Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 17.17: Declaration of War!
boom!
A sound was heard.

Wang Ji really wanted to kick the door open and announce his arrival in a domineering way.

However, he overestimated his strength and underestimated the strength of the gate.

The manor guards were startled by the noise and rushed over to investigate.

"Where did this little brat come from? Do you know where you are? Get lost, or I'll spank your bottom!"

Then Wang Ji got sprayed in the face.

The other party not only showed him no respect, but even tried to wave him away.

What a shame!
"Listen up, I'm here to declare war!"

Wang Ji spoke in a low, angry voice.

"You brat, we don't have time to mess around with you. Since you're not leaving, don't blame me for beating you so badly that you can only limp back home!"

The manor guard at the gate was clearly not in the mood to coax the child. He walked out of the gate and reached out to pick up Wang Ji and teach him a lesson.

Wang Ji kept a close eye on the guards, not letting his guard down despite their underestimation of him. The main reason was that the manor guards were wearing full armor, which looked particularly tough.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble here; they'd probably cower at the sight of that armor from a distance.

Just as the guards got close enough, Wang Ji suddenly changed his appearance, his whole body covered in black armor, and a black sword appeared in his hand.

Bang!

Before the guards could react, Wang Ji swiftly leaped up and slashed.

The immense pressure struck, and the guard felt dizzy and his vision blurred. He felt the things around him rushing backward, accompanied by a sharp pain and a sense of emptiness.

"Enemy attack!!!"

He let out a final, heart-wrenching scream, then collapsed to the ground, knocking himself unconscious.

Seeing that the other party reacted so quickly, Wang Ji wasted no time and turned around to slash at another guard.

clang!
The other guard was no pushover either; he reacted immediately, drawing his sword swiftly to block Wang Ji's attack.

hiss--

Although he managed to block it, the guard's face twitched. He was so shocked by the pressure from the lower-realm alloy sword that he couldn't help but take several steps back. His hands were also a little numb, and he almost dropped the sword.

So heavy!
The manor guards couldn't help but take another step back, their gazes trembling as they looked at Wang Ji.

He reached behind him and picked up the shield, holding it in front of him. With the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, he confronted Wang Ji, his eyes fixed on the black sword, his vigilance evident.

'Although that sword is strange, probably imbued with some kind of magic, as long as we defend properly, we can hold it off for a while.'

As long as we wait for reinforcements to arrive...

The guard was still thinking when he saw Wang Ji sheathe his sword and suddenly pull out a black axe from somewhere, smashing it down.

Netherite Ax.

Compared to swords, axes have a slower attack speed but higher damage, but most importantly, they can break shields!

With a clang, the axe and shield clashed, and the guard's arm went numb instantly, as if cursed, feeling that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift the shield.

Taking advantage of the opening, Wang Ji punched the guard to the ground, then skillfully held the sword blade to the guard's neck.

The guard froze, barely daring to breathe or move.

With just a gentle swipe, a head will fall to the ground.

However, Wang Ji did not do that.

"Tell me, where are Ian and Ryder, the two people who were arrested a while ago?"

Seeing that his life was in their hands, the guard quickly replied, "I don't know the person you're talking about!"

"I really don't know him, I'm just a doorman!"

Seeing Wang Ji frown, the guard quickly explained.

"Then tell me, who here knows the most?"

The guard's eyes darted around, and he said, "I don't know anything, but our captain might know something. He's usually the one who directs our work, and so is the commander, who's directly responsible for protecting our master's safety. At this time, he might..."

The tip of the sword shifted slightly and seeped into the flesh.

"I don't want to waste time with your nonsense. Tell me something useful right now."

Wang Ji said coldly, "From now on, the tip of the sword will move a little bit every second. If I don't hear what you want to hear, I guarantee you will stop breathing completely before reinforcements arrive."

"By the way, my hands aren't very steady, so please forgive me, since I'm still young."

"No, no, I'll talk!" The guard opened his eyes wide in terror, but Wang Ji did not stop because of the wailing.

This made the guard even more terrified, and he immediately said:

"Enter the main villa in the center of the manor, turn left on the second floor, and the third room is the butler's office. He is in charge of the manor's salary payments and daily meals and lodging, including the prison food. He must know where the people who have been imprisoned are!"

Before the artery ruptured, the guard spoke everything he knew at the fastest speed he had ever been able to.

The feeling of watching yourself slowly approach death and being powerless to resist is truly unbearable. If I had known it would end like this, I would have preferred to rush in from the start and get knocked unconscious. Being severely injured, unconscious, or even disabled would be better than being tortured to death.

"Watch your mouth, and maybe you can live."

The blade had severed from flesh and blood, and the sounds of armor scraping and clashing nearby could already be clearly heard.

Seeing the guard nod like a chick pecking at rice, Wang Ji quickly left and hid behind a wall.

Only then did the guard breathe a sigh of relief, touching his neck, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

"Where is the enemy!?"

The guard, clutching his still-bleeding neck, said, "You scared him away. I was almost killed just now; I didn't even see which way he ran..."

"They won't have gone too far, search them!"

A group of guards with significantly better armor arrived and began a thorough search of the surrounding area.

When they found a wall, the guard, whose neck was still bleeding, felt a sudden pause in his heartbeat and, for some reason, a sense of nervousness.

'Don't come out, please don't come out...'

If that brat is discovered and decides to kill us first to silence us, even with so many people attacking together, it would be difficult to stop him.

"no!"

As a report came through, the gatekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

...

"Hmm... The guards responsible for guarding the gate have been slacking off again this month. They've looked away from the gate three times... maybe four times."

“Inappropriate attitude, five days’ wages will be deducted.”

"Ha, these lazybones. Giving them food is already a favor, yet they still want to pay them. It's such a waste. Do they even know how to spend so much money?"

"Why not let me, the smarter person in the upper echelons, take over?"

Inside the villa in the manor, the butler was calculating the accounts while pondering where else he could squeeze out some money.

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, a strange knocking sound rang out on the wall, but the sound stopped immediately when the butler turned around.

"Hallucination?"

The butler stared intently at the wall, feeling that there seemed to be many cracks on it, but they disappeared in an instant.

He opened the door and looked around, but still found nothing.

Click.

The door closed, and the butler lifted his leg to walk into the house, but in the instant he turned around, he suddenly turned back without warning, opened the door and looked outside, launching a surprise attack.

"Not really."

Worry too much.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and went back into the house.

"Perhaps it's because of the hot weather..."

Snapped!
Just then, a piece of the window suddenly broke and shattered into pieces.

The cut was perfectly smooth and square.

"who!"

The butler was immediately alarmed and looked over, but found nothing.

However, strange things continued to happen. After the first piece of glass shattered, it seemed to spread like wildfire, with cracks appearing on the glass below as well.

But there was clearly nothing outside the window!

The window seemed to suddenly lose its mind and began to shatter on its own.

The crack started from the center and spread outwards.

and many more…

The butler suddenly frowned, swallowed hard, and leaned closer to the window, glancing out sideways.

A small head wearing a black helmet peeked out almost simultaneously.

pat.

The second pane of glass in the window shattered.

Hello!
