The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 547

Chapter 547: Chapter 454, On My Side (First Update) Chapter 547: Chapter 454, On My Side (First Update) A sudden explosion startled the pirates, who were excitedly shouting and preparing to wrap up their raid, causing them to freeze in confusion.

They turned their heads, puzzled.

The battered gate was kicked straight off its hinges and collapsed.

Gate planks crashed onto the ground.

The twilight glow streamed in like a light gauze.

Throng after throng of skeletons, clad in leather armor and wearing sailor hats, poured straight into the hall.

Lining up in a row, each held a black device, all aimed forward.

Amidst the skeletons, that familiar figure could be seen.

The Deputy Steward!

He wasn’t dead!

All the pirates widened their eyes, staring in surprise at the scene before them, some in disbelief.

They were well aware of the plans to attack the association.

Their initial target was others within the association, leaving the Deputy Steward for Captain ‘Tolga’ to deal with.

It seemed impossible that a Level 17 Fist Master had failed to kill his opponent under these circumstances.

Their gaze swept once more over the figure beside him, their hearts filled with even greater shock.

Tolga was dead.

And to everyone’s astonishment, it was ‘Tolga’ who had fallen in the execution of the plan.

The pirates started to tremble, their eyes scanning around for ways to escape.

“Skeletons are nothing; let’s fight our way out.”

“Right, let’s rush out together. If we kill that Deputy Steward, we’ll make a fortune.”

“Cut our way out.”

“Attack~!”

The pirates cheered each other on, roaring loudly.

Then, brandishing their weapons and screaming, they charged toward the gate.

Wu Heng said indifferently, “Fire. Kill them all.”

Bang bang~ bang bang!

The roar of gunfire was deafening, and a barrage of bullets spread over them like a vast net.

Sometimes, Wu Heng truly felt fortunate that the world had developed in the direction of magic runes instead of guns and cannons.

It allowed him to make use of these relatively easy-to-manufacture weapons, unleashing lethal force these people did not possess.

Even against foes of higher level.

There remained weapons of even greater power available.

Machine cannons, missiles…

And perhaps a Level 20 hero, were their demise still determined by the state of their flesh.

Could not withstand the force of a missile.

The sound of gunfire continued to erupt uninterrupted, pouring down on them as if it cost nothing.

The charging pirates fell like wheat, mown down row by row.

Before long, there were scarcely any left.

“Don’t let them get away,” Wu Heng instructed.

The rifle-wielding skeletons advanced while continually firing.

They killed all the pirates attempting to flee through the windows on both sides.

The injured pirates on the ground, crying out in pain,
were systematically shot dead by skeletons.

The hall once again fell eerily quiet.

“Tolga, take some skeletons and check upstairs and downstairs. If there are any pirates left, kill them. If not, take them into custody,” Wu Heng ordered.

A Level 17 Skeleton Boxer moved out of formation.

Taking a few skeletons with him, he hurried up the stairs.

Wu Heng glanced around the hall, at the shattered furniture, blood-stained walls, and the arrows embedded in them.

The ground was littered with corpses and debris, with pools of blood collecting in hollows.

He instructed the skeletons to retrieve the firearms from beneath the bodies before casting [Battleground of Remains], causing skeletons to rise from the ground.

Shaking off pieces of flesh, they bent down to pick up weapons from the ground.

He reordered the defenses.

Wu Heng then continued to the door of the training room and called inside, “Wei’er, you can come out now. It’s safe outside.”

There was no response from inside.

Off to the side, a tiny white owl inspected from afar.

Recognizing it was indeed Wu Heng, it chirped twice and landed on his shoulder.

Behind the door of the training room,
sounds of moving objects began to emerge.

Soon, the training room door swung open, and Andre Willow, Moya, Cavina, as well as the squad members and staff, came out in succession.

Most of them bore injuries.

But as long as they weren’t fatal or involving organ loss, they weren’t a big issue.

Wu Heng looked at Andre Willow and Cavina, relieved that they had no significant injuries.

Andre Willow, with a joyful expression, approached, “Deputy Steward, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

The others also called out, “Deputy Steward, sir!”

Wu Heng nodded and said, “The battle isn’t over yet. Pirates could attack us again at any moment. Those who are injured should rest, while everyone else, start fixing the doors and windows to prepare for any upcoming dangers.”

“Yes!” everyone replied, their voices tinged with newfound confidence.

…

Residential area.

Shanaela began mustering all the trade representatives’ guards, temporarily gathering quite a number of hands.

Apart from the people who were already there,
she also called for other nearby residents, explaining the current situation and gathering everyone together.

Gold and Silver Island was a trade hub.

Most who owned residences on the island were top executives of trading companies.

As everyone came together, their faces were filled with panic and confusion.

“Has the Island Master turned pirate again? Wasn’t he pardoned? What’s the benefit in being a pirate?”

“Well, speak up, it’s impossible!”

“What do we do now?”

There were those who refused to believe the news that the Island Master intended to slaughter everyone on the island.

From a standpoint of benefit,
why would someone pardoned return to being a pirate? It didn’t make sense.

But the scene before them could not be faked.

The bodies of pirates and guards were piled on the ground.

No one would have allowed this many pirates onto the island unless it was permitted.

At this point, Shanaela returned with her group.
