Chapter 234: Chapter 200, Captain, the city gate is open (One more today.)_3
The Iron Guard Knights were quite diligent, whereas the gang members were overall rather lax, looking around and clearly not taking things too seriously.
Basically, these gangs being recruited was their hard luck.
If they were in a smaller gang, they might have run away by now.
Even if they wanted to run now, they couldn’t. Once the fight started, they would be at the front.
The night gradually deepened.
The sky seemed to be covered with a curtain.
Only the torches on the city wall, emitting an orange-red flame, the crackling sound of burning, and the faint sound of people conversation could be heard.
Wu Heng led his men around the city wall.
After confirming there was no problem, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s get down.”
Taking advantage of the unnoticed, a few of them descended from the city wall.
In an empty shop, they spread blankets and rested.
Curses, shouts, and the sounds of swords and knives slashing came from outside the house.
Wu Heng abruptly opened his eyes and saw the thief ‘Burke’ standing beside him.
“What’s wrong?” Wu Heng’s eyes instantly grew cold.
“Captain, it’s bad, they started fighting outside.” The thief immediately said.
At the same time, all the others also woke up.
The noise outside got even louder.
Wu Heng signaled everyone to be quiet.
He walked to the window and looked outside.
The building was ablaze, and heavy smoke was billowing.
Numerous gang members dressed in different outfits were fighting with the guards at the city wall.
The sounds of shouting and cursing merged into one.
You could faintly hear the sound of crossbows being fired, and the wailing of pain.
Mata shared his vision with the tamed beast.
His face turned ugly too, and he said, “Captain, the city gate is open, the Hammer Party has stormed in.”
The faces of the people in the room changed instantly.
The Hammer Party had really made their move.
And in this manner had they breached the city’s defenses.
Wu Heng didn’t reply.
The noises of shouting and fighting outside were getting louder and louder, and the area of conflict was approaching their location.
The sound of fierce knocking on the door was heard.
At the same time, a shrill voice came, “There are people here, come quickly, let’s kill them together.”
After a couple more knocks,
The door fell down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Then, five beastmen wearing various armors, with white armbands on their arms, rushed in.
Covered in blood, they emanated a vicious aura.
However, when they saw the people inside and their outfits, they froze.
“A-Ambassadors.” The Beastman who had just called for help paused.
Another person pushed him aside and scolded, “Ambassadors, what are you afraid of? We’ve fought this far, kill them and no one will know.”
“Exactly, once we take the city, the whole ambassador group will be replaced. What are you afraid of now?” Someone else chimed in.
“Kill them, don’t let them escape.”
Before they could finish speaking,
Wu Heng released the safety catch and fired a few shots.
The front few people were shot in the head and fell to the ground.
The two at the back didn’t even see what had happened, and instantly three of their partners were dead.
They turned and left the room, disappearing into the chaotic street.
“Don’t chase, let them run.” Wu Heng said.
Duke came over to block Wu Heng, “Captain, what do we do?”
Before Duke could finish his words,
Noises again came from outside the door.
The two who had escaped brought even more gang members over.
They were cursing and blocking the door.
Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed, he glimpsed at the thief in his squad, then quickly averted his gaze.
“Prepare for battle!”
At the same time, he released the Corpse Manipulation Skill.
The three corpses blocking the door stood up one after another, standing to one side.
