The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 548 - 454 On My Side (Second Update)

Chapter 548 -454, On My Side (Second Update) Chapter 548 -454, On My Side (Second Update) The crowd surged forward, instantly surrounding them.

“Lady Shanaila, are we really going to attack the port?”

“Our people died over there, and there’s no room for negotiation anymore.”

“Chairwoman Shanaila, it’s not that I don’t trust Deputy Steward Wu Heng, but just with us, to fight our way out might be somewhat difficult!”

Shanaila’s eyebrows shot up instantly.

According to her agreement with Wu Heng, gathering these people had already delayed them.

And now they were hesitating again.

Her gaze swept over everyone present, her voice cold, “If the pirates win, do you think they would spare us? Or is it that some of you are already with the pirates, advocating for the support when our island guards were mobilized last time.”

Upon these words, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Those who had been the most skeptical at first were at a loss for words.

None of those who had made it to the top of the trade guild were fools.

They naturally understood the implication in ‘Philippa’s’ words.

Whoever spoke further would be the pirates’ people, the enemy of everyone.

Moreover, upon closer thought, when the guards were transferred away, indeed too many had been overly adulatory about the matter.

Leading to a shortage of manpower on the island.

Seeing no one spoke, Shanaila continued, “Send the orders down, everyone maintain formation and proceed to the port; those who collude with the enemy, run away, or show negligence, will be executed on the spot.”

A series of commands were passed down.

The army, after a short period of chaos, began to mobilize.

Moving towards the direction of the port.

Along the way, more people continued to knock on doors, convincing others to join the ranks.

…

Inside the armored vehicle.

Mini, Millicent, and Shanaila were seated in one together.

The armored vehicles behind them were all carrying the Skeleton Alchemy Warlocks.

Shanaila looked a bit surprised at the armored vehicle’s precise and special equipment, inwardly amazed.

It was not just fitted with weapon mounts; the interior actually had such elaborate devices.

On the adjacent screen, one could even see the surrounding scenery.

As if the images were being projected out of a mirror.

Mini, hugging Shanaila’s arm, said, “Sister, is the master okay over there?”

Shanaila was also somewhat concerned but still said, “He entrusted these to us, he must have arranged a way for himself.”

Mini made a sound of acknowledgment, then continued to ask, “Why involve those people? Some of them just have a few guards and seem to barely manage to breathe?”

Shanaila glanced at the shadow screen beside her, displaying numerous elites.

She whispered, “How do you feel about Gold and Silver Island?”

“Not very good, the pirates are too unstable.” Mini suddenly realized, “You’re afraid that if we leave, they’ll be attacked by pirates, right?”

“I’m not that noble.” Shanaila smiled, “I always mentioned that your master saved this block.”

“Ah, I heard.”

“You say, if we win in the end, to whom should this island ultimately be allocated?” Shanaila looked at her.

Mini was taken aback, suddenly sitting up straight to look at her.

Shanaila went on, “Imilo has high prestige and royal lineage, even if Wu Heng contributes greatly this time, he’s still just a piece on the council’s chessboard. Reputation and merit all belong to the council.”

“After the pirates are defeated, Gold and Silver Island will need a new master. If the right to appoint the new master falls into the hands of the council, then Wu Heng will hardly have a chance.”

“All the major trade guilds are involved; with a little maneuvering, the next Island Master can also be contended for. Of course, within the procedures that comply with the council’s process. Of course, if we don’t defeat the pirates, and nobody survives, then it doesn’t matter anyway.”

Mini and Millicent looked at her in surprise, but they also understood the implication.

Meaning, if the council gets to appoint the next Island Master after this battle, then it would be difficult for Wu Heng’s side to be considered.

The greater likelihood is a reward of merit and money.

But by involving the various trade guilds, letting the appointment not only be carried out by the council,

The manipulability of the matter increases significantly.

Shanaila was confident she could persuade others to support Wu Heng a bit.

“Really? Then what do we need to do next?” Mini understood but didn’t know what action to take.

Shanaila smiled, “Just let these skeletons and such machinery exert their maximum power.”

“Okay.”

…

In the half-underground wine cellar.

Island Master ‘Ockham’ sat cross-legged before a wooden table, admiring the twisted potted plant beside him.

He heard footsteps approaching.

He looked up.

A subordinate hurried in, his tone grave, “Island Master, the council failed to take it down. That Necromancy Deputy Steward led the skeletons back and retook the council.”

‘Ockham’, who had been planning to arrange his potted plants, his gaze intense.

In his eyes, disbelief was seeping through.

He asked, “What about Tuolga?”

“He wasn’t seen!”

Ockham’s eyes narrowed slightly, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

“You go first, wait outside.”

The subordinate nodded and immediately exited the room.

Ockham then continued to pick up an object and placed it in front of him on the wooden table, his hands floating in the air above it.

Then, he began the sensing process.

When he reopened his eyes, his gaze was in a daze.

Tuolga was dead…

Even though the pirates he had arranged to kill the Deputy Steward had not succeeded.

But Tuolga’s failure still felt unbelievable to him.

How could this be!

Ockham quickly calmed himself down.

He took out paper and a feather pen from the Space Ring and began to write.

After finishing, he placed it into an envelope.

The next second, it vanished from sight.

At the same time, he called out to the outside, “Come in.”

The person from outside came back in.
