Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Most of the slaves in the cabin were women and children, which made Wu Heng begin to doubt the identity and purpose of the ship.

Let Xiaoxiao out and let it float aside.

"Uncle, is he a bad guy?"

Wu Heng glanced at the kingdom’s flag hanging and the somewhat panicked kingdom sailors on the deck.

"We're not completely sure yet. Maybe they are the families of those who wiped out the pirate village." Wu Heng said.

Pirate islands and pirate villages also exist.

After the pirates were killed, the women and children also needed some local arrangements.

Basically they won't kill together.

"I don't think he's a good person." Xiaoxiao muttered to the side.

"Then let them stop the ship for inspection." Wu Heng said, and then said to the skeleton behind him: "Send Philippa over."

The skeleton walked away quickly, and then came over with Philippa and the fifth princess 'Brittany'.

Following Wu Heng's gaze, he glanced forward, "The ship of the Yeko Kingdom."

Wu Heng nodded and continued to ask, "Could it be possible that he came back from suppressing bandits?"

"Are you talking about pirates?" Philippa put her hand on Wu Heng's shoulder. "We are almost at the Kingdom Port. Have you ever seen anyone fighting pirates at the gate?"

"There must be something wrong with this ship." Wu Heng looked at the other ship trying to bypass it and said to Philippa, "Go and tell those three ships to stop for inspection."

Philippa was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Damn, it's a search ship, I like it."

Then he walked quickly into the wheelhouse, picked up the microphone and said, "There is a Yeko Kingdom ship ahead. Stop the ship for inspection. I repeat, stop the ship for inspection."

The sound was transmitted through the ship's loudspeaker and echoed on the sea.

Everyone on the headquarters ship walked out of the cabin and looked at the kingdom ship in the distance.

The sailors on the Yeko Kingdom ship were frightened by the loud shout.

His hands moved faster, but he had no intention of stopping. He pretended not to hear the nod and left faster.

Now, everyone felt that something was wrong. A normal ship would not make such a move even if it did not want to contact the association.

Seeing that the ship had no intention of stopping, Wu Heng jumped onto a bone dragon and said, "Stop the ship."

……

Huhuhu~!

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and several bone dragons flew into the sky with people.

Forcefully land on the enemy's ship.

Then, the magic circle flashed, and the old wizard Janvito and two other level 18 professionals were teleported directly over.

The faces of the people on the deck suddenly turned ugly. They held the weapons at their waists, their eyes wandered for a while, but they still did not draw their weapons.

"Several leaders from the association..." A burly man wearing a captain's uniform and a standard sword on his waist walked out of the cabin quickly.

He shouted, then looked around at the people on the deck, his pupils contracted again, and he stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything going on?"

Wu Heng also looked at the situation on the ship. Team Five Captain Kavina said, "Are you from the Yeko Kingdom's fleet?"

"We are a fleet from the Yeko Kingdom and we are on a patrol mission," the burly man replied.

The uniforms of the Yeko Kingdom Navy have wave patterns, which also represent the navy's identity.

"I just told you to stop the boat, why didn't you?" Wu Heng walked over and asked.

"This..." The burly man licked his cracked lips and said, "We have never seen such a big ship. We thought it was pirates, so we wanted to leave first."

"Can't see the association's flag?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I see, it's us who are ignorant, please don't be offended, adults."

As he said this, he handed over a bag full of coins.

Wu Heng and the others frowned instantly.

This person's words are completely illogical.

First he pretended not to hear, then he said he thought it was a pirate, and now he is just giving money away.

It's obvious that the words were not well composed.

"What is on the boat?" Wu Heng asked.

When the burly man saw that no one took the money bag, his expression became even uglier, "I didn't pull anything."

As he spoke, he put away his purse and subconsciously took small steps back.

With one hand behind his back, he gestured to his people.

Wu Heng looked at the other party's small movements and said directly: "Search the ship."

The burly man's eyes suddenly focused, and he shouted, "Do it."

Ziz~Bang!

The words have not yet fallen.

A bolt of lightning struck the burly man's chest, and his body flew backwards, vomiting blood before he could even stand up.

Then the skeleton servant Keranmu rushed to the opponent and cut his neck with his sword.

The head fell and blood spread out.

The battle was basically completed in an instant.

Before the others could react, they saw the head rolling to their feet.

All the sailors stood there in a daze, their faces showing fear and struggle.

"The association is handling the case, and those who cooperate with the investigation can live." Wu Heng said in a cold voice.

"I, we surrender." Someone said and threw away their weapons.

Following the first one, the rest dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

The sound of weapons being thrown onto the deck was continuous.

Wu Heng said: "Tie him up."

Kavina and others immediately took out ropes and tied up the rest of the people.

Among all the people on the ship, only the burly man who died reached level 12.

The rest are also at level 10 or even lower.

In the eyes of the association's headquarters investigation team, beating him was no different from beating a child.

Even if they resisted, the outcome would have been the same.

"Is there a problem with the ship?" asked the association's elder 'Tapani' directly.

These three ships are official ships of the Yeko Kingdom. They can be stopped and inspected.

Now that the person has been killed, things are different.

If there is no reasonable reason.

By then, it might be a topic for the Yeko Kingdom to fight back.

"There is a problem." Wu Heng said.

Elder 'Tapani' asked, "What's the problem?"

Several people in our department looked over here.

Wu Heng said calmly: "We will know after we search the ship."

As they were talking, the people who were inspecting the ship also came up.

One of them bowed and said, "Elder, several adults, there are a large number of women and children imprisoned in the cabin. Initial understanding is that they are people from nearby villages. They have been captured and we don't know where they are being transported to."

The deck was suddenly quiet.

He glanced at Wu Heng with surprise.

There is indeed a problem.

"Elder, what do you think of the arrangements?" Wu Heng asked the elf elder.

"Since it has been confirmed that there is a problem, the identities of these three ships need to be investigated clearly. Let the people from the Vatican deal with the emotions of the detainees first. All these crew members and sailors will be detained and awaiting investigation." Tapani said directly.

"Yes!" The association members took action immediately.

Wu Heng also said to Philippa: "These three ships will join the fleet and continue to move forward."

It will take about another day to reach Inner Tale.

The fleet cannot stay for too long.

"Okay, I got it." Philippa also started to act.

……

Wu Heng boarded Feilong and returned to the frigate.

Just landed on the deck.

The magic circle lit up again, and Janvito and the other two followed closely and teleported up.

"How did you find out there was a problem?" asked Elder 'Tapani'.

The dwarf investigator also took out his notebook and began to prepare records.

When facing this investigator, Wu Heng always felt like he was being watched by a camera that might be used to collect evidence at any time.

"I asked the ghosts to investigate the interior and found the people imprisoned inside." Wu Heng replied.

None of the three were surprised that the Necromancer had ghosts.

It is a professional characteristic.

But ghosts can't always find their targets. At least they have to be aware that there is a problem with the fleet before arranging ghosts to investigate.

"Then why bother to say so much on the boat? Just arrest the people directly." Tapani said again.

Wu Heng continued, "I can't completely confirm the other party's identity. There are some pirate-controlled islands and villages in the Emerald Sea, and sometimes there are some pirates' families who are transferred away for investigation or resettlement.

So stop them and see how they react.

After we boarded the ship, their statements were obviously inconsistent. One moment they thought we were pirates, the next they said we were giving them money. But they didn’t explain the matter of the escorts on board. There was clearly something wrong.”

The elder nodded. "Yes, very sharp insight."

The old wizard Janvito asked, "So, they are not the fleet of the Yeko Kingdom?"

"We can't be sure yet, let's ask the corpse later!" Wu Heng replied.

The dwarf investigator was recording the conversation between several people.

While talking.

The skeleton dragon fell from the sky. Philippa jumped off the dragon's back and said, "Those people have been detained. A total of twelve people were killed. They are all here."

With a wave of his hand, several corpses wrapped in straw mats were taken out.

Among them was the burly man who had been killed.

Wu Heng glanced at the corpses and directly used [Talk to the Dead] on one of them.

The dead body suddenly sat up and looked over here with cloudy eyes.

Wu Heng asked directly: "What is your status in the power or organization?"

"They are members of the White Wing Gang, and are now serving in the defense force of the city of Tale in the Yeko Kingdom." The corpse replied.

Several people frowned.

Gang members are also the kingdom’s city defense forces?

Besides, how did the White Wing Gang get this name? It sounds like all the members are not very smart.

"How did you get into the army?"

"We don't know either, but the military is recruiting people, and gangs are also on the recruitment list."

That's reasonable.

When the city of Rentam was in chaos, the gang members in the city were also taken advantage of.

The gang leader is appointed as the commander or captain, and all the gang members under him become thugs.

Wu Heng then asked, "Where are you taking the people in your cabin?"

"Take it to Bejaia City, where someone will receive it."

“What are these people used for?”

"I don't know."

Wu Heng pondered the last question.

Then he asked, "Did you arrest these people?"

The corpse replied solemnly, "I heard from the leader that these were arranged by the officials of Netale City. There are clothes prepared on the boat. We can wear them and escort so many people."

Five questions finished, and the body fell back to the ground with a thump.

However, Wu Heng and the others all frowned.

Although it has not been fully figured out yet, the general idea of ​​the matter is clear.

These people were originally members of the White Wing Gang. The city of Neitale began recruiting soldiers on a large scale and included gangs in it.

So he transformed himself from a gang member into a soldier in the city.

They were originally responsible for the city's defense, but this time officials from the city of Neitale arranged for them to escort the population out.

The association’s elder Tapani and old wizard Gianvito.

Even Philippa and the dwarf investigator looked serious.

Clearly, this was a case of human trafficking by local officials.

The Kingdom of Yeko is rotten to the core.

Started trafficking in people.

Wu Heng glanced at the investigator behind him and said, "Mr. Sim, did you record it?"

The dwarf investigator nodded, "I have finished recording."

Wu Heng continued to release [Talk to the Dead], and the second corpse sat up.

"Who are the officials who ordered you to transport people?"

"I don't know."

"Apart from you, are there any other ships doing this?"

"I don't know."

"What's your leader's name?"

"Patrais."

"What is the cause of the chaos in the city?"

The corpse replied, "The garrison troops in the city of Neitale fought a war with an outside army, and many people died."

last question.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the death of the local deacon of the association?"

"do not know."

Wu Heng then continued to question the three bodies, asking about the White Wing Gang and the civil unrest in the city.

Wu Heng stood where he was, organizing the information he had obtained.

Regarding the transportation of women and children, the identity of the officials behind the incident was not revealed, but after entering the city, we can start with the leader of the White Wing Gang.

He must know who the official was who arranged all this.

The second point is the issue of the city of Inner Tale.

The previous chaos was caused by a battle between the City Lord's Mansion and the city defense forces and an outside army that attempted to take over the city.

At the end of the fight, no one could tell who was who.

The person currently in charge of this city is still the original city lord.

These people were not aware of the issue of the death of the local deacon. They only knew that for a long time, the local association hall had been closed and it was difficult to see the association members.

After the information is sorted out.

Wu Heng looked at the three level 18 professionals and asked, "Elder, Dean, do you have any questions?"

"Not at the moment. Don't destroy the remaining corpses. They may be useful later." Elder Tapani said.

Wu Heng nodded and said, "Deal with these bodies that have been interrogated, and roll up the remaining straw mats."

The bodies that had released [Talk with the Dead] were thrown into the sea, and the rest were wrapped in straw mats and put into Wu Heng's space ring.

Elder Tapani asked, "How long will it take to reach Netare?"

"There's only one day left."

"Okay, let's go back first. Let us know when we're almost there," Tapani said.

The old wizard Janvito cast the [Teleportation Spell] and returned to his ship.

Wu Heng brought Philippa back to the cab.

The fifth princess stood up, frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did you kill the navy?"

Philippa looked at her. "How do you feel?"

Faced with Philippa's righteous question, the fifth princess frowned and felt uneasy.

Said: "I believe in the island master Wu Heng, I just want to know the reason."

Philippa sat aside carelessly and said, "Your officers, in league with gang members, wear navy uniforms and traffic women and children. They are more cruel than us pirates. We won't sell our own people either."

The Fifth Princess frowned even deeper, her eyes full of suspicion, and she looked at Wu Heng fiercely, "Master Island Master, is this true?"

Wu Heng said: "This is the current situation."

The fifth princess stopped talking and sat down on a chair beside her with a gloomy face.

Wu Heng also fell into deep thought.

We will arrive at Netale City tomorrow, and the purpose of our trip will also begin.

Will the city bring danger to me?

Can we catch the murderer who killed the local deacon?

These are all problems that need to be faced.

Even if these two issues are resolved, how should he enter the struggle for power and enhance his reputation?

Somewhat difficult to handle.

Wu Heng frowned and fell into deep thought.

……

Noon the next day.

The fleet arrived in the waters near the city of Netale.

Three level 18 professionals, Wu Heng and Philippa, stood on the deck of the frigate.

From a distance, I could see the neatly built but unusually deserted port.

There was no mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood as described in the intelligence, but it also looked like an empty city.

There was no one in sight.

Soon, the empty port began to become lively.

The stationed navy spotted the approaching ship.

The ships formed a strict defense line, covering the port tightly.

"Send the letter first and see what they say," said Elder Tapani.

Wu Heng also said, "Send the letter to them."

A team member delivered the letter by speedboat.

Not long after, the team members returned quickly with grim expressions, "They said that Neitale City will not accept any ships to dock now, including ours."

Tapani's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Did they say our headquarters came to investigate?"

"I told you, but it has no effect." The member nodded.
