Bullets almost did not hit, and there were only a couple of people with firearms.

There may have been more firearms, but there were obviously no ammo, if there was some left, it was rather in the form of stashes. Sam suspected such a situation would be common.

He quickly got to them and started to cut them in pieces one by one, their heads and limbs flying apart.

The couple had grown blades from their hands, someone used melee weapons. Some pitiful skills were used, but they were of no use. The difference between them was just too significant.

Blood splattered all around, some tried to escape, but Sam and the cat caught up with everyone and killed them.

Most of other people just scattered around and hid themselves.

Having killed about 20-odd people, Sam entered the temple, there he was met by 5 more people and the so-called priest. The priest began to say something, but Sam had already begun to cut everyone into pieces, including the priest.

The priest also used some skill, but Sam did not know which one, he carefully chopped off the priest's head, as he wanted to leave his armor intact under his cassock, in case something useful.

After examining the corpses, he did not even notice the spatial vaults on the other so-called commanders. Only the priest had three at once. The cat complained that he was not allowed to finish off anyone, Sam obviously spoiled the cat.

Going outside, he saw the remaining so-called commanders and the rabble under their command, a total of 40 people, but only the commanders were armed, and even then not all of them. The rest were looking more like some aboriginals with self made melee weapons or something.

Sam moved on the people with firearms and began another massacre.

Seeing body parts and rivers of blood everywhere, many of the fighters lost their will to fight and began to scream, beg for help and flee. Sam killed everyone he could reach to, but decided not to run after those who escaped.

Sam gave the command to gather everyone in the camp, and he was also told that there is a prison which was guarded by one of the deceased commanders. Sam said to get everyone out of there and build them separately.

He himself went to the temple again as he did not check it completely. He searched all the premises, but saw nothing useful for himself, there were women and children of different nationalities, some were chained, some were not.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

There was something like a torture chamber with various instruments for torture. There was a girl tied to the table. She had no ears and eyes, there were other injuries, but she remained alive.

That was really interesting. You can actually cut off someone's eyes without killing a victim. Sam was somewhat interested in effective tortures. But unfortunately that priest already passed away. Anyway he was planning to do some practice with tortures himself some other time.

Sam chopped off her head and went on.

There were also weapons piled up in a heap, apparently without ammunition. And of course not a weak supply of food. Sam ordered to bring everything to the square.

Those who escaped were soon brought to him, at least those who survived, and the remaining survivors were also gathered, most of them looked terrible, people were clearly starving.

Of course, Sam did not give a damn about the camp or the people, he was just looking for something useful for himself.

- All people of level 10 or higher with non-combat skills, or improvement abilities, and so on, come to me, you will receive the meat of animals of the 2nd type as a reward.

- I do not advise hiding, I will find out anyway and it will be worse.

As a result, only 3 people got out, 3 more were from those who were in prison.

- Well, the one who points out those who did not come out will receive five kilograms of the 2nd type meat, keep in mind that this meat will increase several of your characteristics and restore health, even 200 grams of such meat will be enough for you to eat to the dump.

To be honest, Sam did not know if this was true, but he assumed that this meat is much more nutritious. Of course, 200 grams was not enough for Sam himself to put it mildly, but judging by the appearance of these people, they could have had enough. People began to look at each other. And then the sentry, whom he had seen earlier, approached him.

- Sir, there is a 5th level skill that can determine the level of any person, of course there are no details, but it will not be difficult to check whether he has a combat class ...

Sam cursed his stupidity and covered his face with his hand, indeed, he knew about such a skill, but still began to flog nonsense.

- Emm, okay six craftsmen come to me, and you tell someone with that skill to check all the rest of people. Tell that someone to lead them all here, if there are artisans among them, then this person will receive reward.

- Well, tell me what your level 10 skills are.

Two guys had skill with spatial storage available both from prison. The third had the fortification skill, unlike the 5th level skill, this skill could even strengthen something bigger like full armor and on permanent basis, but it is obvious that the skill was completely different from the paladin skill.

Firstly, the reinforcement was not so strong, and secondly, the more thing to strengthen, the more cores are needed. To strengthen the armor and sword of the priest, he spent 50 and 10 cores, respectively.

The rest had the skills to enhance weapons, healing, and prayer. The latter added 1 parameter to all stats for 1 hour.

Two more were brought to him, one with telekinesis, thanks to which he could control the sword from a distance, and the other had a fiery whip, not a particularly strong skill, but he could cut the whip to the size of a pencil, and this pencil sawed as it should.

In general, there was nothing interesting except for the armor reinforcement skill and Sam was disappointed in this city.
