The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 934

Chapter 934: Chapter 746, The Plan Ahead Chapter 934: Chapter 746, The Plan Ahead Hartel had arrived.

Dressed in professional attire, he exuded a solemn and proficient air.

Wu Heng descended, “When did you arrive?”

“I just arrived this afternoon.” Hartel replied respectfully.

Unlike Mini from Gold and Silver Island, Hartel behaved more like a professional steward.

Mini, on the other hand, having been a slave, didn’t quite understand these things.

They both looked after the Island Lord’s Mansion while learning on the job.

“What arrangements are there for Wen Mansha afterwards?” Wu Heng asked casually as he sat on a chair.

“The madam said that if you leave, I will temporarily take over the management of Seterde Fortress. The army will be stationed in the city for now, waiting for the headquarters to decide on the next steps.” Hartel answered earnestly.

This was something he and Wen Mansha had discussed together.

It seemed there had been no changes.

Wu Heng continued, “Do you know what happened to the transport team this morning?”

“I saw Geoffrey when I arrived, and he told me about it.” Hartel replied.

“Mm, we killed the people from the transport team, and they might send someone for reconnaissance later, so be mindful of that.”

“Yes, Master!” Hartel nodded.

With the matters discussed, Hartel would now be responsible for things here.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

“I haven’t eaten either. Prepare something, and we’ll eat together.” Wu Heng said.

Hartel glanced at the skeleton guarding the doorway to the living quarters in the hall.

Wu Heng realized and said to the skeleton, “From now on, there’s no need to stop her.”

The skeleton stood at the major entrances to the hall and living floors to prevent anyone from breaking in while Wu Heng was away in the Zombie World.

As a result, Hartel, sitting in the hall, was also kept out.

“What would you like to eat, Master? I’ll have it prepared.” Hartel asked.

“Anything will do, I’m not fussy.”

“Very well, I will make the arrangements right away.” Hartel said, about to leave.

Wu Heng reminded him, “The fortress’s management is in your hands now; don’t let outsiders know I’m here.”

“Yes, Master!”

…

Dinner was quickly prepared.

Thanks to Hartel’s status as a steward, the meal turned out to be quite acceptable.

“Join me; I don’t have that many rules here.” Wu Heng said, looking at Hartel standing by.

“You first, Master. There are rules for stewards.” Hartel responded, his voice even.

Wu Heng didn’t press further, eating casually and continuing the conversation, “Were you originally a resident of Lundham City?”

“No, my family is from a small city in the Yeko Kingdom. I followed my husband to Lundham City.” Hartel kept his gaze steady.

“How do you find it? The life in Lundham City?”

“Very good, better than before.” Hartel spoke directly.

Wu Heng went on, “Things are different here from Lundham City, and there might be some danger. Take more skeletons with you when you go out.”

“I understand, thank you for your concern, Master.”

Wu Heng nodded, stood up, and said, “I’m finished eating; try to rest early after you’re done.”

“Master, there is bathwater ready upstairs; you can take a bath before resting in your room.”

“Mm, you should rest early, too.”

Wu Heng said and then headed upstairs.

…

After taking a bath, Wu Heng returned to his bedroom.

Here, the nights were without electricity, and the illumination from the Illuminating Stone was still inferior to that of electric lights.

The entire room was bathed in a dim yellow hue.

Wu Heng lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and began to ponder the recent events.

The first was the construction of the church on Gold and Silver Island.

There was no hurry to act on this matter since the other party had just mentioned renovations and hadn’t shown any malice. It wasn’t right to turn against them just yet.

The second was the issue of raising his notoriety.

The original strategy involved taking advantage of the Fifth Princess’s involvement in the Yeko Kingdom’s struggles, seeking opportunities within to spread his own fame.

But the latest developments had clearly surpassed his initial plans.

“`
The investigation team entered the territory of the Yeko Kingdom, with many factions assembled, the heroes from the Snake Badge Consortium and the religious heroes of our headquarters also headed to the interior of the Kingdom.

Especially since the heroes from the Snake Badge Consortium are widely recognized as the strongest heroes, our religious headquarters’ heroes don’t see eye to eye with them.

Thinking it over, it’s not appropriate for me to get involved.

Getting mixed up in this mess would likely drag me down too.

Not to mention trying to reap benefits or spread fame.

“Now, it looks like the Second Prince’s line is better suited for me to make a difference.”

Lundham City has been battling the territory held by the Second Prince, advancing all the way up to now and has already occupied a large expanse of land.

As long as some order is restored, it will be possible to disseminate fame.

Moreover, it was the Yeko Kingdom that made the first move, so there’s a justifiable reason.

“Taking the territory held by the Second Prince should be enough to level me up, right?”

He muttered to himself and opened the panel to have a look.

[Level: 19 (785351/355000)]
[Fame: 19 (15244/66000)]
The fame is only fifteen thousand.

Compared to leveling up, it still falls far too short.

“The transport team says the Second Prince is likely in Nilar City.”

“I wonder if there are any experts by his side.”

If he could be captured, it would resolve the fight in Lundham City and provide ample territory to garner fame.

“Once Bella reaches Level 20, let’s see if there’s an opportunity.”

Then, he thought over the miscellaneous matters again.

Feeling drowsy, he fell into a deep sleep.

…

The next day.

After breakfast, Wu Heng opened the boundary door to the Zombie World.

Stepping out of the shop where he stayed, he saw a convoy parked at the side of the road.

A large group of survivors, accompanied by Skeletons, scavenged for resources in the area – appliances, tools, anything still usable and of some value was loaded onto trucks and transported to the base.

The efficiency was quite high.

Zzzt~!

A slight static noise came from the walkie-talkie on his waist, followed by Qi Hancai’s voice, “Leader, I’ve brought the photocopies you requested.”

Wu Heng looked in the direction of the convoy and saw Qi Hancai waving from afar.

“Bring it over!” Wu Heng spoke through the walkie-talkie.

The Skeletons surrounding the building made way for the truck to drive straight up to the building’s entrance.

Qi Hancai hopped down from the truck, smiling, and said, “You’re up early.”

“I’ve been here, it’s you guys who have come too early. No need to work so hard scavenging.”

“You’re the Leader, out leading teams to kill zombies; if we, in charge of logistics, don’t work hard, it just wouldn’t be right,” Qi Hancai earnestly said.

“Manage your time well and don’t overexert yourself.”

Qi Hancai laughed and walked to the back of the truck, pulling back the green tarp, “How about taking a look at the printed sheets?”

Inside the truck bed were stacks of neatly bundled papers.

Wu Heng pulled out a sheet and glanced at its contents.

It was written in the script of the Otherworld, part of it concerning the Yeko Kingdom’s attack on Lundham City, stamped with the seal of the association.

Another part detailed subsequent planning and the promise to not harass civilians but only target invaders.

These were commissioned by Wu Heng for Qi Hancai to print, to be posted in cities and villages they conquered later on.

There were several hundred bundles on the truck, enough to distribute to the conquered cities and villages.

“Is this good?” asked Qi Hancai.

“It’s fine, as long as the writing is clear,” Wu Heng said after putting the sheet back, then with a casual wave, all the papers were stored in the Space Ring.

Qi Hancai put the tarp back down, “What’s written on these? Is it the script from the Middle East?”

“No, it’s for those Westerners to read,” Wu Heng vaguely explained.

“Oh, how’s the food here? Should I come to pick you up, have you rest at night and come back during the day?” Qi Hancai asked with her eyes wide open.

Wu Heng pinched her cheek, “It’s too much trouble; the journey would take up half the day. It’ll be fine in a few days, don’t worry.”

Qi Hancai nodded and continued, “I brought you some clothes and bedding; things here aren’t clean. The ones you change out of I’ll take back to wash.”

With that, she took out some packed bedding from the passenger seat.

Wu Heng didn’t say much and just took them into his Space Ring.

Qi Hancai went on, “There are two things, one is that the South Korean main station wants to invite us to kill the Zombie King, but the distribution of spoils was too vague, felt like pie in the sky, so I declined for now.

The other is that bases in the United States and several countries in Europe have contacted us through the radio, wanting to exchange supplies for food.”
