The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 761

Chapter 761: Chapter 616, I have lived there before Chapter 761: Chapter 616, I have lived there before Noon, Wu Heng returned to the Island Lord’s Mansion.

After having lunch with the maids, Wu Heng selected 20 level 10 Skeletons in the courtyard and took them back to the study with him.

After opening the boundary door, he walked straight in.

On the other side of the boundary door was still the hotel’s luxurious suite.

“You go to the inner room first,” Wu Heng ordered.

The Skeletons that followed him turned, opened the door, and entered the bedroom inside.

Wu Heng put on a coat.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Qi Hancai, can you hear me?”

“I can hear you!” Qi Hancai’s voice came through.

“Come to the suite.”

“Received!”

Not long after ending the conversation, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Heng looked up and gestured, and the Skeleton Kashu opened the door, and Qi Hancai walked in directly with a little owl.

“No problems, I hope?” Wu Heng inquired.

Qi Hancai sat down on one side and said, “The survivors in the base are all fine, the noodles cooked for them last night didn’t incite any rebellious sentiments.

The captives attempted to kill the guarding Skeletons and break out in the middle of the night. The Skeletons were not damaged; several of the escapees were killed.”

Wu Heng frowned, “So many Skeletons standing guard, and they still wanted to escape?”

“They probably thought they were more formidable than the Skeletons. Oh, Qian Chengfeng died in there,” Qi Hancai answered.

Wu Heng didn’t say much more; if he was dead, he was dead.

“Are there any survivors who can pilot a military ship?”

“Yes, two of them are active-duty soldiers from the ship. I was worried about complications, so I locked them up separately,” answered Qi Hancai.

“Bring them here,” Wu Heng said.

“Okay!” Qi Hancai left the room.

When she returned, Skeletons were escorting two men behind her, along with the interpreter Singh.

Singh spoke directly, “This is our leader. Answer whatever he asks you.”

The two men’s expressions stiffened, and they immediately saluted respectfully.

From their attitudes, they seemed quite acceptable.

“What are your names?” Wu Heng asked in Korean.

The first man answered, “Li Chengxun.”

The second man said, “Liu Zeyu.”

“You are soldiers from the port’s military ship?” Wu Heng inquired further.

Wu Heng then asked, “What is the name of this military ship? What weapons and features does it have?”

Li Chengxun answered, “Incheon-class frigate, with a displacement of 2300 tons…”
Wu Heng turned to the other man and asked, “What weapons does it carry?”

The questioned man immediately responded, “Five-inch naval guns, RAM short-range surface-to-air missiles.”

Judging by the speed of their responses, they likely came off the ship.

Otherwise, they couldn’t recite this information so quickly.

Wu Heng continued, “How many people are required to operate this escort ship?”

“Three can navigate normally.”

“Do you know how?”

“Yes.”

“I know too…”
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, “You both know?”

Li Chengxun explained, “Everyone has to systematically study everything once on board to ensure any vacancies can be filled quickly.”

Wu Heng nodded, then glanced at the two men again and asked, “Do you want to live?”

“Yes, yes!” The two men nodded hurriedly.

“I’ll give you a chance. If you do well, you can still enjoy a decent life. If not, you can probably guess the consequences,” Wu Heng stated plainly.

The two men trembled, bowing deeply, “We are willing to be loyal to you.”

“Qi Hancai, take the Skeletons out of the bedroom,” Wu Heng directed towards the room beside him.

Qi Hancai went over and opened the bedroom door, and twenty Skeletons in leather armor with weapons hanging from their waists walked out.

The two men began to panic.

Their bodies also retreated several steps.

Wu Heng pointed to the skeletons and said, “Your task is to teach these twenty skeletons how to pilot a warship and use weapons. Can you do it?”

The two who retreated to the corner of the wall were both surprised in their eyes.

Teach skeletons to sail?

How do you even communicate with these things?

But faced with the only choice, they could only nod in agreement, “Yes, we’ll do our best.”

“Good, it’s great to have confidence.” Wu Heng looked at Singh, “Take them down to rest. Training for these skeletons starts tomorrow.”

“Yes, leader.” Singh nodded, leading the two men and the twenty skeletons out.

The door closed.

Wu Heng then said to Qi Hancai, “When they go aboard the ship, arrange for someone to follow them, don’t let them sail away.”

“I’ll follow them tomorrow. With skeletons there, these two won’t be able to escape,” said Qi Hancai with a smile.

“Arrange some more, there might still be weapons on the warship,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Understood!” Qi Hancai continued, “Our people will also come over tomorrow, and it will be more convenient to manage when that happens.”

“Do we have someone who knows how to pilot a ship?”

“We found two people who know how to sail.”

“Very good, first have them bring people over, then also train the skeletons. Later we’ll let the skeletons handle the piloting.”

“Alright.”

They talked a bit about the details of the base.

Qi Hancai took him around the base.

Unlike the initial refugee shacks, this time almost every person had been allocated a house.

However, the problem of dining was still being handled through a mass distribution in the square.

As Wu Heng walked around, he also drew quite a bit of attention.

People gathered together and whispered among themselves.

After inspecting the base.

Wu Heng then returned to his suite.

…

At the Island Master’s Manor, in the living room.

Shanaela held an effect drawing and introduced it, “This is the interior decoration plan for the exhibition. I discussed it with the ‘Youssef’ designer, and since you weren’t here these past days, I went ahead and decided on the decoration.”

The effect drawing was not a modern printed image, but a hand-drawn plan.

But the effect was still very clear.

The whole decoration style was closer to that of the consortium’s previous auctions, retro and luxurious.

“How many merchant caravans are preparing to join the exhibition?” Wu Heng asked.

“Almost all are joining. They will come over one after another in the next few days. I’ve also written to some friends in the area, and they might come to see this exhibition,” Shanaela said.

“With your help, everything goes smoothly for me,” Wu Heng hugged her shoulder.

Shanaela glanced at the maid not far away and shook off his hand, “What are you doing? We’re still outside.”

“Master, Sister Shanaela, dinner is ready,” Mini’s voice came from the kitchen.

The two stood up and walked towards the dining room.

…

Emerald Sea.

Inside the cargo ship’s cabin.

The Illuminating Stone chandelier above the dining table swayed slightly with the movement of the ship.

Two men, dressed in extravagant clothes, were sitting at the dining table enjoying their dinner.

One had a straight posture and appeared to be in his forties, the other had white hair, but it was neatly groomed, like a noble who cared greatly about appearances.

“The merchant guild actually sent us to participate in this merchandise exhibition,” the elder spoke softly.

“More importantly, they place great importance on this Island Master. He defeated Lu An and joined the Hongwen Alliance; he’s quite a talent among the human race’s younger generation,” the middle-aged man said, taking a sip of his drink.

“Oh? You’ve piqued my interest. Tell me about him,” the elder dabbed his mouth with a white handkerchief and put down his cutlery.

“I don’t know much,” said the middle-aged man as he too set down his utensils and reflected, “I heard he comes from a small town in the Yeko Kingdom, was later transferred to Lundham City to become a captain, and was then exceptionally promoted and brought to Gold and Silver Island.”

“To Lundham City? Did he go there?”

“You know about that place? I hear it’s quite remote.”

The elder suddenly fell silent, his voice carrying a tinge of indescribable melancholy, “I lived there once.”

The middle-aged man slightly turned his head, waiting for him to continue.

“With my wife.”
