For the next two days, Sam only stayed at the lake as he experimented with it. For starters, he collected some lake water and created a small puddle near the lake, and dropped a fish in to see if there would be any change to it.
And he soon noticed, the fish didn't survive for long. There is no vitality in the water at all.
Just like that, he performed many experiments.
On the second day's night, Chatur came back. He has taken a wolf from the Canine squad and has been using it. With his disguise techniques and its speed. He can easily escape any threat in the union dimension.
He got the required information and Sam was extremely excited to see this. Because the most chaotic of the battle-fields are three and all three of them have someone from the Rubrum empire as the lead.
One of them has sectum, the other Salvan, and the third one was led by some other rubrum guy. All of the rubrum emperor squads are on three battlefields only.
When Sam thought about this, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
He already decided to make the rubrum empire people have a taste of his revenge for plotting against him and with how the current situation is, he can not only make them pay a price, he can also make the Union sect suffer some losses.
Sam wanted to brush off his necromancy skills. Even though he is not interested in the normal undead necromancy, he still studied some basics of that category and one of them is just making the undead. Generally, a necromancer who wants to have his own undead army wouldn't be able to keep all of them no matter how many corpses he has. Because the mental energy keeps a limit.
But they can still make the undead, but just couldn't control them. But it wouldn't stay for long as the energy the necromancer injected will soon disappear due to the connection and the corpse would return to his actual state.
He felt like he could use this as he didn't want to make his involvement known. His foundation in the Naga Loka is too shaky and he couldn't just cause a war between rubrum and Mov to satisfy his own revenge.
But there is no way he would not kill them.
Sam and Chatur started making their move, but this time a little discreetly. Everyone knew they left the lake but no one knew where they went.
Their first target is the third person-in-charge of the rubrum squads other than Sectum and Salvan.
Currently, the clash is going on intensely and both sides are having skirmishes in a direct head-on battlefield.
Due to some long intervals, both sides created their temporary bases and fortified them with the formations and defensive battle formations.
They would meet on the battlefield now and then.
And they had a tacit agreement not to fight at night. This stemmed from their original agreement between the rubrum and the sect.
He stayed at a relatively hidden place as there is a resource point nearby and Chatur has layout ready for Sam to find a hiding point and sent the shadow mice out. Now he doesn't just have ten shadow mice. Currently, he has fourteen and there is six more newborns which would make them twenty.
He could cover more ground now and get the information easily.
After some time, they came back to help with the detailed report as he plotted the land and the marks they noted to him.
The terrain is plain and there are rocks and boulders everywhere. This is what Sam actually wanted. Then he started plotting something else and gave spatial rings contained huge dark element energy cells, that too in a large quantity along with the grenades of decaying gas, that would cause the green decaying flame.
The mice went away once again. But Sam and Chatur didn't stay, they also went with their own techniques as they disguised themselves in the night.
They worked through the whole night for hours until a few minutes before dawn. They escaped right before the battle began.
They took the nearest vantage point that could give a clear look and waited for things to unfold. He was trying out a special formation he came up across when he was brushing off his necromancy.
This is a dangerous formation and as long as the dark elemental energy is directly supplied to it, it will go on making the results dangerous.
This is a great trap and is a go-to defensive measure for any necromancer. This could be used in a war perfectly. But the collateral damage and resources it took are extreme and that is the only reason most people wouldn't create one.
But Sam wanted to see if the trial would work out properly.
The two sides started moving against each other and met in the middle. But Sam could see that the situation is more intense than he thought and all the other battle-fields are equally intense at the moment.
That is because the union sect decided to make their move and speed the battle to cause more losses to the Nagin castle so that they can implement their secondary plan of using sectum to start the civil war.
Currently, the union sect's troops in this battle-field are mostly Nagas and Yakshas. These Naga scale colors are something Sam has never seen in Nagin's planet or base. So they are definitely from other planets.
As they ran into the middle of the battle-field, Sam is waiting for the presents he left for them to show themselves and they didn't disappoint.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
A series of explosions happened as the green and blue flames erupted all over the battle-field. Everyone is stunned for a second because more than forty people were hit directly and half of them are on verge of dying as the decaying flames incinerated their bodies and started rotting their flesh.
As for the rest of the forty, they are mostly in the aftershock of the explosion and have severe damage.
The grenades are not powerful enough to blast their limbs off and turn their bodies into mush and most of their bodies are intact.
The first step of the plan was a success. The two parties are stunned for a second but that didn't stop the battle. In fact, it intensified because the explosions are not of an extremely large scale and everyone was blaming the other party, even though both parties clearly suffered losses.
They went on with fighting it off with the intensity.
But what they don't know is after the few dead bodies sprawled on the ground, a black patch started spreading across the soil. It is not truly black, more like black spiritual energy, and will only be noticed if someone concentrates their spiritual senses.
As the fight became intense, all of a sudden one of the soldiers in the corner felt a bite on his leg.
When he saw the dead body with all his guts blasted out biting him, he couldn't help but kick the head off of that. He just felt like the other party has his last breath and is trying to help his comrades even in death, but before he could recover his true opponent already stabbed him in the heart with a spear.
Before the opponent could relish in his victory, he felt a bite on his neck and someone sucking his life force and energy from behind.
The undead has only one desire and that is to kill all the dead by sucking their life force. They will try to sustain that life force and energy to maintain stay undead. But without the mental connection, it wouldn't be able to do that and no matter how much energy it has, it will soon run dry and the undead will go back to being dead.
The battlefield suddenly turned extremely chaotic, because both parties noticed that several incidents are happening all around and they tried to mitigate it by killing the undead.
But before they could do so, the newly dead are also turning into undead and they have better bodies which made them more dangerous.
It is almost like a zombie virus spreading all over within a group of people.
One of the undead left the formation area without attacking anyone. But after a few steps after the formation, it fell off and became a dead body again due to the loss of power supply.
Many people noticed this, but they don't know that a formation boundary existed in the first place and started running in different directions. But Sam already took out his sniper and started shooting.
Everyone who was about to cross the boundary was shot. He didn't even use energy cell bullets or vital shots, all he did is immobilize them and they became an addition to the undead and soon the whole battle-field turned undead zone.
There are hundreds of undead inside the formation. But Sam didn't do anything, he just stayed there and waited. The undead soon realized with their instincts that if they go out a certain boundary they will be gone like the rest of their companions. But the energy cells powering the formation soon ran dry and the bodies started to fall back to the ground.
The whole area is emitting death energy. Sam released his new shadows. He felt like it is about time, he grew his own shadows and selected them carefully. Two of them are beasts, from the canine squad that went berserk due to the pills as for the rest, they are one Yaksha, one Naga and one Merman.
The shadow ran towards the battle-field as they absorbed the death energy to feed on themselves and at the same time, Sam tried to see if he can raise any shadows from the dead bodies.
Since they are already turned into undead, it is not possible to summon their shadows, as they would have already disappeared. But there are still a couple of them and he let his own shadows absorb them to increase their energy.
Sam looked at the place satisfied and beckoned Chatur who was stuck with fright move as they made their journey to the next location.
