Chapter 721: Another Plot (1/2)
The fight went on and as it progressed. Sam is disabling one person after another and soon his three friends didn't have anything to do.
Before they could do anything, Sam is fighting above and beyond as he dealt with them.
Even when the people took advantage of their numbers and escaped from his attack and ran to the fields, his shadows got their hands on them first before Sam's friends could do anything.
Soon, the town guards came and surrounded Sam stopping him in his place as he kept on thrashing the twenty guys on the ground.
He didn't make a move on them. Since the cane fields are doing fine, he calmed down. He looked at his friends but didn't say anything. But his one look made them feel a bit provoked.
They really did wanted to help at first, they really do have some people in their hands, but as the fight progressed, Sam just took over as he just beat the crap out of everyone.
They could only clench their fists as they looked back at Sam and grit their teeth in anger.
The town guards are followed by the farmers and soon some officials also came forward.
The guard commander who came fastest almost lost it as he pointed at Sam and yelled.
”What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to kill them?”
Sam didn't speak and looked around at the unconscious and painfully whining twenty or so people on the ground and looked at the commander with a questioning gaze.
The commander himself felt embarrassed when he looked at Sam's face. The rest of the spectators also understood what Sam's expression went.
If he wanted to kill them, they would have been dead already and here they are all alive, but just not kicking.
Seeing the commander who is looking for the right words to speak so that he wouldn't embarrass himself more, Sam continued.
”Twenty people are fighting and they battled from the market street to the farmer street and from here they are going towards the cane field. You are nowhere to be seen all this while and now here you are asking if I wanted to kill them.
I am saving the cane fields so that they wouldn't be destroyed by some dumb guards and even dumber people that are fighting with them.
If you want to punish me for that, I would happily oblige, but you better answer me why you are late before you do that.”
”Why would I need to answer you? I am not answerable to you about anything.”
”Of course, you are not answerable to me, but more than half of the sugarcane farmers are voting civilians and they contribute most amount of tax to this town, what about them? Are you not answerable to them at least?”
At these words, the farmers all looked at Sam in admiration. They didn't believe Sam when he said that he only made a move because they are about to destroy the fields, but they are didn't completely dismiss the possibility.
After all, Sam is a new guy in town and even if his food is great, the acceptance was only for the food, not the person who made it.
But now Sam really did fight for them. At least, according to them, there is no motivation for Sam to save the cane fields. Maybe he might have taken the opportunity to be accepted by the town folk and if it is true, then it is working.
The farmers started speaking up in support of his statement.
”Yes, guard commander, there is not a single guard who came to stop these people fighting and you are accusing someone who stopped this madness.”
”I have been following this ground from the market street. You better have a proper explanation.”
”Yes, if there is not even minimum safety for our fields and us, then what are we paying all these taxes for.”
”There is no use in talking with the commander. It is best for us to go to the town head's mansion. We just went along with the flow and just let it be, when the elves wronged, but they are now going after our farms and fields, this is not a good thing. We need to question the town head.”
