Sam didn't discuss much with Raunak. Even though Raunak has an answer for this, he felt like he should think and understand what is going on properly before he answered.

Anyway, it seemed like Sam doesn't need an answer right away so he can discuss this with him later.

Sam left the office and went back to meet his friends.

Tonight he will be having another meeting with the targets who are nearing him.

He doesn't know why they didn't make a move and why they are stalling, but the shadow mice that are giving the updates told him that they are moving slowly through the forests without taking the main route and on the way they through the forests, they are capturing the beasts with force.

This made Sam curious and there are many reasons for it. First one is that the one week stalling time they said they would have by halting the military unit from taking over the biscuit factory is over and the military unit is still nowhere to be seen.

The second reason is the way this team is moving. It is as if they have all the time in the world. This made him want to know what exactly happened with the military unit that they halted for this much time even with the headsup Sam gave them.

The final reason is also related to the route they are taking. No matter how long the distance between the city and their hiding location is, it only takes a few hours through the main route and even though the route they are taking is a roundabout one and that is to the point that it is too long, it would only take around one and half a day.

But it is taking too long for that. They didn't move right after Sam marked one of those guys, they halted for three days and made their move, but it is still too long, it is already sixth day since their day of travel and they are only visiting now.

Currently, except for a few builders in the nearby factory, everyone else is gone.

So, now that they are coming here, there is no reason for Sam to not prepare a welcome present for them.

He started messing with the trees to make some traps with the Biofuel and the Grenades. This time, the beasts are out and his friends even took out the hover boards.

From what the shadow mice said, they captured a lot of beasts and most of the time it is by force. He doesn't know what they are going to do with them, but there is a reason for him to believe that they are going to use them to create a stampede.

So, it is better for him to prepare.

While he let his friends lay down the special traps, he went to the cement factory and said.

"You guys go back to the city tonight, there are some unwanted visitors and I am sure you don't want to get caught up in a mess that might take your lives."

He didn't explain anything else and left and there is no surprise on what the builders did, they just left the place and went to the city.

Sam asked Raunak about the same thing, but didn't leave, he decided to stay there and help.

"Just don't get in the way."

That is only what Sam has to say to him.

And at midnight, there is finally sight of the visitors and they are not alone.

Sam's thoughts are accurate, they are indeed creating a stampede. But the beasts are unbelievably obedient and they are extremely aggressive at the same time which is not a regular thing to see.

Sam doesn't know what method they used to make them so tame yet aggressive at the same time, but he knew that is not something normal.

As he waited with his friends near the camp, the beasts started running. There are at least fifty beasts all of them being Pre-transcendent stage beasts. The ground started quaking around them and even the guards stationed at the city gate can feel that.

Sam knew that they wouldn't help so he didn't bother thinking about them at all.

But he kept on looking at the beasts that are coming towards them keenly, they are so aggressive to the point that they are crazy, they hit so many trees on their way and made them collapse, but the beasts are moving without a single feel.

And they are coming from all sides. Soon they entered the perimeter they set and all of a sudden the ground collapsed creating a large circular ring hole around the camp.

That is what happens in a stampede, particularly when the beasts are crazy, they will only have the targets in their vision and mind and wouldn't take note of the minor details.

As soon as this new crevice appeared, many beasts fell into the trap and some beasts are big enough to get stuffed in the crack. But that was good enough to set off the traps they set.

The first thing that reacted were naturally the grenades and then the fuel bottles that cracked from the explosion and made the beasts burn continuously creating a pit of fire for the beasts.

The sudden change made the beasts halt behind for a moment and this is enough for the team. They set off the remaining traps which are mostly about throwing the biofuel on the bodies of the beasts. There is not much they needed to do after all and the more the fuel stayed on their bodies, the more it would be absorbed into the body and the more it would burn.

And soon it became reality, the beasts only halted for a few seconds due to the sudden emergence of the flames and now that they got over that surprise they jumped over the flames, but a small tongue of flames are enough to make them set on fire.

The beasts that landed on the other side of the ring started roaring in agony, the beasts that fell into the crevice are not exactly yelling or screaming as they don't even have enough space, but the rest can clearly show the suffering.

But that didn't stop there.

Sam and his friends made their move as they killed the beasts one after another even though they will eventually die. But they didn't let that happen, they finished them before they could die from the flame and when most of the body hasn't been burned.

While the killing being done, Sam is doing something else. He started performing necromancy. He made one burning corpse of a beast an undead and made it run towards the visitors before cutting off his contract with the undead. Now that the only living target nearest to it would be one of the visitors, it directly went for them.

The same thing happened around thirty of so beasts that are not stuck in the crevice.

Sam took out his bow and some special arrows which he made for this occasion. Instead of the arrow head made of metal, there is a hollow glass arrow head filled with liquid.

The glass is also extremely thin to the point that some heat and pressure would clearly distort and destroy it.

The visitors are clearly shocked by the sudden situation change, but they didn't panic too much. They are a team specialized in direct combat.

The Black cloaked team is more keen on taking down opponents with ambushes and team work and team attacks, the red cloaked team is mostly focused on direct combat with support from each other rather than the combined attacks like the meteor strikes.

They didn't care about the thirty beasts that are coming towards them, they are sure that they can easily handle them. But what they didn't know is that the beasts are not the direct threat they have to deal with. Sam hovered on the harbinger as he held his bow and aimed at them. As soon as the first burning undead reached the first visitor who is so confident about dealing with it, An arrow shot through the air and hit him on the shoulder followed by a second arrow with only a delay for a second.

The second arrow passed through the flames on the undead and hit him near the wound causing him to catch a flame around his already hurting wound.

The same thing kept on repeating as Sam shot the arrows at a speed that made it impossible for one to see his hand stationary for a single second.

As the battle field turned into an orderly chaos created by Sam, the trio made their move, they went on their hoverboards to deal with the chaotic visitors.

The situation turned one sided but not in the way the visitors wanted it to be.

It is a one sided slaughter. But the trio left one person alive.

The one person who Sam marked as his.

He is currently kneeling on the ground and felt extremely weak.

Sam zoomed on the harbinger and arrived in front of him.

When that guy looked at Sam, all he saw is a face hidden because of the raging flames that are burning the forest overshadowing it, but he could faintly make out the evil smile on those lips, and then came the voice that sent shivers through his spine.

"Didn't I tell you, you don't have a long life in front of you? And here you are waiting for your imminent demise."

The visitor's eyes visibly shook as he shivered. This is the first time he felt despair.
