The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 390 - 326, Pluck Feathers to Stew Soup

Chapter 390 -326, Pluck Feathers to Stew Soup

Seeing the curious gaze from Xi Ligui.

Wu Heng was also startled, “What other people?”

Shiraz looked at him with confusion, “Didn’t you bring a squad over?”

“There was no time!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Ligui and the others all frowned at him.

One person, killing so many pirates?

The entire sea had been dyed red.

Let alone whether the other deputy stewards could do it, even Steward ‘Imilo’ might find it difficult to boast of coming out alone to rescue someone!

This was somewhat too abnormal.

Xi Ligui continued to inquire, “Didn’t the steward come with you?”

“No, I’ll explain in detail when we return, you go check this ship first to see if it still can move,” said Wu Heng straightforwardly.

“Okay!” Xi Ligui nodded.

She instructed the others to start inspecting the ship.

The battles on the other pirate ships had also ended.

Bodies were dragged out of the cabins and laid out on the deck.

Wu Heng turned them all into skeletons and then began to move the goods and money from the pirate ships.

…

Several ships were all tied together.

A large amount of goods were moved into the cabin on Wu Heng’s ship, which, besides the materials, included some gold coins and several large buckets of silver coins.

It seemed that the pirates were very fond of using wooden barrels to hold silver coins.

The several pirates that had been wiped out one after another all had barrels filled to the brim.

A huge amount of materials was piled into the cabin.

Apart from the bounties from the association, these ships and the materials in the cabins were already a significant harvest to take back.

Returning to the deck.

Shark Teeth was leading a few skeletons, retrieving sunken goods from under the sea.

There were bound to be losses.

But some coins were still salvageable and could be used again.

Before long, a squad member came over.

He said, “Deputy Steward Wu Heng, we’ve inspected the pirate ships, and three of them can be operational after repairs while the remaining one needs to be towed back.”

Out of the remaining pirate ships, which were four in total, they were definitely to be taken back.

The greatest value was in these ships.

“Then let’s tow them back.”

“Okay,” the squad member went down to prepare.

Once everything was dealt with.

The order was given to set sail for home.

The ships formed a convoy, approaching in the direction of Gold and Silver Island.

…

On the deck.

The sea breeze howled, and the splashing waves fell like raindrops.

Xi Ligui leaned on the railing, her golden hair fluttering with the sea breeze, and said, “How did you know we were in danger?”

“The steward came to pick you up a few days ago. Seeing there was no news, I took the special item for finding people and came out to check,” Wu Heng stated directly.

Xi Ligui nodded, “Thank you. If it wasn’t for you coming over, we might have been in danger.”

Wu Heng laughed, waved his hand and said, “What’s there to thank for? We’re all companions, helping each other is natural! If I’m in danger, you’d surely come to my rescue too.”

A smile appeared on Shiraz’s somewhat dirty face, “That’s true, you really are different from other necromancers. The impression you give is different.”

“Take that as a compliment!” Wu Heng said, then quickly added, “By the way, the item I use to find people requires an article of clothing or a personal belonging of the target to track their location. I went to your office and took one, but I accidentally broke the door.”

Xi Ligui didn’t mind at all, “It’s fine, just have someone fix it later. What did you take?”

Wu Heng flipped his hand, producing a hairband, “This hairband, I’m giving it back to you.”

Xi Ligui looked surprised, “I’ve been looking for this hairband for a long time. I couldn’t even remember where I put it. Well…, keep it with you for now. That way, you don’t have to break the door again the next time I’m in danger.”

“Hmm, that’s one way to do it.” Wu Heng put it away again, and Xi Ligui showed a smile.

Wu Heng leaned on the railing and continued, “Don’t just head out to sea on a whim, it’s too dangerous.”

Xi Ligui sighed and said, “The association has set targets for us, do you think I want this? Now even the ship is broken, ah~! I don’t know how I’m going to explain this to the steward when I get back.”

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “We just killed two pirate captains, one of whom was a level three fugitive. When we report it, we’ll say we killed them together to fulfill the quota first.”

Shiraz looked up at him. “How can we do that? That should be your achievement.”

On record, there’s a complete difference between a single person killing and a group killing.

Two deputy stewards, plus two squads, killed two pirate groups.

Although the quota was met.

It didn’t look that impressive.

“What use is a record, anyway?”

“That may be true, but fabricating achievements is not permitted by the association.”

“Fabricating what? You and the squad members participated too. It wouldn’t be considered fabricating.”

Xi Ligui hesitated, then glanced at the other squad members in the distance.

It wasn’t quite right that they had almost lost their lives on this venture without reaping any benefits.

Ultimately, she nodded and agreed, “Alright, thank you.”

“No need for thanks.”

“I’ll go and inform everyone, so there are no problems later,” Xi Ligui said, and then she walked toward the direction of the squad members.

She briefly explained the situation.

All the squad members saluted Wu Heng in gratitude.

Wu Heng also nodded with a smile.

He didn’t say much else.

…

The Iron Barrel Pirate Group.

Philippa sat in the captain’s cabin, joyful as she took out everything from the Space Ring.

Various supplies, a large bag of gold coins, and two whole barrels of silver coins.

This filled ‘Philippa’ with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

“Being a pirate is f*cking awesome!”

Unlike the start-up funds Wu Heng had given her, this money was obtained by her own hands—through killing and looting.

A pirate should live like a pirate.

The spoils she lent were not as satisfying as those taken with her own hands.

Humming a tune, she put away all the supplies.

Then, her gaze fell onto the iron cage on the table.

In the cage was a chubby green parrot.

Patches of its feathers were plucked, giving it the look of a chicken ready for the pot.

Philippa pulled out a dagger with a ring, and slammed it onto the wooden table.

Her eyes slightly narrowed, she looked at the parrot with ill intent and said, “Chick, now you have two choices: be stewed in soup or roasted.”

After speaking, she instinctively licked her lips.

The green parrot shivered and said in a shrill voice, “Ally, pirate code.”

“Your ally is very hungry.”

The green parrot flapped its wings, shouting, “No, traitor!”

“I didn’t expect you could communicate,” said Philippa with curiosity.

She knew the parrot could talk, but she hadn’t expected it to understand so much.

After thinking for a moment, she continued, “You’ve seen too much today, you can’t be left alive.”

“Ally! Ally!” the parrot shouted ‘ally’, shaking its head frantically.

“If you were one of our pirate crew, I wouldn’t eat you.”

The wing-flapping parrot paused for a moment, tilting its head as if it didn’t understand.

Philippa picked up the dagger again.

The parrot immediately became alert and shouted in a piercing voice, “Captain, great captain.”

Philippa drew closer to the cage, staring at the parrot, and said, “If you become my tamed beast and fail, I’ll pluck and stew you.”

The parrot spread its wings, pressed against the back of the iron cage, full of fear.
