Chapter 205: 178, Life and Death Struggle_2
She swept a glance around her.
These were the helpers Wu Heng had given her: four somewhat absent-minded skeletons wearing round helmets, and some strange equipment pulled by a horse cart.
The long object supported by a four-legged iron frame had a thin chain on one side.
It seemed to be a kind of long-range device from her master’s hometown.
Keeping her face unchanged, she said solemnly, “I have everything arranged. The White Wolf Gang will be destroyed tonight. Our Pinned Gang will become infamous tomorrow. Rest assured, I’m not stupid enough to gamble with my life by going against the Inner City’s plans.”
When they heard about the inner city’s arrangements, the key members and followers around her had a moment of silence.
Then they understood their sister-in-law’s meaning.
The Inner City planned to destroy the White Wolf Gang, and they were just insignificant helpers. Everything was already arranged.
Although they still had doubts, the squad had come this far and had no choice but to forge ahead.
“Okay, let’s listen to our sister-in-law,” someone said.
Wen Mansha let a confident smile cross her face. “After tonight, each of you will receive a generous reward.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
The squad continued marching forward.
As they move towards the narrow streets, a series of hidden gazes instantly focused on the crowd.
At the same time, several tamed beasts stationed in high buildings took to the sky in synchrony and started circling above the crowd.
We have been discovered.
With a large group approaching, it was hard to evade the gazes of the rangers.
Squeak~ clatter~!
In the distance, the doors of a few buildings swung open.
The members of the White Wolf Gang quickly emerged.
A large crowd had gathered in the alley ahead.
Gal, the leader of the White Wolf Gang, pushed his way to the front, his gaze somewhat scrutinizing as he looked at the opposing side. “Pinned Gang! Have you lost your minds coming to find trouble in our territory?”
The White Wolf Gang was a faction from the Outer City, while the Pinned Gang belonged to the city outskirts.
There was simply no comparison between their strength and numbers.
Ever since the White Wolf Gang’s tamed beasts had noticed the Pinned Gang’s movements, they had gathered many members.
Their numbers surpassed those of the Pinned Gang.
Him coming here only marked him as insane.
“Gal, surrender now. I’ll spare your brothers,” Wen Mansha said sternly.
“Hahahaha!”
The members of the White Wolf Gang were startled, then they broke out into uproarious laughter.
Gal’s gaze slowly shifted to Wen Mansha, whose fiery long hair, voluptuous figure, and gorgeous features shone in the crowd. He coldly said, “Wen Mansha, when ‘Rocky’ wanted you to spend a few nights with me, he went missing and the matter was put off. I never thought you’d be so eager. I’ll enjoy your body for a while and take really good care of his woman.”
“You’re asking for death!” Wen Mansha flared up with anger.
“The ones looking for trouble are you! You dare to interfere with the Inner City’s matters, and now you’re even helping out that newly appointed little captain. You must be out of your mind,” Gal replied, raising his long sword. He said coldly, “Brothers, don’t harm that mistress. Tonight, I want to have my fun. I’ll take ‘Rocky’s’ woman for him.”
Hahahaha~
The White Wolf Gang broke out into hearty laughter once again.
They pulled out their weapons and swaggered forward.
Then, they began to charge, ready to attack the foolish enemy.
Facing off against the fierce White Wolf Gang alliance.
The members of the Pinned Gang began to look terrified and withered.
Their eyes darted around, seemingly looking for escape routes.
Bang~!
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out.
One of the White Wolf Gang members who tried to storm forward had his shoulder explode, and his entire arm disappeared cleanly at the shoulder joint.
The warm, sticky blood splattered all over the others.
Everyone watched the scene unfold before their eyes in horror.
Before they could react, another boom resounded. An intense orange flash, and another member of the enemy gang’s chest burst open, flesh and blood splattering all around.
Bang, bang, bang~!
The heavy machine gun was like an enraged dragon, spewing forth a tongue of orange flame.
The bullets comprised a ferocious onslaught.
As they swept across the alley, the victims shattered into pieces, entire groups falling at once.
The White Wolf Gang was left wailing and fleeing.
Even the Pinned Gang and Wen Mansha herself looked shocked and terrified at the sight of the weapon spewing fire and the enemy gang members falling like wheat before a scythe.
How could such a terrifying weapon exist?
However, after a short moment of shock, Wen Mansha snapped back to reality.
Wu Heng owned a similar weapon named a handgun, and what she was witnessing was essentially an upsized version of it, featuring drastically enhanced power.
…
Meanwhile, in the Inner City.
Wu Heng, through the telescope, observed the battle at the opponent’s mansion.
The skeleton army had surrounded the building and launched an attack inside.
It seemed that the people inside were still resisting.
Despite the overwhelming number, they were still resisting up to this point. The guards on the other side seemed to have some experts.
At this moment, the spectre ‘Glenda’ flew out of the building and said, “They are all hiding inside the building, planning to wait until the ‘Iron Guard Knights’ arrive.”
Waiting for the Iron Guard Knights to come.
That’s not a bad idea.
After all, this is the inner city area, and the overall security is maintained by the Iron Guard Knights.
The situation here must have already caught the attention of the knight group. They hadn’t come directly because they were gathering teams or making some other arrangements.
“Let me take a look,” said Wu Heng.
Glenda dived into his body, and the scene was synced to his mind.
The building was in chaos inside, with corpses and broken bones littering the ground.
Gianluca’s injuries had already healed.
He was protected by several guards at the back, judging from their combat experience, their levels shouldn’t be low.
One of them stood out in particular.
He was tall and burly, dressed in silver armor, and had a blazing red flame burning on his longsword. His fire blade ascends as he swings freely, shattering and burning any skeletons that approach.
He kept issuing orders to the others. It seemed he was responsible as the team leader.
Because of him, the pace of the battle was drastically slowed down.
That’s why it hadn’t ended yet.
Wu Heng let ‘Glenda’ out again.
He turned to the ‘Bighead Skeleton’ beside him and said, “Give the order. Attack all.”
…
Inside the building.
Gianluca was protected by many guards at the back, leaning in a corner.
Although he wasn’t injured much.
But facing the persistent skeleton attack, his face had turned even paler.
Previously, he thought Wu Heng was seeking revenge on him.
After all, the information showed that he was also a necromancer, and he possessed a strange and powerful weapon.
But now it seems, he might have offended a more powerful necromancer.
How could a rookie control such a massive undead army?
It must be a strong, old, and deep-rooted undead mage.
Was this kid his guide?
Damn it, the information provided by the guild was so unreliable. This kid wasn’t alone, he had a powerful support behind him.
No wonder Yazde and Anel both failed.
Everything that didn’t make sense before makes sense at this moment.
But there was no chance for regret.
The situation he was in now could not be resolved peacefully.
He had to hold on.
This is the inner city after all. Such a large-scale operation would bring the Iron Guard Knights to the scene quickly.
As soon as the battle starts chaos, their people would have a chance to escape.
He would plan the next step then.
“You, you guys fight hard. Once we get out, I’ll give you more money,” Gianluca continued to say, for fear that they’d abandon him.
Bang~!
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded.
Four giant skeletons, nearly three meters tall, clad in iron armour, and with giant arms reaching past their knees, directly broke through the frontline.
With big swings of their arms, they flung all the surrounding guards and skeletons.
They hit heavily on the walls on both sides.
The empty eye sockets scanned around and immediately rushed towards ‘Gianluca’.
The guard captain stepped aside to stop it.
Bang~!
He was instantly knocked flying, hitting the bookshelf behind him.
Gianluca, horrified, turned to run towards the stairwell.
However, he just ran a few steps.
He was grabbed by a giant claw from the roof, crushed and chewed in its mouth.
Gianluca struggled continuously, shouting, “Save me, I’ll give you money, 50 gold, 100 gold, whoever saves me, hurry.”
Crack~ Crack!
The sound of bone breaking rang.
Gianluca’s body was torn in two, and blood and organs were spilling out all over.
Meanwhile, the giant skeletons formed a circle and killed the captain of the guards.
