The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 935

Chapter 935: Chapter 747, Prince 2 Chapter 935: Chapter 747, Prince 2 “Seeking to kill the Zombie King myself likely means using Skeletons as cannon fodder to reduce the number of corpses he controls.”

“The second matter, more national bases have also begun to contact us.”

“There's nothing surprising about that, gold and silver for food. Given the current circumstances, everyone would choose to make the exchange.”

“We'll find out the Zombie King's location when the time comes. We'll kill him ourselves, and as for the food trade, we can agree to it. Once the trading method is agreed upon, I'll prepare enough food,” Wu Heng said.

“Understood!” Qi Hancai agreed, then added, “I'll head back now to lead the team in scavenging resources.”

“Leave me a truck as well. The cleanup here is almost done, and I'll drive back when it's time,” Wu Heng commented.

“Then we will leave this one for you here.”

“Good.”

Wu Heng nodded, Qi Hancai waved goodbye, and made his way to the convoy.

A Skeleton was arranged to drive, leading the Skeleton Army onward.

After covering some distance,

Zombies began to appear ahead.

The Skeleton Hounds ran ahead to attract the Zombies, and the Skeletons collided with the horde of corpses.

Bella also flew out directly, beginning to devour Remnant Souls.

By nightfall, the battle had ended.

Wu Heng found a building by the road, and returned to Seterde Fortress.

In the room with the radio at the Commander Mansion,

Wu Heng picked up the microphone, Shanaela's voice coming through from the other side.

“You're not on Gold and Silver Island?”

“I'm not, I'm dealing with some matters outside,” Wu Heng replied.

“How come you're roaming around so carelessly again? You don't look like an Island Master, and besides, the situation outside is chaotic,” Shanaela said sternly.

Wu Heng was somewhat speechless; her tone sounded like a mother scolding her child.

Is she taking advantage of me?

“I got it, there's no danger here, I'll be back in a couple of days,” Wu Heng said, then asked, “How's Netalee City doing?”

“Everything is normal. The construction crew from Gold and Silver Island has started their work, and the Mechanist is also building the power plant. It seems Brittany has become quite reliant on you; she keeps asking when you will be coming over,” Shanaela said with a chuckle.

Wu Heng ignored the topic of the Fifth Princess being reliant on him and said, “Keep an eye on the Mechanists there; we only have a few on the island.”

These Mechanists had learned modern knowledge and had taken a considerable amount of time to be trained.

If they died out there, it would be a heavy loss.

Especially because one of them was a Corpse Ghost Mechanist capable of communication.

“Don't worry, I'm aware,” Shanaela replied before saying, “Elder Tapani has sent Philippa to pick up the fleet; it seems the headquarters has arranged for some VIP to come over. Do you know who it is?”

A VIP?

A religious hero had arrived.

Wu Heng said, “Saidu, the Religious Hero.”

“He's here? Do we need to hide the Skeletons in the city?” Shanaela asked, sounding surprised.

“No need; he's already headed to Gold and Silver Island and plans to establish The Holy Court there.”

“The Holy Court? On an island managed by a Necromancer?” Shanaela's tone turned serious.

“Yeah, Xi Ligui and the others haven't had time to react, and the other party has already settled the matter,” Wu Heng said helplessly.

“What he plans to do, Xi Ligui and the rest can't stop anyway. Opposing him might only make things worse for her. If Saidu goes back to headquarters and has Xi Ligui moved from Gold and Silver Island, that would be even more troublesome,” Shanaela advised.

“That's what I was thinking as well. I told them not to worry about it for now. I'll deal with it when I return.”

Shanaela continued to instruct, “Don't act rashly. What you need to do now is quickly reach level 18. Once your level is higher, many problems will naturally resolve themselves.”

“I know, I won't do anything outright,” Wu Heng agreed readily.

“You… better not give them any leverage to use against you,” Shanaela said.

Wu Heng then said, “I've ordered a batch of Plant Growth Potions from the Wood Elves. When you have time, ask about their delivery for me. Also, arrange another order for food supplies. It doesn't matter if it's a bit much; have it sent to Gold and Silver Island.”

“I'll ask about it tomorrow,” Shanaela replied.

“Good.”

After a brief chat, they ended the communication.

Wu Heng got up and left the radio room.

He sat in his study for a while.

Knock, knock, knock~!

“My lord, dinner is ready.”

The sound of knocking, followed by Hartel's voice.

“Come in!”

The door opened, and Hartel walked in with dinner, placing it on the desk.

He then stood aside respectfully.

After Wu Heng began to eat, Hartel spoke softly, “My lord, all the shops in the city are now open for business. Some shops are without owners, so we've temporarily placed our people there. The city hall has also opened, but it's still understaffed.”

“The cleanup of the collapsed city wall is expected to be completed in about five days, after which we can start rebuilding.”

“`

“At the border, the railway tracks extending toward Lundham City have commenced construction, with mostly Skeletons being used. The construction pace should be faster,” Wu Heng casually said.

After Hartel's arrival, things began to go smoothly.

After all, Wu Heng didn't have much time to deal with the affairs of the fortress.

Instead, he focused more on empowering the Ghosts and himself.

With Hartel managing, many things had become much simpler.

“How are the city residents' attitudes toward us changing?” Wu Heng asked offhandedly.

“For now, there hasn't been much improvement,” Hartel replied calmly.

Wu Heng wiped his mouth, took all the flyers out of the Space Ring, and said, “Post these notices in the cities we've captured.”

Hartel picked up one and understood Wu Heng's intentions after reading it.

Publicising the reasons for the warring to show that Yeko Kingdom was the aggressor.

This would reduce the civilians' resistance.

“Alright, my lord, I will arrange it first thing tomorrow morning,” Hartel said.

“Um,” after dinner.

Hartel cleared away all the dishes.

And Wu Heng returned to his bedroom to rest.

Another day passed.

Zombie World.

A mass of Zombies surged over, colliding with the Skeleton Army.

Bella ascended into the sky, beginning to devour the myriad Remnant Souls.

And with each soul consumed, system notifications emerged beside his ear.

[Ghost has leveled up to 19, Agility+1, Perception+3, Intelligence+2.]

Bella had leveled up.

Wu Heng looked at Bella in mid-air, her body slightly more solid, her speed of devouring Remnant Souls even faster.

Now it was time to prepare for Level 20.

Wu Heng glanced ahead, the Zombies and Skeletons still locked in combat.

But now, this location was at the edge of a small town, and most Zombies had been cleared.

It was fortunate to have reached Level 19; otherwise, finding a new leveling spot would take some time.

Seeing the battle continuing,

Wu Heng walked to the back to the truck Qi Hancai had left behind and used the radio to say, “Calling Shanfu Base.”

“This is Shanfu Base. Go ahead.”

“I need Vice Leader Qi.”

“Please hold.” After a brief moment, Qi Hancai's voice came through, “This is Qi Hancai.”

“My mission here is done; I need to find a new location.”

Qi Hancai recognized Wu Heng's voice immediately and replied, “Alright, I'll come over tomorrow morning. Also, I have news about the first matter we discussed yesterday.”

The first matter?

The Zombie King's issue.

“Let's talk when you arrive tomorrow!”

“Got it!”

Ending the call, Wu Heng stepped out of the truck and continued to wait for the battlefront to end.

Yeko Kingdom, Nilar City.

Inside a somewhat dim mansion lit by Illuminating Stones, shadows were cast in every direction.

In the main seat at the center sat a handsome man with golden hair and blue eyes, his hair tied in a short ponytail at the back of his head.

He wore a blue brocade robe, with exquisite patterns embroidered in gold thread around the neckline and cuffs.

He was leaning on the seat, a look of fatigue on his face, the dark circles under his eyes distinctly visible.

The Second Prince of Yeko Kingdom, Clifford.

Around his seat were various ministers seated.

“Gentlemen, what should we do next?” the handsome man in the main seat spoke up.

An elderly man, dressed lavishly, stood up, slightly bowed, and said, “Your Highness, there have been some rumors that Seterde Fortress has fallen. I think we should verify this first.”

“Fallen? That fortress couldn't even be breached by the Beastman Alliance Army in the past. How could Lundham City possibly…”

The Second Prince said disdainfully, resting his forehead on his hand.

The previous battle might have been lost, but it wasn't possible for Seterde Fortress to have fallen.

Unless the defending soldiers opened the gates.

Surrendering to the Undead Skeletons was even more unlikely.

“I think we should send a small team to take a look, it also reflects Your Highness's concern for the frontline commanders,” the elder continued.

The Second Prince nodded, “Since you're worried, arrange a squad to go check, and ask what supplies they need.”

“Understood, Your Highness.”

The Second Prince then said, “Let's talk about the traitor Di Taliao next, and what our next steps should be.”
