THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 563. First Round

Soon the time to enter the Inheritance Palace had arrived.

The day before the entrance, Sam along with Arman, Arkiv, and Noah entered the Imperial Palace from there the Emperor slipped them out of the city and took them to the Imperial hunting grounds.

There was a residence inside the grounds and it was just a huge stone building without much facilities. They stayed there for one night and the next morning, the three candidates were escorted by an Imperial Prince, who was also the brother of the Emperor to the residence.

After dropping them, he did not stay there and left. The emperor then introduced the four of them to the three, but the introduction was brief and only the name was given.

The three candidates all looked at him with serious expressions. Because they thought they were coming through the back door. But they did not dare to voice that thought. At least they knew that since the Emperor had no intention of speaking and remained silent, then the situation was not something they could conclude.

But the prince was upset that they were all human.

Perhaps, he didn't inherit all of his father's traits, but what he didn't know was that the four of them could punch his butt like beating a little kid if he really tried something funny. After a few minutes they entered the Inheritance Palace and the first thing they encountered was another Avatar.

This time it's not Sanchez. The hall looks the same.

And the basic introduction to the rules of the Palace's inheritance was next.

He clearly mentioned one thing, which is that everyone is responsible for their own lives. In the previous Inheritance Palace, it was the Monkey King's challenge and he was kind enough to create a place that would save people's lives as long as they breathed.

The entire forest was enchanted and all the trees provided healing wood elements. But this time it's not guaranteed at all.

"You can pick a room and go in."

For some reason as if they knew how many people had entered, there were seven doors. But the players know better than that.

There was nothing in the Palace that needed to be surprised. They have seen too much in the last two visits.

Sam entered a room and inside was a large field and was wide open without any gifts. There was only a large field without a single blade of grass. All he could see was the brown ground everywhere.

Suddenly, a human silhouette appeared in front of him with a spear in his hand. His entire body emitted a thick commanding aura. This will create a sense of obedience in every normal person who experiences it.

Sam looked at her as he watched. He could vaguely guess who this person was, but he did not speak.

"I am Karthikeya, God of Heavenly War. This time, a total of twenty-two members appeared. You will compete with each other until only three of you are left. That means you will all be participating in three clashes, except one, which will be the lucky ones to go straight into the last 6 after the first round.

He will qualify from the second round and directly participate in the third round and that person will be selected based on your performance in the first round.

As for what you will be fighting against, it is the art of war. You will be thrown into a different scenario with the role of commander of two opposing sides and you will have to use your troops to fight your enemy forces to achieve your goals.

The scenarios and goals will be explained after your opponent is allocated. Everyone who loses or wins will definitely get some prizes, but it will only be given to you at the end of the Palace of inheritance.

There is no definite time limit for this Inheritance Palace, so once the final is over and the winner is determined, you will be released.

I'm hoping you're lucky."

With that Kartikeya's silhouette disappeared into thin air.

Sam felt a bright light cover his vision and envelop his hole before the entire space distorted and before he realized it, Sam found himself inside a room. He was covered in thick fur clothing. They appear to be made of bear skin. He sat at the head of the long table and on both sides, there were many people standing.

There was a large leather map on the table that showed pictures of the castle and there were several wooden pegs in various shapes placed around the castle.

There was a burning fireplace behind him, everyone standing seemed to stop in their actions like a video.

New information appeared in Sam's head along with a voice.

You were outnumbered four times and there wasn't much inventory in the castle that could sustain the people inside for days. The maximum time they could all last was five days. You've completed the operation in five days."

In addition, there is a lot of other information about the dimensions, position, and climatic conditions of the castle. Apparently, it's winter and the cold outside is unbearable.

There was a lot of snow piled up on the castle walls, corridors, and everywhere.

The main information that Sam focused on was that he and his troops, no one had spiritual energy of any kind. They are all ordinary people. After digesting all the information, the action of the entire room resumed and the people standing slowly sat down after Sam greeted them.

Sam once again heard all their reports regarding the enemy forces and their current condition before saying.

“Dragon wall for now and stop all attempts of people trying to climb it. As for the flow, they had already frozen, there was no way they could enter, so don't worry.

For now, send guards to maintain order within the castle and properly distribute the food source. There should be no riots. If people are starving, they will find a way out of the situation, and surrendering to the enemy is the best of all.

Make sure that the Queen and the Prince are in their room and send two servants to stay in the same room. They can't go in and out. Food must be delivered directly by the soldiers. And only at my command. No one should have any contact with the Queen or the Prince.

How's the temperature outside?"

"Sir, the temperature is very cold. The soldiers did not even dare to drink water outside."

Sam nodded and thought hard.

"How close is the enemy to the wall?"

"They're not too far sir, they're trying their best to climb the wall because the archers aren't much use to them. Our defense is strong, but from what they see, they are obviously trying their best to exhaust our supplies. We learned that the last spy we caught had already sent a message before we could kill him."

"Then let's give them a nice surprise."

Sam doesn't know the time limit and doesn't care at all. Once he knew there was a lot of snow, he knew that he was going to win. Most people may not think dirty like him, but winning is winning, no matter what.

One should not be too concerned with arrogance when the matter of life and death is decided. After all, their numbers were too many, to begin with.

Sam ordered to light fires in many places in the castle and all the commoners who came were given the task of shoveling snow into wooden barrels and putting it on fire to make water.

Sam definitely should not use drinking water for such an operation. In this winter, it is also an important provision. So, he could only be satisfied with the snow.

When the soldiers heard the order, they were confused. But not too long.

When they gathered the hot water barrels, they immediately understood.

His barrel was not too big, so that a soldier could carry it directly, he quickly ran up to the castle wall and poured boiling hot water directly onto the soldier who was trying to climb the wall.

If the water was at room temperature, then it would definitely freeze before it reached the enemy and it would be no different from hitting them with ice.

But now, the situation was different, as long as the water hit them, it was enough.

Then only Sam realized that there was a catapult on the castle wall and he could only grin.

He ordered the soldiers to use a slingshot to throw a barrel of hot water through the catapult.

And just like that the enemy soldiers who were near the castle all experienced a hot rain of water.

When the water hit them, they felt nothing. The water did not boil hot by the time it reached them, it was warm and they even felt good, but what happened next was something they did not expect at all.
