The war was ongoing and, within a month, all the generals and Marshall were on the front lines. The Beginners took a back seat, even Great realm experts and Great realms were now only minor characters.
The newly born cultivators themselves were now having a great battle, which meant it was time, Sam and Emperor Arian moved to the frontlines and they did.
The Orion border was moved to the rear, all the territory was conquered at least half of it and the south star was the worst as the entire region was conquered completely.
The southern Star Duke was extremely discouraged. Now the south side is cleared and the Arian can attack directly.
The duke who was a Nascent Peak stage moved towards the imperial capital so that they could guard this side.
Sam and the Arian Emperor moved towards the southern star.
The entire territory of the duke that he was very familiar with was back in sight.
Now, he could walk around openly and no one dared to say a word about it.
He sees signs of war and new temporary personnel from Arian who are in charge of the city's activities, the officials are arrested and interrogated.
He sighed at the sight he brought to this once stable kingdom.
And all of that was because a selfish prince and his father looked down and coveted his possessions and were so arrogant as to accept their defeat and try to kill him.
Now the entire empire that gave that arrogant bastard his status as an emperor had to pay the price. But Sam had a feeling that it was getting better.
Because of all the trips he had made in this empire, he had not heard a single good thing about the emperor, either, the citizens were so indifferent towards him and they almost behaved as if the emperor had never existed in the first place.
But some days he was in Arian, he saw the opposite. The soldiers are hundreds of times better than the soldiers in Orion.
There are many training facilities that will improve various aspects, even the food is very delicious and nutritious.
Even the citizens had great respect for the soldiers and for the popularity of the emperor, he was like a god to the citizens. They respect him a lot and they identify him in one look.
There were very few slums in this area and they were also only occupied by a few petty criminals rather than the poor.
Even the people who were not cultivating were given adequate security, the city guards worked well and the percentage of taxes collected was very small.
Simply put, the Arian kingdom was a great place and the Arian emperor was a great ruler.
This whole thing may have started based on Sam's personal agenda and there was a lot of help in winning this one, but it would have been a good thing for both kingdoms.
Sam and the emperor were stationed near the imperial capital. But they're not advancing. Because, at most two weeks the entire territory would be occupied and it would be the perfect time to conduct an all-out battle in the imperial capital.
This had always been the norm, the most broken would always be the imperial capital. The most elite troops were all stationed there.
Even Sam's battalion was stationed in the imperial capital.
As for the ferocious beasts in the wild, they all remained silent and this was mainly due to the Arian Emperor Thunder Vulture.
All the beasts remained deep within under the guidance of their respective forest kings.
Now all they had to do was wait for the final battle and show them who was the boss.
But the wait was only for Sam, the Emperor, and the other big fish. The normal troops had to move and they were now attacking southwest and southeast through the border between the southern star and the two regions.
They began to carry out pincer attacks and now the territory was occupied quickly.
This increased to the point that they completed everything ten days. Dukedom surrender.
Some dukes fled to the imperial capital and some of them surrendered. Now, only the last battle remains.
On the eleventh day they stayed near the imperial capital, they ended up encircling the city walls and the emperor shouted with all his might.
"Emperor Orion, your capital has been besieged, your land conquered and your army defeated, it is better if you surrender, no further bloodshed is necessary."
At the moment of the uproar in the city, the greatest losses suffered by the soldiers and then the merchants and secondary nobles, their assets had been annexed by the government in the name of the war tax, the, and the most profitable are the four professional towers, their business is growing rapidly like never before.
At the same time, inside the imperial palace.
There were many people inside the imperial palace. They are the strongest of the Orion kingdom.
They were all discussing how to deal with this when the voice of the Arian Emperor sounded.
Many of them were already having difficulties and this announcement only made things worse.
Many of them looked at the emperor cruelly. If they had sufficient strength, they would hit him for no reason at that very instant.
This guy brought this all to them.
This person and his foolish son did this and now that the foolish son was not even in Orion, he was now in the thunder god temple receiving training safely.
Now, due to the anger of this useless father and son couple, their lives hang on a thread. They couldn't just give up because they might be killed by this foolish emperor and they had no choice but to fight.
Now, there's a well in the front and a hole in the back, they can't just leave.
Vickers who was beside the emperor shook his head and sighed.
He did not expect that his suggestion was too late, Sam did not even give the emperor a chance to consider, he just left and did what he wanted to do. He obviously did not consider Sam's habit of buying information and postponing his visit and now because of that information, everything just ended.
There was no way Orion could recover, even if by a miracle Orion could win, what was next, all the territories had been occupied and at most they could take control of this imperial capital.
He moved and appeared at the entrance of the city.
He looked at the Arian Emperor and said.
"How are you Ark?" He asked as if he was meeting his old friend and it turned out to be true.
"It's good to see you again, old friend." Arc, the Emperor said in response.
"Do we have to do it this way?" vickers asked but his gaze was no longer on Arc, but on Sam.
The question is not answered. Vickers looked at Sam and continued.
"Sam, why do you have to do this? You can take revenge a few years later, with your talent, you will be able to take revenge in just a decade. Do you have to go this far? Do you have to do it? taking it this far, even causing the entire empire to collapse?"
Sam looked at Vickers expressionlessly but in his heart he was shocked, he had no idea that Vickers was someone this strong, this strong, he had not expected this creepy middle-aged man to be an existence on par with an emperor. But the surprise did not last long.
"Revenge, you say. You're actually right. I could kill him in a decade, in fact, I could slam him like a sheep right in the center of the Imperial capital while the entire city watched.
But until then, what should I do? Do you guarantee that I can have a peaceful night after escaping? Can you guarantee that a person filled with excessive and unfounded arrogance like him will be able to let go of the fact that I will be able to leave unscathed?"
Vickers confused. He only thought of things from his side and the imperial side. He didn't think much about Sam. What kind of person is Sam? He looked at it directly, he was an extremely arrogant person capable of displaying glory and majesty. He may be arrogant but he deserves it. Can a person of that caliber accept losses?
Of course not.
But before he could answer, Sam continued.
"Above everything. I can still do the same now, so why should I let the fleas that came after me live longer if I can kill them now?"
This time Vickers answered.
"It seems you're overconfident. Are you sure you can do this? All I can see is that you used a trick to get the two kingdoms to fight. If you have the ability why do you have to do all this?"
"I want to kill the emperor before killing him."
Sam answered him in one sentence and the audience was confused only a few people understood what he meant.
Not only did Sam want to kill the emperor himself, he also wanted to kill whatever made him emperor. He's arrogant enough to try Sam's life.
So, Sam wanted to kill that arrogance before anything else.
