Chapter 243: Chapter 205, Involved in it _2

Not cheap judging by these two attributes.

Moreover, these enhancement gears are universal for all melee classes. Everyone needs them.

After checking the available loot, Wu Heng used the Bone Manipulation Skill on the corpses.

Necromancy magic enveloped the bodies.

Flesh fell away, and a female Beastman skeleton rose to its feet.

[Skeleton Beast Warrior (Level 13)]

It was a level lower than Blood Axe, but Level 13 was still not considered low.

“From now on, you’ll continue as Tusk. Wear this and stay by my side for now,” Wu Heng handed the wrist guard to it.

Tusk donned the wrist guard, joined the protective team, and stood next to Blood Axe.

…

Wu Heng did not give the Pinned Gang a chance to continue looting.

He ordered the zombies to move all the corpses from a distance to him.

He then cast the Dead Bones Battlefield.

A grey-white circular light wave spread out.

One corpse after another came back to life, rolling over from the pile of bodies, and they picked up weapons nearby and stood aside.

There should be more fights to come.

Therefore, he chose to turn this batch of bodies into carrions.

It’s still better to use carrions against living beings. They can release various magical traps from the bodies, such as the poison-based Evil Explosion Skill.

The Book of Necromancy also records other spells like Corpse Explosion Technique and Pestilence Skill.

All of these can be hidden inside corpses.

Living beings were just too fragile.

And Necromancers happened to be experts in this field.

In the Zombie World, they would use skeleton attendants against zombies. After the battle, these attendants could stay with them for a longer time without the risk of catching any diseases.

Successively launched several Dead Bones Battlefield, transforming all the corpses.

Carrions filled the whole street densely.

A rough estimation suggested there were nearly ten thousand of them.

“Captain, Captain …”

From the perimeter of the team, came a voice.

Looking towards the sound, he saw Duke hopping about, waving his hands and shouting loudly.

Wu Heng made the carrions pave a path, and Duke, carrying his axe, walked straight in. It seemed that his family was fine.

“Why did you come back?” asked Wu Heng.

“There’s no problem at home, so I came directly, and also brought you breakfast.” He then pulled out a pancake from his bag and handed it over.

In the current environment, Wu Heng really had no appetite.

However, he accepted it appreciating Duke’s good intentions and asked, “What’s happening outside?”

“I heard an explosion from the Inner City Area when I came here. I guess the Hammer Party must have reached there,” Duke glanced in the direction of the Inner City Area as he continued speaking.

The Outer City Area was extensive.

Furthermore, the noise from their previous battles was so loud that he did not notice any explosion from the Inner City Area.

But when he turned to look now, he saw a rising plume of smoke.

It seemed the main force of the Hammer Party had not entered the city through these two gates.

At least, he had not seen the leader mentioned in the wanted notice.

“You’re here, Duke!” Wen Mansha walked over from behind, greeting him.

Wu Heng’s team had visited the Pinned Gang a few times, so they were familiar with each other.

Duke frowned, apparently resisting being called directly by a gang leader.

Just as he was about to speak…

But when he saw her clinging to Wu Heng’s arm and acting sweet,

the seriousness on his face vanished instantly. He grinned and said, “Sister Wen Mansha.”

“Hmm.”

Duke continued, “Captain, what should we do next?”

Wu Heng thought for a while and said, “Let’s go and check out the Inner City Area.”

He wasn’t particularly interested in who controlled the Inner City Area.

Previously, he was worried that if the Hammer Party occupied the city, he might be in danger.

But now, with the undead army at his command, he could safely leave this place.

He wasn’t claiming he could defeat the Hammer Party, but creating a cover for a few of them to retreat should not be a problem.

Moreover, there were houses all around. In case of danger, he could swiftly summon undead troops from the Zombie World, or just hide until it’s safe to come out.

This gave him more options.

And now he wished to go to the Inner City Area primarily because his two maids were there.

Previously, he had instructed them that if the fighting spread, they could seek refuge at the Snake Badge Commerce with Laisia.

After all, I have arranged everything in advance and given the other party some benefits. They wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

But all this is just an arrangement. Whether there will be any accidents, no one can say for sure.

The best way is to go there as soon as possible and keep the two maids by your side.

After Wu Heng made a decision.

Wen Mansha also began to adjust her gang members. The injured were escorted to a safe place. Those who weren’t severely injured and were willing to follow could go together.

Out of more than two thousand gang members, only over two hundred remained in the end.

More than half of them were Wen Mansha’s own confidants, several faces had been seen when they were blocking Anel.

Once everything was ready.

Wu Heng directly issued the order, “Forward!”

Swishhhh~!

The army moved again.

Towards the direction of the city quarter.

…

The comfortable life had turned the walls of the inner city area into less formidable height they once were.

It was more like a boundary separating the rich and the poor, a symbol of power.

In the deafening battle cry, the gate was smashed open.

The Hammer Party rushed in like a tide through the gate and dashed inward.

The defending army in the inner city area was dispirited when the city gate was breached.

If it wasn’t for their whole families trapped in the city, the army might have long disintegrated and fled in all directions.

The lords in the inner city were constantly mobilizing and recruiting.

Promising power and money, urging soldiers to continue fighting the Hammer Party.

But all this seemed to have little effect.

Most of the troops had been deployed in the outer city area, either they were dead or could not come in.

Moreover, there were no gang members in the inner city area in the past and there was no available manpower to use.

It was only a matter of time before they were all killed by the Hammer Party.

City Lord’s Hall.

City Lord Ereno, was wearing a silver armor, standing at the table.

On both sides, were city officials and numerous leaders.

Everyone was standing in a circle, focusing on the map in the center.

Large drops of sweat were constantly emerging and falling from the forehead, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

The City Lord wiped his sweat and said directly: “Just hold on for two days, reinforcements will arrive, and an inside-out attack will be enough to wipe out the Hammer Party and remove the hidden danger at once.”

Despite the words that were spoken.

But it did not change the atmosphere.

None in the room were new to this. They had used similar rhetoric to appease their subordinates before, and thus these empty words did not boost their morale.

“According to the ranger’s intelligence, the Hammer Party here is weak. It is better to abandon the city, gather the troops to rush out first, and take back the city later when the situation is better.” A commander said directly.

It is a taboo for soldiers to fear fighting.

But the current situation doesn’t leave them much choice.

To stay is to wait for death, only by surviving there is hope.

The notorious reputation of the Hammer Party has been piled up by countless severed heads.

They have deep-rooted enmity with the Lundham City, if they were captured, they would undoubtedly face death.

The city lord shook his head and said directly: “The Hammer Party is full of tricks, how can they leave such an obvious flaw. Abandoning the city and rushing out from here will only lead to death.”

The officials and generals around, said in unison: “City Lord, just give it a try.”

“Better than staying here and losing our lives.”

While everyone was heatedly arguing.

Suddenly someone burst into the room and said loudly, “City Lord, a large unknown force has appeared at the north gate of the outer city area. They are now close to the city and don’t seem to be the Hammer Party.”

Everyone’s argument ceased abruptly.

Someone said: “City Lord, the reinforcements you requested have arrived!”

The city lord was slightly taken aback, but he stood up and said, “Let’s go, take me to see!”

Everyone walked out of the room and swiftly headed towards the combat area.

…

Outside the city wall.

Three forces split the field.

They were suspicious and alert of each other, standing still on the spot.

When Wu Heng arrived with his troops, the battlefield was already heated up with bloodshed everywhere.

However, as the army approached.

Like a plague.

The two sides of the army simultaneously retreated from the battlefield, maintaining a certain distance from each other.

Everyone was looking at this suddenly appeared carrion army with fear.
