This ti, the extra soldiers in disguise has to take a step forward. They cannot just wait there. And so of them wanted to barge them with numbers and even the supervisors are thinking on how to react.
They knew about the situation and this Duke’s son although a jerk and a useless fool, he is still the favourite child of the Duke. If he was really killed here, then Duke might take their anger out on them.
In fact, the extra soldiers in disguise are also for this type of scenarios.
They even had so under the table deal with the southern star Duke....
The Deal, is the southern star supervisors will turn a blind eye as long as they don’t make it obvious and the glory of the Peac.o.c.k will be exaggerated and spread, in return the Red rock town will not be occupied.
After looking at Sam’s performance Duke was even more worried about Sam taking action against them, so he made this deal...
Right now, Sam is looking at the town citizens who are a bit away from the collapsed town wall and then he diverted his attention towards the shivering peac.o.c.k and the Deputy.
They are all thinking on how to deal with the situation, when a long spear was shot from the back of the crowd of citizens.
The spear was covered in the wind energy and it was directed towards one of the cannons. Just from the energy Sam could see that it was work of a Great realm warrior mage but he seems to be in Level 1 or 2.
Not much powerful.
But Sam didn’t move at all, just as the spear was about to hit the cannon, there are several layers of defensive formations that appeared not only around the cannon but also the shooter. They are more than five low-level rank 3 defensive formations that he inscribed. They are more than enough to stop an attack from a middle stage Great mage.
The shooter at the cannon was frightened but he didn’t move because there was no order from Sam, this was ingrained into his bones, in a battle, he has to follow all the orders.
At the sa ti, several other spears were also shot, so of them even shot towards him, but Sam didn’t care, he swiftly dodged them and they landed behind him creating so decent craters.
After a volley of unfruitful attacks, Sam started took out an arrow, he nocked it on the bow, the arrow’s tip is sowhat glowing.
As he stretched the bow string, he started drawing the energy from the energy cells of the Harbinger. As the arrow started glowing with the wind elental energy, he aid at a certain corner and released it at the sa ti as he shouted a command.
"Fire."
The arrow disappeared in an instant and it hit a person squarely in the chest at the back of the crowd as it made a long parabolic trajectory in the air.
As soon as it hit that person, the spiritual energy explosion took place. This is a special arrow whose tip is a small energy cell he made. He destabilized the energy cell before releasing it.
Sam didn’t stop there, he shot arrows after arrow while the cannons fired the shells. The Deputy is still conflicting on how to salvage the situation and the supervisors are also thinking on what to do next.
The one who talked to Sam already passed the info that Sam is an expert in many professions and particularly the rank 5 badge is one that could deter them.
Professions are important. They are essential for the cultivators and one had to respect those professionals.
If Sam died in the battle normally, no one would say a thing but if he was killed unfairly, things would get complicated.
It was okay if the information was sealed, but so many town’s residents are here and the news will get out sooner or later which would make the artisans and other professions displeased.
Many people pursue their professions and are proud of the status, respect and the protection it gives them. If these three things are invalid, what is the point of them being a professional and selling their services, they can simply use them for themselves and completely hide them from the outside world.
Which will make it hard for the normal cultivators.
After all, if the news of Sam being sent to the war as part of the competition and him being killed in not so fair ans is already enough to sha the southern star dukedom and the empire, this will make the cultivators loose trust in the army and rulers.
And if the person died is also expert and a genius in this many fields and was still killed in conspiracy, those in that professions will also despise them which they don’t want.
That is the reason, Duke only allowed slight and not so obvious traps and tricks. He didn’t want to attract public outrage.
Now they had to consider all these factors when dealing with Sam, but the ti is tight. The cannon shells are making the whole place chaotic. The citizens ran for their lives, and the cannons are slowly moving forward as they are closing into the city.
Many soldiers in disguise who attacked Sam through spears are dead due to arrows and many normal citizens are also dying.
Now the soldiers are close to abandoning their posts. Right now, they are not being targeted but the tornt of the screams of agony and the chaos is making them loose their mind. They looked at the dead bodies, running citizens, destroyed house, everything is making them angry and despaired at the sa ti.
They looked at Sam in trepidation and then at the Peac.o.c.k with determination, all of them are having the sa thoughts. Even the deputy is having the sa thought.
Peac.o.c.k looked at the soldiers who has their eyes on him and imdiately felt that sothing is going to happen to him.
"NO, NO. YOU cannot hand over. You cannot. My father is a duke, he will kill you all..."
He started crying hysterically but the Deputy still caught him and another soldier near him also helped.
They dragged him towards the cannon line up. Sam slowly descended. They threw the peac.o.c.k like a dog on the floor.
Sam slamd his foot on the other guys shoulder making him prostrate in front of him, then he placed his leg on the back of his head and pressing his forehead to the ground as he said in an icy cold voice.
"You called sothing earlier, can you repeat that?" His voice was filled with killing intent and blood l.u.s.t he released without any boundaries. He let himself loose. All the surrounding people felt suffocated.
They cannot help but divert their looks away from Sam and take deep breaths to calm down. So even took so steps back so they could stay a bit far from him.
All this happened when the killing intent is still directed at the Peac.o.c.k.
Peac.o.c.k who is the pri target peed in his pants.
Sam smirked and said in a cold voice that shook his soul.
"You called filth didn’t you, what makes you think you are noble than , what makes you think you are superior than ?
Your Birth as a Noble?
Your father’s strength?
Your army?
But none of them are stopping from stepping on your head and none of them is making you stop peeing on yourselves.
Rember one thing.
A Peac.o.c.k who only knows to feel proud of its feathers, should never dare to, do you hear , DARE to comnt on the majesty of a Roc."
*squash*
As soon as his words were finished, Sam crushed the head like a water lon. The head exploded as brain matter splashed around with the blood.
The others looked at the scene as they shivered. They saw grueso deaths, they saw clean deaths, they even saw soone beating to death, torturing to death, but death under the feet of the enemy while grovelling in weakness, is first ti for them.
It felt awful just imagining it.
At this mont Deputy looked at Sam and said.
"You can take him, but we have a request, treat us as war criminals and arrest us with a lighter sentence. We don’t have any life in our empire anymore." Sam just nodded.
The war criminals are very common, they are mostly forcefully caught or people that are surrendered in a war. There are now around three hundred people left in the initial battalion and all of them beca war criminals now.
Since, they voluntarily surrounded and they might have so info that would be useful, they can get a lighter sentence and can live their life normally after that.
As Sam agreed, all of the soldiers quietly ca out of the town without any resistance. Sam looked at the supervisors who are coming towards him and waited on the spot.
Since, the peac.o.c.k is dead, then the challenge is over. The town of the enemy empire now officially belonged to the southern star dukedom.
Sam didn’t bother to entertain the supervisors, so before they could speak, he said to the supervisors of the peac.o.c.k side.
"The town will be under my control, I don’t care if you have any negotiations or any other deals in the upper echelon, but from the agreent you guys gave , the ti is under my control until the authorities on my side arrived.
I think, you better go to the town and ask the citizens who are unwilling to join our empire move out now and you better clean up those particular ’citizens’ who are going to ’help’ you in the war.
If I find any funny business going on, then there would be a mass genocide going to take place."
He then turned towards Marian and said.
"Inform the nearest military base from the red rock town. Ask them to co here as fast as they can. And the rest round up the prisoners and follow into the town hall. We are having our dinner there."
As he said that Sam hovered on Harbinger towards the town hall and the remaining soldiers started working.
