How could they be wiped out so easily?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the Association has taken drastic measures, the pirates have been too rampant on the trading routes lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone whispered among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, those who were gathering information quickly left the crowd to pass the news on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the news that the Association had wiped out two pirate groups spread rapidly at the harbor and across the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taverns and brothels were all abuzz with discussions about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They speculated whether it was ‘Imilo’ himself who led the team, wiped out the two groups as a warning to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cabin, Wu Heng ordered all the skeletons to stand by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then returned to the deck and, together with ‘Xi Ligui’ and many squad members, disembarked the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After informing the ship manager, he called for a carriage and headed back to the Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arrival at the Association,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the team members went back to their resting area, while Wu Heng and Xi Ligui together headed to the Steward’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After knocking lightly on the door, they entered directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the office, there was only the assistant, ‘Moya.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Wu Heng and Xi Ligui stepping in, Moya’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only yesterday, Wu Heng had mentioned receiving intelligence about ‘Xi Ligui’ being in danger, and today he brought her back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was incredibly fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it that Xi Ligui wasn’t in trouble at all and had just happened to run into Wu Heng on her way back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Steward Xi Ligui, are you alright?” Moya asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui ran her fingers through her hair and replied, “I’m fine. Some sailors were injured, and there’s damage to the ships. Where’s the Steward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moya said, “I’ve already passed the message along to the Steward. He hasn’t come back yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Moya became even more curious about how Wu Heng found her and brought her back so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you had hidden her yourself, it couldn’t have been this fast, could it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When can we expect him back?” Xi Ligui continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moya replied, “If he sets sail back immediately upon receiving the message, he could return tonight or tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then we’ll come back tomorrow,” said Xi Ligui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, knowing that you’ve returned safely will put the Steward at ease.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng and Xi Ligui nodded, then left the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Steward’s Office,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they continued down the stone stairs together to the morgue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpses they had obtained needed to be examined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was to proceed according to the Association’s protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cold morgue,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Coroner was inspecting the bodies on the iron beds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing two stewards coming down at once, he promptly saluted, “Deputy Steward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng took out the wrapped corpses and said, “Two bodies, both fugitives from the wanted list. Verify their identities and then stitch up the bodies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both bodies had met particularly gruesome ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain of Red Crown Pirate Group had a large hole torn open in his chest, while the Captain of Poison Blade Pirate Group suffered even more—his legs had been removed from the mast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stripped completely bare, his neck was deeply slashed, leaving his head hanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Coroner lifted the two bodies onto the iron bed, took a quick look, and nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll notify the reception directly once I have the results.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great, thanks for your hard work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair then headed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said goodbye in the corridor and returned to their respective offices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the office,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow smiled and hung his coat on the rack for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said softly, “Master, did you go on a mission yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I went to rescue an Association ship,” Wu Heng washed his face in a basin to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow took a towel and gently wiped the water off his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting down, Wu Heng said, “Wei’er, help me write a report. The Steward might need it later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow took out paper and a pen, replying, “Sure, go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng thought for a moment and recounted the intelligence he had received yesterday before going to rescue ‘Xi Ligui.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was that he didn’t say he killed all the pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he recounted that upon his arrival, Xi Ligui was already fighting with the pirates, and he used skeletons and some machinery to kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also what he and Xi Ligui had agreed upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Xi Ligui and other squad members would just hide in the cabin, waiting for the battle to end before emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s difficult to be credited with any merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andre Willow wrote down the main content and then began to rewrite it as a report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng continued, “Mention our ship’s damages and see if we can get some money from the association for repairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah? Alright!” Andre Willow nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui looked at the fallen door on the floor and the broken door frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes bulged in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what Wu Heng meant by ‘a bit of damage’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was entirely unusable, okay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dismissed the guards at the door and stepped over the door plate to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing around, she noticed a drawer half-open under the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Wu Heng had taken his headband from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t really blame him, since he had been in a rush to save her, and indeed he had encountered danger at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She casually pulled the drawer out further and upon seeing the white chest wrap on top,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her cheeks flushed crimson immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just taken it off and had not had the chance to take it back for washing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t see it, did he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Steward Xi Ligui!” At that moment, a staff member entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui put the chest wrap into her Space Ring and looked up, “What’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we need someone to fix the door?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, go find someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, Deputy Steward!” The staff member left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui also took out paper and pen, and began to write about the battle with the pirates yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer to noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng stepped out from the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had left the report writing entirely to Andre Willow; after all, a report is not an essay exam, clarity of events was what mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Steward was not back yet, and it was uncertain if it could be submitted tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this world, messaging was still very primitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own radio, however, could transmit messages rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made his way back to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini saw his return and ran out from the room, launching herself at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng caught her, feeling the Bunny Girl wrap around him like an octopus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This move again?” Wu Heng, cradling her buoyant buttocks, walked towards the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini whispered, “I just missed you a bit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t miss me every day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my~!” Mini nuzzled into his neck firmly and cooed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng, carrying her, headed to the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Be good, go tell Chef Number One to prepare lunch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini hopped down, “Okay, what does Master want for lunch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just whip something up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mini ran into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng also went up to the third floor and into the room equipped with a radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the Skeleton Investigator’s record book, then picked up the microphone and said, “Philippa, how are things on your side?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Philippa’s voice came through, “It’s alright, you killed a few of my crew members, now I have to recruit others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene had been chaotic at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, aside from ‘Philippa’, Wu Heng didn’t know which were her crew members as the Skeleton Warriors had opened fire indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say a few were killed was to say the others dodged really well, not that they weren’t all killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you’re not hurt, that’s good. Other crew members can be recruited again,” Wu Heng said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph, those were my capable subordinates, my allies for conquering the seas,” Philippa commented, then continued, “What weapon did you use to destroy the ships? It seemed quite powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must be talking about the machine cannons; with sufficient ammunition, they could destroy a ship within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A type of machinery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Install a few on my ship, then I could provide you with more intelligence,” Philippa went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng knew instantly what she wanted and replied, “No, and don’t stand out too much. Keep a low profile, mainly gather intelligence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammunition for machine cannons was a serious issue right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng had only the machine cannons left with no ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he had some, installing them on her ship wasn’t a clear-cut decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such devices, in the eyes of pirates, were nothing short of magic relics. You, an 8th level Ranger with a relic, how long could you survive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stingy!” Philippa muttered and then said, “I found a blank envelope on the Captain of Poison Blade Pirate Group, with also a blank paper inside. I wonder if it’s the kind of envelope you told me to look out for.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1625,"2026-05-30T04:42:17.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","aac1dec094b85f8fea77625dfc6095e531808e4d22ea2cbf06b591cbe9a786e7","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-102","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-390",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg"]
