Chapter 739: Robin Strikes Again

Sam looked at the two pieces of the centaur's corpse in front of him and threw the halberd away.

Initially, there are ten people who were running towards Sam, but now that one of them is gone in an instant, the remaining nine people halted in their tracks.

Sam walked towards the next opponent without waiting for their advance. The next one is a Half-Elf.

He is fast, but not fast enough to escape. Even his agility didn't help him dodge when Sam kicked straight in his face.

He fell on his back and Sam just stood on him with one foot on his chest and the other on his face.

He constantly stomped his face and soon the head was buried into the loose soil and cracked after hitting a solid rock.

The ten of them are clearly not a team, they just came together on someone else's instructions, but when they saw Sam's savage nature and the leisure expressions of the trio without any sign of anxiousness, they are starting to get worried.

They are actually the criminals that are supposed to be in the prison and some official in charge of the prison or an official that has influence big enough to let ten criminals out made them have a go at him after making sure that he didn't have a house or a residence in the city.

Sam kind of guessed this from the meteor strike. The strike would have made a serious damage to him. The energy is too much in that one attack and even if Sam managed to destroy it, the rocks would be easily destroyed, but the remains will destroy the surroundings which would be blamed on Sam.

It is just a trap that has a few outcomes that are beneficial to the hidden party that is planning something against Sam.

But that didn't stop Sam from getting angry. The house is his after all. Not anyone can destroy it at their whim and not pay a price for that.

So, Sam wanted to send a message.

And he is doing so. For the next five minutes, it is a heartless slaughter and the whole area was dyed in blood. He held a large battle hammer in his hands as he stood in front of the last tenth candidate who is a human.

He knelt before Sam and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Please, let me go. I will tell you who sent me. I will give you all the details."

He asked for mercy again and again and Sam only replied with one sentence.

"You don't have to."

With that, he smashed the battle hammer on his head. The head exploded as a watermelon and brain matter spilled all over the place.

The corpse fell backward. Sam extended his hand and once again used the soul necromancy and called the Specter out.

The Specter absorbed the soul and shot a light towards Sam's forehead giving the required memories.

Sam went through them and saw an elf along with the remaining nine criminals altogether. The elf is an official from the city prison.

Sam waved his hand and the zoi termites came out along with the locusts to clean the battlefield and the larger insects even collected the bones and took them back to the divine dimension.

They don't know if someone was attracted by the commotion or it is a sheer coincidence but the city guards came ten minutes later and inspected the battle traces all the while questioning the group.

"Ten criminals escaped from the prison and some people reported that they came this way. Have you seen them?"

Philip took it up on himself to answer their questions as Raunak is still a bit nervous about the things that are happening all of a sudden.

He was ecstatic by the fact that a good portion of the tax target was cleared and on the same day, there was an attack on a person who is responsible for the tax clearance.

The worst part is they don't even know who they pissed off.

"We didn't see any of them," Philip answered the city guards.

"Then what are the signs of the battle."

"We are just sparring."

"Sparring?"

"Yes. We are a bit tense about the attack on our house, so we are here to relieve some of the tension by sparring. Why? Is it illegal too?"

The city guards were dumbfounded.

Their presence here is not a coincidence at all. They were told to go to this place and identify the bodies of either these four guys or the dead bodies of the escaped criminals and arrest these four guys.

But here the situation is entirely different. There is not a single sign of a corpse nearby. There is some blood, but they are insisting that came from the sparring.

They are at a loss for words.

They couldn't do anything and just go back to the city administration office.

Sam went to a lake nearby and jumped to clean himself up while calming himself down. Even though he was angry, he wouldn't have lost his cool so much if not for the fact that the other party declared war without even showing up in front of his face.

The enemy is showing his complacence and superiority through their actions and he wanted to make a chink on that mask.

After the swim and a good rinse off of his body, he met with Raunak and said.

"You have to be safe no matter what. We still don't know who is behind this. If you are not sure about your safety in the city, you can stay here. I am sure you will be safer here."

As he spoke, he went back to camp and started placing the formation discs in various places to make a defensive formation.

The meteorite strike is a real pain in the ass.

Soon the night fell and a small shadow entered the city without anyone noticing.

It went to the area where all the higher grade officials usually reside and entered a large house.

There is a middle-aged-looking Male-Elf is having sex with three human ladies at the same time in a bedroom.

He is so lost in passion that he didn't notice the small shadow coming in and going out of the room.

The rest of the house was empty. Nobody else was here and there are very few surveillance formations that could be easily overcome in the shadow mode.

As for the defensive formations they have to be activated after detecting any foreign presence or attacks.

Sam came out of the divine dimension. He is wearing his cloaked outfit with his face covered. He masked his presence as much as possible as he held a glass bottle in his hands and poured the transparent liquid everywhere.

He didn't make much sound and was as silent as he can. But he didn't deliberately hide his presence either. He just walked around and threw the biofuel all around. He must say that this thing is more reliable than methane gas, which would give itself away easily.

He could still hear the sounds from upstairs that is extremely irritating. That guy is so involved that he didn't even bother to scan the surroundings.

This is something Sam has noticed before. The elves are feeling too safe. They are not at all cautious. It might be because of their laws and the fact that they are extremely dominant within the Charbhum realm without any rivals, but this level of fearlessness is actually new to Sam.

And along with that, he didn't see any form of high-level criminal activity. This place is weirdly peaceful.

After fifteen minutes, Sam once again went upstairs, but this time he didn't opt to the shadow mice or even his shadow form. He walked upstairs without any stealth.

This time, the guy was alerted. He stopped his activity and became cautious when Sam is at the door.

He opened it and walked in without any reservations. The three ladies screamed and tried to hide their bodies.

"The three of you better leave now. You don't want to lose your life here."

The three of them didn't know what to do and tried to wear their clothes first.

"Who are you?" The official is calmer than Sam expected. He looked at Sam without any nefarious intent radiating on his face or in his eyes. He is creepily calm.

"Robin Hood."

And these two words managed to crack that emotionless face.

"You seemed to have heard of my name." Seeing that guy is silent, Sam just continued.

"You came to the wrong place. Attacking an official is an offense punishable by death and even if I kill you, I wouldn't be charged with murder."

"Well, threatening as soon you opened your mouth. What a brave thing to do? Now let us not make any wild assumptions that you can kill me before we do anything send those three women out. I don't kill the people that didn't offend me."

"They must be kept here. They can act as my witnesses."

"Your choice." With that, Sam made his move.
