Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

It has been two days since the Minotaur troops surrounded the town from three directions. There is only one direction left for them and it is covered with dense forest. It would lead to an area where there is no civilization and no one knows what kind of creatures live there.

Sam is extremely frustrated as he stayed in the tavern.

Currently, his task is not going anywhere. There is no progress. Since the troops of Minotaurs came here, there is nothing much the troops of dwarves can do.

This morning, Sam once again took a look at the situation outside from the top of the wall. From the past two days, there are not many offensive moves from the Minotaurs. But there are some attacks that are just made to frustrate and drain the forces on the top of the wall.

But within the two days, there are many changes within the troops of the Minotaur.

The human troops joined Minotaurs and they are not few. Not just that, the Minotaurs even have something else in their arsenal apart from the inscribed classy equipment and the battle-formations.

They even have catapults.

Generally, the catapults are considered at most primitive in Sam's eye. But the current situation is different. The Catapult has some inscriptions and Sam doesn't know what they are as he couldn't see them up close.

But the inscriptions are dense and complicated enough for him to feel weary.

Sam couldn't help but panic and he thought of Veer's words. The people behind the minotaurs, whoever they are shouldn't be normal at all.

He wanted to talk about some strategy with the commander and town head to help them understand the situation. But both of them refused to meet him.

They are initial stage Pre-transcendent cultivators. Level 2 and Level-3. Sam is only Level-1. But he is not exactly afraid to clash. What he is afraid of is that the situation would turn out of hand and the town would easily collapse.

Sam doesn't know exactly what is happening and why the Minotaurs are focusing so much on a single town.

After all, if it is about food, they occupied so many villages, even though the food there wouldn't be able to promote their cultivation levels, they could recover their troops' energy while they are at war. If they left this town that was already isolated and proceeded forward with the war, they would eventually take over this town too.

Their persistence is showing him that this town is special.

But at this moment, he is not concerned with verifying the speculations.

He finally understood why dwarves are looked down upon. Since he came here, he liked these dwarves quite a bit, they are united, they are easy to talk to and they work hard and on top of that, they are great artisans.

He felt like they are the compilation of the good qualities of humans. But now he understood the drawback of the race. When they are within their community, they are not easy to manipulate at all. They wouldn't listen to any outsiders. Sam heard that dwarves are often taken advantage of, maybe they must have realized their shortcomings and didn't consider outsiders' opinions anymore.

So, currently, Sam who is an outsider is having trouble getting through their skulls. At one point in time, he didn't want to try anymore. But he couldn't bring himself to. He had a deal with another person. He couldn't just back out. Giving up is not his style.

That is why on this day, he let out all his beasts. Shadow mice are left in the house and almost all of his beasts have one shapeshifting ability, except for shadow mice and Dia. As for his pet companions like ape and others, he even let them out and made them stay in the field for a while.

He would let them adjust to the resistance and unseal the cultivation. He is sick of playing nice with them. He would just make his own plans from now on.

Once shadow mice are unsealed, they would be able to gather all the information Sam wants.

All he has to do is wait for four days and since they have medium grade wheat at hand, he can even speed up the process. But at this moment, one of the bad news came and that is the fish in the pond are dying.

Chatur was extremely terrified as he came running to Sam about this.

Sam ran towards the pond. Currently, all his friends are occupied in different corners of the town as they stayed close to the troops to see if they can gain any information.

Only chatur is watering the crops and maintaining the pond.

When Sam arrived at the pond, he could see that the fish are writhing as if they are on dry land. Sam dipped his hand and used observation ability and immediately thought what the problem is. This is the same weird liquid they used before to kill the crops.

Sam was surprised a bit for a second and didn't react. Because Veer said that this place is a tactical point that supplies food for further invasion in long run, Sam thought that they wouldn't hurt the fields severely. But now, he only has one thing to say.

Bullshit.

This place being tactical point is a bunch of bullshit.

The concentration of that weird liquid with death energy is actually high now and the soil will start being affected. They seemed to have mixed the liquid in the stream far away, so there are not many immediate reactions and the water diluted it a lot, but if this continued and the soil kept on absorbing this, it would soon die and become barren land for a few months if not years.

Sam immediately went into action. He took out some energy cells and ran to the entry point of the stream.

The place where the stream enters the town, there is a small pool formed from which various small canals are directed towards the crops. This is to let the water of the stream lose momentum. Except for the fish pond Sam made, every field is connected in some way.

Sam started digging small holes in the ground around that pond and buried the light elemental energy cells and used them as formation nodes to lay down a formation.

The formation started producing vitality. This is actually a healing formation. It can be used in large-scale wars where the soldiers with minor wounds wouldn't need to bother the healers and just sit in the formation to heal with sheer vitality, it can also be used for first aid.

This is one of the recent formations Sam studied.

After placing the formation, Sam placed his hand in one of the canals exiting it, and used observation, the death energy reduced and as he observed the flowing water, soon the death energy is completely gone, in fact, the vitality in the water is increasing.

This would be a good thing for crops as it would help speed up the growth. Since the problem of pests is solved by the poisoned grass, they can just let the crops grow.

Sam looked at the surrounding soldiers who are in charge of watching the wall nearby and knew clearly why they are coming. They are here to question what Sam is doing with that formation.

"The Minotaurs already mixed that weird liquid, half the fish in my pond already died. That is why I laid a formation to purify the water."

Sam left that statement and left. He already said what he could, he didn't want to explain himself anymore.

He knew what kind of crisis they are facing, so there is no use in bickering. He could only create a suitable solution and try to convince them in the process. If he just stayed still without any action waiting for these numbskulls to understand the situation, then too much time would be wasted.

He went into the town and entered Veer's house for the first time. This place was also included in his deal, but he didn't bother with this at first, but he needs some space to set up a temporary workshop.

He set a table and started creating a new design. It is full body armor for the dwarves. He called for Philip to come and gave him some metal and asked him to make the full body armor exactly according to the designs.

He also didn't stay still and made another armor.

He is a bit faster than Philip, but Philip is not that slow. He really did catch up quickly as he utilized in advantage in manipulating metal.

They worked for a whole day to create the full body armor. The one Philip made is made of metal that is conductive with the fire element and the one that Sam made has water element.

He gave both the armors to Philip and said.

"Tomorrow, talk to the guards who come for wine regularly and ask them to try these two armors in the battle. Just tell them that it is free and there are no strings attached, even if you tell them that we wanted them to test these armors it is fine. But make them wear it.

From what I see, the attacks will become intense soon. The dwarves would surely die and the town would be lost within no time if they didn't take the necessary precautions. There is something going on and it is bigger than just the tactical point of battle and food supply.

If we pull this off, an expert who is at least at a consummate level would owe us a favor and we can even find out some secrets of this banishment realm.

For now, let us just focus on forging these armors. I will see if we can modify the production equipment to make them faster."

With that, both of them fell into work.
