Chapter 2198 Plans and Results
The propagation of the Agmon faith in the Olympian city has been going on for some time.
Alton was very sneaky with the way he chose his targets. His primary focus was on the people that are not affiliated with any academy. They are the most desperate ones right now. Even if they managed to snag a mission or two and earned the weekly payment for the hub, they are being targeted by the academy forces.
Since they don't have any backing, they don't have any protection from the city guards as well.
Even the people that they were previously serving had turned their backs on them and left these people to survive on their own. This made them vulnerable and open to this new path. They were easily persuaded and no one actually missed them in the academy realm, when they went to the Church of Agmon.
Alton even went as far as showcasing his payment status in the Hub's interface.
It clearly showed that his payment hasn't been made for a couple of weeks already, but he was still alive and well. This made them have more faith in him and in turn they became followers of the faith of Agmon.
Sam still doesn't know what their plans are at the moment. But he is looking forward to see their actions.
For now, they only seemed to want to recruit more people and there is certainly some brainwashing going on during the onboarding process.
While Sam was observing the situation, he got messages from other players one by one. There is a message from the couple, Noah and Kumar as well.
Even though Sam didn't keep in contact with them and kept a distance, he wasn't openly hostile to them either. Their messages came one after another with not much time gap between them. All the messages talked about the same thing.
Christos' enquiry.
They must have gathered to discuss this before deciding to send a message to Sam. The message contents were similar, but there is also different behind each.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com
Donner was just warning him out of goodwill, saying that Christos seemed to be quite intent on digging the information out.
Arkiv asked if Sam needed any help. Surprisingly, even Akhil offered help saying that he would be open if things really got serious. Noah and Kumar... well he could sense that they wanted to offer his help, but they are also aware of their awkward status.
Before, Kumar asked Sam of something that he shouldn't and Noah being his partner, stuck with him to the end.
Sam is not particularly angry with either of them, but he did feel a bit of detachment with Kumar after this.
After all, Sam has repeatedly helped them and even held back whenever it comes to the players. The least he expected from them is that they wouldn't want him to forsake his personal grudge.
Anyway, he is glad that messages came. Even though he knew what happened because of his surveillance.
He also knew that he doesn't have to do much when it comes to Christos. He himself has a lot to deal with and he would just fall into a trap of his own set up.
Bloody Chariot went to meet the Elder who in charge of the formation making. He made three formations.
"Sir, these are the three variations that I could think of. One of them is a formation that is made to perform certain functions that are related to energy control. Like charging, discharging, arming, etc."
As he said, he guided Bloody Chariot to the first formation. It wasn't exactly big, it was only as big as a basketball court.
It is a small formation.
The reservoir of the energy is quite visible as a smaller layered formation was laid down in the middle of it. The massive energy reservoir was not visible to the naked eye, but Bloody Chariot could easily sense it.
He connected himself with the formation and tried to control it.
He could feel all kinds of elements within the formation. There are some energy channels built into it to do certain tasks.
For example, there are some phantom crossbows mounted at the edge of the formation. They could be armed by controlling the formation directly.
There are also uses, there is an invisible system built to create an energy explosion of some sorts. All of this can be done remotely with a range of few hundred meters.
"We can use this method to set up many more actions, sir. However, based on the complexity of the actions and the number, we might need to alter the energy storage capacity and the formation structure itself."
Bloody Chariot checked the reservoir and frowned.
"The energy consumption is way too high. It would take a mine or two to control it every day. The atmospheric energy is not enough to run this, is it?"
"You are right, sir. This is not a viable option for long term. In my opinion, it could used as an emergency defense system or even a trap mechanism. It could only be used once and it has to be reset properly. It cannot be used as a continuous mechanism."
"Okay. What is next?"
They moved on the second formation.
"This formation has much more freedom in your movement. Please try it."
The formation indeed has much freedom. The elder even arranged the same case that Bloody Chariot mentioned as a test.
A coin toss.
However, Bloody Chariot is not really that impressed by this.
The formation operated based on the spirit. Based on Bloody Chariot's command, the spirit will manifest the energy from the reservoir to have physical presence. It tossed the coin like an actual human would.
