Chapter 455, On My Side
The sudden loud noise startled the pirates who were shouting excitedly and preparing to finish the job.
They turned their heads in confusion.
The battered door was kicked apart.
The door panel hit the ground.
The light of dusk shone in like a veil.
A large number of skeletons wearing leather armor and sailor hats rushed into the hall.
They lined up in a row, with all the black instruments in their hands pointing forward.
And among the skeletons, a familiar figure could be seen.
The deputy deacon of the association!
He is not dead!
All the pirates stared at the front with their eyes wide open, in surprise, and were somewhat unbelievable.
They also had a general idea of the plan to attack the association.
Their initial target was the other people in the association, and the deputy deacon would be handled by Captain Tolga.
A level 17 boxer still did not kill the other party in this situation.
He glanced at the figure beside him again, and was even more horrified.
Tolga is dead.
The whole plan has been implemented until now, but it turns out that Tolga is dead.
The pirates began to tremble a little, and their eyes began to scan the surroundings, looking for ways to escape.
"There are only so many skeletons, let's kill them."
"Yes, let's rush out together. If we can kill that deputy deacon, we will be rich."
"Kill them."
"Kill!"
The pirates cheered each other up and roared loudly.
Then, the pirates raised their weapons and screamed as they rushed towards the gate.
Wu Heng said calmly: "Shoot, kill everyone."
Bang bang ~ bang bang!
The gunshots were deafening, and the dense bullets covered the front like a huge net.
Sometimes, Wu Heng was really glad that the direction of development of this world was towards magic runes, and no guns and cannons were developed.
Let himself use this weapon that is not difficult to make to exert the lethality that these people do not have.
Even if there are high-level strong men.
There are still more powerful weapons that can be used.
Machine guns, missiles...
Even a level 20 hero, whose body still determines whether he dies, may not be able to withstand the power of missiles.
The sound of gunfire continued to ring, pouring forward without any cost.
The pirates rushing forward fell one by one like wheat.
Soon there were not many left.
"Don't let them run away." Wu Heng continued.
The skeleton with a gun fired while moving forward.
Killed all the pirates on both sides who tried to escape through the window.
And the injured pirates on the ground who were wailing in pain were also killed by the skeletons one by one.
The hall was also allowed to be quiet.
"Torga, take some skeletons and check upstairs and downstairs. If there are still pirates, kill them directly. If they are not pirates, control them first."
The 17th-level skeleton boxer walked out of the team.
With several skeletons, he rushed upstairs quickly.
Wu Heng glanced at the hall. The furniture was smashed, the walls were stained with blood, and there were arrows and crossbow bolts nailed to the walls.
The ground was covered with corpses and debris, and blood gathered to form blood puddles.
After letting the skeletons take back all the guns pressed under the corpses, he directly released [Dead Corpse Battlefield], and the skeletons stood up from the ground.
Shake off the broken meat on the body, bend down to pick up the weapons on the ground.
Rearrange the defense.
Wu Heng continued to walk to the door of the training room and shouted inside: "Weier, you can come out, it's safe outside."
There was no response from inside.
On the side, a white little owl was watching from a distance.
When it found that it was really Wu Heng, it squeaked twice and landed on his shoulder.
Behind the door of the training room.
The sound of moving items also began to be heard.
Soon, the door of the training room opened, and Andeweier, Moya, Kavina, as well as the team members and staff came out one after another.
Most people were injured.
But as long as it was not fatal and the organs were not missing, the problem was not serious.
Wu Heng glanced at Andeweier and Kavina, and saw that they had no obvious injuries, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Andeweier came over, with a happy face, "Deputy Deacon, are you okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry."
The others also shouted: "Mr. Deputy Deacon!"
Wu Heng nodded and said: "The battle is not over yet, the pirates may attack us again at any time. The injured should rest, and those who can move should repair the doors and windows and prepare for possible dangers."
"Yes!"
Everyone answered, and there was a little more confidence in their voices.
...
Residential area.
Shannara began to gather the guards of all the merchant group representatives, and temporarily gathered a lot of manpower.
In addition to the people who just gathered here.
He also called other nearby residents, explained the current situation, and gathered all the people.
Treasure Island is a trade transit station.
Most of the people who bought such a house on the island are senior members of the merchant group.
Everyone gathered together, looking flustered and at a loss.
"Is the island owner a pirate again? Hasn't he been pardoned? What's the benefit of being a pirate?"
"How is it possible? Why did he do this?"
"What should we do now?"
Some people still refused to believe that the island owner wanted to kill everyone on the island.
From the perspective of interests.
Why would he go back to being a pirate after being pardoned?
It's completely unreasonable.
But the scene in front of him couldn't be faked.
The bodies of pirates and guards were piled up there.
No one let them go to the island, how could there be so many pirates.
At this time, Shannara came back with her people.
Everyone rushed up and surrounded them in an instant.
"Madam Shannella, are you really going to attack the port?"
"Our people died over there, and there is no room for negotiation."
"President Shannella, it's not that I don't believe in Deputy Deacon Wu Heng, but it may be difficult for us to fight our way out alone!"
Shannella's eyebrows instantly raised.
According to the agreement between her and Wu Heng, gathering these people has already delayed time.
Now he is hesitating again.
He glanced at everyone present and said in a cold voice, "If the pirates win, can they let us go? Or, some of you are with the pirates, and when we mobilized our island guards last time, many people lobbied everyone to support it."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.
At first, the few people who questioned the most did not know how to defend themselves for a while.
No one who can get to the top of the merchant group is a fool.
Anyone who says more is a pirate and the enemy of everyone.
Moreover, thinking carefully at this time, when the guards were transferred away, many people did pursue this matter too much.
This led to a shortage of manpower on the island.
It is hard to say whether there are people who have already negotiated some conditions with the pirates.
Seeing that no one spoke, Shannara continued: "Pass the order down, everyone keep the formation and go to the port. Those who collaborate with the enemy, escape, and neglect will be killed on the spot."
Orders were passed down one by one.
After a brief chaos, the army began to move.
Heading towards the port.
Along the way, people continued to knock on the door and persuade the other party to join the team.
...
Inside the armored vehicle.
Minnie, Millicent, and Shannara were in the same car.
The armored vehicles behind were all carrying skeleton alchemists.
Shannara looked at it with some doubts, and was secretly surprised by the sophisticated and special equipment of the armored vehicle.
It turned out that there was not only a base for carrying weapons, but also such a complex device inside.
On the screen next to it, you can even see the surrounding scene.
It was like a picture reflected in a mirror.
Minnie hugged Shannara's arm and said, "Sister, is the master okay?"
Shannara was also a little worried, and still said, "He handed these to us, and he must have arranged a method."
Minnie said, "Why do you want to bring those people? Some of them have only a few guards, and they feel that they are struggling to breathe?"
Shannara glanced at the screen next to her, which was filled with many dignitaries.
She whispered, "How do you feel about Treasure Island?"
"Not very good, the pirates are too unstable." Minnie suddenly realized, "You are afraid that they will be attacked by pirates after we leave, right?"
"I'm not that great." Shannara smiled, "I always mentioned that your master saved this neighborhood."
"Ah, I heard it."
"You said, we won in the end, who should this island be divided to in the end?" Shannara looked at her.
Minnie was stunned, and suddenly sat up and looked at her.
Shannella continued, "Imilo has a high prestige and is from a royal family. Even if Wu Heng has made a great contribution this time, he is just a pawn in the association. His reputation and merits belong to the association."
"Afterwards, when the pirates fail, Treasure Island will need a new owner. Once the initiative is handed over to the association, it will never be Wu Heng's turn."
"All major merchant groups are involved. With a little operation, the next island owner can also compete, and it is still in accordance with the association's procedures. Of course, if the pirates are not defeated, no one will survive, and it doesn't matter."
Minnie and Millicent looked at her in surprise.
But they also understood the meaning.
That is to say, after the victory of this battle, if the island is designated by the association to designate the next island owner, it will be difficult for Wu Heng to take over.
The greater possibility is merit and monetary rewards.
But adding various merchant groups into it makes the appointment rules not only carried out by the association.
Then the situation will be much more controllable.
Shannara is confident that she can convince others to support Wu Heng.
"Really? Then what should we do next?" Minnie understood, but she didn't know what to do.
Shannara smiled, "Let these skeletons and this kind of equipment play the greatest power."
"Okay."
...
Semi-underground wine cellar.
The island owner 'Occam' sat cross-legged in front of the wooden table, admiring the tangled potted plants beside him.
I heard footsteps.
I looked up.
A subordinate walked in quickly, saying in a low voice, "Island owner, the association was not taken down. The undead deputy deacon came back with the skeletons and reoccupied the association."
'Occam', who was about to build a potted plant, had a condensed look in his eyes.
There was a little bit of disbelief in his eyes.
He asked, "Where is Tolga?"
"I haven't seen him!"
Occam narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"You go down first and wait outside."
The subordinate nodded and left the door directly.
Occam continued to pick up an item and placed it on the wooden table in front of him, with his hands floating in the air.
Then, he began to sense.
He opened his eyes again, his eyes were dazed.
Tolga is dead...
Even before, the pirates who arranged to kill the deputy deacon did not succeed.
But Tolga's failure still made him feel unbelievable.
How could this be possible!
Occam quickly calmed down.
He took out the letter paper and feather pen from the space ring and began to write.
After writing, put it in the envelope.
He disappeared in the next second.
At the same time, he shouted to the outside: "Come in."
The people outside came back again.
"Arrange a team of people to go to the east sentry post."
"Yes, island owner!"
...
Island owner's manor.
A slender figure knocked over the rockery behind him, stumbled, and rolled several times.
She jumped back to avoid the two swords that followed, and shouted angrily: "Imilo, are you crazy? Why are you always chasing me? Do whatever you want, I won't stop you."
Imilo chased after her with a sword, "Tell me, where is Occam?"
"How the hell should I know? I was just called here to stop you for a while, how would I know where he is hiding." The protector of the church, 'Viola', cursed without caring about her image.
Now, she has seen it.
Imilo is definitely stronger than the rumors.
She has almost used all her strength in the fight with the other party, but the other party may not have wasted much strength.
It is estimated that if he was not still on guard against the danger in the dark, he would have killed her with all his strength.
Imilo chased after her quickly, and the woman turned and ran.
When he stopped, she still watched from a distance.
Imilo stopped and remembered the 'earphones' that Wu Heng had given him before he left. He put them on his ears and asked, "Wu Heng, how are you doing?"
Not far away, Viola did not stop him.
She just took out two bottles of potion and drank them, leaning against the wall and looking at the other party.
She looked as if she would just stay in my sight.
Sure enough, Wu Heng's voice came from inside, "It's okay. The pirates who attacked the association have been killed. We are now organizing the repair of facilities to prevent the pirates from continuing to attack."
Hearing that the other party was fine, the pirates were also killed.
Imilo's cold face eased a little.
"Not bad." He praised and continued, "The island owner is not in the manor. Find a way to calculate his location and tell me."
"I'll try my best."
Imilo added again, "The pirates' reinforcements will arrive at the port at night. Arrange people to support Xilagui."
"Understood!"
...
Association.
Wu Heng received Imilo's message and his face turned ugly.
The island owner was not in the manor.
Imilo informed me in this way, but he did not come back. He must have been delayed by someone.
He was really well prepared.
It can even be said that the island owner calculated the changes in everyone's actions.
Only then could he arrange everything.
"Glenda, go and call Xiaoxiao back." Wu Heng said to the side.
The invisible Glenda flew straight through the roof and called Xiaoxiao back.
"What's wrong, uncle." Xiaoxiao said after flying back.
Wu Heng said: "The island owner behind the scenes can't find the location of people now, and you need your help to find where he is hiding."
Xiaoxiao half-lying in the air, thought for a while and said: "But we don't know him, we don't know what he looks like, how can we find him?"
Glenda also looked at him.
The two ghosts always heard him mention the island owner and some things about pirates.
But it is not clear what it looks like or what characteristics it has.
Wu Heng took out a tablet and called up a photo. "It looks like this. It looks like the one on the wanted poster about a year ago. The changes are not too big. It should be recognizable. Xiaoxiao can find people through psychic vision. He is level 18, the highest level."
The photo is the association's early wanted poster.
After the pardon, the appearance was not updated.
But compared with the previous one at the port, the change is not too big.
"What about your safety?" Grenada asked.
"It's okay, I'll stay here and wait for you to come back."
The two ghosts nodded, discussed with each other, and flew out through the wall.
One on the left and one on the right, they began to scout in the air and look for targets.
Wu Heng walked out of the room again and directed the others to continue repairing the association's facilities and make preparations for the next step.
According to Imilo, the pirates also arranged reinforcements.
They will arrive at night.
At this time, dusk had passed and the sky began to gradually darken.
...
The second wave of pirates did not come.
Soon, two ghosts flew back and forth.
Glenda said: "To the east, several teams are gathering outside. The island owner should be hiding there, otherwise it would be impossible to transfer troops there."
Xiaoxiao immediately said: "I also found many high-level professionals on Lighthouse Street. The island owner should be here."
Wu Heng was stunned.
Both sides discovered the situation?
