The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

As he crossed the pub on the first floor..

…a limping man stood by the bar, slapping his thigh, muttering, ‘Too late, they really left.’

Wu Heng ignored him, led his men, and walked straight out of the pub.

He headed in the other direction.

He crossed a street and entered another pub.

Duke and Mata, who had been sitting patiently at a table, quickly opened a chair for him upon his arrival.

Once he sat down, Duke immediately asked, “Captain, how did things go?”

“I found their location. There are nine of them in total, all seeming to be high level.” Wu Heng said quietly.

“What should we do now?” asked Duke.

“The face of the fugitive is a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He is our only target. We don’t have to chase the others if they flee, as long as we catch him.” Wu Heng advised.

They both nodded, indicating that they understood.

“They outnumber us, and the fifth squad just made them tense. Be careful, we don’t want to get hurt because of this.” Wu Heng added as a caution.

“Understood, captain.”

After a brief chat, they settled the bill and left the pub.

They headed towards the courtyard where the fugitive was located.

…

Whoosh~ thunk.

A sharp arrow whistled out, instantly piercing the eyes of a spy leaning against the wall in the alley.

A tamed beast, Black Feather, flying in the sky, also swiftly swooped down.

It grabbed the ranger taming the creature perched upon the roof, biting off his entire head in one gulp.

“Charge in!” ordered Wu Heng.

The group no longer hid, rushing rapidly into the alley.

Duke crashed straight into the wooden door, bang~ bang! After two bangs, the door was forced open.

The instant it was opened.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!~!

A few arrows fiercely shot out from inside of the courtyard.

Duke’s armor deflected two of the arrows. He was pulled aside by Wu Heng.

The remaining arrows clattered against the wall behind them.

After the arrows.

Basen and Bawudong quickly appeared at the entrance, their fingers on the trigger aimed at the figures inside.

Bang! Bang! Bang!~!

Bullets poured out furiously, sprayed towards the men who fired the arrows.

For a moment, arrows and bullets constantly shot through the small courtyard entrance, firing relentlessly at those on the other side.

“Smoke bomb!” Wu Heng ordered.

Duke quickly took out a few smoke bombs, ignited them, puffed the fuses a few times, then tossed them over the wall into the courtyard.

After a loud curse was heard from inside…

Bang!~Bang! A few sounds were heard.

Dense smoke instantly filled the courtyard.

Then, severe coughing sounds followed.

“Charge in!” commanded Wu Heng again.

Basen and Bawudong, with rifles in their hands, stormed straight in, firing at close range.

Screams echoed incessantly for a while.

Just as Duke was about to tie his scarf and charge into the melee…

Mata said, “Captain, Scarface is trying to escape through the south wall with two others.”

A thought flashed through Wu Heng’s mind, “Let’s go, we can’t let him escape.”

They quickly turned the corner and saw Scarface and two others jumping down from the wall.

Duke shouted and charged in their direction before they landed.

With a dull thud, he slammed into them…

…sending them flying a few meters away.

Duke raised his battle axe and slammed it down hard.

Scarface’s face blanched. He drew his longsword to block the chop. The axe clanged against the longsword, deflecting it to the side.

He kicked Duke away and brandished his sword menacingly.

Wu Heng leveled his pistol, bang bang bang~! He fired several shots, piercing the chests and skulls of the two others who hadn’t yet regained their balance, killing them instantly.

Noticing the demise of his two comrades, Scarface turned to flee.

Wu Heng extended a hand in front of him, fingers tightly clenched into a fist.

Crack! Crack!

A massive cage made up of white bones shot up from the ground, imprisoning him within.

“From the 12th squad,” Scarface said coldly.

“Surrender. There’s no more place for you to run,” Wu Heng said.

Scarface sneered, “If it were any other squad, I might have been trapped here, but you guys, you might not be up to snuff.”

The next second, a scroll appeared in his hand.

Flames spread along his longsword.

He turned around and swung it horizontally.

Bang~!

A dull sound resonated as the longsword struck the cage of white bones.

The entire bone cage began to vibrate violently.

“Kill him,” Wu Heng ordered directly.

“Ahhh!” Duke roared, charging with his battle-ax.

Wu Heng manipulated the bone cage to open a passage. Duke rushed in directly, fighting face-to-face with the opponent.

Mata leaped atop a wall in a single step. In a manner reminiscent of strumming a harp, he rapidly drew his longbow. One after another, arrows shot through the gaps in the bone cage, aimed at the opponent’s location.

Wu Heng maintained his control over the bone cage, raising his hand to pop off a few shots.

But the other side was more agile, and it was difficult to aim while he was entangled with Duke.

Packing up his pistol, he continued to release his skills.

The Disease Radiation and Decay Ray hit the opponent instantly.

Scarface’s face twisted. Warding off the incoming battle-ax with his longsword, he tore two more scrolls.

The next second.

All negative effects on him disappeared, and a ring of intense fire billowed from him.

It sent Duke flying, then continued to ignite the white bones of the cage.

Whistle whistle~!

More arrows screamed through the air while the opponent hastily rolled to evade them.

Simultaneously, Basen and Bawudong, from within the courtyard, vaulted over the opposite side of the wall.

“Go in, kill him.” Wu Heng, controlling the bone cage, opened a passage.

The two of them rushed in directly.

All three started attacking Scarface.

Duke was no match for him, and even with Wu Heng and Mata, they still had a hard time to achieve victory in a short time.

But Bawudong was a standard Level 12 profession.

His own power was not necessarily inferior to Scarface.

As soon as he joined the battle, he immediately reversed the situation and began to dominate the opponent.

During a fierce battle.

Bawudong smashed his fist into the opponent’s throat.

Basen stabbed his short blade into the heart from under the ribs. Scarface’s eyes were fierce, but his body slowly collapsed.

He eventually died in the bone cage with his eyes still open.

Wu Heng received a notification of experience gain.

It signified that the other side had perished.

The bone cage slowly dissipated.

They dragged the body over slowly.

Wu Heng glanced around and continued, “Take the bodies into the courtyard.”

They dragged the bodies into the adjacent courtyard.

Inside, bodies were strewn all over the place.

None had managed to escape amid the confusion – all lay here.

Wu Heng looked at the bodies and said, “Duke, guard the entrance of the alley. If anyone comes in, tell them we are on a mission. Mata, take stock of their goods and see if there are any other good things.”

“Yes, captain.”

With orders acknowledged, they hurried away.

Wu Heng turned his gaze to Scarface’s corpse on the ground, beginning to strip off the equipment on him.

In addition to his armor and weapons, he had more than two hundred silver coins, a scroll.

And a somewhat strange item…
