After noon, Sam and his teammates are now in a carriage of the Golden- horse trading company. They are going to their designated region.

With Sam closing a deal, the manager has given them a whole carriage without any other passengers to that area.

Sam is playing with a pouch, in his hands. This is the beast pouch, which is device created to hold the beasts. But this living space isn't large and the beasts will be put in a state of hibernation if kept in this pouch and cannot cultivate at all.

He spent that much only to cover up his Divine dimension carrying, Yanwu, Sky, Panthers and the ape. For, now the pouch only has Falck in it.

As for the energy cells, the manager bought, he could clearly guess the latter's intentions. The other party might want to reverse engineer the product and with the vast distribution channels of the Golden-horse trading union, they will make a fortune.

But is it really that easy? They better not try to forcefully break it or pull out the metallic extension. Otherwise…

The place they are going to now, is the south western area. This is completely different direction from where Sam came from. He came from the south. And in southern area, the empire doesn't occupy the lands fully and the Lava Rock city is the final point in south.

Beyond that there are endless woods and then the sea.

But in southwestern area, the that is coastal region near the sea.

The three Count regions under their group are near the coast line and one count city is even part of the coast line.

Sam looked over the scroll and clearly understood the situation.

The Falcon Cliff city and the territory under it are smaller compared to any of these three cities.

Each count has a territory of around seven cities like Starwood city under it and each of these cities have more than 8 villages each.

Now, they are going to one of the count cities and it takes more than fifteen days to go on this carriage.

If he was alone, Sam might have gone there faster on Sky, even his hover-board will be faster than this, if he just used a set of extra energy cells. But now, he has to waste half-a-month on travel itself.

These fifteen days the group didn't encounter anything special.

Sam is going to be the leader of the team and he is going to assign the tasks they are going to perform and reward them according to their tasks.

Anyway, most of them are not much interested in massive amount of spirit stones, as a large amount might not even be useful to them, so their prioritised payment method is in the form of the herbs and pills they find in the loot. And the rest of the payment can be done with spirit stones.

As for ores and stuff, except for the two siblings, none of them are interested in the ores.

And Sam isn't short of any of these things. Perhaps, even the loot from the Falcon Cliff city's Black Pond can easily satisfy as their rewards for clearing several villages and even some small tier cities.

So, he can rest at ease on getting his hands on the meteorite sand.

After fifteen days, they went to the first Count city. The Red Coral city. But they didn't meet the count instead, they walked around the city and after much effort he got a map. This map included the ways to all the small tier cities under the Red Coral city.

They got out of the city and Sam took out his carriage and the Blazing earth bulls. The bulls are now on verge of breaking through to Level 3. After all, they are eating the herbs planted by Sam in the divine dimension, so it would be weird if they don't show any signs of breaking through.

And soon they went to a named Silver carp city. This city is same level as the Starwood city, but it is on sea shore.

Just when the teammates thought that they would settle in the city for the time being, Sam once again enquired in the city and found a map which has all the routes to the Villages under the silver carp city.

So, after another two days, they finally landed in a small village which is slightly bigger than the Lava rock village. This village is the closest to the Silver Carp village and main thing is this village is also part of the coastline.

When Sam reached the village, he could feel the fresh sea breeze. When all of the candidates felt that the fatigue and mental exhaustion clearing away.

They got off the carriage and stored away the beasts. They entered the village in a low-key way, so they can understand the situation better way if they looked at it as bystanders rather than the officials.

So, when they entered the city, the first thing they did is find a restaurant to eat. Why? In most places, a run-down restaurant in a corner can get you more info than some investigation.

Because, a restaurant is a place where a lot of people will meet and a lot info will circulate and most of the info will be stored on some portable memory banks and they are the cleaners and Waiters of the restaurant.

After some enquiry, they soon found out, that there are three places which can be considered as restaurants. One is an inn where the people from the city stay, the other one is a normal restaurant and the third one is a sea food place near the beach.

They decided to visit three places. But first one is the Inn.

Actually, the teammates thought that they don't have to do this much, because they are all in Novice stage and they can be the overlords of this village. They can do whatever they want and nobody would say a thing about it.

But Sam didn't think so. Yes, they can do whatever they want. Those underground bosses might not be able to retaliate, but they sure as hell can hide until they leave.

After all, for Sam and his team, this is just a small mission but for those goons, their lives are at stake. One can guess, who will be more patient.

So, Sam decided to take a more subtle approach regarding this. At least until he got all the info he wants.

As for if there is no underground activity in the village, that is an impossible case.

Even if there are ten people struck in a place and two people are ones with superior strength. At least one of the would make others cater to his needs if not two of them.

After visiting the inn and having a casual meal, Sam discreetly passed a spirit stone to a waiter and whispered something in a low voice.

In a village a spirit stone is a very valuable asset and soon, they got all the info needed.

By evening they visited all three places and came to a conclusion, there is only one gang with more than 50 members.

And in one night, they wrapped the gang simply and went to visit the Village head.

Sam wrote something on a piece of paper and used the seal given by the Marquis to make stamp. He passed the doc.u.ment to the Village head and said.

"Seal all the info about us visiting here. You shouldn't even mention this to the City lord and if he finds fault with you, show him this doc.u.ment and if really try to take it out on you, you can visit the Count with this letter and complain." The Village head nodded meekly.

After that, the group left.

In the dining hall of the inn, Sam is sitting along with the group and there are no other people in dining hall.

"Guys, today I shown you how to get the info and how to deal with them.

And why did I show you this? Because, the mission given by marquis is an almost impossible one.

Even a small village like this, there is a gang of more than fifty members and you can imagine how many members there will be in a small tier city and in a count city.

The main thing is, we will take more time in travelling and collecting info. As you can see, we have used up around twenty days to come here and a day is needed to get all the info on a small gang.

So, think about how much time it will take to be done with all the villages and cities if we proceed like this." Sam spoke up to this point and paused. He is letting them contemplate.

After that brief pause, he continued.

"To overcome this, I have a solution. We will divide here and proceed to perform different operations.

Me, Jack and Jasmine will be one team and we will travel to the Count cities to deal with them and the remaining seven people will be travelling to the villages and clear the forces. Even though, we are only three people, we can manage on our own.

As you have seen today, it will only take a single day to clear a village and if you can distribute the work you can do it in half a day. In fact, you can even perform solo in village. After all, the most you can encounter is a Level 1 Novice.

I will leave my carriage and the Bulls with you to travel.

After you are done with villages, you will be dealing with small tier cities and as for the intel at that cities…" Sam paused and took out the small beast pouch he bought and passed it to Watt.

"Watt will be in charge of the intel on the small tier cities and you can deal with forces yourselves. And I want it to be done with in six months ten days. We will deal with the count cities together if we are not done with them by then. After that we will leave to the Blue fire city from there." He looked at Watt and said.

"You know how to use them right. I left five of them. Just like I did in Falcon Cliff city." Watt immediately understood what he meant and kept the beast pouch carefully.

Nobody understood what Sam meant, except for Jack. He is a bit surprised that Sam gave away five of them. Sam thought for a bit and said.

"I will be honest with you. I am starting to think that you guys are being too reliant on me. Even though, if you are offended a bit, prove it to me otherwise with your actions. You can meet me at the Cougar city after you finish the tasks."

Philip came to him and whispered.

"Do you want me to accompany you guys? You are short on man power."

"No need, I think it is better if you are with them. I don't want any unexpected things to happen and you are the only one with enough wit to handle it. As for the count cities, it is more complicated and I am not afraid to tell you the truth. It is not the first time for me to deal with one of them. The help Count Falcon got is none other than me."

And then he walked away.
