The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 473 - 388, Old Friend Arrives

Chapter 473: Chapter 388, Old Friend Arrives

The captain of the Hand of the Demon sat down in the seat beside him, made a light tapping motion on the shoulder similar to a religious blessing, and said, “I’ve already contacted several other Pirate Groups. We’ll test the actions of the Gold and Silver Island Association, lure Wu Heng out, encircle him, and kill him.”

Tap, tap, tap~!

The sound of footsteps lightly arose.

In the bedroom, a woman wearing a fiery-red nightgown slowly walked out, her hair loose and wild, her face seductively attractive. She looked directly at him and said, “That’s a very bold idea. Aren’t you afraid of death? ‘Imilo’ won’t let you bully his people.”

The man continued, “That’s exactly why I’ve come to you. I need you to restrain ‘Imilo’ so long as he does not intervene, we will find a way to kill the kid and leave.”

“So you want me to take the bullets for you? Are you seeking death?” The woman’s voice suddenly turned cold.

...

“No, no, I don’t need you to make a move, which wouldn’t count as confronting Imilo. Given his personality, even if he suspects something, he won’t make a move on you, and he certainly won’t get the Association to put a bounty on your head.”

“What do you mean?”

“You just have to set foot on Gold and Silver Island. Imilo will naturally pay attention to you. As long as you stay on the island for a day, he won’t rashly leave the island, giving us more opportunities,” the man said with confidence.

The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly, just doing this much.

It seemed acceptable.

“What about my compensation?”

The man was silent for a few seconds, “200 Gold Coins, a warship, and should you need any assistance at sea, I can help you.”

The woman pondered for a few seconds, “I want to take Wu Heng’s body with me.”

“What do you want his body for? It’d be best to destroy it on the spot. Keeping the body might create hidden dangers.”

The woman still looked at him, “Bring back the body, and I’ll agree to your terms.”

The man looked directly at her, and after taking a deep breath, said, “Fine, we set out tomorrow. I need you to reach Gold and Silver Island within three days.”

After speaking, he jumped back out of the window.

Vanishing into the night.

The woman sat at the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank silently.

Staring at the night outside the window.

…

The next day.

After arriving at the Association, Wu Heng first went to the Steward’s Office.

He recounted the information provided by ‘Philippa’ and how he had killed the members of the Poison Crocodile Pirate Group.

Imilo showed a trace of surprise and appreciation for their efficient completion of the pirates’ capture.

Wu Heng’s actions were different from others.

He hardly ever mobilized a squad and would disappear for days, then return with the bodies of the fugitives on the wanted posters.

Now, even if he didn’t come to the Association for several days.

Imilo believed that he was investigating fugitives and no longer brought up the issue of his absence or the need for him to stay at the Association.

“Alright, you’ve done well. I will credit her for this intelligence.”

“Thank you, Steward,” said Wu Heng, before leaving the office.

…

He returned to his own office.

Andre Willow was organizing files in the office.

“Master, the Association’s wanted posters have been updated this morning. Here are the newly supplemented wanted files.”

Several wanted posters were brought over.

Wu Heng took them and saw that indeed, a few Pirate Groups and several major criminals had been added.

In the current social environment, it was difficult to stop pirates.

Newly established Pirate Groups or pirates that had split due to infighting could result in new pirate organizations.

Wu Heng took out a tablet to photograph the new wanted posters for future reference.

Knock, knock, knock~!

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Andre Willow opened the door to see a figure standing outside.

“Is this Deputy Steward Wu Heng’s office?”

“It is. And you are?” asked Andre Willow.

“I’m the new captain of the 11th Squad, ‘Cavina’. I’ve worked with Deputy Steward Wu Heng in the past.”

Andre Willow thought for a moment and immediately remembered the matter of the previous letter.

She smiled and said, “So you’re ‘Cavina’ sister. The Deputy Steward often mentions your time together in Black Stone Town.”

Saying that, she stepped aside and led her into the office.

“Ah? Does he now?” Cavina had not expected that he would have mentioned her.

She felt a bit surprised.

Upon entering the office,

she saw Wu Heng sitting behind the desk. Cavina’s face brightened with a smile, “Wu Heng… Deputy Steward.”

Wu Heng also sized her up.

She appeared much the same as in his memory, yet seemed more mature, her expression carrying the resolute manner of a Swordsman.

“Cavina, you arrived quickly.”

“After receiving your letter, I thought about it and decided to apply for a transfer here. I’ll be counting on you from now on,” said Cavina, somewhat reservedly.

At that moment, Andre Willow brought her tea and pastries.

She also looked curiously up and down.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully you,”

With a smile, Cavina didn’t say much more.

“Have you finished the job induction?” Wu Heng continued to ask.

Cavina replied, “I’ve submitted the appointment letter to Steward ‘Imilo’. I’m now the captain of Squad 11.”

“Good, it’s fine as long as you’ve successfully joined. Have you sorted out your living arrangements?” Wu Heng continued.

“Not yet, I’ll look into it and rent a place when I have time.”

After thinking for a moment, Wu Heng said, “I have many rooms in my house. I can give you one, or I can get you a dormitory from the association. I lived there when I first arrived; it’s free and pretty decent.”

Glancing at the beast-eared assistant nearby, Cavina said, “I’ll just stay at the dormitory.”

“Alright, I’ll get you a move-in application later, so you can move in straight away.”

“Thank you,” Cavina thanked him.

Having someone help makes many things much simpler.

And things weren’t that complicated at all.

Cavina continued to ask, “Is there anything in particular I should be aware of around Gold and Silver Island?”

After some thought, Wu Heng said, “The main threat on Gold and Silver Island is the pirates, but with Steward Imilo in charge, hardly any pirates dare to come close. You don’t have much to do; just wait until the association assigns the rest of your team members, and then look for missions.”

“Okay. There are many different races here; are there any taboos I should be aware of?”

“Well… I’m not very clear on that aspect myself. Normal interactions are fine; there aren’t many taboos.”

“Oh, okay!”

“By the way, what level are you now?” Wu Heng continued to inquire.

Cavina glanced again at the assistant nearby but still answered, “Level 8!”

“How did you level up so quickly?” Wu Heng was a little surprised.

Cavina’s leveling speed was not considered slow.

Moreover, she met the level requirement for a captain.

“Am I really that fast compared to you?” Cavina looked at him.

“You can’t compare it like that. I’m a Mage, relying on skeleton attendants. You are relying on your own solid strength,” Wu Heng explained.

“There’s no need to flatter each other like this!”

Wu Heng nodded and continued, “Do you have any requirements for your squad members? If there’s a suitable candidate, I’ll arrange for them to join your squad.”

“It’s really nice to have a backer,” Cavina remarked before saying, “I need a Ranger and preferably a magical professional. There are no particular requirements for the rest.”

A Ranger is a staple in each squad.

Tamed Beasts continue to be the main scouting method.

For magical professionals, it’s a bit more challenging; magicians and mages are rather rare on Gold and Silver Island and are unlikely to readily join professional squads for adventuring.

“Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for you,” Wu Heng responded.

“Did they inform you about the captain’s wedding?” Cavina asked.

“No, but he wrote me a letter when he was dating the captain of Squad 2,” Wu Heng said.

“At that time, you must have been transferred, so they didn’t inform you.”

“Yeah, I would have been on the road then, and even if he had written, I wouldn’t have been able to receive it.”

“I never thought that the captain would end up with Captain Tulisa,” Cavina remarked, recalling.

“I’ve seen them on several dates; it’s pretty late for them to finally get together.”

“Really!”

“Yeah.”

After chatting for a while, Wu Heng processed a pass for her for the dormitory.

He had Andre Willow take her to choose a room while also showing her the functions of the various areas of the association.

Cavina’s arrival was also good news for him.

They had maintained a good relationship and kept in touch through letters.

In future operations, it was like having a squad that he could command.

And the cost to buy her out was much higher, making it unlikely that she would betray him easily.

The two women left.

Wu Heng tidied up briefly before returning to his place.

…

Back at his residence.

He entered his study and opened a boundary door directly to the Zombie World.

Kalemah was still sitting in front of the desk reading a book, already halfway through [Corpse Battlefield].

He estimated he would finish it soon.

If he mastered [Corpse Battlefield], he could completely replace Wu Heng’s role.

Direct command of the Skeleton Army to clear out zombies.

He could also gain experience for himself.

Taking his eyes off the book, he picked up the recharged walkie-talkie and called for Qi Hancai.

Soon after, Qi Hancai came up from downstairs.

“The military has withdrawn, and before leaving, they sold us a large amount of military equipment and machinery.”
