Chapter 784: Premature End (1/2)
Currently, the audience didn't have any reaction except gulping down and looking at the situation nervously.
The trio suddenly turned wild. They are not fighting as they did for the past four days. In the past four days, even though they are on constant chase they still fought without too much trickery and they didn't fight dirty.
Now, they are just ravaging this One-star military unit with every possible trick. Some of their tricks can even be considered less honorable and dirty, but they didn't care anymore.
Men fight with and for honor if it is a fair fight, to begin with. One it is unfair, it can be unfair on any level and it can be unfair from both sides.
There is no reason for them to risk their lives just for some intangible honor that could get them killed. Yes, dying with honor makes their names remain in history, but that will still be within the history, living can make them see the future.
They could have thought of honor if they are really in a fair competition, but since it is already unfair with their escape tokens and the bounty they might as well change their ways, and particularly Sam gave them an agenda.
Currently, within the audience, Sam is still watching the situation leisurely, while the audience are sweating because of the brutality and the change in atmosphere in the battle. The people from the faction members are all looking at it with intrigue and tension at the same time and the professor who is looking through the fight is having chaotic thoughts.
He knew what is happening as he knew the one-star military unit personally. What the trio is doing is not just playing dirty or using trickery, they are going to create a large psychological shadow that wouldn't leave them for the rest of their lives.
One star military unit is used to beating the crap out of other people. They are good at setting ambushes, facing ambushes, direct clashes, chases, and many other things, but fighting dirty and slowly wearing them down it is new to them. They are the ones who tore others down.
And the way the trio dealt with them is collapsing their belief in their abilities. The trio is leading them on, making them chase like madmen, stealing one of them like they are some children while throwing the tricks and cheap shots and mauling and torturing the abducted person in mere seconds and minutes before throwing them back.
The confidence and the solid wall they built to themselves, it now being chipped away bit by bit. Slowly creating chink after chink and slowly making holes all over that wall.
If this continued, by the end of this, the core force of the One-star military unit will be crippled.
This will break their mental states.
Now the professor understood what Sam meant by the bet. He is so sure of what his friends can do and he has to way to make them do it.
It was them who became too happy with so much belief in their own strength of numbers and their elites. At the end of the day, all they thought is that they are only three humans.
He could only think about trying to mitigate the situation and his first thought is to get through the shadow. But he remembered the slip Sam sent to him and stayed his hand. He cannot interfere in the fight directly.
While he is thinking the current situation in the forest is getting worse. The one-star military unit is being constantly ripped apart as one after other soldiers are being caught, tortured, and thrown back at them.
They are too emotionally invested and couldn't get their heads straight.
And the trio are doing this slowly while taking their time without a care for the world.
In the next two hours, they only took ten people and there is only an hour till noon.
The professor is already having second thoughts.
Some of the soldiers are already thinking about escaping and giving up. But they are still hesitating.
And the judges couldn't interfere because the trio is not killing anyone.
By noon, another four people suffered the same fate and finally, the professor couldn't take it. He stood up from his seat and started walking towards Sam's seat.
Sam looked at Raunak and said.
”Get away from here for a while. It is better if you are not involved in this conversation.”
Raunak nodded and left the place. The Professor took that empty seat and spoke.
”Your friends are really good.”
”Of course, they are my friends.”
”I wonder how good you are. There was never a talk about your battle prowess. Are you as good as them?”
”Maybe I am, maybe I am not. I am pretty sure you are here to discuss more important issues.”
”Of course, I lost the bet. Tell them to leave them alone.”
