Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1066, Battle

Wu Heng stood in front of the door, the rising sunlight casting a long shadow on him.

His eyes swept across the heavily guarded military camp in front of him.

The dwarf wiped the sweat from his forehead, his Adam's apple rolling as he spoke cautiously, "Sir, we are fully coordinating this matter and would absolutely not want to delay your use of the Molten Core."

He lowered his voice and continued, "Lord Leander has sent an urgent letter requesting that the chief handle this matter personally."

"When will your leader reply?" Wu Heng retracted his gaze and continued to ask.

The dwarf rubbed his fingers nervously. "The fastest...it will take ten days."

"Another ten days?" Wu Heng sneered, "First, the mountain was closed for ten days, and now it takes another ten days to deliver the letter. It seems like you guys have made an agreement to plot against me!"

As they were talking, some changes took place inside the military camp.

Some additional personnel were deployed at the entrance, and crossbows and bows and arrows could be vaguely seen in the hands of the dwarves on the wall.

The dwarf glanced in the direction of the military camp and took a few steps forward. "Sir! We, the Bruenor family, have always been trustworthy. We promised you the right to use it for fifteen days, and we will never break our promise..."

"and then?"

The dwarf swallowed his saliva and said, "Captain Flarri is a direct descendant of Chief Dwalin. Even if he has some ideas, they have absolutely nothing to do with us.

Talking to each other face to face, they could be sure that the dwarf in front of them was not lying.

In other words, in his opinion, the two sides were not colluding with each other.

Among the dwarves, there are two heroes. The leader of the association is Bruno, the leader of the hunters who promised Wu Heng to use the Molten Core.

The other one, Wu Heng hadn't paid much attention to, now seemed to be the mentioned Dwalin.

"Take me to see him." Wu Heng said coldly.

"Don't!" the dwarf followed closely behind him, admonishing, "Flarri is not only powerful, but also highly respected in the army. If you barge in like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Heng had already strode towards the military camp.

The dwarf soldiers guarding the gate immediately crossed their axes and shouted sternly, "Seal the mountain! Retreat immediately."

Just as he shouted, the guards' eyes became dull and they fell to the ground one after another like cut ears of wheat. Their weapons and armor hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

The alarm bells suddenly rang in the military camp, and the sound of iron boots stepping on the ground sounded like thunder.

In a blink of an eye, hundreds of fully armed dwarf soldiers lined up, with their weapons shining coldly pointing towards the door.

The dwarf who had just followed him, with a copper whistle hanging around his neck, stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.

He really took action, and his strength was really strong.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and ran to the back, trying to call for help as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting worse.

"He's coming!" I heard the queen's reminder.

The army formation parted like a tide, and a dwarf with a heavy armor and a beard as hard as steel came out, followed by two adjutants half a step behind him. The medals on his chest were exceptionally bright.

"How dare you!" the bearded dwarf said in a booming voice, "You're the first to trespass into the Deepforge military camp!"

Wu Heng looked him up and down, "You ordered the mountain to be closed?"

Ferrari stroked his thick beard and averted his gaze from the other man. "It's the clan rule to close the mountain. How about this? I'll return the 2,500 gold coins to you. You can use them after the closure is over."

Wu Heng suddenly laughed, "Two thousand five hundred gold and you want to buy a top-notch treasure? If I take this money, and Treasure Island pursues me, you'll have something to say, right?"

Ferrari's face darkened. "Either take the money and leave, or..."

Pointing at the fallen guard, he said, "Add another charge of attacking a military camp!"

"Treasure Island and Chief Bruno reached an agreement face to face. How dare you, a mere commander, break the agreement?" Wu Heng's tone became increasingly impatient.

"Ha~! Everything I did was within the rules. Do you think that breaking the contract means breaking the contract?" Ferrari stroked his beard, his tone full of confidence.

Even if the matter is reported back, as long as we can argue over it, the problem will not be too big.

By then, the rare item will be in your hands, and the other party won’t even know what to do if they want to pursue the matter. After a long time, the matter will be over.

Wu Heng sighed, "I'll give you two choices. First, lift the mountain closure and let this matter go. Second, I'll kill you and take 2,500 gold as compensation to you dwarves."

In terms of timing, now is definitely not a good time to have a conflict with the dwarves.

After all, Treasure Island has not yet been completely settled. If something like this happens now, it is very likely to push the dwarves to the side of the Holy See.

But once something happens, it has to be resolved.

Especially when the other person is riding on your neck.

"A lackey?" Ferrari snorted coldly, then burst into laughter. "Let's see what you can do..."

Whoosh~!

Before he could finish his words, Ferrari's pupils suddenly shrank and the figure in front of him suddenly became blurred, as if it had melted into the air.

Startled, his close combat instinct made him swing his battle axe without thinking and chop it down forward!

"die!"

However, before the axe blade fell, Wu Heng approached him like a ghost, and his right knee hit his chest and abdomen like a cannonball.

Boom!

There was a sound like hammering iron, and Ferrari felt a huge force penetrating his heavy armor, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

The strong and powerful body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, knocking over several soldiers behind him and raising a cloud of dust.

"This... how is it possible?" Ferrari was horrified. He was just an errand boy for the leader of Treasure Island.

It actually has such great power?
At the same time, the military camp was in chaos. The soldiers rushed forward with roars, but before they got close, they fell down in groups like cut ears of wheat, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted on the ground.

Even the two lieutenants of high rank fell heavily after struggling for only a moment.

"Mental shock?" Ferrari gritted his teeth and climbed up, feeling confused and uncertain.

The body is so strong? And it can also attack mentally?

No, the mental type should be the effect of the strange object.

"Shoot!" Ferrari shouted again.

Swish swish~!

Suddenly, the firing holes on the mountain walls on both sides suddenly opened, and countless arrows poured down like a rainstorm!

Wu Heng waved his right hand lightly, and two water curtains appeared out of thin air. The arrows shot into them, but they were stuck in a quagmire and finally floated in the air.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

Ferrari's muscles were taut, his battle axe held high, he leaped up like a meteorite, and chopped down at Wu Heng's head!

Wu Heng took a half step back and easily avoided it.

Bang~!

The battle axe fell, the ground cracked, and gravel flew everywhere.

Then, the battle axe swept across and cut Wu Heng in half!

"Hit it!" Ecstasy flashed in Ferrari's eyes!

Clang~!

The sound of metal colliding was harsh. Ferrari looked closely and saw that the battle axe had only scratched Wu Heng's outer clothes, revealing a piece of snow-white scale armor underneath, shining coldly.

Scales?

Not human?

Ferrari was shocked and before he could come to his senses, he was hit hard in the abdomen again and flew backwards again!

Wu Heng followed like a shadow, approaching in an instant.

Ferrari gritted his teeth, and forcibly adjusted his body shape in mid-air. He wiped his face, and a ferocious lion head mask suddenly appeared!
Roar--!
A sharp sound wave burst out, mixed with mental shock, and attacked Wu Heng's mind directly!
Wu Heng frowned slightly, his mind was a little dazed, but he regained his consciousness in an instant.

Ferrari took the opportunity to throw out three poisoned iron nails, which made sharp sounds of breaking through the air!
Wu Heng flicked his fingers, and the iron nails fell to the ground with a clang, nailing into the stone wall. The venom corroded and produced wisps of green smoke.

"What kind of monster are you?!" Ferrari finally panicked, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

He had initially thought Wu Heng was just an arrogant fool relying on his connection to Treasure Island, but now it seemed he had truly bitten off more than he could chew! *Bang!*
Wu Heng kicked again, and Ferrari's body was flashing with yellow light. He took the blow head-on, but the recoil force still made him roll several times in a mess.

"We can't delay any longer!" Ferrari gritted his teeth and slapped the ground. A totem pole rose from the ground, shining brightly!
With the appearance of the totem, the fear in his eyes dissipated, replaced by fanatical fighting spirit.

His weapons were changed to two short-handled battle axes, and he rushed forward like a whirlwind.

After getting close to Wu Heng, he swung the two battle axes continuously.

The axe shadows are continuous and the attack is like a tide!
Wu Heng did not try his best to dodge, allowing part of the attack to fall on him.

The scales offset most of the force, and the remaining attack only left shallow blood marks on his skin, which quickly healed in the faint golden light.

"The Holy Light Magic of the Holy See? Are you from the Holy See?" Ferrari's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock.

Treasure Island? Vatican?

"What level are you?" Ferrari roared and leaped back to create distance. Although he was eager to fight, his reason told him that he was in real trouble this time!
Glancing around, Ferrari suddenly pulled out a token and shouted, "Divine Craftsmanship Dragon Binding Chain."

Wow~!

Countless iron chains shot out from all over the military camp and coiled towards Wu Heng like poisonous snakes!
"Trap him!" Ferrari said fiercely, "If you're not a hero, you won't be able to leave here today."

However, Wu Heng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and his figure suddenly disappeared!
"what?"

The next moment, Ferrari felt a sharp pain in his left ribs, and was kicked into the mountain wall!
Before he even landed on the ground, Wu Heng had already approached like a ghost, his fists raining down like raindrops!

boom! boom! boom!
The pale yellow shield shattered, the armor was dented, and the pursuing iron chains instantly disintegrated and disappeared.

Ferrari's face was covered in blood and he was unconscious.

The last thought flashed through his mind: could he be Wu Heng?

thump!
He fell heavily to the ground and fainted completely.

The military camp fell into dead silence, with only the howling of the wind.

"Wu Heng, someone is coming outside." The queen's voice sounded in his ears.

Wu Heng looked up and saw the dwarf official with the copper whistle hurrying in with Leander and others outside the camp gate.

They stood at the door, staring in amazement at the unconscious soldiers on the ground and Ferrari, who was like a dead dog in Wu Heng's hands.

Leander's Adam's apple rolled and his voice trembled: "You...what did you do?!"

Wu Heng casually threw Ferrari to the ground and said calmly, "Why? Are you here to support him?"

……

Leander and the others stood there in a daze, beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads.

"No, no! We are here to mediate!" Leander waved his hands hurriedly, his voice trembling.

"Mediation?" Wu Heng sneered, flicking the bloodstain on his sleeve with his fingertips. "Things have come to this point, and you guys only showed up. The efficiency of the dwarves really opened my eyes."

Leander's face froze, and he gritted his teeth to explain, "The Molten Core's usage time was a problem with our internal coordination, and it has nothing to do with you."

As he spoke, he glanced at the unconscious Ferrari and cursed the idiot in his heart for provoking someone he shouldn't have.

Similarly, I felt even more horrified.

Why are all the people coming out of Treasure Island so perverted?

"Oh? Then what are you going to do?" Wu Heng's tone was calm, but it made Leander feel a chill on his back.

"Of course you can continue using it!" Leander said hastily, not even daring to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "As an apology, I'll give you another fifteen days of use."

Wu Heng's eyes darkened slightly.

The compromise at this time was only because he had demonstrated his overwhelming strength.

Before, he didn't show up, but asked the dwarf who blew the whistle to tell him that he needed to wait for ten days.

"How do you write a report to your leader?" Wu Heng suddenly asked.

Leander was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Write it truthfully! Ferrari sealed the mountain without authorization, attempting to seize the fruits of Molten Core. His provocative words escalated the conflict..."

"One more thing," Wu Heng interrupted him. "Flarry openly disrespected Treasure Island and attempted to sow discord between it and the dwarves. This statement was delivered verbatim to the Dwarf King's capital and the Association's leader."

Leander's face turned pale, but he could only nod, "Yes, I'll arrange it immediately."

Hearing this, the other dwarves around quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least things won't get any worse.

"Sir, can you allow us to treat the wounded?" Leander asked cautiously, his eyes sweeping over the unconscious Ferrari.

Although he hated this arrogant fellow, the dwarves could not afford to lose their high-level combat power.

Wu Heng nodded calmly, then pointed at Ferrari and said, "Lock this man up. I'll take him away when I leave."

"What?" Leander exclaimed, "This, this is too..."

Wu Heng walked forward slowly, his voice low, "If I don't see him when I leave, all of you must follow me back to Treasure Island as 'guests'."

Leander shuddered, "I understand!"

Wu Heng said no more, put away Ferrari's space ring and strange objects, turned and walked towards the cave in Molten Core.

"Just let them go like this?" The Queen's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"You go and keep an eye on them and see what other tricks they have up their sleeves." Wu Heng said softly.

The queen chuckled, turned around and flew back.

Wu Heng walked forward, and the dwarf with a copper whistle on his chest quickly caught up with him. "Sir, I will help you coordinate the opening of the door."

"Okay!" Wu Heng continued to move forward.

The two of them came to the metal gate of the cave together. Even though there was a lot of noise coming from the military camp, the guards here did not move.

He just looked at the two of them with curiosity in his eyes.

The whistling dwarf immediately said, "Open the door, Molten Core, it can be used normally."

The guard immediately pulled the chain and the tightly closed door opened.

Wu Heng walked in.

……

Inside the cave, the heat wave hit us.

The heavy metal door closed behind him, and Wu Heng's footsteps echoed off the rock walls.

The magma pool was churning with red bubbles, and the molten core in the center was as scorching as a small sun. The progress was fixed at 97.6%.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

After fighting with the Holy See for such a long time, I felt that my mood was pretty good, but today I was still upset by this dwarf.

After sitting aside and waiting for a while, the empress flew back and said, "They have locked up the commander-in-chief, and the rest is done according to what was agreed upon. No problems were found."

"Okay! Just do as I say." Wu Heng nodded.

Then, he took out the fragments of the rare items he had purchased yesterday and walked towards the Molten Core.

The fragments were thrown into the magma, and the light of the Molten Core suddenly increased - 98.7%!

Wu Heng's pupils shrank slightly.

Have the opportunity!
In the past, this kind of progress would have been started directly.

A rare item of this level is already extremely valuable.

But my goal is not just here, but to get closer to 100%.

He gritted his teeth and took out another fragment of the strange object.

"One last fight!"

The fragments drew an arc and fell into the magma.
