The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 983

Chapter 983: Chapter 786, Experimental Artillery Shell Chapter 983: Chapter 786, Experimental Artillery Shell “Going smoothly?” Wu Heng asked.

The short person touched his beard and replied respectfully, “Everything's going very well. There will be no issues at all from our side, you can rest assured.”

That meant there were no problems on their end, and if any issues did arise…

Wu Heng nodded and picked up an object to inspect it.

The front end of the shell was engraved with intricate patterns, and upon close sensing, one could feel the fluctuations of magic.

“I'll conduct the experiment. If the results meet my requirements, I'll have the city hall contact you to continue ordering goods from you.”

“Of course, there's no problem. It's our honor to work for Lord Island Master,” the short person said politely.

“I'll have someone come find you when it's time.”

“Understood, my lord. I won't disturb you any longer.” The short person bowed again and left the room directly.

Wu Heng collected all the shells and left the room as well.

He stood at the door, thinking for a moment.

Taking a ship from Gold and Silver Island, he went to sea to test the new electromagnetic cannon.

Above the sea.

Wu Heng rode a Flying Carpet, floating in the air.

In the distance, Cock-Tail Island appeared diminished.

In the next second, the Mansion Skill opened, and behind the stone door was a robust Electromagnetic Cannon.

Wu Heng inserted a shell engraved with red patterns into the Mansion Skill, and the gunner controlling the cannon began to load the shell and adjust the angle.

Xiao Xiao floated nearby, curiously asking, “Uncle, is what you drew useful?”

“If it's sufficient to normally operate a shop, the effects are certainly there. Now we'll see if it works when applied to the shell,” Wu Heng, sitting cross-legged on the Flying Carpet, replied.

These engravings were quite popular on the island. Professions such as Rangers and Sentinels would buy some.

The effects were definitely there.

But firing a high-powered Electromagnetic Cannon, it was uncertain whether it would affect the stability of the patterns.

Engraving just one was pricey, so if the effects were poor, it was necessary to cut losses promptly.

Just relying on the impact force of the Electromagnetic Cannon itself, the power was already considerable.

Bella flew on the other side, saying, “At the tavern, mercenaries like to buy some Magic Arrows. In some special environments, they can have good effects.”

Xiao Xiao lay on her side, asking, “What are special environments?”

“Environments that are somewhat abnormal, like places filled with Poison Gas, or where fire is spreading. The corresponding Magic Arrows can provide some relief, but they probably aren't as effective as a Mage's magic,” Bella explained softly after thinking for a moment.

“Oh, uncle is a Mage. He doesn't need those.”

“Your uncle is a Necromancer.”

“But uncle can also do the Fireball Technique. When it comes to burning corpses, it's really convenient,” Xiao Xiao continued.

Um…

Wu Heng immediately tensed up and said, “Xiao Xiao, you can't talk about that outside. Others might mistake me for a killer.”

“Okay, hehe,” Xiao Xiao giggled and flew a circle in the air.

Bella also smiled aside.

While one person and two spirits chatted, the Mansion Skill on the other side finished loading the shell.

The barrel pointed far away at the small island.

“Fire,” Wu Heng instructed.

Boom~

The Electromagnetic Cannon roared violently, and a stream of light tore through the air in a flash.

Then a deafening roar came from distant Cock-Tail Island, which trembled and stirred up enormous waves around it.

Wu Heng and the two Ghosts stared intently at the distant island.

At that moment, the island was obscured by dust and smoke, and no sign of any magic being triggered was visible.

A failure?

Or perhaps the method wasn't quite right.

Indeed, it seemed that this approach didn't work.

As he contemplated, suddenly a red light shone through the dust, followed by a burst of intense flames.

Caught in the unstable airflows from the blast, the flames began to twirl.

“Wow, it's like a tornado,” Xiao Xiao exclaimed.

“The effect seems quite good,” Bella also said in surprise.

Wu Heng watched the effects, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.

“`

It was a success.

The firing of the Electromagnetic Cannon had no effect on the magic runes.

About two or three seconds after hitting, it began to take effect.

Wu Heng continued to stare at the flames rising in the distance.

Unlike artillery shells or missiles.

This kind of flame effect was more like a thrown Molotov cocktail rather than the shockwave of an explosion.

But its power was indeed not small.

The lethality of the flames was enough to leave an enemy skinless.

On the sea.

A fleet belonging to a Chamber of Commerce sailed away along the route, its pristine sails billowing in the sea breeze like white clouds floating above.

Several representatives from the Chamber of Commerce stood at the bow, holding wine glasses and discussing the matter of choosing a cooperating Chamber of Commerce with Gold and Silver Island.

An elder, stroking his beard, said, “The Island Master seeking a fixed Chamber of Commerce, I feel there is a deeper meaning, could it be he only wishes to cooperate with a few Chambers that have good relationships…”

Another middle-aged man shook his head and said, “You might be overthinking it, if the Island Master only intended to cooperate with certain Chambers, why bother calling all the representatives there, private negotiations with those he wishes to cooperate with would suffice.”

Seeing that the two were about to argue.

Someone beside them immediately said, “Regardless, we must still strive for it, as long as we establish cooperation with Gold and Silver Island, and with our commercial operations, in a few years, we will distance ourselves from other Chambers of Commerce and become an unshakable commercial behemoth.”

No one denied this statement.

Every Chamber of Commerce that had trafficked goods with Gold and Silver Island saw their status soar rapidly upon their return, quickly widening the gap with other Chambers.

Everyone nodded in agreement, praising the magic of Gold and Silver Island.

“The medicine trade of Gold and Silver Island is a no-go, I suggest everyone not waste their efforts.”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted, causing an abrupt silence around them as everyone turned to look.

They saw an elderly human, accompanied by two others, approaching.

His face showed confidence and he didn't look like an ordinary person.

A merchant asked, “Who might you be?”

The elder smiled and said, “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Sede, Vice Chairman of the Fumo Alchemy Association.”

The crowd realized they had a Vice Chairman aboard the ship.

“So, you are Vice Chairman Sede, but why do you say that?” the merchant pressed on.

Sede folded his hands behind his back, “I have received news that the Alchemy Associations from various places have already united. His elixir won't sell.”

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce immediately retorted, “How could it not sell? Can you also produce the elixirs?”

Sede shook his head, “No, but Chambers everywhere will face a problem, those who cooperate with Gold and Silver Island's elixirs will be boycotted by all the Alchemy Associations, and not a single elixir will be given to you. Gold and Silver Island only has this one kind of medicine, how will you choose?”

Everyone was stunned.

At the same time, they all felt a hint of contempt.

These Alchemists were really spoiled, instead of thinking about how to improve, they intended to suppress a breakthrough medicine.

“I think, some will still choose to cooperate with Gold and Silver Island, after all, this product is bound to sell well,” another Chamber representative spoke up.

Sede looked at him seriously as if memorizing his face, a veiled threat emanating from him.

“The financial power of the Alchemy Associations isn't necessarily lower than yours. If the whole Emerald Sea gets chaotic, no one will be able to ship out these goods, of course, you don't have to worry, the technology for the medicine tablets is not difficult, it's just a matter of waiting a year, then they will gradually be produced.”

How vicious!

This meant supporting the pirates.

Only the pirates could cause chaos in the Emerald Sea.

“The Emerald Sea has just settled down, isn't this a bit too outrageous?”

Sede looked at the few with disdain “Survival of the fittest. Blame this kid for provoking the wrong profession.”

Everyone's expressions darkened.

They would take this news back and report it to their superiors to avoid the Alchemists uniting together causing the Chamber to suffer losses.

But they felt unwillingness in their hearts.

If they could sell the elixirs, it would definitely change the market.

Damn fools, only know how to cause trouble.

Boom~!

As the faces of those present flickered with indecision, a terrifying boom suddenly erupted.

Everyone on deck was startled, scrambling for cover.

At the same time, they looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a bright light rising from a distant island.

Immediately afterward, a massive tornado enveloped with flames and dust rose from the ground and pierced the sky.
