The Tianming Sect was founded only a short time ago and has no fixed territory.

This time they are fighting openly against the association. Even if they retreat now, the association will only issue warrants for their arrest everywhere.

So, there is no rush to leave.

Moreover, unlike the others, he is a necromancer and has viewed the entire island through ghosts.

Lighthouse Street is prosperous, with constant commercial ships, and the houses and roads are well built. Outside the residential area, various magical equipment is still being expanded.

It was better than any island or coastal town he had seen.

"Great Knight, what are your plans for tomorrow?" the subordinate asked again in a low voice.

"You will know then. Let the others come back and rest. There will be ghosts guarding outside."

"Yes."

The men retreated and carefully closed the door.

……

the next morning.

Wu Heng and the team leaders went to the conference room for a meeting.

Assistant Shi Yali brought several staff members to place the ordered breakfast on the long table, one portion for each person, including vegetables and soup.

Xilagui, wearing golden armor, sat in the first seat and said, "Let's eat and talk."

Everyone didn't hesitate and started eating at their seats.

Xi Lagui continued, "Yesterday the team checked two residential areas and the tavern on the commercial street. Today we will focus on investigating the remaining residences. We will strengthen the blockade of the roads in the areas that have been checked to prevent those people from running back."

After saying this, he continued to rearrange tasks for each team, which was a kind of rotation.

After the tasks were explained, Xilagui glanced at Wu Heng who had just finished his breakfast, and said, "Island Master Wu Heng, please tell us what we need to pay attention to when facing the Necromancer."

When Wu Heng heard this, his eyes widened.

What the hell are you trying to lead to me?

Xi Lagui still kept smiling, "Just tell us some things to be careful about, so that everyone can be more careful."

Wu Heng had no choice but to say directly: "The deacon asked me to speak, so I will tell you some of the information I already know and the things that need attention."

Everyone put down their cutlery and looked over at the same time.

Wu Heng continued, "The enemy's necromancer has more than two ghosts, which means he can better observe the situation in the city and avoid us. This is very disadvantageous to our search. In addition, ghosts are somewhat aggressive, so we must be more careful."

"Secondly, the opponent has a method similar to a shadow attacking from behind. It may be the Necromancer's Phantom. I can't confirm it yet because I don't know this trick. If it is a Phantom, be careful of dark places."

"The third point is to pay attention to the opponent's undead servants. Through last night's battle, we can confirm that the opponent knows the plague insect technique and corpse explosion technique. The plague insect technique can breed poisonous insects in the dead body, and after the poisonous insects die, they will release the corpse explosion technique. If you find that the corpse suddenly swells or has abnormal reactions, immediately distance yourself to reduce the damage to yourself."

As Wu Heng spoke, the people from each team kept wiping their sweat.

Necromancer, this is too difficult to deal with.

Not only can it conduct reconnaissance, but it also needs to be careful of its own shadow. Not only is the Undead Servant not afraid of death, it can also give birth to insects a second time, and the insects can explode.

How can we fight this?

There is no advantage at all.

Xilagui was listening at the side and felt okay at first, but as she listened, she noticed that the team leaders below were constantly wiping their sweat.

The morale began to gradually decline, and everyone seemed to be about to go out to die.

"Okay, thank you, Master Wuheng Island." Xilagui turned her head and glared at him reproachfully.

Wu Heng frowned in confusion and said, "You asked me to say it, why are you glaring at me?"

Xi Lagui clapped her hands, "It's okay. We are responsible for searching and finding targets, fighting and attacking, mainly relying on the island owner's skeleton guards. We have so many people, as well as armored vehicles, the level 18 pirate king, and the pirates of the Emerald Sea. We have killed them all. Why would we be afraid of this newly established cult?"

Everyone murmured and felt that what he said was true.

The opponent may not have reached level 18, but I have already killed a level 18 professional.

As long as the target is found, one shot will kill it without leaving any bones.

Wu Heng took out a radio headset from his space ring. "One for each team. Those who stayed behind in the association should also come and get one. If there is any situation, use this item to notify everyone. I will show you how to use it."

Each person took one, and Wu Heng followed suit to demonstrate.

Many people in the team have used it, and it is very easy to use. After a basic demonstration, everyone can use it.

Just as everyone was fiddling with their headphones, there was a sudden knock on the conference room door.

Then a staff member pushed the door open and said with a somewhat grim expression: "Deacon, there is news from outside that something happened in the patrol pavilion in the North District. The guards who stayed behind died, and all the skeletons died as well."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

Xilagui's expression also became serious in an instant.

He put the sword on the table on his waist and said, "Everyone proceed according to the plan. Wu Heng, come with me to the scene. The members of the association who stay behind will strengthen the guard."

Hurrah~!

Everyone got up and walked outside.

They separated and went about their own business according to previous arrangements.

……

About half an hour.

The association's carriage arrived at the North District Patrol Guard Pavilion.

The patrol booth is a place for patrol guards to rest and change shifts. Usually a team of skeletons is stationed there, and the patrol guards in the city will lead them on patrol.

The patrol guards are jointly selected by the association and the city hall, and the association is currently responsible for assigning patrol tasks.

The two men got off the carriage.

Looking up, I saw the blocked guard booth and the crowd of onlookers.

A guard came running over quickly. He was a middle-aged man with a serious expression and a look of helplessness and worry in his eyes.

He saluted and said, "Island Master, Deacon, the scene has not been moved much, it's all inside."

"Let's go over there."

Once inside the building, the tables and chairs had hardly been moved.

There were five bodies, one had his head turned to the back, and the others were killed by cold weapons.

There were also skull and bone fragments all over the ground.

Judging from the deaths, one person had his neck twisted by a ghost, and the remaining few were all killed by outsiders who rushed in.

However, this time there was no corpse explosion or plague insect spell.

The body was preserved relatively intact.

"Have you asked the people around you?" asked Xilagui.

The middle-aged guard said, "We checked and asked questions, but no one saw who did it. When we were patrolling here, we came in to check and discovered what was going on here."

"You found it?"

"Well, I happened to be passing by here on patrol. We usually run into each other and say hello. If there is any danger, we can support each other."

Xi Lagui nodded, "Stay outside first and pay attention to any suspicious people around. They may arrange someone to observe this place in the crowd."

"Understood." The guard retreated immediately.

Xi Lagui looked at Wu Heng again, "He is taking revenge on us. He killed his people yesterday, and he wants to kill our people today."

"It's more than revenge."

Xi Lagui narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"There's no way to question the corpse. To put it simply, the corpse has already been questioned. Five people have been questioned. What exactly did he ask?"

Xilagui's eyes also widened instantly.

……

Central District.

There are checkpoints on the road leading to the central area.

The guards are patrolling more frequently than before.

Defense was also carried out within the association, with several people in groups. As long as one person encountered a problem, people around would gather here immediately to provide support.

"I also need to order lunch, just like this morning, and you can just deliver it directly to the association." Shi Yali stood in the pub and ordered food for everyone.

The boss responded with a smile on his face and wrote it all down on paper.

Having a good relationship with the association is also beneficial to the operation of the pub.

After ordering.

Shi Yali put on a hood, put headphones around her neck, and walked out slowly.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw several tall figures coming towards me, blocking my way.

It was cold and filled with a faint stench of decay.

Shi Yali's pupils widened, and her heart began to beat violently. She pretended to be calm and smiled, "There are not many guests in the tavern. Please come this way."

A hoarse voice came out, "Shi Yali, assistant deacon."
