The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 523 - 432, Ambush Ahead

Chapter 523: Chapter 432, Ambush Ahead

This is a good thing.

At least on the island, I have the upper hand.

I adjusted my cloak and tucked the pendant into my sleeve before hurrying in the direction indicated.

Half an hour later.

The sky had grown even dimmer, and there were no people to be seen around.

There were only some buildings under construction and stone-paved roads yet to be finished.

This area was still being expanded, and as a maritime trade hub, Gold and Silver Island’s layout was struggling to keep pace with its development.

Finally, I arrived at the location indicated by the pendant.

In the distance stood a two-story stone building, with the glow of firelight visible from within.

It went without saying that the person should be inside.

I hid myself in the dim corner, and took the pendant back into the Space Ring.

Then, two Ghosts appeared beside me, one on either side.

“Uncle, where is this?” Xiao Xiao had just come out and was still unaware of what had happened.

Glenda had just cooperated in taking a hairband and knew a little about the situation.

Wu Heng pointed towards the distant stone building, “I have an informant who was kidnapped and is inside that building. Xiao Xiao, go scout out the house to confirm the enemy’s levels and numbers.”

“Alright!” Xiao Xiao replied and flew out immediately.

Wu Heng then looked at Glenda, “Check the other nearby buildings to see if there is anyone else lying in ambush here.”

Glenda also turned invisible and flew out.

Within a few minutes, an invisible Xiao Xiao flew back.

“There are five people inside, two of whom are above level 10, the rest are below level 10.”

Just those five?

“Let me have a look!”

Xiao Xiao entered my body, and immediately shared the inside view of the building.

Inside the stone building, the structure was made of primitive brick walls, and around a wooden table sat five people.

Three had iron swords at their waists, one with a curved blade and another a crossbowman.

It matched the intelligence report completely.

On the table, there was some food and beer.

A man with a round shield on his arm and a one-handed sword in front of him took a swig of beer, “They didn’t send her out to sea as agreed, why didn’t they just kill her, carrying her around is troublesome.”

The crossbowman said, “She must still be of use, or maybe someone plans to enjoy her before killing her, after all, she doesn’t look bad.”

The one with the curved blade added, “How we get paid to do the job is all that matters, as long as we’re not short on money at the end, why bother with anything else.”

“Chatting away your free time, why be so serious about it.”

Among them, the Round Shield Warrior and the man with the curved blade were level 10 professionals.

The rest also glowed strongly, but they hadn’t reached level 10; they appeared to be around levels 8 or 9.

Then, Xiao Xiao flew up to the second floor, which was empty.

And then flew down to the basement.

There, I saw Millicent tied to a chair.

She bore no injuries on the outside, and her clothes were intact.

But she leaned to one side, her head askew, her eyes dull and lifeless.

The shared vision ended, and I let Xiao Xiao out.

“I’ve seen this auntie before, isn’t she the one from the pirate ship we encountered before?” Xiao Xiao said.

“You remember so well?”

“So she’s turned over a new leaf now?”

“Sort of, now she’s gathering information for me.”

While the person and the spirit spoke, Glenda also flew back from a distance and said, “I found some people in two buildings, about ten people each, fully armed and armored; they must be prepared for you.”

There really were other people.

Having the power to mobilize so many on the island.

Made Wu Heng even more curious about the identity of those behind this kidnapping.

Wu Heng pondered his next plan in mind.

Glenda, having heard the situation from ‘Xiao Xiao,’ analyzed, “For you, rescuing her wouldn’t be difficult, but you need to think about the sequence of actions. If you strike at your people outside first, the five guarding your informant might kill her straight away, but if you rescue her first, the people around will come to attack you. I suggest using the Skeletons from your other world, or getting the association to act.”

Wu Heng also reflected on this.

If he decided to use the Skeletons, he would have to kill everyone.

Of course, given the number and level of the Skeletons, this wouldn’t be difficult.

“Okay, I got it,” Wu Heng said as he climbed over a courtyard wall and into a house.

Inside the room, he found a wooden door and took out a key to open the boundary door.

…

The night grew deeper.

Wu Heng, followed by several skeletons, quickly approached the target house.

Inside the building, five people were still chatting away.

“This night is so dull, why don’t we take her for a spin first? We’re gonna kill her in the end anyway.” The crossbowman took a sip of his drink and gestured, “Ass so big, must feel damn good.”

Hearing this, the others began to feel an itch in their hearts as well.

“What if she asks questions? She might use that as an excuse to dock our pay.”

The crossbowman cursed, “Fuck, scared of what? Just clean her up a bit. With her out of her mind like now, could she even get the chance to say anything?”

“Alright, then you carry her over. Even just getting a feel would be better than doing nothing.”

“I’m on it.” The crossbowman said and was about to head towards the basement.

Thud, thud, thud~!

Suddenly, footsteps came from the doorway.

Before they could react.

Bang~!

The door was kicked open, and a sword-wielding figure appeared before them.

With one hand on the ground, a mist instantly spread, and the figure vanished just as quickly.

At the same time, the furthest crossbowman’s expression changed in shock, and his body shot forward.

Whoosh~!

A cold gleam sliced past the back of his neck.

The momentum of his lunge allowed him to avoid decapitation, but it still opened up a huge gash in his neck, blood spurting like a fountain.

“Damn it, save me!” The crossbowman grabbed the back of his neck, staggering.

The rest were startled too.

They immediately grabbed the weapons on the table, ready to fight back.

But the sword-wielding figure had already retreated into the basement, guarding the bottom of the stairs.

At the entrance, a figure in black leather armor over a robe emerged slowly from the fog.

They pointed the dark iron device in their hand toward the few people inside the room.

Bang, bang, bang~!

Piercing blasts rang out in rapid succession, and a barrage of bullets whistled out like rain.

The crossbowman, whose neck had been severely injured, was instantly turned into a sieve.

The round shield warrior lifted his shield.

The scimitar and the others flipped the wooden table over to use as cover.

Bullets swept across where they hid.

Tables and chairs shattered, the round shield disintegrated in an instant, and bullet holes peppered the walls.

Their bodies kept trembling, exploding with one blood hole after another.

The gunfire stopped.

Five bodies now lay in pools of blood.

Especially the round shield warrior, whose shield was also utterly wrecked.

…

After confirming the five were dead and no other danger was present,

Wu Heng hurried down the stairs to the basement.

The area below was even darker; he cast the “Dancing Light Skill” to illuminate the surroundings and then saw Millicent tied to a chair.

It was the same scene he had shared with Xiao Xiao.

Her head lolled to the side, eyes open, staring blankly.

“Millicent! Wake up, what’s wrong with you?” Wu Heng slapped her face.

Millicent’s gaze flickered with lucidity for a moment, then became vacant again.

Wu Heng untied her ropes.

Glenda and Xiao Xiao also flew back.

“The bad guys are all dead.”

Glenda added, “I’ve killed them all on my end too, no one got away.”

“That’s good.” Wu Heng nodded.

Glenda looked at ‘Millicent’ and said, “She’s been given a Stupefying Potion, she won’t recover any time soon.”

“What about the Detoxifying Potion?” Wu Heng asked, and still, he pulled out a bottle of elixir.

He pried open ‘Millicent’s’ mouth and poured it down her throat.

She was like a paralyzed person.

It was uncertain how much she swallowed; more of it streamed down her cheeks, covering her body.

He poured two bottles in succession.

Seeing she still could not be roused, he decided not to linger.

He simply picked her up and walked out.

Just as he ascended the stairs, his pupils suddenly constricted.

He saw a tamed eagle beast, attempting to pull out the tongues from the corpses’ mouths.
