The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 505 - 417: Revolving Machine Cannon (One update toda
Chapter 505: Chapter 417: Revolving Machine Cannon (One update today).
“You’ve joined a fleet again?” Wu Heng asked curiously.
Philippa said, “Yes, the target this ti is a passing fleet. Soone invited , so I joined.”
“Good, tell about the strengths of these three pirate groups,” Wu Heng agreed imdiately.
The informant provided intelligence, and it was essential to actively respond on their end.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t provide useful information next ti.
From Imilo, they had obtained a manuscript, which counted as an advance on a third-level rit.
It still needed to be repaid.
Philippa casually said, “The person who invited in, could they be any major pirate? The three captains are all around level 10, the Hand of the Demon didn’t kill you, and these are all small fry.”
“A level 10 fugitive is just the right match for a third-level rit.”
“Yes, right, there’s a friend of mine among the pirates, the one I told you about last ti, whose woman was snatched away. He introduced , so don’t kill him when the ti cos,” Philippa paused slightly, then added, “Moreover, it wouldn’t make sense if you kill all three and only I escape. So, it’s better not to kill him.”
Among pirates, friendship is hardly a subject of consideration.
On a single ship, betrayal and power struggles happen all the ti.
Even captains can change frequently.
In the pirates’ mindset, friends are rely an accessory to interests and power.
But Philippa had a point.
If four pirate groups set out to sea and only she returned unscathed in the end, it would certainly raise suspicions among the others.
Escaping together with another could help avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
“Alright, how do I recognize your friend’s ship to avoid killing the wrong one?” Wu Heng agreed.
“The pirate flag has a flying fish with wings. It’s easy to recognize. The guy has a big beard and looks rather honest,” she described.
“Alright, where should I go to find you?” Wu Heng continued to inquire.
“We will be north of Scorpion Pincer Island on the ‘Jasik Route.’ It takes about a day from Gold and Silver Island. The cargo ship will pass through the route around noon the day after tomorrow,” Philippa answered directly.
Wu Heng took a pen and wrote down the na of the route.
He also took out a map and checked the location.
In terms of the expanse of the Erald Sea, the distance wasn’t considered far.
“Alright, I’ll set off tomorrow morning.”
“Mm-hmm, and don’t forget to tell your steward after it’s over that I’ve satisfied all three pieces of intelligence for the Secret Speaker and can join that ‘Secret Speaker’ now,” Philippa reminded softly.
It seed that Philippa was quite serious about this matter.
For ordinary people, joining the association was akin to joining the guard team, recognized by the forces of various kingdoms.
It granted certain privileges.
Even if sothing happened, as long as one sought refuge in the association, the local municipal hall would have to negotiate with the association rather than directly dealing with you.
It was like having a formidable backup.
“I rember, tell about the pirate bounty again,” Wu Heng brought up his bounty once more.
Philippa fell silent for a mont before speaking, “I heard it from other pirates. Your bounty has risen to 1,200 coins, and there’s also a general idea of your two skeleton attendants that has been passed along.”
Wu Heng pressed, “The previous blank envelopes, they didn’t include information about the skeleton attendants?”
Philippa replied, “No, I suspect that the person behind this has only recently obtained exact information about the skeleton attendants, and that’s why they distributed it in this way.”
“They didn’t ntion any other plans to ambush or assassinate ?”
“No, if there’s any new information, I will notify you imdiately,” Philippa said calmly.
“Alright, that works.”
Once the business talk was over.
Philippa asked again, “By the way, how’s my mom doing?”
Leaning against the edge of the desk, Wu Heng answered, “She’s doing well, the tavern is booming, probably the hottest on the street.”
“Really? It’s definitely because of your support. I don’t believe it could be this successful otherwise,” Philippa expressed doubt, but her tone conveyed surprise.
“Support is one aspect, but your mother has also done well on her own.”
“Oh, then when will you bring her over for a chat with ?” Philippa asked softly.
Wu Heng thought for a mont, “Let’s wait until after this matter is settled; I’ll have her co over for a talk with you.”
“Thanks, Dad, see you the day after tomorrow.”
“Mm!”
…
The two ended their call.
They hung up the handset.
Leaning on the edge of the desk, Wu Heng pondered the intelligence he had just received.
His bounty had increased again.
After the past few experiences, hearing it had only gone up by 200 made him feel it was rather low.
The two skeleton attendants at his side had been made known through a blank envelope.
Indeed, this provided more information for those looking to collect the bounty, but the problem wasn’t too significant.
The two skeletons indeed played a role in protecting him.
However, they were not his trump card; their greater purpose was to respond imdiately in unexpected situations, holding off the target enemy.
This gave him ti to draw his gun, or open a boundary door.
Even the strongest foes could be worn down by his tens of thousands of soldiers in Zombie World.
But sothing felt off.
“Why update the information about the attendants now?”
“Let Mini and Andre Willow be more cautious during this ti as well.”
After so thought.
He tore off the page with the route information and left the room.
…
Descending the stairs.
Mini was practicing boxing with Bawudong, flas rising from her hands.
As the Fist Master generated ‘qi,’ it erupted like an explosion.
“Master!” Mini waved her hand.
Wu Heng approached, asking curiously, “You’ve gotten quite good at controlling the flas, haven’t you!”
