Chapter 279: Chapter 232, damn, what is this. _1

Inside the carriage.

Necromancer ‘Giovanni’ was holding a white handkerchief, repeatedly wiping his hands, and said, “Didn’t you want two special items? How come you settled for one?”

Sitting opposite him, ‘Benasev’ was checking the wooden staff.

Looking up, he said, “He would definitely hand this special item to the association, even if the association gives him nothing in return, by then taking it back would be difficult.”

“You always vacillate when you work, making things so complicated.”

“If I had your achievements, I would have slapped him to death with a single palm.” Benasev put away the staff and continued to ask, “Just now, did you really intend to take him as a disciple?”

“He does have some talent in necromancy. If he agrees, I would keep him by my side and teach him some knowledge.” Giovanni’s tone paused for a while, “But if he doesn’t want to, that’s okay, a corpse is more obedient than an apprentice.”

Benasev nodded, he also did not want ‘Giovanni’ to take the other party as his disciple.

It would still make things complicated.

Their resentment for each other would not be eliminated either.

Continuing to ask, “Will your appearance in front of him this time affect the following actions? He is quite vigilant.”

“How could killing a small squad leader with some talent who is only around Level 8 cause any impact.” Giovanni was indifferent.

Benasev wanted to say something.

But he held back his words at the last moment.

Judging from the current situation, Giovanni had no problem killing Wu Heng.

The carriage cabin quieted down once again.

The carriage creaked on.

Getting farther and farther from Lundham City, after passing through the dense forest, a mansion appeared ahead.

The carriage sped up again, directly entering the mansion.

…

At the general store.

Mini served tea, Wu Heng sat next to her, deep in thought.

A Level 16 Necromancer, a whole rank higher than himself.

A practitioner of this level anywhere would be considered a powerhouse, but he showed up in such a small place.

From the previous encounter.

Two of his abilities could be confirmed, one is the use of a ghost, taking possession of Wen Mansha’s body.

The other is the four undead minions that followed the carriage.

As a Level 16 Necromancer, the skeletons should also be all around Level 15.

“Five Level 4 professionals, isn’t this bullying!”

With such a setup, it was like advanced players returning to the newbie village to bully people in a place like Lundham City.

Downgrading the attack.

It was quite difficult to handle.

While fighting with others, he didn’t feel much.

When he faced the Necromancer, he only felt that this profession was really disgusting.

The Yeko Kingdom’s constitution restricting Necromancers was reasonable!

“Master, shall we leave for a while?” Wen Mansha said softly after her expression softened somewhat.

Compared to the oblivious Mini, she understood what a level 16 Necromancer represented.

If it weren’t for today being in the city.

The other party might have simply attacked and killed both Wu Heng and herself on the spot.

Necromancers, a profession dealing with the dead, are experts in both killing and disposing of bodies.

Although he hasn’t attacked yet, it will eventually get dark.

It’s only a matter of time before the other party takes action.

Instead of worrying about it, it’s better to leave first and come back after a while.

Or maybe never come back at all.

Wu Heng understood her concerns and comforted her softly, “Don’t worry, it’s not time to leave yet.”

He still had quite a few trumps up his sleeve.

If it really came to fighting, he might not necessarily be afraid of him.

Clatter, clatter, clatter~!

Urgent footsteps sounded.

A ranger from Pinned Gang ran up from the staircase.

“Captain, sister-in-law, that carriage has entered the mansion on the east side outside the city.” The ranger said, panting.

Wen Mansha asked, “Did they discover you?”

“They might have noticed that the few guards around the carriage seemed to want to approach us, but we kept a considerable distance and no one was injured.” The ranger continued.

“You’re saying they went into the mansion?” Wu Heng took over the conversation.

“Yes.”

“What’s the situation in the mansion?”

“The tamed beast just glanced over it roughly, it seems like they’re holding a banquet, there are quite a few nobles in the courtyard.” The ranger contemplated for a moment and responded.

“And the guards?”

“Guards, at least hundreds of them.”

Wu Heng did not continue asking, he sat on the side and pondered over it.

Then he said to the ranger: “Alright, your task is complete, you can go back to rest.”

The ranger glanced at Wen Mansha, and seeing that she blinked in approval.

He saluted and stepped down.

When his footsteps were far away.

Wen Mansha asked “Master, what should we do?”

“We’ll go to the mansion, and attack first.”

Wen Mansha’s eyes narrowed, but she nodded anyway, “Alright.”

…

Outside the city, at the mansion on the east side.

Behind the mansion was a large field of medicinal herbs, supplying the pharmacies in the city.

The Secret Cultivation Hall purchased this mansion a long time ago, using it as a secret gathering place outside the city.

It served as a venue for meetings and initiation ceremonies.

However, due to the Hammer Party situation, this place was abandoned for some time.

It wasn’t until today that it was put back into use and people were gathered here.

In the mansion, there were numerous nobles dressed elegantly, exuding extraordinary momentum.

Like a grand social gathering.

People were chatting with each other, it was quite lively.

Nearing midday.

Benasev came out from the stone fortress inside, looked at the crowd in the courtyard, and smiled, “Brothers and sisters, good afternoon!”

He then lifted his hands over his head in a weird gesture.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Benasev!” Everyone said in unison, also lifting their hands above their heads.

Benasev nodded contentedly and continued, “Let me introduce to you, ‘Giovanni’, a Level-16 Mage, who will help us kill Wu Heng and take over Lundham City.

The crowd was taken aback at first, then joy lit up their faces.

A Level-16 Mage taking on a small team leader from the association was simply overkill.

That brat is finally going to die.

After Wu Heng killed ‘Lu Anjian’ many became apprehensive.

Fearing that their information would somehow be acquired by the other party, and they too would be in danger.

Now, it seemed that the brat’s end was nearing.

“With Mr. Giovanni in action, that brat won’t live long.”

“He’ll finally die. He owns half the city, my business has suffered a lot.”

“Kill him quickly. I am willing to present Mr. Giovanni with a great gift.”

“Me too.”

The crowd got louder and the atmosphere was more lively.

The arrival of Wu Heng completely disrupted the status quo of Lundham City.

Especially in the east and north districts. They all feared Wu Heng because if he found out about their shops in these districts, they’d shut them all down and got rid of the property deeds as soon as possible.

Each person had lost a lot of money.

Naturally, they wanted to see Wu Heng meet his end here.

…

Giovanni, standing at the back, was somewhat satisfied with the people’s reaction.

He even enjoyed it to an extent.

Solving this matter and staying here to be an overlord was also a good choice.

Complete power and a constant supply of experimental subjects.

When he thought of these, his heart heated with excitement.

It was finally his turn after Benasev’s loud introduction.

He straightened his collar, took two elegant steps forward as befits a Mage.

He arrived at the front of the staircase.

He cleared his throat and was about to speak when his heart suddenly contracted, a sense of danger surged within him.

The next second, his protective item appeared and shattered, and his left shoulder was pierced in an instant.

Blood and flesh splattered. Then, the sound of a bullet tearing through the air came.

Giovanni’s expression drastically changed.

He immediately dragged the arm that was connected by a bit of flesh and hid behind the Iron Armored Servant beside him.

Clank! Clank!

Two more bullets struck, hitting the servant’s armor.

The armor was punctured, and the servant was forced to retreat.

Suddenly, there was the sound of heavy items falling from the sky.

Everyone looked up to see strange objects falling from the sky.

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant, explosions covered the entire yard. Smoke rose and filled the yard.

Limb debris, splinters, and stones flew in all directions.

Panic-stricken screams whipped into a frenzy.

Dressed in formal attire, a graceful lady of high society squatted in place, screaming loudly as dust fell from the sky, covering her body.

Two guards rushed over.

Just as they were about to pick her up to escape, the ground next to them exploded, instantly blowing the three of them to pieces.

Benasev crawled into the stone fortress behind him. When he looked up, he saw the Necromancer ‘Giovanni’ also hiding there, chugging potions.

Of the four undead servants that were originally by his side, only one was left, and it was missing an arm. Its chest plate was covered in rocks and dents from the impacts. The other servants had been blown to pieces in the initial explosions.

“What, what kind of magic is this?” Benasev spat out the sand in his mouth and asked.

Giovanni threw the potion bottle aside and cursed, “It’s not magic, damn it!”

He hadn’t expected to encounter such a situation in what he thought was a minor place.

…

The explosion came suddenly, and it ended quickly too.

After the brief bombardment.

The entire scene was in ruins.

Smoke was still lingering above the manor, and wails echoed throughout the area.

Before the dust settled.

Whiz~!

An odd-looking three-wheeled vehicle, operated by a skeleton, stopped outside the gates of the manor.

Two weird, pitch-black things were on top of the carriage.

In the midst of the smoke, they turned their direction towards the inside.

The next second~!

Boom, boom, boom~!

The muzzle spewed tongues of fire, and a barrage of bullets began to sweep towards the inside of the manor.

Body parts, blood splatters, chunks of flesh, along with stones flew everywhere.

None of the corpses were intact.

Even ones in iron armor had been turned into sludge.

Then, the machine gun began to fire at the stone fortress in the center.

The door shattered like paper being torn apart. Under the dense attack of bullets, it turned ino countless pieces.

The walls and interior decorations crumbled like fragile pottery, causing dust to scatter.

The intensive gunfire drowned the entire area.

Underneath it, the three-wheeled vehicle was violently shaking with the firing, making clattering noises.
