The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 922

Chapter 922: Chapter 736, Human Race Must Win Chapter 922: Chapter 736, Human Race Must Win Glenda said, “The thin one is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the fat one should be either the shop owner or one of his subordinates.”

“Where is the owl?” Xiao Xiao leaned in and asked.

“The owl is his Tamed Beast.”

“We don’t need to ask about the owl then!” Wu Heng looked at Xiao Xiao.

His focus was always drawn to the odd and bizarre.

“You need to be meticulous when solving a case, uncle.”

“The murderer is your aunt–what case is there to solve?” Wu Heng commented, then directed at the skeletons, “Check the upstairs rooms; you two, find some cloths to wrap up the bodies.”

The skeletons started moving.

Some went upstairs to search as two others found the cloth to wrap up the bodies tightly.

Wu Heng directly stored them in the Space Ring.

He stood by the door, waiting a while to ensure there was no one else inside the shop.

Then he closed the shop door and led his team back.

…

Upon returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, the horizon was already lighting up.

Wen Mansha had also donned armor, and the Skeleton Army was assembled in the courtyard.

Seeing Wu Heng returning, she stepped forward and asked, “Master, how did it go?”

“We’ve killed the man; let’s go outside for ‘Communicate with the Dead.’”
Together, they walked to the courtyard, and Wu Heng brought out the bodies.

He unfolded the cloth.

Wen Mansha frowned, “I recognize these two!”

“Recognize?”

“No, not recognize–I’ve seen them once.” Wen Mansha continued, “This man was a shop owner from the Outer City Area, the other a foreign merchant. I met with them once as commercial representatives; they were soliciting development plans and he had asked some questions.”

Wu Heng furrowed his brow, “So, he entered the city quite early.”

“Yes, I just didn’t expect this to be his identity,” sighed Wen Mansha.

“Take his Space Ring off.”

A skeleton stepped forward and removed the ring from the man’s hand; Wu Heng looked through it, taking out items one by one.

Weapons, props, some everyday items, as well as the deeds to the shop and real estate.

Indeed, he truly resembled a merchant.

“Let’s start with ‘Communicate with the Dead’!” said Wu Heng.

Wen Mansha nodded.

“Communicate with the Dead” was cast, and the tall, thin man abruptly sat up, his hollow eyes looking toward them.

Wen Mansha asked the corpse, “In Lundham City, who was your highest commander?”

The corpse answered, “It was me!”

Indeed, they had not targeted the wrong person.

Wen Mansha continued her inquiry, “Why are you so persistent in attacking Lundham City?”

The corpse replied, “According to the plan, we need more funds to combat the Crown Prince’s army.”

Wen Mansha sharply turned to Wu Heng.

Combatting the Crown Prince.

These were not the Crown Prince’s men.

Seeing the confusion on Wu Heng’s face, he asked, “Which prince do you support?”

The corpse replied, “The Second Prince.”

The army attacking Lundham City was merely personal forces the Second Prince could mobilize.

They did not represent the entire Yeko Kingdom.

No wonder they exhibited little fighting power and cohesion.

They were beaten back step by step by the Skeleton Army.

Wu Heng said, “Wen Mansha, first ask about the locations of others in the city.”

Wen Mansha nodded, then asked the corpse, “Report the locations of all your people in the city.”

The corpse paused, then began revealing each location.

The female steward took out paper and pen, recording all the mentioned locations.

From their hiding spots.

These people were hiding in pubs and homes in the Outer City District.

A few had blended into the Outer City Area.

Wen Mansha took a step back and said, “Master, there’s one more question–is there anything you want to ask?”

After pondering for a moment, Wu Heng asked, “Tell us about the princes and princesses of the Yeko Kingdom.”

The corpse paused again, then said, “The Crown Prince controls many regions in the southern part of the kingdom, while the Second Prince holds a few northern cities. There’s no definite news about the other princes and princesses–some might have their own cities and forces; some might already be dead, but none could compare to these two.”

With that, the body abruptly fell back down.

From the corpse’s words, they still acquired much previously uncollected intelligence.

The attacker of Lundham City was this Second Prince, but the opposition had clearly overestimated his capabilities.

Not only had he failed to conquer Lundham City, but he had also lost so many cities and now lacked the nerve to compete with the Crown Prince.

With the Skeleton Army’s steady advance, coupled with the Crown Prince’s southern army,
Maybe these two forces would ultimately trap the Second Prince’s army in the middle.

Speaking of which, the Second Prince really was unlucky.

Unable to overcome from either side, both had become his enemies.

There was another corpse, and Wu Heng proceeded with “Communicate with the Dead.”

A bloated body sat up and looked this way.

Wen Mansha asked a few more questions, and the corpse answered each one.

This person clearly didn’t know much, and played the role of just a shopkeeper, either providing cover or collecting some information within the city.

As for who was in the city and where they were.

This person didn’t know anything at all, and he couldn’t say.

The corpse lay back down.

Wen Mansha said, “Throw the corpse out and bury it. Hartel, deploy the Guard Team, capture people according to the address, and kill on the spot anyone who resists or tries to escape.”

“Yes, Prophet,” Hartel responded, leaving with two squads of skeletons.

She would go to the Guard Team, mobilize the troops, and start capturing the people on the list.

…
“Master is still more efficient, catching them so quickly,” Wen Mansha, holding his hand, returned with him to their residence.

“It’s all thanks to the Ghosts.”

“Give us a chance to meet them sometime, I haven’t seen your Ghosts yet!” Wen Mansha glanced around.

Wu Heng smiled and said, “Maybe next time, I also need to ask for their opinions.”

“Sure! I’ll have someone prepare breakfast, and after eating, we can rest a bit more, and leave the capturing matters to Hartel.” Wen Mansha then called the Skeleton Chef to prepare breakfast ahead of time.

“What do you think of Hartel?”

“In what aspect?”

“Besides me, let her accompany you. She’s quite good-looking and trustworthy,” Wen Mansha said with a smile.

Accompany him?

“Why suddenly bring this up?”

“Just thought of it,” Wen Mansha smiled, “Let’s eat first.”

…
After breakfast.

Wen Mansha went to feed the children, and Wu Heng waited until it was a bit brighter before heading to the radio room.

He picked up the microphone and directly said, “Mini, are you there?”

After a short wait, Mini’s voice came from the other side, “Master, I’m here.”

The radio in the Island Lord’s Mansion was guarded by skeletons.

Whenever there was a message, they would go downstairs to inform Mini or the other maids, so normally, the maids would come after a short wait.

“These few days, anything happened at Gold and Silver Island?” Wu Heng inquired.

“Nothing major, just yesterday Xi Ligui, the Steward, came by using the Skeleton Prophet to capture a fugitive on the island, apparently a second-level Merit,” Mini recalled as she spoke.

Second-level Merit, which was a level 15 professional–not a low rank.

“What did he do on the island?”

“Murder, a wealthy merchant.”

Good heavens, the hard-built business environment, and someone dared to murder on the island.

“Tell Xi Ligui to pay close attention to this matter and simultaneously strengthen patrolling and investigations of those coming to the island,” Wu Heng said directly.

“Understood. I’ll go and talk to the Steward right away,” Mini responded, and then added, “By the way, Master, Xi Ligui the Steward also brought a message about reporting to headquarters, the matter of the Evil Cult gathering in Yeko Kingdom.”

“Ah, what’s the news?”

“The headquarters has dispatched personnel to Yeko Kingdom, and I heard a hero will pass through Gold and Silver Island, possibly visiting the island.”

A hero?

The second hero entering Yeko Kingdom.

Indeed, a great battle was brewing.

“Which hero?”

“It’s called something Holy Light.”

“Holy Light Arbitration.”

“That’s the name.”

Damn!

A religious leader.

“Go and contact Xi Ligui, tell her to use the radio to talk to me tonight,” Wu Heng instructed immediately.

“Okay, Master.”

…
Seterde Fortress.

The ground trembled, and the dense Skeleton Army charged toward the fortress built of iron-grey cast.

Arrows rained down densely from above the walls, cracking against the shields raised by skeletons below.

Arms-thick crossbow arrows were shot from the ramparts.

The skeletons hit instantly shattered, and the scattered magic impacted the surrounding areas of skeletons.

The Skeleton Archers also entered ranged and began shooting at the ramparts.

Bullets cracked on the ramparts.

After a round of mutual shooting.

The ground below the walls was covered with bones.

Seeing that storming the fortress was hopeless, the Skeleton Army began to retreat like a receding tide, withdrawing from the battle zone.

“The skeletons are retreating.”

“Human Race will be victorious…”

Cheering voices arose on the walls.
