Sandra looked at Sam with keen eyes. The clash of mental attacks just now is something only she and Sam knew, Chatur could only see that something went wrong, but he couldn’t understand what is going on.
She took a deep breath and said.
"Okay then. I need a weapon for a specific purpose. To hold something in place and create damage at the same time. I don’t want the victim to be dead immediately and it would be better if they wouldn’t die at all.
Can you make one like that?"
"What kind of creature are we talking about, humanoid? Fish? Naga? A four-legged beast? It depends and what kind of restriction do you want? In what kind of terrain they should be restricted? How much of a restriction do you want? Unconscious? Devoid of motion? Slow down? How big the creature would be?
I need more detail, Miss Sandra. I need you to be more specific."
Sandra was stunned for a second. After all, Sam is just denying everything as long as he has to part with the design completely, but now he is asking for specifications. Seeing her confusion, he smiled and said.
"It is not that I am agreeing to give you the design. I am a businessman. I am not against talking terms. So, since you want to talk about the specifications, we will see what you want, and then I will decide whether I will sell you a design."
She then started explaining what kind of specifications she wanted and Sam took a mental note of that as he imagined what kind of machine he should make for that.
The main problem is that the weapon should work underwater and they are most needed to catch some water-type beasts.
Merman planet is mostly comprised of water and there is only around fifteen percent of land and the rest of it is the ocean.
Even the Naga that stays there is mostly a sub-race of normal Nagas the Water Serpent Nagas. They can survive in water. But they are still Nagas and their appearance and the final form of their bodies doesn’t look much different from the normal Nagas in the Nagin Planet, except that their skin and flesh are a bit different and Nagas never discriminated against them.
Most of the Nagas and the Mermen on that planet stay in underwater cities. As for the land, it is mostly occupied by the normal beasts and some Normal Nagas that are present there and some land is used by the Water Serpent Nagas and the Mermen as their bases to get the resources from the land.
But still, the ocean is ten times more dangerous than land. And both the Nagas and the Mermen are not the true species that is on top of the food chain.
The sea creatures are. There are many species that outnumber these two races and outdo them in strength.
As for fishermen, they are an even lesser race than humans in the eyes of Nagas and the mermen have a little better opinion of the fishmen than the Nagas.
All these three humanoid races lose a lot of people every year and due to their production rate being higher than even humans, they are still able to survive.
Now Sandra is asking for a weapon that could help them survive against a shark species and other species of similar size and strength.
He has some ideas and said.
"It is not that difficult. And I can sell the design. What can you offer me for that? Because a rainbow Kelp cannot be sufficient for that design."
Sam decided to sell that because the design will only be properly effective in the water. Even though he can make a variant that could work on the land with very small adjustments, he is not against selling the design.
If it is the design of the puppets or grenades, then that would have thought otherwise. They are his opening business offers, when he wants to enter the market in a new place. But he is not that interested in the Merman Planet. As long as he could get a source to get their natural resources, he can part with a design that was born due to their custom ideas.
"How are you so sure that a rainbow Kelp is not sufficient?" She asked.
Sam thought for a bit and said.
"I will have a prototype along with the weapon with me in a few days and I will show you a demonstration, in fact, I can even demonstrate on your own planet if you want me to. Then we will decide how much it is truly worth.
"Sounds great to me." She shook his hands once again and both of them had smiles on their faces, there is not a trace of their clash that happened a few minutes ago.
They came out and used Sky and started their journey back to the Nagin castle.
"Where can we get some beasts, that are good to eat? Like rabbits, pigeons like that? Do you know any place like that?"
"There is a small forest over there and there is all kinds of small creatures there. There is a herd of deer, but they are fast and dangerous. Not many people would venture there to catch them. If you get caught you will die.
But I heard they taste extremely good."
"Show me the way. It has been a while since I had a venison steak."
When they arrived at the place, Sam noticed the beasts, they are called Gale deer. They are extremely fast and only moved in a herd. But they are not as fast as Sky.
With a mere thought, Sky dove down like a flash and made chatur let out a shrill cry. Sky dove down and caught a deer and rose high. It is all in one swift move and the deer couldn’t even react. Sam is glad that he at least has his beast companions by his side and he can use them now.
They went back to the Nagin Palace and when they are inside the stone house, Sam felt like the place is not big enough.
"Is there an open place nearby? Without any trees and a big enough clearing."
Chatur nodded and led him there. Everyone in the castle is looking at them in surprise. They didn’t expect someone would catch a Gale deer and when they heard that he is the new special commander, they are even more surprised.
The news about his base capture along with the assistance of only one person is something that turned their surprise into shock.
Since yesterday the six commanders are trying to get in touch with him. The remaining five commanders are still trying to get familiar with the situation. But he already took a base from the Union sect.
The six commanders were threatened by Sam’s actions, so they wanted to put him down a little with some of their authority. But he is nowhere to be seen since the squad arrived to take over the union sect’s base he took down.
At this moment, Sam is looking at the land he was on with satisfaction. He gave a tent and tools and asked Chatur to make one as he took out a grill and fired it up with charcoal. He made the charcoal himself before for situations .
While he skinned the beast. The beast is large and it is larger than a normal elephant. But at this moment, Sky grew extremely large and even this large deer is barely half its size.
He skinned the deer and kept the pelt before cutting down three large steaks and butchering the rest into large pieces.
He took out some herbs he would use as spices and started grilling the meat. After he was done, he kept the steaks and left the rest with Sky as he sent him and the meat into the divine dimension, so that the rest of the beasts could enjoy it.
Sam laid a table and asked Chatur to join him. He himself had two steaks and gave one to Chatur. But it is an extremely large one and he even doubted that the other party will finish it and said.
"Don’t think about saving it up or something just because it is valuable and good to eat. My cooking is not something you could get often and mind you, I even clashed with the Imperial family because they wasted my food." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
Sam said jokingly and took out some wine as he started enjoying the juicy red meat.
But his peace didn’t stay long as one of the six commanders, the one that belonged to Mov empire is running towards him along with his subordinates.
"Sam, why did you not report when you took down a base like that? The Union sect will retaliate harder and they will become more offensive."
Sam didn’t interruption as he said.
"Are you in a war or playing house? Do you want the enemy to walk all over you? If you really want to win the war, just leave me alone and try to put more work into the defense and attacks. A base like that is chipping the forces of the Volcanic Cannon and you are doing nothing, only letting a squad of fifty defend it.
What do you think will happen in the next few days? In six days, the monthly quota will be shot out and they will definitely take that place before that.
And why do I even have to report this? My designation is the same as yours. Now, don’t disturb me when I am having the meal. This is the first and last time I am saying this."
