The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 542

Chapter 542: Chapter 451, Surrender, Vice-executive Chapter 542: Chapter 451, Surrender, Vice-executive “`
Had Deputy Steward Wu Heng arranged for someone to pick them up?

Recently, Deputy Steward Wu Heng had been mentioning daily the dangers on the island, advising them not to leave the house on normal days.

Even the folks from ‘Sha Naila’ had been adjusting their personnel, and when they occasionally came over, they would also suggest leaving Gold and Silver Island first.

They would return to deal with the aftermath once everything was over.

Millicent slapped the dirt off her hands and stood up, ready to open the door.

Hush~!

Mini grabbed her and made a gesture to stay quiet, then called toward the door, “We’re going to change our clothes, please wait a moment.”

There was a moment of hesitation outside, but the voice still called out, “The vice-executive is quite in a hurry, please be quick.”

“Understood.”

Mini replied, quietly giving orders to the skeletons nearby, then pulled Millicent back into the house.

They quickly made their way to the third floor balcony and looked out over the courtyard wall.

From this angle, they could see part of the road outside the wall; everything looked normal, with no changes.

“Miss Mini, is something wrong outside?” Millicent asked with concern.

“The master had added those weapons here this morning; there’s no way he would just take us away,” Mini replied, choosing not to explain further.

Having spent a long time with Wu Heng, Mini was well aware of his arrangements.

If the people outside had been sent by Wu Heng,
they wouldn’t be talking about taking them away but about removing all the forces, at the very least the Alchemy Skeletons and the elixir materials from the fourth floor.

So, those people outside were just trying to deceive them into leaving.

The people capable of such deception weren’t hard to guess.

The Guard Team that last time had tried to enter to check residency information and had been directly thrown out.

Mini patted the machine cannon-equipped skeleton on the balcony, “Prepare for battle. If someone tries to force their way in, attack them immediately.”

Click-clack click-clack~!

The machine cannon turned, aiming toward the entrance.

Outside the courtyard.

A line of figures stood flush against the wall, holding weapons, waiting for the gate to open.

But after quite a while, there was still no movement from inside.

“Call out,” a man said in a lowered voice.

The person by the door immediately called out, “Miss, how much longer do you need?”

“It’s getting late, let’s hurry over so as not to worry the vice-executive.”

“We are truly from the association, and if it takes too long, the vice-executive will blame us.”

After several shouts, there was still no response from inside.

The man calling at the door looked serious, “I’ll go tell the leader, she must have sensed something.”

Saying so, he walked toward one side.

Turning the corner,
there was a large crowd, some uniformed in the Guard Team’s attire, others dressed in a disorderly pirate fashion.

They stood scattered, awaiting news.

“Leader, they are not coming out. They must have sensed something’s wrong,” one said to the silver-armored leader.

The leader spat disdainfully, “Just attack straight away, but be careful with the skeletons inside, and don’t kill that doe.”

Whoosh~!

At the word, several Tamed Beasts soared into the sky.

Circling above the building.

Then, the waiting soldiers surged quickly onto the road.

…

Inside the building.

The two women still stood on the balcony, anxiously watching the position of the main gate.

Even as they trusted their master had arranged everything well, their hearts started pounding, and they became nervous.

Whoosh~!

Suddenly, the sound of something cutting through air was heard.

Mini instinctively reached out to snatch an arrow out of the air in front of Millicent’s face, holding it tightly in her hand before casually throwing it out of the window.

Then, grabbing Millicent, she ducked back into the room.

It was only then that Millicent realized what had happened, her face showing delayed shock.

“Jus-, just now…?”

“It’s okay, don’t panic,” Mini said in a soft voice.

Peering out again,
several bombs were thrown over the wall one after another.

Whoosh~!

The bombs detonated, the fire fanned by the wind, forming whirlwinds.

Clang~!

After the explosions had subsided,
the door was violently smashed open, and a mix of guards and pirates poured in through the gate.

“Attack, kill them all,”
Bang bang bang~!

The machine gunner on the balcony began to squeeze the trigger.

“`
Bullets rained down like droplets, covering the crowd below.

In the blink of an eye, the pirates, who had been shouting excitedly, were turned into a heap of corpses and debris.

Blood and flesh were scattered all around.

At the same time, the armored vehicles in the courtyard also began to fire.

Boom, boom, boom~!

The machine cannon fire was directed straight at the wall in front.

The wall crumbled, and the pirates climbing over it or hiding behind it were turned into a mist of blood.

Bullets and shells ceaselessly shot towards the front.

The attacking enemies suffered heavy casualties; the few who survived cried out as they scrambled away in disarray.

“Thief No.1, Ranger No.1, take a few skeletons out for a look around. If there are still enemies, continue the fight, but don’t chase too far,” Mini continued to instruct.

Level 15 Thief Skeletons, and a Level 15 Ranger, led a few skeletons.

They stepped over the ground littered with flesh and rubble and went straight out.

After a quick check around, they swiftly returned.

It seemed they had driven those people away.

“Mini, what happened?”

Lady Shanaila, clad in armor, approached swiftly with the steward and the Guard Team.

She walked straight into the room.

Mini threw herself into her arms, saying, “Someone’s trying to capture us; something must have gone wrong.”

“Are you hurt?” Shanaila asked.

“No.”

“First put on your armor, we can talk about the rest later,” Shanaila said directly.

Mini and Millicent moved aside to start putting on their armor.

At that moment, Lady Shanaila’s steward also returned.

“I’ve checked it. They are the local Guard Team members, and those with disorganized attire must be pirates,” she reported.

Shanaila’s expression grew even uglier.

She also had a guess as to what had happened.

“Arrange for people to help defend; we’ll protect this place together.”

“Yes, my lady,” the female steward immediately organized the defenses, repairing the fortifications.

Tap, tap, tap~!

At this moment, doors of other nearby residences also began to open one after another.

“Lady Shanaila, what… what has happened?”

“Chairwoman Shanaila, how did it come to this?”

Most of those living here were representatives of trading companies.

They had been observing the situation and, once the fighting ended, they came out to ask what had happened.

Shanaila looked at the crowd, “The pirates have landed on the island. Everyone should know what’s at stake. When they come again, we will all repel them together, or we’ll all die on this island.”

Everyone’s face turned pale.

Glancing at the torn bodies on the ground, they still nodded in agreement.

…

The Association.

The main gate was tightly closed; Wu Heng issued defense tasks to all remaining personnel.

In addition to the remaining squads, Association staff and guards were all mobilized for subsequent actions.

As ‘Imilo’ had instructed, Wu Heng was to hold this ground.

If things didn’t go well for him and Xi Ligui, they could still retreat to the Association. If this place fell, everyone would be scattered.

Once everyone had a basic understanding of the situation,
they immediately took action, heading to their respective posts.

“Master, five bodies in the morgue, and the seven pirates in the dungeon have all been executed. Their corpses are here,” Andre Willow quickly approached.

Behind her, the guards carried twelve bodies and placed them on the open ground in front of them.

Wu Heng immediately activated [Corpse Battlefield], and all twelve bodies were transformed into carrions, slowly standing up.

He took out machine guns and rifles and distributed them to several carrions.

While continuing to delegate tasks,
Ghost Xiao Xiao flew down from above.

She went straight into the body, sharing the vision, which also emerged in the mind.

On the main street in front of the Association’s gate, a crowd surged forward, and from Xiao Xiao’s bird’s-eye view, it was all heads.

The man leading them was burly, dressed in a tight black leather armor.

A pair of tiger claws hung around his waist.

He radiated a strong red glow, not quite at level 18 but very close.

The several individuals behind him were neatly at level 15, followed by a large group of pirates with varying glows.

At least a thousand strong.

“They really think highly of the Association, huh.”

The large group approached the Association and stopped at some distance.

The man in the lead cleared his throat.

He shouted, “Deputy Steward Wu Heng, why not bring your people out to surrender? You might save everyone’s lives.”
