Chapter 239: Chapter 203, You Break the Rear (First Update)._2
It’s possible that the battle had already begun.
“You all continue defending, as if the enemy has begun a large-scale siege, have someone notify me when it happens, and I’ll come to assist you,” Wu Heng continued.
“Alright, Team Leader Xie,” the middle-aged commander nodded.
After thinking a bit, Wu Heng said once more, “Give me your command token, I’m going back to help the other city walls, and it might come in handy.”
“This…” The other person began to hesitate.
The command token is the commander’s identity, giving it to someone else is wrong.
“Considering the current circumstances, can your wretched token make the Hammer Party retreat?” Duke said from the side.
The association does not have a concept of command tokens.
A team leader has a badge, which can be used to prove their identity in any city.
This is even more prestigious than a command token from Lundham City.
“Okay!” The middle-aged commander responded, handing over a command token.
After receiving it, Wu Heng immediately said, “I’ll return it when everything’s over, it’s no use for me.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Wu Heng nodded.
The commander turned and headed towards the city wall.
…
He pocketed the command token.
Wu Heng walked towards a nearby pile of corpses.
There were at least a thousand bodies here, piled into a mountain of corpses.
The strong smell of blood filled the entire area, and blood slowly flowed down the pile of corpses, forming a dark red stream on the ground that drained into a sewer.
The sewage here flows into the river outside the city.
The entire river is likely now blood-red.
Looking at the corpses, Wu Heng didn’t feel much, after all, in the Zombie World, cleaning up a horde of zombies would yield several times this number.
Only when corpses fill an entire street, then it’s called a mountain of corpses.
This was just a small hill.
Wu Heng didn’t have much reaction, but Duke and Mata had somewhat difficult expressions.
They weren’t afraid of dead people, but this was the first time they had seen so many.
Wu Heng walked up close and began casting “Dead Bones Battlefield”, causing corpses to stand up and stagger down from the pile of bodies.
Wu Heng removed the white bone from his head and took out two spirit potions to drink.
After restoring his spiritual power, he continued to cast “Dead Bones Battlefield” twice in a row, turning all the bodies into carrion.
Once all the bodies were transformed.
Wu Heng, accompanied by a horde of carrion and a strong smell of blood, emerged.
The knights on the distant city wall retreated a few steps with fear in their eyes.
“Captain, what should we do next?” Duke walked over and asked.
Wu Heng asked, “Are your family members settled?”
“We made some arrangements, but we are not certain about the current situation!” Mata said, showing a worried expression.
Duke also added, “I’m not sure either.”
They both lived in the Outer City Area and had relatives at home.
The incident happened suddenly, and nobody knew exactly what was going on.
To say they weren’t worried was clearly impossible.
Wu Heng outright said, “I’m giving each of you several people, go home first and settle your family.”
After saying that, he allowed them each to pick a few carrion and told them to leave and settle their family first.
The two didn’t decline and nodded.
“Thanks, Captain!”
“Thank you, Captain!”
After thanking him, they turned and left.
Wu Heng looked at the swordsman Galo Berley standing nearby without moving, “Aren’t you leaving?”
“I have nothing set up, so I’ll stick with you!”
Wu Heng nodded, “Let’s go, to the North City Gate.”
…
The battle lasted for a few hours.
The city’s alarm bell rang loudly, fires were raging.
Those seizing the opportunity to loot treasures and commit arson and murder were not few.
The whole city was plunged into chaos.
It seemed like Lundham City would have a new master after today.
Wu Heng didn’t have many people in the city. There was little danger for Mini and Andre Willow in the inner city area.
Even if the Hammer Party invaded the outer city area, they wouldn’t be able to invade the inner city area in a short time.
If danger arises, they would go to the consortium to find Laisia.
Wu Heng had already arranged a retreat route ahead of time.
The only concern now was Wen Mansha of the Pinned Gang.
As a gang conscripted by the city hall, they were responsible for co-defending the north.
Being his first maiden, he didn’t want her in any danger.
“Who are we going to find?” Galo Berley noticed the progressively increasing pace of the team and asked.
“Rescuing a friend,” replied Wu Heng.
“You still have friends?”
“Am I not allowed?” Wu Heng joked.
“You just got here, you shouldn’t have friends you need to risk saving.”
Wu Heng fell silent for a moment before saying, “An informant. I don’t want her to get into any trouble.”
“A woman!”
Wu Heng looked at him, surprised.
“I can tell by your expression.”
…
Outer City North Area.
Thick smoke billowed and cries of war were continuous.
“Charge! Gold, silver, women are all in the city. Whoever gets it owns it.” A female Beastman with twin blades, beheaded one by one, shouting loudly amidst the crowd.
The Hammer Party, Tusk – Ikshir, the only female backbone.
With her hair flared up, she swung her weapon crazily among the crowd.
Wherever she went, heads fell, and her advance was unstoppable.
With a battle cry, the members of the Hammer Party became even more excited, echoing the call and launching even more frenzied attacks.
Living in the deep mountains, the Hammer Party had always longed for the city before them.
Now that they had made their way into the city, their blood was boiling like magma.
The female Beastman also sprang to her feet like a sharp arrow, leading her team into the crowd.
The Iron Guard Knights and other defensive gang members retreated one after another.
There was no room for resistance.
The defensive formation was rushed and dispersed, and the soldiers fell like harvested wheat under their blades.
They could only back away continuously, swinging their weapons in panic.
Dong~!
A piercing knock echoed.
The steel helmet on the Knight Commander’s head was brushed off and flew out of sight.
The horrified Commander touched his head and was dragged towards the back of the crowd in panic.
Living in the city has weakened the Knightly orders. They had no way to withstand the Hammer Party.
Once he was in a safe place, the middle-aged Commander’s gaze swept past the co-defending gang leaders, finally falling on a voluptuous figure wearing leather armour, her fiery red hair bound up.
This woman, taking over her husband’s gang, was not high-ranked and took over not long ago.
Neither her strength nor prestige was worthy of attention.
She was the perfect sacrificial lambs to be sent to the front line.
Such a pity to ruin such a good look.
Once decided, he promptly said, “Wen Mansha, lead your Pinned Gang to cover our retreat. We will set up defenses in the inner city and wait for you.”
Wen Mansha, far away, turned around solemnly after hearing the command, looked at the falling crowd and said flatly, “Why should I?”
The Commander’s expression changed.
In a cold voice, he said, “Wen Mansha, obey the order, lead your people to hold back the enemy now. I will commend you to City Hall afterward.”
“Pfft! Give up, you’re the one running away first, don’t bother commending me,” Wen Mansha retorted without submission.
“What did you say? Disobeying orders, I can kill you now!” The middle-aged Commander pointed his longsword at Wen Mansha.
Several figures with their faces covered surrounded Wen Mansha, getting ready for a fight.
All the nearby people, several gang leaders, all looked surprised at this woman.
In the past, when discussing her, they mentioned her overtaking her husband’s gang, wiping out the White Wolf Gang, her appearance, and her body.
Now, it seemed she had more of a temper than Rocky.
“Fighting among ourselves now, do you think that’s the right choice?” Wen Mansha didn’t back down, her cold eyes watching him.
Whether she got pushed out or not, she’d still die. At least now she could still negotiate with him.
The Commander’s face grew even darker.
The surrounding members of the Iron Guard Knights turned their guns towards them.
…
“Wen Mansha, don’t be petty, think of the bigger picture,”
“Obey the Commander’s order, hold on for a few minutes, then you can retreat, right?”
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me the Pinned Gang wants to disappear?”
The rest of the leaders and backbone members all gathered around.
One by one, they tried to give advice, but their formation was pushing the Pinned Gang members to the front.
