The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 203: Chapter 177 – Refusing to Quit Until Death (First update, wasn’t able to finish writing.)_3

The reason Wu Heng didn’t kill directly was because he truly wasn’t sure which were his allies and which were his enemies.

Although he believed that the crowd with scattered equipment were Wen Mansha’s subordinates, he couldn’t be entirely certain.

Shooting their legs, at least, would further provide identifiable information.

At that moment, Wen Mansha poked her head out from the second floor window and shouted, “Chief…, captain, those people are enemies.”

She pointed towards several people with excellent equipment.

Wu Heng confirmed the targets, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Gunfire rang out consecutively, instantly piercing through several bodies.

Before they could react, he had killed them outright.

“Bawudong, charge in!” Wu Heng ordered.

Bawudong took the lead and charged in.

Meanwhile, the people inside the room, seeing things go awry, had no intention of sticking around. They broke through a window on the other side and began to flee swiftly into the distance.

One of them, glancing sideways, had a familiar face.

“Don’t chase them. Go check upstairs to make sure there are no other enemies,” Wu Heng said.

Just as Bawudong was about to rush upstairs, he saw Wen Mansha and Jianyi coming down.

Jian’er and Nuyi had not come down.

“Master!”

Mini immediately threw herself into his arms, sobbing softly.

Wen Mansha, however, was much calmer, whispering, “The other side was well-prepared, they’re all masters. We barely managed to hold them off till now.”

“You worked hard,” Wu Heng said.

Wen Mansha pulled the sobbing Bunny Girl away and handed her to Andre Willow, then continued asking: “What do we do next? It looks like you’re being targeted.”

“Get your people to help clean up the scene. Bring the bodies in here and set up a perimeter,” Wu Heng said directly.

The local guards it seemed, couldn’t be relied upon.

At present, Wen Mansha’s gang members were still the most reliable.

Wen Mansha quickly gave her subordinates several orders.

The door to the room was closed, and as the gang members helped their injured colleagues, they began to fortify the building.

‘Glenda’, who had been stalking them, soon flew back and entered his body.

The location where the enemies had fled to appeared before his eyes.

As he had expected, it was Gianluca’s residence, the headquarters of the Sky Eye Cultivation Association. This was also where the old man who had tried to bribe him with money and a woman at the bar lived.

“How is it?” Wen Mansha asked.

Wu Heng nodded. “I know who’s behind it now.”

“Who?”

“Gianluca.”

“Him? Why?” Wen Mansha was surprised.

Murdering an association captain was no small matter.

The local noble shouldn’t be making enemies, but making allies instead. Why would he do this?

Since she didn’t know about the Secret Cultivation Hall, she couldn’t understand the purpose behind all these actions.

Wu Heng sat down on the couch and after a moment of thought, said, “I’ll handle the Inner City Area business. You have other tasks tonight.”

“What task?”

“Take your people and destroy the White Wolf Gang. By tomorrow morning, I want to hear about their demise.”

Now that he thought about it, everything seemed clear.

The White Wolf Gang was also trying to delay him. Even if they were held accountable after the fact, they had a legitimate excuse.

But Wu Heng didn’t want to squabble with them anymore.

The inaction of the Iron Guard Knights made him feel threatened — the danger of a coalition plotting against him.

He needed to eliminate this nuisance as quickly as possible, even if it made the aftermath hard to sort out.

The corners of Wen Mansha’s eyes narrowed a little.

She didn’t know how the White Wolf Gang became involved.

But it wasn’t surprising that the Inner City Area would support a gang in the Outer City Area.

The White Wolf Gang must’ve been involved in some way.

After a moment’s though, she still said, “The White Wolf Gang is a big gang, it will be difficult for us to take them out. If we go to war, we would be the ones being wiped out.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange help for you.”

Wen Mansha hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”

…

The night gradually deepened.

At a manor within the Inner City Area.

Gianluca sat on the sofa, disappointment flashing in his eyes. “You failed again. How did you become the captain when you couldn’t even capture two servants?”

As Anel was packing, he said, “What could we do? A bunch of gang members rushed out and slowed down progress. Besides, he returned too quickly. It’s not like you said.”

“You didn’t leave any traces, did you?”

Anel looked up at him. “You don’t trust me, do you? Or are you planning to kill me after I’ve served my purpose, to erase any evidence?”

“Hahaha!” Gianluca laughed aloud. “You’re overthinking it. I am a man of my word. When I promise to help you escape, I won’t go back on my word.”

After a brief pause he continued, “Even if he does find out it was us, without substantial evidence, what do I have to fear?”

Anel just smiled and put his packed belongings aside.

“So, do you plan to continue going after him?”

“At this point, there’s no turning back. I’ll arrange a riot in the next few days and have him killed directly,” Gianluca said.

“This is how you should’ve acted from the start — not probing him again and again, making him more and more wary,” Anel said.

“Who could’ve imagined that a newly appointed junior captain would be so difficult to deal with?” Gianluca put the wine glass aside, his charming maid, politely refilled it for him.

“If you succeed, remember to write me a letter. I want to celebrate too.”

“Yes, I will.”

The two clinked glasses.

It was their last drink before parting.

Anel walked to the window and looking into the blurry night, he said, “If it’s hard to deal with him here, you can go to Black Stone Town, they have him…”

Crash~!

Before he could finish his sentence, the glass in front of him suddenly shattered, followed by a ‘puff’ sound. A bloody hole was instantly pierced through Anel’s head.

His body fell backwards, warm and sticky blood splashing everywhere.
