Chapter 181

This isn't Samuels first interaction with slave trading groups. They go between Low-Level planes and kidnap or purchase mortals to sell to other planes.

Samuels Thief Dogs had interacted with them many times. He had intercepted many of their convoys, but they were only weaker ones. The weaker ones often move in groups of 100 warriors.

And they only carry a few thousand slaves. But the Thief Dogs that he set up would loot them and take any valuables. After killing the convoy, he would take the slaves as family members for the Thief Dogs.

But the convoy that Serpentine Samuel found is definitely not small in scale. There were easily thirty thousand mortals trapped in carts being shuttled along.

They were protected by at least 1,000 warriors!

Naturally Serpentine Samuel couldn't forcibly attack. But he could purchase some.

So with the Dog of War as the leader, he brought out the remaining 100 Spiritual Crystals that he had on him and went to purchase some slaves.

''Excuse me, I wonder if you guys are selling your product?'' The dog of War approached with a smile on his face.

Quickly the convoy looked at the Dog of War, but seeing his Middle Rank 1 Strength he didn't see a threat.

Instead he viewed it as a potential customer.

''Of course! How many Spiritual Crystals do you have today?''

''100.''

Hearing the number, a flash of disdain filled the merchant's face, but he still willingly spoke.

''We can sell you 500 Slaves for that.''

''We want 1,000.''

''800?''

''Deal!'' The Dog of War quickly agreed. 800 Mortals is pretty good especially as he looked at the quality of the slaves.

All of them were beautiful and strong.

Such a foundation isn't bad for the cave mansion.

This transaction was quite small in the eyes of both parties. But mortals were much less valuable than puppet mortals. After all one is completely loyal and difficult to forge while the other isn't.

Such an interaction was small, but it built the foundation for the future of the Cave Mansion. Samuel only wanted to invest in a backup plan in case everything else goes wrong.

Quickly another 5 years passed. Dogs of War were still in retreat practising, Samuel had returned to Alchemy city once in the last five years and purchased enough Spiritual Pills to boost another 1,000 Dogs of War to Middle Rank 2.

This brings the number of Middle Rank 2 warriors in the Lestan plane to 2,000!

Samuels kids all rose steadily, and in the five years, Rebecca surprisingly gave birth to another son alongside her sister Lacy.

Rebecca was luckier this time, her son had a 3 Inch Spiritual Root, while Lacys surprisingly only had a one inch Spiritual root.

As for Owen and Arnold, they both reached High Rank 1.

Other than that, very little changed. 5 years is quick for Warriors, and soon another 5 years passed.

Surprisingly after 5 years the Dog of War organisation welcomed a new High Rank 2 Warrior. Lily!

She had successfully broken through just a week ago!

Samuel sat in his study admiring the handiwork of his time with the system. The number of dogs of war he has had directly grown to 175,000!

Lestan Plane, Eltorn Paradise and Caterpillar isles were all developing steadily. The Dog of War organisation had begun to interact with other Organisations in the city and was now well recognised.

Originally people were fearful of their relatively quick development, but recently Samuel slowed down the organisation's development which reduced people's suspicions.

At the same time the Wolves of War and Pups of War grew naturally without Samuels interference, they are now among the upper echelon of Rank F organisations.

The Thief Dogs of War unfortunately met with a bit of an accident. A squad of 100 thieves attempted to kidnap a passing princess from a Low Level Plane, but they didn't expect the princess to be a powerhouse!

She burst out with Middle Rank 2 power killing all 100 thieves immediately! After that experience they limited their actions, but they had made a lot of money before this.

Over the last twenty years since their creation, they had killed and robbed thousands of passing warriors. Those that were obedient were taken and transformed into Transitional Dogs of War, those that weren't, well they died.

Samuel hadn't touched a single penny of the stuff that they had stolen. It is all stored in a giant vault at the centre of the mountain range that they live in.

But now he was wanting to make good use of it. Over twenty years they saved a shocking 25 thousand Spiritual Crystals.

Except for common herbs, everything else was sold for Spiritual Crystals. This allowed them to collect a large amount of Spiritual Crystals just waiting for Samuel to collect!

Obviously he needed to boost the strength after they collected it, so he spent 5,000 Crystals on summoning One Inch Dogs of War for the organisation.

As for the rest, Samuel was saving it. He wanted to get his first three inch Spiritual root dog of war!

At least before the scourge breaks out. But he is only one fifth of the way there! Such prices couldn't help but make Samuel sweat.

From all sources, his income is around 1,000 Spiritual Crystals per year. This is after spending all the money for different materials and replacing the dead dogs of war.

Based on this pace it would take 80 more years to save up! And that's without any unexpected expenditures.

Luckily Samuel occupied the Lestan Plane, and he thinks it could definitely bring a few hundred Spiritual Crystals, but that's in the future. Samuel still needs to use all the profits from the Lestan Plane to develop it.

And the only other source of profits comes from the Mythril Mine. This alone brings Samuel an income of around 1200 Spiritual Crystals a year if he were to sell the Mythril.

Over the last twenty years he has collected around 25,000 Spiritual Crystals worth. The production was slightly slower than he expected because of Ore Creature attacks but it is still quick.

Soon Samuel had found a buyer in Alchemy city and sold it quickly. He got a total of 24,000 for it this time.
