The days passed slowly with people at the top of the world filled with tension and ordinary people without an ounce of knowledge about this tension.
Sam returns to town and becomes preoccupied with his own preparations for the future.
While Philip and Sirona planned their own things. The archive is still in the Usaine sect.
Everyone was immersed in their own duties and Sam had left the task of recruiting personnel from the rest of the empire of the Usaine sect to Arkiv and Austin.
The Arkiv completed this task and returned to the sect.
Coincidentally after their activities were completed, the first serious and significant battle between the Usaine sect and the three associations took place on the mainland of the central continent.
To everyone's surprise, even though the Usaine sect was the one responsible for the first blow after the war began, this attack was launched by the association and the troops were formed by the combined army of the three associations.
This battle took place in one of the resource providers of the Usaine sect. It is a mine that provides a type of metal that is widely used to make formation discs and formation flags.
This was a significant resource point in the war given that production activities would increase as both sides were proficient in formation making.
In the war and after the war, this place was of great value to both sides.
Although the association wanted to launch a truly shocking attack, the sect members reacted quickly enough to avoid slaughter.
And that battle became a cruel dog fight for all cultivators to tear each other apart.
The battle involved more than three thousand cultivators from both sides combined and this caused a continuous chain reaction of attacks and revenge schemes, ambushes, and sneak attacks on the camp.
Every territory belonging to both regions of the central continent was in chaos.
And amidst this chaos, an army of artisan associations appeared out of nowhere on one of the islands of the Usaine sect and took over secretly. There the Usaine sect suffered heavy losses. The losses were so bad that not a single soldier survived even to bring the news back.
Even the activities of the citizens went on without a hitch. No one knows who took over the island, but they did quite a lot of it.
This place was one of the islands with active volcanoes and the craftsmen of the Usaine sect used this place for the production of their weapons as fire control and restoration, even help from volcanic lava is very beneficial for them.
But now it's gone.
By the time Usaine learned of this, they had surprisingly lost the first resource points as well.
To everyone's surprise, the Usaine sect lost the first two major battles of the war.
No one, not even Sam expected this.
Then only he understood that the association was stronger than he had imagined. He was now thinking about whether he should be involved in the war or not.
While he thought like that, some other news emerged and it was three small islands near the central continent which were animal farms of the Inscription association captured by the Usaine sect and two mines of the association of captured craftsmen.
Not only that, the next day another news came out and that was when the three associations wanted to capture another mine of the Usaine sect, they fell into a trap and more than half of their troops in their territory were finished.
In addition, the formation association forces and the Usaine sect were involved in a sea war.
All of this happened because the Usaine sect and the three associations were too close to each other.
Sam really wanted to pull the rope and make it even more chaotic; he was very tempted to do so. But he had to wait because there would be some form of trouble after this war was over and he waited for it. This could happen in the next two months at the end of the year and it was a war that was halted in the middle and the Usaine sect probably took aim at Sam after realizing their folly due to the bloodshed.
If that doesn't happen, he has other plans. He took out a few more blueprints and gave them to the production team.
There are new types of ships and one of them is a big project that they are going to do. To that end eighty percent of the production team will be working and even students from different departments can take part in it and most of the work will be done outside because it is definitely a project of some people, he said, not one person.
Except for the spare parts that can be produced in its production unit, everything will be made by someone else.
It will be a complete naval fleet. Except for the aircraft carriers and submarines, everything will be there and there is some kind of combination of formations inside.
While designing the first ship, Sam got more trouble in designing the moving mechanism. It will use a water jet controlled by a user of the water element to move. And there is also a backup engine that is actually a steam engine.
The ship will definitely work with a steam engine but it won't be that fast.
Now that the ship's movement was complete and the backup engine design was also completed, Sam didn't have to worry about the rest.
When Production members and craftsmen saw the design, they were stunned. They had not expected that there would be this much complicated work and work.
But they were even more surprised when Sam said that the most outstanding of all workers would be selected and trained in Marine-style weapons, vehicles, and other types of engineering items. Sam promised to give them a thorough course on how to approach this.
And thus manufacturing began in the eastern sea of the western continent.
From the world map, there was actually a possible sea route to the Usaine sect from this place, but it was almost impossible to pass through this sea with powerful beasts unless a Perfect realm expert helped them.
While they were there, Sam went to the valley of the tempest to bring back one of his uncle beasts.
He took her to the Divine dimension and went to the west sea.
It was time for him to expand his army beyond the human army. Although, there were some preparations made against the beast army just for land. Now he will recruit an army of animals from the waters and after two weeks, three cities from the southern star filled with Dolphins in their ocean waters are freed from their troubles.
Dolphins disappeared.
After two months, Sam realizes that his problem did not come as he had hoped. The war escalated to new heights as people died one after another on the battlefield.
It seemed that only one side would survive and it would be heavily damaged.
He kept abreast of the news from time to time and focused on manufacturing and at the same time, new formation techniques he saw on the meteorite island.
One is complete production activity and the other is research with complete brain activity.
The ships are being assembled day by day and the ships are being produced simultaneously.
This will be one of Sam's masterpieces to date.
The fleet will have five amphibious assault ships as the center of the formation and have a total of fifty corvettes, forty frigates, forty destroyers, and more, thirty cruisers with a total of one hundred and sixty ships in one fleet.
Work is underway with about a thousand artisans on-site. Even new craftsmen are allowed to work.
Sam decided to increase his speed of work because the attack he anticipated did not come and he had to prepare to attack himself after the war was over. And that too, he had to move quite quickly before the other great powers moved.
He had to destroy the Usaine sect with his own hands. Otherwise, all these efforts will be in vain.
He ignited this war with so much effort. It took so many people and so much planning and execution.
What he did not know was that all the chiefs of the major powers were also waiting in the same way.
They knew what was going on and there were some shady things going on that were being led by some great powers and the war was being escalated by them.
What should have been a minor quarrel had been dragged to this point. The main force completely stopped the employees taking positions in the tower to help the three associations that caused the army deficit and the association damage to be greatly increased.
Slowly, six months passed since the war began and four months passed in the second year.
Right now, Sam's making a lot of things. He sent some mercenaries to the remaining empire under the thunder god temple and was almost subdued. It's almost as good as it's done.
At the same time, Sirona and Philip wreaked havoc in the kingdom of the Usaine sect. They rob a lot. In fact, a little too much than Sam thought. Except for the Eastern continent, which was relatively independent of the Usaine sect, all the other kingdoms had almost lost their resources. Sam reached a breakthrough to the newborn fifth level.
Finally, his speed slowed down for others to see. But he slowed his cultivation because the Nascent stage was rather important. He began to purify his body and soul so that he could have a greater foundation for the later stages.
Even though he was an intermediate stage Nascent, his combat strength was extremely high due to the constant suppression. He decided that he would only breakthrough to the next stage after another year.
And the next one will take more than a year. This way, he might lag behind the others but he will get a good result in the later stages.
He realized this then only after he broke through to the fourth level.
After all, the war had finally reached its final stage and the news was that the Consumers had experienced some minor battles and they would soon be doing the final battle.
Sam decided that he should move at this time. Because of Arc, his strongest subordinate had broken through the Refinement stage last month and he even brought one of his beast uncles to stand guard.
Simultaneously, he had the guardian of the meteorite island rock pillar, the monkey king's hair, and his Navy fleet.
He's ready to overcome Major's power. But before that, he had to find a suitable base from where he could deploy these troops in disguise and he had the perfect place in his mind.
