caused by the triggered trap didn’t attract much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No residents came out to check, nor did any patrolling guards approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng and Glenda were both silently watching outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ranger’s flying creature appeared above the corpse, settling on the eaves overhead, looking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, five more figures emerged in the darkness of night, quickly reaching the corpse and flipping back the hood to check the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng spoke into the radio, “Olin, take action, no need to leave survivors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several crossbow bolts shot out from the dark alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They instantly hit two of the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Olin, wielding a one-handed battle axe, led the third squad and charged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olin, at the forefront, was kicked back by the opponent, tumbling over twice or thrice before barely stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pirates, far from being flustered upon being discovered, drew their weapons with a loud shout and charged directly at the members of the third squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat style was fierce, unmistakably that of pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Skull Crusher, go help them,” Wu Heng said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skull Crusher braced against the windowframe and leapt down straight from the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing, he wielded his battle axe and charged at the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His warhammer swung up and down again, the pirate who had kicked Olin away was sent flying instantly, slamming into the wall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skull Crusher didn’t stop, charging forward quickly, kicking the man back into the corner, his warhammer smashing onto the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dull impact was mixed with the sound of bones breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure in the corner coughed up blood in great gushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bit by bit, his breath faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, the remaining few turned to flee,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but they were tightly entangled by the third squad, and after Skull Crusher returned, he struck each with his hammer, killing them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the battle ended, the alley once again fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng walked out from a distant room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olin, holding a torch, was checking the identities of the bodies, “No one is on the wanted list.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any injuries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None,” Olin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded and looked at the bodies on the ground with the help of the torch light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attire seemed like that of a dockworker, but the messy long hair and the scars on their faces made them look more like pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Olin, take some men and keep watch here, be careful of other enemies,” Wu Heng instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Olin nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng walked down another alley, with Skull Crusher and Blood Axe dragging the bodies behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark alleyway carried a stench of urine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng gestured for the skeleton to lay down the bodies, his eyes falling on the one that had kicked Olin away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly cast “Communicate with the Dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fallen body suddenly sat up, its upper body unnaturally tilted to one side, its breastbone and spine broken by Skull Crusher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng asked, “Who are you people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse answered, “I am from Iron Barrel Pirate Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Barrel Pirate Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, the body inquired at the ship management office said it was killed by the Iron Barrel Pirate Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the Iron Barrel Pirate Group is active near Gold and Silver Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng continued, “Why did you want to kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse answered, “The captain ordered us to find a way to kill you and bring back your head.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain’s orders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does your captain want to kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse answered, “I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three questions had been asked, but the intelligence gathered wasn’t much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng pondered for a moment before asking, “Where is your captain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Following the fleet, docked north of Scorpion Pincer Island,” came the reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took out a tablet and reviewed the map he had photographed last time, noting that Scorpion Pincer Island was closer to Cock-Tail Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting away the tablet, he continued, “What level is your captain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A level 15 professional,” was the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five questions, the body lay back down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gathered the intelligence, Wu Heng was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, in his search for information about pirate groups with Flying Dragons, he had heard of the Iron Barrel Pirate Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even attempt to find them, they were already trying to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze continued to the second body, as he cast “Communicate with the Dead” again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng asked, “Who is the corpse beside you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A core member of our Pirate Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng asked, “What are you doing on the island?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We came to sell some supplies nearby and then kill the Vice-executive of the Association!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng went on to question each corpse one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basic intelligence gathering was almost done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Barrel Pirate Group had plundered a batch of goods on the route and planned to sell some at Gold and Silver Island while taking the opportunity to assassinate Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man killed by Skull Crusher was a core member of the Pirate Group and was the lead person for landing on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the opponent’s strength was not weak either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kick an Association captain flying, he had to be at least a level 10 close-combat professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he was no match for Skull Crusher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, Wu Heng had been suspecting something fishy about “Barrel Tavern.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had bought information there at noon and the incident occurred in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed that there was probably no connection between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iron Barrel Pirate Group had already landed on the island three days ago and had been observing the situation of the Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these pirates were truly audacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arranging a group of pirates to come ashore to kill a Vice-executive showed they were underestimating the Association too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exiting the alleyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olin approached and asked, “Vice-executive, how is the situation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People from the Iron Barrel Pirate Group. The lead man is a core member, I don’t know why he wasn’t on the wanted list,” said Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He might have recently joined, or the Association doesn’t have any information on him,” Olin suggested, then continued to ask, “What’s next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their ship is at port 6. Let’s go back and call some people to seize the ship,” said Wu Heng directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Olin didn’t say much and promptly took his squad in the direction of the Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng, on the other hand, walked in a different direction, and after exiting the residential area, he took out the [Conductor’s Hat] and put it on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train horn sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train appeared out of thin air, Wu Heng boarded the train and wrote ‘Cock-Tail Island’ on the journey schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng appeared on Cock-Tail Island with two skeleton corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the port, he saw the pirate ship hung with shields all over its hull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up at the deck, he could also see patrol Skeleton Sailors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ship was a spoils of war from last time after defeating the Bloody Hand Pirate Group, and because there was no good reason to dock, it had been kept here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng climbed aboard the ship via the rope ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the map again for a quick check and pointed forward, “Go in this direction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warship moved slowly, heading in the direction Wu Heng had pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Barrel Pirate Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the captain’s cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new captain – Brad, was still tirelessly gyrating his hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursing swear words, he caressed the silky skin of the woman in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really should show the old man how it’s done now; his fleet is mine, the women are mine, hahaha~!” Brad laughed out loud, slapping down and cursing, “Louder, let everyone outside hear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I sell this batch of goods and kill that Vice-executive, I will definitely surpass the old man. Serving two captains is also your honor,” said Brad, but then his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stood up, drew his sword, and flung the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a very scruffy, matted-haired figure standing at the doorway, “What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, we’ve spotted a pirate ship approaching,” came the shout from the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brad pushed the figure in front of him aside and said, “Speak up next time if there’s something, and if you’re mute, go scrub the deck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he picked up the armor in the room and started putting it on while heading towards the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slight figure walked directly into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the woman on the bed and whispered, “Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brad went up to the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked out towards the distant sea horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a ship with no flags displayed appeared in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from its design, it was a pirate ship, one that had been through countless battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, encountering other ships even here,” Brad cursed and said, “Signal them with flags to bugger off, or else they can’t blame me if…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A *thwump* sounded, and ‘Brad’s’ shoulder burst open violently, his entire arm and half of his shoulder blade vanishing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>",1581,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","a68c73a181b3a7d3bfcd1940a2caa5b46b6bc1d79cea634add58778c2eebea34","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-362","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-360",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
