The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 933

Chapter 933: Chapter 745, Obvious Targeting Chapter 933: Chapter 745, Obvious Targeting The questioning ended, and the corpse was laid back, face up.

Wu Heng used a Human Skin Mask to record the corpse’s facial features in case there was a need for them later.

He then ordered the skeletons to throw the body out.

At this moment, Geoffrey came back from outside, “My lord, the supplies have been delivered to the warehouse, and we are currently tallying them.”

“Good, leave the rest to you. Notify me if there’s anything.”

“Yes, my lord.”

…
After Geoffrey departed, Wu Heng remained seated in his place.

The fortress had been occupied, and the news hadn’t spread too widely.

It seemed things were not too bad.

Next, it all depended on the Second Prince’s attitude.

On his side, the plan was definitely to wait for the association to investigate the Yeko Kingdom, before continuing the offensive.

But if this Second Prince still sought trouble, it could become unpredictable.

“If I could find the location of this Second Prince…”
“It would be possible to dispose of him first.”

Wu Heng pondered, as Xiao Xiao and Bella flew back from outside.

“What happened? I heard gunshots,” Xiao Xiao looked around curiously.

“Just fought a bit. Where did you two go?”

“We went to see the wall repairs. Who fought against whom?” Xiao Xiao asked with curiosity.

“A Yeko Kingdom supply team,” replied Wu Heng.

Xiao Xiao nodded, then asked, “What’s a supply team?”

Bella explained softly, “It’s a team that transports supplies.”

“So, like a courier service.”

“If you understand it that way, it seems correct.”

Tap, tap, tap~!

While the three were chatting, footsteps sounded from upstairs.

The skeleton in charge of guarding the radio hurried downstairs, pointing towards the upstairs.

There was a message from the radio.

Wu Heng stood up and followed the skeleton into the radio room.

The logbook read, “Master, we have important matters to report to you. Please respond upon receipt.”

Picking up the receiver, Wu Heng asked, “Is someone looking for me?”

“Master, it’s me, Mini,” Mini’s voice came through.

It seemed she was still by the radio.

“Mini, what’s the matter?” Wu Heng inquired.

Mini represented Gold and Silver Island.

He began to ponder what kind of issue had arisen on Gold and Silver Island.

Mini spoke, “Master, Steward Xi Ligui is here with me, she wants to speak to you.”

“Wu Heng, Lord Saidu came to the island yesterday,” Xi Ligui’s voice came through.

Saidu was the religious hero.

So, he really did come to the island.

“How did it go? Did he find any fault while on the island?” Wu Heng probed.

“It’s not like that. He didn’t seek trouble. After arriving on the island, he visited the exhibition, opera house, and several other well-known places before hurrying off,” Xi Ligui spoke softly.

Wu Heng was somewhat surprised.

“It seems the hero didn’t care at all about this little Necromancer. I overthought it.”

“Not exactly!”

“Hm?” Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

“When he left, he arranged for someone to purchase the building you left for Mage research and plans to establish a church on the island,” Xi Ligui’s voice grew more austere.

A church!

On a small island managed by a Necromancer?

That’s even more sinister than finding faults on the island.

“Tell me the whole story,” Wu Heng said.

“Okay!” Xi Ligui recounted the events after the other party arrived on the island.

After arriving, they took him around for a visit. But just when Xi Ligui and the others thought he was merely sightseeing and about to leave…

He had someone purchase a shop in the Central District and left people to renovate it as a church on the island.

Wu Heng didn’t speak; he sat in his chair, deep in thought.

The other party hadn’t conducted widespread inspections, but was building a church instead.

No, that’s wrong~!

As a hero, he had more abilities and artifacts.

Maybe he already searched the island, didn’t find anything, and then decided to establish this church as a way to keep an eye on the island permanently.

Very likely.

“I’m sorry, I should have been more stern at the time, or had the city hall refuse to sell the building to The Holy Court,” Xi Ligui sounded somewhat self-reproachful.

Everything had happened so fast, and by the time she realized it, the other party had transformed into a streak of golden light and left.

There had been no time to do anything.

Wu Heng also snapped out of his contemplation and replied, “This is not your fault. If he wanted to do this, none of you could have stopped him. If the building hadn’t been sold to him, he would have thought of other methods. It’s better this way, now we know his intentions.”

The other was a hero, with far more authority than anybody present on the island at the time.

Even if Xi Ligui had been tough in refusal, she wouldn’t have been able to stop him, and he might have done something else in secret instead.

Xi Ligui then asked, “So what should we do now?”

“How long will it take for them to build the church?” Wu Heng counter-asked.

“I’m not sure. I heard that the statue and some decorations have to be transported from the Holy Hall; it will probably take some time,” Xi Ligui reported.

“No problem, let them decorate however they want, as long as they don’t cause trouble on the island, we don’t need to bother with them,” Wu Heng stated directly.

Xi Ligui said, “Okay, I understand.”

“Understood, master,” Andre Willow’s voice also came through from the other end.

It seemed they were all listening on the other side.

Wu Heng continued, “By the way, what do the ordinary residents think about The Holy Court coming to the island?”

Xi Ligui answered, “The people on the island don’t have any particular thoughts about The Holy Court; after all, the island’s indigenous people just maintain a stance of not practicing any religion, so as not to offend anyone.”

It matched with what Wu Heng thought.

Gold and Silver Island was formerly Pirate Island; it was already pretty good that they hadn’t formed an Evil Cult.

True believers of The Holy Court can’t become pirates.

“This is also good, The Holy Court doesn’t have much of a foundation.” Wu Heng then asked, “Is there anything else happening on the island?”

“No, everything on the island is quite normal. Ever since the hero appeared on the island, according to ‘Mackintosh’, some thieves, and sorcerers have fled overnight.” Xi Ligui answered.

Wu Heng was somewhat surprised, “So, he had that kind of effect.”

“Yup, I guess it will be quite some time before we see any fugitives daring to come onto the island again.” Xi Ligui said with a smile.

This made sense, actually.

Even if one didn’t want to admit it, an island run by a necromancer subconsciously would be felt lacking in discipline.

Some special professions, criminals, fugitives might consider visiting the island to check it out.

A hero from The Holy Court landing on the island, even if one didn’t know he was a hero, with so many The Holy Court experts showing their faces at that time, those who should run would still run away.

“That’s reasonable.” Wu Heng nodded.

Xi Ligui continued, “That’s all I wanted to tell you, so we will just ignore them for now, as you said.”

“No need to bother with them for now, we will see what happens later.” Wu Heng confirmed.

“When will you return?” This question came in Shi Yali’s voice.

Wu Heng calculated in his mind, “Perhaps in a few days, if there’s nothing else, I will head back.”

“I’ve learned a few new dishes, you can try them when you’re back.”

“Sure.”

After a few more words, he hung up the communication.

…

Wu Heng remained seated in his chair, pondering the issues just discussed with Xi Ligui.

The Holy Court, as expected, harbored enmity towards him.

A level 20 hero personally visiting the island, and they had confirmed the construction of a Holy Hall.

It seemed a bit too targeted.

A religious hero…

Unkillable, and without reason to fight, truly a troublesome matter.

“He is a hero, and there are other heroes in the alliance,” Wu Heng muttered to himself.

He had some connections at the headquarters.

The Vampire Leader Lilith, The Hongwen Alliance’s Leader Claudio.

Could he persuade these people to stand by him?

“If necessary, I could see if I can get these two to lend me a hand, at least to limit the other party.”

“Once I reach level 20, new opportunities may arise.”

“This old guy… is really quite crafty!”

“Uncle, what does ‘old guy’ mean?” Piao asked from the side.

Er…

Glenda and Bella also looked at him.

“It’s not a nice word, don’t learn it,” Wu Heng said.

“Is it a swear word?”

“You could say that!” Wu Heng stood up, stretching, and said, “Let’s go, we’ll first upgrade Bella in Zombie World. Strength is the real deal.”

“Exactly, we’ll eventually take on the headquarters of the alliance,”
“The alliance headquarters is for your Aunt Glenda to deal with, it’s too dangerous for us.”

“Boring.” Glenda rolled her eyes at him and dove into his body.

Piao and Bella followed her into the body.

Wu Heng opened the boundary door on one side, and stepped through as well.

…

Exiting the boundary door, he found himself in the travel inn he had selected.

There wasn’t much to pack up; a convoy would come later to collect everything.

Wu Heng released the Ghost once more and stepped out of the main gate.

Outside, countless Skeletons crowded around the perimeter.

“Uncle, the base’s convoy is over there collecting supplies,” Piao said.

“Don’t mind them, let’s continue clearing the Zombies ahead.”

Finishing his words, he said to Big Skull in charge of commanding, “Move out, we advance forward.”

Clatter clatter~!

The Skeletons around immediately sprang into action, continuing their march forward.

Onward they went.

As the army moved out of the cleared area, scattered Zombies began to appear in the distance.

“Let the Skeleton Hounds lure the monsters.”

The Skeleton Hounds ran out directly.

At their approach, they quickly drew the horde’s attention, which then became a surging tide of Zombies coming from afar.

The Soul Capturing Jade opened, and Zombies rushed into the midst of the Skeleton Army.

The clashing melee erupted.

Stream after stream of Remnant Souls floated to the sky.

Bella flew out directly, starting to devour the Remnant Souls everywhere.

…

Dusk.

The battle between the Skeletons and the Zombies neared its end.

The experience required for Bella to reach level 19 had already accumulated to two-thirds; it would only take a couple more Zombie horde clearings for her to be able to upgrade.

The Skeletons began cleaning up the battlefield, while Wu Heng collected the Corpse Cores into his backpack, then started to transform more Skeletons.

As daylight faded.

He picked a random shop nearby and had the Skeletons guard it.

Then he returned to the Otherworld.

…

Seterde Fortress.

Wu Heng came down from upstairs.

And saw a figure sitting in the hall, holding documents and examining them carefully.

A tailored black butler’s uniform with a white shirt underneath.

Neatly tied hair at the back of the head, forming an elegant bun, occasionally adjusting the black-framed glasses on the bridge of the nose.

Hearing the footsteps from upstairs, she looked up.

“My lord!” The steward stood up and bowed respectfully.
