The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 330: Chapter 274, Rich People are Silly_2

Andre Willow sat down close beside him and said, “I’ll accompany Master, I can take care of you that way.”

Wu Heng put his arm around the fox lady’s shoulder and smiled, “Just an ordinary little task, nothing dangerous.”

Pirates can’t possibly keep their promises.

But Wu Heng also had ways to protect himself even if there really was danger, the boundary door or Phantom Train could get him out of harm’s way.

Taking Andre Willow with him would only mean he had to divide his attention to take care of her.

That could actually lead to problems.

“Alright! Then Master, please be extra careful.”

“Hmm!” Wu Heng patted the fox lady’s shoulder gently.

She looked up at him and then twirled her tail around.

Wu Heng took out a wooden comb and started grooming her fluffy tail, while Andre Willow nestled beside him with a blushing face.

…

As night fell.

A medium-sized cargo ship floated on the sea surface.

The sea wind howled, and the waves that slapped against the ship’s hull sprinkled the deck like raindrops.

Step, step~!

Footsteps sounded as Olin came down, “Deputy Steward, Vice-executive Xi Ligui has notified you that we’re almost at the exchange point, please come over.”

“Oh, alright!” Wu Heng stood up, bringing the skeleton attendant with him, and walked onto the deck.

Water splashed endlessly overhead.

Wu Heng scanned his surroundings and walked towards where ‘Xi Ligui’ was located. Beside her, there was an elf who was the captain of a squad.

“Deputy Steward Wu Heng,” the squad captain saluted.

Wu Heng nodded and moved to ‘Xi Ligui’s side, asking, “How is it?”

“I haven’t seen any sign of Pirates.”

“If they’ve arranged it this way, they’re bound to show up,” Wu Heng said.

“Hmm!”

The cargo ship continued to move forward for a while longer.

Someone shouted, “We’ve arrived at the exchange point.”

Whoosh~!

No sooner had the voice faded.

From the surrounding darkness, countless small, fast boats suddenly burst forth.

They began to close in on the direction of the cargo ship.

The boats were crowded with people dressed like Pirates.

Some yelled loudly with weapons in hand, while others spun grappling hooks in their grasp.

“Hail them!” Xi Ligui instructed.

Someone with a megaphone-shaped horn called out, “We’ve brought the ransom to trade for the hostage, is the leader ‘Sha Naila’ safe?”

…

“Haha! They really brought money.”

“To believe such a thing, the brains of the wealthy are broken.”

“Board them, kill them all, and take the money back,” the surrounding Pirates laughed aloud.

They never expected these people to be so gullible, actually bringing a ship over to pay the ransom.

The multitude of small boats swiftly approached from all sides.

Xi Ligui leaned on the rail, looking down from both sides.

Her gaze swept across all the boats in sight.

She could confirm that there was no sign of ‘Sha Naila’.

“Fight, kill them all!” Xi Ligui ordered outright.

Eveyone sprang into action immediately.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~!

Crossbow arrows shot down from the ship.

The Pirates, holding shields, blocked them, occasionally shaking the shields and taunting with laughter.

The small boats reached the ship quickly.

Clang, clang, clang~!

One by one, grappling hooks were thrown onto the cargo ship, hooking onto the railings.

She started to attack the Pirates climbing from all around.

Three squads of people drew out their weapons and followed Wu Heng’s side.

“Deputy Steward, what should we do?”

“Go help out, don’t panic, these people are no threat.”

“Oh, alright!”

The people from the three squads also rushed down immediately, beginning to cut off the grappling hooks that had been thrown up.

…

“I’ve got a pretty boy over here, brothers, board this way.”

“Could it be that bitch’s little lover?”

“Don’t kill him, I like his ass.”

Wu Heng glanced down, and immediately, the pirates erupted in loud shouts.

Compared to the rough-skinned sailors, this one seemed to lack strength.

Wu Heng withdrew his gaze.

He took out a machine gun from his Space Ring.

He weighed it in his embrace then rested the machine gun on the railing, its muzzle pointing downwards, aimed at a shouting approaching boat and the pirates on it.

Amidst their shouts about doing something to someone’s ass,

He simply pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang~!

The violent explosions rang out as a dense spray of bullets rained down.

In an instant, the laughing, cursing pirates were torn to pieces, their wooden boat, amidst the splinters, riddled with holes, and began to sink slowly.

The gunfire stopped.

Above and below the boat, silence ensued.

Everyone looked in astonishment towards him and at the now missing wooden boat below.

“Continue fighting, what are you looking at me for,” Wu Heng said directly.

The others immediately continued hacking and hooking, shooting out crossbow arrows and bows.

Wu Heng, meanwhile, lifted the machine gun and moved to the side, aiming at the next boat.

Bang bang bang~!

The sound of gunfire exploded, and people and boats were shattered.

Wu Heng didn’t stop. The machine gun slid along the railing, continually sweeping toward the boats below.

One after another, the boats shattered.

The pirates felt fear.

Whenever the machine gun pointed at a boat, they would jump overboard without hesitation, plunging into the water.

The bullets continued to fly into the sea, tearing the pirates apart.

The pirates saw they didn’t stand a chance of fighting back and started to consider retreating.

Wu Heng cast the “Dancing Light Skill,” illuminating the sea surface while bullets continued to fly out non-stop.

Every pirate boat was shattered.

…

The machine gun was put back into the Space Ring.

Surrounding areas, too, gradually calmed down; the smell of gunpowder in the air dispersed by the sea breeze.

Wu Heng looked at the others and directly said, “Retrieve the bodies, bring them all up.”

“Go, lower the boats, and retrieve all the bodies,” ordered Olin, the Short person, loudly.

Except for the third squad,

Whether it was the first squad or the accompanying merchants,

They were all somewhat dizzy.

The pirates had come to attack them, and it was over so quickly?

And their side hadn’t lost a single person, while the pirates’ bodies covered the sea surface.

Under Olin’s repeated loud urging, the others finally snapped back to reality.

One by one, small boats were lowered from both sides.

They began to retrieve the bodies of the pirates.

Xi Ligui came over, gave him a glance, and said, “Aren’t you a Necromancer? Why didn’t you use spells?”

“A Mage’s strength lies in their mind, not in sticking to a certain spell.”

“You’re right,” Xi Ligui first agreed, then realized something, “What do you mean, are you mocking me?”

“I didn’t say that.”

Soon, they had retrieved some bodies.

Wu Heng walked over and picked two relatively intact bodies.

“Carry them to the cabin!”

…

Inside the cabin.

Wu Heng invoked ‘Communicate with the dead,’ and the bodies sat up immediately.

“Is Sha Naila still alive?” Wu Heng asked.

The body answered, “She should be still alive!”

Both were taken aback.

Wu Heng pressed on, “What do you mean ‘she should be’ still alive?”

“When I left, that woman used some kind of artifact to seal herself up. She was alive then,” the body replied.

So, it meant that the body wasn’t sure whether she was still alive now.

Wu Heng continued, “Which Pirate Group are you from?”

“Bloody Hand Pirate Group.”

Upon hearing this name, Xi Ligui’s brows furrowed again.

Wu Heng continued, “How many of you are left?”

“There are about five to six hundred people left on the island.”
