The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: Chapter 834, How is Gold and Silver Island Chapter 1053: Chapter 834, How is Gold and Silver Island After a long journey, the carriage finally returned to Seterde Fortress.

Standing on the towering walls were skeletons clad in blue armor, wielding weapons, their hollow sockets flickering with eerie blue Soul Fire.

It formed a continuous line along the wall.

The guard team, following the carriage, also started looking grim.

“How come there are so many?”

“What kind of weapons are those Necromancy wielding?”

“The news mentioned that the skeletons of Lundham City use a device that shoots out pellets. It must be that.”

“Do you think the people in the city have all been turned into skeletons?”

The guard team continued forward, quietly discussing among themselves.

They were the rear guard and had not participated in the necromantic wars of Lundham City. Although they had heard some news, they had not expected so many Undead Skeletons on the city walls.

The skeletons guarding the city lined up in rows; surely not all the people in the city had been killed!

From inside the carriage, one could faintly hear the discussions of the guard team.

The Princess lifted the curtain, her eyes filled with fear as she looked up at the walls.

She turned towards Wu Heng in surprise.

She wanted to ask a question but then closed her mouth.

There was a look of worry she could hardly conceal on her face.

As the carriage moved forward, it approached the city gate.

After some negotiations and a brief check, the city gate opened, and the convoy moved inside.

After entering the city.

The scene was completely different from what had been anticipated.

There were no bodies scattered everywhere, no aura of death.

Shops along the road were all open for business, and people could be seen out on the streets, some of them looking over from afar and gathering to talk in low voices.

Apart from the skeleton Patrol Guards passing by on the streets, the city seemed no different from a normal human city.

“Your Highness, your accommodation has been arranged. It is opposite the Commander's Mansion. Our City Lord has prepared a banquet as well.”

Hartel approached, maintaining a proper distance as he spoke.

Returning to Seterde Fortress made Wu Heng feel as if he were returning home. Stepping down from the carriage, he took a deep breath.

Then he said, “Vaughn will accompany me to the banquet, and Natalia will take the others to the accommodation.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” the group saluted.

The crowd split up at the spot.

The Guard Commander and Wu Heng, following Hartel, went to the Commander's Mansion, while the Princess and the rest of the guard team went directly to the arranged temporary lodging.

After arriving at the Commander's Mansion.

Wu Heng met Wen Mansha; they exchanged smiles and then sat down at the dining table after introductions by Hartel.

During the meal, they discussed subsequent arrangements.

After all, the guard captain was also in attendance.

The act must go on.

After discussing the matters of mutual defense and government official arrangements.

Wen Mansha glanced at the Commander beside her and then said, “How does the Second Prince plan to travel to Lundham City? We have a device that can return to Lundham City in a short period, but it can only take you alone. If you travel by normal means, it might take half a month by train.”

Wu Heng feigned surprise and asked, “How safe is this device?”

“I will be using this device to return as well. I certainly wouldn't joke with my own life,” Wen Mansha said.

“Then good, I'll go with you tomorrow,” Wu Heng replied, then looked at the accompanying Commander, “Vaughn, you take the squad and follow by train later.”

“Your Highness, wouldn't that be a bit…” Vaughn came closer, his tone hesitant.

“Don't worry, there won't be any problems, just act as usual.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Vaughn nodded directly.

Wen Mansha kept her smile, “Then tomorrow morning, when I leave, someone will come to fetch Your Highness.”

“Good, then I'll take my leave now,” Wu Heng stood up.

Accompanied by Wen Mansha, Wu Heng and the Guard Commander left the Commander's Mansion and returned to their arranged mansion.

After returning.

Vaughn continued to advise for a while from behind.

However, Wu Heng insisted on leaving early with Wen Mansha the next day under the pretext of building mutual trust.

Vaughn felt it was risky and unnecessary, but the Prince insisted, and he had no better solution.

He could only agree.

Upon seeing the Princess, Wu Heng suddenly thought of her.

He couldn't leave her behind since she was supposed to accompany him to Lundham City for subsequent plans.

He would need to find a reason to take her along when they left tomorrow.

As for the Princess's maid, she could go with the guard team.

Then, after a chat with the Princess, he returned to his own room to rest.

Once it was completely dark, ensuring no one would come looking for him.

Wu Heng cast the “Teleportation Technique” and returned to the Commander's Mansion.

The spell array in the hall was gradually becoming complete, and Wu Heng's figure also appeared following it.

As soon as his vision was restored, he saw two figures not far away.

Wen Mansha was sitting in a chair, with Hartel standing beside her.

“Master, you've arrived!”

“Sir!”

Wu Heng also showed a smile, “I've arrived.”

“You really looked the part. If I wasn't familiar with your eyes, I would have thought you actually were the Second Prince,” Wen Mansha said as she walked over with a smile.

“I specifically learned his movements and tone. Pretending to be someone else is quite tiring,” Wu Heng said, taking off his coat, which Hartel then took and hung up.

“Master has worked hard. It's our fault, Hartel and I lack the ability to handle such things well,” Wen Mansha said with a distressed tone.

She was in charge of handling matters in Lundham City.

However, in the end, Wu Heng had to come back from far away to deal with several big issues.

“It's okay, you all have worked hard as well,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

If he didn't have the Otherworld or modern weapons, no one could handle these situations well.

For someone like Wen Mansha, who came from a gang background, trying to stand against the Second Prince without outside help would be impossible.

“Thank you, Master,” Wen Mansha said again, and Hartel also bowed.

“Let's go see our daughter,” Wu Heng said, wrapping his arm around Wen Mansha's waist and walking upstairs.

They entered the children's room together.

A few Ghost Hags were tidying up scattered toys.

“Hush, she's asleep,” Wen Mansha made a shushing gesture.

The three of them carefully observed.

Wu Heng lowered his voice, “She seems to have grown quite a bit.”

“Children grow up fast.”

“That's true.”

Wen Mansha continued, “Do you think, when the child is a bit older, we should see if she has any talent for spellcasting?”

“I wouldn't know how, maybe we could hire a teacher to look into it when the time comes.”

“You're just being lazy.”

“Not at all, I truly don't know how to teach.”

They whispered for a while, careful not to disturb the child's rest.

Then they tiptoed out of the room.

Back in the corridor, Wu Heng said, “I'll go to the radio room to check on the situation at Gold and Silver Island, Hartel please prepare the bathwater.”

“Yes, Sir,” Hartel turned and left.

Wen Mansha returned to the bedroom.

Inside the radio room.

Wu Heng picked up the microphone and said, “Get Mini for me.”

Before long, Mini's voice came through, “This is Gold and Silver Island.”

“Mini, it's me!”

“Master!” Mini exclaimed in surprise, her tone full of joy.

Following that, footsteps and the voices of Robey, Annette, and a few other maids calling out 'Master' were also heard.

“Good, hope you all are doing well!”

“We're all good. Master, how about you?”

“I'm almost done here, I'll be back in a few days,” Wu Heng said directly.

“Really? We've been missing you so much,” Mini said somewhat coyly.

Laughter from the other maids and 'we miss you too' phrases continued to come through.

It seemed like the maids spent their days quite happily.

Among the many maids.

It seemed that those who went with him to Gold and Silver Island had relatively easy lives.

Andre Willow had been arranged to work at the city hall, while Mini and Robey had good living conditions and didn't have much to worry about.

Wen Mansha would often mention enviously the lives Mini and the others led.

Wu Heng continued, “How's Gold and Silver Island?”

When talking about serious matters, the laughter on the other end stopped.

Mini said, “Everything is normal on Gold and Silver Island. Xi Ligui, the Steward, came over twice, asking the Skeleton Prophet to help identify two fugitives. Also, the church on the island is running again, and according to the Steward, several high-level Priests have arrived.”

The Holy Court had reopened?

The last time, Lilith had beaten up two Level 18 professionals from The Holy Court and even sent those two back to headquarters for punishment.

When he left, the church was still closed, and now they had added high-level professionals.

Why such a keen interest in Gold and Silver Island?

Besides, now that he had a Level 20 Skeleton and several Zombies in training in prison,

he wasn't really afraid of these people.

“They haven't done anything, have they?”

“No, they're just doing some evangelism on the island, but there's a problem with their church. Skeletons can't get near it, and the daily ringing of the bell causes nearby skeletons to become unstable. The Steward, Xi Ligui, said there is something in the church that restrains Skeletons.”
