The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035: Chapter 823, New Plan Chapter 1035: Chapter 823, New Plan Wu Heng gave her a displeased glance.

“You got all that from chattering folks in the tavern, and you actually believed them!”

Most of Bella's information came from her time working in the tavern.

She even believed the rumor that the Second Prince liked men.

Glenda smiled and said, “I'm not sure if he likes men, but there is indeed a woman called the Princess in that mansion, and this Second Prince couldn't possibly bring other princes' women to protect them!”

“It must be his wife. The Second Prince is not young, and by human lifespan standards, it's normal for him to have a family,” Wu Heng analyzed and continued to ask, “Is there only this one Princess?”

With the Princess here, it was quite easy to guess some things.

The Second Prince was in Nilar City, keeping his family there, also to avoid any danger they couldn't attend to.

“I only discovered her and a few maids; as for whether there are other family members, it's hard to say since just by appearance, we can't tell if they are related to the Second Prince or not,” said Glenda.

Wu Heng nodded, indicating he understood.

Glenda then asked, “What should we do next? It's getting dark; do you plan to spend the night outside?”

“I haven't really thought about what to do.”

Glenda hovered in mid-air, pondering for a moment, then suggested, “You could try disguising yourself as the Second Prince. If that doesn't work, we'll consider other options.”

“Disguise myself as the Second Prince and flee back to the city?”

“Yes, pretend that the Second Prince was attacked in 'Nilar City' and had to flee back. Normally, it takes three days to travel between the two cities, so the news wouldn't travel that fast,” Glenda floated back and forth in the air twice, sharing her thoughts.

Wu Heng thought it over and felt it was worth a try.

“First, let's 'Communicate with the Dead,' get things clear, then enter the city.”

The Three Ghosts nodded.

The bodies that had been packed away were taken out again.

First, they used the Faceless Mask to replicate the Second Prince's face.

Then, facing the body of the Second Prince, they unleashed “Communicate with the Dead.”

The dead body sat up, its gaze directed towards them.

Wu Heng began, “What agreement did you reach with the Secret Cultivation Hall?”

The body answered, “They supplied the people and the money to help me ascend to the throne. Once I become the King, we would co-govern the kingdom.”

It was indeed the Qilin Road plan of the Secret Cultivation Hall.

The Secret Cultivation Hall used various means to place their people or their supported candidates in leadership positions of countries or powers, gaining control over the national discourse.

Bella had mentioned before that the rumors suggested the Second Prince was not very interested in the throne.

His interests lay more in the arts.

But suddenly competing against the Crown Prince for the throne, with battles back and forth, it was the Secret Cultivation Hall manipulating behind the scenes.

The second question, Wu Heng asked, “Besides the members of the Secret Cultivation Hall who just boarded the carriage with you, are there any other members?”

“In Nirali City, the finance officials, the municipal minister.”

Wu Heng continued to ask, “I want to disguise as you to enter Sti City; what should I be cautious about?”

The body answered, “Follow the established method; wear the kingdom's emblem on your chest and enter the city under the guise of being a relative of Minister Edwin.”

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, “Who are the main responsible persons in Sti City?”

“Managing Minister Edwin, Commander Russell!”

The last question.

“What are the names of your family members in the city?”

The body answered, “My wife, Natalia.”

With the five questions concluded, the body lay back down once more.

Glenda asked, “Why didn't you ask about the officials in Nirali City?”

“There are still three bodies of the Secret Cultivation Hall members left. Having served as officials in the city for so long, they surely know too. We'll continue with 'Communicate with the Dead' when needed,” Wu Heng directly responded.

“As long as you've thought it through,” Glenda said indifferently.

Wu Heng found a new brocade robe among the belongings the Second Prince carried, put it on, and while putting on the mask, spoke, “Glenda, possess the body of a Secret Cultivation Hall member. Let's coordinate.”

Glenda glanced at the remaining bodies and directly used “Stealing Body.”

Amidst a harsh crunching sound, he slowly stood up, twisting his skeleton in place for a while.

Only then did his movements seem much more adapted.

He touched the indentation on his forehead and said, “Next time you want to possess someone, don't hit the head; it's too obvious.”

After “Stealing Body,” the bullet hole in the forehead had been repaired.

But you could still feel a significant dent, as if the bone had shattered with only a layer of skin wrapped around it.

“I'll be more careful next time,” Wu Heng said.

The rest of the bodies were gathered up, and after making the clothes look disheveled, he hurried towards the city wall.

Swoosh~!

Two arrows shot down from the city wall and stuck into the ground ahead of them.

“Who's there? The city gate is closed; come back during the day tomorrow if you want to enter,” yelled the guard loudly.

Wu Heng, now assuming the appearance of the Second Prince, held an emblem in one hand and an Illuminating Stone in the other, and shouted back, “We are from the Kingdom, relatives of Minister Edwin, please ask him to come here.”

Murmurs whispered amongst several people atop the city wall.

Someone yelled out, “Hold on!”

The two halted their steps, silent.

After roughly half an hour, more of the Guard Team appeared on the city wall, including a middle-aged man who leaned over the edge of the wall, straining to look below.

Then he shouted, “Bring the Illuminating Stone closer, let me see your face.”

Xiao Xiao whispered in his ear, “Uncle, he's level 12.”

Level 12, not a low level either.

It was the level of local stewards in the city.

Wu Heng raised the Illuminating Stone higher, illuminating his features and displaying an expression of anxious exhaustion.

Creak~!

The city gate opened, and guards poured out.

Then the middle-aged man from above, who had just wanted to see the face, hurried over, took a closer look at Wu Heng, and then glanced at Glenda, who had possessed the body of a Secret Cultivation Hall member.

“Enter the city first,” Wu Heng said gravely.

“Okay,” the middle-aged man gestured slightly.

The large troop escorted them into the city.

They boarded a carriage and made their way to a mansion in the center.

Next, an armored, imposing Commander quickly strode in.

“Your Highness!” The Commander saluted.

Wu Heng, sitting in a chair, rubbed his forehead and said, “Nirali city has been attacked by several level 18 professionals, arrange for someone to go to Nirali city immediately to inquire about the situation and to inform them that I am unharmed, to prevent chaos among the troops.”

Hearing of the multiple level 18 professionals' attack, the two below tightened their hearts.

Then, hearing that someone was being sent to Nirali city, they dismissed their suspicions about the Prince.

The Commander immediately said, “Alright, I'll send someone right away.”

Saying so, he went down to give orders, then came back.

The civil servant Minister then asked, “Your Highness, what is the identity of the enemy? Do we need to increase security here?”

“The identity of the enemy should be arranged by the Royal Capital, I returned quite secretly, so they probably wouldn't guess I'm here. Increase the security, but don't make it too obvious.”

“Okay!” Both nodded in agreement.

Wu Heng took a deep breath and said, “Don't worry, they won't chase us here. I'll go back and rest now, and we can discuss the strategy more carefully tomorrow.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two stood up and saluted.

Wu Heng got up, and together with Glenda, who had possessed the Secret Cultivation Hall member, discussed matters as they walked to their quarters.

Inside the mansion.

Wu Heng asked a maid to prepare bath water and entered the study on one side.

With a Ghost scouting ahead, he could know the purpose of each room in advance and was not afraid of entering the wrong room.

He sighed in the study.

Then he relaxed the tightened collar.

These noble suits, if worn for a long time, were very uncomfortable.

The door opened.

A young lady with brown hair, tall and exceptionally beautiful, walked in slowly.

“Your Highness!”

Wu Heng glanced at her attire and the Space Ring on her hand, “Natalia!”

The corner of her eye narrowed slightly, “I heard Your Highness was in danger, are you hurt?”

Before Wu Heng could speak.

A Longsword appeared in the woman's hand.

With a swift, light movement like a hunting hawk, the Longsword slashed down.
