The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1019

Chapter 1019: Chapter 812, Ghosts in the City? Chapter 1019: Chapter 812, Ghosts in the City? Wen Mansha's expression turned ugly, revealing suspicion and fear.

They had listened to Wu Heng recounting his experiences in Netalee City, including his encounters with the heroes from the Snake Badge Consortium.

It was then that they had realized the leader behind the Snake Badge Consortium was a hero.

A hero recognized as the strongest by the association itself.

In a place like Lundham City, ordinary heroes were regarded as divine beings.

Let alone this person.

But why did he appear here?

Wasn't he supposed to be in Netalee City?

Why?

An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding that of the Yeko Kingdom, enveloped her whole body.

Wen Mansha rose to contact Wu Heng, took two steps forward, then stopped in her tracks.

She asked, “What did they say after entering the city?”

Hartel replied, “The Guard Team didn't know their identity. They just followed your orders to not interfere with the association and the consortium's people and let them in directly.”

“How many people came?”

“There were six people who entered the city,” Hartel said. “Madam, the train to Lundham City is departing at noon. You could take the lady back to take a look at Lundham City. It has been a while since your last visit!”

This was suggesting that she should go back to avoid them.

Even if that strongest hero truly posed a danger, as long as she left this place, there would be time to contact Wu Heng.

Wen Mansha stood still for a moment and then sat back down, saying, “Go prepare some gifts. You can represent Lundham City and visit them; I'll contact the master.”

“Madam! You should go to the station first!” Hartel still insisted.

“It's okay. They probably don't have malicious intentions. Our overreaction could rather cause their displeasure,” Wen Mansha stated firmly.

Within the entire fortress, except for Hartel, no one knew Wen Mansha was here.

Moving herself could easily draw their attention.

“Madam, what should I prepare?” Hartel asked.

“Choose from the gifts brought by the master, especially the watches and pens. Don't take out the elixirs,” Wen Mansha instructed softly.

“I understand,” Hartel nodded, then turned and left the room.

Wen Mansha glanced at the child, then walked sternly towards the room with the radio.

…

Local Snake Badge Consortium building.

Inside a luxuriously decorated room.

The hero 'Dragon' sat on a loveseat, where the ample seating appeared unusually narrow and cramped.

After taking a sip from the beverage handed to him,

The room door opened, and a middle-aged man in a deep blue suit swiftly entered and knelt on one knee, his head slightly bowed.

“Seterde Fortress Officer Raymond at your service, my leader.”

Dragon glanced at him, his voice deep yet commanding, “Tell me about the situation here.”

The local officer, still bowing, spoke softly, “Two months ago, the Lundham City army broke through the fortress overnight. The person in charge of the management here is the City Lord's steward named Hartel, who has been oppressing the city's residents excessively. Currently, all shops are operating normally and all taxes have been waived.”

Dragon slightly raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, “The city was taken overnight?”

Upon mentioning this, the middle-aged man's voice turned exceptionally serious, “The city was taken suddenly! The north wall completely collapsed and has not yet been fully repaired.”

Dragon nodded, lost in thought.

Destroying an entire city wall implied the use of some powerful force.

He continued asking, “What about their attitude towards the consortium?”

“Our treatment has been friendly. Moreover, after their occupation, a building was allocated in the Central District for the consortium,” his subordinate reported earnestly.

The Yeko Kingdom did not officially recognize the Snake Badge Consortium, and while it still existed within the kingdom, it was only in the form of 'ghost markets' and underground markets.

Having such a building in the city was a post-occupation development by Lundham City.

Dragon nodded, picked up his glass, and took another sip.

At that moment, a knocking sounded from the door.

A subordinate hurriedly entered, bowed respectfully, and said, “My leader, a steward named Hartel heard that the core members of the consortium had arrived and has specially sent some gifts.”

“Oh? Bring them to me to see,” Dragon said with curiosity.

A brocade box was brought forward, opened to reveal shiny and exquisite watches and pens.

Watches, pens!

Truly, products from the territory of Gold and Silver Island.

“Tell her that the gifts are accepted and that we are only passing through.”

“Yes!” The subordinate left quickly.

Dragon then took out a watch and examined it closely.

Unexpectedly, he had obtained a bestselling product from Gold and Silver Island in this manner.

…

Squeak~!

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the building.

Wu Heng stepped down from the carriage and using the route Bella had tracked, returned to the Intelligence Minister's study.

As the door closed, he slightly relaxed.

He said, “Bella, keep an eye on events outside. Inform me immediately of any military movements. Xiao Xiao and Glenda, search around here to see if there are any hidden rooms.”

“Alright!” The Three Ghosts immediately dispersed into action.

Wu Heng then opened each drawer and bookshelf, taking out all the documents inside.

Indeed, as the Intelligence Minister, he had recorded all kinds of archival information.

He returned to the desk and started to look over the documents one by one.

Before long, Xiao Xiao and Glenda also flew back one after the other.

Regrettably, they said, “Uncle, we couldn't find any secret room! He seems quite poor.”

Glenda laughed and said, “Level 18, how could he be poor, this place is probably just his office, the good stuff might be at his house.”

“Should we go check his house then?” Xiao Xiao suggested.

“Forget it, we don't have that much time,” Wu Heng said while handing some documents to Glenda, “You take a look too, see if you can find the location of the Second Prince.”

“Okay!” Glenda flew over and started to look at the documents.

Time passed by slowly.

One person and one ghost had looked through quite a number of documents, while Xiao Xiao collected some seemingly valuable decorations around, planning to take them when leaving.

At that moment, Bella flew back from outside, her tone urgent, “Wu Heng, the army is heading this way, they have already ordered to kill you on sight.”

It seemed that they had been exposed.

Disguising himself as the Intelligence Minister left no one at the Commander's office.

By combining this with the previous disappearance of the Minister of Political Affairs, one could roughly deduce the whole situation.

Glenda said, “Being surrounded by the army is still somewhat dangerous.”

The other two ghosts also turned their heads to look.

Wu Heng said, “Let's leave first, catching two level 18s is already a big gain.”

Saying this, he collected Xiao Xiao's gathered items and all the documents into the Space Ring.

The noise outside the window grew closer.

His appearance changed, and with the “Teleportation Technique,” he disappeared in the next second.

He reappeared.

It was in a dark alley, surrounded by the household trash of those living opposite, swarms of flies, the stench of urine filling the air.

Outside the alley, there was a large gathering of people, talking and converging towards the distance.

Wu Heng said to the approaching ghosts, “Xiao Xiao, follow me. Glenda and Bella, keep an eye on the city's movements. With two level 18s lost in the city, the Second Prince might change locations.”

Xiao Xiao stayed close by, while the other two ghosts flew into the sky to observe changes in the entire city.

Wu Heng walked out of the alley and merged with the noisy crowd, heading back to the Intelligence Minister's office building.

Watching a large group of guards rushing in, a commotion ensued.

“What's going on now?”

“How come they are arresting their own people?”

“Who knows! Since that Second Prince came, the city has never been quiet.”

“Is it possible that these people have been hiding here and were only discovered today?”

“That's also possible, let's see who gets brought out.”

The crowd speculated, guessing who the Guard Team was arresting with such a large operation.

Then, the Guard Team began dispersing the onlookers.

Different area Patrol Teams regrouped and set off, starting to search every house.

Wu Heng gradually moved away from there.

He teleported back to areas the patrol had already searched and stepped out of a small alley.

“Uncle, where will you stay tonight?” Xiao Xiao asked.

It was already dusk, and they needed to find a place to spend the night.

They couldn't really spend the night on the streets like vagrants.

Wu Heng continued walking down the street, his eyes landed on the inn he had stayed at before.

The inn was already closed.

“Xiao Xiao, go check the private rooms in the inn,” Wu Heng said.

“Okay!” Xiao Xiao nodded and flew up directly.

Shortly after, he returned from above, “Uncle, the private rooms are all empty.”

“Let me check the position.”

Xiao Xiao dove into his body, Wu Heng confirmed the position, then walked into a dimly lit corner and used the “Teleportation Technique.”

His figure disappeared in the array and appeared in a room of the private area.

Central District, a somewhat gloomy room.

Dressed in a luxurious purple robe, the Second Prince stood in front of the round table in the room, his hands supporting the tabletop, his knuckles slightly white from the strain.

On the table, there was a newly delivered report documenting the information of the missing officials.

“Silently, three people gone, two of them level 18s, are there ghosts in this city now?” The Second Prince's voice trembled with anger.

The people gathered below also wore faces of seriousness and concern.

Level 18s disappearing mysteriously, it's uncertain who among those present could be next.

One of the elders, dressed in a brocade robe, stroked his beard and said, “Your Highness, the Guard Team has already searched the whole city, maybe they found some clues.”

The Second Prince narrowed his eyes, “What else is left to search, it's just the same people as before, the main thing is what method they used.”
