Chapter 207: Who gives more

 The carrion groups are scattered in formation and dressed in disorder.

 You can see the Warhammer Party wearing black armor, the Iron Guard Knights in silver armor, and gang members with various scattered equipment.

 It was like a fight between two sides, and he started transforming the corpse from behind.

 Such a team was put together.

 Both people on both sides suspected that it was reinforcements from the other side, and they remained in a stalemate for a while without any movement.

"Captain, over there is the lord of Luntam City. I saw him when I was a child!" Duke pointed to the city wall in the distance and said.

Wu Heng looked up and saw a man in armor, surrounded by many people, looking towards the corpse from the top of the wall.

This was the first time Wu Heng met the lord of Luntam City.

 Looks like there is nothing special about him except being tall.

 “I thought he ran away!” Wu Heng said.

"I thought he ran away too." Duke also echoed, and then continued to ask: "Captain, is this not a fight? They are all separated."

"Let's come over. The two parties are not sure about our identity." Wu Heng explained.

 When I arrived.

 Attack directly from the rear and cooperate with the Iron Guard Knights to attack from both sides, which can cause heavy damage to the Warhammer Party.

 But he didn't do that.

 Before arriving at the battlefield, Wu Heng asked "Glenda" to take the lead in conducting reconnaissance over the battlefield.

The main force of the Warhammer party, especially the skull-crushers on the bounty, did not join the battlefield.

 Once the wights launch an attack, they will surely face the attention of the main force of the Warhammer Party.

 Since he is helping himself, it is obviously not a wise choice to bring the boss's hatred onto himself.

 At that time, no matter how timid the Iron Guard Knights are, they will become the target of the Warhammer Party, and may even fall into complete passivity.

 So, after the team arrived, they did not take direct action.

 Instead, I plan to take a look at the situation on site before making the next step.

I just didn't expect that the two parties would forcefully pull away from the fighting area, forming the current stalemate.

 “What now?” Duke continued to ask.

"Wait a minute, they are not in a hurry, why should we be in a hurry?" Wu Heng said.

"okay!"

 The stalemate lasted for about 10 minutes.

From the position of the Iron Guard Knights, a group of people quickly walked out. One of them was a bit fat and wore bulging leather armor. He looked like an official in the city.

He quickly came to the periphery of the rotting corpse and shouted loudly: "The adults inside, the officials of the Luntam City City Hall, want to meet and talk with you.

Before Wu Heng could speak, a man's voice came from the other side, "The Warhammer Party comes with sincerity and wants to meet and talk with you."

 Two voices came to the back of the team one after another.

  Duke and others all looked at Wu Heng.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, "You guys should stay away first and don't let them know our identities. Wen Mansha stays."

 “Okay!” Several people nodded and left directly.

 …

 In a vacant room.

 The doors and windows were all opened, allowing bright sunlight to shine in.

Wu Heng wore a cloak to cover his equipment, and a gas mask on his face.

 Wrap yourself tightly and look more mysterious.

This kind of dressing up may seem strange to others.

But for the mysterious and weird Necromancer, dressing up like this is in line with his status.

Wu Heng sat in the first place, followed by several skeleton attendants.

 Below, sat representatives of the Knights of the Iron Guard and the Warhammer Party.

The Knight of the Iron Guard is a middle-aged man with a somewhat bloated body, sitting upright, with a serious face, but an anxious look in his eyes.

On the Warhammer Party side, there was a warlock in robes, holding a wooden staff in his hand. His eyes scanned the blood ax and fangs behind Wu Heng, his pupils shrank, showing a look of surprise.

 The two backbones who did not meet up as planned actually appeared here.

Moreover, it has become an enslaved undead creature.

Such a small border town actually lives with such a terrifying necromancer.

 “What do you call me, sir?” the official from Luntam City asked respectfully.

"The title is not important, just explain your purpose of coming!" Wu Heng's dull voice sounded from under the mask.

The official glanced at the Warhammer Party and said directly: "The Lord of Erno promises you that as long as your troops defeat the Warhammer Party together, he is willing to pay you five thousand gold coins as a thank you gift."

 Especially on the word "gold coin", the tone is emphasized.

 Five thousand gold coins.

The oil and water in Luntam City is really fat.

 I just asked the people from the Secret Order for 80 gold coins, but they were hesitant.

　Now the city lord’s casual promise actually reached 5,000 pieces.

  It's simply an exaggeration.

Seeing that Wu Heng did not answer immediately, both of them began to become nervous.

The warlock from the Warhammer Party spoke directly, "Sir, although Luntam City is a small border town, it is also a transit point for trade between the two races. Five thousand gold coins sounds like a lot, but it is nothing more than two or three years of tax. He is using numbers to fool you. , obviously without any sincerity.”

Without waiting for the Luntam City officials to retort, the warlock continued: "If you are willing to side with the Warhammer Party, you can choose an area in the outer city as your jurisdiction afterwards. Whether it is taxation or some magic experiments, all will be done by You have the final say, and within a few years the tax will be enough to earn the other party's price, and it will continue to generate benefits in the future."

Wu Heng frowned, a little surprised at the other party's expressive ability.

This warlock doesn't seem to be a bandit. At least he has a deep understanding of the situation in the city.

  Judging from the conditions proposed by the two. The Warhammer party is obviously more attractive.

 But there is still a difference between the two.

The promise of Luntam City is like cutting off flesh on the body.

 Give as little as possible if you can.

 The Warhammer Party has no such concerns at all. Anyway, it is not their own now, so they can be more generous in promising some benefits.

 Hearing the promise of the Warhammer Party, the officials were the first to sit still.

Hurryly said: "The Warhammer Party is just some bandits, and there is no guarantee that they will abide by their promises."

“Elnor was also from a gang back then. He simply occupied the inner city earlier. Does your word count?” Warhammer Warlock retorted.

"How can you, Lord City Lord, be compared with criminals like you who commit murder and arson?"

 “They all walked out on the night road, why should they speak so noblely?”

"you…."

Wu Heng looked at the two quarreling people, tapped the armrest of the seat, and said directly: "I want half of the jurisdiction of the city. If you can agree to it, I will help him."

this….

 Both of them were a little stunned on the spot, half in charge.

This is to divide the city into two halves, or to establish two city lords.

 This mouth is a little too big.

 “Sir, this….”

The official wanted to speak, but Wu Heng waved his hand directly to stop what he was saying, and said: "You can't make the decision, so go back and discuss with your leader or city lord whether to give up half of the city or disappear with the city. , you can add it up yourself, okay, you can go back."

Wu Heng saw off the guests directly. The two wanted to talk, but they looked at each other and held back.

 After a slight salute, he turned around and left.

 Wait away and left the carrion team.

Wen Mansha just walked out from one side and said softly: "Will they agree?"

Wu Heng asked for half of the city with one mouthful, which also surprised Wen Mansha.

　　After all, my master has been relatively low-key in doing things in the past, but his appetite is quite big this time.

 It's like snatching meat from the mouths of two tigers.

 I always feel that there is a lot of risk.

Wu Heng took off his mask and said, "They have no choice."

 “Then which side are you going to help?” Wen Mansha continued to ask.

 “Which side do you want to help?” Wu Heng asked.

 “Listen to you.”

 “Just say whatever you want.”

Wen Mansha frowned and thought for a moment, then said softly: "Let's still be the current city lord. Although his management is relatively poor, the city is still stable. If the Warhammer Party takes over the city, it will not be long before it becomes a bandit den. , after all, everyone is on the wanted list, how can there be a stable life? "

 The current city lord seems to be indifferent.

 As long as the tax revenue is collected, the rest is irrelevant.

 Gang fights occur from time to time in the outer city area, and wanted criminals gather in the outer city area, which is quite chaotic.

 But no matter what, they still abide by the basic rules. At least there is an association in the city and they won't do anything too excessive.

 But once the Warhammer Party manages the city, the association will definitely not exist.

 How the business will be run by then is hard to say.

 “Okay, I understand.” Wu Heng said.

Wen Mansha smiled and said softly: "I'll just say whatever I want. Of course, the master has the final say."

Wu Heng patted his round buttocks to show that he understood.

 …

 Warhammer camp.

 The warlock told everything about what he had just communicated with the other party.

Shattered Skull and the other skeleton frowned deeply.

 “He is so arrogant, he actually wants half the city.” The skeleton holding a double ax said angrily.

Had it not been for the sudden appearance of this carrion team, they would have already invaded the inner city and started the decisive battle.

 At that time, women with money will have everything they need, and they will also enjoy the life of those powerful men.

But when this team came, it not only hindered their plan, but also asked for half of the city. It was simply too much bullying.

Especially the other side's soldiers and horses, all of which were their men who died in battle.

  There is a feeling of being caught by a blank wolf.

 “What kind of person is he?” Broken Skull asked directly.

The warlock replied as he thought about it, "Wearing a black cloak and a strange mask on his face, he should be a necromancer by profession. Judging from his behavior and movements, he doesn't seem to be very old."

 “Don’t know the other party’s identity?”

"The other party didn't want to disclose it. He just said his name and identity were not important." The warlock replied, suddenly thought of something, and said: "There is one more thing. I saw it from his side..."

Suddenly stopped mid-sentence, hesitating a little.

Shattered Skull and Orc Bone looked over at the same time in confusion.

The warlock hesitated for a moment, then said: "I saw 'Nagzio' and 'Ixir'. They were dead and turned into skeleton attendants by the other party."

   Thanks to 08a for the reward.

　　　Thanks to Zeroaxl for the tip.
