Chapter 248: Chapter 208, Waiting for His Death (first update)._3

Simply lining up their targets, two skeletons pulled the trigger, directly launching bullets towards the figures chasing closely behind.

Bang! Bang! Bang~!

The gun barrel spat out streams of orange flame.

The enraged creature named ‘Skull Crusher,’ chasing after them, abruptly felt a hair-raising sensation and instinctively dodged to one side.

Despite reacting with lightning speed, it couldn’t outpace a bullet.

Most of the bullets merely grazed it, burying into the ground, while a few stray shots hit its chest plate.

The bullets pierced the first layer of steel but were lodged in the plate, failing to penetrate the body.

A regular human would have been blown apart by now, but Skull Crusher merely stumbled a few steps back. Showing surprise and caution in its eyes, it glanced down at the damage on its body.

The creature didn’t seem to anticipate a weapon this eccentric and powerful.

Immediately, it rolled on the ground, intending to leave the area first.

Wu Heng, who was in the car, also looked surprised. Not only did the creature dodge a bullet, but it also survived a heavy machine gun.

But seeing it was trying to escape, Wu Heng swiftly shouted, “Glenda.”

As his words echoed.

A ghost materialized out of nowhere in front of Skull Crusher, pointing with its finger.

A phantom formed.

Skull Crusher abruptly froze, its pupils dilated, and then it quickly snapped back to attention.

But the brief hesitation cost it. The bullets already rained down.

Ding ding ding, thud thud thud~!

The chest plate was riddled with bullet dents. Bullets pierced through the creature’s waist, abdomen, and thighs. More than one shot hit its right lower leg causing a bone fracture and leaving it unable to support itself on the ground.

Skull Crusher showed signs of pain. It never expected its enemy to possess a myriad of lethal methods.

However, without time to think, it dragged its injured leg and rushed into a nearby narrow alleyway aiming to escape first.

As soon as Wu Heng spotted it trying to escape, he abruptly halted the tricycle and started to back up.

With the vehicle parked at the junction, one machine gun changed direction.

Bang bang bang~!

The confined alleyway rained with a hailstorm of bullets.

Screaming in fury, Skull Crusher’s body armor was blasted to pieces under the terrified gaze. Its body was shot full of holes and was in complete disarray.

[Experience…..]

[Unlocked Expertise: Arcane Echoes, Necromancy Scholar, Undead Adaptation.]

System prompt appeared, indicating the enemy’s death.

“Stop firing, it’s dead,” Wu Heng said directly.

The sound of gunshots ceased, and a cloud of smoke formed by the gunpowder spread over the tricycle.

“Drag out the corpse,” Wu Heng said.

The two skeletons hopped off the vehicle and headed into the narrow alleyway.

Dragging the mutilated corpse out.

…

Inside the city walls, City Lord Ereno and the various officials were closely watching the battlefield below.

“City Lord, the leader and main force of the Hammer Party are attacking the carrion. It’s a perfect opportunity for us to mount a total assault.”

Ereno gazed at the whole battlefield but his face was blank.

Even though they had never commanded soldiers, by now, they knew it was a good time to launch a full-scale attack, coordinating with the carrion to annihilate the Hammer Party.

However, in his hand, the agreement felt like a mountain weighing heavily on his shoulder.

After years of hard work, Lundham City had achieved its present prosperity.

And now, he would have to part with half of it.

But what if the other party dies in this battle?

Considering the Hammer Party’s current losses, once they wipe out the carrion, they would hardly have enough strength left to attack the inner city.

Ereno directly said, “Withdraw the troops, retreat to the city gate.”

All the officials paused, but they quickly understood the intentions of the City Lord. Some thought it was inappropriate while others praised him.

“Retreat to the city gate!” cried a messenger soldier.

Dong, dong, dong ~!

The drums sounded.

The soldiers immersed in the fight paused, then stopped attacking and started to retreat back to the city gate.

Hold the city gate, help the wounded.
