The Cement is a success. So, the construction process was extremely easy. As cultivators, one thing they don't have to bother about was lifting weights. So, they can create structures of any size and bind them with the cement.

There is no longer a need to wait for one layer after another to do so.

The student who created this didn't rush to file the patent, he is confident that no one would dare to steal this from him.

Within four days, the construction was complete because of the new binding agent. Due to a large number of architects, they could make this happen faster.

When the citizens saw the majestic structure appear in the city in such a short amount of time, they couldn't help but be in awe of it.

After that, the next four days, the formation of masters and the Inscription master took over and started doing their job.

On top of the tower, some of the artisans are working on installing the communication hub.

After they are done with it, they stayed within the city for the next two and days a mercenary from another city came to visit them, to invite them over to construct a similar tower to their mercenary team.

The same thing repeated for the next few days and the architect department team started spreading. With a Nascent stage cultivator leading each team, there are ten teams and everyone started working on ten towers at the same time.

Even though it wouldn't be possible for them to complete the whole thing in four days, like this time, they would still be able to deal with this in a little more than a week.

There are twenty mercenary teams and their plan is to finish the construction in a month and a half. After all, the time is on tight here. The higher-ups know that there is going to be a war. So, there is no way they would slack off.

While this construction is going on, Sam is once again in seclusion. With the war nearing, he has to make something that could help them. Of course, most of the new accessories are outsourced to his factories, but there are some things which are better for him to make.

He drowned himself in research while the training of the troops increased. Their resources increased. Mackey and his team are going through hell to retain spiritual energy and increase the effectiveness of the meals. On top of that, Sam just slammed a hundred or so recipes on his head and he has to make sure that more than half of the troops should have a breakthrough.

Apart from that, even the students are receiving combat training. All this while, it is optional. But Sam decided that it would be better to be prepared and at least the students would have enough knowledge to escape the crisis if push comes to shove. He doesn't want to see a slaughter.

The training was led by Watt as he is more experienced in this area. He has seen firsthand how Sam will train his troops and he even helped him train the first Sam's battalion.

Now, he is going to train more of such battalions at the moment.

Although, Sam's troops are not exactly too large and there are barely five thousand members at present and if he counts the three thousand students, they would be eight thousand. He is concentrating on quality over quantity.

Apart from that, Sam's beasts all took some important roles at this time.

Mia is responsible for eating and creating poisons. Her body is a natural reservoir for poison and an even more astonishing thing is, one of her head has the capability of consuming any poison and making it her own.

So, she started consuming two to three poisons and mixing them up within her system and see what the effects are.

The Pharmacy department does have a subsidiary department of poison masters. But they are only around twenty people in that department who are focused on developing and curing poisons.

Luckily there are two Nascent stage poison masters and they are having the time of their life.

The poisons Mia created are not only a new research material, they are also thinking of new possibilities.

As for the remaining beasts, they started roaming the forests of the Western continent for the past half a month. Nobody knows what they are doing except for Sam and his friends.

But even then, there are some exceptions and one of them is Shadow mouse. The shadow mouse led the rest of the shadow mice and this time, they are not ten with the addition of six new members out of which four are now considered grownup. The fourteen of them started making their move.

They are sent to Arsin along with a new modified device Sam made.

It is a recording crystal similar to the body came. But its size is so small that they are fit on the shadow mice perfectly.

They are there to gather as much intelligence as possible, so they could assist Sirona.

He decided to take different approaches in Adrian and Arsin.

Adrian doesn't have the thunder god temple's influence by too much, because the empire doesn't have any specialized resources, and all the temple needs are taxes. As for the Arsin, it is full of metals which are used for weapon-making and formation discs, and many other things.

This is the foundation of Usaine sect and they are in total control of the nation.

So, he couldn't just send a bunch of mercenaries there and let them grow the influence. No matter how much they develop, they wouldn't be able to surpass the Usaine sect in a short amount.

That is why, he took a new approach and since Sirona is in charge, all he gave her are some things that she can use to her advantage based on the situation of Arsin.

As for how she uses it, it is her business. He only helped her with the intelligence by sending Shadow mice there.

He explained about shadow mice and gave the beast pouches to her, she was surprised at first, because she doesn't know such a beast even existed.

After that, she took them and the spatial ring Sam gave which also consisted of the details on how to use them along with the items themselves.

These items are mostly from the spatial ring Sam got from the Old One.

He already gave out the pills which are of increasing spiritual energy and aiding cultivation to the School and organization so that they would be given out as rewards. But there are some high-level pills and some pills with nasty uses with him.

And he is using some of the later ones.

Sirona started thinking of a plan when she read the contents and the next day, she decided that it would be best to enter Arsin right this moment, but just when she was about to leave, Philip came running to her and said.

"I will also come with you."

"Why? I can deal with this alone."

"I am sure you can. But it wouldn't hurt to have an extra hand."

Sirona didn't refute him and just let him be.

And in a few days, in the city of Arsin, a new tavern appeared and the people are saying that the wine of the tavern is extremely exceptional and that is the best wine they ever tasted.

Sirona and Philip are wearing some normal clothes and some disguises as they tended to the customers in the tavern.

"Yo, kid. Where did you get this type of wine? We never tasted this stuff ever before."

One of the customers asked.

"Well, that is the result of years of our research from my master and me. He dedicated all his life to creating the best wine on the planet. He recently passed away and here I am trying to pass down his fruits of labor to the rest of the world so that his glory will not disappear."

"Great master, Great wine."

That person raised the wine to toast.

At this moment, the shadow mice are already all over the city and covering as much information as possible.

Within a few days, the news of the tavern was completely all over the city and even the officials started focusing on this.

But the high-level officials are not going to come here directly, the first people who came are the city guards.

When Sirona saw them, theirs wasn't taken out from the same Wat as the other customers. Of course, they don't know that.

When they drank that wine, they couldn't help but feel ecstatic. There is not just one kind of wine in the tavern and in fact there are five kinds of wines and each wine is in two wats.

The business is booming, but there is no shortage of wine there. At this moment, Mackey has a large team of more than two hundred people and fifty of them are only responsible for brewing wine.

After the first week, they even brought a chef from the team to make some snacks for the customers who demanded that their own snacks are not going well with the wine.
