Chapter 506: Chapter 417: Revolving Machine Cannon (One more update today.)_2

“Not at all, just practicing casually; it’s not meant to be lethal,” Mini said coyly.

“I think it’s quite impressive; it at least proves you have talent.”

“Really? You’re so nice, Master. I even feel like I’ve become much more powerful.” Mini hugged his arm and gently shook it, then she noticed something about his attire, “Are you going out, Master? Wei’er might be coming back soon!”

“I need to step out for a bit, and I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Oh, okay, then we’ll wait for you to come back for dinner.”

Wu Heng nodded and went straight out of his residence.

He called for a carriage and headed towards the port area.

He entered the association’s harbor and boarded his ship.

In the gloomy ship’s hold, a dense array of skeletons stood at the ready, the light of Soul Fire flickering within their eye sockets.

“Shark Teeth,” Wu Heng called out.

The broad-boned skeleton ‘Shark Teeth’ emerged from within the hold, standing before him.

“Tonight, take the ship to the port of Giant Pincer Island. Avoid other ships and people. I’ll come over in the morning,” Wu Heng instructed.

Shark Teeth headed straight for the control room.

Wu Heng disembarked, and the ship slowly began to move.

It set off, leaving the harbor.

After confirming that the ship had entered the open sea, Wu Heng called for another carriage and returned to his residence.

…

Back at the residence.

Dinner was ready, and the two maids sat in the living room, waiting for his return.

Seeing him come back, they served dinner.

“Master, what did that pirate mistress want with you?” Mini asked while eating.

Wu Heng took a sip from his glass, “She provided some pirate intelligence and asked me to capture someone.”

“Ah, is that like betraying her companions?” Mini widened her eyes.

“She was planted among the pirates as a spy; how could it be considered betrayal?” Wu Heng replied.

Andre Willow added, “Pirates are even more cruel and disorderly than bandits. Sometimes, they drift on the sea for days or even months, and incidents of killing companions or even the captain occur.”

“Ah? Are pirates that bad? The comics don’t show them like that,” Mini remarked.

Wu Heng pondered and then explained softly, “Those stories are written from the perspective of the pirates. If you look at it from the point of view of the ordinary islanders, you would think the navy is still the force of justice. Kindness and passion are scarce among pirates.”

“Oh! Well, okay.” Mini nodded.

They dined together, and Wu Heng continued to give instructions, “Be careful when you go out. There might be pirates on the island gathering information about us.”

“Oh, alright!”

After dinner.

Wu Heng took a bath with the service of the two women.

Then he went upstairs to rest.

…

As darkness fell.

Wu Heng pushed open the bedroom door and saw Shanaela coming over from the roof.

“I thought you were asleep!” Shanaela jumped down barefoot.

She walked into the bedroom and casually hung her coat aside.

Her fluid movements were as if she were in her own home.

“I knew you would come,” Wu Heng said as he followed her, closing the door behind them.

Shanaela sat sideways on the bed, lifting her skirt to one side, as her silk dress gradually slid up, revealing her smooth and flawless legs.

Soon, the hem of her dress had risen to the top of her thigh, partly concealing and revealing her legs as Shanaela curled up on the bed, casting a sidelong glance.

Wu Heng watched her, apparently calm but with flushed cheeks.

He walked over quickly and licked his lips, “Have you been drinking?”

“Today, the trade unions and the guard team of Gold and Silver Island organized a sea voyage to attend a banquet. I had a few drinks,” Shanaela said softly.

Wu Heng pushed her down onto the bed, the dress covering her head as he started kissing down her tender neck.

He continued to inquire, “A joint voyage? What for?”

“To drive away the pirates. It’s organized by the island master. The pirates have been very active lately, and all trade unions support this initiative,” Shanaela replied softly, hugging his head and humming quietly.

Wu Heng leaned in closer.

Her legs naturally wrapped around his waist.

Wu Heng continued questioning, “Is the island master trustworthy?”

“Hmm, not very, but the trade unions are profit-driven. As long as it benefits the current situation, they naturally show support,” she explained.

“Right,” Wu Heng nodded, focusing back on the task at hand without speaking further.

…

The next day, in the morning.

After breakfast, Wu Heng left some instructions with the two maids and then left the residence.

He found a secluded spot.

Took out his [Conductor’s Hat] and placed it squarely on his head.

A rift opened beside him, and the Phantom Train pulled up next to him.

Wu Heng boarded the train and marked [Scorpion Pincer Island] in the record book.

The doors closed, and the train vanished from sight.

The train appeared over Scorpion Pincer Island after half an hour.

The sea breeze howled, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks resonated from the port.

Gazing toward the direction of the port,

his ship had already docked at the harbor.

Skeletons paced back and forth on the deck, inspecting the surroundings.

Wu Heng hurried over, boarded the ship, and continued to give orders, “Enter ‘Jasik Route’, and proceed along the route.”

…

The vessel swiftly sailed across the sea.

The ‘Shark Teeth’ attribute included those relevant to navigation.

The handling of the ship was highly proficient, and with no cargo on board, the speed of the ship was significantly faster.

After half a day’s journey,

‘Xiao Xiao’, acting as the lookout, flew down from above and said, “Uncle, pirate ships can be seen ahead, probably the ones you’re looking for.”

Wu Heng looked into the distance, where the vast sea stretched to the horizon, but could not see any ships.

“I don’t see them, come back and let me take a look.”

Xiao Xiao entered his body, and the view was shared.

Several pirate ships floated in the distance on the surface of the sea.

Xiao Xiao’s ‘Spirit Vision’ enabled him to see the different levels of light emanating from the bodies on board the ships.

The highest was only Level 10, and even though the pirate flags weren’t clear yet, they were most likely the pirate fleet Philippa had spoken of.

Closer than anticipated, not even a day’s sail away.

He released Xiao Xiao again, and the ship continued forward.

Wu Heng then took out two double-barreled machine cannons and a rotary machine cannon, and assigned different skeletons to operate them.

Next, he distributed heavy machine guns, rifles, rocket launchers, and grenades to the remaining skeletons.

The main idea was to provide ample firepower and not give the adversary time to counterattack.

As they approached,

the position of the pirate ships became clearer.

There were nine pirate ships in total, surrounding a severely damaged cargo ship in the middle.

On deck were crew members barely resisting and pirates exhilarated as if they were on an adrenaline rush.

…

As they drew near,

three medium-sized speedboats quickly approached head-on, with over twenty people on each, carrying various weapons.

They pointed and laughed at their side,

as if they had seen another batch of goods come to their doorstep.

Suddenly, the speedboats drew closer, and a pirate with yellow teeth standing on the railing shouted up, “We are the Silver Scale Pirates, here to borrow some money from you.”

Another person chimed in, “No money, no problem, we’ll take your goods, and we can take good care of your women too.”

Ha ha ha~!

The surrounding pirates all laughed along.

It was as if the plundering of the ship behind them had nothing to do with them, and the cargo ship in front had become a fat sheep awaiting slaughter.

The pirates laughed, and the two magic ballistas on the medium ships had already turned their direction toward them.

The other pirates were also ready to board.

Just when they were about to forcefully board the ship,

Wu Heng leaned out from above.

All the pirates were momentarily stunned, their brows furrowing afterward.

A man in his twenties, with black hair and black eyes.

Was that a skeleton attendant by his side?

Why did this person look so familiar?

“Gold and Silver Island’s Vice-executive!” someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone immediately came to their senses, with looks of doubt, surprise, and disbelief flashing in their eyes.

The yellow-toothed pirate immediately shouted, “Ballista, kill him quick.”

However, the next second, the deck’s edge was swarmed by skeletons holding strange devices.

The cargo ship was already much higher than the medium speedboats.

Those things that looked like black iron pipes were pointed downward.

“Attack, kill him, quickly!” the pirates urged loudly.

The ballista strained to elevate to its maximum angle, while the others also took out crossbows aiming at the commercial law.

The next second, Wu Heng aimed the rotary machine cannon at the yellow-toothed pirate’s ship.

Whoo~!

The machine cannon spun rapidly, bullets ejected, like a fire-breathing dragon.

And in the waves churned up by the bullets,

the ship of the yellow-toothed pirates shattered instantly, breaking into countless fragments amidst the flying debris.

Wu Heng looked on in surprise at this scene.

He hadn’t expected the firing rate to be so fast.

The pirates were even more shocked, as the entire ship just vanished from sight.

“Damn it, what is this thing!”
