The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 844

Chapter 844: Chapter 681, South Korea National Team (One more update today.) Chapter 844: Chapter 681, South Korea National Team (One more update today.) As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent.

Clearly, the Great Detective Island Lord was more inclined to believe that there was an inherent problem with Netalee City itself.

And this was the sentiment shared by most present.

The representatives from headquarters exchanged glances and a 15-level Priest casually asked, “Wouldn’t this cause a misunderstanding with the Yeko Kingdom?”

Wu Heng looked at him and replied, “We are here to investigate a case, not to foster animosity between nations. Just notify them when we are about to reach the port.”

“Even so, isn’t it impolite? After all, we represent the headquarters of the association,” the Priest continued.

Swish swish swish!

Just as he was about to retort, the sound of recording notes came from the opposite side.

An 18-level Investigator, had, unbeknownst to them, taken out a steel pen, the mass-produced type commonly used by the public.

He had started making records.

Wu Heng slightly raised his eyebrows, softening his tone, “Courtesy is for friends, not for suspects. When the investigation is clear, we can show politeness at the dance party.”

“I agree with Island Lord Wu Heng’s view. Informing them in advance, isn’t that tipping them off? The association sent us to investigate, not to make friends,” a member of the Blood Clan cloaked in a heavy cape, whose face was obscured, spoke up.

The voice was deep and neutral, somewhat indistinguishable between male and female.

The Priest snorted coldly and said no more.

The veteran mage, Gianvito, also mentioned, “I too agree with Island Lord Wu Heng’s arrangements. What about you, Elder Tapani? Any other objections?”

An 18-level Elven Swordsman beside them nodded, “Once everything is arranged, we’ll take the headquarters’ ship tomorrow. Gold and Silver Island will be responsible for the escort fleet during the journey.”

Wu Heng said, “There’s no issue with that. The escort fleet is ready, and we can depart from Pier 2 tomorrow morning.”

“Okay,” the Elven Swordsman nodded and continued, “We’ve met, so unless there’s anything else, we’ll head back and make preparations.”

“Alright.”

Several people stood and walked out, Wu Heng, Xi Ligui, and Shi Yali, followed them to see the group off.

After everyone from headquarters had left the conference room,
Wu Heng then asked, “That Elven Swordsman, is he an elder of the headquarters?”

“Based on how Gianvito addressed him, he must be an elder of the association. It’s not strange for this matter to have an elder leading the team,” Xi Ligui replied.

“That makes sense.”

Xi Ligui asked, “Why the rush?”

Wu Heng answered, “The longer this matter drags, the more difficult it becomes to solve the case. Now that everyone is here, it’s crucial to get there as soon as possible.”

The sisters couldn’t verify if this conclusion was correct, but Wu Heng clearly had more authority when it came to solving cases.

Shi Yali also thought for a moment and said, “The more rushed it is, there might be some oversight.”

Wu Heng smiled, “It’s not a big issue, if there are some oversights, I have ways to handle them.”

Xi Ligui glanced at her sister, “Let Shi Yali go with you, she’s skilled at administrative work and can help you.”

Shi Yali’s eyes flickered, staying silent but looking towards Wu Heng.

The latter shook his head, “There could be dangers over there,”
Xi Ligui agreed and nodded, “Yeah, just focus on overseeing Gold and Silver Island, don’t let anyone steal our home while I’m gone.”

“What ‘our home,’ that’s so weird,” Xi Ligui commented quietly, murmuring under her breath, then added, “Not bringing the association’s team?”

Wu Heng fell into thought.

He would certainly take some Skeletons with him, considering the internal strife within the military there, which posed a risk.

As for the association’s team, indeed, people who were willing to follow his arrangements were needed to handle matters.

Skeletons, while useful, weren’t as effective as living beings.

“Let’s take the Fifth Team, Cavina’s team.”

“Alright, I will have her prepare immediately, and she’ll leave with you tomorrow,” Xi Ligui nodded in agreement.

Thump thump thump!

As they were speaking, the door was knocked on.

The three immediately paused their discussion, and Shi Yali got up to open the door.

A figure covered in a heavy hooded cloak, with the face and body entirely concealed under the hood, appeared outside the door.

It was a member of the Blood Clan within the association.

He likely represented Lilith, the Secret Speaker.

“Island Lord Wu Heng, Steward Xi Ligui,” the Blood Clan member said flatly to the room.

“Is there something else?” Xi Ligui asked.

“I would like to speak to Island Lord Wu Heng in private,” the Blood Clan member said.

Xi Ligui frowned slightly and looked at Wu Heng.

This was the association’s territory, Wu Heng was accompanied by two high-level Skeletons, and the other party, a 15-level professional, likely couldn’t do anything risky.

Seeing Wu Heng had no intention of refusing, she nodded, “Then we’ll head back to the study room.”

“Thank you, Steward Xi Ligui,” the Blood Clan member said.

Xi Ligui and Shi Yali exited the room, leaving only Wu Heng and the entering Blood Clan behind.

The door closed.

The Blood Clan member took a step forward, bowing slightly, “Greetings, Punishment Officer.”

Wu Heng’s eyebrows raised, “What’s going on, please sit down.”

The Blood Clan member sat down opposite him, removing the hood and revealing a woman’s face.

She had short hair, a broad and clean forehead, thick eyebrows close to sword-brows,
Blood-red eyes, a sharp and resolute gaze, and distinct facial lines exhibited both toughness and gentleness.

Her features were quite attractive, though she exuded a tomboyish vibe.

Once seated, the Blood Clan member directly began, “Leader Lilith has sent you a message. Considering your several defenses of the Blood Clan’s honor, you have been promoted within the Holy Ash Church to the position of Punishment Officer, authorized to oversee all personnel of the Blood Clan, along with a reward for you.”
