Chapter 928: Chapter 742, Building a Church Chapter 928: Chapter 742, Building a Church Wu Heng recorded this location.
Unlike the Crown Prince, who was associated with the association and collaborated with the religious faction to kill the local steward of the association, solving the case himself, the Second Prince had always kept his eyes on Lundham City, which was his private property.
It was personal vengeance.
Facing another query, Wu Heng continued, “Does the Second Prince have any high-level professionals with him?”
“Yes, I guess they might have reached level 18.”
Having said that, the corpse lay back down.
Yet another level 18 professional.
Why were these high-level professionals appearing one after another?
The Crown Prince had the support of the religious faction, and during his conversations with the Fifth Princess, the main ministers and generals within the kingdom also supported the Crown Prince.
Where did this Second Prince find so many high-level professionals?
Was it also the religious faction?
Or some other power?
Why hadn't these level 18s participated in the battle at Lundham City?
There seemed to be some missing information here.
Perhaps capturing the Second Prince directly could reveal the answers.
After questioning the corpse of the commander, there was no need to question the other corpses.
[Corpse Battlefield] was released, and the corpses all transformed into skeletons and stood up.
Wu Heng instructed, “Put on your original equipment and stand guard here.”
The skeletons began dressing, while Wu Heng, along with his ghost and personal attendant, headed towards the mansion behind them, “Come, let's see if they left anything good inside.”
Bella said, “I just checked, there's no one inside, but not much was taken.”
“As long as the things are here, it's fine.”
Gold and Silver Island, port.
“Look quickly, what fleet is that?” someone suddenly exclaimed.
The surrounding crowd also turned to gaze out to sea.
On the vast ocean, under a high-hanging sun, a fleet made of dark wood came into everyone's sight.
The sunlight, filtering through the clouds, cast beams of golden light as if draping the fleet in a holy garb.
Then, as the fleet drew nearer, its sails, white as snow and embroidered with a huge emblem symbolizing religious faith, billowed in the sea breeze.
“Is that the Holy Court's fleet? Are they attacking Gold and Silver Island?”
“The naval defenses of Gold and Silver Island are strong; even the Holy Court couldn't surpass them. Remember the pirate fleets?”
“The Island Master is appointed by the Association; what is the Holy Court thinking, attacking Gold and Silver Island?”
“With such an entourage, it must be the higher-ups of the Holy Court.”
“When the Holy Court lands and sees it's all skeletons, won't that be interesting?”
“That makes me kind of excited myself.”
People gathered at the port, speculating about the identities of the Holy Court personnel and discussing their reasons for coming to the island.
In any other place, seeing the Holy Court ships wouldn't be surprising, but their arrival at Gold and Silver Island piqued curiosity about their intentions.
After all, skeletons were ubiquitous on the island.
These undead soldiers, which the Holy Court would normally attack, were all over.
Thump, thump, thump!
At that moment, footsteps sounded from behind.
Xi Ligui arrived with many members of the Association, glanced at the approaching ships, and said, “Disperse the crowd, and coordinate the docked ships to make room for the Holy Court's vessels.”
The Association members responded and began to busy themselves.
The crowd made way, and the congested ships at the port also cleared space.
The Holy Court's ships slowly docked.
An elegantly dressed, lavishly attired Holy Court troop descended the gangplank and stood on the port.
Then, a figure seemingly made of Holy Light appeared before them.
Although his features were unclear, one could discern a crown on his head and a magnificent robe flowing around him, with a dazzling halo encircling him.
Xi Ligui, accompanied by the Vice-executive and city hall professionals, stepped forward and bowed slightly, “Leader Saidu.”
“Hmm, you must be Xi Ligui.” Saidu said blandly from within the golden light.
“Yes, Leader,” Xi Ligui responded even more respectfully.
Saidu spoke again, “Where is Wu Heng? Didn't he come?”
Xi Ligui lowered his voice and answered, “Leader, Island Lord Wu Heng is not on the island. A letter has already been sent, and he should return in a few days.”
Saidu seemed unconcerned, “I'm just passing by to take a look. No need to wait for his return; I'll be leaving this afternoon.”
“Leader, this way, please. A carriage is ready for you,” Xi Ligui gestured.
Saidu nodded and followed her into the carriage headed for the Central District.
In the isolated crowd around them.
The discussions erupted again.
“Who is that? They're glowing.”
“Must be an elemental avatar! At least a level 18 Priest.”
“This ability is much more useful than street lamps.”
“Gold and Silver Island is really saving face allowing a level 18 from The Holy Court to inspect.”
“What you just said, it's not like a level 18 Island Master hasn't been killed before.”
People continued to discuss animatedly.
Holy Court personnel, accompanied by Xi Ligui and the city hall staff,
visited the cinema, exhibition center, and the pen and watch stores in the city.
The inspection went smoothly all along.
It also let Xi Ligui and others heave a sigh of relief.
It appeared that they were just curious about the island, here for a visit rather than finding faults.
It would make things easier when explaining to Wu Heng later.
On the return journey, the carriage again passed through the Central District.
The carriage stopped, and Saidu disembarked followed by Xi Ligui and others from the rear carriage.
“What is this building for?”
An official from the city hall said, “According to the Island Master's request, it is intended for establishing the Mage Research Association.”
Saidu paid no heed to the official and spoke to someone by his side, “Follow up with the city hall and buy this place.”
“Yes,” a Priest nodded and went directly to the city hall to handle the procedures.
Xi Ligui sensed something was off and asked, “Does the leader like this place? I can arrange a mansion for you through Wu Heng.”
Saidu slightly shook his head.
Soon, the Priest handling the procedures returned, “It has been taken care of.”
Saidu glanced casually and said, “You all stay here and convert this place into a church.”
“Yes!” The people from The Holy Court nodded.
Xi Ligui and the others widened their eyes in shock, “Leader, this…”
Saidu's body then transformed into a stream of light, heading back towards the port.
Xi Ligui and the others were startled.
A church of The Holy Court on Gold and Silver Island.
It's over!
When Wu Heng returns, he'll clash with The Holy Court sooner or later.
Seterde Fortress.
Wu Heng had assembled the radio set.
Picking up the microphone, he contacted Lundham City, “Wen Mansha, can you hear me?”
Soon, a voice tinged with laughter came from the other side, “Master, do you miss me already?”
Ignoring the playful remark, Wu Heng lounged in his chair and said, “Seterde Fortress has been taken down, what are your plans?”
“So soon? Did you take it down?” Wen Mansha exclaimed in surprise.
While in Lundham City, she had briefed Wu Heng on the significance of this fortress and its robustness.
The plan was to amass troops first and then attack when ready.
Yet Wu Heng claimed to have captured it overnight.
“When I arrived here, I happened upon a Skeleton attack and just lent a hand,” said Wu Heng.
“Master, you are incredible,” Wen Mansha said, still in disbelief, then asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“Let's hear your plan first.”
Wen Mansha paused, then said, “Continue attacking downward. Seterde Fortress can serve as a resource point nearby, providing easier support with supplies.”
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “I feel we could rest first, utilizing the rail tracks here.”
“Master, you want to halt the attack? At this stage, it's hard for both sides to calm down,” Wen Mansha spoke softly.
Both sides were enraged by the ongoing conflict.
Yeko Kingdom was currently in turmoil internally, unable to focus all energy here.
Whoever stabilized the kingdom first would consider reclaiming the lost lands.
Whether it was the Second Prince initially eyeing Lundham City or whatever reason,
they would stir up a war.
Halting the war seemed unrealistic.
Wu Heng obviously understood this, “That's not what I meant. In a few days, religious heroes from the Association headquarters are visiting Yeko Kingdom, and they have a bias against the undead. Let's pause the attack for a couple of days, and another point is to connect the rail to the closest position to Lundham City.”
Pausing briefly, he continued, “Let's see the situation, then continue the attacks downwards.”
“Heroes?”
Hearing Wu Heng mention heroes, Wen Mansha let out a skeptical gasp.
Heroes…
The highest combat power in this world was also coming to Yeko Kingdom.
Continuing the attack wasn't feared.
But being targeted by heroes might be more troublesome.
