Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Walls, arrow towers, and neatly arranged puppets.

From the overall architecture, it feels like a military camp or a sea fortress.

Xiao Xiao shuttles through the puppets and then drills into the dilapidated buildings on both sides.

Inside the dusty and dilapidated houses, scattered weapons can be seen everywhere, covered with silt and moss-like plants.

The rest of the items have rotted and are mixed with silt due to the humid environment.

Without any special discoveries, Xiao Xiao flew out directly.

He joined Granda and Bennie, two ghosts, and rushed towards the central building behind the puppets.

Entering the main hall, the three ghosts paused, looking at the front in surprise.

In the innermost position, there is a stone chair covered with moss, and a tall figure wearing rotten armor leans on the chair, looking like a ghoul after transformation.

Just as the three ghosts thought it was just a corpse, a level light beam like breathing suddenly rose from the figure in front.

Before there was any reaction, the level light beam quickly disappeared.

After a few more minutes, the light beam reappeared and disappeared in a flash.

It's like breathing.

Bennie waved his hand, and the three ghosts bypassed the ghoul and went to see the other rooms.

A lot of items and weapons were stored inside, and after confirming that there were no other dangers, they turned and left.

The shared picture ended here.

Wu Heng released Xiao Xiao from his body.

Then he began to think about the picture he had just shared.

The puppet's size and the style of the armor are the same as those encountered on the ship graveyard before, which can also prove that the two sides are from the same culture.

The puppets stationed in the courtyard are better preserved than those on the ship graveyard and should still be able to move.

What surprised him the most was the body in the main hall. The appearance was like a mummy. The scales on his body were cracked and scattered on his body. The weapons next to him were also covered with thick copper rust.

And this body actually showed a level light beam every few minutes.

Wu Heng doubted the other party's current state.

Did this transform into a ghoul? Or did he use other methods of survival?

He even suspected whether the other party still had the ability to move.

But it can be determined that the briefly appearing level light beam can confirm that the other party is level 18.

Not a big threat to himself.

The ranger's beastmaster also found the location of the ruins, which made everyone excited.

Wu Heng said: "There is a military camp inside, stationed with nearly a hundred puppets, each with the combat power of a level 12 professional."

The puppets do not have level light beams. The judgment that they are about level 12 is also based on the information from the previous actual combat on the ship graveyard.

The puppets here are all the same style, and their combat power is about the same.

Hearing about nearly a hundred level 12 puppets, the joy on everyone's faces froze.

"I suspect that this is a temporary sea fortress, and there is an enemy inside, but it is not certain whether they are still alive." Wu Heng said, and then repeated the body inside whose level light beam sometimes appeared.

The two elders frowned together.

According to the previous speculation, this ruin was before the unification of faith by the Holy See.

It is understandable that the puppets were preserved and the stone magic circle can still be used.

It is really difficult to understand that there is still a person alive inside.

"Ghoul, right?" The dwarf elder said, looking at Wu Heng.

Can't a hero necromancer tell if it's a ghoul?

Wu Heng shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's a ghoul."

The elf elder thought for a while and said: "It is also possible that some kind of ritual was used to keep his body preserved."

"Does your Hongwen Society have any records in this regard?" The dwarf elder asked.

The elf elder said: "I haven't paid attention to it. I can check it after I go back."

"What's the use of checking it after going back?"

Seeing that the two had no clues, Wu Heng waved his hand to signal them to be quiet, and said: "Don't argue about these, let's prepare according to level 18."

Prepare!

A member of the Hongwen Society said: "Chief, two elders, it's not that I don't believe in our strength, but right now we only have this one ship. If the ship is damaged in the next battle, we may be trapped on the island."

Another person said: "I think, since the underwater magic circle has been cracked, why not go back and notify the association, make sufficient preparations and then come back."

The words of the two people made the others fall into discussion.

They believe that one hero, two elders, and so many high-level professionals now will definitely be able to clear the dangers inside in the end.

But what if the ship is damaged?

Can so many people swim back?

The best way is to notify the association and come back after preparing well.

"Shut up, just protect the ship, there are not so many dangers." The dwarf turned around and reprimanded.

But the discussion continued.

Wu Heng glanced at the crowd and then said, "Don't worry, everyone, even if the ship is damaged, I have the ability to take everyone away."

The discussion quieted down, and the member who had previously suggested returning also said: "I believe in the chief, nothing to say."

"The chief has said so, then I have no objection either."

Everyone spoke one after another.

At this time, the ranger suddenly said: "Puppets have appeared on the ruins, a lot of puppets."

Everyone looked towards the front.

On the wall, puppets covered with copper rust and holding long swords appeared, looking towards this side from afar.

"It's so far away, how did they come alive?"

"Return to your positions, personnel below level 12, form teams on your own, personnel above, one person per puppet." The dwarf elder gave the order loudly.

Filippa sat in the cockpit, her feet in leather boots on the table, biting an apple in her hand, watching the association members outside with solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

She took a hard bite of the fruit and said: "Turn the guns and aim at the front."

……

Lopes City, Snake Emblem Consortium.

The slender and elegant elf in charge, Letty, looked down at the documents in her hand.

As the end of the year approaches, the number of ordinary orders has dropped sharply. Whether it is a large force or some mercenary groups, they are saving money for the year-end auction.

But it's much better than last year. Last year, my various indicators were much worse.

It was Wu Heng who came over masked and helped me complete the remaining number of orders and gold reserves at that time.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Letty's face.

It's like a god sent down to save me.

Knock knock knock ~!

The door knocked.

Letty retracted her thoughts, "Come in."

The door opened, and a staff member walked in, "The association has sent a letter to you."

Letty raised her eyebrows, took the letter, and said: "You wait at the door for a while, I will have a letter to send out later."

"Yes!" The staff member responded, opened the door and walked out.

The door closed, and Letty couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and looked at the contents above.

Her eyes swept across the words.

When she saw that she was willing to use the opera house as the Snake Emblem Consortium's auction venue, Letty almost shouted out in joy.

A safe island with a hero sitting in town.

It can reduce the consortium's expenses a lot.

She took a deep breath and looked at the contents above again. In addition to agreeing to give the consortium the auction venue, she also asked whether other venues and facility requirements were needed, which could be negotiated.

"That's great!" Letty said.

The handwriting on the letter is relatively delicate, and it can be seen that it was written by a woman.

Moreover, the wording also contains a kind of northern-style phrasing and vocabulary.

It seems they should be people brought from the area north of the Kingdom of Yeke.

I heard he likes beast-kin women.

Next time we meet, should I prepare some beast ears or something to tease this young hero?

After thinking about it randomly, I took out a few letters and started writing.

After writing everything, I said to the door, "Come in!"

The door opened, and the previous staff member walked in.

Leidili said, "Send these to the heads of the various consortia, and this one to the association, to Silver Island."

"Yes!" The staff member took the letters and turned to leave.

… …

Silver Island, Lilith's mansion.

The butler walked in front, followed by an elven man.

He wore leather armor, a hood, and a long sword hung at his waist, looking travel-worn.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

Entering the hall, the old butler said, "Miss, Elder Elinore has come to visit you."

The elven man stepped forward and respectfully saluted, "Elinore greets the leader."

Lilith glanced at the other party and waved her hand, saying, "Sit down."

The other party sat down obediently to the side, took out a well-packaged gift, and said, "I brought you some elven fruit wine; it's the best time to drink it now."

Lilith glanced at the butler, who carefully took it and placed it aside.

The elf continued, "The temperature on Silver Island is a little high."

Blood clans don't like the sun, but Silver Island is a place where the days are particularly long, so it's hard to imagine why Lilith would want to live here.

Lilith said, "Occasionally there are some storms, but it doesn't matter. I'm used to living here and feel more comfortable."

The elf didn't expect this answer, raised an eyebrow, "Indeed, it's the same everywhere, as long as you get used to it."

Lilith picked up her teacup and took a sip, asking, "Do you have any plans for coming to the island?"

The elf immediately said, "Leader, the headquarters appointed me as the Emerald Sea Flag Bearer, and I just arrived here today."

Flag Bearer!

Lilith raised an eyebrow and re-examined the other party.

Elinore, an elven level 18 swordsman, holds an elder position at the association headquarters.

He is an elf, but also a follower of the Holy See.

Arranging for him to come to the island to serve as the Flag Bearer...

"When Wu Heng was the Flag Bearer, he did a good job. You also have to do your job well when you come here," Lilith said.

"I understand. I'll go to the association later to meet with the local executive and then start working," the elf said.

Lilith glanced at the other party and said more bluntly, "The headquarters is coordinating the relationship between Wu Heng and the Holy See. Don't get involved in this. He's far away from the Holy See, but I can't stop him from dealing with people on Silver Island."

The elf's eyes narrowed, understanding the meaning behind her words.

"I understand."

Lilith nodded and continued, "Do you have a place to live?"

"I will stay in the association dormitory for the next two days, and then look at the price of houses on the island."

"Choose a good location; it will be more convenient to live there."

"Yes!"

… …

The corvette continued forward.

On the distant walls, there were already puppets covered in copper rust.

"Xiaoxiao, Bennie, you guys keep an eye on that mummy, and notify me if there are any changes," Wu Heng said to the side.

"Okay!" A response came from mid-air, and the two wraiths flew out directly.

All the association members were also in chaos, each finding a position to disperse and form small teams, preparing to meet the battle.

From the intercom came Philipa's voice, "That… Leader Wu Heng, the ship's guns have been adjusted, do you want to give them a shot first?"

The corvette mainly carries two weapons.

One is a 127mm naval gun, and the other is a close-in weapon system for air defense.

The 127mm naval gun has a range of 10,000 meters, which is enough to meet the current range, even a bit too close.

Wu Heng glanced at the adjusted gun barrel and applied a [Summon Arrow Rain].

As they approached, the association members became more dignified and nervous.

"Now that we have arrived here, there will be no more retreat. Let these broken copper and rotten iron see our will."

The dwarf elder shouted loudly, cheering up all the members.

"That deep cave forged hope for us."

"The hammer swings, sparks bloom, perseverance is in our eyes."

"Now the battle horn sounds, courage is in our chest, burning hot."

Then, it was the Seekers' war song, and the entire ship, including the Hongwen Society members, began to sing along.

Echoing in the broken valley.

After casting the spell, Wu Heng ignored the members who were ready for battle and pressed the intercom, "Philipa, aim accurately."

"Understood."

Dong~!

The deafening roar instantly drowned out the singing.

The shell fired from the muzzle, and under the addition of 'Summon Arrow Rain', it was like a shotgun, quickly dispersing into countless shells.

Before the others could react to what happened.

Boom~!

The next second, the fortress in the distance exploded as if it had been blown open, engulfed in fire and explosions, with thick smoke soaring into the sky.

The stone mountains on both sides began to shake violently.

Stones rolled down with a 'crashing' sound, splashing waves, and the corvette also swayed slightly.

The singing on the ship stopped, and everyone who was ready for battle widened their eyes, looking at the scene in front of them in horror.

What just happened?

A fortress just disappeared?

Then… what was the point of all the preparations we made before?

The dwarf elder patted his still buzzing ears, walked over, and asked with a doubtful tone, "Leader, did we do that?"

"Yes, to avoid casualties," Wu Heng replied.

It's more than just reducing casualties.

The opposite side has been razed to the ground.

The elven elder glanced at the area still covered in thick smoke and raised an eyebrow.

It's been turned into this; what's there to excavate?

From the intercom came Philipa's voice, "What were you guys singing just now?"

Wu Heng and the elven elder both looked at the dwarf elder, who coughed softly and pressed the intercom, "Just singing for fun."

"Oh!"

… …

Inside the distant fortress.

Xiaoxiao and Bennie floated in the inner hall.

Staring at the figure in front, level light pillars still appeared rhythmically and then disappeared.

The sound of the explosion rang out, and dense gravel, like bullets, shot into the building, hitting the body sitting on the stone chair with crackling sounds.

The shriveled body, under the impact of the gravel, lost its balance and fell to the side on the ground.

Xiaoxiao looked at Bennie, pointed at the body, expressing that he wouldn't be killed by the stones, would he?

Bennie also shook her head, indicating that if he was going to die, he would have died long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't be killed by stones.

Just as the two wraiths were communicating with sign language.

Suddenly, they saw the fallen body, and the level light pillar did not disappear.

It staggered and stood up.

A crack opened on the top of its head, and a fleshy body, like shedding skin, crawled out from inside.

Turning into the image of a middle-aged man with black hair.

The level light pillar rose again, rising to level 19.

Then, the man suddenly turned his head, and an eye cracked open in the center of his eyebrows, staring at the hidden wraiths.
