The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 867

Chapter 867: Chapter 699, Looking Back, There Is Only One Way Chapter 867: Chapter 699, Looking Back, There Is Only One Way The courtyard was filled with soldiers clad in heavy armor, with shields and longswords placed in front of them, resembling machines forged from steel.

The gate was kicked open with a bang.

All eyes simultaneously turned towards the three figures who burst in.

“It's the enemy!” someone shouted.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~!

The soldiers picked up their hand crossbows and fired.

Two skeletons shielded Wu Heng, arrows piercing their leather armor and embedding in their bodies.

“Kill!”

“Wipe them out.”

Orders were issued almost simultaneously on both sides.

The heavy armored infantry picked up their weapons and charged towards the door.

Kai Xiu and Kerim, splitting to the left and right, leveled their machine guns and began firing at the incoming crowd.

Bang bang bang~!

The booming explosions and the sound of bullets tearing through metal armor.

Echoed throughout the area.

At such a close distance, the bullets had maximum lethal effect.

The seemingly impregnable armor was torn open, creating gaping holes into which the bodies of the soldiers were embedded.

Some tried to raise their shields in defense, but under the dense, rain-like barrage, the shields shattered, and the heavy armored infantry fell in batches, filling the entire courtyard.

Everyone was dead, and the machine guns ceased firing.

The air was filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder and overwhelming blood.

Wu Heng raised his magic wand, and a gray-white ring of light spread out.

The heavy armored infantry who had just died in the courtyard staggered to their feet and walked towards them.

Blood and flesh, melted from the holes in their shattered armor, continuously leaked out.

Dripping and forming puddles on the ground.

“Uncle, they are still inside, guarding the entrance, waiting for you to enter,” Xiao Xiao said.

“The City Lord didn't escape through the back door, did he?”

“No, Aunt Glenda is watching him. He can't escape,” Xiao Xiao replied.

Wu Heng nodded, glancing at the tightly closed building in front of him.

Through the cracks, he could sense the eyes watching from the other side.

They hadn't immediately fled through the back.

Did they think they still had a chance to fight back, relying on the mechanisms and ambushes inside the building?

Creak~!

The door of the building opened a crack.

As if provoking, daring them to come inside.

“You all die utterly, but I still wish to be a hero!”

Wu Heng pulled a machine cannon directly from his space ring.

He set it up on the ground, arranging the ammunition belt, and aimed the barrel forward.

The next second, like the roar of a heavenly god, dense flames shot towards the building in front.

Doors and windows were as fragile as paper, and bricks, stone, and debris flew everywhere.

The sturdy walls, under the rain-like bombardment of shells, crumbled into ruins, dust rising like smoke.

…

Once the ammunition belt was depleted, casings covered the ground.

The walls shook precariously and then collapsed with a thunderous crash, stirring up clouds of dust.

The scene inside the building was now fully exposed.

The ground was littered with bodies blasted apart, limbs and fragments scattered throughout the room.

A few severely wounded soldiers, coughing up blood, as the walls collapsed, showed terrified expressions when they saw the machine cannon outside.

Coughing blood they cried out, “Spare us, it's not our fault.”

“Don't kill us.”

“Willing to cooperate with the investigation, spare us, please spare us.”

As one shouted, the others also began to cry out.

They pleaded loudly, now willing to cooperate with the investigation, just to be spared.

Wu Heng scanned the inside, not seeing the City Lord Daxier among the living.

Wu Heng waved his hand, “Kill them all.”

The heavy armor skeletons standing by rushed forward.

They killed the wounded who were wailing inside the room.

What time was it, the exterior forces were still besieging the guild members.

Keeping prisoners would only bring trouble.

“Uncle, that person is inside,” Xiao Xiao immediately said.

…

Within a room inside.

The City Lord Daxier, covered in blood, his one arm limply hanging, desperately gulped down an elixir.

Listening to the pleas outside and the final cries.

Daxier's complexion grew even uglier and panicked.

He had managed to hold back two level 18 professionals, the rest was to finish off everyone.

But the least noticeable, thought only to be coming along for investigative purposes, the Island Master of the Gold and Silver Island demonstrated such formidable combat power.

Replacing the veteran mage, he had reached him.

Not right.

Even if that level 18 Mage came over, he probably couldn't destroy a building into this state within a few seconds.

“Damn it, what kind of monster is this?”

Daxier cursed, feeling regret once again.

He shouldn't have underestimated him.

Or, he shouldn't have agreed to this plan.

Struggling to take out a scroll, he tore it open forcefully.

A Magic Array for teleportation gradually lit up beneath his feet.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp sword flew out of nowhere.

Daxier dodged instinctively, and the Magic Array disappeared.

Then, the door was kicked open.

Wu Heng, accompanied by a skeleton attendant, stepped in vigorously.

…

Daxier, with a severed arm and covered in blood, looked disheveled.

Seeing Wu Heng walk in, he said with a bitter smile, “I miscalculated your abilities.”

“I'm curious, what were you thinking? You didn't want to be the City Lord anymore, so you killed members of the association?” Wu Heng asked him.

Ever since the local Steward's death, he had suspected the City Lord.

Like Philippa had analyzed, whoever could clean up the scene easiest was either the culprit or an accomplice.

The only thing the headquarters couldn't be sure of was that no one would be foolish enough to take a hard stand against the association using everything they had.

“If you saw things from my perspective, you'd realize this was the only path left,” Daxier said with a bitter smile.

“Maybe so. Brittany was sure you wouldn't do this. It looks like she was wrong,” Wu Heng nodded.

“The Fifth Princess? She's the smartest in the Royal Family but views things too idealistically, like an overprotected child. Still, I'm glad to hear she's alive,” Daxier added and then said, “Can I live if I surrender? I pose no threat to you now, I can cooperate with you.”

Wu Heng glanced at his severed arm and shook his head, “No, I need your head to quell the chaos outside.”

“So, it's down to who can survive,” Daxier's gaze sharpened suddenly, and with his remaining hand, he drew a short sword.

Wu Heng looked sideways and said, “Kill him, but don't ruin his appearance.”

“Arrogant!” Daxier shouted and charged.

Kai Xiu also transformed into a streak of light and charged forward.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of his opponent, and with a single punch, he smashed his throat.

Daxier's body flew backward, slid down the wall, his eyes widened, and his body slowly slumped down.

“Wrap it up.”

The skeleton took down a tapestry nearby, wrapped up the body, and stored it in the Space Ring.

Wu Heng entered the main hall, [Corpse Battlefield] was released again, and several skeletons stood up around.

“Follow me.”

Together, they walked quickly towards the outside.

…

In a part of the city.

The wind howled, and the sound of the clash was deafening.

Elder Tapani held a sword in one hand, his eyes sharp, his sword as agile as a silver snake, constantly attacking from fast and tricky angles.

Opposite him stood a burly, bearded Fist Master.

His steps were steady, his fists flowed continuously, each fist thrown like an erupting volcano, accompanied by thundering booms and spewing flames.

The two fought, the surrounding trees snapped at their trunks, the ground and nearby walls left with cobweb-like indentations and slashes from the sword.

“The Elf Race is favored, given ample time to refine their swordsmanship,” the Fist Master said, stepping back to briefly distance himself.

“It's not your place to judge me,” Tapani said coldly.

“Your people are about to be wiped out, aren't you worried? When only you are left, you won't be able to escape either,” the Fist Master, hands behind him, appeared relaxed.

Tapani also forced a smile, “The Five Leaders personally chose the investigation team, do you think you can survive? Even if you wanted to hide like a turtle, you couldn't escape the Leaders' investigation.”

“Ha! I dare to kill you all, you think these threats scare me? The only thing I'm leaving you with is a dead end…”

He suddenly looked forward.

In the building position of the Central District, clouds of dust billowed.

How did they find that place!

…

In an alley warfare zone.

Rows of bowstrings sounded clear.

The army, finding it difficult to break through the front, began to encircle, using long-range combat to deplete the association's manpower.

Arrows rained down pitifully, and the association's personnel were in disarray.

And outside the association, bodies were already piled up into a small hill.

Veteran Mage Gianvito, showing the terrifying strength of a level 18 Mage, still struggled to hold back such a massive assault.

Wind, thunder, and flames were released simultaneously.

Massively targeting to kill.

Similarly, the continuous casting also made his face increasingly pale and his expression wan.

“Protect the Priest, treat the wounded,” Gianvito said, his beard disheveled, looking back.

He looked up, drank an Elixir, and waved his Magic Wand.

A fierce wind rose, scattering much of the raining arrows.

The Priest reached into his cloak, pulled out a Jade Talisman, and crushed it fiercely.

The next second, holy light descended from the sky, and the sound of a choir singing rose.

The wounded's injuries healed, and the combatants' strength rapidly recovered.

Under the Holy Light, some of the carrion attendants transformed by Wu Heng emitted pained howls and disintegrated into wisps of ash under the light.

“Damn it, keep those Necromancy creatures away from the Holy Light.”
