The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 865 - 865 698 Why Is It You (One update for today)

Chapter 865: Chapter 698, Why Is It You (One update for today). Chapter 865: Chapter 698, Why Is It You (One update for today). The attempt to assassinate Philippa had failed.

Then ca the noisy sound of footsteps.

A large number of Patrol Guards and City Defense Army had assembled at the front of the road, with Swords and Blades drawn and Crossbows readied, their gazes uniformly fixed on the side of the fleet.

And behind them at sea, 12 Yeko Kingdom naval ships appeared one after another, quickly forming a fleet, and tossing wooden barrels overboard into the sea.

Floating on the surface, they sealed off the escape route from the port.

Philippa watched the gathering crowd with a fierce expression, scanning everyone’s movents.

Having been a pirate or having followed Wu Heng to kill enemies, she had seen blood and grander scenes, showing not the slightest panic.

“Philippa, why are you capturing ?” the Fifth Princess shouted, struggling to free herself from the Skeleton holding her back.

Philippa turned to look, “Just stay put.”

The Fifth Princess glanced at the fleet blocking the sea behind her and the troops gathering at the port, her face turning a shade paler once again.

From the scene that had unfolded before her eyes, she could guess what had happened.

If the killer was only the gang leader identified yesterday, then the whole case was nearing its end.

The sudden abnormal assembly of the army here ant that the association investigation team had found a new clue.

And it was a clue related to the leaders of the entire city.

These people wanted not only to harm the city but also to kill the entire Yeko Kingdom.

After looking around at everyone, the Fifth Princess turned her gaze back to Philippa and said, “I’ve lost this ti. My life is yours. Take with you to save Wu Heng and the others; after all, I am a mber of the Royal Family.”

Seeing the seriousness of the other party, Philippa said, “There’s an Elder in the association, and not to ntion you’re an escaped Fifth Princess, not even your father alive would necessarily do any good.”

“Why do you have to speak so unpleasantly?”

“Tch,” Philippa grinned with a scoff.

Behind her, a large group of Skeletons began to gather on the edges of the deck.

The navy wore Armor, wielding firearms.

Using the fence as a cover, they readied themselves for battle.

Below, the army quickly completed its assembly, with infantry in the front row and soldiers holding Crossbows following up, along with the crossbow carts being pushed out.

An austere and deadly atmosphere instantly spread throughout.

This was a feeling that Bandits and Pirates could not reach.

At this mont, two soldiers carrying a chair walked out and placed it in the center of the army.

A slender, tall man dressed in the attire of a City Defense Commander ca out and nonchalantly sat down in the chair, legs crossed, looking forward.

Then, he murmured a few words.

A soldier hurriedly ran close to the ships and shouted loudly, “All crew aboard, listen up! All ships must unconditionally submit to our control; now everyone, disembark.”

“So much nonsense, just shoot him,” Philippa said.

Bang~!

One of the Skeletons beside her raised an arm and fired a shot. The loud report of the gun was ear-piercing, and the shouting soldier instantly fell into a pool of blood.

The distant army, too, was startled by the sudden gunfire.

Then, trumpets suddenly blew in the midst of the Yeko Kingdom army.

The muffled, thunderous sound of the horns imdiately resonated far and wide.

Kill~!

The shout of ‘Kill’ echoed all around.

The troops below imdiately began their charge, throngs surging towards the port.

Infantry pressed in, with the ranks of Crossbown in tow, preparing to attack within shooting range.

As the army got closer, they began preparing to board the gangways.

Philippa leaned forward and ordered, “Shoot those bastards for .”

As her words fell, Skeletons rose from the edge of the deck, dark muzzles of their guns aid at the crowd below.

Bang~!

Bang Bang Bang~!

Rifles began to fire in bursts, followed by the high-positioned Machine Guns spitting flas at the crowd below.

In an instant, bullets stread out from the several docked ships, and the front-row soldiers rushing towards them fell in heaps.

Boom Boom~!

The crossbow carts, not yet pushed into position, were hit by Machine Cannon shells.

In an instant, the cart exploded, scattering the operating soldiers to pieces.

“Blow up that group of Magicians over there,” Philippa pointed.

The Machine Cannon swiveled its barrel.

The group of Magicians below imdiately showed terror and panic.

Soon after, the group exploded; the Magicians who acted slightly slow were blown sky-high.

The Fifth Princess and the little Maid hid behind the fence, covering their ears and curling up together.

What was happening?

The seemingly fierce Kingdom army was collapsing so easily.

They charged headlong and then fell, one by one.

Such weapons~!

“Princess, what are these?” the little Maid shouted.

“The mysterious weapons of Gold and Silver Island, the ones used to repel the pirates,” the Fifth Princess replied subconsciously.

Watching the army deaths mount.

She felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart, even knowing that it was Netalee City that had done wrong, but after all, it was the people of the Kingdom dying.

But without doing so, if the people of the association really died here…

The consequences would only be more severe.

“Blow up that Commander~!” Philippa said again.

The Machine Cannon barrel turned once more, its barrel elevated upward.

The Commander, already petrified in place, saw the cannon aid in his direction, and his heart tightened instantly as he broke into a run to the side.

Boom Boom~!

The next second, an explosion burst out behind him.

Accompanied by a sky of limbs and rubble, his body was hurled into the air and crashed down in the distance.

“Darn, just missed,” Philippa slapped the fence forcefully.

If he wasn’t blown to death, he might very well resort to using an Elixir to recover; it was just by that little bit.

Philippa turned to look over her shoulder, towards the direction of Erald Sea, where the massive Yeko Kingdom naval fleet was still lingering, not approaching any closer.

“They’ve dispersed,” the little Maid shouted.

Looking again towards the port.

The charging troops retreated in a disheveled ss, leaving behind nothing but bodies strewn across the ground.
