Chapter 711, Appointment of Inspector
Bang bang bang~!
Immediately after, all the gun barrels hidden between the shield gaps spat fire, and bullets swept forward densely.
The human troops charging at the front were instantly covered by bullets, falling in waves.
The skeletons kept moving forward, holding submachine guns, advancing while shooting.
The entire battle line also began to shift forward with the skeletons.
The originally clear sky turned dim and lightless.
The skeleton army advanced through the smoke, soul flames flickering in their eye sockets, holding fire-spitting weapons, like demons harvesting human lives from hell.
Before a real clash even began, the humans had already suffered heavy casualties.
They couldn't get close at all, only watching themselves fall in swathes.
More people, faces filled with horror, turned and fled toward the rear.
Orders to retreat also came from the rear.
The already chaotic army instantly collapsed. Everyone abandoned their helmets and armor, fleeing without looking back.
Leaving behind corpses scattered all over and discarded weapons.
And deserters crawling away frantically.
......
The gunfire stopped.
Woo~!
A dull horn sounded again.
Thump thump thump~!
Countless running footsteps echoed from both flanks of the battlefield.
"For the Horde! For the Rentam City Alliance!"
A four-meter-tall orc with dark green skin and tusks raised his battle axe and roared loudly.
"For the Horde! For the Alliance!"
Mighty falcons soared overhead.
Behind him, countless sturdy orcs wielding axes and hammers charged out from the woods on both sides, shouting loudly, pouncing on the fleeing soldiers of the Ekow Kingdom.
Orcs excelled in close combat, rampaging ferociously.
Now, facing fleeing enemies with no will to fight, it was even more suitable for them to unleash their power.
They slaughtered the enemy army with no chance to fight back.
Behind the orcs.
The old shaman held a wooden staff, eyes fixed on the battlefield below.
Behind him stood the chiefs or upper ranks of other tribes.
"Great Shaman, what weapons are they using? This is too outrageous!"
"I've seen such equipment on skeletons in the city, but it's the first time I've seen them used. If we could buy some, we could also exhibit such combat power."
"Must be tools from the Guild. They probably won't sell them."
"Next time, watch your words. Don't anger Madam Wen Mansa."
The old shaman turned back to glance at several orc chiefs.
He said, "These are Wu Heng's weapons. As of now, only he possesses the blueprints and methods to make them. I didn't expect he had already produced so many."
In his memory, Wu Heng had used these weapons to deal with the Warhammer Party and the original city lord 'Elno's army.
But back then, there definitely weren't this many.
Only dozens of people were equipped.
Now, seeing how many were left to Rentam City, there must be even more on his side.
"If Rentam City has so many weapons, why do they still need to fight the Ekow Kingdom with us?" an orc asked.
The old shaman glanced at him and said, "Wen Mansa has a child now, so she's become more cautious. She definitely doesn't want any danger appearing behind her when facing enemies."
"She's guarding against us? We could now deploy the tribes and strike Rentam City while it's undefended," said an orc.
The old shaman glared at him, "Use your stupid brain. Our main forces are all here. The rest, Wen Mansa isn't afraid of."
After pausing, he continued, "Say such divisive words again, and you'll go back to the tribe and leave the Alliance."
"I was just speaking nonsense. I won't say it again," the orc immediately admitted fault.
The old shaman continued advising, "Tell the tribespeople to behave in the city. Maintaining a good relationship with Rentam City is beneficial to us."
"Understood!" the orcs answered.
......
Netalei City.
During the day, Wu Heng and Li Yahong toured the pharmaceutical factory and left the Alchemy Skeleton there.
In the afternoon, they returned to the central mall and handed over the remaining matters to Li Yahong. Wu Heng himself returned to the City Lord's Mansion via the world gate.
The rest depended on when the Alchemy Skeleton would learn to make tablets.
At that time, it should become a new product on Gold-Silver Island.
Exiting the world gate, he released the three spirits, letting them roam freely, changed his clothes, and freshened up briefly.
Upon returning to his seat, his eyes landed on the notebook beside the skeleton investigator.
His brows slightly raised. A record on it was a message left by Wen Mansa.
Picking up the radio mic, "Wen Mansa, can you hear me?"
Soon, Wen Mansa's voice came through, "Master, I can hear you."
"I saw your message. Did something happen?" Wu Heng asked.
After a brief pause, she continued, "Rentam City's army has already engaged with the Ekow Kingdom's forces..."
Wu Heng's brows instantly furrowed. So the battle had really started.
"How is it?"
He asked this, but based on her tone, he could already guess the result.
Wen Mansa laughed and said, "The frontline report says no skeletons were lost. A few orcs were injured, some from charging downhill and not being able to stop, tumbling down the slope."
"That's good news!"
"Of course it's good news," Wen Mansa replied cheerfully.
Wu Heng continued asking, "After the victory, how were things arranged?"
"Now the skeleton army is still advancing. In about a day, they'll reach the Ekow Kingdom's border," Wen Mansa reported, then asked, "Do you have any orders, Master?"
Wu Heng thought for a moment, "I don't know the situation on your side. You decide based on the scene. The main thing is to ensure your and your daughter's safety. The city doesn't matter."
"Don't worry. I haven't even gone out. The City Lord's Mansion is fully surrounded and secure," Wen Mansa said with a smile.
"Good then." Wu Heng calculated the time in his head, "When I'm done here, I'll come over to see you."
Orders from headquarters will arrive in a few days.
Wen Mansa seemed to be in a favorable position, so a day or two didn't matter.
"No need. If there's danger, I'll let you know."
"Alright."
Then Wen Mansa reported about the orc alliance. The initial plan had already been carried out.
The entire Rentam City was now tightly bound to the orc tribes.
After the war, people would be sent to the orc tribes to spread newspapers and stories of Detective Wu Heng.
To collect fame.
After chatting for a while, Philipa knocked on the door, calling him to eat.
He said a few words to Wen Mansa.
Ended the call and went downstairs to eat.
......
The next day, in the morning.
Wu Heng, with his skeleton attendant, walked into the Guild Hall.
He lightly knocked on the study door. Upon getting a response, he entered.
Elder Tapani was still seated behind the desk.
"Elder, you were looking for me?" Wu Heng asked.
Tapani nodded, "The Guild's directive has arrived. They've praised and rewarded our actions this time. Further investigations into the Ekow Kingdom will follow."
Wu Heng's eyes gleamed. It had finally arrived.
Actually, it wasn't even a few days late. He'd just asked headquarters about it yesterday, and today it was already here.
"What did they say?" Wu Heng continued asking.
Tapani picked up an appointment letter and handed it over, saying, "Flagbearer Wu Heng of the Emerald Sea, in this Netalei City case investigation, performed outstandingly and played an irreplaceable role. Awarded first-class merit, and appointed as Guild Inspector, authorized to inspect various regions."
