Chapter 880: Chapter 709, Engaging in Battle Chapter 880: Chapter 709, Engaging in Battle They had not seen each other for half a month.
Although there was some contact through the radio, their hearts were filled with longing.
When the butler left, they kissed and hastily removed each other's clothes.
Shanaela was lifted and placed on the edge of the bed.
The hem of her nightgown was lifted to her waist, her hands subconsciously supporting herself on the bed's edge.
Mm~!
With a soft, low moan, her body swayed back and forth with the force behind her.
Her silver teeth tightly bit her red lips, softly humming in rhythm, and said, “A bit slower, people might hear us.”
Wu Heng took an elf ear in his mouth, “Everyone is asleep, what is there to be afraid of.”
As he spoke, he pulled down the straps of the nightgown, hanging them at her waist.
He wrapped his arms around her body, supporting the weighty chest.
“Be careful,” Shanaela's body flushed.
“Hold on a bit.”
“Don't use so much force, go slower.”
Shanaela hit him on the back with a reverse hand, picked up a handkerchief from the bedside, and gently bit it in her mouth.
She let out soft, whimpering sounds in time with the rhythm.
The night deepened.
The two of them sat naked opposite each other at the edge of the bed.
Wu Heng stood up, and Shanaela, with a cry, coiled her legs around his waist like a spider, her arms tightly around his neck.
“What now!”
“A sip of water.” Wu Heng said, carrying her to the desk in the room, sitting down again and taking a sip from his cup.
“I'm thirsty too,” Shanaela said coyly.
Wu Heng took a light sip, pinched her chin, and fed the water to her.
They continued their unfinished pleasures.
After a long while, Shanaela exhaled heavily, and Wu Heng carried her back to the bed.
They snuggled under the thin blanket.
“Didn't Philippa keep you company? Why all this exertion?” Shanaela spoke softly, leaning on his chest.
Wu Heng caressed the elf's full body, “Missed you, that's all.”
“Always saying things that are pleasing to hear.”
“Was it your idea to let the troops stay in Gold and Silver Island?” Wu Heng pulled her closer into his embrace.
Shanaela's slender fingers gently touched his chest, “Yes, she seemed decent, and truly wanted to improve the city, so I suggested it.”
She paused briefly, then continued, “I bought several local properties, I couldn't just let her lose the city right after signing the agreement!”
“I knew it must have been your idea; otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly brought it up,” Wu Heng said.
Shanaela smiled and nodded, “Think of it this way, the military power of the entire city is in your hands, you hold the real control.”
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, understanding her meaning.
He gently massaged her body and offhandedly said, “Since we've agreed to it, let's just take one step at a time!”
“Alright, you decide,” Shanaela nodded.
Wu Heng continued, “I need to order some goods urgently, can you contact some suppliers?”
“What do you need?”
He casually took out a list and handed it to her, “Mainly steel, preferably finished products that meet the specifications on the list.”
Shanaela took out an Illuminating Stone, looked over the list, “Netalee City can't meet the requirements, it will definitely take some time, especially with the specifications.”
“If it's not possible, then let's place an order!” Wu Heng said.
Shanaela nodded, “Okay, I'll contact Mini via radio tomorrow, tell her which trade association to approach, and get the order signed directly to minimize the time.”
“Good!” Wu Heng nodded.
Being a businesswoman, Shanaela valued time efficiency.
Following her arrangements would certainly save more time than negotiating with each trade association myself.
“There's one more thing,” Shanaela looked up at him.
“What is it?”
“I plan to hold a second elixir auction in Netalee City to alleviate the city's decline.”
Wu Heng frowned, “It's not as safe here as you think.”
“I'm not planning to hold it right now, just waiting for news from the association,” Shanaela said.
“That's fine, we'll see how it goes.”
They chatted for a while, then fell asleep in each other's arms.
Zombie World, pharmaceutical factory.
Early in the morning, Wu Heng, accompanied by Li Yahong and three Level 10 Alchemy Skeletons, went to the pharmaceutical factory.
In the pharmaceutical workshop, a middle-aged woman, accompanied by over twenty uniformly dressed individuals in white lab coats, approached.
“Deputy Leader Li!” The middle-aged woman bowed slightly.
Those behind her also bowed.
Li Yahong nodded, gesturing towards Wu Heng, “This is our Leader.”
Everyone looked on curiously, sizing him up for a moment.
Then they all saluted, “Leader.”
Wu Heng also nodded with a smile, “No need for formalities.”
Li Yahong said, “Sister Yang, you stay. The rest of you may attend to your own tasks.”
Everyone left.
The woman called Sister Yang remained, asking curiously, “Any instructions?”
Li Yahong explained, “These skeletons are skilled in crafting very effective elixirs and will stay here to focus on pharmaceutical research, mainly on turning them into tablets.”
“Elixir crafting?” Sister Yang frowned.
Wang Heng took over the conversation, “Sister Yang.”
The woman immediately saluted, “Leader, you are too polite. You can just call me Yang Qiu.”
Wu Heng went straight to the point, “You will be teaching them how to convert elixirs into tablets. As for how much of the efficacy is preserved, let them figure it out.”
Rather than having survivors develop elixirs, Wu Heng felt it would be faster to teach skeletons how to make tablets.
The elixirs and formulas were ready; it was just a matter of adding some materials to form tablets.
It shouldn't be difficult.
Yang Qiu glanced at the skeletons, hesitated but eventually nodded, “Understood. I'll first take them to the lab, and later arrange for someone to teach them the process.”
Wu Heng looked at the three skeletons behind him, “You three stay and learn from them.”
The three Alchemy Skeletons immediately walked behind Yang Qiu.
She shuddered, then led the skeletons to the lab inside.
After a short while, she hurried back, “Leader, Deputy Leader, I invite you to come inside and take a look, and also to discuss the upcoming arrangements.”
Wu Heng and Li Yahong nodded, then proceeded into the workshop.
At the border between Lundham City and Yeko Kingdom.
“Advance!”
The human army, clad in uniform armor and wielding swords and blades, marched forward with disciplined steps.
Flags fluttered in the wind, their eyes filled with courage and determination.
Whoo~!
Suddenly, the sound of horns blared.
A Courage Halo converged on the soldiers.
“Kill!”
“Attack!”
Loud battle cries resonated as the human army surged forward like a tide towards the Necromancy enemy.
Right in front of the human army, the Skeleton Army was neatly arranged.
Within the ranks of skeletons.
A Ranger moved swiftly among the skeletons.
He reached the middle of the formation and immediately reported, “Commander Geoffrey, the enemy is approximately three hundred meters away.”
Geoffrey, a Level 11 warrior, formerly a core member of the Pinned Gang and now the Commander of Lundham City, was responsible for auxiliary and reconnaissance tasks.
Clad in bright silver armor, he was burly and robust.
Yet, as the cries of battle drew closer, a chill ran down his spine and sweat beads rolled down from under his helmet.
Having originated from a gang, and having scrambled to a city commander's post through Wen Mansha, he was on edge facing forces like the Hammer Party, let alone an army.
Even well-prepared, his heart raced., and his head seemed to throb with the battle cries.
“Continue scouting,” Geoffrey instructed.
“Yes,” the Ranger departed.
Geoffrey then turned and briskly walked towards a carriage nearby and bowed respectfully, “Commander, the enemy is nearly three hundred meters away.”
The carriage door opened, and a skeleton wearing a pink sun hat stepped down.
Standing on the carriage step, it looked into the distance.
The next second.
The waiting Skeleton Army, moving in stiff but orderly steps, advanced forward. There were no battle cries, only the synchronized sound of footsteps and the friction of armor.
The two forces closed to within two hundred meters.
Skeletons in the front row holding giant shields quickly loosened their formation, shields separated slightly, revealing black gun barrels poking from behind.
Bang~!
The first gunshot exploded, and a human soldier advancing forward staggered and slowly fell.
