Chapter 1284: Chapter 946, Grandmaster Elixir_2

"Wu Heng is a hero now, do not anger him." The first man spoke up.

The few people in the room all had solemn expressions.

Wu Heng!

The true ruler of Lundham City.

Originally, there were plans for a counterattack, but the association’s sudden announcement that the other side had become a hero forced the Crown Prince’s camp to calm down.

Now they could only make some tentative moves.

The Crown Prince, sitting in the main seat, glanced at the others present, and finally looked at a woman in a blue robe, "Viola, you’ve had the most contact with Wu Heng, what do you think of him?"

Viola!

The witch of the Church of Divine Punishment.

Viola’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she answered respectfully, "Wu Heng is a cunning and vengeful person. I believe we shouldn’t provoke someone like that."

The others all looked at her, their expressions shifting.

Tap tap tap~!

At this moment, an attendant hurried in and said, "Your Highness, Archbishop Dylan is here to visit."

The Crown Prince squinted his eyes, glanced at the door, and signaled to everyone below him.

Everyone stood up and quickly moved to an adjacent room.

"Let the Archbishop in," said the Crown Prince.

The attendant bowed and left, returning shortly with a Human Race Archbishop in a deep blue robe, wearing the Archbishop’s Crown, who walked steadily into the hall.

Upon entering, his eyes first swept over the Crown Prince, then glanced at the adjacent room.

After withdrawing his gaze, he made a religious salute, "Your Highness, Crown Prince!"

Although he used an honorific title, his tone held only a semblance of respect.

"Archbishop Dylan." The Crown Prince stood up and returned the salute with a smile, "Please, have a seat."

Dylan took a seat nearby, and the attendants served tea.

The Crown Prince asked, "Lord Dylan, what instructions do you have for us?"

The Archbishop got straight to the point, "What plans does Your Highness have for those scattered sects?"

"Lord Dylan, the Investigation Team should not have any direct evidence pointing to me," the Crown Prince remained calm.

The Archbishop smiled and continued, "The Holy Hall intends for you to do something. As long as you achieve it, the Holy Court will help you secure your position."

His gaze swept towards the Crown Prince’s seat.

The Crown Prince’s eyes narrowed, "Oh? What does the Holy Court need me to do?"

"It’s simple and something you’ve always wanted to do," the Archbishop locked eyes with him.

"Please, be direct!"

"Deploy your troops, wage war to the north, and reclaim all the lands occupied by Lundham City," the Archbishop said.

The Crown Prince’s eyes narrowed, and he said seriously, "Wu Heng... and Leader Wu Heng’s side."

"Don’t worry, the Holy Hall has already initiated a Holy War. He will face due punishment. The rest is up to you. Even if you occupy Lundham City or the Beastman Territory to the north, it will be Yeko Kingdom’s land. Your achievements will surpass your father’s," the Archbishop’s voice carried a hint of magical influence.

This made the Crown Prince envision wider territories and accomplishments beyond other kings.

In the adjacent room,

The members of the various sects widened their eyes in disbelief.

Was the Holy Court finally going to kill Wu Heng?

Ultimately, they could not tolerate a Necromancer becoming a hero, and it was even more severe than they had imagined.

Initiating a Holy War meant that any power or relation associated with the other side would be completely purged.

As talented as he was, Wu Heng could not possibly match the deeply rooted Holy Court.

He was finished.

The actions of this young hero were indeed too arrogant.

The witch of the Church of Divine Punishment, standing at the back of the crowd, felt her heart pounding.

That boy who nearly killed her several times was finally going to die!

Although she wouldn’t have the chance to kill him herself, he would still die before her.

In the hall, the Crown Prince quickly regained his composure and said, "Lundham City is at the border, and it has amassed a large number of Skeletons. These Undead Soldiers are difficult to kill."

The Archbishop continued, "I will arrange for clergy from various cities along the way to assist you."

"The Yeko Kingdom has always adhered to the Holy Court’s commands. Since it is the Holy Hall’s directive, I will certainly comply," the Crown Prince said seriously.

"When can you begin the assault?" the Archbishop pressed.

The Crown Prince replied, "The forces have already gathered at the border. With some adjustments, we can commence the attack."

"Good, it’s settled then, Your Majesty," the Archbishop stood and saluted.

The Crown Prince solemnly said, "Afterwards, the Holy Court must keep its promise."

"Of course," the Archbishop said with a smile.

...

Dusk, in the study.

Wu Heng was conversing with the Ghosts.

The phone rang, and seeing the caller ID was Lilith, his eyebrows rose slightly.

After answering and switching to a video call, Lilith’s childlike appearance appeared on the screen, "Leader, have you arrived?"

Hearing Wu Heng addressed as leader, Xiao Xiao controlled her puppet to come over and shout at the phone, "Sister Lilith."

"Mm, Xiao Xiao!" Lilith’s icy face forced a smile.

"Sister, are you home yet?" Xiao Xiao leaned against Wu Heng’s back, asking curiously.

"Not yet, but soon," Lilith glanced at Wu Heng and said, "There’s news from the Holy Court. I wanted to inform you."

"What news?" Wu Heng’s expression turned serious.

Hearing them discuss serious matters, Xiao Xiao quietly sat aside without speaking further.

Lilith said, "The Pope has left the Holy Hall with his team, and the Religious Leader has also left the headquarters. If their target is Gold and Silver Island, you might face two heroes. I suggest you lay low for now and wait for headquarters’ response."

Two heroes—Wu Heng and Glenda had already considered this during their discussions.

He could single-handedly kill the previous Pope, so if the Holy Court wanted to deal with him, they certainly wouldn’t send just one person.

At the very least, there would be two, if they didn’t hire outside help.

Moreover, the transmission of such information always had a delay.

If Lilith received this intel, the Holy Court’s team would likely be close to the Emerald Sea.

Without their phones, they might only learn about the war after it ended.

"What is the headquarters’ stance?" Wu Heng asked.

"Hadara instructed you to go to the headquarters and continue negotiations with the Holy Court," Lilith replied.

Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed.

Go to the headquarters!

At Gold and Silver Island, he would face two heroes from the Holy Court. At the headquarters, there would be even more heroes.

Based on the headquarters’ past attitude, they did strive to be fair.

But if there was even the slightest bias, it would be more dangerous at the headquarters.

"I’ve already arranged everything at Gold and Silver Island. If I’m truly outmatched, I will escape."

Lilith gave him a sidelong glance and continued, "This Holy War is declared to destroy gods and eradicate faith. Apart from your sect and Gold and Silver Island, everyone involved is a criminal. So if you stay, you must win."

Destroy gods and eradicate faith.

Wu Heng’s expression grew even more serious.

This was meant to wipe out everything related to him.

"I understand," Wu Heng nodded.

"I have no other business," Lilith said.

Wu Heng smiled again and said, "Leader, why not help me fend off the Holy Court first, and then we’ll go back and kill your Blood Clan people?"

Lilith glanced at him, "If Gold and Silver Island is lost, I’ll arrange a place for you to hide, but you’ll have to remain incognito."

"If I’m left with no options, I’ll seek refuge with you," Wu Heng did not refuse.

After chatting with Lilith for a while, he handed the phone to Xiao Xiao.

The two of them started to chat away.

Wu Heng sat to the side, pondering over what Lilith had just said.

Destroy gods and eradicate faith.

This time, it wasn’t just him they wanted to kill, but his entire sect.

It might even affect the entire Gold and Silver Island.

The Holy Court hated him to the core.

Two heroes against him in a fight would already be challenging. He might not have the capacity to protect Gold and Silver Island.

By then, it was hard to say how effective Skeletons and modern weapons would be.

Knock knock knock~!

As he pondered, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Heng looked up, hearing no response.

He opened the door and saw the Skeleton Alchemy Warlock standing outside, holding a tray with a potion.

Master’s Strength Potion.
