Chapter 866: Chapter 698, Why Is It You (Second update for today). Chapter 866: Chapter 698, Why Is It You (Second update for today). Some who were seriously injured but not dead lay on the ground, wailing loudly.

“What do we do next?” the Fifth Princess asked.

Philippa glanced around and then spoke to the Big Skull in leather armor beside her, “Split the Skeleton Flying Dragons into two groups. One to attack the enemies' ships at sea, the other to assault those hiding. The rest prepare to advance and clear the path for Wu Heng.”

There were still many enemies below.

Although they had retreated, they just hid behind the outer buildings and didn't really leave.

Moreover, Wu Heng hadn't returned yet.

They had ships on their side, defending against the sea.

Wu Heng was originally in the city, which could be more dangerous.

Whether the people from the association's headquarters lived or died didn't matter, but nothing could happen to Wu Heng.

As the orders were given, a howling sound came from the giant cargo ship.

Skeleton Flying Dragons jumped off from both sides, circling the sky before flying off in different directions: one group towards the sea and the other towards the harbor.

Reaching a certain height.

The chamber in their chest cavities opened, and a dense rain of iron fell from the sky.

Dust and smoke rose everywhere, blotting out the sun.

On the main road leading to the harbor.

The Association's members quickened their pace again.

It wasn't just Wu Heng and those from headquarters, but also local association members and some of their families.

Both sides had revealed their stances.

Any person left behind faced only the prospect of being killed.

“Uncle, there's poisonous smoke,” a voice reached Wu Heng's ears.

At the same time, billowing smoke suddenly rose on both sides, dark as ink and with an acrid smell, spreading toward them.

“Poison gas, take precautions,” Wu Heng shouted, putting on his gas mask.

The rest of the people also began to react, donning protective gear or using hoods to cover their mouths and noses.

The Priests in the group quickly moved beside the Elders and veteran mages, one hand on their bodies, casting a protective shield enveloping them and driving away the poison.

The two unanimously recognized as the highest combat power in the group had to be secured unharmed; only then would the others survive.

Mage Gianvito swung his magic wand with force, whipping up strong gusts of wind.

The poison smoke was blown away, only to spread again.

“You were already given a murderer. Why didn't you leave peacefully instead of looking for your own deaths?” A cold voice came from another direction through the smoke.

Faint shapes could be seen behind the haze.

“It's the Commander of level 18,” Glenda's voice came again to his ears.

Wu Heng stepped forward and whispered, “It's the city's Commander, a level 18 professional. I've investigated him before.”

Elder Tapani narrowed his eyes.

No wonder, there was a level 18 professional in the city.

He nodded slightly and addressed those in front, “Do you understand the consequences of killing members of the association's headquarters? Not only will you not survive, but the entire Yeko Kingdom, including your families, will be implicated.”

While speaking, people behind him fell one after another, poisoned.

The Detoxifying Potion was unable to counteract the ongoing toxicity, and the Priests in the team could only continually supply a protective shield against the poison to a few high-level professionals.

After speaking, he whispered again to the side, “Danger, take Wu Heng and Sim and leave, teleport out.”

Gianvito asked, “And the others?”

“It's up to fate.”

“Understood!”

They spoke quietly.

From the other side came sneering laughter, “Heh~! Send more men, and kill them just like you did.”

“Presumptuous!”

With a thunderous shout, Tapani dashed forward with a light tap of his foot, plunging into the smoke.

Accompanying the movement, storms thundered.

Then, they could see Elder Tapani's figure clashing fiercely with others in the smoke, Sword Radiance and Fist Gang splashing everywhere, exploding around.

“Kill~!” At the same time, shouts of killing rose all around.

A large group of Kingdom's soldiers emerged from both sides, their mouths and noses covered, obviously unafraid of the poison smoke.

They must have had specially made Detoxification Potion.

“Engage the enemy!” Gianvito shouted loudly, pointing his magic wand forward, boom boom~!

Lines of lightning struck down from the sky.

Enemy soldiers caught in the path lay charred and limp on the ground.

Association members charged out with their weapons, confronting the enemy head-on.

Bang bang bang~!

On Wu Heng's side, a few Skeletons holding machine guns fired at the enemy ahead, a row of enemies fell dead.

Using [Battleground of Remains] to cast [Corpse Manipulation Skill].

The dead bodies on the ground transformed into carrion, clawing and biting at the enemy.

As each carrion was killed, it continued to turn into spiders the size of a bowl.

The spider died, the Evil Explosion Skill triggered.

Necromantic Poison Gas permeated the surroundings.

It created an isolation zone in the direction of Wu Heng's defense.

“Stop killing and find out who's commanding,” Wu Heng said to the half-empty air.

The three Ghosts stopped their killing.

They quickly dispersed and flew in different directions.

Wu Heng glanced at his own side, the carrion could withstand for a while, he immediately went to support the others behind.

With the rifle in hand, he mowed down the enemies, then transformed the corpses for attack.

As a Necromancer, he was suited for these kinds of battlefield situations.

With enough corpses and the ability to continuously transform them from the rear.

“Wu Heng, that Island Master is in that building, he's commanding the battle here,” Bella flew back from outside and whispered in his ear.

They had found the commander.

“Get Glenda to kill him.”

“She can't. He must be carrying some kind of item,” Glenda said.

This fellow was really well prepared.

“I'll go kill him,” Wu Heng said.

“There are ambushes in the building, it seems they are waiting for Gianvito to teleport in.”

“Tricky!” Wu Heng muttered under his breath and quickly walked toward Gianvito's position, “That Island Master is commanding the battle.”

“Where?” Gianvito asked curiously.

“In that building over there, giving out orders through Messenger soldiers,” Wu Heng pointed into the distance.

Gianvito glanced at the distant building and said, “I'll go and kill him.”

“Let me do it. The Skeletons and I are better suited for fighting inside the building,” Wu Heng said.

“You're going to kill your way through?”

“Wait for me to bring back his head, tell everyone to hold on,” Wu Heng said before calling Kai Xiu and Kerim to stand beside him.

The Array Pattern beneath his feet lit up, covering Wu Heng and the Skeleton in its glow.

Gianvito's eyes widened, “You… learned it?”

The next second, they vanished.

Gianvito was somewhat startled in place, “How did he just join the Necromancy school?”

Murmuring to himself, his Magic Wand swung again.

A barrage of Energy Arrows fell from above, crackling into the crowd, causing another large number of enemies to die.

Squeak, squeak~!

A grating noise sounded.

Bang~!

A crossbow bolt as thick as an arm shot in from a distance, shattering the carrion along its path, and a Guild member was sent flying backward.

Gianvito's gaze turned to the source as bolts of lightning struck down the ballistae.

The Array flickered.

Accompanied by the Skeleton, Wu Heng appeared at the entrance of the building.

The Ghost had detected ambushes and traps inside, so they hadn't dared to jump in recklessly.

“Ready to go on a killing spree?” Wu Heng shook his head.

“Ready,” Xiao Xiao raised her hand.

The other two Ghosts nodded their heads as well.

Squeak~!

Just as he was about to suggest rushing in, the door in front opened by itself, and two Messenger soldiers hurriedly ran out.

Seeing Wu Heng and the Skeleton Attendant, they paused in their steps.

Turning to run back, they were killed by Kai Xiu, who advanced forward.

Wu Heng entered the building with the Skeleton.

“I was expecting Gianvito to come,” said Daxier, the City Lord inside the building, his tone somewhat surprised.

Around him were the hidden assassins and devices, ready to attack if Gianvito teleported in.

“What were you thinking? Aren't you afraid the Guild will come after you?” Wu Heng asked, voicing his doubt.

“I've been trying to hold on, but unfortunately, you kept investigating,” Daxier sighed, “Tied to the carriage, I had no choice but to move forward.”

“Brittany was sure you wouldn't do this; it seems she was mistaken.”

“The Fifth Princess? She's a bit too idealistic in her view of things,” Daxier said with a smile, “Today only one of us can live, and if you win, you'll get a lot of answers when you question the corpse.”

“You make me quite eager,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Daxier said no more, his eyes instantly turning cold as he said in a chilled voice, “Kill him.”

Whirr~!

Countless figures pounced from every direction.
