Chapter 883: Chapter 711, The Hero Enters the City (One update for today.)_2 Chapter 883: Chapter 711, The Hero Enters the City (One update for today.)_2 Especially since, things have been a bit busy recently.
“I was thinking the same thing,” Wu Heng said.
Glenda continued, “In a few days, the new story will come out. You can arrange for it to be released on Gold and Silver Island and in Netalee City.”
“Okay,” Wu Heng nodded.
Glenda flew back to her spot to continue her writing.
Wu Heng continued to the radio and glanced at the record book.
There were no new entries.
Picking up the microphone, he said, “Wen Mansha, are you there?”
Soon, Wen Mansha's voice came through from the other end, “Master, I'm here.”
“How are things in Lundham City?”
“The frontline has sent back news, the Skeleton Army has successfully taken down the border defenses of the Yeko Kingdom and taken over the city,” Wen Mansha reported.
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, “That fast? Didn't they say they would arrive at the border today?”
“There was a bit of a timing error; the Skeleton Army marched through the night and their pace was quicker than anticipated. The whole army has left the Beastman army far behind. Before the Beastmen even saw the city walls, the Skeleton Army had already taken the city,” Wen Mansha explained directly.
You could sense the surprise in her voice.
She likely hadn't expected to wake up to find they had already breached into the territory of the Yeko Kingdom.
“How's the city we took?” Wu Heng asked next.
Wen Mansha continued, “There are hardly any people left. I've also ordered that the local residents not be harassed. We're preparing to send someone to communicate with the local association to clarify our identity.”
“That's very considerate.”
“We have no choice; we don't want to be accused of anything unfavorable. It's better to be careful,” Wen Mansha replied helplessly.
Having broken through the city and leading the Skeleton Army, on some level, Lundham City's forces resembled the villains from a story.
Without an explanation, it would be easy for Wen Mansha to be placed on a wanted list.
“Write another letter and have the local inspector from Lundham City deliver it to the association headquarters, explaining the situation in advance,” Wu Heng considered and then instructed.
“Alright.”
Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said, “I had wanted to go there to protect you all, but the association has new arrangements; it might take some more time for me to get there.”
“You don't need to, Master. If we were at a disadvantage, then you could return. Right now, the Skeleton Army is advancing unhindered; your return isn't necessary,” Wen Mansha said.
“Alright, I'll have a look at the situation here. You and our daughter, be safe.”
“We know, Master,” Wen Mansha said softly.
“Then that's it for now; let me know if anything comes up.”
“Okay,” Wen Mansha agreed, and then coaxed, “Come on, say goodbye to daddy.”
A baby's cooing faintly came through.
Wen Mansha said, “She's saying goodbye to you.”
Wu Heng also said with a smile, “Goodbye, sweet daughter.”
After ending the communication, Wu Heng sat down in a nearby chair.
His mind started to ponder the whole situation.
He had to wait for the new elder from the association to arrive before he could head for Lundham City.
His presence now wouldn't be much help to the ongoing battle.
On the contrary, the arrival of a new investigative team from the association that started to pressure the Yeko Kingdom from within might actually be an advantage for Lundham City.
After contemplating for a while, he stood up again.
He addressed a few ghosts, “Girls, come back for now, we'll return to Gold and Silver Island this afternoon.”
Glenda gave him an annoyed look, “That way of addressing us… so dull.”
Xiao Xiao also flew over, “Uncle, why are we going back?”
“To take a look and pick up some supplies.”
There wasn't enough time to go to Lundham City, but a trip to Gold and Silver Island was no problem.
In any case, he had to wait for the arrival of the new elder.
“Alright!” Xiao Xiao nodded.
The three ghosts merged back into his body.
Wu Heng also left the City Lord's Mansion and went to an open field outside.
Putting on the Train Captain's Hat, he boarded the Phantom Train.
The train appeared in the wilderness of Gold and Silver Island.
Wearing the Faceless Mask, Wu Heng walked a distance before entering the urban area of the island.
The atmosphere of Gold and Silver Island was in stark contrast to that of Netalee City.
Bustling and lively, some people rode bicycles swiftly along the roads.
Young girls sat in the rear seats of the bikes.
He remembered the first time he saw Netalee City and was amazed that there could be such a prosperous city in this world.
Now, Gold and Silver Island was no less bustling than Netalee City back then.
Wu Heng hailed a horse-drawn carriage and went straight to the Island Lord's Mansion.
He took off his mask at the door and walked in.
“Master?” Mini, along with two other maids, approached but did not come too close, their gazes filled with caution.
In the morning, Shanaela had communicated about ordering supplies, and now Wu Heng was back in the afternoon?
“Yes, I've come back for some things,” he confirmed as Kai Xiu and Kerim, two skeletons, also entered behind him.
The maids were reassured that it really was Wu Heng who had returned.
Excitedly, they rushed over, “Master, we've missed you so much.”
Wu Heng hugged the three of them, “I've missed you too.”
“Master, will you be going back today?” Robey asked, hugging his leg curiously.
“No, I'll return tomorrow morning.”
Mini said, “Then, I'll have the skeletons prepare a lavish dinner.”
“Yes, let's talk in the room,” Wu Heng suggested, leading them into the living room.
Wu Heng recounted the events that had occurred after the last battle.
When they heard Wu Heng had become an Inspector with the authority to dismiss local stewards, they shouted with support.
“Wow! The master can control stewards now.”
“Master, you're so amazing.”
“Besides heroes, you're the greatest, right?”
At his little maids' place, one could always expect to gain an exceptional boost in morale.
