The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 940

Chapter 940: Chapter 751, Power Bullying Chapter 940: Chapter 751, Power Bullying “What do you mean 'temporarily not agreed'?”

It seems there's a lack of confidence in that statement.

Shanaela sighed softly, “”

The words from the other side seemed to lack confidence.

Shanaela said, “Brittany was quite decisive in her refusal, but the Church has considerable influence over humans and it was the Church Leader himself who proposed this. It might make her compromise in the future.”

Brittany was placed in her position by Wu Heng.

He arranged for skeletons to guard the city and helped restore the damaged buildings and construct power plants, effectively binding her to Gold and Silver Island.

However, from the current comparison between the two parties, Gold and Silver Island is inferior to the Church, and Wu Heng doesn't stack up against the lofty Religious Leader.

If it were any other prince or princess, they'd probably be more than happy to accept the proposal of the Church Heroes.

“Any suggestions?” Wu Heng asked.

Shanaela said, “It's simply a matter of making Brittany believe that relying on you is the best option. This young lady is quite easy to deceive, which is something you're good at.”

“Don't spread rumors.”

Shanaela smiled and then continued, “The most direct method is still to increase your strength. If you also reach the level of a hero, all problems will no longer be issues.”

In the end, it all depends on strength.

As long as you show sufficient strength, external threats and allies' choices can all be well resolved.

I've already reached Level 19, and with my age and the time since my profession change, I'm considered a genius.

There's likely no one who doubts that I can reach the level of a hero in my lifetime.

The level is my trump card.

It's also a dangerous signal.

Revealing it might cause a sensation as well as make enemies even more wary of me.

Like this time, with the Church Heroes establishing a church in Gold and Silver Island and wooing Brittany, it's also seen as a form of suppression.

After all, rumors about me only suggest I'm a young genius who reached Level 15.

Although rare, they are still plentiful; it's uncertain whether I can even reach Level 18, not to mention posing a threat to this hero.

Assigning some local bishops or Level 18 professionals could handle me.

But if they knew I was Level 19, it would increase the likelihood of a direct confrontation between us.

It would then be difficult to simply aim to level up afterwards.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then said, “I'll try to level up as fast as possible, and you also give Brittany some promises. I will help her claim the throne, not just the position of a bishop.”

“I will convey that to her,” Shanaela spoke with a neutral tone.

Wu Heng asked again, “Is the hero still in the city?”

“He left with his team for Yeko Kingdom's Royal City this morning, and I contacted you after he returned,” Shanaela replied.

“That's good.”

Wishing him gone, to encounter the sects and clash with the influence of the Snake Badge Consortium.

Shanaela yawned and then said, “It's time for the second elixir auction, and it's still to be held at Gold and Silver Island. These days need some preheating; I will write letters to the nobles who left messages last time, and you arrange for the newspaper of Gold and Silver Island to put in ads.”

“Just use the radio, and let Andre Willow know!”

“You say it; my words aren't as effective as yours, boss,” Shanaela's tone teasing slightly.

Wu Heng also laughed and said, “You calling me boss sounds quite nice.”

There was a pause on the other end, then Shanaela spoke softly, “We'll see how skilled you are.”

“Next time we meet, I'll inform Gold and Silver Island to publish it in the newspaper and release some information to increase publicity,” Wu Heng stated.

“Okay,” Shanaela replied, then added, “I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to chat with Brittany.”

“It's all on you, my love.”

“Stop it!”

Ending the call with Shanaela, Wu Heng continued to contact Gold and Silver Island.

He passed on the details about the elixir auction to be held.

After all, it's necessary to advertise ahead; besides, the last elixir auction was very successful. With good management, this one could attract even more wealthy nobles to buy elixirs.

In today's world, elixirs that directly enhance attributes are hardly different from life-extending elixirs.

…

After instructing Mini about the newspaper.

Wu Heng also hung up the call and sat in his chair, contemplating the current matters.

The Church Hero trying to recruit Brittany was certainly also due to the collaboration between Gold and Silver Island and Netalee City.

But now, all this could be considered a form or inter-factional bullying.

Using The Holy Court and their Church Heroes to suppress him.

Brittany was indeed clever, realizing that The Holy Court's recruitment was meant to suppress Wu Heng.

Otherwise, they would have offered help when she was struggling to escape.

Why now?

“Brittany trusts me greatly, she shouldn't easily agree to them.” Wu Heng muttered.

Then his mind quickly focused on finding a countermeasure.

“Capturing the Zombie King yesterday might be a way.”

If he could confirm that the Corpse Core accelerates the evolution of Mutated Zombies, he could cultivate a batch of Level 20 Skeletons.

That would also enhance his own strength.

“The Holy Court has a suppressive effect on Necromancy, but firearms could compensate.”

“And there's also cultivating the Zombie King.”

Discovering that the Zombie King could evolve also pointed to a path for improvement.

Could he forcefully use the number of Corpse Cores to generate a Level 20 Zombie?

After all, he had already planned the mass production of Corpse Cores.

“The direction is feasible!”

“It seems I should head to Gold and Silver Island first.”

The initial plan was to stay in Seterde Fortress, observing the actions of the Second Prince and the Crown Prince.

Looking for opportunities to enhance his own reputation.

But everything had quietened down recently, it would be well-handled here by Wen Mansha and Hartel.

He should first sort out the Zombies matter.

Moreover, there was also the Elixir auction mentioned by Wen Mansha, which could be handled there at Gold and Silver Island too.

After sorting out his thoughts,

Wu Heng got up and walked out of the room, heading for the study.

The three Ghosts were busy with their tasks.

“Something the matter?” Glenda asked.

“The Church Heroes have arrived at Netalee City, looking to recruit Brittany as the local Bishop…” Wu Heng carefully repeated what Shanaela had told him.

Xiao Xiao turned around, “Who is Brittany?”

“The Fifth Princess.”

“Oh, that princess sister,” Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

Glenda then asked, “What are your thoughts?”

“There's no urgent matter for us here; I'm planning to head back to Gold and Silver Island, handle the purchasing of animals for cultivating Corpse Cores, and the Elixir auction,” Wu Heng replied with his hands clasped behind his head.

“That's good,” Glenda nodded in agreement, then said, “You could write to the leaders of the Hongwen Alliance and Lilith, inviting them to participate, maintaining a good relationship with them is also beneficial for you.”

“Good idea, and also the Sword of Justice, he was also my top hero when I served as a Field Envoy,” Wu Heng said.

“It feels a bit like forcing connections, but it's worth a try,” Glenda said with a smile.

Wu Heng took out some stationery and started writing letters to the three.

First, he reported on the cases he investigated, then invited them to the auction.

After finishing, he let Glenda check over it.

Then he sealed the letters with wax in envelopes.

Taking the three letters, he opened the door and went downstairs.

…

In the grand hall on the first floor.

Hartel stood up and respectfully bowed, “Lord, breakfast is ready.”

Wu Heng passed the three letters to her, “Arrange for someone to deliver these to Black Stone Town, to be mailed out through their association.”

“Yes, Lord,” Hartel took the letters and left.

Wu Heng sat down at the dining table to start breakfast.

Hartel returned from outside, standing straight to the side, “Lord, the letters have been sent out.”

“Mm! I'll return to Gold and Silver Island tonight,” Wu Heng put down his utensils.

Hartel frowned, her expression a bit anxious, “Did I fail to take good care of you?”

“No, I need to go back to deal with some matters, and I'll return to see all of you once I'm done,” Wu Heng said, then instructed, “Take care of yourself here. Since they can't take down the fortress, they might resort to assassination methods. Before I leave, I'll choose a few Level 15 Skeletons to protect you.”
