“This kind of movie is really good to watch, much more thrilling than a stage play.”
“Exactly, I suddenly feel like stage plays are so boring.”
“Master, are there any other movies? Can we watch them again tomorrow?”
Wu Heng said, “I'll show you some more when there's a new one, but not right now.”
“Alright then!”
By this time, the sky was getting darker.
Wu Heng said to the skeleton attendant, “Arrange two squads to escort Steward Xi Ligui and 'Mackintosh' back.”
Immediately, two skeleton squads ran out and stood behind the two respectively.
Xi Ligui's face was still a bit swollen, and she coughed lightly before saying, “There are people outside and the streetlights are on; just arrange one squad, please. I will return to the mansion with Shi Yali, and let the skeletons take 'Mackintosh' back.”
“That's fine, be careful on the way.”
“Mm.”
The group waved goodbye and left the mansion directly.
The maids discussed the movie and returned to their rooms to rest.
The next day, at the harbor.
Rows of workers were transferring supplies onto the ships that were ready at the harbor.
These supplies were all provided for the association to be transported to Netalee City.
Of course, in addition to the supplies for the association, even more were necessary goods for the ordinary citizens in the city.
According to the current state of Netalee City, it was feared it wouldn't return to its original prosperity for several years.
“Lord Island Master,” a voice called out.
The Dwarven Designer 'Youssef', accompanied by several designers from different races, walked over.
Further behind them, there was a large group of skeleton workers wearing orange vests.
“This trip to help restore some facilities in Netalee City, just follow the arrangements of the Fifth Princess. If you encounter any problems, go to Philippa; she will help you solve the unsolvable,” Wu Heng stated directly.
“Yes, we will definitely complete the task you've given us,” Youssef said, saluting again.
“Did you bring the mechanical parts?”
“Yes, they're all stored in a few larger Space Rings.”
“Be careful on your way.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
While they were speaking, all the goods had been moved onto the ships.
The designers and skeleton workers all boarded the ship and waved goodbye.
Wu Heng too boarded a carriage and left the harbor heading towards the Mechanist's building.
Black Stone Town.
The once bustling small town was now silent and deserted.
Not a soul was on the streets, and the shops on either side were tightly shut.
Members of the Sylther Association stood on the city walls, watching as a massive army appeared in sight and slowly approached the base of the walls.
“Auntie, are you, are you okay?” Yuli asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Slyther, looking at the oppressive army, suddenly felt her confidence waning.
The numbers were overwhelming.
After pondering for a moment, she said softly, “Let's hope he will remember our past relationship.”
The Skeleton Army arrived at the city, and a commander riding a Skeleton Horse came closer.
“Is it Steward Slyther?” the commander called out loudly.
Slyther looked at him and replied, “Yes.”
“Please open the city gates. The City Lord has ordered that the residents will not be harassed and no property will be looted,” the commander stated again.
Slyther looked at the sparse number of people on the city walls.
City Lord, officials, guards–all had fled cleanly.
Those who remained did so because she had promised there would be no trouble.
But they could not defend the city either.
“Open the city gates!”
With a grating, jarring noise, the gates were flung wide open, and the Skeleton Army entered the city in an orderly fashion, marching down the streets towards the Central District.
Slyther descended from the city walls, followed by members of the association and a few powerful individuals who had brought gifts, with a tense Cheetah at her heels.
The commander approached and saluted, “Steward Slyther.”
Seeing this, the people behind Slyther also sighed with relief.
It seemed they still held some respect for Slyther, so as long as they didn't court death, there probably wouldn't be a problem.
“Didn't Wen Mansha come?” Slyther asked.
“She's not in the troop.”
“How is her recovery? The border blockade left me with no time to visit her.”
“The City Lord is well.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Slyther continued, “I can assure there will be no danger in the city, and I hope that you will not harm the remaining residents.”
The commander nodded, “You can rest assured on that point. The City Lord has issued an order that after entering the city, no harm will come to the residents.”
Slyther nodded, pondered for a moment, and then continued.
“I have an important piece of intelligence that needs to be conveyed to Gold and Silver Island through Wen Mansha.”
The commander's eyes narrowed and he gestured to someone behind him.
A Skeleton Cavalryman came forward, “Whatever intelligence you have, you can hand it over to it; it will deliver it nonstop to Lundham City day and night.”
Slyther handed a letter to the Skeleton Knight.
The skeleton stuffed the letter into its pack, flicked the reins, and galloped away.
The letter was sent off.
Slyther felt somewhat relieved and motioned with her hand, “Come, let's talk inside at the association.”
“Please lead the way, Steward.”
In the study at the Island Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng examined the blueprint in his hand, having flipped to the final page.
In accordance with the blueprint, the last component of the Electromagnetic Cannon within the Mansion Skill was also gradually being assembled.
Around the main body, various parts of different sizes were scattered.
Wu Heng set aside the blueprint, and with a thought, the remaining parts began their final assembly.
At this moment, it felt like assembling a LEGO set–simple and quick.
At the same time, he was looking forward to the final effect and praying fervently that nothing would go wrong.
He had been assembling it for months with the blueprint as a reference.
It couldn't be for naught.
Once the last step was completed, Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it could be used or not, for now, it was completely identical to the finished product on the blueprint.
“Did you get it done?” Gran floated over.
Xiao Xiao and Bella followed closely behind.
“It's been assembled, but I don't know if it will work,” Wu Heng said.
“Try it out and you'll know!”
“That's true,” Wu Heng donned a coat, “Let's go and test it.”
He left the house, greeted the maids, and wearing the Train Captain's Hat, he directly went to Cock-Tail Island.
Emerald Sea.
On a Dragon Trafficking Team's ship.
“Leader, the Island Master settled the full amount directly. I think we should maintain a trading relationship with him.”
On the deck, a topless man bent slightly, speaking respectfully.
In front of him, a more burly man wearing a Flying Dragon Tusk pendant around his neck stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the ship.
In a cold voice, he said, “According to the information, the missing fleet is likely Gold and Silver Island's doing. They can continue to trade with us, but they need to give us an explanation.”
“A satisfactory explanation.”
