Sam waited on the remote land for some time, probably thinking that the other battle would end. But the wait continues. There was no day or night on that field, he sat there, he rolled and he even slept for some time.
He almost lost his sense of time after a while. After some time, he thought he might as well practice and start body refining. Although he worked every day with many things, he always practiced for some time in one way or another. It's just that he won't spend as much time as his other friends.
But now that he had plenty of time and an environment with spiritual energy with a density higher than that of an ordinary atmosphere, he might as well use it.
He did not know how long he had been practicing, but he continued refining his body and practicing his fighting techniques.
I don't know how long it had been, he finally woke up from his stupor. Karthikeya's silhouette appeared once again and Sam put his clothes back on and began to recover his energy.
"You are released from the second round, but you have to wait for the remaining people to finish their second round. I'll be back in five days."
With that, the silhouette disappeared once again. Sam felt this should be the most boring inheritance Palace he had ever entered. The first test is too easy and the second test is passed and the third happens, either way. He felt like he was wearing unnecessary clothes.
He once again took off his coat and vest before returning to training.
After five days, Sam did not get any more notice, a bright light once again enveloped him when he was in the middle of training and he disappeared.
He once again appeared in a room, but this time, his appearance had not changed at all. He was still sweating and bare-chested.
The room was only one table and there was a huge holographic map on it. He looked around and there were three windows to the room and one of them had a view towards the large forest and he could vaguely see the hills in the distance. The second window has a long view of the beach and the last one has a wide view of the sea.
He's on the top floor of the tower. There is no door on the wall, but there is one on the floor that may have a staircase leading down.
He tried to open it but it didn't work.
He wanted to see if he could jump out of the window, but it was also impossible as an unknown force prevented him from jumping down. He could only sigh and sit back in his chair.
Suddenly some information appeared and the holographic map brightened up.
After digesting all the information in his head, Sam understood what a test was.
It's more like a tower defense game.
The goal is to get the flag in the opponent's tower while defending his own.
He scanned the map closely, the game had yet to begin. There was still an hour for him to plan and within this hour.
The rules of the game are simple. All he had to do was, use a hundred newborn stage cultivators under his command to defend the tower and at the same time seize the opponent tower.
Right now, Sam was looking at a three-dimensional holographic map in front of him. Map of the entire terrain of the island on which they are located.
He could see the two towers clearly. One had a red flag on it and the other tower across the island had a blue flag on it.
It is red in color and its troops are also marked as red dots with a colored hue indicating the use of their elements.
All of his troops were currently marching in front of the tower and waiting for his orders.
As for the terrain, the entire island has a stream that comes from the middle of the valley surrounded by hills on the other side of the island. The blue tower is located right next to the origin of the river.
The map is divided into two parts.
Half is red and the other half is blue. Sam can move his troops anywhere in the red area within an hour.
He could see all the positions and situations in his zone.
But as for the blue zone, all he could see was the terrain, he could not see the position of his enemy soldiers and the situation of the other half. However, it was not absolute, when his soldiers intervened, he could see the situation around his soldiers.
He could see everything within their sensory range and a little more.
After checking the terrain, Sam looked for a special place. There are some details about the animals that live on the island.
There were no large animal families with hundreds of them. The largest animal family had barely fifteen members.
Aside from the habitat of the beasts, he was also looking for a possible ambush point in the enemy area.
As for his own terrain, Sam did not think of making many ambushes. But he observed the terrain and possible ways the enemy could infiltrate and move forward.
He's looking for any leads he might need. This hour is the time he can do whatever he wants. He could not infiltrate enemy territory and the enemy could not do the same for him. But everything else in this hour is fair play and there is even a more special privilege that there will be no travel time for the soldiers in this hour. They would just show up, wherever he wanted them to appear.
Sam then saw the soldiers. They all have serial numbers. There were five elemental users and all of them were Warrior-Mage. Fire, water, wind, earth, and Wood. Twenty soldiers of each element.
He thought for a while and started moving them into his territory as he ordered them to do some things.
As for how he commanded, all he had to do was suppress the warrior indicator with spiritual energy and voice his orders to him.
He could even do that to many people at once.
Sam left thirty soldiers near the tower and they all made preparations according to Sam's orders.
As for the seventy remaining soldiers, all of them were scattered.
And in particular the twenty of them cooperated to various ambush points within his territory.
The last fifty members were divided into five squads with each squad having two users of each element and they were all deployed to various positions to move towards the enemy tower.
After arranging all the things, Sam smiled and waited for the show to start and he didn't have to wait long.
He took out a bottle of wine and some grilled meat as he prepared to issue an order.
As soon as the time of the competition started, he could already see many blue dots on the side of his map. On the border of two regions. The blue dots moved faster and deeper into its territory from several points.
Sam saw their path of travel and spread his spiritual energy throughout the field for all his soldiers to hear.
"Stay on the Plan until I say otherwise. Do not attack your own troops even by mistake. As soon as you see your opponent, you can activate the trap and escape to anywhere possible or try to return to the tower."
With that, he sat down and relaxed.
At this moment, within the forest, a team of blue soldiers were running at extreme speed. This is a team of five and they are very fast. Of the five, two are wind element users and two wood element users and land element users.
Looks like they're a surveillance team. But Sam doesn't know their abilities and only knows that five of them ran through the forest. They follow the river. They must have been thinking of reaching the red tower from the side after reaching the end of the river where he joined the sea.
This is not a bad plan actually, considering that no one would think that someone would make such a detour.
This is the longest route to the tower.
However, after they reached a certain distance, they suddenly stopped and looked around. Their commander sent an order that a red soldier was in the vicinity and they stopped. Their sensory range was not very large and their commander could not see that there was not one but two red soldiers.
As the blue team looked around vigilantly, they heard a loud rumbling from the side.
Right at that moment, a huge burning wood was fired into the deeper forest where the small fox tribe lived. They are very agile and cruel animals. Pyro Foxes. When a large burning redwood shoots into its habitat, it destroys the environment and soon becomes enraged.
They looked in that direction and immediately started running.
The red warriors who activated their trap left the place and both of them ran in different directions and they even appeared in front of the blue team.
The blue team wanted to part ways but they could hear the furious roar and stampede of the ferocious beasts and before they realized it, the Pyro fox had already followed them.
