The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1370 - 986, Queen’s Succession_2

Chapter 1370: Chapter 986, Queen’s Succession_2

The pupils of the three constricted abruptly.

They knew they would rely on Wu Heng.

After all, the queen in front of them was pregnant with Wu Heng’s child.

In a sense, it was half of Wu Heng’s country, but cutting ties with The Holy Court involved too much.

The Holy Court valued the collection of faith the most. The Kingdom forbidding them from collecting faith was perhaps more severe than killing the Archbishop.

The newly appointed Minister of Finance instinctively spoke, "Your Majesty! Wu Heng the Leader... is just one person!"

His voice carried a hint of urgency, implying that the foundation of The Holy Court was far beyond what one person could withstand.

Brittany nodded, her expression unchanged, "Given the current situation, we cannot afford to waver. If we want to end the war and regain autonomy for the Kingdom, we must bet on Wu Heng."

"There’s... no other choice."

The room fell into silence.

From Brittany’s tone, it seemed this matter had been discussed with Wu Heng.

The three exchanged silent glances, yet none had the ability to change anything.

"Can Wu Heng the Leader... protect the Kingdom?" the Commander of the Kingdom asked bluntly.

Brittany gently caressed her lower abdomen with her fingertips, a slight smile on her lips, but her eyes were cold, "He definitely can! Don’t worry, I wouldn’t joke with my life."

The three pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded.

...

Zombie World, prison area.

Skeletons dragged two zombie corpses and placed them together.

Wu Heng unleashed the [Bone Manipulation Skill], flesh fell away, and two robust skeletons with wings on their backs stood up.

[Spirit Corpse Thief (Level 20)]

[Spiritual Corpse Boxer (Level 20)]

Both skeletons retained their original profession, which was quite nice.

Having a profession allowed them to wield weapons, much better than Shanshan’s reckless charging.

"Uncle! Let’s call them Jumping Number 2 and Sandbag Boxer Number 2, simple and easy to remember." Xiao Xiao floated on the shoulder, speaking.

Now with more Level 20 skeletons, Xiao Xiao wasn’t as interested in naming them initially.

For the same professions, it’s easier to continue with numbers.

Wu Heng nodded, collected the ’Corpse Cores’ from the ground, then said to the newly joined skeletons, "From now on, you are Jumping Number 2, and you are Sandbag Boxer Number 2."

The two skeletons showed no reaction and continued to stand beside them.

Wu Heng gestured, saying, "Let’s go, let’s head back first."

He led the skeletons and ghosts back.

Lady floated beside him, saying in a surprised tone, "Was it you who released the zombie virus?"

"How could it be!" Wu Heng glanced at her.

Lady’s eyes were filled with suspicion, "Wasn’t it you, who wanted to cultivate high-level skeletons, and then created the virus?"

Wu Heng replied without good humor, "When the virus broke out, I wasn’t a professional yet, and I don’t have such capability to directly create an apocalypse."

Lady continued to scrutinize him.

Little Fei flew over, with a gesture like a student raising a hand, and said, "I can testify, this prison was built afterward, the virus was definitely not released by Uncle, and Uncle doesn’t know any Necromancy experiments at all."

Wu Heng said, "Enough after that."

"Oh!" Xiao Xiao smiled.

Lady also nodded, although Xiao Xiao was unreliable, she wouldn’t lie, at most just not speak.

"Indeed! With your character, you wouldn’t do such a thing either."

Together, they returned to the control room.

Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Uncle, give me the doll and the mobile phone, I want to see what’s on the forum."

Wu Heng took out the doll and phone, and Xiao Xiao immediately possessed them, then began to operate the phone skillfully.

The other three ghosts floated behind Xiao Xiao, also looking at the contents inside.

Wu Heng distributed weapons and equipment to the newly joined skeletons.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, he called out, "Lady!"

Lady turned her head to look.

Wu Heng continued, "As for the Body Refining Technique we discussed last time, how’s your recalling going? We are constantly facing threats from The Holy Court, I want to practice a bit, and also to improve myself."

Lady directly said, "Once we return, I will attempt to write it down, and if I can write everything, I’ll teach you how to cultivate it."

"Great, Lady is so smart, such a small matter is surely nothing." Wu Heng immediately flattered.

The level improvement of professionals also boosts memory.

Lady, not being Level 20 in life, was definitely close to Level 20, so remembering those contents should not be difficult.

Lady glanced at him, "Enough! If I can write it down, I’ll teach you; if not, then forget it."

"Alright!" Wu Heng nodded.

A person and ghost chatted a couple of words.

Lady’s attention returned to Xiao Xiao’s phone. She didn’t recognize many modern characters, and had to listen to Xiao Xiao’s explanations.

It sounded quite lively.

At three in the afternoon, Wu Heng let the Three Ghosts return first, then walked directly into the boundary door.

...

Returning to the Royal Palace.

After dinner, Wu Heng prepared paper and pen for Lady, allowing her to begin recalling the Body Refining Technique’s contents.

He himself chatted with Xiao Xiao, Glenda, and the ghosts for a while, then returned to his room to rest.

Opening the door, the Fifth Princess ’Brittany’ was already in the room waiting in her silk nightgown.

Upon seeing Wu Heng return, she rose, "Master."

"Tomorrow is your coronation, why are you still coming to me?" Wu Heng stroked her head.

Brittany replied with a smile, "It doesn’t interfere and before you leave, we still have tasks to complete!"

"I’ve prepared a screen for you. Get the skeletons to install it in the square, so more people can see it tomorrow." Wu Heng said.

Brittany’s eyes lit up, "Okay, I’ll arrange it first, then come back to find you."

After speaking, she put on a coat and left the room.

Deep into the night, Brittany quietly returned.

She carefully climbed onto the bed, leaned into his chest, "Master, I’m back, those skeletons are left at the door."

"Hm, it’s fine." Wu Heng held her shoulder, "How was today?"

Brittany replied, "Met with several ministers, everything went smoothly."

Wu Heng removed her nightgown, "Let’s hurry a bit, don’t delay your matter for tomorrow."

"Okay!" Brittany nodded with a red face.

...

Next day, Royal City.

As the first morning light pierced through the clouds, the clock tower in the Royal City rang out with a distant rumble.

Flocks of white doves swirled in the sky, morning sun shining through their wings, scattering fine rays of light.

Kingdom flags had been hung on both sides of the street since the previous day, gently swaying with the breeze.

At the square, a large crowd had already gathered, softly discussing the Fifth Princess’s ascension today.

Suddenly, a light flashed in the sky ahead.

A huge screen displayed a clear image.

Residents widened their eyes.

"It’s the Royal Palace, the ceremony has begun."

"We can also witness the King’s coronation."

Instantly, the square buzzed with chatter.

Inside the Royal Palace, the sound of horns abruptly ceased, and the hall plunged into absolute silence.

Then, the heavy doors slowly opened, the Queen ’Brittany’ stepped in gracefully, donned in the King’s robe, with a heavy cloak trailing on the ground, holding a scepter whose top gemstone refracted light.

Brittany walked step by step onto the platform.

The Chief Mage holding the crown stepped forward.

"Brittany, are you willing to bear the weight of the Kingdom?" the Chief Mage’s voice echoed within the hall.

Brittany slightly bowed her head, her tone firm, "I am willing."

The Chief Mage held the crown above the Queen’s head, then gently placed it on her.

Brittany straightened herself once more, facing the ministers, she raised the scepter, "From today, I shall be the Star Crown, restoring the Kingdom’s glory."

As soon as her words fell, the ministers below saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Meanwhile, the people watching through the giant screen.

Also kneeled down in unison.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

The chant echoed throughout the sky.

...

Royal Palace, in a corridor.

Wu Heng watched the entire coronation ceremony.

A normal king’s coronation is usually conducted by The Holy Court.

But the Kingdom wanted to resist The Holy Court, Wu Heng couldn’t appear, so he could only let the Chief Mage place the crown.

"Your little queen has quite a presence." Lady said beside him.

"Power changes whoever it falls upon." Wu Heng said with sentiment.

"Yes, you have somewhat of a point." Lady agreed.

Ring ring ring~!

At this moment, the phone rang, it was Mini calling.

Wu Heng moved to a quieter place, answered the call, and asked, "Mini, what’s up?"

"Master, the radio intercepted a message saying the Religious Leader acquired a Special Item that can restore his body." Mini’s voice was serious.

Restore his body?

Wu Heng furrowed his brows.
