Chapter 650: Town under siege
Sam and his friends went through the things of the Minotaurs. There are spatial storages around Minatours’ hands.
And most of them consisted of some high-grade wheat bread. Sam and his friends started eating the bread as they felt the seal on them loosening. Their strength would be returned faster if they could eat a large amount of this bread which is not exactly easy to obtain.
They waited for the villagers to run away bit by bit. But they stayed for the night and planned on what to do.
They got some details from an experienced villager and found the directions for the nearest town of the Dwarven territory where nascent stage cultivators of the dwarves will be guarding and that place might be the nearest battlefield of the Minotaurs and the Dwarves.
They also learned that the twenty or so villages are all under that town and that town’s plantation is the largest agricultural land in the surroundings and they can even get some Medium grade wheat bread and even some corn and other foods of Medium grade as the land is more fertile than here.
They decided to move to that town.
But they would have to bypass the Minatours’ camp and enter that place and once they did that, they would be able to get more food of high-quality and would be able to eat.
Even though they have spiritual stones, they are not exactly that useful in this place as the natural suppression of the cultivation also applies to the spirit stones which are natural treasures of spiritual energy.
They checked with their own spirit stones. Normally, they would absorb at least eighty percent of the energy that is flowing outside and twenty percent would be a natural waste as it would be dissolved into the environment, but now they could barely absorb ten to twenty percent.
Except for foods, they wouldn’t be able to recover any energy normally much less improve in cultivation.
Sam and his friends decided to stay in this place for six months at least. After they got the next location for the Palace of inheritance, they would move to that place and develop there.
But before that, they have to endure this and adapt to this place. Anyway, Sam and his friends all liked to have at least one meal a day. Even though it was their vanity that led them to do that, they can still get used to a place like this.
After searching through the village and the village head mansion, they got some more things. There is a lot of medium-grade wheat and flour in the pantry of the village head mansion.
From what they observed until now, there are not too many spatial storages in this world. Even though half of the Minotaurs have them, their storage is extremely small and the space is not exactly large. They can barely keep some important rations and due to the consumption rate of these fellows, the rations would be at most sufficient for a week to ten days.
They might have wanted to use this village as one of the supply points to them and that is also why they arranged for villagers to start farming the very next moment after they sacked the village.
Sam his friends stole everything before leaving.
They exited the village and entered the forest. Sam is really impressed by this thick vegetation. There are many types of fruit trees in the forest. Although most of them are grades weaker than what Sam has in his personal grove within the divine dimension, there are still many.
The land is really too fertile and he can clearly understand why the Minotaurs wanted to invade this place. The amount of vegetarian food they consume is extremely high and they would need a place like this to develop properly. The minotaur land is not this fertile.
And the dwarven territory is the complete opposite, the deeper they go into their territory, the more fertile it is.
As for the orcs, they mostly live in forests and they don’t perform any agriculture and such.
They will hunt and eat the meat, they will come to other territories once in a while and sneak into the hunt and leave when they had their fill. They never cared about the proper method of living.
Sam and his friends didn’t go on a proper route and traveled in the forests as they moved towards the town.
Once they are there, they would be able to get their hands on the higher-grade wheat and bread as they have many things to sell.
One of them is wine. Sam has so much wine on him. The ape’s best hobby is to experiment with fruits and herbs to create more wines of different wines and intensities.
He made many hard liquors, mellow wines and he is also close to brewing something that is close to classic vodka. He is almost out of ideas due to the severe lack of ingredients.
When Sam threw that fruit tree from the Vronti in, he became extreme ecstatic and after giving three fruits to Arman for his breakthrough, the rest of it was made into a special wine, and the tree was transplanted.
Sam decided to exchange the wine for the goods he needed.
After two days of constant travel, they finally arrived at the place.
They are in the vicinities of the town area and the whole town is surrounded by a large wall-mounted by many dwarves.
The dwarves are using different weapons and there are many archers on the walls along with some humans as they launched attacks on the Minotaurs.
The Minotaurs also made some tents in the vicinity as they tried their best to attack the dwarves and the town wall.
Even though it is called a town, it is large and wide. It is more like an average-sized city.
They looked at the situation from afar.
There could see hundreds of Minotaurs trying to get into the city. Minotaurs don’t know anything other than fighting. They are good at accurately executing anything that required brute force.
Even the weapons they have are crudely made and they are not made by them. They used the human artisans and got these items.
But there are too few human artisans in this world as they have minimal growth in other areas other than farming.
But the dwarves are completely different. These short and stout guys are good at making things and their hands have extreme dexterity. Their strength is also good.
They make decent archers too. They are easily fending off the Minotaurs below the wall.
The Minotaurs are trying their best to get past the wall, but they couldn’t. From the looks of it, this might go on for the next few days. But after these few days, the people who are going to be suffering would be dwarves.
Because they don’t have any supply points. All the surrounding villages of this town are sacked and behind the village is the forest.
Their supplies of the low-grade wheat and food were all from the surrounding villages and even the weapons and other supplies that came from the council should pass through some of these villages. Now that they are occupied by the minotaurs, there is no way they could come. That is why the Nascent stage Minatours came and occupied the villages decisively.
They wanted to drag the war and deal with the dwarves in this town and occupy it.
Once they occupied this place, they will have access to larger fields and Sam also heard they have a decent-sized pasture with some types of pigs and cows.
But currently, they have to find a way to get inside the town.
They stayed in the forest for the night, trying to find any possible openings they can.
After searching through the night, they couldn’t find any opening. Even the stream connecting the town and the forest is actually barred with a large metallic frame. It didn’t hinder the stream of water to go in rather it hindered any foreign body to go through the stream.
There are only three ways to enter right now. One of them is forcing their way in, which the dwarves certainly wouldn’t like.
The second one is trying to gain the dwarves’ favor and help them fend off these minotaurs.
The last one is to circle through the forest and find another route through another village where the attack is not so intense.
The first one is out of the question.
The second one is plausible but they have to use some means to communicate with them.
The last one will take several days.
After discussing between themselves, they finally decided to go for the second option and they already started their planning.
The first step in the plan is to contact the dwarves in the town.
For that, they first made a video with the recording crystal and let a Silver pigeon out. They don’t know if the resistance also applied to the beasts, but after taking out the pigeon their worries came true.
If the silver pigeon was able to fly, it can escape the arrows and attacks of the dwarves and enter the city with the recording crystal. But it clearly cannot at this moment. If they used the local beasts, they are too big and too easily identified.
After thinking long and hard, they finally have an idea.
But for this, they have to use Chatur and his ability and also the stream that is connected to the town.
