Sam finished his meal after brushing off the commander. He really missed his friends now. Ever since he came to this Naga Loka, he missed those three as he couldn't rely on anyone when needed. If they are here, he is sure that four of them are enough to hold down that castle.

After eating, Sam said to Chatur.

"Let us go back to the Volcanic Cannon. I am taking the next thing that is coming out of that cannon. We are going to camp there and give me the layout of the nearest resource point or the base that is taken over by the Union sect. We are taking it back.

Call for two of the idlest squads that want to shine but have no opportunity to do so when I ask you to. I need them to hold down the next point I takedown. Along with that, find another thirty individual members. Use my authority to tell them to be on standby. They should move with those two squads."

Chatur nodded and did as he was told.

He is fast and efficient and the more he showed these qualities, the more Sam thought that it is a bit suspicious that he was being suppressed like this. It is hard to leave a talented guy like that to rot away. From what he saw, the Mov empire values their talents too much as he himself is the prime example.

He only has two thoughts regarding this. The first one is that Chatur has to be lying and is spying on him and the second one is Chatur is being really suppressed but not for the reason he was told.

But Sam didn't think much. As long as he didn't sense any threat, he was fine. He might be leaving all the orders to Chatur, but he is in his own precautions.

After chatur finished his tasks, they once again made their move and went back to the Volcanic cannon. Sam checked up on the squad and after confirming that there are no more attacks, for the time being, both of them moved in another direction from there.

They traveled for an hour and reached a Lake.

This is the resource point. Even though there is a Volcano nearby, a normal lake existed here. That is the nature of the Union dimension.

Sam and Chatur got down from the Sky and walked through the woods as they neared the lake.

The lake was surrounded by a vast expanse of trees and many soldiers are waiting there.

When Sam got an estimate, he couldn't help but feel surprised and asked.

"Just how many members are there in the Union sect?"

"Thousands. The rough estimate is three to four thousand."

"Then how many are there in the Nagin Castle?"

"Around thousand five hundred."

"That's it? We are outnumbered and outdone in unity and strength. This is tough."

Sam looked at the lake from afar. The lake is a weekly resource point, one of the five that sect took over.

There are fishmen all over along with a bunch of humans. They covered the whole area with a hundred people. The majority being the fishmen and the rest of the humans.

He took out the rifle and started his harvest once again. In this forest, it is too easy for him to deal with them. He didn't even have to bother about his spot being caught. It is not like he was stuck in a cliff crack.

He can move around and with his Harbinger he is unstoppable. He can finish this off pretty easily. At least, half of them will be done. Unless there is a super-elite on par with the Players, he wouldn't have much problem.

He shot every person down one by one as he moved through the forest around the lake. But he is not lucky to clean it up. Because out of the last twenty people ten of them are great at blocking the bullets. They couldn't escape them completely, but he really wished that he had an assault rifle instead of the sniper.

These guys are a pain in the ass and they are working together. As for the remaining ten, they are great at escaping.

But this time, he didn't want them to go away. He let out the ape, Raiju, Yanwu, Sky and he let some of the owls go after them along. The ten people that are capable of defending the bullets are staying at the lake and out of ten, three of them are fishmen and the seven are humans. He was completely surprised by this.

He didn't think that he would get some friction here.

He stored the sniper away and took the handguns and directly went to confront them. He must say, he is enjoying the shooting. It really is addicting to shoot. As for the hundreds of bodies, he is taking down, he didn't care much. Since it is war, then they are deaths.

He jumped right into the middle of the ten and started shooting once again. All he did is try to dodge and shoot. He is not even using any other attacks. Even though his energy is draining just like a normal attack with every bullet, the damage is far greater and he is confident that he can deal with them fast enough.

By the end of the fight, Sam is panting and the Lake dyed red.

Chatur, who is hiding the woods as he looked at him was gulping down nervously. Meanwhile, the beasts came back with the ten bodies of the people that escaped.

Sam told Chatur to collect the spatial rings while he checked the lake out.

He took out the bodies and looked at the lake that is looked like diluted blood.

He noticed that the blood is being absorbed from a point on the lake bed.

"What kind of resource point is this?"

"A weekly resource point. The pearl lake.

There is an oyster at the bottom of the lake and it absorbs the energy from the lake as it creates a pearl. The pearl is not an ornament though. It is a pill.

It is mostly beneficial for water element users and the spiritual energy it absorbed all over the week will be absorbed by the body one hundred percent.

The amount is not high though. But this is the first time, we are seeing it absorbing the blood. After all, no killed anyone inside the lake." Chatur appeared as he finished his task and said.

"When is the next pearl coming out?"

"From the looks of it, maybe tomorrow."

Sam nodded and replied.

"Call the squads and the extra members I asked for and station them at the Volcanic Cannon for now. We will stay at the lake for the time being. Build the tent nearby."

Chatur went on to finish the task and Sam started observing the lake. He activated his eye technique to the limit and is looking at the energy flow within the lake.

The oyster is indeed absorbing the energy of the water and the water is receiving the energy from surroundings.

It is mostly filled with the water elemental energy due to the lake water and the rest is the neutral energy.

Chatur finish setting up the tents and Sam let out Ape to stay guard at the entrance and went inside before entering the divine dimension. He has to finish the promised design and the prototype so that he could get the Rainbow kelp. That is the second herb on the list.

He spent his time inside the tower to deal with the new design. This is actually not much complicated. Just the restraining part is a bit complicated. And according to Sandra, he can make animals bleed and it would be better if the beast weakened as much as possible.

So, Sam decided to make a suitable design according to that and started working in it. The night passed outside and he only came out the next morning.

He went to see chatur who is working in his tent on a table with a large scroll as he painted.

"Did you send the news that we took the lake and I am taking the gains of the lake for the next few weeks?"

Sam asked casually.

"Yes and I already got a reply. The six commanders don't seem too happy. They are saying that you are breaking the war strategy with your reckless actions and they want you to go back."

"What if I don't go back?"

"Well, there is nothing they can do. All they said is that they will make the commander for Mov to complain to the emperor."

"Then, it is okay. Let him complain to the emperor, at least he would get some sense drilled into his head."

"Any other news?"

"The troops from the Union sect arrived at the Volcanic cannon and are stationed nearby. There are two hundred of them in total. They didn't seem to have gotten the news about the lake or they seemed to have left it for later.

But they didn't attack the castle or the Cannon as they seemed to have been waiting for further orders due to the new arrival of the two squads."

Sam heard all the news and went to the lake as the time for the pearl to arrive has come.
