The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 471: Chapter 386, I Have the Intelligence! (Seeking Monthly Pass…)

Glenda liked to read books, so she naturally had come across this type of book or story before.

Curiously she asked, “What if I really do go soft and forgive him, what will you do?”

“What can I do? I just hope the next time you get killed, it will be a little more comfortable.”

Glenda shifted to another position and said, “Don’t worry, what you’re talking about only happens in romance novels. If you help me, even if he really is alive now, he’s no better than you.”

“Hmm!”

The two of them chatted.

Xiao Xiao flew back from the neighboring room.

She said, “I’m back.”

“How was your conversation with your mother?” Wu Heng asked.

“It was good, she’s gained a lot of weight, thanks Uncle for taking care of my mom.”

“Family should take care of each other.”

“Mmm-hmm!”

Wu Heng stood up and ordered “Kalemah”, “Follow me and leave this place.”

Kalemah stood up and followed behind him.

After Wu Heng collected several books on the desk,

he returned to the rooftop, mounted the Skeleton Flying Dragon, and left.

He went back to the market.

Wu Heng arranged for “Kalemah” to continue reading books in his room.

The second book chosen was [Corpse Battlefield], all about skills for transforming corpses.

He had learned the Bone Manipulation Skill in advance because it was a prerequisite skill. Without it, the ‘Corpse Battlefield’ couldn’t be cast.

After settling Kalemah in,

Wu Heng continued by calling over Qi Hancai to discuss some matters regarding factory development.

Then, he returned to Gold and Silver Island via the boundary door.

…

Descending from the fourth floor,

he walked onto the third floor and directly entered the room where the radio was kept.

After looking at the logbook, he directly picked up the microphone and asked, “Philippa, are you there?”

Soon, Philippa’s response came from the other side, “I’m here, what’s up?”

“Why couldn’t I get in touch with you yesterday?”

“I didn’t hear it, and I can’t stay here chatting with you all day. I’m a captain, you know; I’m quite busy,” Philippa said with a bit of pride.

Yesterday, he had tried to contact Philippa, but no one was on the other side.

He nearly believed that something had happened to her.

“You can arrange for a skeleton to stand by the radio and take some notes; then you’ll know if I’ve tried to contact you,” Wu Heng suggested.

“Okay, I’ll arrange for one. Is there something you need from me?”

Wu Heng continued, “I spoke to the Steward about your situation. He promised that if you could provide information for three Tier 3 Fugitive warrants and the information leads to successful captures, he will let you join the association and become a member of the ‘Secret Speakers’.”

“Wow! Really?” Philippa exclaimed, then asked, “What are ‘Secret Speakers’?”

“It’s an institution within the association specialized in gathering information. Some will be arranged to join teams within the association, while others, like you, will act as spies within various forces,” Wu Heng explained based on his understanding.

“Oh, what are the benefits of joining?”

“This means you are now a member of the association. Some things can be handled better, and if you ever face danger, you can seek refuge with the local association straight away. The most important point is, when you’re no longer a pirate, it’ll be easier for you to sever ties with the pirates. In short, there are benefits and no drawbacks,” Wu Heng thought for a moment before explaining.

“Is there a payment?”

“There’s a settlement every month. I didn’t ask how much. We’ll talk about that after you join.”

“Oh, then give it to my mom when the time comes!”

“Sure!”

“So when I join the association, we will be members together. Will you still take care of me then?” Philippa suddenly asked in a softer voice.

It sounded like she was still somewhat dependent on him.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Giving money by the bucketful, the association might not necessarily support a spy to such an extent.

Wu Heng replied, “You’re still under my charge. Joining the association is to make you safer in the future.”

“Then tell my mom that I’m now a member of the association and have made something of myself.”

“You’re not yet a member. You have to complete the information for three warrants first before you actually join the association.”

“But I do have information now,” Philippa suddenly said.

Wu Heng’s brows furrowed, “What information?”

“When I was selling the goods from that ship you gave me, I heard that the ‘Black Crocodile Pirate Group’ will be docking at Horseshoe Island for a few days. Why don’t you go there and kill them!” Philippa said.

Wu Heng opened his tablet and compared it with the positions of the islands on the sea.

He found the Horseshoe Island she mentioned in the south.

It seemed like a rather small island.

The distance was somewhat far; it would take about two days to get there from Gold and Silver Island.

“If I leave right now, I’ll need at least two days to get there. Will they stay there?”

“They should. They plan to raid the merchant fleets there. If you go straight over, there’s a high probability you’ll encounter them,” Philippa said, though her tone wasn’t too certain.

The movements of pirates were hard to predict,

and that was also the hardest part of catching them.

After thinking it over, Wu Heng decided to agree, “Alright, I’ll prepare and go have a look. If I can kill the target, I’ll credit it to you.”

“Mmm, whether or not I become a Secret Speaker depends on you helping me out!”

Wu Heng continued, “There’s one more thing – pay attention.”

“What is it?”

“Recently, the association lost an ‘Inspector Special Envoy’. The Steward suspects it was the work of pirates. Keep an eye out for any related information. If you hear anything about it, remember to report to me immediately,” Wu Heng mentioned Kalemah’s situation.

“Who? I don’t even know what an ‘Inspector Special Envoy’ is,” Philippa replied.

“It’s a position. The person’s name is Kalemah, a tall and thin middle-aged man. Just keep an eye out,” Wu Heng said.

“Oh, okay!”

“There’s nothing else for now; just be careful on your end.”

“Understood, bye dad.”

She hung up the phone.

Wu Heng reopened the map and glanced at it.

He was plotting the next step in his plan.

The distance to Horseshoe Island was a bit farther, but ‘Philippa’ had provided information, so he couldn’t ignore it.

Otherwise, there would be no point in arranging for informants.

He still needed to make the trip.

…

He walked down the stairs.

Mini, having returned from training in the courtyard, had her clothes dampened with sweat, and beads of perspiration also hung on her skin.

Seeing Wu Heng, she immediately smiled, “Master.”

“Mini has been very diligent lately!”

“Of course, Master bought such expensive tools for me, I want to use them as soon as possible, and help you like Sister Wei’er,” Mini said as she hugged his arm.

“Mini is so good.”

“Hehe!” Mini giggled happily.

Wu Heng continued to take out four elixirs and placed them on the table, “Elixirs to enhance constitution, two bottles for you and two for Wei’er. Look after each other when you drink them.”

“Thank you, Master.” Mini collected them and then asked, “Master, would you like to eat something?”

“Prepare some food for me. I have to go out soon, make preparations for two days.”

“Oh, okay!” Mini immediately complied and went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Before long, the food was ready.

Wu Heng placed it into his Space Ring, saying, “I’m going out for a bit, if anyone asks, just say I’m investigating a fugitive on the island.”

“Understood,” Mini nodded.

Wu Heng rubbed her rabbit ears and left the residence with the skeleton.

He called for a carriage and headed to the harbor.

He boarded a vessel and continued to leave Gold and Silver Island.

The ship sailed through the night.

The next evening, the ship neared the island mentioned in the intelligence.

From a distance,

he could see several pirate ships with torches lit.

They were unusually conspicuous in the dark night.

Philippa’s information was still accurate; the pirates were still lingering here.

…

He watched from a distance for a while.

Glenda flew back from a distance and reported, “There are three ships in total, each with only a few people guarding them. There are more people on the island, roughly over two hundred, dancing around a lit bonfire, and they dance quite terribly.”

“Any defenses?”

“Haven’t found any, they’re all staggering drunk. Charging in directly shouldn’t be a problem,” Glenda said.

Wu Heng nodded, “Shark Teeth, bring the ship closer.”

As the ship approached, it attracted the attention of the pirates guarding the other ships.

But no torches were lit on this side, so they could only vaguely make out the silhouette of the ship by the moonlight.

Wu Heng took out the Bronze Key and opened a boundary door on the cabin’s wooden door.

Behind it, a large number of skeletons appeared.

He gave the order, “Come out and kill the pirates on the ships and the island.”

Clatter~!

A multitude of skeletons walked out of the boundary door, leaping into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Approaching the island ahead.

Under his distant gaze,

they climbed onto the pirate ships crowdedly like ants.

More skeletons continued to approach the island.

…

Horseshoe Island.

The pirates gathered around the bonfire.

Singing and dancing, they celebrated their recent haul.

In the distance, the captain also held a cup of alcohol, continually pouring it down his throat, accompanied by flattering crew members.

Laughter, shouting,

and discussions about where to enjoy their spoils after dividing the money filled the area around the bonfire.

Just as everyone was in high spirits,

immersed in the joy,

suddenly three pirates guarding the ships ran over in a panic.

They yelled loudly, “Undead, the undead are taking the ships.”

“Captain, there are undead, lots of undead.”

“Damn it, everyone stop drinking,” the sober captain and a few others stood up.

They looked toward where the ships were docked,

and saw skeletons in leather armor appearing on the decks of the pirate ships.

“Everybody up, grab your weapons, and follow me to take back the ships,” the captain yelled as he looked back.

“Captain, over there…” someone pointed ahead with a trembling voice.

The captain looked back,

only to see the sea churning and teeming with skeletons emerging from the surface.

Wielding battle axes, they surged forward like evil spirits climbing out of the abyss.
