The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 923

Chapter 923: Chapter 737, likely to land on the island Chapter 923: Chapter 737, likely to land on the island After determining the time for the evening call with Mini, Wu Heng hung up the communication.

Wu Heng sat in his chair, pondering the newly received intelligence.

There had been a Level 15 fugitive committing murder on Gold and Silver Island, which might cause some impact.

But it wasn’t a big problem.

Before leaving, he had made adjustments to the skeletons on the island.

All were replaced with skeletons of Level 10 or above, with many in key positions reaching Level 15.

Moreover, the skeleton team was equipped with a certain number of firearms.

Not to mention capturing a Level 15 criminal, even a Level 18 fugitive, if the target were spotted, would only meet a dead end.

Zombie World was like a leveling ground.

High-level skeletons were appearing in batches; defensively, several Gold and Silver Islands were not a problem.

What concerned him more was the hero arranged by the headquarters.

“The religious leader seems to have a bias against me.”

Holy Light Arbitration – Saidu Livingston, the orthodox leader, was the only human hero among those governing at headquarters.

It seemed reasonable for him to investigate the Yeko Kingdom affair.

After all, they were both of the Human Race and involved many sects.

But for Wu Heng, he didn’t have a very good impression of this leader.

His last Level One reward “Untainted Holy Radiance” was a special item related to religion.

It definitely came from the religious side.

It seemed like a reward, but more so it was a deterrence and a warning.

Wearing this special item could protect the spirit and summon a Light Knight, but the side effect was that sinful people would spontaneously combust.

Given to a Necromancer, not dying was luck already.

“He will pass by Gold and Silver Island, then head to Yeko Kingdom…”

“Why is it him!”

The island was full of skeletons, and this orthodox leader, upon seeing them, might find faults.

There was also the matter with Yeko Kingdom.

His coming to deal with the gathered sects was actually quite good, capable of deterring and striking at the sects.

Mainly, Lundham City’s Skeleton Army was also attacking Yeko Kingdom.

Would he finish investigating the evil cult and then turn his attention to this side of the battlefield?

“Still, I must keep an eye on him to adjust the battlefield in time.”

At least he couldn’t let him find faults.

“Does this world truly have gods?”

If there really were gods, having a conflict with this religious leader, it wouldn’t be good to deal harshly.

The legends of Divine Spirits were rather frightening.

And he didn’t know how the power of gods was defined.

“No wait, Warlocks/Sorcerers are also related to gods, and the association puts those who commit offenses on the wanted list, it seems they’re not afraid of the threats from the gods behind.”

It was somewhat puzzling.

It was best not to have a conflict with him.

If there really were gods, it was best not to draw their attention.

His Space Ring and Zombie World needed to remain confidential.

After thinking through the matters, he gave his place to the Skeleton Investigator and got up to go downstairs.

He did not see Wen Mansha, nor did he specifically look for her.

Standing at the front door, he looked around and walked towards the back courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.

…

The back courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion was planted with some flowers and plants.

Probably fearing danger, the plants cultivated were relatively low, not obstructing the line of sight.

Wu Heng found a warehouse and used the large door to open the boundary door.

Three Skeleton Flying Dragons were transferred over.

The Skeleton Flying Dragons stood in the courtyard, swinging their heads and tails, knocking over a nearby artificial mountain, and the flowers in the flowerbed were also trampled down.

The noise immediately attracted more skeletons.

And Wen Mansha hurried over, following behind.

When she saw three fierce, huge dragons, fear instantly appeared on her face, and her steps subconsciously moved backward, ready to hide behind the skeleton team.

But the next second, she saw Wu Heng standing in front of the huge monsters.

He seemed to be scolding the creatures whose tails had toppled the artificial mountain in the courtyard.

“Master, these are…!” Wen Mansha whispered, asking.

After calming down a little, she also realized.

These Skeleton Flying Dragons must be another type of undead soldier of her master.

Only, their size was much bigger than the previous types of undead soldiers.

“Wen Mansha, come here!” Wu Heng waved.

Wen Mansha carefully walked over, hugging his waist, “Are these dragons?”

“Skeleton Flying Dragons, they will stay here to protect you,” Wen Mansha explained softly.

Skeleton Flying Dragons?

They were indeed dragons, the terrifying creatures often mentioned in stories.

And now, they were brought here to protect her.

“You… Is this your summoned creature?”

“Yes, Skeleton Flying Dragons are about Level 13, characterized by flight and carrying capacity. In the future, use them for delivering letters and special items; you can also ride them to flee or hurry along,” Wu Heng explained, holding her shoulder.

Wen Mansha whispered, “They are used to protect the master, such undead must be very rare.”

“They are quite common on the Emerald Sea side. I brought them over to protect you,” Wu Heng explained and said to the Skeleton Flying Dragons, “From now on, obey her commands.”

The Skeleton Flying Dragons stomped on the spot, crushing another large swath of flowers.

Wen Mansha looked at the messy backyard, took a deep breath to calm herself, and said, “Then I’m staying.”

Next, she looked at the three Skeleton Flying Dragons, “You go to that open space over there, don’t move from that spot, I’ll find a place for you later.”

The Flying Dragons went to the open space on one side, still shaking their heads and tails.

Wen Mansha felt some heartache for the flowers and plants she had managed to grow with difficulty.

The Skeleton Flying Dragons no longer wandered around.

The two of them then returned to their residence.

At noon, Wu Heng looked at the child in Wen Mansha’s arms who was nursing, and gently touched the child’s tender cheek with the back of his hand.

“She’s eating really well, three meals a day.”

Wen Mansha, cradling the child, smiled and said, “More like several times a day sometimes.”

“It’s okay, your mom has strong reserves, enough for you to drink your fill.”

Wen Mansha gave him a look, “I still have to feed the big baby at night, and even with strong reserves, it’s not enough for both of you.”

“Don’t undermine our father-daughter relationship, what’s wrong with having a little, the baby is also willing to share with daddy, right?” Wu Heng continued to tease the child.

Wen Mansha pursed her lips, smiling as she rocked the child.

The couple cooed over the child, when a knock on the door was heard.

Then the voice of the female steward came through, “Master, madam, all the commanders who went out to make arrests are back.”

“Wait a moment,” Wen Mansha said softly.

“Yes, madam.”

Wen Mansha fed for a while, then the Skeleton Ghost Hag transformed back into Wen Mansha’s look, and continued to play with the child.

The couple walked out of the room together.

The steward Hartel still waited at the door, bowing slightly, “Master, madam, several commanders of city defense are waiting in the living room!”

Wu Heng said, “You go ahead, it’s best not to let too many people know about what’s happening here.”

Wen Mansha nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll report back to you later.”

Finishing, she followed the steward downstairs.

Along the way, the female steward whispered, “Madam, there are several dragon-like skeletons added to the backyard.”

“Don’t worry, the master has arranged for them to protect us.”

“Alright, madam.”

…

Wu Heng did not show himself.

However, he still used the “Divine Presence” ability to descend his divine sense into one of the Skeleton Guards in the hall.

“Divine Presence” was an ability unlocked at Level 15.

It allowed one to have their divine sense descend upon summoned beings that were “affiliated.”

Previously, this ability was used to control skeletons for suicide missions such as using the Evil Sword Silent Blade.

After successfully descending, through the Skeleton’s sight and hearing, he could see what was happening in the hall.

In the hall stood four commanders in different armors, three men and one woman.

Wu Heng recognized two of them, being former key members under Wen Mansha’s command.

He was unfamiliar with the other two, uncertain whether they had joined later or were original gang members.

At that moment, Wen Mansha and the female steward returned from behind.

She sat down assertively at the forefront.

Her aura was much greater than that of a gang elder sister, more like that of a high-ranking queen.

“Have all the people been captured?” Wen Mansha asked coldly.

“City Lord, according to the district, we started arresting people on the list, and over half were killed, the rest were captured,” one of them stepped forward and said.

“Casualties?”

“In resistance from the enemies, we lost about a dozen skeletons,” he reported.

Wen Mansha nodded in satisfaction, then said, “This matter has served as a wake-up call for us; let’s discuss what to do next to prevent enemies from infiltrating Lundham City again.”

The four commanders pondered briefly, one of them continued, “We could increase the checkpoints along the roads and arrange for more patrol teams…”

Wu Heng, through the skeleton’s perspective, listened for a while as the group talked.

After confirming that all informants were captured.

Wu Heng then removed the “Divine Presence” state and his consciousness returned to his original body.

He walked up the stairs, back to the study.

He discussed with Glenda and three Ghosts that the enemy had been fully captured.

Since they had participated, it was important to let them know the outcome.

…

After dusk.

Wu Heng sat in front of the radio, reconnecting with Gold and Silver Island.

“Are you looking for me?” Across, the voice of Elf Deacon Xi Ligui came through.

“Hmm, miss me?” Wu Heng asked with a laugh.

“Cough~ Speak seriously,” Xi Ligui coughed lightly, her tone serious.

It seemed there were other people in the room over there.

Wu Heng directly asked, “Is headquarters arranging for heroes to go to Yeko Kingdom?”

“Headquarters sent a letter earlier, asking Gold and Silver Island to dispatch additional supplies, the leader of the expedition is Hero Saidu.”

“He’s that religious leader?”

“Yes!”

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, “Anyone else?”

“They didn’t say, it might just be the leader leading the team, possibly with some Level 18 professionals, or there might be other leaders with him, it’s not specified.” Xi Ligui added, “The second possibility is less likely; dealing with those factions doesn’t require so many leaders.”

So, it actually was a religious leader leading the team.

Wu Heng then asked, “Will they come to the island?”

Xi Ligui replied, “They will pass here, and there is a significant chance they will visit the island, given that Gold and Silver Island is quite renowned now, especially at headquarters; there’s a high likelihood they’ll come to check it out.”
