The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 927

Chapter 927: Chapter 741, Where is Prince 2 Chapter 927: Chapter 741, Where is Prince 2 On the rooftop of the Association building, several Tamed Beasts stared at the approaching figures.

Wu Heng stopped at the doorstep.

He heard a faint voice, “Uncle, there are many people inside, the ones by the door are the Association's Guard Team, and many are holding strong crossbows; they seem to be merchants and they look quite wealthy.”

Indeed, many people were hiding inside the Association.

Generally, a riot in the city wouldn't affect the Association.

The people of the Association itself possessed some combat capabilities, and moreover, there were repercussions from headquarters.

Drawing attention from the headquarters of the Association was not a good thing.

“How high is the highest level inside?” Wu Heng asked.

“Level 14,” Xiao Xiao whispered softly.

“Hmm, got it,” Wu Heng responded, glancing at the Skeleton beside him, “Go knock on the door.”

The Skeleton stepped forward, raising its fist and knocking twice on the door.

Wu Heng shouted inside, “The battle is over.”

Inside, silence reigned for a few seconds, then a deep and serious voice responded, “The Association does not involve itself in any power struggles, you can handle it yourselves.”

This was also a statement of stance.

It meant that the Association had no ties with the fortress, no matter who won, the Association wouldn't interfere.

It seemed that they were still quite tense.

After all, facing an undead army, it wouldn't be surprising if they killed everyone in the Association too.

Wu Heng said, “Come out and talk; I can assure you that you won't be threatened, besides, you can't stay locked in there forever.”

The building lapsed back into silence.

Now that the undead had taken over the city, could they hide inside forever?

It would be better to take this opportunity to talk with the person in front of them to understand their intentions.

After a brief silence.

The door opened a crack, and a middle-aged man in silver armor stepped out.

Sunlight streamed into the building, revealing rows of strong crossbows aimed at the doorway.

The man scanned his surroundings and asked in a low voice, “How should I address you?”

Wu Heng responded, “Harry Bogle!”

“Lowen, local steward,” the man introduced himself.

Wu Heng continued, “Who else is inside the building? It's not just your Association's people, right?”

The steward said, “Merchants from the city, and some of the members' families. They have no connections with the city's military, I can assure you of that.”

Wu Heng nodded and continued, taking out a document from his Space Ring and handing it to the other man, “This is a report submitted to the headquarters of the Association by Lundham City, detailing the Yeko Kingdom's harassment towards Lundham City and the timing and details of the military assault, you might want to take a look.”

The man's eyebrows rose, a war instigated by the Yeko Kingdom?

That differed somewhat from the propaganda about the necromantic declaration of war in the city.

He took the document and glanced at it; it was stamped with the seal of the Lundham City Association, so it should be correct.

“This is a matter between you two, it has nothing to do with us,” the other party still maintained.

“I'm letting you know the reasons.”

The man nodded, “Is there anything else we need to do?”

Who was right or wrong in the conflict, the local Association couldn't change much.

Moreover, with the undead army already in the city, what they could do was ensure their own people's safety.

As much as possible, avoid conflicts with them.

Wu Heng continued, “The Association can open as usual, but it would be best not to go out for any missions these days, and don't make any movements to attack the skeletons, otherwise I can't save you.”

Is that all?

The man glanced at him and asked, “What will happen to the residents of the city?”

“The ordinary residents won't be in danger, and the military won't disturb them, provided they don't engage in any dangerous actions.”

“Alright, I will arrange everything according to what you have said,” the man nodded.

“And those seeking refuge, the families and merchants, make sure they are restrained as well.”

“I will.”

Wu Heng didn't continue, turning around with the Skeleton and leaving.

The local steward also returned inside the building.

After the door closed again, people gathered around, including members of the Association and some merchants and nobles of the city.

“Steward, what did that man tell you? It won't affect us, will it?” someone asked eagerly.

The steward said, “These days, we all shouldn't go out, and also do not conflict with the skeletons outside, try to avoid them as much as possible.”

It seemed the skeletons wouldn't harm them.

This was somewhat reassuring.

The Association was still powerful, even in the face of Necromancy.

“Will the skeletons occupy here continuously?”

“When will they let us leave?”

“Why do the undead have to attack the kingdom? These damned undead, these damned Necromancers, they have caused the deaths of so many,”

Inquiries and curses could be heard around.

Gradually, the curses became more frequent, condemning the Undead Skeletons for killing so many people, scolding that the profession of Necromancer was the most evil, and also blaming the mastermind City Lord for attacking while the kingdom was unstable.

The Steward glanced outside the window and at the agitated crowd.

He handed over the guild-sealed report to an assistant, “Post it on the notice board; those who want to court death can go outside and curse, and don't involve others.”

The assistant posted the report on the notice board.

People curiously gathered around and meticulously read the content.

When they clearly understood the content and saw the seal,

shocked expressions emerged in their eyes.

The Yeko Kingdom had repeatedly harassed Lundham City and gathered troops to attack.

Was it the kingdom who struck first?

They forced the enemy into desperation, attacking all the way here, causing so many deaths.

“Why do they do this?”

“The inside is already so chaotic, yet they opted to attack outwardly.”

“It's completely rotten, so many died because of them.”

“That Steward posted the report, and people have started cursing the kingdom,” Bella caught up from behind.

“It seems he knows what he should do,” Wu Heng said.

“Mmm,” Bella nodded.

Xiao Xiao also floated over, hanging onto his shoulder, “Uncle, what are we going to do next?”

“Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion; leave the outside matters to the skeletons and those Commanders,” Wu Heng said.

“This way,” Glenda said, pointing to one side.

Wu Heng walked in the direction indicated, followed by skeletons and three Ghosts.

Along the way, a large number of skeletons were running and assembling on the roads; the living soldiers of Lundham City were also continuously shouting that the skeletons would not attack actively and that ordinary residents should not go outside.

Following Glenda's directions, they arrived in front of a building.

This place was called the Commander Mansion, not the City Lord's Mansion.

Glenda explained, “Ahead is where the Commanders have meetings, and the back is their residence; I've scouted it before.”

It resembled a guild, the front for office work, and the back housed the Leader's mansion.

Wu Heng walked in with the skeletons.

Upon entering the doorway, several corpses were seen on the ground.

Glenda continued, “The one who died inside was the Commander; the others outside were ordinary Commanders or Captains.”

“Wow, auntie is so awesome,” Xiao Xiao exclaimed in admiration.

“Their levels are not high, you could do it too,” Glenda told Xiao Xiao.

Wu Heng walked further inside and looked at the body of the dead Commander, then took off the Space Ring from his hand.

He did a quick check: weapons, living supplies, and some letters.

Wu Heng took out the letters and looked at the content.

His gaze slightly hardened.

All the surviving letters were written by the same person.

They arranged the next steps and the movement of troops and personnel.

It looked very likely that this was the Second Prince mentioned in the “Communicate with the dead.”

And the military forces to the north of the kingdom almost entirely swore allegiance to this Second Prince.

“Strip the equipment off their bodies.”

Skeletons began to work, stripping the equipment from the bodies and placing it aside.

Wu Heng turned to the nearest Commander's body and cast “Communicate with the dead.”

The body suddenly sat up, its murky gaze looking this way.

Wu Heng asked, “Do you have any more troops that need to support Seterde Fortress?”

The body answered, “In three days, an army of three thousand men carrying supplies will arrive at the fortress.”

There really were more troops coming to support.

The enemy probably hadn't expected that this impregnable fortress would suddenly fall.

Wu Heng continued, “We want to ambush them; is there anything we need to be cautious about?”

The body answered, “We will confirm the situation in the city in advance, and I personally will receive the supplies.”

It seems they cannot let the people inside the fortress go just yet; they must wait at least until this support squad arrives with the supplies.

Next, the third question.

“Whom do you serve?”

“His Highness the Second Prince.”

“Where is he now?”

The body pondered, “I'm not sure of the exact location, but from the speed of letter transmission, it's probably in one of the towns near Bogart City.”
