Chapter 733, Enemies outside the city (first update, 5,000 words.)
The warrior came with a shield.
The skeleton knight pulled the reins, and the skeleton horse took a sharp step forward, barely avoiding the impact from the side.
But several people rushed out one after another, blocking the road ahead.
The skeleton knight''s empty eyes looked at the shield-wielding warrior behind him, and then at the people blocking the way in front.
Slowly he drew out the long sword from his waist.
The skeleton horse kept tapping its hooves on the spot, ready to charge.
In the distance, Wu Heng saw the skeleton knight avoiding the side impact.
Said: "Control them."
The three ghosts flew out directly and rushed towards the people blocking the road.
When the ghost entered the body, the team, who was ready for battle, suddenly stiffened.
There was fear in his eyes.
One person threw the weapon aside and smashed his fist into his nose.
Click~!
The bridge of the nose was deformed and blood spurted out.
The other person suddenly turned around, faced his companion next to him, and kicked him in the crotch.
The soldier holding the shield threw away his shield and hit the tree next to him while shouting in terror.
The skeleton knight, who was ready for battle, looked at the enemy who suddenly became confused.
The skull tilted.
With a flick of the reins, the skeleton horse jumped over several people and flew away.
…
Wu Heng came over with his skeleton attendants.
The few people who were troubled by the ghost looked at the three figures who suddenly appeared warily.
"Did you do it?" The soldier with a **** head stared at Wu Heng.
"Tie them up." Wu Heng said behind him.
"You are looking for death!" The thief at the front jumped up instantly, holding two daggers in his hands.
Bang~!
When the person was in the air, he was kicked in the abdomen by Kaxiu and flew four to five meters away.
Vomiting bile and blood.
The rest of the people were also surprised, including the high-level professionals.
"Sir, there is some misunderstanding. We were just passing by."
Wu Heng was too lazy to listen to their explanation, "Tie them up and break their limbs dishonestly."
Kaxiu and Kerimu quickly stepped forward. In the hands of the two skeletons, the five people who were already injured had no ability to resist.
They were **** into a ball.
Wu Heng casually opened the [Mansion Technique], "Push them in, and you stay inside and watch them. Don''t damage the equipment."
Seeing a space crack suddenly open, the eyes of the five people widened instantly.
Even if you have no experience, you still know that this is definitely not an ability that ordinary professionals can unleash.
It’s over, I’m in trouble this time.
"My lord, please spare my life."
"We want to grab something and go to the city lord''s mansion to exchange for some wine money."
"Wrong, give me a chance."
"No, no, I don''t want to go in..."
Among the five people, four shouted for mercy and the other was vomiting blood.
The two skeletons carried several people and went directly to a corner of the mansion, putting some distance between them and the electromagnetic gun equipment.
After everyone goes in, turn off the mansion technique directly.
The cries and pleas for mercy disappeared, and everything was quiet.
"Uncle, they don''t look very smart." Xiaoxiao said from the side.
"Maybe they are from local gangs, there are few who are illiterate." Wu Heng said.
Glenda asked from the side: "Aren''t you going to ask them about their purpose?"
"Let Mansha Wen ask after we get back. She is responsible for the Skeleton Army. She can also arrange a new delivery route by asking in person." Wu Heng said.
"That''s right." Glenda nodded.
Wu Heng took out the motorcycle from the space ring.
After sitting on it, he galloped towards Luntam City.
The three ghosts also flew quickly.
Flying and chatting at the same time.
Soon we approached the outer area of ??the city.
Wu Heng put away his motorcycle, put on his hood, blended into the crowd and walked straight in.
When we arrived at the city wall in the outer area of ??the city, the search began to become stricter.
Everyone entering and leaving must identify themselves. Residents of the city, or foreign caravans, Wu Heng has the emblem of the association, and they can easily pass in.
The search was quite strict.
After all, it was time to fight with Luntam City, so as not to be in any danger.
Wuheng walked all the way into the inner city.
There weren''t many changes in the city, and people didn''t feel nervous about fighting.
Arriving at the City Lord''s Mansion, I walked in.
…
"Master, you are back!"
The housekeeper ''Harter'' was wearing a black housekeeper''s uniform, pushing up the frames of her glasses, and walked over quickly.
"Where''s Wen Mansha?" Wu Heng asked directly.
"Madam is in the lobby. The Skeleton Knight has just sent information." Hartle said.
"Is there anyone else?" Wu Heng walked into the building from a side door.
Hartel stepped forward, helped him take off his coat, and hung it aside. "No, it''s just Madam herself. We haven''t summoned other commanders yet."
"Take me there. I also saw this skeleton knight on the way." Wu Heng said.
"Master, please come this way."
Harter took him directly to the hall and saw Wen Mansha sitting on the city lord''s throne, with the skeleton knight he just saw below.
Hearing the footsteps, Wen Mansha turned back in confusion.
Seeing Wu Heng walking in, his eyes flashed with surprise, "Master."
Mansha Wen is in good condition and seems to be recovering well after giving birth, with a rosy complexion.
Wearing a beige embroidered long skirt, she looks like a lady enjoying her time.
"What news was sent?" Wu Heng asked.
"Two pieces of news. The skeleton army met an enemy group that planned to take a detour and killed all of them. However, it is not ruled out that a small team will detour and attack Luntam City."
"The second news is that the skeleton army is about to arrive at Fortress Seted. Some scattered intelligence indicates that the army of the Kingdom of Yeko is likely to gather there, waiting for a decisive battle with the skeleton army." Wen Mansha said slowly With.
The number of enemies that have been bypassed is limited, so it is actually difficult to threaten Luntam City.
There should be more assassinations targeting leaders.
He happened to be in Luntam City, so he wasn''t worried about Wen Mansha''s safety.
The second point is the Seted Fortress, where the forces of the Kingdom of Yeko are being assembled for a decisive battle with the skeletons.
In other words, the previous retreat of the kingdom''s army was not a blind escape, but an adjustment and gathering of troops, intending to use this fortress as the decisive battle point.
Stop the skeleton army.
"Can this fortress stop the skeleton army?" Wu Heng asked.
Wenman pulled him and sat down together on the city lord''s seat, saying: "Setted is the name of a person. In the early days, the kingdom was at war with the orc tribe. At that time, the orcs launched a massive attack. It was the general Seted who led the human race. Defeating the orcs with this fortress established the current dividing line.”
"Later on, this fortress was named the Seted Fortress. For the people of the Kingdom of Yeko, this fortress also represented a will that could repel the orcs and the undead. Of course, it was indeed a will. It’s an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack position.”
The army of skeletons moved downwards, and humans were retreating steadily.
Really need a reason to revive the decline.
"I understand." Wu Heng nodded.
"Master, didn''t you hear about this fortress when you were in Blackstone Town?" Wen Mansha asked with a smile.
"No one told me, and I''m a necromancer, so I''m not very popular there." Wu Heng said helplessly.
In Blackstone Town, I have only been a member for more than a month.
Not to mention this fortress, I came out of Blackstone Town without even understanding it.
What''s more, at that time in Blackstone Town, I was also the object of attention, so who would mention this matter to me.
Wen Mansha thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any plans?"
"Just continue as planned. I''m mainly here to bring you ammunition." Wu Heng said directly.
Wen Mansha nodded, "Hatter, go get the letter paper."
The housekeeper brought the letter paper, and Wen Mansha wrote down the next plan.
The main thing is to stabilize the currently occupied city first, and then consider attacking the ''Thetted Fortress'' after supplies and ammunition are delivered.
"Is that okay?" Wen Mansha looked at Wu Heng.
"I have no objection. I don''t know much about fighting, so you can make arrangements." Wu Heng continued, "By the way, I came here just now and saw a team intercepting the skeleton knights who were delivering letters. Isn''t there something wrong with the delivery of letters along the way? Danger."
"What''s going on? Where is it?" Wen Mansha''s expression immediately became serious.
Wu Heng immediately told what happened when he first arrived, "I have brought those five people back, and you will interrogate them then."
"Where are the people?" Wen Mansha asked.
Wu Heng stepped down from the high platform and opened the [Mansion Technique], revealing two skeletons and five **** figures, "Bring them out."
The five people were dragged out by the skeleton.
He collapsed on the ground and looked at his surroundings in horror. When he saw Wen Mansha, he looked up and down specifically.
A sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Wen Mansha said: "Don''t rush to deliver the letter yet, take these people under custody and I will interrogate them later."
The housekeeper waved, and several skeletons guarding the room came in and walked out with a few people on the ground.
In the hall, there were two people left again.
"Where''s my daughter?"
"I''m taking a nap upstairs. I''ll take you to have a look." Wen Mansha smiled and led him upstairs.
The two walked into the room quietly and saw the child in the crib.
And in the room, there were four skeleton hags standing by.
"Slept well."
"So many skeletons coax her to play every day, and she will sleep when she is tired from playing. It must be delicious." Wen Mansha said in a low voice. "Aren''t you afraid of skeletons?"
"Follow dad, don''t be afraid at all." Wen Mansha said with a smile.
"I was a little scared before, but I''m not scared anymore."
"That daughter is braver than her father."
Wu Heng smiled and nodded, and kissed the child''s fair face gently, "Let''s go, don''t disturb her rest."
Wen Mansha nodded and told the skeleton standing next to her.
The two walked out of the room again.
"Master, I''m going to interrogate those people. Give me the ammunition you brought later. Arrange the time and I''ll have someone send it out."
Standing in the corridor, Wen Mansha said.
"I''ll go to the radio room to say hello to Minnie and the others, and then I''ll go find you." Wu Heng said.
Wen Mansha nodded and hurried downstairs.
Wu Heng went to the room where the radio station was played.
…
Mansha Wen''s radio station is placed in the room next to the bedroom.
Wu Heng walked in, asked the skeleton standing beside him to get up, and sat in his original position.
Picked up the phone and said, "Go get Minnie over."
Not long after, Minnie''s voice came from the other side, "Sister Wen Mansha?"
"It''s me!"
"Master, are you over there!" Minnie''s voice also sounded much higher.
"We''re here, is there nothing going on at Treasure Island?" Wu Heng asked.
The journey is so long that it takes several days each time.
After coming out, I was still a little worried about the safety of Treasure Island.
"Nothing happened. Philippa took the artificers on the island to the city of Netale. The day before yesterday, the movie theater on the island showed it to the public, and the whole island started a new topic. It was very lively." Minnie said with a smile.
"There''s no problem with safety, right?"
"It''s okay. Deacon Sheilagui is in charge. He came over yesterday to have afternoon tea with us."
After he became close to Sheila Gui, he also began to interact with several maids in the island master''s mansion.
This is a good thing.
Wu Heng also hopes that their relationship can be better.
"It''s okay." Wu Heng said.
"Okay, Master." Minnie agreed, and then said, "Master, there is a new movie over there that has been translated. Can we watch it first?"
"Look, call Sheila Rose and McIntosh."
"Okay." Minnie said excitedly.
The cheers of Robert and Annette also came from behind.
"Okay, let me know if anything happens, and I''ll get busy first."
"Goodbye, Master."
After hanging up the communication, Wu Heng called the ghost back again.
Went to the zombie world.
I heard Li Yahong report the situation here.
Nothing important happened during the few days I left.
The skeletons to be trained have been sent to the main station, and the process of making alchemy potions into pills is still in progress, but there is no result yet.
All in all, nothing much has changed.
Wu Heng sat with Li Yahong for a while and then returned to the other world.
…
Come down from upstairs.
Wen Mansha was sitting in the hall breastfeeding her child.
Seeing Wu Heng come down, he took out the other side and raised his eyebrows.
"No, thank you." Wu Heng declined, sat down and teased the child, and then asked, "How was the interrogation?"
"I''m not a gang member in the city. I need you to ask the corpse later to make sure." Wen Mansha said softly.
"What''s going on?"
"Hatter, let''s talk." Wen Mansha gently caressed the child.
Hartle, the housekeeper on the side, said: "The five people were interrogated separately, and the final conclusion was that they were active soldiers of the Kingdom of Yeko. Their mission this time was to intercept the skeleton horse delivering the letter and confirm the content of the letter. "
He is really a member of the Kingdom of Yeke.
"How did they determine the time and route of the Skeleton Knight?"
The housekeeper continued, "According to what they said, they calculated the time for these two days and stayed nearby."
I recall what I saw when I saw these people.
It was indeed running from a distance.
The warrior hit the horse with his shield, which was also a little hasty.
"Where are these people now?"
The housekeeper glanced at Mansha Wen and replied, "Dead."
"Let''s ask the corpse later!" Wu Heng nodded.
Soon, the baby spit out the pacifier and burped.
Wen Mansha handed her to the skeleton hag beside her, "Coax her to play for a while and then let her sleep."
The hag immediately cast a spell, and her appearance immediately changed into that of Wen Mansha. She took the child and wandered around gently.
Apparition!
The skills retained by the Skeleton Hag.
Illusion is an illusion-like ability that high-level professionals can see through, but it can only take the form of a woman.
The hag picked up the child and walked upstairs while gently wandering around.
What a good idea.
A natural confinement nanny.
Wu Heng followed Wen Mansha and walked outside together.
…
dungeon.
Then he saw five corpses that had been covered with straw mats.
Compared to a normal interrogation, I feel that it would be more humane to kill and interrogate the corpse.
"Think about what you want to ask, and just ask directly when the time comes." Wu Heng said.
"good."
Wu Heng released [Conversation with the Dead], and the first corpse suddenly sat up, and the straw mat on his body fell aside.
Wu Heng took half a step back and signaled to Wen Mansha that it was okay.
Wen Mansha asked directly: "What is your true identity?"
The corpse replied, "Yeko Kingdom, member of the Fourth Light Infantry Regiment."
Sure enough, it was the same as the information that was asked at the beginning, and he was from the Kingdom of Yeko.
Wen Mansha then asked, "What is your purpose here?"
"As ordered, create some chaos and perform tasks in Luntam City."
"According to whose orders."
"Command of this operation."
And conductor.
The two looked at each other.
Wen Mansha asked again: "Where is this conductor?"
The corpse pondered for a moment, "I don''t know."
The last question is, "Is this commander within the three districts of Luntam City?"
"exist!"
After answering the five questions, the body lay back on its back.
Wen Mansha''s face was also a little serious and she said, "It seems that many people have come around one after another."
"Ask the other bodies." Wu Heng released [Conversation with the Dead] again, and the second corpse sat up.
Wen Mansha also followed and started asking questions.
…
Several corpses were questioned one after another.
The basic situation is pretty much understood.
As they had guessed, these people bypassed the skeleton army and gathered around Luntam City.
To keep their operations secret, they would go into town wearing blue hoods and red sashes.
At that time, someone will determine the location where they will stay and use the animal taming to give them tasks.
The Skeleton Knight in the path of this attack was also passed down in this way.
As for who the commander is, and whether there is anyone else, there is no clue.
Unilaterally assign tasks.
It''s really hard to find each other.
"Order a city-wide search?" Wen Mansha looked at Wu Heng.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "Don''t worry, if there is too much noise, the city may be in chaos first, and it may also remind them that they have been discovered."
"Do you have any good ideas?" Wen Mansha then asked.
"The blue hood and red belt are a helpful clue. Tomorrow, arrange for someone to pretend to be this image and go to the city to see if they can find any clues." Wu Heng said directly.
"Okay, then just do as the master says." Wen Mansha smiled, "Go back to eat first. I asked someone to cook a very sumptuous dinner."
"Let''s go."
Returning to the city lord''s mansion, Wen Mansha went upstairs to see the baby, and the housekeeper went to see how the dinner was going in the kitchen.
…
Outside the city, inside a grocery store.
A figure walked in quickly and looked around.
Approaching the counter, he lowered his voice and said: "The team that went to kill the Skeleton Knight has disappeared. Let everyone hide for a while. All previous identification features have been cancelled. Notify them immediately. If you cannot notify them, please do not continue to contact them."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
