The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039: Chapter 826, Testing the Waters Chapter 1039: Chapter 826, Testing the Waters The smoke wolf that was running swiftly dissipated in an instant, looked back in terror at the figure pursuing it from the sky, and the smoke shattered in the blink of an eye.

It transformed into several smoke animals again, fleeing in different directions.

[Lightning Bolt Spell] refracted and shattered two, and then continued to chase the one in the farthest direction.

But after just taking a couple of steps, the pursuing animal dissipated on its own.

Disappeared completely.

Wu Heng's expression turned ugly.

He had lost track!

“See if there's a witch's level pillar of light.”

The two ghosts rose again, beginning to observe in the other directions they had fled.

Then they came back and said, “Uncle, there's nothing.”

“I don't have anything on my side either, she must be hiding,” Bella followed up.

“She got away again,” Wu Heng clenched his teeth.

This was the third time the witch had escaped.

The first time was in the face of Steward Imilo, the second was during the siege by Imilo and the veteran mage Gianvito, and the third time she had escaped from his hands again.

This witch really had some special abilities, not to mention her combat strength, just this self-preservation ability was extremely rare among professionals.

“Uncle, it's okay! We defeated five, and it's not a big deal if one ran away, don't be sad!” Xiao Xiao floated over, softly comforting him.

“Alright, for Xiao Xiao's sake, I'll catch her next time,” Wu Heng said as he controlled the flying carpet to fly back.

By now, the battle in the stone rubble area had ended.

The skeletons went into standby mode, and several corpses were placed in the center of the clearing.

The flying carpet was put away, and Wu Heng descended from the sky.

The surrounding skeletons stepped back, clearing an area.

“Strip the bodies of their equipment.”

The skeletons immediately got to work, stripping the corpses of their gear.

After everything had been removed, Wu Heng put it into the Space Ring.

Then he activated the [Mansion Skill], “Drag the bodies in.”

Five corpses with varying injuries were dragged into the 'Mansion Skill', and Wu Heng approached the first one and cast the [Revival Technique].

Huff~cough cough cough!

The corpse abruptly opened its eyes, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from its mouth and nose.

Wu Heng used the [Life Extension Technique] to maintain its vital signs, then fed it two pills.

With a thought, a cage automatically assembled in mid-air, trapping the 'revived' professional inside.

Then, Wu Heng continued with the same method, rescuing all of the remaining corpses.

One by one, iron cages appeared, incarcerating the five people, gravely injured and on the verge of death.

“All of you come in, watch them,” Wu Heng ordered from outside.

The skeletons outside began to file into the mansion.

“You're Wu Heng from Lundham City, right? Cough cough! Your target should be the Second Prince, we share the same goal, we can cooperate,” one person coughed violently before speaking.

“We can also cooperate, the war between us is just a misunderstanding,” another person followed suit.

“I can pay money for my life, name your price, Wu Heng, think about it.”

“Even if I leave, I will not divulge anything that happened here.”

“Wu Heng, you set the terms.”

Everyone began to speak, and with the skeletons continuing to come in, the whole space got noisy.

Wu Heng looked at them with no sign of surprise.

Everyone who came in tried to say a few words to him.

“Keep an eye on them, if they are not obedient, cut them a few times, but don't hit any vital points,” Wu Heng said and walked out directly.

The [Mansion Skill] closed, and the shouting inside disappeared.

Standing on the rubble, he looked around.

After the ghosts returned, he put on the [Train Captain's Hat] again and went back to Sti City.

After half an hour, the train stopped.

Taking advantage of the night, Wu Heng cast the [Teleportation Technique] several times and returned to the 'Princess Mansion'.

In the mansion, a side room.

The array gradually took shape, and Wu Heng's figure appeared shortly thereafter.

Two ghosts also followed flying in.

This place was where the possessed members of the Secret Cultivation Hall lived, being outsiders, they could only be placed outside in the side rooms.

In the dim study, Glenda sat at the desk, using the light of an Illuminating Stone to read a book in her hand.

Seeing Wu Heng, she asked, “What went just now?”

“I went back to Nirali City for a bit; I was planning to check on things when I happened to encounter both sides still fighting, so I took them all down,” Wu Heng said casually.

“Five of them, that witch turned into smoke and ran away again,” Wu Heng said helplessly.

Glenda frowned, looking at him strangely, “Did you let her go on purpose?”

“I don't know what kind of slack you think I'm cutting,” he said, “her ability to transform into smoke is quite special. Xiao Xiao and I chased her through half of the forest and still couldn't catch her.”

Xiao Xiao also cooperated in corroborating, “Yeah, Sister Bella, we were unable to possess her, and even with Uncle casting thunderbolts from the sky, we couldn't catch her.”

Hearing Xiao Xiao say this, Glenda nodded in agreement.

After contemplating, she said, “Now that she's run away, you need to consider that some of your information might be leaked by her. At the very least, the Crown Prince will know about your abilities, but you don't need to worry. With your current strength, that prince may not pose a threat to you.”

Wu Heng was no longer as he was back in Black Stone Town.

He was no longer worried about the policies of the Yeko Kingdom or the legal statutes from those above.

Knowing his strength, or knowing that he had killed the assassin he had hired, was unlikely to pose any threat to him.

Attack Gold and Silver Island?

Or report to the association.

He had hired an assassin from an evil cult, would he bring this matter up with the association?

Only if he were a fool.

“Alright, I'll be careful.”

Glenda continued, “Next time we take the Phantom Train, it's better not to leave us outside.”

“Did something go wrong?”

“Just now when I asked where you had been, it was because I felt the connection with you had been cut off twice. It must have been when you were on the Phantom Train. Although there was no substantive harm, you should still be cautious,” Glenda explained.

“Okay.” Wu Heng nodded.

Glenda continued, “This body of mine is getting too old. It can probably hold on for another two or three days before noticeable abnormalities appear. You need to prepare for that.”

“Tomorrow I'll find an excuse to send you out, and then dispose of the body in the wilderness.”

“That works too.”

“Then I'll head back first.”

“Alright.” Glenda nodded and picked up a book from beside her to continue reading.

Wu Heng used the [Teleportation Technique] nearby and returned to the main building of the mansion.

He went upstairs and entered the study.

As he pushed open the door, he saw the Princess resting at the desk.

Her hair was disheveled, and she was dressed in fairly unisex clothing, resembling a mercenary on a mission.

The sound of the door opening startled the Princess awake.

Seeing Wu Heng enter, her expression calmed down again.

“Have you finished your business?” Organizing her hair, the Princess stood up and asked.

After signing the contract, the signee naturally trusts and obeys from the heart.

Therefore, her speech was more respectful than before.

“It's taken care of. Have you prepared everything on your end?” Wu Heng approached.

The Princess moved away from the desk and said, “I've organized everything. In addition to his physical habits, there's also the Second Prince's diary. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the contents and the handwriting.”

A stack of notes was brought out.

The Princess continued, “You'd better find an excuse to rest tomorrow. It might be difficult to master all this in one night.”

Wu Heng glanced at them and said, “Making excuses will only raise suspicions.”

“If a minister probes, there could be problems.”

Wu Heng looked at the items on the desk, thought for a moment, and said, “No issue, it won't be a big problem.”

Then he found a spacious spot and his figure began to flicker at a high frequency.

In the blink of an eye, six identical figures appeared.

They formed a circle and began to discuss.

“Come on, tell me about some of his habits and mannerisms.”

Another Wu Heng said, “After you've told her, tell me about his speech patterns.”

The two on the right tore the notes in half, each one looking at a piece.

The remaining figures began to mimic the handwriting.

All of a sudden, the study burst into activity.

The Princess stood still, rubbing her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things or having hallucinations.

What kind of person was this, exactly!

The next day.

In the solemn hall.

Wu Heng, dressed in splendid finery, sat upright at the very top.

Below him were the Chief Minister Edwin, and the bulky Commander Seldun.

The Chief Minister's eyes constantly swept over the top of the hall.

He then bowed slightly and said, “Your Highness, who exactly attempted to assassinate you last night?”

Wu Heng sighed, tapped the arm of his chair twice, and said, “Di Taliao. He colluded with an evil cult, several level 18 professionals, and attacked Nirali City.”

“Oh? Your Highness, weren't you in the city of Erdoba? How did you end up in Nirali?” The Chief Minister inquired, his eyes piercingly fixed on Wu Heng.

Wu Heng frowned.

“I've always been in Nirali City, isn't that what we decided on together?”
