Chapter 240: Chapter 204, What happened to you?_1
Wen Mansha’s face was cold, and there was a strong sense of resentment in her heart.
Everyone knew the purpose of the City Hall mobilizing the gang members.
Under normal circumstances, they were given cooperative defense tasks but were sent to the front as cannon fodder once a war started or under special circumstances.
However, they didn’t expect to be singled out to shield the City Hall.
Even the Iron Guard Knights couldn’t withstand the Hammer Party.
If they went out, they feared that they wouldn’t even get a chance to fight back.
“Gentlemen, are you not afraid of being ridiculed if you send a woman like me out there?” Wen Mansha continued.
Someone sneered coldly, “Wen Mansha, all of us are gang leaders. We need to weigh the pros and cons of our actions. This isn’t about men and women. We’re not in the bedroom. If a task has been assigned to you by the Knights, you should follow it.”
The Knight Commander glanced at the Hammer Party, which was still wildly slaughtering.
He spoke directly, “Wen Mansha, if you don’t obey the order, I will kill you now.”
Wen Mansha looked at the people who were closing in on her, gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, I accept it today!”
The middle-aged commander immediately ordered, “Pinned Gang, move forward and cover others in their retreat. We will set up a defensive circle along the way for you to cross.”
The Pinned Gang members, like prisoners, were driven to the front.
They met the rampaging Hammer Party head-on.
Being a small gang, they lacked the strength to confront the Hammer Party.
In an instant, they were massacred, leaving cries all over the place.
The remaining people, upon shaking off the Hammer Party’s pursuit, immediately turned and ran in full flight.
In a whoosh, almost everyone scattered away.
…
“When did you start suspecting Burke?” the Swordsman, Galo Berley, asked on the side.
Wu Heng, leading his army of carrion, continued forward, looking at him, “Why do you ask?”
“Now that I think about it, you kept a close eye on him, you should have suspected him a long time ago.” Galo Berley continued.
“He was recommended by the City Hall, and the association recruits talents, but rarely works with local power. Don’t you think it’s strange?” Wu Heng said casually.
Galo Berley fell into thought, “Do you suspect the councilor? Only with his permission could someone be arranged in.”
“The councilor probably didn’t know about this, or due to some special relationship, agreed to let him in. He’s dead now, so there’s nothing more to say,” Wu Heng replied.
Councilor Gomez must have not known the other party’s intent.
Because Galo Berley was the spy arranged by Gomez himself. It was unlikely that he would arrange two spies at the same time.
Wu Heng did not care much; now that the other party was dead.
With the chaos in Lundham City, all conflicts would be revealed. There was nothing to fear anymore.
Who could survive until the end was uncertain, so why think too much about it?
“Hmm!” Galo Berley stopped talking.
The team then passed through the alley and directly entered the main road leading to the north district.
Just as they stepped out, they saw a large group of deserting soldiers running towards the central city district.
One by one, they discarded their armor and were in a sorry state.
“Stop them!” Wu Heng ordered.
The carrion army charged out in an instant, blocking the way.
…
Suddenly, a chilling wind, accompanied by a pungent smell of blood, rushed to their faces.
The escaping troops suddenly stopped.
They all looked up together at the crowd blocking the road.
As they recognized the appearance of the group, their faces all changed, and the timid ones took a few steps back.
The troops in front were in different outfits.
The Hammer Party, the Iron Guard Knights, and equipment featuring gang characteristics.
Their skin was shriveled and waxy yellow, wounds with flesh overturned, they looked like corpses that had just crawled out of a grave, disheveled, with limbs slack, holding various weapons.
Carrion!
How could there be carrion in the city, and they even came from within the city.
Crap!
The Pinned Gang couldn’t hold on for much longer. Now their path was blocked by this group of carrion.
And there were quite a few of them.
Why was he running so slowly? Damn it!
At this time, two figures came from behind the carrion.
From their attire and insignia, it was clear that they were from the association.
“What are you running for?” Wu Heng asked, his eyes sweeping over the crowd without spotting Wen Mansha.
“The city gate was compromised. Following the City Lord’s Mansion order, we…we followed the commander’s order and retreated to the central city district,” one of them said stammeringly, often looking back as if he was afraid someone was chasing them.
“Where’s the commander?” Wu Heng continued.
“Ran, ran, he ran the fastest!”
“What about the Pinned Gang? Did they also run out?”
At his words, everyone at the scene was stunned, all maintaining silence.
Wu Heng squinted, “Speak!”
“The Pinned Gang…the commander ordered the Pinned Gang to cover the others in their retreat. They are still left behind. The Hammer Party will be here soon. Please let us go!” the gang member pleaded uneasily.
The Hammer Party was so fierce.
They divided their forces and could still cause such chaos.
“How many people are in the Hammer Party? Who’s leading them? Tell us and you can go,” Wu Heng stated directly.
“There were a lot of people, it was too chaotic at the scene so I am not sure, the leader was a core member of the Hammer Party. There’s a bounty on her at the association, she’s a female Beastman, nicknamed Tusk,” the gang member spoke hurriedly.
After speaking, he continued, “Can we leave now?”
Wu Heng gestured, and the carrion opened a path.
“Th, Thank you.” All the gang members fled immediately.
Wu Heng stared ahead and ordered directly, “Speed up and proceed.”
