Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

chapter-566
When the beasts caught up to the red team, they are already in a formation. Eight of them stood in a circle while the two of them stood in the center.
The two in the center are the earth element users of the team and they already constructed a barricade of the earthen wall around them.
The beasts surrounded and got ready to destroy the wall.
When a beast ran forward and jumped, not only an earthen spike came from the wall and pierced it, but an intense flame torched it all over until it almost turned into ashes.
Only after the fire cleared could one see a hole in the wall which was rapidly closing once again.Sam really liked these soldiers, because they listen to the commands perfectly and he doesn't have to explain anything twice to them. As long as he said it once, they will get it and do everything precisely. How good would it be if all his subordinates are like this?
He can slack off a lot.
The beasts couldn't understand what is happening, but they are not pleased with the death of one of their companions and the onslaught continued.
But every time a beast jumped forward, there would be a spike halting its tracks and a barrage of lethal attacks hitting the beast until it is either dead or crippled.
The situation was resolved by not completely. The blue team commander has already made some preparations while these people are fighting off the beasts.
But the earthen were still there. In fact, a roof also appeared on their heads as they waited for them. But the suspected attack didn't come.
Sam ordered the group to move in the same formation. The walls disappeared and they cautiously moved forward. No matter what came in their way, they didn't take any detours, no matter how many trees there are, all they did is cut them down all the rocks are taken care of the earth element users.They are extremely cautious and didn't make any rash movements.
Sam gave the same order to the remaining two groups and enjoyed the show. He didn't like giving orders in real-time. Even though, that is what makes a good commander, what is the point of having subordinates who have to be spoon-fed for everything they do?
They have to resolve the problems themselves and all he would do is point and guide them in the most efficient way possible.
According to Sam, the competence of a proper commander will be shown when all his subordinates follow his orders, but the competence of a great commander will be shown when his orders are still followed even in his absence as their leader.
That is why, he always trained the soldiers differently, even if he wasn't there to order around, they will still react in the same way as he was present and they will know what to do in what scenarios.
He might not achieve that level with these tower defense soldiers, but he would get the best he could.
The blue team could kiss goodbye to their traps, the thirty soldiers will definitely reach the tower.
But they are extremely slow and will take some time.
Meanwhile, the blue team infiltrators already reached the vicinities of the tower.
The Blue commander is feeling the pressure and wanted to distract Sam and the best way to do that is to attack the tower and make him focus here so that he would focus less on his troops in the blue territory.
Meanwhile, the blue commander sent the remaining five soldiers that set the traps and another ten soldiers from the defense line leaving only thirty of them to defend at the tower.
These fifteen members all moved into the forest as they wanted to deal with the thirty troops of the red team.
But Sam didn't worry about something like that even when he saw the fifteen members surrounding the ten-man team.
As he said, these soldiers are efficient and could understand his orders easily. All they have to do is follow the regular defensive plan he said.
Even though the fifteen people are surrounding them, it would be hard for their spiritual sense to cross the earthen wall that was full of their enemy's spiritual energy and predict what is going on, but the earth element users could see outside because it is hard to block their sense from outside. If they have to do that, they had to seal the whole ten-man formation and to affective do that, they would need at least three earth element users.
What Sam observed is that there are almost no earth element users in the blue team troops that were sent to infiltration, he only counted five of them and five of them are dead.
Maybe he was using them as the mainline of defense at the tower. That is understandable though.
The battle went on, Sam didn't focus much on it. Rather, he is focused on the defense of the tower.
The twenty-blue soldiers within his territory are actually using the forest as the cover and are trying to do guerilla warfare.
But what they did not notice is that as soon as they made their move and are about to attack the tower, the forest has been blocked. The wood element users didn't wait for a second to entangle all the trees and made a serious blockade.
And they came from the rear without giving a chance for these twenty-five people to escape.
This is going to be the final battle on this side. He has been waiting for them to come and attack him and this is perfect.
He is not going to let this slip away.
Since the area is the beach, Sam decided to use the sand to his advantage.
The twenty-five blue soldiers who covered a large area by spreading out are still surrounded and slowly the sand is raising. They couldn't just break out of here. The battle formation of the red soldiers is tight and the earth element users along with the wind element users are causing a sand storm and soon the whole blue team is surrounded.
The wood element users also started taking action. At the eye of the storm where the chaos is minimum, a large vine started growing vertically with so many vines spreading from it. With the eye as the center and the solid foundation, the six wood element users worked together as they attacked the blue team soldiers that are trying their best to not get stuck in the sand tornado.
But they couldn't hold on for long, because the wind element users are sharpening the wind currents into the wind blades.
This is the best team Sam has ever seen, they are practically like robots and their foundations are extremely strong to the point they could achieve Sam's weird formations like this without even practice.
As the blue team soldiers finally got swept by the tornado, the fire element users and the water element users started working.
The water element users are responsible for taking care of any strays that escape the storm, while fire element users utilized the wind currents to add fire into the tornado and work in tandem with the sandstorm. After an hour of futile resistance from the Blue soldiers who clearly fell into the biggest trap in this round, the battle is finally over.
The blue commander has an ugly look on his face, he is someone from one of the nations who crossed the first round.
He couldn't help but slam the table in fury.
He knew that whatever he planned will be futile now.
Because he cannot hope to maintain the defense and offense with these meager forces.
Particularly, when the fifteen soldiers he sent to deal with the ten are all dead.
And surprisingly, only three members of the red team are dead.
The seven stayed there to recuperate and slowly moved towards the remaining twenty soldiers who are moving on either side of the stream.
The twenty-seven soldiers are soon joined by the red soldiers who are responsible for traps in the red territory. They are not part of the defense line.
They are ordered to stay within the forest. Now that the offensive troops are having a shortage of numbers, they are going to join.
Not just them, half of the defensive line also moved. The wind element users and the water element users moved. The water element users even used the stream to move faster and are about to join the offensive troops.
As for the rest, they are still stationed for the defense. Even though he is confident that the blue team wouldn't send any troops to attack, it is better safe than sorry.
Anyway, all they would need is one person to invade the tower. The term capturing the flag is just symbolic and even the flags on top of the towers in holograph are also symbolic. They are not exactly capturing the flags.
As long as they invaded the tower the competition would be over.
And Sam felt like the competition is already over. The Blue troops' defense line was completely outnumbered at this moment and it is hard for them to move forward.
As soon as the red troops reached the tower and engaged Sam already sent an order to the remaining defense line members to march forward.
There is no way the blue team can move forward and send someone to capture his tower. The best they could hope for was a tie. But Sam is not letting that happen. This time, the soldiers moved at full speed to reach their destination.
