The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 824

Chapter 824: Chapter 666, Leave the Human Head Behind Chapter 824: Chapter 666, Leave the Human Head Behind “Start from the beginning,” Wu Heng said, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Across from him, Mackintosh replied, “After receiving suspicious information about this ship, we began to gather some intelligence. The vessel had been docked at the harbor for four days. Other than the first day it docked, when a large amount of cargo was unloaded, it has just been sitting there.”

But every day, many supplies have been brought on board, and after some investigation, we found out they were regular deliveries of food and fresh water.”

Based on just that, we can conclude there are still many people on the ship who did not disembark. They are unlikely to be Tamed Beast or slaves; they wouldn't be fed so well. Many people are hiding inside, but their purpose is still unclear.”

“So I decided to give you a call,” he added.

Mackintosh spoke quickly, but his meaning was clear enough.

The ship had been moored for 4 days, with food and fresh water delivered every day.

Based on this alone, it was clear there was something amiss.

Nearly a hundred people with unknown intentions staying at the port certainly posed a problem.

“Who is delivering the food to the ship?” Wu Heng asked.

“Servants from an estate on the island. Their identity is still being confirmed, but they seem to be recent arrivals who purchased property on the island,” answered Mackintosh straightforwardly.

Wu Heng fell silent for a moment, then asked, “What number is the ship moored at in the port? What are the ship's distinguishing features?”

“Dock number 5, a large commercial cargo ship flying a flag with a red beak on a blue background,” Mackintosh responded.

“I understand. Keep an eye on them from your side too, but don't alert them yet,” instructed Wu Heng.

“Understood.”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng leaned against his desk, deep in thought.

It was clear the people aboard did not understand the coastal situation well.

They did not know that any common dockworker on the island could speculate that there were people hiding on the ship based on the amount of food being delivered.

Of course, it's also possible that they thought the port was too chaotic or their stay too brief to be noticed by anyone.

In any case, it was certain that nearly a hundred people were hidden on board, and their purpose was still unclear.

It might be related to some items that had recently been put up for sale on the island.

Particularly the Elixir, which represented something very important.

Wu Heng quickly thought through these points, summarizing them.

The newcomers were unfamiliar with coastal characteristics.

There were over a hundred people, highly disciplined, and they were confident about doing something on Gold and Silver Island.

The only missing piece was the clarity of their purpose.

“Master, is there some danger?” Mini asked softly, standing beside him.

Gathering his thoughts, Wu Heng replied, “It's not exactly danger, but a ship has stopped at the port. Mackintosh suspects there are people hidden on it. He advised that Annette and Robey not go out today if there's no pressing need, just in case there might be danger.”

“Alright, Master. We understand,” Mini said with a nod, smiling.

Wu Heng said no more and went directly upstairs to return to his study.

In the study, three Ghosts were still busy with their own tasks.

Wu Heng addressed Glenda, “There's something I need you to do.”

“What's it?” Glenda looked puzzled.

“Mackintosh just called. He reported a suspicious ship at the port. It's purchasing food and water enough for nearly a hundred people daily, yet there's no sign of that many people appearing. He suspects someone is hidden inside,” Wu Heng said as he sat down, summarizing what he had heard from Mackintosh.

Glenda asked, “Do you know which ship it is?”

“The ship at dock number 5. It's a large cargo ship flying a flag with a red beak design. Find out the identity and purpose of those inside, and it's best if you're not detected,” Wu Heng instructed.

Glenda nodded. “Okay, I'll head there now.”

With that, he left through the wall.

Little Xiao, who had been eavesdropping, flew over too. “I'll have a look as well.”

“Don't go,” Wu Heng immediately stopped him.

“Ah? Why not?”

“You and Bella check around the Island Lord's Mansion instead, see if there's anyone suspicious,” Wu Heng ordered.

“Oh, okay!”

Xiao Xiao and Bella also flew out to begin checking around the Island Lord's Mansion.

After sitting and waiting in the room for a while,

Xiao Xiao and Bella returned.

“We didn't find anything,” Xiao Xiao reported.

Bella added, “I took a detour to Lady Shanaira's residence too, but there was no danger there either.”

As they were speaking, Glenda also flew back.

He reported directly, “Blood Clan, and their levels are not high. From the conversations they've had, it's clear their target is you. They are waiting for an opportunity.”

Blood Clan?

Hearing this news wasn't exactly a surprise,

Self had helped Lilith kill some members of the Blood Clan; their families seeking revenge was quite normal.

Of course, in his own vision, he thought the retaliation from the Blood Clan would be more arrogant, openly coming to kill him.

Now, it seemed, they were also cautious,

Planning to kill him in a more covert manner.

“What's the highest level among them?” Wu Heng asked.

Glenda shook her head, “There are several level 15 members of the Blood Clan in the cabin, and I didn't see any higher-level professionals, so it's very likely they are in a separate cabin. Those who dare to come to Gold and Silver Island to kill you will definitely have someone of level 18 or higher leading them.”

“They really do value me.”

“Rumors say you're level 15, but since you've killed so many of a higher level, they must know something's up. I suspect this time, there's more than one level 18 present,” Glenda analyzed.

“That makes sense.”

Glenda continued asking, “What do you plan to do?”

“Since we know they are prepared, we can't just sit and wait to be killed. It would be best to draw them out and kill them directly.”

Neither wanted to attract attention during a killing, nor did they want to make a big scene.

Both had similar thoughts.

“What's your plan?”

Wu Heng stood up, taking out his armor and putting it on as he spoke, “Let's go, we're heading to the port.”

In the dimly lit cabin.

A pale man with shoulder-length curly hair was reading a newspaper story.

“Quite an interesting fellow, Luke losing to him is not unjust.”

Thud thud~!

At that moment, the door was lightly knocked on.

A figure swiftly dashed into the room.

The man spoke displeasedly, “What is it? Such rashness.”

The figure quickly said, “Sir, the Island Master has appeared at the port.”

The man put down his newspaper, frowned, and looked directly at the other, “To what end?”

“He boarded a ship larger than a warship and left towards the east.”

“He went out to sea?” the man murmured to himself, then smiled, “He dares to go out to sea at this time. Tell the captain to follow him directly. If they lose him, twist his head off.”

“Yes, sir!”

Just as his subordinate was about to leave, the man continued, “Wait a moment.”

“Sir, you said?”

“Tell Radwan, we will kill the Island Master. Tonight, have him take men to assault the Island Lord's Mansion, kill everyone.”

The wind picked up, whistling and ocean waves sounded in the ears.

They had sailed some distance.

Skeleton took off the Human Skin Mask and returned it to Wu Heng.

The one who had boarded the ship at the port under the guise of the Human Skin Mask was Skeleton, precisely to avoid being directly attacked on the way onto the ship.

That way, there would also be time to counterattack.

Fortunately, the other side had made no move, which seemed to indicate they yet intended to avoid violence in crowded places.

They had their own concerns.

Philippa picked up the binoculars and looked towards the back, saying, “They haven't followed, have they? These guys didn't lose us, did they?”

After finishing, she walked into the pilot house and said to Skeleton, “Slow down a bit, why are you rushing, are you eager for a rebirth or something?”

“What's with that tone?” Wu Heng retorted.

Philippa pouted, explaining quietly, “No, I'm concerned that their junk ship is too slow and might lose us.”

Wu Heng looked at the radar on his watch, indeed not seeing any target catching up.

When they left the port, they saw that ship following. Given their current cruising speed, it shouldn't have fallen behind.

He pulled out the Jade Sea Sand Table for a look.

Behind their ship, indeed a ship was rapidly approaching.

“They are following us, waiting for nightfall.”

The sky darkened, and the entire sea area seemed cloaked under a black curtain.

A man from the Blood Clan, dressed in a black suit, stood hands-behind-back on deck, his blood-red eyes seeming to pierce through the night to discern the distant scene.

Behind him, a large group of Blood Clan members emerged.

Some were dragging several corpses drained of blood, and they tossed them over the railing into the sea where they vanished.

“Sir, we can see the other ship now,” the lookout shouted from the mast.

The man nodded, composedly saying, “He's got some skills. Go all out, don't leave anyone alive on the ship, and also, don't damage his face. I want his skull to present to Mo Fa Te.”

“Yes, sir,” the crowd nodded.

“Increase speed.”

The ship moved at full speed, the target in the distance drawing nearer.

A cold smile gradually appeared on the man's face, as if he could already see the well-respected Island Master on the island kneeling miserably before him.

And he, by taking off his head, would earn the reward of the clan chief.

And in the presence of Mo Fa Te, subtly mock their master and disciple's incompetence.

Everything was just a matter of drawing a bit closer.

Thud~!

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the distance.

A burst of flame flashed momentarily on the opposing ship.
