Chapter 249: Chapter 209, Are You the City Lord Now?_1
The battle ended, and skeletons like Bawudong, Blazing Blade, and Blood Axe quickly followed.
They surrounded Wu Heng and the tricycle, protecting them in the middle.
“Don’t worry, the person is already dead,” said Wu Heng.
Soon, the bodies in the alley were dragged out.
They were thrown at our feet.
The giant and robust Beastman had been beaten beyond recognition, his armor was like a beehive, full of dents.
His limbs were intact, but they had been turned into mush by bullets.
It was only his robust body that prevented him from losing any limbs.
Just as he was about to release the Bone Manipulation Skill, he paused.
After thinking for a while, he took out the tablet he usually used for showing cartoons to Xiao Xiao from the Space Ring. He switched it to camera mode.
He took a couple of photos of the body, then took a selfie with the body.
This was Skull Crusher, the leader of the Hammer Party.
The bounty from the association was three Gold Coins, a level two meritorious service. If turning him into a skeleton wasn’t recognized by the association, there would be trouble.
He was counting on this merit to promote himself to an executive or vice-executive position.
He took a few more shots.
Feeling it was enough, he began to release the Bone Manipulation Skill.
Bathed in necromancy magic, the body slowly wrapped up, and the instability warning from the insufficient level also appeared right after.
Then, blood and flesh fell off, and the giant Beastman skeleton, which was over four meters tall, slowly stood up.
Shaking its skull, it made a crackling sound.
[Skeleton Beast Warrior (Level 16)]
A level 16 skeleton.
The level was lower than he had expected.
When Skull Crusher single-handedly repelled numerous skeletons and chased the tricycle, Wu Heng thought he had provoked a level 20 enemy!
That momentum was certainly massive.
According to the records in the Book of Necromancy.
After class change, they would become first-order professionals, with level 5 as second-order, level 10 as third-order, level 15 as fourth-order, level 18 as fifth-order, and level 20 as a hero.
In the whole professional ranking system.
A level 16, fourth-order professional was already among the top of the world.
And the executives appointed by the association were only required to be level 12, which was enough to represent a powerful force.
Of course, Wu Heng hoped that his converted skeletons would be as high-level as possible.
But level 16 was not bad.
In fact, it was surprising that a leader of the bandits reached level 16.
If it wasn’t for his participation in this war.
Construction of the castle would certainly change hands today.
Nothing good would have happened to the nobles in the downtown district either.
“From now on, you continue to be called Skull Crusher. Pick up your weapon and come out,” Wu Heng commanded directly.
Skull Crusher walked out of the rotten flesh, returned to the small alley, picked up the long-handled war hammer that had just fallen, and stood aside.
The physique of a Beastman was already large.
When Skull Crusher came in, he was a head taller than the other Beastman skeletons.
Which made him appear exceptionally tall.
Wu Heng was just about to check Skull Crusher’s attributes when hurried footsteps came from behind.
He saw Wen Mansha leading a few gang members rapidly approaching.
She pulled down the cloth covering her mouth and nose and said: “Captain, the downtown troops have withdrawn. The Hammer Party has gone mad and is attacking.”
Wu Heng frowned and immediately understood the Iron Guard Knights’ thoughts.
They planned to let him and the Hammer Party fight to the death, then deal with the remaining party later.
They couldn’t win the war so now they’ve adopted this plan.
“What do we do now?” Wen Mansha asked again.
“Go back first, eliminate the Hammer Party people and then talk,” said Wu Heng. He signalled for Wen Mansha to come.
Wen Mansha looked puzzled but sat on the side of the tricycle.
Wu Heng twisted the handle and the tricycle rushed forward with a whoosh.
The strong push made Wen Mansha scream. She held on to the armrest tightly, staring at the strange driving apparatus in surprise.
And the skeletons and gang members, after their initial surprise, jogged along behind the tricycle.
…
Returning to the battlefield, the battle was still ongoing.
The direction of the downtown district had already withdrawn its troops. Many people could be seen repairing the city gate, intending to close it again to block outsiders from getting close.
Meanwhile, the Hammer Party had launched an intense attack.
Every person was wearing a scarf as they rushed towards the carrion.
Wu Heng ordered Glenda and Xiao Xiao to observe the battlefield situation from above.
He then issued the order: “Attack, kill the Hammer Party.”
High-level skeletons led the carrion to counterattack, rolling towards the Hammer Party like waves.p>
Soon, the Hammer Party began to lose members rapidly.
In particular, an extremely ferocious skeleton was charging around the team. Judging from the skeleton and the weapons and armor, he was the leader of the Hammer Party.
The leader had already been killed by the opponent and made into an undead servant.
The morale of the Hammer Party dropped to rock bottom instantly.
Large numbers of people began to flee.
Ignoring everything, one after another, they turned around and ran towards the city gate.
Wu Heng ordered the carrion to pursue symbolically.
When everyone had escaped from the city gate, he closed it directly.
Skull Crusher was dead, and the core figure of the Hammer Party who wielded the Double Axe was nowhere to be seen. Wu Heng speculated that he had realized they couldn’t win and had run away with his people.
It didn’t matter; the core of the Hammer Party was the level 16 Skull Crusher.
Now that ‘Skull Crusher’ was dead and the Hammer Party had few members left, even if they went back to being bandits, they were unlikely to achieve much.
They wouldn’t even qualify as a big gang.
…
The battle ended, and the poison gas gradually dissipated.
It revealed the bodies piled up like a mountain on the ground, and more than a thousand ascending carrion.
