The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 462 - 378, Saw a Ghost

Chapter 462: Chapter 378, Saw a Ghost

The man’s head exploded, spattering sticky fresh blood all around.

The people beside him were stunned, noticing the blood on their hands and bodies, their complexions turned drastically.

Just as they thought to act,

Crack~!

The enclosure burst open, and another chest exploded. The upper body flew upwards as organs poured out noisily on the ground.

At that instant, everyone’s faces showed fear.

...

In disorder, they scattered in all directions.

Philippa was startled too, but she quickly realized this was to help her.

The few who wanted to steal her position were almost all dead.

There wouldn’t be much threat to her anymore.

She immediately shouted, “Don’t run around, take cover, everyone lie down on the deck.”

Hearing Philippa’s shout, the others sought cover or went prone on the deck.

The thunderous explosions did not resume, nor did anyone else get shattered.

After a while, someone cautiously raised their head to look outside and asked, “Captain, seems like it’s over.”

Philippa whistled at the sky and a parrot flew straight out.

After a scout, she stood up and said, “It’s clear now, put the gangway down, let’s check the cargo ship.”

The rest of the pirates stood up as well.

A gangway was placed between the two ships, and the pirates, wielding weapons, boarded the opposing cargo ship.

Philippa followed, surrounded by several people who were flattering her in low voices, “Captain, your plan was perfect.”

“Exactly, I always said following the Captain was the best decision.”

“Captain, watch your step.”

They seemed to have completely forgotten about the crew members who just got shattered.

Every pirate’s face was filled with excitement and anticipation for the ship’s cargo.

Philippa enjoyed the adulation of her crew but remained calm on the surface.

“Go check the hold, stop crowding me,” she instructed.

“Yes, Captain!”

With that, everyone rushed into the hold.

Then, someone hurriedly ran out again.

Exclaiming, “Captain, they are top-quality fabrics, with embroidery and patterns, we’ll surely make a good profit this trip.”

Philippa then entered the hold.

She saw piles and piles of neatly arranged fabrics;

The designs and patterns on them were clearly not the cheap kind ordinary people could afford but sophisticated and vibrant.

Philippa’s eyes gradually widened, surprised to have such high-quality goods delivered to her.

This was more valuable than the likes of leather and grain.

Watching the pirates caressing the fabric, Philippa went up and kicked, yelling, “Stop touching, cover them up, get them moved to the main ship.”

The pirates withdrew their hands.

And began moving the cargo.

After all the fabrics were transferred to the main ship,

Philippa stood on the deck and said, “Kam, you are now captain of the secondary ship, prepare to set sail, we’re leaving this place.”

“Alright, Captain,” replied Kam, his skin dark and body muscular, responding loudly.

The unexpected promotion to captain couldn’t hide the joy on his face.

He felt fortunate that he had chosen to side with Philippa in the earlier power struggle,

Now he was a secondary ship captain, and many who had sought to remove ‘Philippa’ from her position were dead.

Philippa might deal with the rest later.

Philippa continued to shout, “The rest of you, back to your posts, we’re leaving here.”

“Yes!”

The pirates responded and returned to their stations.

The two ships maintained distance as they sailed away into the distance.

…

Elsewhere, shrouded by night at sea,

Glenda passed through the darkness, returning to Wu Heng’s side.

She whispered, “No issues with the pirates there. That ‘Miss Philippa’ seems quite capable, appointed a new secondary ship captain, and the pirates seem to respect her a lot.”

“Those she ordered killed earlier, who were they?”

“According to her, it seemed like they were the pirates wanting to seize power.”

Wu Heng nodded, then pulled out a tablet to check the sea chart, and said, “Let’s go, we’re also leaving here, to land on an island first.”

Rustle~!

The ship sailed off toward the distance.

…

Dawn.

Wu Heng sat on the side of the ship, wringing out his garment forcefully into the sea.

The wind and waves of the sea, along with the morning mist, left him and the Skeletons drenched as if they’d been fished out of water.

Yet all around was still a boundless ocean surface,

With no sign of the target island in sight.

Navigation at sea was nothing like the proximity suggested on the sea chart.

Just then, Xiao Xiao returned once more from afar, shouting, “There’s another pirate ship coming.”

Wu Heng’s hands paused in their motion as he looked toward the distance.

Visibility was better during the day.

On the distant sea, a ship with a black pirate flag became visible.

He took out his telescope and examined the pirate flag.

The emblem was an ‘epee vertically piercing through a skull.’

He quickly pulled out his tablet, matching the information with the Pirate Wanted Order.

The Stab Sword Pirate Group, captain level 12 swordsman.

Their level was comparable to ‘Philippa’s’ pirate group.

“Uncle, we should move!” Xiao Xiao continued.

Looking up, he saw the pirate ship disregarding them, turning around and heading for the ‘Sinana route.’

Glancing at the pirate ship, then at the wooden ship beneath his feet,

“Shark Teeth, Kerim, go over and seize that ship,” Wu Heng ordered directly.

Shark Teeth stood up and dived into the sea.

Kerim stepped onto Shark Teeth’s back, squatted slightly, and swiftly headed in the direction of the pirate ship.

…

Meanwhile,

On the Stab Sword pirate ship,

The pirates frowned together at the sight of the two distant wooden ships.

Someone asked, “Captain, are those the two wooden ships? They look like fishing boats.”

The middle-aged man with the captain’s hat glanced at the two wooden ships far off in his view.
