Sam had a long discussion with Wembley, the woman Watt fell in love with.
Their love story is not that grand and she is not the most beautiful woman he saw. They met accidentally and fought, Watt won and didn't kill her for some reason and stayed within the forest. And their accidental meetings increased and soon they fell in love.
The issue was brought back to her tribe and they took it harshly, a conflict between the tribe and Watt started which was later solved by some kind of barbarian duel.
Sam was really not that interested in the whole love story thing. They fell in love and if it is true, he will give them his blessing.
But he couldn't stop her from saying everything, so he just listened.
"Everything was alright, between us. After the duel, my family got along well with him, but all of a sudden the Kala tribe barged in and demanded that we hand him over and with the slightest of resistance they started attacking.
Almost all of my tribe was destroyed and in the middle of it, Watt directly surrendered, but they didn't stop, then only we realized that they don't have just taking him away in their plans, they are planning to kill all of us from the start.
And Watt got angry and killed a bunch of Consummates in an instant and they didn't manage to capture him as he moved on his board.
WE were about to escape when the Astral Plane cultivator attacked and captured me. Watt tried to get me back, but he couldn't at first, he is on verge of death. The soldiers who came at that time seems to have been told to bring him back, but it turned out they overdid it.
So, they took me back, making up a story that Watt escaped after they left him to die like that. But a few days later, he came back in full health and started going on a rampage.
Which bought me a chance to escape properly, but he got caught by the Astral Plane cultivators.
As for why we are still alive, the remaining members of our tribe escaped and my grandfather who was the head of the tribe has left me something.
It is the blood pact between my tribe and the Kala tribe, which he failed to use when they attacked directly.
The blood pact is a very important thing for the barbarians and if the Kala tribe doesn't fulfill it, the rest of the barbarian tribes in the realm, will not tolerate it and wage a war at them.
But it is not invincible, so I made some demands and bought three months time as Watt said and also managed to send you that message."
"What I want to know is, how far I can push before they lose and kill Watt?"
"What do you mean? Are you not sneaking in and freeing him?"
"Why should I sneak in? I am going to war."
"Are you out of your mind, I thought you guys are just bluffing, but are you really doing it? I thought Watt was only saying those things out of spite and you are also talking as crazily as him."
"Miss Wembley. You don't have to overreact. I know exactly what I am doing. I just want an answer to my question."
"What do you mean you know what you are doing? You definitely don't know. Do you know what Kala barbarians are? Savage warriors. They are such savages that they would kill a guy if they just look at their woman's feet."
"That doesn't matter. My war is a different kind. I just want to know when they would get rid of the pact and kill Watt without any consideration to it if I proceed with my plans."
"They wouldn't do it until they became scarce in numbers and they feel like their whole tribe is being threatened.
In that case, nobody cares about the pact anymore and they would use him to threaten you. But if you can really reach that point, you can bargain with them and get him in exchange of their lives.
But both of them are impossible scenarios. I don't even know why we are talking about that."
"Okay then, I have one more question. Why are you hiding if the pact is still active and in such plain sight."
"I am not exactly hiding. The Kala tribe knows where I am. The only reason I am moving around is to avoid these pesky small fries who want to use me to get close to the Kala tribe.
They are always the biggest annoyance and hindrances, when the time comes for the pact is over and I try to escape so that the Kala tribe couldn't do anything to me, they will use the large numbers of these dumb guys who want their favor to wear us down.
So, I am luring them here and finish them off while we have a chance. My place of hiding was never a secret from the past two weeks."
"It seems like my subordinates did a sloppy job. Anyway, I want you to sneak out of the city secretly and meet me in the forest outside. Things would get messy and I don't want you to get caught up in it. It is better if you do it tonight."
"Is it really necessary for you to do this? You could just save him and we can escape from here."
"That is exactly not my style. I don't do things that way."
"It is better if you move as soon as possible after I left, tomorrow night, something big is going to happen."
With that Sam left and he slowly moved his base to the forest outside. It wouldn't be wise to stay within the city after the first step is completed.
Wembley who is resistant to his thoughts, still met him along with that old man that very night.
The next day, every subordinate who has a job in the city applied for leave and came out of the city and went around the city wall to their positions as Sam asked tp.
And stayed there until the night as they installed something.
These metallic beams with inscriptions on them are placed in their exact positions and they all injected their spiritual energy into it exactly after sunset.
This is a formation Sam designed just for this city. Actually in the first month spent here, they spent a week just surveying this whole location and finding the proper locations.
After the energy is injected the whole city started quaking mildly.
But everyone can feel it, the buildings are vibrating continuously with a faint noise and slowly the gravity increased as the Barbarians are running out of the structures with the intention of escaping.
This sudden gravity raise caused them to get stuck to the ground, making them stay in place, and moving around became extremely difficult. Of course, not all of them are completely affected. The Astral Plane cultivators had minimum effect on them and they ran out immediately to check out the situation.
The first thought that came to their mind is that a stampede is occurring, but the gravity effect crossed off everything.
All the citizens are feeling anxious and helpless as they stuck to the ground unable to move and started yelling prayers to their goddess.
But as they prayed the gravity only increased causing them to feel a more crushing pressure on their bodies.
The people who didn't awaken are feeling the most effects right now. Some of them even had an illusion of being crushed by a rock.
After fifteen minutes of this effect and the Astral Plane cultivators searching through the city to see if someone is doing from inside, Sam's subordinates, twisted the top of the small metallic beam and the inscription on it changed.
The subordinates retreated back into the forest and went back to the camp while the beam started vibrating.
There is one rapid increase in the gravity and this time even the Astral Plane cultivators felt it.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
A bunch of simultaneous explosions happened at the same time five minutes later which made the whole city wall have cracks on it.
The explosion is not a normal one. It is more of a shockwave. This is something Sam has been working on in his spare time.
He wanted to see if his understanding of void style, ripple style and repel style could be put to a different use.
And this is the result of it.
The whole city vibration is not just a normal attack. It causes the energy ripple in the atmosphere in a very subtle way and the beams that are around the city give off the vibrations that overlap with them and then the result of a collision caused this shockwave and destroyed the wall and also the backlash destroyed the beams.
If the beams are a bit larger and stronger then he could have blasted the whole city down, it might not be a good weapon against enemies of a certain strength, but it sure can be used as a good diversion and disruption weapon.
While Sam is thinking of how to improve it further in his head, the people inside the city are thinking completely differently.
