The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 916

Chapter 916: Chapter 732, The Enemy Outside the City (Part 1, 5000 words). Chapter 916: Chapter 732, The Enemy Outside the City (Part 1, 5000 words). The warrior with the shield charged forward.

The Skeleton Knight pulled on the reins, and the Skeleton Horse took a fierce step forward, barely avoiding the side impact.

But the several people who rushed out continuously blocked the path ahead.

The hollow eye sockets of the Skeleton Knight looked back at the warriors holding shields and then towards the few people blocking the road.

He slowly drew his Longsword from his waist.

The Skeleton Horse also kept stepping in place, ready to charge.

From a distance, Wu Heng saw the Skeleton Knight dodge the side impact.

He said, “Control them.”

Three Ghosts shot out directly, rushing towards the few who were blocking the way.

When the Ghosts dived into their bodies, the squad ready for battle suddenly stiffened.

Fear appeared in their eyes.

One of them threw their weapon aside and, clenching a fist, smashed it into their own nose.

Crack~!

The bridge of the nose deformed, and blood spurted out.

Another person abruptly turned around and kicked at the groin of a companion nearby.

The warrior holding the shield, amidst terrified shouts, tossed away his shield and head-butted the tree beside him.

The Skeleton Knight, who had been ready for a fight, watched as the enemies suddenly descended into chaos.

He tilted his skeletal head.

With a flick of the reins, the Skeleton Horse leaped over the several people and galloped away.

…

Wu Heng walked over with his skeleton attendants.

The few people tormented by the Ghosts watched warily as three silhouettes suddenly appeared.

“Was this your doing?” The warrior, bloodied and battered, stared at Wu Heng.

“Tie them up,” Wu Heng commanded those behind him.

“You’re asking for death!” The thief at the forefront leaped up instantly, clutching two short swords in his hands.

Bang~!

Mid-air, he was kicked in the stomach by Kai Xiu, flying out four to five meters.

He vomited bile and blood liberally.

The rest were also startled, recognizing the presence of a high-level professional.

“Sir, there seems to be some misunderstanding; we were just passing by.”

Wu Heng couldn’t be bothered to listen to their explanations, “Tie them up, and if they resist too much, break their limbs.”

Kai Xiu and Kerim quickly stepped forward, and before the two skeletons could assist, the already injured five had no power to resist.

They were bound tightly into a bundle.

Wu Heng casually opened his Mansion Skill, “Take them inside; you all stay and watch them, don’t damage the equipment.”

Seeing a spatial crack suddenly open, the eyes of the five men widened in shock.

Even the least knowledgeable among them knew that this was not a power a common professional could unleash.

Done for, they had been utterly trapped this time.

“Spare us, lord.”

“We just wanted to steal some things to exchange for drink money at the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“We were wrong, give us a chance.”

“No, no, I don’t want to go in…”

Among the five, four pleaded loudly while the other was still vomiting blood.

The two Skeletons carried the group straight into a corner within the Mansion Skill, keeping a distance from the Electromagnetic Cannon apparatus.

Once everyone was inside, the Mansion Skill was shut.

The crying and pleading stopped, and all was quiet around.

“Uncle, they don’t seem very smart,” Xiao Xiao commented from the side.

“They’re probably from a local gang; it’s rare to find one without illiterate members,” said Wu Heng.

Standing nearby, Glenda asked, “Aren’t you going to ask them about their purpose?”

“Let Wen Mansha ask when we get back. All matters concerning the Skeleton Army are her responsibility. Questioning them personally will also allow her to arrange a new messenger route,” Wu Heng replied.

“That makes sense,” nodded Glenda.

Wu Heng took out a motorbike from his Space Ring.

After mounting it, he sped off towards Lundham City.

The Three Ghosts swiftly followed, flying alongside.

While flying, they chatted.

Soon, they neared the Outer City District.

Wu Heng stowed the motorbike, donned a hood, and directly joined the crowd to enter.

Once at the Outer City District’s wall, the searches began to intensify.

Everyone entering and leaving had to declare their identity, whether they were residents of the city or visiting merchant caravans. With an association’s Emblem, Wu Heng easily passed through as well.

The search was thorough.

After all, it was a time of war with Lundham City, to prevent any potential danger.

Wu Heng walked into the Inner City District.

Inside the city, there weren’t many changes, and the people did not seem tense from the ongoing war.

Upon reaching the City Lord’s Mansion, he entered.

…

“My lord, you’ve returned!”

The housekeeper ‘Hartel,’ dressed in a black butler suit, pushed up her glasses and approached briskly.

“Where’s Wen Mansha?” Wu Heng inquired directly.

“The lady is in the hall; the Skeleton Knight just delivered intelligence,” said Hartel.

“Anyone else here?” Wu Heng took a side door and entered the building.

Hartel stepped forward, helped him off with his coat, and hung it beside him, “No one but the lady herself, no other Commanders have been summoned yet.”

“Take me to her, on the way I also saw this Skeleton Knight.” Wu Heng spoke.

“This way, please,” instructed Hartel.

Hartel led him directly to the hall, where he saw Wen Mansha sitting on the City Lord’s throne, beneath her the same Skeleton Knight he had just seen.

Hearing footsteps, Wen Mansha turned around confusedly.

Seeing Wu Heng walk in, her eyes sparkled with delight, “Master.”

Wen Mansha looked well, seemingly recovering nicely after childbirth, her complexion rosy.

She donned a beige embroidered dress, looking like a lady of leisure.

“What news have you brought?” Wu Heng asked.

“Two pieces of news, the Skeleton Army encountered an enemy force attempting to take a detour and annihilated them entirely, though it does not rule out the possibility that some units might try to bypass and attack Lundham City.”

“The second piece of news is that the Skeleton Army is about to reach Seterde Fortress, some scattered intelligence suggests that the Yeko Kingdom’s armies are likely massed there, waiting to decide the battle against the Skeleton Army,” Wen Mansha reported slowly.

The enemy trying to circumvent their defenses were limited in numbers; to pose a threat to Lundham City would actually be quite difficult.
