Chapter 293: Chapter 244, Dead or Not_1
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, an explosion engulfed the joint forces of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The entire road was engulfed in the blast, billowing smoke filled the air.
The close-knit joint forces dispersed in different directions. Fragments of limbs and flesh scattered all over.
The proud shield wall was fragile like a piece of paper under the power of the hand grenade. Shields were torn apart, soldiers missing their lower bodies struggled to lie down on one side.
Someone rushed over, intending to help him up.
The scattered fragments penetrated his body. He collapsed forward.
Aitfu was blown up by the explosion and hit the wall. He vomited blood and roared at Ereno, who was also running toward him, “What’s going on?”
Ereno hid behind a low wall, looking like a homeless dog, “If I knew, would I have led the soldiers straight in?”
Then he yelled at the remaining soldiers around him, “Spread out, everyone spread out! The enemy is in the buildings on both sides, break down the doors and kill the enemy!”
Ereno shouted loudly.
But the smoke from the explosion made it difficult to determine the direction, especially in the middle of the night.
Those who didn’t die in the explosion were dizzy, and a buzzing sound rang in their ears.
…
The explosion subsided, but the dust and smoke still lingered.
Within the cloud of dust and smoke, painful howls echoed.
Although the joint forces were dizzy from the explosion, there were more than thirty thousand people gathered this time.
The number of casualties was still within the acceptable range.
Ereno was about to give an order to regroup and charge straight after helping Aitfu up.
Tap! Tap!
The sound of bones rubbing and footsteps sounded from above.
He suddenly looked up and saw shadowy figures densely packed on the rooftops of nearby buildings through the hazy smoke.
Each figure was holding a strange weapon, pointing toward the chaotic crowd below.
Everyone’s heart tightened.
Before they had time to react.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All of the gun barrels above spitted out orange flames, and a hail of bullets rained down like a dense net, enveloping the crowd below.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the troops fell down like harvested wheat.
Even the bodies on the ground were continuously swept by bullets, over and over again.
“Get in the buildings, charge in, and kill the enemy!” Ereno shouted loudly.
Several soldiers pressed against the wall, kicked open the door forcefully, and stormed in.
As soon as they stepped into the room, they saw skeletons holding weapons filling up the room.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of gunfire rang out, and several people were blown out directly.
All the doors and windows on the first floor were swung open.
The skeletons held assault rifles and started spraying bullets outside.
“Damn, what the hell is this?”
Ereno lay on the ground, as dirt continuously fell on his head.
…
Inside a room.
Wu Heng peered through the gap in the window at the battle outside.
The joint forces of the City Lord’s Mansion had gathered at least 30,000 people, including the Iron Guard Knights, the allied forces, and local gang members.
After being greeted by hand grenades and bullets,
more than half of them has been eliminated.
At this point, the joint forces posed no threat to his side whatsoever.
Wu Heng also saw the reinforcements Ereno brought.
Their level should be around twelve or thirteen, which was the entry level for executives, but they were definitely not up to Giovanni’s level sixteen.
Having been shot in the helmet by a sniper rifle, he didn’t dare to swagger about anymore. Just now, he was blown away by a hand grenade again.
It was only due to his high stamina attribute as a warrior that he could still stand up. Otherwise, he would be down by now.
He wasn’t much of a threat either.
The continuous gunfire outside the window stirred up more dust.
Wu Heng spoke through the wireless earpiece, “Has the area been blocked off?”
“It’s completely blocked off!” Wen Mansha’s voice came from the earpiece.
“Draw the net in. Don’t let a single one escape.”
“Understood!”
As his voice dropped, the dense sound of movement and armor colliding echoed below.
A dense army of undead formed a circle of encirclement.
They emerged in the combat area.
The gunfire suddenly stopped.
The densely packed carrions and skeletons, like a fishing net being drawn, charged toward the center.
…
Ereno and Aitfu’s faces changed rapidly as they each issued orders.
“Form up, form a circle around me.”
“Lift your spirits and prepare for battle.”
The two of them shouted loudly, the surviving wounded soldiers, dragging their wounded bodies, began to converge on their position.
But before they could form any kind of battle formation, the undead army had already launched an attack. Wielding their weapons, they charged like bloodthirsty beasts.
The dead bodies fell and turned into spiders with bodies the size of a bowl.
And after the spiders died, there were toxic fumes and explosions.
The faces of everyone in the joint forces were filled with despair.
The possibility of victory was already lost.
…
Central District, The Occupation Guild Association.
The Executive Gomez and Beastman Shaman, the Vice-Executive, stand on the rooftop, watching the battle in the distance.
“Ereno surely has no patience, deploying tonight.”
The old Beastman leans on his staff, “Why make such a racket?”
“It should be Wu Heng, giving that woman some backup.” Gomez rests his hands behind him.
“Are you just going to stand by and let this foolishness continue? When Wu Heng returns, aren’t you afraid that it will escalate?”
“What’s it got to do with me?” Gomez chuckled lightly, “The association doesn’t interfere in territorial disputes, it is a place of rules.”
The old Beastman said, “Maybe Ereno will be the one to suffer!”
“Unlikely! Ereno has held Lundham City for so many years, if he can’t take down a gang woman, then it’s truly shameful.” Pause his speech slightly, “unless Wu Heng hasn’t left.”
“What if he hasn’t left?”
Gomez glanced at the tamed beasts gathering towards the battlefield in the sky, “If he hasn’t left, guild members killing a local city lord is enough to put him on the wanted list.”
…
Snake Badge Consortium.
On a balcony.
Laisia leans against the railings, stirring her tea with a silver spoon.
Watching the combat zone constantly lit up by strong light.
“Has left, yet can’t give peace of mind.”
There is a knock at the door, a guard enters and whispers, “Miss, you wanted to see me?”
“Take someone to monitor the outskirts, if Wen Mansha from Pinned Gang can escape, escort her to me.” Laisia taps her spoon and takes a sip.
The guard glanced back at her, hesitated to move, reminding; “Miss, wouldn’t it be somewhat improper for us to get involved?”
“Just wait on the outskirts, if she can escape then help her, if not, it’s her fate.”
“Alright, miss.” The guard didn’t say anything more, turned, and left.
Laisia swayed her ankle, feeling the ankle chain hidden inside.
She spoke to the night sky.
“Whether your maid can survive or not, it’s up to her.”
…
In the midst of an intense fight.
Green poison smoke covered the entire battlefield.
Endless undead rushing forwards, from the outside the coalition forces were nowhere to be seen.
But the battling proceeds, indicating that someone is still resisting.
A Bone Mage, clad in robes and a high crown, with both hands behind his back, walked around the edge of the battlefield.
With a wave of his hand.
The Dead Bones Battlefield is released, fallen coalition soldiers stood up from the ground and join the fray.
Continuing to battle forward.
And the sky has many tamed beasts hovering.
There must be many people observing this struggle, also indicating the final owner of this city.
“Stop fighting, we were forced by the City Lord to come, stop fighting.”
“Wen Mansha, I know Wu Heng, I am from the Scorpion Gang, I know Captain Wu Heng.”
“Miss, we were wrong, please spare us, spare us!”
Pleads for mercy were passed through the crowd.
The current situation is clear, they can neither defeat nor escape.
They will die here.
All they can think of is pleading loudly so that the Pinned Gang sister-in-law spares them.
However, there is no response.
Only ferocious spiders leaped into the defense, shattering the formation.
Continually cut down and killed by other undead.
…
Battle concludes.
The poison smoke shrouding the surroundings gradually dissipates.
Two skeletons, dragging the seriously injured and vomiting blood Ereno out of the crowd, threw him at the feet of Wen Mansha.
The person who came to reinforce them, a sharp sword plunged into his chest, no longer making any sound.
“I admit defeat, this city is yours, spare me this time.” Ereno vomits blood, saying laboriously.
As long as he is not dead, he can live by taking the potion.
Regret is of no use now, all he can do now is find a way to survive.
Wen Mansha looks at him, “In our gang, we always dread leaving any survivors.”
As her words fell, a nearby skeleton rose and struck down, a head rolled to the side with a thud.
The Skeleton Mage, began releasing the Dead Bones Battlefield, transforming the bodies strewn across the ground.
Wen Mansha turned her head, whispering, “All dead, not a single survivor.”
The voice of Wu Heng came from the radio, “Tonight, take over the City Lord’s Mansion directly.”
Wen Mansha lifted her head, saying to the densely packed undead army, “March, to the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Swoosh~!
The army moved, heading toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
…
Inside the association.
The executive and Vice-executive, drinking tea waiting for the result.
Tap tap tap~!
Urgent footsteps, a squad member rushed in.
“Is that woman still alive?” Gomez asked directly.
The squad member took a deep breath and said, “Alive.”
“Negotiate with Ereno and get this woman back, after all, Wu Heng is one of our guild members.” Gomez spoke softly.
“No sir.” The squad member glanced at them both, continuing, “Ereno is dead, beheaded by an order from Wen Mansha.”
