Chapter 237: Chapter 202, Do You Dare to Kill Your Own Teammate_2
Whether it was the Iron Guard Knights or the Hammer Party.
Their level was not enough to resist the poison fog.
Even if they had some resistance to the poison fog, they couldn’t stay in it for a long time. Their bodies would gradually be eroded by the poison fog, eventually losing their combat power, and even dying directly.
Choosing to fight in the poison fog was not a wise decision.
But from Wu Heng’s perspective, he was willing to see such an outcome, after all, he was the one who unleashed the poison.
In the distant lane.
The remaining team members all showed varying degrees of surprise.
They had never seen any profession that could single-handedly change a battle involving thousands of people.
Moreover, this was a newly-appointed team leader who was about their own age.
The power he demonstrated was simply terrifying.
“Captain, you’re too fierce. What does it take to become a Necromancer? I want to become one too,” Duke scratched his head and said.
He followed Wu Heng the longest and knew more about the situation.
Though he knew his captain was powerful, he never imagined he’d be this strong.
It was simply terrifying.
Anyone who didn’t kill him immediately on the battlefield.
Would find their forces increasing.
The rest of them remained silent, their expressions turning from initial surprise to disbelief and even fear.
After a while, the fighting gradually ended and the lingering fog slowly dissipated in the night breeze.
Laid bare was a ground full of corpses.
At the city gate position, the tall Beastman had fallen, the Blazing Blade Longsword cut down, severing the Beastman’s head.
Wu Heng led the team out of the alley, saying, “Let’s check on the Iron Guard Knights, make sure they didn’t all die here, we’d have a hard time explaining if they did.”
“Alright!” Several people nodded, heading towards the position where the Iron Guard Knights had previously defended.
Wu Heng went straight to the city gate area.
Kicked the Beastman’s head which had rolled away back, bending down to rummage around the body.
A Potion, a smoke bomb, and a small bag with about ten silver coins.
As a core member of the Hammer Party, he clearly wouldn’t have this little wealth.
He must have left everything out before the battle.
He placed the head at the wound on the neck and directly released the Bone Manipulation Skill.
The reason he didn’t transform this corpse into a carrion like the others was because Wu Heng had his own considerations.
He planned to keep this corpse by his side as a guard.
After all, he did show a valiant side in battle.
And he was a core member of the Hammer Party, his level couldn’t be too low as a result.
Necromancy covered the corpse, flesh fell off, and a Beast Warrior Skeleton over three meters tall stood up from the flesh.
[Skeleton Beast Warrior (Level 14)]
A level 14 Skeleton Beast Warrior, enough to not disappoint him.
“From now on, you will continue to be called Blood Axe. Pick up your weapon,” Wu Heng ordered.
The Skeleton Beast Warrior bent down to pick up a giant battle axe and carried it over his shoulder.
Bawudong, Blazing Blade, and now Blood Axe, their levels were not much different, and the gap could be bridged by battle skills.
But, just judging by appearance, Blood Axe, approaching over 3.5 meters in height, was far more intimidating.
At this time, footsteps approached.
Duke and Mata led the commander of the Iron Guard Knights over.
This was a middle-aged man with short hair and a beard. They had met during a patrol before, but they never interacted much.
His steps were shaky, his face pale, and his armor bore many marks.
It appeared he had been involved in an intense battle too.
“Captain Wu Heng, thank you for your support,” the commander said directly as he approached.
Even though the method Wu Heng used had affected the Knight Squad.
But looking at the current situation, it did solve the problem, and the city gate had already been closed again.
Even if he had complaints in his heart, he dared not say it at this time.
There was nowhere to go for justice even if he was killed.
Being polite would be to his advantage.
Wu Heng looked him up and down, and asked directly, “Are you alright?”
“I’m alright, I’ve taken a detoxifying potion, and others have begun to rescue the injured,” the commander said.
Wu Heng nodded, and continued, “What are you planning to do next?”
“According to the orders of the city hall, once an uncontrollable situation appears in the Outer City Area, we should immediately abandon the city wall area and retreat to the Inner City Area. Looking at the closed city gate again, he still said, “I plan to take the existing guards back to the Inner City Area, where we can also treat the injured.”
Hearing this decision, Mata and Duke glanced anxiously at each other.
They understood the meaning of the commander’s words. He planned to abandon the Outer City Area and protect the bigwigs in the Inner City Area.
This meant the residents of the Outer City Area would be done for.
Given the ruthlessness of the Hammer Party, there wouldn’t be many residents of the Outer City Area who could survive.
Wu Heng said, “The city gate is closed, the core members responsible for attacking this wall have been killed by me. There’s no danger on your side, I hope you can continue to command and defend the city wall.”
“But Captain, this is inconsistent with the orders from City Hall,” the commander continued.
“The order from City Hall is for you to retreat when the city wall can’t be defended. Now that the city wall is safe and the city gate is closed, if you retreat directly, it is actually inconsistent with the order.”
Well…
The commander hesitated, looked up at him.
He was the most clear about the kind of order the Inner City Area had issued. Wu Heng’s words were obviously a bit far-fetched.
But he understood Wu Heng’s meaning.
Right now, he was still discussing with him, which meant they hadn’t clashed yet.
Asking him to defend here, he really didn’t have any other choice.
Indeed, as Wu Heng said, with the city gate closed and the Hammer Party suffering heavy casualties, the likelihood of a continued attack was low.
“Alright, I’ll take your advice, Captain, and continue to hold the city, but I need to arrange to send the injured members back to the Inner City Area for treatment.”
“Fine!”
“Then I’ll go arrange everything.”
The commander left.
Wu Heng looked at his squad members and said, “You guys, come with me.”
Having said that, he led the few inside a nearby building.
…
In the deserted interior of the building.
Two torches were lit.
Duke removed his helmet, wiped his sweat, and asked, “Captain, what’s wrong?”
The others looked up as well.
Wu Heng’s gaze fell on the rogue ‘Burke’ and said directly, “You were the one who led those gang members to the city wall, right?”
Everyone was taken aback, they all turned their heads to look at their rogue companion who was standing at the back.
In the orange torchlight, the rogue’s face was extremely ugly. “Captain, what do you mean by that? We were all together at that time, and I was the one who woke you up, how can you say that it was me who opened the city gate?”
He was still unwilling to admit it.
Bang~!
The gunshot echoed.
The bullet pierced the rogue’s skull, tendrils of fresh blood dripping down his forehead.
The rogue’s eyes were wide open, his body limp.
Everyone was startled, some even not able to react.
Swordsman ‘Galo Berley’ immediately drew his sword, his gaze fixed on Wu Heng, “How dare you kill?”
