The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 918

Chapter 918: Chapter 732, The Enemy Outside the City (Part 3, 5000 words) Chapter 918: Chapter 732, The Enemy Outside the City (Part 3, 5000 words) “Look, gather Xi Ligui and Mackintosh.”

“Okay,” Mini said excitedly.

Cheers from Robey and Annette followed behind.

“Alright, notify me if anything happens, I’m going to be busy now.”

“Goodbye, master.”

After ending the communication, Wu Heng called the Ghost back.

He then headed to Zombie World.

He listened to Li Yahong report on the situation here.

Nothing too important had happened during the days he was away.

The Skeletons set for training had already been sent to the headquarters, and the production of the alchemy pills was still ongoing without any result yet.

All in all, there hadn’t been much change.

Wu Heng sat with Li Yahong for a while, then returned to the Otherworld.

…

Coming down from upstairs.

Wen Mansha was sitting in the hall breastfeeding her child.

Seeing Wu Heng coming down, she brought out the other side and raised an eyebrow.

“No need, thank you,” Wu Heng graciously refused, sat down beside them, played with the child, then asked, “How did the interrogation go?”

“They’re not from the gangs within the city, you’ll need to ask the dead to confirm later,” Wen Mansha said softly.

“What’s going on?”

“Hartel, you explain,” Wen Mansha gently rocked the baby.

The female housekeeper, Hartel, said, “We separated the five for interrogation, and the consensus is they are currently serving military personnel from the Yeko Kingdom, tasked to intercept the message-carrying Skeleton Horse and confirm the contents of the communication.”

Indeed, they were people from the Yeko Kingdom.

“How did they determine the Skeleton Knight’s schedule and route?”

The housekeeper continued, “According to them, they calculated the timings over these two days and waited nearby.”

Recalling the appearance of these individuals.

Indeed, they had run over from a distance.

The warrior who charged at the horse with a shield also seemed rushed.

“Where are these people now?”

The housekeeper glanced at Wen Mansha and answered, “Dead.”

“Ask the dead later!” Wu Heng nodded.

Soon, the baby spat out her pacifier and burped.

Wen Mansha handed her to the Skeleton Ghost Hag, “Play with her for a while, then put her to sleep.”

The Ghost Hag immediately cast a spell, transforming her shape into Wen Mansha’s, took the child, and gently started drifting.

Illusion Form!

A skill retained by the Skeleton Ghost Hag.

A type of illusion technique ability, high-level professionals can detect it, and it can only transform into a woman’s image.

The Ghost Hag picked up the child and gently drifted while heading upstairs.

Really a good method.

A natural baby nurse.

Wu Heng followed Wen Mansha as they headed outside.

…

Dungeon.

There, covered with straw mats, lay five bodies.

Compared to a normal interrogation, it felt somewhat more humane to kill them and then ask the dead.

“Think about what you want to ask, and just ask directly when the time comes,” Wu Heng said.

“Okay.”

Wu Heng invoked “Communicate with the Dead,” and the first body suddenly sat up, the straw mat falling to the side.

Wu Heng took a step back, indicating Wen Mansha could proceed.

Wen Mansha directly asked, “What are your true identities?”

The body answered, “Yeko Kingdom, member of the Fourth Light Infantry Squad.”

As expected, the information initially extracted was correct; they were people from the Yeko Kingdom.

Wen Mansha continued, “What’s the purpose of your visit here?”

“By orders, to create some chaos in Lundham City as well as execute other tasks.”

“By whose orders?”

“The commander of this operation.”

There was a commander.

They looked at each other.

Wen Mansha asked again, “Where is this commander?”

The body pondered, “Not sure.”

The last question, “Is this commander within the three districts of Lundham City?”

“Yes!”

The answers to five questions concluded, the body laid back down.

Wen Mansha’s expression turned serious, “It seems we have more people gradually coming around.”

“Ask another few bodies.” Wu Heng invoked “Communicate with the Dead” again, and the second body sat up.

Wen Mansha followed, beginning to question.

…

Several bodies were questioned in succession.

The situation was mostly understood, and it was quite close to their guesses; these individuals had all bypassed the Skeleton Army, gathering around Lundham City.

To maintain confidentiality for the operation, they wore blue hoods and red belts into the city.

Arrangements would be made for their lodgings, and tasks would be issued to them using Tamed Beasts.

The attack on the Skeleton Knight on the route was also communicated in this manner.

As for who the commander was and whether there were others, they had no clue.

Unilaterally issuing tasks.

It’s really not easy to find the other party.

“Order a city-wide search?” Wen Mansha looked at Wu Heng.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment and then said, “No rush, making a big commotion might stir up chaos in the city first and might also alert them to our discovery.”

“Do you have a better idea?” Wen Mansha asked.

“The blue hoods and red belts are valuable clues. Arrange for someone to disguise and enter the city tomorrow, see if we can find any leads,” Wu Heng spoke decisively.

“Alright, then we’ll do as you said,” Wen Mansha smiled, “Let’s head back for dinner first; I had someone prepare a lavish meal.”

“Let’s go.”

Returning to the Island Lord’s Mansion, Wen Mansha went upstairs to check on the baby, and the housekeeper went to check on the dinner situation.

…

Outer City District, inside a miscellaneous store.

A figure hurriedly entered, looking around.

Approaching the counter, they lowered their voice and said, “The squad sent to kill the Skeleton Knight has disappeared. Have everyone hide, cancel all previously distinguishing features immediately, notify everyone else, and if you can’t get through to them, cut off contact.”

After saying this, they turned and left.
