The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 334: Chapter 277, You’ve Been Captured!

The woman in the amber slightly fluttered her eyelashes.

Instantly, Wu Heng grew alert and quickly retreated two steps, standing behind Skull Crusher and Blood Axe.

Clearly, the amber in front of him could not be judged as normal earthly amber.

The woman inside was not only not suffocated to death, but some parts of her body were also not fixed.

And, she could hear the noises from outside.

Seeing that no danger had occurred, Wu Heng spoke to the amber, “I am the Deputy Steward of Gold and Silver Island, the Bloody Hand Pirate Group has been killed by the association, you are safe now.”

The woman’s eyelashes fluttered again, but she made no other movements.

What does this mean?

Does she not believe me, or can she only move her eyelashes?

He took out the emblem of the Vice-executive, held it up in mid-air, and continued, “This is my Deputy Steward emblem, if you are from this ship, you can come out now.”

After his words fell silent, there were two or three seconds of quiet.

The woman in the amber opened her eyes a sliver.

Her gaze glanced at the emblem, then looked at Wu Heng’s makeup and attire.

It was very easy to recognize whether someone was a pirate,

And Wu Heng’s appearance and the aura he displayed clearly indicated he was not one of the pirates.

He didn’t even seem like someone who often went to sea.

The next second.

The solid amber instantaneously began to liquefy, forming streams of yellow liquid that flowed into the necklace on the elf woman’s chest.

Turning into an amber pendant.

The woman lightly stepped onto the ground.

A pair of sky-blue eyes looked up at him.

“What’s your name?” the woman asked softly.

The gaze lifting to meet his was like ripples on the surface of a calm lake, brimming with gentleness and tender affection.

“Wu Heng, Deputy Steward of the Association, what’s your name?” Wu Heng asked.

Meanwhile, he wondered why her gaze towards him was like this.

It resembled the way his own women looked at him when they were moved.

“Sha Naila, the owner of this ship,” the woman replied softly.

“Do you have any proof?”

The woman pointed to the wall that had been obscured by the amber.

On it hung a colorful oil painting, in which a woman sat on a high chair that looked very much like the woman before him.

There was only a slight difference in the facial expressions.

The woman in the painting was cold and aloof, while the woman before him looked up with soft affection.

But it was almost certain that this was ‘Sha Naila’.

“Alright, let’s go, I’ll take you out for some fresh air,” Wu Heng turned and walked outside.

Sha Naila followed behind and said, “Thank you for saving me, Deputy Steward Wu Heng.”

“Just call me Wu Heng.”

“Hmm, you can call me by my name in the future too,” the woman said softly.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “How did the pirates target you?”

Sha Naila’s face turned ugly in an instant, “These pirates had set an ambush on the trade route early on, someone must have leaked my itinerary to them, I’ll have to investigate thoroughly once I get back.”

That is to say.

Someone inside had leaked her navigation route to the outside.

This led the pirates to make arrangements early on, just waiting for this fat sheep to enter their prepared ambush.

And the pirates were successful, leaving only her alive among everyone on the ship.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Wu Heng offered comfort, “It’s okay, who hasn’t encountered a few rotten people in their life? Just be more careful from now on.”

“Hmm, thank you,” Sha Naila said and leaned a bit closer once again.

…

The two reached the entrance to the cabin.

The voice of ‘Xi Ligui’ came through the earpiece.

“Wu Heng, how’s it going on your end?”

Wu Heng signaled to the woman beside him and replied through the earpiece, “It’s fine, all the pirates are dead.”

“Has the reinforcement arrived?”

“No, they turned on each other. I was summoning carrion while I fought, and I took the chance to kill them,” Wu Heng said offhandedly.

The opposite side remained silent for quite a while before the voice came through again.

“If you’re captured, just say what you’re going to eat tomorrow morning.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Uh…

This little girl is quite cautious.

“I haven’t been captured. The pirates are really dead. Besides, if I can’t beat them, can’t I still run away?” Wu Heng replied.

“You, alone, killed a few hundred people? How is that possible?” The skepticism was still evident in the other person’s tone.

“Hmph! Now you know why Necromancers are feared by others!”

“You really haven’t been captured?”

“No.”

“If you dare to lie to me, you will regret it,” Xi Ligui said, continuing, “We didn’t find ‘Sha Naila’. We’re coming over now, and when the Association’s reinforcements arrive tomorrow morning, we’ll conduct a thorough search.”

Looking at the elf woman beside him, Wu Heng said, “Shanaela is with me; you all should just come back.”

“Damn, you were captured after all.”

“Big sister, you’re overthinking it. We’re standing on the deck; let ‘Olin’s’ Tamed Beast take a look,” Wu Heng said plainly.

The other side did not respond and fell into silence once again.

The ‘Sha Naila’ beside him asked, “Your teammates?”

“Yes, they came to rescue you with me; they were responsible for searching the mountains for you.”

“You attracted the pirates by yourself and then killed them all?” Shanaela asked with raised eyebrows.

“Just luck.”

“You’re incredible.”

…

The two stood on the deck waiting for a while.

Several figures sprinted out from the darkness in the distance.

With a wave of her hand, Xi Ligui’s aura exploded from below her feet, propelling her from the shore and onto the deck.

After glancing at Wu Heng, she turned her gaze to the woman beside him, “Lady Shanaila, what are you doing here?”

Clearly, Xi Ligui recognized the woman’s appearance.

Unlike Wu Heng, who had asked several times.

Shanaela nodded, “I was trapped in the cabin. It was Deputy Steward Wu Heng… he saved me.”

She said, looking up.

Xi Ligui felt there was something strange in the other person’s tone, but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

She continued, “The Association’s reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning, so please wait a bit longer!”

“It’s all right. Thank you for coming to save me. I will mention this to the Association and reward you accordingly upon our return.”

“It’s what we should do.”

…

The rest of the squad members quickly ran up as well.

“Deputy Steward Wu Heng!” they saluted.

Even the members of one small team sounded increasingly respectful.

Wu Heng nodded and instructed, “Clean up the battlefield, identify those with bounties, strip the rest of their equipment, and bury them where they fell.”

“Yes!”

The team members immediately ran down and started collecting bodies.

Dealing with the bodies could also yield quite a bit of war spoils.

With some luck, finding something valuable could be a considerable income.

Eventually, the bodies of one leader and two key members were dragged out.

…

10 a.m.

The Association’s fleet arrived at Cock-Tail Island.

Swarms of mercenaries poured onto the small island, only to see two Stewards, accompanied by a few squad members, sitting at the port and yawning.

Steward ‘Imilo’, leading two Association squads, disembarked from the ship and asked upon seeing them, “Where are the pirates?”

The pirate ship was still there; it was clear the other side hadn’t escaped.

Seeing Wu Heng had no intention of answering, Xi Ligui stood up and said, “All the pirates have been killed, including

one Pirate leader and two key members listed on the wanted notices. Lady ‘Sha Naila’ has also been rescued safely.”

Imilo looked at the group.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
