’t even speak at all, and when someone tried to stop him all he needed was a single cold look and they would shut their mouths.
Everyone heard how he was able to complete the mission and brought back five hundred heads of the enemies. Many of them admired him very much, but they are also afraid of him.
So no one was able to help out the pitiful son of the regiment commander.
As for the battalion commander that has strength and authority to stop him, he is none other than Yodha himself, why would he bother to stop his business partner beating up a son of a Regiment commander?
Does the regiment commander even have balls to question him? Even the general of the border wouldn’t dare to do so. Much less him.
So, the gossip spread all over the camp and many of them particularly the woman folk of the army is rejoicing at such a sight of this person.
But this time, the regiment commander flared up again. The next morning, the usual bell of the morning assembly didn’t ring in the companies of Sam and Arman. The soldiers were secretly ordered to assemble before the regular time.
Both Sam and Arman who are soldiers of two adjoining companies are delayed, so the regimental commander who was ‘coincidentally’ making rounds saw their tardiness and punished them with flogs.
Both of them didn’t even utter a single word of apology or explanation, they just bore with the flogging without defending with spiritual energy. Sam was fine. His skin barely reddened. But Arman’s skin cracked and the muscle fiber could be seen through the blood that is seeping out.
Sam treated him and gave him medicine, after that both of them immediately went to search for the commander’s son.
Regiment commander’s son is still in the same company, his father didn’t dare to bypass Yodha and transfer him and if he really gave him some safe and biased mission not only would their original goal of gaining merits would be gone, but also Yodha will use this opportunity to grill him up in front of the superior officers.
So, all he can do is make sure that Sam would stay in control and subdue to his authority.
But he doesn’t know that there would be very few people under the skies that can be as stubborn as him.
When Arman and Sam were being flogged, the commander’s son is looking at him gloatingly and only left the place after getting the cold stare from Sam.
He immediately ran off to look for missions and escape temporarily so that before he could come back, his father would torture them both and make them beg him for forgiveness.
But before he could rejoice, his thoughts were interrupted by Sam and Arman.
They didn’t wait for even the discussing crowds to disperse before they got for revenge, this is something that no one expected.
Sam held the young Naga by his braid and dragged him like a dog to the middle of the ground where he was flogged.
Sam took out two metallic staves and gave one to Arman. Both of them stood on either side and filled the staves with lightning elemental energy.
Commander’s son was stunned and was about to say something, but before he could he hurriedly tried to defend himself with all his energy condensed in his arms and guarded his face.
Bu the expected hit that was thrown by Sam didn’t land, instead Arman who is on the other side landed a serious hit on his legs.
The commander’s son couldn’t help but kneel and scream in agony.
And just like that he received twenty flogs from both Sam and Arman in the middle of everyone and even his battle armor was ripped apart by the hits. The medics were surprised when they saw the wounds, none of them are critical but they are extremely painful.
The regiment commander got the news and almost destroyed the whole ten in anger, the next day, he found another petty reason to not only punish both of them, but they are also given another mission.
They have to go to another obvious area, where the nascent army of the enemy nation will be laying their base camp.
This was sent along with an elite team who are obviously on the commander’s side. When Yodha protested, the regiment commander heaped praises over Sam and Arman about their two missions and forcefully sent them before they could have a chance to get back at his son.
When the mission started, they were as expected betrayed discreetly by sending them to a wrong place deliberately.
The rest of the team are waiting for them to die and confirm, but what they saw is that the whole area soon started burning and there are explosions of golden flames, wind blades, silver lightning crackling all over.
Finally, the whole grassland was burning and from within the flames, Sam and Arman came walking with some wounds and burn marks on their bodies.
Their eyes showed killing intent and didn’t even wait for the team to say anything superficial to escape the responsibility and started a killing spree.
Sam deliberately left ten people alive and out of them he chose five of them and took out a recording crystal discreetly and made them kill the remaining five.
He then showed the recording to them and forced them to obey what was said. Then he gave them wounds that would make them a convincing sight and brought them back to the base.
All of them sang the same song and the regiment commander gritted his teeth, he couldn’t help but want to kill Sam right there and then, but he couldn’t. What agony he has to endure?
As he was already feeling extremely angry, Sam once again poured out a heap of heads, and this time, even the five members that were deliberately left alive also took out some.
But they only around ten to twenty, while Sam has more than a hundred of the heads.
For the next two weeks, Sam was being punished and kept on being sent on missions and wasn’t able to get a hold of the commander’s son.
This is already the fourth month of his stay and his factory construction was also about to be completed, he also learned that Yodha just sped up the production by temporarily using his estate as the production, he even came and got an extra load of gas cylinders from Sam.
Yodha’s plan is to reap the first profits by taking advantage of the war that is about to go into the full scale in the next few days, from the looks of it, it wouldn’t take more than ten days for the war to blow out of proportion.
So, Yodha planned to use this perilous time to make some money. He also needs to get approval from the general which made him quite busy and this gave the regiment commander to flex his authority a bit.
Sam didn’t care though. He went on the mission that is too absurd for a Nascent stage cultivator along with Arman.
These missions as dangerous as they may be, are all credit farms for Sam. After a few teams got destroyed in Sam’s hands, the regiment commander learned his lesson and didn’t dare to send anyone else with Sam.
He just unreasonably sent both of them on missions.
But every time, they came back with bodies full of wounds as if they are on verge of death, but they would always get recovered in one evening as if nothing happened.
The worst part is apart from completing the mission, Sam surpassed the conditions by leaps and bounds. He and Arman brought back hundreds of dead bodies and soon, they came to a conclusion that Sam alone killed almost a battalion worth of people in this war.
He is just a few dozen away from making a battalion, while Arman was at half the battalion range.
Their credits have already surpassed many others by leaps and bounds.
Apart from that, there would also be mission completion credits and at the end of the war, there would also be contribution credits and they will also surely get promoted.
Even though the regiment commander is trying to take revenge, he wasn’t able to do anything, instead, he was giving them opportunities.
This also increased the regiment commander’s pettiness that surprised the rest of the commanders and advisors around him. Finally, it seemed like he couldn’t take it anymore and plotted with another shameless scheme.
That night, when Sam is inside his tent and playing with the bee puppet to think of ways to improve his next design, a woman ran inside hurriedly and laid down a formation disc that would block them from outside, before hurriedly tearing her clothes off.
Sam didn’t even bother to move from his bed and just threw an attack at the formation disc destroying it, but the regiment commander is faster than he thought and reacted before he could make his move.
