Reconciliation?
Chen Yu would not give them such an opportunity.
If they were to unite, Chen Yu would have no chance to attack the city. Moreover, his candied chestnuts had been used, and the city-state would be extremely vigilant thereafter.
The difficulty of poisoning again would likely increase exponentially.
They must be made to fight.
Both sides were currently in a state of extreme tension, and even the slightest disturbance would instantly break the balance they had achieved.
"Kill!"
Harry, holding his great saber, shouted in a low voice.
"Officer Harry!" The necromancer seemed to want to delay further, glaring and reprimanding, "Calm down, our people did not ambush yours."
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the necromancer tried to persuade him.
He was met with a saber strike from the air.
Bang!
Just as Harry's saber was about to strike, a guard suddenly appeared before the necromancer, brandishing his sword and blocking the great saber.
"Officer Harry, calm down."
"You think you can stop me!" Harry roared in anger. The guard holding the sword reprimanded, "Our city lord has something to tell you."
"Heh, get rid of your hypocritical faces."
Harry's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the guard and the necromancer behind him.
"Even if all of this was done by that magic cloak person, so what? And the sudden change of events, you've been owing us military funds for months, don't think I don't know. You're delaying military funds because you're afraid I'll equip my subordinates, right?"
The necromancer looked at him, silent.
"With your little tricks, do you really think I can't see them?" Harry's eyes were filled with indifference. "You've been wary of us for a long time and have always wanted to eliminate my father and me to absorb our troops. In that case, let's settle old and new scores together!"
It was evident that killing intent was surging within Harry.
At this point, the necromancer finally let out a deep breath, squinting at the furious Harry before him.
"It seems there's no room for negotiation."
"Oh, there's definitely room for negotiation," Harry said mockingly. "You and your men can get lost. This city-state belongs to me. I can spare your lives out of consideration for our past cooperation."
"And if not?"
The necromancer's gaze also turned cold.
"Die here!"
Harry's expression was grim.
Judging by the current situation, Harry's side indeed held the advantage. Although the necromancer's guards were all capable of fighting ten opponents and their cultivation realms were much higher than those of the city soldiers, they could not fend off so many attackers. Even if they were valiant,
Facing more than ten times their number of city soldiers, they were still at a disadvantage.
The necromancer was silent for a long time. He looked around, listened to the sounds of fighting around him, and suddenly lowered his head, his shoulders trembling.
"Die here?"
He repeated Harry's threat with a mocking expression, then burst into laughter.
"You said I should die here?"
"Do you really think you still have any hope?" Harry whispered, his voice low. "Do you think my father and I only have a thousand men under us? Let me tell you, even without your military funds, we've privately recruited over a thousand new recruits. Now, the main street districts of this city-state are under my control."
"Illegally recruiting soldiers, that's a serious crime, Officer Harry," the necromancer said in a deep voice.
"Don't you still think you're the city lord?"
Harry's eyes were filled with disdain and mockery. "A serious crime, then please, ask the city lord to punish my father and me. I'm afraid before any punishment can be meted out, the city lord's life will be left here."
"Alright, then I'll fulfill your wish!"
At this moment, the necromancer suddenly shouted, his eyes accompanied by a faint mockery.
"Officer Harry, I don't know where you get the courage to utter such arrogant words in this city. You should know that this was once a dead city, and I am a necromancer!"
Instantly, Harry's expression changed drastically.
"Interrupt his casting!"
In an instant, Harry, wielding his long saber, charged forward ferociously.
Hachi followed closely behind.
However, the moment the father and son moved, several guards appeared before the necromancer.
"Officer Harry, please do not interfere with our city lord." The orc with a single horn on its head said softly, gripping its sword. Harry, feeling anxious, swung his saber, which whistled through the air. "Get lost!"
His offensive became more ferocious.
However, the orc with the single horn on its head had no intention of taking Harry's life. Although there might be a gap in their strength, by purely defending, he could hold off Harry for a considerable time.
Hachi's situation was also not good.
Surrounded by several guards.
Unable to break through the defenses after a prolonged assault, the necromancer raised his arm. A grey circle of light emanated from beneath his feet, emitting a faint, obscure glow.
"Come forth, my warriors!!!"
As the shout rang out.
Almost the moment the necromancer finished speaking, countless protrusions appeared from the ground of the city-state's streets. In less than half a minute, countless skeleton warriors wielding bone blades appeared in the streets.
"Wow~"
"An undead army!"
The little demon floating in the air couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this.
"Damn undead, I hate this aura," Sona bit her lip. "Chen Yu, I'll be back in the wristband for a while."
Swish.
The little angel Sona burrowed into Chen Yu's wristband.
At this moment, the entire street was occupied by skeleton warriors, the clatter of bones colliding echoing endlessly. Upon their appearance, they did not attack but instead bowed in unison towards the necromancer.
"Warriors, kill them all for me!"
As these words were spoken, the necromancer's eyes emitted blue flames. As if imbued with consciousness, they ferociously and fearlessly charged towards the city soldiers.
The battle was immense.
City soldiers and skeleton warriors became entangled in a fierce fight, the sounds of slaughter echoing endlessly, and the scent of blood permeated the city streets.
At this moment—
Chen Yu, sitting on a rooftop, gasped in lingering fear.
"Whoa, the necromancer actually had this move," Chen Yu couldn't help but exclaim. "His staff is with me, how could he summon such a large number of undead with empty hands?"
"This is a dead city."
The little demon spread its hands beside him and said, "If nothing unexpected happened, this city-state must have experienced a massacre. The corpses were not properly dealt with. After the plunderers looted the treasures, they abandoned the city, and the deceased could not rest in peace, forming undead."
"Massacre?"
"Mm~"
The little demon pouted its lips and nodded slightly.
"A massacre, and quite a brutal one at that. Such a dense undead aura that even Sona finds it uncomfortable. It must be at least a hundred years old, a hundred years..."
As he spoke, the little demon suddenly muttered to itself, then its expression changed drastically.
"Could it be that this city is..."
"My heavens!"
"How did that city get here?"
