Chapter 603: Capturing the Castle
Sam kept on shooting at the stone houses. The range of the energy cell bullets might be over and no one was left within except for the castle, and the people might have been hiding behind the thick stone walls, but that doesn't mean much to him.
He started shooting the walls with the penetration bullets.
After three continuous shots at a single spot, the fourth bullet entered the hole and shot someone in the heart.
He didn't stop. With the energy vision, he can shoot the four shots instantly particularly, when his sniper doesn't even have any reloading time required.
As he was harvesting lives as if they are ripe mangoes in the grove, the captain on the squad and some leaders inside the castle are having a hard time. They are waiting for the news from the thirty members that went to the cliff from the blindspot.
And the news they waited for came back. Ten people came running after they had enough of the grenades and reported about the rocks that sent them back.
This made the captain frown and when he started thinking about the situation and asked.
"The projectiles coming at us, at first they exploded and easily destroyed anything including the walls and the people, but now they are not using such attacks. Why do you guys think?"
"Maybe they are out of them?" One of his subordinates replied. The rest also agreed.
"Are you sure about that? If he is not out of them, we would be in trouble."
"But we couldn't think of any other reason. Except for if he is baiting us."
After discussing any possible scenarios, the teams started moving, they took advantage of the blind spot, they started moving out and took out the owls from their beast pouch. By this time, there are almost fifty deaths and only seventy people left.
Half of them led by the vice-captain of the squad are going to move towards the rear of the cliff on the owls and the remaining members will follow the captain from the front.
It is almost dusk and the sun is setting which means, the owls that have both dark elements and the wind element will have the time of their lives.
They also came out of the blind spot and moved outward in a different direction to test the range of Sam's attacks.
Sam didn't shoot them at all; even if one of them is within the range, he didn't do so.
Instead, he yelled for Chatur.
"Leave the cliff area and escape to another hiding location. Be discreet and be fast. But stay within the range of a few hundred meters from the Palace and keep this communication token on you. When I call you, come to the Palace discreetly and move as fast as you can."
After Chatur ran away, Sam looked at the captain and his followers coming towards the cliff slowly. He could also guess the remaining people coming from the rear. He only has a shot amount of time left for him to go on a final killing spree with the sniper. b
Because, once the captain or other elites got a hold of the speed and the precision of the sniper and since they already know the direction, they can dodge. Even if it is at a cost of their lives, he would lose the sniper's advantage. Along with that, there is no much range he can cover in peripheral directions because they are coming from a different direction instead of the castle direction because the crack is small.
So, he waited until they arrived a little nearer and started shooting continuously.
He didn't shoot the beasts, he only shot the riders on them and he shot as fast as he can. He got seven kills and for the eighth one, the captain got the hang of it and blocked it with a wind blade.
Sam shot two more times, one for a beast and another for a man, and one of them is dodged and another one was blocked.
They are still away from the energy cell bullet range, if he waits for them, the people from the rear will catch up.
Sam looked around. The troops from the front are waiting for the troops for the rear to make the first move.
He took out things and started sticking them onto the walls of the crack he was standing in.
These are the same bombs he used in the process of wrecking the Naval fleet of the Adrian Empire.
He slowly climbed down as he stuck the bombs to both the walls.
When he saw the rear troops in his sight. He placed a Naga shadow in that place and climbed down.
From both sides, the troops are moving slowly and are afraid that Sam would attack suddenly. But when they saw no movement after so much time, they felt like something is wrong and started throwing long-range attacks towards the cliff.
When they saw no reaction, they finally relaxed a bit and moved faster towards the cliff and when they saw a shadow from afar, they frowned, both troops sent five people from each side to check and when they are in range, the shadow did the task that it was supposed to do.
It pressed a button on one of the grenades and…
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
A series of explosions occurred in a single area and the ten men along with the ten owls are all dead.
Taking this explosion as a distraction, Sam came out of the cliff entrance and moved along the shadows as he used the shadow transfer technique.
When the smoke and dust cleared, there is a large hole in the cliff with the stones thrown all the way around.
The two groups moved towards it and saw the large that also expanded all the way downwards. One of them jumped off from his owls and climbed down as they investigated.
Meanwhile, Sam used this chance to escape. But he didn't go away, instead, he went to the castle that was abandoned at the moment.
There are few people around inside the castle and Sam finished them off quickly.
He took out the communication device and tried to get in contact with Chatur. He hid inside the Palace as he waited for Chatur to come and before he wanted to contact for the second time, Chatur was already in front of him.
"Collect every beast pouch off of their bodies. Since they are dead, the beasts would have suffered a blow, but after they recover, they will try their best to recover. Recover all of them, but don't get noticed by the troops.
They might come at any moment, so I will be taking a look around the castle and find a suitable spot for taking them down.
At the same time, Sam let Yanwu and Sky out. They are inside the hall of the Castle and since this world has no miasma he is not alone anymore.
He can use his own beasts to gain an advantage.
He went to the best sniping spot and waited for the troops to return as Chatur collected the beast pouches and came to him within half-an-hour.
He threw them all inside the divine dimension to deal with them later.
The owls are from Yaksha's home planet called Fysi. They are not like the dumb fire owls he met in the Volcanic region. They are actually quite smart in terms of intelligence and they are of moderate size and have great attack power. Particularly attacking the ground when flying.
As Sam waited, the troops are coming back to the Palace. Half of them are moving towards the Castle, while the other half split up and moved in different directions.
Chatur is inside the castle checking the conference rooms and such to gather the information he needed as there are many scrolls left there in the middle due to the sudden attack.
As the troops neared the castle, Yanwu and Sky roared with all their might as they released their aura.
The surroundings are all covered by their aura and the owls that are bringing the troops back are all frightened and started moving down.
They don't dare to fly when two predators are roaring in such a commanding fashion. Their instinct is not to let them stay in the air.
The riders are trying their best to control the owls, the speed they are descending will make them crash into the ground. Sam and his two beast companions now went on to take advantage of this opportunity.
Sam unleashed another killing spree as he started shooting at every Yaksha he could get his scope on while Yanwu and Sky exited the castle and took flight as they attacked their own.
The whole situation turned into mayhem all of a sudden.
Only half of the Yaksha managed to come back to their senses and jumped off to reduce the damage, but they couldn't get away that easily though.
Sam shot everyone as fast as he could. Soon, only three people remained there and those three are able to dodge the bullets.
But Sam didn't worry though, because the owls that landed on the ground and now lost their contracts all turned their heads towards these three in a hostile fashion. Because the two predatory beasts are ordering them to do so.
Sam didn't even bother to shoot anymore, because his two companions and their new lackeys all tore those three apart.
He called them back and caught the beasts in the divine dimension, before calling for Chatur and five new Yaksha shadows and let them clean up the battle-field.
