Novel Full Chapter 532 - Reporting
Sam reappeared in the middle of the path that is connecting the enemy base camp and his camp. He is very near to his camp. He heaved a sigh of relief but felt a little regretful that he has to use the scroll.
Now, there are only four scrolls left on him. But he knew that this is inevitable.
He has a choice to either to kill him or to escape. But to kill him, he has to use the more valuable cards like the hair strand or the guardian of the meteorite sand island. Or some other trump card. They are also consumables and he shouldn't use them carelessly.
So, he just left a gift for them and escaped. He knew that the energy cell wouldn't do enough damage to clear the whole base camp, but it is enough for him to at least make them feel a pinch for the loss.
He reached the destination within a few hours.
As soon as he entered the camp, he went looking for Yodha, but he learned that he is in the General's tent at this moment, he immediately went there.
Inside the general's tent all the commanders are already in a meeting and they seemed to be extremely serious.
At this moment, there is a letter on the main table that was sent by Sam. After Sam sent the spy back, they didn't directly reveal the contents to all the commanders, rather it was only done for the General and Yodha and they both contemplated whether to share this news earlier or later.
Due to this contemplation, they are currently having a meeting and are discussing on how to deal with it.
At this moment, a soldier came inside the tent and saluted as he said.
"Soldier Sam is back from the mission and requested an immediate meeting with the general."
Everyone was surprised, some of them sneered as they thought Sam came running as they didn't expect that he would be able to come back this fast if he really investigated anything.
Some of them are anticipating the news regarding this supposed experimentation.
Sam came in a saluted them with a black expression. Before taking out the dead bodies of the Nagas who mixed the blood and placing their spatial storages on the table, apart from that, he took out a crystal tablet with a recording crystal attached to it, and placed the remaining recording crystals on the table.
"These are all the evidences gathered and any form of information that I could obtain was here. One of the recording crystals contains the battle I fought with one of these special soldiers and he seemed to be the elite of them all.
The person who is in charge of the group is happened to be a transcendent cultivator and I don't know what kind of element he uses. All the soldiers addressed him as Master."
With that he took a step back, General and some regiment commanders started looking through these things and soon the whole room is busy.
There is on extra spatial ring and when took the contents they are a bit confused. There are some glass bottles that contained blood inside them.
"This ring was from the soldier I fought, I stole the spatial ring off his hand and broke the contract forcefully when we are fighting. I was able to succeed in the last minute."
After checking all the physical objects, they went to the scrolls and data and some healers went to check the corpses of the five blood mixers.
One thing Sam regretted is not collecting one of those flowers and the body of that mutated warriors.
The commanders all looked at the videos that are showing the whole process of these pod sessions. They also saw the body structures of these people and finally the battle video Sam testing the opponent with increasing his power bit by bit.
All of them studied this and went into silence. They don't know what to talk for a moment. They didn't know that something like this is happening and they estimated that the abilities of these people are quite high.
If there are really five thousand of those people, then the situation is not that great.
"I was able to destroy around two to three hundred of those pods, but that was my limit, the Transcendent cultivator you saw in the video already came and I didn't think it was wise of me to stay there."
"How did you escape?" One of the regiment commander asked this question. Sam looked at him and said.
"That would involve one of my secrets, I would like it if we don't talk about that."
"But how do we not know that you are not one of them, you might as well be one of them and trying to lure us into a trap. May be all of this is a bluff and the matter is completely different than what is happening.
After all, how were you able to enter the base and record all this; that is not your backyard."
Sam looked at him coldly and replied.
"Just like how all these people know that you are truly loyal to the empire and you really are the regiment commander and not some imposter trying to deny what you saw in the video and trying to make all of them side tracked."
Everyone was dumbfounded at Sam's words. He turned to the General and said.
"Sir, I was given a task and I fulfilled it successfully. If you really want to just deny the facts of what is really happening and even try to pin the blame on me to justify your delusions, then please with all due respect do so. Because, at the end of the day it is not me who is going to lose the war. It would be the whole empire.
Because from what I saw, even though it is only half a regiment, your soldiers are not on par with them. Just one hundred of them will tear through your regiment like a sheet of paper and kill every single one of them.
The whole nascent stage battle was already in their bag."
All the people were focused on Sam at this moment, nobody expected him to be this blunt. With those words, he just walked away.
Meanwhile, back in the camp.
The transcendent stage cultivator who is in charge of the experiments is checking on the losses he incurred.
Sam really did destroy around three hundred pods.
Some of them by the blast, some of them with the poison.
He walked to the grey wilted flowers in the first row of rooms.
In place of the red flower that should have been in blood colored, there is a large grey wilted flower and inside the flower there is a dead body that was completely sucked dry. Except for the crystal scales that now became real crystals that fell off of the body, there is nothing but the outer skin that covered a skeleton. All the muscle and blood are gone.
This is the situation for the next two hundred or so. In fact, the blast did less damage. As for the remaining poisoned flowers, they are not completely destroyed.
After all, Sam's blood mixture was added to almost five hundred of them, but only two hundred worked the rest of them are able to escape. But they did take some damage, their blood red skin tone was replaced by grey skin tone, at least in some places. It is almost like they are patching grey all over their bodies. As for the people that he added the poison manually, the result is not as expected. He was only able to stop the pod session, he wasn't able to kill them or harm them.
When their master asked them about what happened, they said that they felt the flower started sucking the energy out of them instead of giving them and they tried to stop the energy flow and get out of it.
And they succeeded in the struggle for some reason while the other died. It seems like it is mostly related to the metal strength.
After all, in the same circumstances two hundred other died while the remaining three hundred people succeeded in doing so.
Sam doesn't know that three hundred people escaped his trap, he gave a conservative number to the general just in case. But he didn't expect that he would be right.
After calculating the losses and the situation, the master couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger. He destroyed his barrack in rage and only after all that destruction did he calm down.
For Sam these people are just some soldiers he killed. But for this master, they are his treasures, hundreds of millions of spirit stones are used to perform this project. Decades took for the research and he was barely able to succeed recently and he kept everything else he had on the line to achieve this.
As the time came for him to prove his creations, there was such a situation.
He really wants to kill Sam right this moment.
