Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Listening to the assistant's report, the five elders simultaneously revealed expressions of disbelief.

After all the assistants and attendants had left the meeting room,

a silence of several seconds lingered in the room.

After a good while, the First Elder finally said, "It seems the news we've received is all the same."

The elder in the second seat said, "If you've also heard about the headquarters appointing Wu Heng as the leader of the field operations, then we've all heard the same thing."

No one spoke, tacitly acknowledging the matter.

The middle-aged female elder in the third seat said softly, "It seems the information Shanaila sent back is true, and we were somewhat…"

"Fortunately, the news arrived in time," the First Elder interrupted, then continued, "Now that Wu Heng's identity as a hero has been confirmed, let's continue discussing the cooperation with Gold Silver Island."

The conclusion that had just been reached now turned into a continued discussion.

In the fifth seat sat a man with long hair and extremely heavy dark circles under his eyes, looking like an artist who had been burning the midnight oil for years.

Rubbing his eyes, he said, "Before discussing this matter, I'm a little curious whether the information we previously collected about Wu Heng is accurate. Has there ever been a human in history who became a hero in their twenties?"

It sounded like a question, but it was also a reminder to the others that it was unusual to become a hero so quickly.

"The Necromancer faction is somewhat special. The direction of their术法specialized research is related to death and life, and most of the life-extending methods currently available come from the research of the Necromancer faction," the elder in the fourth seat, wearing a green robe and looking somewhat old, said softly.

"It is indeed worth questioning!" the Third Elder said, then added softly, "But these things are no longer important after he becomes a hero."

"The Third Elder is right," the First Elder said in a calm voice. "Let's continue discussing the matter of Gold Silver Island. Besides, the association headquarters hasn't investigated anything, so it's meaningless for us to speculate here about whether he has any problems."

In addition to the information sent by Shanaila, the Wood Elves were also collecting some information.

The Pope's attack on Gold Silver Island and the association's several investigations into Wu Heng—the Wood Elves had also received news of these events.

There was also the suspicion that Wu Heng was an old monster who had survived using some special术法.

But since the Holy See and the association hadn't investigated anything and had even appointed him as the leader, it was of little significance for them to discuss these things further.

A hero was a threshold; once crossed, ordinary rules could no longer bind them.

The Second Elder coughed lightly and said, "Even if Wu Heng becomes the leader, his foundation still cannot compare to the Holy See. If it weren't for this matter, we could have tried to win him over through Shanaila's connections, but now the Holy See is still the best choice."

The female elder in the third seat said softly, "We need to consider two things. First, the headquarters appointed Wu Heng as the association leader, giving him all the rights of a leader. Will they mediate the conflict between the two sides later? I don't think the headquarters will allow such a big conflict between two leaders; at least, they will step in to mediate."

Regarding the first point, the issue of conflict between the two sides, the headquarters would definitely not allow the conflict to continue to escalate. Perhaps they were already mediating.

If they broke off relations with Wu Heng now, it would be even more difficult to repair them later.

Moreover, the other party had become a hero and was no longer an ordinary island owner of Gold Silver Island.

The second point was the most important: the method of becoming a hero. According to his path of advancement, could they also support another hero in a short time?

If heroes could appear quickly, then no matter how much pressure the Holy See exerted, the Wood Elves would have to seize this opportunity.

Moreover… speaking of which, everyone felt the idea of whether they could become a hero themselves arise in their hearts.

"The Third Elder is right," the Fifth Elder with dark circles under his eyes took the lead in agreeing.

"He publishes newspapers and improves various kinds of goods. Now that I think about it, these should all be means of accumulating fame. The entire headquarters, or rather, the high-level officials of various races, all know who Wu Heng is. He does have some ability," the Fourth Elder also said.

The Second Elder said, "The attitude of the Holy See cannot be ignored either. Since the Third Elder has raised a point of view, is there a solution?"

The Third Elder glanced at the other party, "Naturally, it's up to everyone to discuss and decide. It's not good for me to suggest any solutions."

The First Elder looked up, his tone gentle, "Speak freely. Whether it's right or wrong, it's the result of a joint decision by the Council of Elders."

Hearing the First Elder say this, the Third Elder's eyes narrowed, and she said seriously, "Standing on Wu Heng's side may change the current predicament of the Wood Elves. Agreeing with the Holy See and severing ties with Gold Silver Island will only return us to the way we were before."

The others pondered for a moment.

The meeting room fell silent again for nearly a minute or two.

The Fifth Elder with dark circles under his eyes finally said, "First Elder, I choose Wu Heng's side."

The Fourth Elder, who rarely spoke, also said, "Winning over Wu Heng would maximize our benefits, and our previous cooperation has been good."

Three of the five elders had chosen Wu Heng.

The First Elder looked to his side, "Second Elder, what is your opinion?"

"I can have someone tell the Holy See that the signed order has not been completed as a reason to delay them as much as possible and see how things develop later," the Second Elder also said.

The First Elder nodded and said directly, "Okay, let the Council of Elders write a letter to Shanaila, expressing their willingness to continue cooperating with Gold Silver Island, and at the same time arrange a delegation to go to Gold Silver Island to congratulate Leader Wu Heng."

He glanced at the few people below, "Fifth Elder, take a trip to Gold Silver Island."

"Okay!" the Fifth Elder nodded.

"Then that's it for now. Let's adjourn the meeting," the First Elder stood up.

The other elders also stood up one after another and walked out.

… …

Gold Silver Island.

The headquarters' announcement was posted on the association's bulletin board.

The mercenaries and association teams standing in front of the bulletin board looked at the contents above in horror.

Appointing Wu Heng as the leader of the field operations, enjoying the corresponding rights of an association hero.

The island owner has become a hero?

A human hero in his twenties?

Oh my god!

This is too exaggerated.

At the same time, all the previous doubts could now be explained.

Why did the Pope leave halfway during the attack on Gold Silver Island? Why did the association arrange so many leaders to come to Gold Silver Island to investigate?

It turned out that the island owner had also become a hero.

Gold Silver Island also has its own hero.

The news spread quickly on the island, from the central area to the residential area.

Everyone was shocked by the news, but the announcement stamped with the headquarters' seal left them with no choice but to believe it.

Executive Study.

Shi Yali put down the phone and said angrily, "He's gone again."

Xi La Gui put down the letter in her hand and said, "Did Minnie say where he went?"

"Still the same old excuse, out at sea on patrol," Shi Yali said helplessly.

"Let's tell him when he comes back, there's no rush," Xi La Gui also smiled.

The headquarters' announcement proved many things.

It meant that the investigation team did not find any problems, and it also meant that in the conflict with the Holy See, Gold Silver Island was more justified, leaving the Holy See with no reason to restrict the headquarters' appointment of Wu Heng.

Seeing this result, the sisters were both very happy.

Shi Yali leaned over, sat down beside her, put her arm around her sister's shoulder, and continued to ask, "What did the headquarters write in the letter?"

"Besides the matter of Wu Heng's appointment, there's also the fact that a new flag bearer is on the way," Xi La Gui said.

"A new flag bearer?" Shi Yali frowned.

"Yes! I hope there won't be any new problems," Xi La Gui said with some worry in her tone.

… …

Zombie World, after Wu Heng returned to Xin Fu City.

Li Yanhong drove him to the prison, "Fu Hongen contacted me. I told him he can come and get the grain at any time."

After all, they had discussed it before, and now that he had obtained the gold, he also had to pay the corresponding grain.

"Okay," Wu Heng continued, "We can also collect the locations of various countries' gold reserves and exchange information for grain."

This incident also served as a reminder to himself.

Ordinary people would definitely not be able to obtain the locations of large gold reserves in various countries, but he could collect some.

"Okay! I'll tell all the bases about it. This kind of news shouldn't be hard to find," Li Yanhong said while driving.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "The living conditions in some small bases are relatively poor in winter. See if we can recruit some talents to come over."

"What kind of talents?" Li Yanhong continued to ask.

"Modern weapon and equipment researchers, or technicians who can speed up the restoration of the modern environment, are all welcome. They can say what they want when the time comes. I can't say for sure," Wu Heng said.

"After I go back, I'll take care of both things together." Seeing that Wu Heng didn't make any new requests, Li Yahong glanced over here and said, "Is Xiaoxiao here?"

"No, she's out playing Superman. Are you looking for her?"

Li Yahong continued, "Have you and Sister Zhao made plans to have dinner together next time?"

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Don't be nervous. I don't object to you seeing Sister Zhao. We've always had a good relationship anyway." Li Yahong gave him a knowing look.

Li Yahong was very generous in this regard.

Back then, she was the one who blindfolded herself and then switched to Qi Hancai, playing a 'guess who I am' game with him.

Confirming his relationship with Qi Hancai.

According to her, a leader like Wu Heng couldn't possibly have only her.

Instead of finding someone else outside, it's better to find someone with a good relationship, which will save a lot of trouble in the future.

"Don't overthink it. Xiaoxiao wants us three to have dinner together. The final outcome is still uncertain," Wu Heng replied.

Li Yahong said, "Sister Zhao will definitely be fine with it. It just depends on what you think."

Wu Heng suddenly became speechless.

He could feel Glenda and Bennie, who were cloaked and hiding in the back seat, were practically glued to his face, listening to their conversation.

"We'll talk about it later. You should train hard after you go back. I'll come to see you next time and check your combat effectiveness," Wu Heng changed the subject.

"I'll work hard!" Li Yahong's expression stiffened.

Just thinking about it made her butt hurt.

He really hits hard.

The two chatted casually, and Li Yahong stopped the car at the entrance of the prison.

Wu Heng got out of the car, and Li Yahong lowered the car window and said, "Call me when you have time."

"Okay, go back early!" Wu Heng waved to her.

Xiaoxiao also floated beside him, waving and saying, "Goodbye, Auntie."

The latest and fastest novel is at 6_9_shu_ba_dot_com!

"Goodbye."

The vehicle started, and Li Yahong drove away.

Wu Heng led the ghost into the prison, and Xiaoxiao went to the prison cell to take a look at the zombies, complaining that they hadn't leveled up yet.

They returned to Golden Silver Island together.

… …

Island Lord's Mansion.

Wu Heng came down from upstairs, and as soon as his feet touched the first floor, the maids in the house swarmed over.

"Master, the association has issued an announcement recognizing your leadership!"

"Does this mean we don't have to be afraid of the Holy See anymore?"

"The whole island is discussing you becoming a hero."

The maids spoke in a chaotic manner, their voices filled with excitement.

Wu Heng also understood the meaning of their words, which was that the official appointment from headquarters had been announced.

From now on, he had truly become the leader of the association.

"Calm down, it's not a big deal!" Wu Heng patted each of their heads.

Andreville looked up at him and asked curiously, "Master isn't surprised at all. Did you know about this in advance?"

The little fox is clever.

"Leader Lilith mentioned this before."

The maids nodded, revealing a look of understanding.

A sound of 'thump thump thump' came from upstairs, and Xiaoxiao, controlling the doll, ran down, looking at the few people gathered at the staircase entrance, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Luo Bei said, "Master has been appointed as the leader by the association."

"Oh!" Xiaoxiao replied, and then said to Wu Heng, "Uncle, I'm going to find Sister Lilith."

"Go ahead, and ask Leader Lilith to come over for dinner tonight," Wu Heng said.

"Okay." Xiaoxiao nodded and ran straight out.

Luo Bei said, "Xiaoxiao also knew?"

"Xiaoxiao was also there when Lilith said it." Wu Heng led the few people to sit down in the living room.

Minnie took out three letters from the space ring and handed them over, "Master, the association also sent two letters."

Two letters!

Wu Heng took them, put one on the coffee table, and immediately tore open one to read.

The first one was the appointment letter from headquarters.

It was written in a rather complicated manner, but the main content was that Wu Heng's level had been raised to level 20, and he had made outstanding contributions to the association. He was appointed as the field leader, with the same treatment as the association leader except for executive power.

The second half was that after becoming the leader, his identities as Flag Bearer and Inspector would be canceled.

Wu Heng didn't have any surprises after reading it.

Now that he had become the leader, the power he could wield was naturally above that of the Flag Bearer and Inspector, so these two identities were no longer necessary.

Moreover, the levels corresponding to the Flag Bearer and Inspector didn't match his own.

It didn't matter if they were canceled.

He continued to tear open the second letter.

This letter was an ordinary one.

「Respectable Leader Wu Heng:

Hearing that you have become a hero admired by all, at this moment full of cheers and applause, please allow me to offer my belated congratulations.

Previously, after careful consideration of the puppet order you proposed, I am willing to help you complete the production of the puppet.

However, I have a special proposal for the payment method, hoping that you can help me promote my reputation as a reward for the puppet production… ….

… … , Looking forward to your reply, may our cooperation be successfully achieved.

— Mortimer.」

The puppet master's reply to him.

Xiaoxiao's puppet is now being customized by Lilith, but there are still two ghosts in the house who are looking forward to having a body.

Judging from the words in the letter, he doesn't seem as strange and unapproachable as Lilith said.

Lilith said last time that the other party had reached level 19, and it seems that he wants to use his help to try to become a hero.

He would discuss it with Glenda in the evening to see how to complete this cooperation.

After putting down the letter, the maids were still looking over here.

Wu Heng said, "One is a letter from headquarters, which is about appointing me as the leader. The second is from the puppet master, who plans to customize a puppet like Xiaoxiao for the ghosts."

"Oh!" The maids realized.

They thought there was something special going on, but it turned out to be this matter.

Wu Heng asked, "Where's Shanaila?"

"After knowing that you became a hero, Sister Shanaila went to see several chamber of commerce representatives who stayed on the island, and she hasn't returned yet," Minnie said.

Wu Heng nodded and continued, "Let's celebrate tonight. Minnie, call Sheila and McIntosh and ask them to come to the island for dinner later."

"Okay."

Hearing that they were going to celebrate, the maids got up and went to prepare the dinner.

… …

Neta Lei City, Fifth Princess's Residence.

Several figures cloaked in black robes were rapidly charging through the skeleton guards.

Wherever they passed, large swaths of skeletons were shattered by sword energy and magic, scattering into white bones all over the ground.

"There! Try to capture her alive." Someone shouted loudly, leading two others, directly pouncing towards the Fifth Princess in the back.

The Fifth Princess's face was grave, and she was tightly gripping the sword in her hand, her fingertips turning white from the force.

Whoosh ~!

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, followed by streaks of lightning falling from the sky.

The charging figures suddenly stopped.

They saw an old wizard with a white beard, leading several association members, rushing over from afar.

"Dean Janveito!" The Fifth Princess shouted as if she had survived a disaster.

The old wizard, dressed like Gandalf, his beard fluttering, his face filled with barely concealed anger, roared at the few people opposite, "You dare to break in here, you're courting death!"

Rumble ~!

Another large swath of lightning struck down from the sky, instantly killing several of the black-robed men.

The remaining association members also attacked the remaining people.

Although the religious leader had returned to headquarters, the investigation into the Kingdom of Yek still hadn't been finalized, and Neta Lei City was an important location for the association.

These people came here to kill the Fifth Princess, which meant they didn't take the association seriously, and they didn't take them seriously.

Seeing that the mission had failed, the leader of the assassins shouted, "Retreat!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran.

The association members and the surrounding skeletons began to encircle and block them.

"Only two were left, the rest escaped," the association member walked back and said.

Janveito said, "Organize the characteristics of these people and issue a wanted order in the city."

"Yes." The member responded and turned to leave.

Janveito looked at the Fifth Princess, "Your Highness, let's go to the association dormitory first, it's safer there."

The Fifth Princess took a deep breath, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go back and get some things."

After saying that, she took the maid upstairs.

She put the radio that Shanaila left for her into the space ring.
