Chapter 124 - Labona Farm

Labona Farm

Albert covered them. They walked away from the dead beast.

The natives dispersed soon after. Junan thought to search the area and see what they could expect from the mayor. According to book of detection the mayor was loyal towards the king so he would become bone in their way.

Junan waved his sword and gestured team members to spread. "We will use this method to get rid if there is another beast wreaking havoc." They spread on his gesture to search.

Now they were leaving this area and also searching another beast. They were also expecting confrontation with the mayor.

The natives saw them leaving but little later mayor with his soldiers appeared. He was fuming and looking ugly. The half face was hidden with the mayors' cap.

This cap was the sign of his position.

He was waiting at the gate and received the news that the runners appeared at the different part of Labona Farm. It was enough to boil his blood. His fascinations of grandeur got coated with dust.

Mayor wanted to appease the king. Mayor saw the dead beast. He also witnessed how the remaining natives were acting indifferent. In fact they hide somewhere immediately so that mayor should not enquire them about the arena runners.

Mayor ordered his men to spread and search the runners. Junan and team members were moving freely in the Labona Farm. Everywhere they witnessed similar scenario.

The fountain in the square dried out. The roads destroyed and natives in worst condition. "I think the mayor is scared of us. There is no harm if we kill the mayor? Would it count going over the board other than the task?" Orin inquired.

They could neglect the previous Duke because he was secretive in his actions and only killed those he suspected. Here it was different. Every native was suffering. Team head thought for a while. "If we caught him in our way then there is no harm in killing him." Such limitations rarely occurred in live quests.

They found another beast on their way. Exits and the entrances of the Labona farm were in the east side. They appeared at the east side because the mayor was standing at the gate which was at the North. This was the single gate that gave path in between two big areas of Itaten Farm and Labona Farm.

The power of Ashmorn brought them away from the mayor to let them decide about the new location. There were three Farms in the Mala City apart from the central city. The central city secured three palaces other than the nearing gardens.

Each garden was differently decorated according to the taste of visitors. Earlier rich ministers and their families used to walk in these gardens but now it was silent everywhere. Two palaces were reserved for the two guest kings.

They were here for the last rituals at the fortnight. There were only three days left in the fortnight.

The king was worry free after some strong orders however the appearance of the Arena Runners slowly clamped their footing. They were nearing toward the central city.

It was matter of threat for the king. He was told that the people were betraying the empire and helping runners.

Still he was bent on to complete the rituals and suppress rebellion. There was strong reason behind his increased confidence. King was proud getting the backing of the old master.

But for common people they less likely give any face to the old master in front of the esteemed Ashmorn. Natives were ready to sacrifice everything to save the Ashmorn.

This was advantageous situation for team members. They were also here to save the girl.

Team members ran around and spotted second beast. They knew that the beast was responsible for the present destruction of the Labona farm. "How many beasts is let loose hand in the Labona farm exactly?" Albert walked ahead. Sashi and Jake also followed.

They knew their formation. The effortless collaboration was better in this situation.

Trio left to take care the beast while Junan ordered Ahram to take a look in the surrounding. He was certain that the mayor was searching them.

"We might need a perfect plan to kill the mayor. He must be madly looking for us." Team head was concerned for the reason that the mayor might bring big hurdle to stop them from entering in the second tower.

There were no more built up houses or the proper vicinity were they could hide and only search the tower.

They were standing in the open ground under the vast sky.

Team members did not look like vulnerable however they could not neglect sudden surprises.

The appearance of stronger opponent was expected since they were offending the king.

Ahram this time took bigger sprints and surveyed huge area. He finally spotted mayor and his men. They were heading in the same direction.

Ahram hurried to reach the team head and inform. Jake fired the bullet and finished off the beast. The chaos subsided for some time.

Jake received notification. [Kill the mayor and steal the keys of the tower]

He was surprised to see sudden quest.

[Precaution: Do not battle with mayor. He is not human.]

[Warning: Avoid his spell attack. It is not necessary to fight long battle instead kill without confronting. His men can do nothing without him.]

Jake read the quest portion.

It was simple. Labona farm was destroyed. They could not do anything for the natives. The most they could do to kill the last beast and reach the tower.

Albert brought them back. They saw Ahram rushing toward them with concern on his face.

Team head was certain that Ahram spotted mayor.

"The mayor is on the way here. He has many soldiers with him." Jake heard Ahram and started thinking how he could kill the mayor without starting battle with him.

Jake did not want to waste time in explaining things to others.. He was thinking middle way in order to get rid him.
