The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 840

Chapter 840: Chapter 677, I Guarantee It With Its Life Chapter 840: Chapter 677, I Guarantee It With Its Life “Airborne Flying Dragons!”

The sisters stared at the rows of Skeleton Flying Dragons, their expressions slightly stunned.

The Escort Ship introduced last time was already twice as big as a normal ship, and the ship they were standing on now was almost like a small island.

It was about four to five times the size of a standard warship.

And with so many Skeleton Flying Dragons, it was indescribably shocking.

After a while, Shi Yali was the first to regain her composure and asked, “So, you mean to rely on these Skeleton Flying Dragons for combat?”

“Yes, smart,” Wu Heng praised, then gently patted the body of a nearby Skeleton Flying Dragon and explained, “I have divided the flying dragons into two types, one capable of aerial combat and the other has projectiles placed in the rib cage for bombing the ground. Apart from serving as a sea platform, this ship's interior space can also carry enough projectile supplies.”

It was called an aircraft carrier, which was actually named by Wu Heng himself.

Its real name was the Changfan Cargo Ship, a large oceangoing freighter found at a South Korean port.

The entire cargo ship was 400 meters long and 60 meters wide.

And the previously acquired Escort Ship was only 144 meters long and 14 meters wide.

The entire cargo ship, large in size, had an exceptionally spacious and wide deck.

When Wu Heng saw it, his first thought was to use it as an aircraft carrier for the Otherworld. Although the deck might not meet the requirements for aircraft take-offs and landings, the Skeleton Flying Dragons did not need such strict conditions.

A wide platform was sufficient.

Xi Ligui also recovered from her astonishment and said, “We still need to install some equipment in case of emergencies.”

“There will be some facilities added later,” Wu Heng said.

The sisters walked around and casually asked, “What about the speed?”

“It will definitely be faster than traditional warships.”

Xi Ligui nodded and said, “I feel good about it, defending the entire Gold and Silver Island wouldn't be a problem.”

Wu Heng smiled and added, “As a platform ship used for ocean voyages, it will yield better results in battles beyond the Emerald Sea in the future.”

The sisters raised their eyebrows and looked up at him.

Wu Heng continued, “Right, let's make a bigger association flag. The small ones aren't visible when hung on the ship. We'll make it ourselves back on Gold and Silver Island.”

Xi Ligui said, “Shi Yali, estimate the size, and we'll make one for him when we return.”

“Alright,” Shi Yali nodded and walked to the side.

Wu Heng then said, “Come, let me take you to see the lower cabins.”

The two headed towards the cabins.

Below deck, the cabins were even more spacious.

In the corridor leading downstairs, some Skeleton Warriors were mopping the floor.

Wu Heng led them through each cabin for a tour.

“This area contains rooms for living, and below are the cargo holds, which can transport goods as well as troops.”

Xi Ligui nodded, “Hmm, it truly is a sea base.”

The two walked through several cabins but found nothing particularly special.

In the dimly-lit cabin.

Wu Heng glanced at Xi Ligui beside him and whispered softly, “Is there a reward this time?”

Xi Ligui rolled her eyes at him, “We didn't make a bet.”

“What if there is?” Wu Heng looked at her.

Xi Ligui's cheeks visibly reddened as she muttered, “Greedy.”

After hesitating, she whispered, “Close your eyes.”

Wu Heng smiled, lowered his body slightly, and then closed his eyes.

He then felt a cool, moist touch on his cheek.

A gentle tap, and they quickly parted.

Wu Heng opened his eyes, and Xi Ligui cautiously glanced towards the doorway.

“Alright, alright, let's go. You think about these things every day,” Xi Ligui said with a flushed face as she walked out.

Wu Heng grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Their eyes met.

Xi Ligui's voice trembled, “Whwhat are you doing? Shi Yali is still outside!”

Wu Heng leaned forward, one hand around her waist and the other supporting the back of her head.

He kissed her directly.

Xi Ligui's eyes widened in surprise, staring at the doorway.

She clenched her fist, lightly thumping his chest. She dared not use too much force, not wanting to hurt the fragile mage, yet the light force felt almost coquettish.

Her teeth parted slightly, tenderly responding to him.

Her body softened, arms draped over his shoulders, her eyes still vigilantly watching the door.

Afraid someone might come down.

After a long time, footsteps were heard from above.

Xi Ligui quickly pushed him away and straightened her clothes, wiping away the droplet hanging at the corner of her mouth.

She then took out a mirror from her Space Ring and checked her appearance.

The footsteps grew closer.

Following that, a skeleton with a bucket walked in.

It reached the far end and started to mop the floor.

Both of them paused for a moment but then smiled.

“We still have some time,” Wu Heng said.

Xi Ligui frowned, “I don't have time for you.”

With that, she ran outside and made her way to the deck.

Wu Heng followed her out.

Shi Yali approached, “I've finished recording. I'll have someone customize it, and it should be ready in two days.”

“Let's go. We've finished the tour. Let's return,” Wu Heng proposed.

The trio disembarked together.

Shi Yali looked at her sister, “Why are your lips swollen?”

“I accidentally bit them just now. It's nothing.”

“You bit them?”

The three of them left through pier no. 2 and hailed a carriage to return to the Central District.

Along the way, the two others got off at the association's entrance, and Wu Heng returned to the Island Lord's Mansion.

Back at the Island Lord's Mansion.

“Master, you're back!” Mini smiled and came over to open the door.

“Mhm, what are you doing, all soaking wet?” Wu Heng wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they walked inside together.

“Here, bathing the Skeleton Flying Dragons.” Mini smiled and gestured towards a nearby location.

By the fountain in the front courtyard.

Four Skeleton Flying Dragons were sitting on the ground waiting.

A few regular Skeleton Warriors, holding buckets and brushes, were cleaning their bones.

Robey and Annette were also involved, directing the skeletons at work.

“Do they really need another scrubbing since they're all bones?” Wu Heng curiously asked.

“Just a rinse. A leatherworker will come to make leather armor for the dragons; it helps differentiate the Island Lord's Mansion's Skeleton Flying Dragons from others,” Mini explained.

Some Skeleton Flying Dragons had been stationed at important locations on Gold and Silver Island.

Naturally, the Island Lord's Mansion had some too.

Mini's idea to use dragons' armor to distinguish those affiliated with the Island Lord's Mansion seemed feasible.

“That works, carry on.”

Entering the living room, Mini brewed a cup of tea for Wu Heng before running out to continue bathing the Skeleton Flying Dragons.

Wu Heng sat on the couch, pondering the association's matters.

“The association's directives should be arriving soon. I wonder how they will handle it?”

Several days had passed since the report was sent.

The association's decisions were likely to be issued in the next few days.

A Steward's death was no trivial matter.

Even if it had nothing to do with Yeko Kingdom, and the Steward truly died from someone else's vendetta,

the association would still demand some kind of compensation from Yeko Kingdom.

After all, the news was genuinely suppressed.

“Regardless of the arrangements, I need to follow through and aim to gain renown.”

“If Yeko Kingdom could reach the popularity of Gold and Silver Island, it could definitely boost me to level 20.”

Just as Wu Heng stood up to head upstairs, the courtyard door knocked again.

Mini went to answer it and saw Captain Felipa, with a parrot on her shoulder, swaggering in.

After exchanging a few words with Mini, she entered the house directly.

Smiling, she said, “Everything at the port is arranged. A level 15 Skeleton Captain and numerous skeleton crew members are set. All equipment and apparatus will be aboard by tomorrow.”

The dragon cargo ship was something Wu Heng had shown Captain Felipa before, even before Xi Ligui,

but he had her make other arrangements while he, Xi Ligui, and Shi Yali boarded to take a look.

“As long as it's ready. The association's decision regarding Yeko Kingdom should be issued in the next few days, and we'll likely need these ships,” Wu Heng stated.

“Don't worry, I'll handle it,” Captain Felipa assured as she settled into his lap, then praised, “Your idea to use the dragons is good. Did you come up with it yourself?”

“Just a normal thought. Haven't there been pirate ships with dragons on board before?”

“That's completely different. Pirates' dragons are for scouting and intimidation, and their combat effectiveness is mediocre. Your idea is much better,” Captain Felipa continued.

Wu Heng lightly patted her on the waist, “Thank you for your approval, Captain Felipa.”

“You're welcome.” Captain Felipa chuckled and then shifted in his lap, “Tonight, could I take that aircraft carrier out for patrol? Just following the route.”

“No, there might be actions in these couple of days, what if we need the ships?” Wu Heng declined.

Captain Felipa raised her hand in pledge, “I swear on my life as a Tamed Beast Trainer, I'll be back within two days.”

The parrot suddenly turned its head, looking in surprise at the conversation.
