Chapter 881: Chapter 710, Appointing an Inspector Chapter 881: Chapter 710, Appointing an Inspector “Don't look yet, the previous chapter was blocked.”
Bang bang bang~!
Following that, all the gun barrels poking through the shield gaps spat out flames, and bullets heavily pelted towards the front.
The human army charging at the very front was instantly enveloped by bullets and fell backward in droves.
The skeletons continued to step forward, holding submachine guns, advancing while firing.
And with the advancement of the skeletons, the entire battle line began to shift.
The sky that had been clear turned dark and lightless.
The Skeleton Army advanced through the gun smoke, their eye sockets flickering with pale blue Soul Fire, holding devices spitting flames, like demons harvesting human lives from hell.
The two sides hadn't even engaged in close combat yet, but the humans had already suffered heavy losses.
Unable to approach, they could only watch as one after another fell.
More people, their faces filled with terror, turned around and fled back.
From behind, orders to retreat were issued.
The already chaotic military force instantly disintegrated, everyone dropping their helmets and armors, not looking back as they fled.
Leaving behind a ground full of corpses and discarded weapons.
And fleeing soldiers tumbling and scrambling.
The gunfire stopped.
Woo~!
The dull sound of the horn rose again.
Tap tap tap~!
Countless running sounds sprung up from both sides of the battle zone.
“For the tribe, for the Lundham City Alliance!”
A Beastman standing four meters tall, with dark green skin and huge tusks, raised his Battle Axe high and roared loudly.
“For the tribe, for the alliance!”
Majestic falcons swooped overhead.
Behind them were numerous robust Beastmen wielding Battle Axes and Warhammers, loudly shouting while emerging from both sides of the forest to pounce on the fleeing Yeko Kingdom soldiers.
The Beastmen, stronger in close combat, charged relentlessly.
The enemy, now fleeing in panic, devoid of any will to fight, suited their style better.
The Yeko army was helpless to respond.
Behind the Beastmen.
The old shaman, holding a wooden staff, kept his eyes on the battlefield below.
Behind him stood other tribal leaders or top-tier members.
“Shaman sir, what kind of weapons are those? They're way too exaggerated!”
“These devices, I've seen them on the skeletons in the city, but it's my first time seeing them used. If we could buy some, we could achieve this kind of combat power too.”
“They're probably props from the association; I doubt they would sell them to outsiders.”
“Next time, be careful when speaking; don't make Lady Wen Mansha angry.”
The old shaman turned to look at several Beastman chieftains.
He said, “These are Wu Heng's weapons; as far as we know, only he possesses the blueprints and methods for making them. I just didn't expect that so many had been produced already.”
In his memory, Wu Heng had used these weapons to deal with the Hammer Party and the former City Lord 'Ereno' and his army.
But the numbers had definitely not been this large back then.
Enough to equip dozens of people.
And now it seemed, Lundham City had just as many, and he would only have more.
“If Lundham City has so many weapons, why do they still need to ally with us against Yeko Kingdom?” a Beastman asked.
The old shaman turned to look at him and said, “Wen Mansha has had a child and has become even more cautious. She surely doesn't want to face any danger from behind when confronting the enemy.”
“She's guarding against us? We could also let our tribes send troops now, taking the opportunity to attack Lundham City while it's vulnerable,” another Beastman suggested.
The old shaman glared at him, “Use your foolish brain; our main force is here, the rest won't scare Wen Mansha enough for an attack.”
He paused, then continued, “Next time you talk about disrupting the unity like this, you can go back to the tribe and leave the alliance.”
“I was just blabbering; it won't happen again,” the Beastman immediately admitted his mistake.
The old shaman then instructed, “Let our tribespeople behave in the city and maintain good relations with Lundham City, it's beneficial for us.”
“Understood!” the Beastmen answered.
Netalee City.
During the day, Wu Heng and Li Yahong visited the pharmaceutical factory and also left the Alchemy Skeleton there.
In the afternoon, they returned to the downtown shopping center, where Wu Heng entrusted the remaining tasks to Li Yahong and returned to the City Lord's Mansion through the boundary door.
The rest depended on when the Alchemy Skeleton would learn to manufacture tablets.
By then, it should also become a new product of Gold and Silver Island.
Exiting the boundary door, he released three Ghosts to roam freely, changed his clothes, and washed up briefly.
When he returned to his seat, his gaze fell on a notebook belonging to a Skeleton Investigator at the side.
His eyebrows slightly raised, there was a record on it, a message left by Lady Wen Mansha.
Picking up the radio microphone, “Lady Wen Mansha, can you hear me?”
Soon, Wen Mansha's voice came through, “Master, I can hear you.”
“I've seen your message, what happened?” Wu Heng asked.
There was a moment of contemplation on the other end, then she continued, “The army of Lundham City has engaged in combat with the army of the Yeko Kingdom…”
Wu Heng's brow instantly furrowed, it had really escalated to a fight.
“How is it?”
He asked this verbally, but from her tone, he could guess some of the outcomes.
Wen Mansha said with a laugh, “The news from the front lines is that the Skeletons suffered no casualties; the Beastman Alliance Army had some injured, some of whom tumbled down a slope in a downhill charge and couldn't stop.”
“That's good news then!”
“Of course it's good news,” Wen Mansha said, laughing.
Wu Heng then asked, “After the victory, how was it handled?”
“The Skeleton Army is still advancing, and in about a day's time, they will reach the border of the Yeko Kingdom,” Wen Mansha reported, then asked, “Master, do you have any instructions?”
Wu Heng pondered for a moment, “I'm not aware of the situation on your side, just make decisions based on the circumstances there, mainly ensure your and your daughter's safety, don't overreach.”
“Don't worry, I haven't gone out at all, the City Lord's Mansion is now surrounded, and it's secure,” Wen Mansha reassured with a laugh.
“That's good to hear,” Wu Heng calculated the time in his mind, “Once I'm done here, I'll come over to check on you.”
The orders from headquarters were expected in a few days.
It sounded like Wen Mansha was at an advantage, so a day or two wouldn't make much difference.
“No need, if there's any danger, I'll inform you.”
“That works.”
Then, Wen Mansha went on to introduce the situation of the Beastman Alliance, and the initial plans had already been implemented.
The whole of Lundham City and the Beastman tribe were tightly bound together.
Once this battle was over, people would be sent to the Beastman tribe to promote the newspapers and stories of the Great Detective Wu Heng.
To gather prestige.
After talking for a while, Philippa knocked loudly on the door, calling him to eat.
He said a word to Wen Mansha.
He hung up the communication and went downstairs to eat.
The next morning.
Wu Heng, accompanied by a skeleton attendant, entered the hall of the association.
He knocked lightly on the office door and, upon receiving a response, opened the door and walked in.
Elder Tapani was still sitting behind the desk.
“Elder, did you want to see me?” Wu Heng asked.
Tapani nodded, “The association's directives have arrived, commending our recent operations and rewarding them; there will also be an investigation into the Yeko Kingdom.”
A gleam flashed in Wu Heng's eyes, finally, it had arrived.
Actually, it was only a few days off. Just yesterday he was wondering why there was no news from headquarters, and today it had already been delivered.
“What did they say?” Wu Heng continued to inquire.
Tapani took an appointment letter from the side and handed it to him, saying, “Jade Sea Flag Bearer Wu Heng, for your outstanding performance and irreplaceable role in the Netalee City case investigation, you are hereby awarded a first-class merit, appointed as an Inspector of the association, with authority to oversee various places.”
