The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 498: Chapter 411, Found It

The carriage returned.

They split up.

Wu Heng changed his appearance at the association and took the carriage back to Lighthouse Street.

He entered the Conch Tavern.

At this time, the tavern was busy.

The comings and goings of people filled the entire tavern.

...

When Wu Heng entered, Millicent glanced up, then flicked her gaze upstairs.

Then she continued to greet the guests.

Wu Heng went upstairs and entered a room on the side.

The room was very clean, and aside from a change of bedding, the layout was no different from last time.

Wu Heng released the two Ghosts.

“Didn’t find anyone?” Glenda asked.

Xiao Xiao added, “Why not catch the whole gang, lock them up, and feed them to the zombies? They won’t dare not to talk.”

“Ah? That cruel?” Wu Heng looked at her.

“We are the bad guys, eh, we should look the part.”

Wu Heng gave her an unamused look, “That’s a movie quote, I’ve seen it, and you don’t act like a bad guy at all.”

“Is that so, how is it possible, I’ve even won awards in kindergarten.”

Wu Heng didn’t continue to discuss kindergarten with her and directly said, “You two keep an eye on the Sea Dog Gang. Now that it has come to this, the Sea Dog Gang will definitely arrange for him to leave Gold and Silver Island. Find him.”

The two Ghosts seemed to understand his instructions.

Glenda asked, “The features you described aren’t distinct, we may not recognize him.”

“No need for such trouble, just remember who meets with that Short People leader,” Wu Heng said.

The two Ghosts nodded and flew straight through the wall.

And disappeared into the night sky.

Wu Heng stood in front of the window, looking towards the Sea Dog Gang’s location.

If all went well, this matter could end today.

…

The sky gradually darkened.

Millicent came upstairs.

She gently closed the door and bowed, “Deputy Steward.”

“All done?”

“Yes, there are not as many guests now, the staff can look after the tavern,” Millicent said softly.

“Sea Dog Gang, do you know about them?” Wu Heng asked directly.

Millicent nodded and immediately said, “Yes, they are the gang of this region. The tavern pays them 12 silver coins every month for management fees, and recently they are planning to increase it as the tavern’s business has been good.”

Gangs managing a region would collect a protection fee.

Some of this money would also end up with the Guard Team or the City Lord’s Mansion.

It was one reason the city allowed such activities to develop.

“What else do you know about this gang?”

Millicent pondered for a moment, “Not much, their reputation isn’t good.”

“Have you any impression of a Dwarf with a scar on his lower lip?”

Millicent recalled, then shook her head, “No impression, the gangs usually keep some people to do things they can’t handle directly.”

Wu Heng nodded, not expecting her to provide any useful clues.

He continued, “Prepare a room for me, I will stay here tonight.”

“Alright, please wait,” Millicent nodded and went out directly.

…

Without saying much, Millicent returned again.

She brought over a set of bedding and carefully remarked, “My lord, the rooms are full. If you don’t mind, you can stay in my room for the night.”

“The rooms are full?”

“Yes, several shops outside have been closed one after another recently, and the rooms here have all been booked. If it’s inconvenient for you, I can sleep in the kitchen,” Millicent explained.

“You rest as usual. I will sit here for a while; there might be actions later tonight,” Wu Heng said without further comment.

“Oh, alright, my lord.” Millicent still spread the new bedding she had brought on the bed.

Her own set was laid on the floor.

Wu Heng didn’t say much more, just sat there waiting.

Next, Millicent stepped out again.

When he returned, he was holding a wooden basin in his hands, his eyes timid and darting, “Sir, we didn’t prepare a bath tub, so I’ll wash your feet instead.”

Wu Heng frowned at him, “Millicent, you don’t need to do this, I’ll just sit for a while and then go back.”

Millicent took a deep breath and looked up, “Sir, if you don’t mind, please sit down, I’ll wash them for you. You’ve also had a long day.”

Wu Heng looked at Millicent and still sat down on the bed by his side.

Millicent placed the basin on the ground and gently massaged his feet.

Her long hair hung down on both sides, swaying slightly with her movements; her shoulders were round and her lines smooth, revealing a mature charm.

“Millicent, how are you adapting to life here?” Wu Heng didn’t know what else to say and started the conversation somewhat awkwardly.

Millicent looked up with a smile, “Very well, I eat well, dress well, and don’t have to worry about being kidnapped by pirates someday. It’s the life of my dreams.”

“Don’t want to go back to the village?”

“Not anymore. If one day, Sir, you don’t need us anymore, I might go back,” Millicent said in a soft voice.

Wu Heng nodded, “Take care of your safety and gather more intelligence. Things will get better.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

Millicent wiped his feet dry with a towel and continued, “Sir, lie down and I’ll give you a massage.”

Wu Heng lay down on the bed.

Millicent sat at the edge of the bed, picked up one of his hands and laid it on her lap, gently massaging his arm.

…

At that moment, a commotion suddenly arose outside the window.

Two ghosts, in their invisible state, flew back, directly entering into their bodies.

Two scenes merged into his mind at the same time.

The Sea Dog Gang truly intended to let their people go, but those watching them were not only Wu Heng but also the folks from the Old Barrel Tavern.

Wu Heng sat up immediately and walked to the window to look into the distance.

He could see at the end of one road, a dense line of torches formed a long dragon.

Filling the entire street.

Countless people with torches and weapons gathered from various streets towards the direction of the Sea Dog Gang.

The Old Barrel had not chosen to continue waiting.

Or perhaps, finding the association and the Guard Team was also a way to justify their own rightful cause.

In gang affairs, at the end, it still came down to resolving issues through combat.

The crowd of torches grew larger and converged towards the location of the Sea Dog Gang.

“Avenge the boss,” suddenly, a shout came from afar.

“Avenge the boss,” everyone echoed loudly.

The sound, like a tidal wave, transferred from one level to another, moving backward.

Then, people wielding weapons charged forward.

The brawl began.

Shouts of killing, sounds of fighting.

Filled the entire area.

Millicent ran out of the room, directing the staff to barricade the door.

So as not to be affected by the chaos outside.

As for Wu Heng, he could only stand in the room watching everything that was happening from a distance.

Once the battle started, no one could intervene.

Unless one side was defeated, it would not stop.

…

By the next morning.

The sounds of killing had ceased, and the air was heavy with the stench of blood.

Wu Heng changed back to his original appearance in a secluded alley and walked towards the battle zone.

The Guard Team and the association squad had arrived.

Looking at the bodies lying in a heap in the distance and blood all over the ground.

The Baldy from the Old Barrel Tavern was soaked in blood from head to toe.

Accompanied by a few men, he dragged a half-dead dwarf over.

There was a scar on the dwarf’s lower lip.

Baldy wiped the blood from his face, “We’ve found them, the people from Sea Dog Gang.”
