Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

The Fifth Princess's voice carried a hint of disappointment.

The idea of brotherly and sisterly affection that she once held had completely vanished after this incident.

Wu Heng asked, "Was the corpse interrogated?"

The Fifth Princess took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "Dean Zhan Weituo used a scroll. These people are from the Shadow Brotherhood. They accepted a commission to assassinate me, and they came from the direction of the Yeke Kingdom."

She continued, "The Dean said that this organization is within the Human territory and specializes in accepting assassination commissions. It's very famous."

Shadow Brotherhood?

His own skeleton servant, 'Jumpy', was a member of the Shadow Brotherhood.

He was caught in prison while assassinating Wen Mansha in Lentam City and was used for zombie cultivation.

According to the intelligence gathered previously, the First Prince's supporters are the clergy, and the Second Prince is the Secret Society, which in turn hired the Shadow Brotherhood to carry out some tasks.

This time, the people who came to kill the Fifth Princess were also from the Shadow Brotherhood.

Either the First Prince also hired the Brotherhood, or the Secret Society is up to something again.

"What did the Association say?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

The Fifth Princess replied, "They only told me to stay here at the Association and said they had written letters to you and the headquarters, asking me to wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Before the new Flag Bearer takes office, Wu Heng is still the Emerald Sea Flag Bearer.

Dispatching reinforcements is still his responsibility.

Wu Heng continued to ask, "Didn't those assassins leave?"

"The Association has intelligence that people are guarding outside the city, not leaving too far, suspecting they are waiting for others or still planning to take action," the Fifth Princess said.

Wu Heng sat in the chair and thought for a moment. He didn't have any arrangements today.

He could go and help the Fifth Princess deal with this matter and also increase the number of high-level zombies in the prison.

After thinking it over, he said, "I understand. Don't go out. Wait for me to come and handle it."

"You're coming over?" The Fifth Princess's tone was somewhat apologetic. "I'm troubling you again."

"Then let's leave it at that. We'll talk after I get there."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng sat in the chair and pondered for a moment.

Then he gave the position to the skeleton investigator and got up to walk out of the room.

Walking upstairs, he saw Shanaila, who had changed her clothes, coming downstairs.

"Going out?" Wu Heng asked.

Shanaila said, "Going to the church to check on the progress."

"The Fifth Princess sent a message via radio that the City Lord's Mansion was attacked yesterday at dusk and is now staying at the local Association dormitory," Wu Heng said.

Shanaila's eyebrows furrowed suddenly, "Was she injured?"

"She said she wasn't injured, but she lost some skeletons," Wu Heng said.

"The First Prince's people?"

"People from the Shadow Brotherhood, most likely hired by the First Prince," Wu Heng leaned against the stair railing.

Shanaila thought for a moment and said, "What are your plans?"

"I'll go over there. The Ghost Train is also very fast. I'll deal with this group of people first," Wu Heng replied.

Shanaila wasn't in a hurry to go out now. She looked at him and said, "After you get there, arrange a high-level skeleton to protect her. You're a leader, and running around all over the place isn't a good thing."

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Wu Heng nodded with a smile.

"I'll go out first. Come back earlier tonight," Shanaila said and continued downstairs.

Wu Heng returned to his study.

Granda and Bennie were in the room. Little Xiao should have gone out to play.

He called the two ghost souls in the room and greeted Minnie.

He summoned the Ghost Train in the courtyard and headed to Neta Lei City.

It had arrived at a wilderness outside Neta Lei City.

Putting on his hood, he walked directly into the city.

Time had passed.

Neta Lei City had regained some vitality.

The streets were lively, and the taverns and shops along the street were open for business as usual.

The most conspicuous thing was the street lights erected on both sides of the road, with the flags of Jin Yin Island and the Yeke Kingdom hanging on the poles.

To the outside world, Jin Yin Island and Neta Lei City signed a defense agreement.

In fact, the Fifth Princess had promised him joint management rights over the territory.

Looking at the street lights decorated with unusually gorgeous lampposts, Granda, who was invisibly floating beside him, said, "The Fifth Princess is managing well."

Bennie also said, "Last time, this place was like a ghost town. It's much livelier now."

"After all, she comes from royalty. The education she received is different from ours. It's normal to be good at management," Wu Heng said.

Bennie said, "You can't say that. I feel that the Second Prince's management is not as strong as the Fifth Princess. He occupied so much territory and was beaten from both sides while sandwiched in the middle."

"The Second Prince is quite special," Granda said with a smile.

The Second Prince had a good hand but played it poorly.

He had officials following him, and the Secret Society provided money. He had both people and money.

In the end, he was beaten by the First Prince in the front and by Lentam City in the back.

If the religious leader hadn't been investigating the First Prince at that time, he wouldn't have waited for Wu Heng to come. The Second Prince probably would have been gone.

The man and two souls walked and chatted.

After entering the Association Hall, the two ghost souls stopped talking to avoid attracting the attention of others.

Wu Heng stood in front of the notice board and glanced at it, but he didn't see the headquarters announcing that he had become the leader.

Judging from the time, the news was still on its way.

He took out the inspector's badge and showed it to the guard guarding the dormitory.

He went upstairs to the dormitory where the Fifth Princess was staying.

He knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, the little maid who had been with the Fifth Princess opened a crack in the door and looked over cautiously, "Who are you looking for?"

Wu Heng took off his hood, revealing his original face, "It's me, Wu Heng."

"Great Detective," the little maid's eyes lit up, and then she turned and ran into the room, shouting, "Princess, the Island Lord is here to save us."

Wu Heng looked at the gradually opening door, feeling that he should be allowed to enter.

He walked straight in and closed the door.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps from the inner room, and the Fifth Princess, wearing leather armor, came out, her big, dark eyes full of surprise, "You're so fast?"

"I used a tool to hurry on the road. Where are those people?" Wu Heng said directly.

"They should still be outside the north of the city," the Fifth Princess said.

"Let's go. We'll go over there now. It's better to solve it sooner and save you from danger later," Wu Heng said.

The little maid, who was making tea, turned her head, "Island Lord, the tea is almost ready."

"Drink it when we get back!" Wu Heng walked to the Fifth Princess's side and put his hand on her shoulder.

A halo formed under their feet in the blink of an eye, and the two disappeared.

The little maid's eyes widened.

The princess was just taken away like that?

… …

Wilderness.

A golden magic circle appeared, and Wu Heng brought the Fifth Princess to the place where the 'Ghost Train' was parked.

The Fifth Princess hadn't reacted yet. Finding that the room had turned into a wilderness, her body shivered.

Wu Heng asked, "North, right?"

"Yes! The last piece of intelligence said they were on the north side outside the city," the Fifth Princess said.

Wu Heng took out the flying carpet, put her on it, and hurried towards the north of the city.

On the way, the ghost soul Bennie flew back and entered his body, sharing a scene.

Inside a stone house similar to a hunter's hut in the wilderness, there were four figures wearing black robes.

From Bennie's perspective, one was level 18, two were level 16, and one was level 15.

It was considered a luxurious lineup.

After watching, he released the ghost soul and asked aside, "Four people, all wearing black cloaks, are there any others?"

The Fifth Princess hugged his arm and said, "Four people escaped."

"Then that's them."

The numbers matched, and with the content they were discussing, it must be these people.

The flying carpet quickly approached the hunter's hut. After landing on the ground, he said, "You wait here."

After speaking, he walked towards the stone house.

Just as he approached, he heard a burst of hissing and cursing from the stone house, and then the level 18 black-robed man broke through the door and rushed out.

Zzz ~ Bang!

A lightning bolt shot out, and the figure that had just stepped out of the door flew back again.

Wu Heng followed and walked in. On the ground were three corpses whose necks had been twisted by the ghost soul. The level 18 black-robed man had a scorched patch on his chest and was vomiting blood.

The lightning bolt was released again, making the struggling figure completely honest.

The Mansion Art was released, revealing the huge space behind the stone door and the several skeletons left inside.

"Carry these corpses in."

The skeletons walked out, dragging the corpses into the Mansion Art.

"Turn their heads back, gently, don't twist them off."

The skeletons straightened the corpses' heads again.

After everything was ready, [Resurrection] was released, the corpses' chests rose and fell, and they began to vomit the blood accumulated in their chests.

With a thought, four cages formed in the space, imprisoning all four of them.

"You're not from here. What exactly do you want to do?"

"You are the Island Lord of Jin Yin Island. Are you the Island Lord of Jin Yin Island?"

"I can give you money. Let's discuss it nicely."

"I'll give you money too."

The four men shouted loudly, trying to communicate and get them released.

Wu Heng waved his hand, and the mouths of the four disappeared.

They could only remain in the cage, filled with fear and unease.

The Mansion spell was deactivated, and Wu Heng walked out of the stone house. The Fifth Princess immediately greeted him, "Lord Island Master."

"It's over, let's go back!"

He placed his hand on her shoulder, a magic circle appeared, and the two disappeared.

… …

Inside the dormitory.

Wu Heng and the Fifth Princess appeared, and the little maid said blankly, "Your… Your Highness, Lord Island Master, you're back!"

The Fifth Princess also looked at Wu Heng.

At that time, the black-robed men were knocked back, but they should all be dead, right!

Wu Heng said: "They're all dead, don't worry."

The master and servant both breathed a sigh of relief.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

"Thank you, Lord Island Master," the Fifth Princess said, and the maid followed suit with a bow.

The two sat down again on either side of the desk.

The tea that had been brewed earlier was still steaming.

Wu Heng said: "I'll arrange a high-level skeleton to protect you, which can also keep you safer."

The Fifth Princess wanted to decline modestly, but the words reached her lips and she didn't know what to say.

She really needed some protection. She couldn't always have the Island Master come and save her every time there was a problem.

This time, she waited for reinforcements from the association, but next time, she might not even have the chance to wait for reinforcements.

"Thank you, Lord," the Fifth Princess said.

The Mansion spell opened again, and Wu Heng said: "Kashu, come out."

Kashu, the level 18 Pugilist, walked out of the Mansion, standing honestly to the side.

"From now on, you are responsible for protecting the Fifth Princess, that's her," Wu Heng gestured to the Fifth Princess opposite.

Kashu's empty eye sockets looked at the opposite side, and he walked over directly, standing behind her.

"Island Master, isn't this your servant? To give him to me…," the Fifth Princess hesitated.

Kashu had always protected Wu Heng before.

Now he was giving him to her.

"Protect you first," Wu Heng said.

Seeing that he had arranged everything, the Fifth Princess nodded gratefully, "Yes, Lord Island Master."

Then, Wu Heng continued to take out two tickets, placed them on the table, and pushed them over, "These are two Oddity tickets. Tear them open when there is danger, and fill in 'Golden Silver Island' on the itinerary."

"Ghost Train?" The Fifth Princess reacted immediately upon seeing the tickets.

It seemed she had also heard of it. There were legends about the Ghost Train in the Yek Kingdom, so it was not surprising that she had heard of it.

"Yes, the Ghost Train. When you're on the train, remember to watch the time for meals and convenience, and don't tell anyone else. If the enemy knows you have the tickets, you might not even have the chance to use them," Wu Heng instructed.

"I know," the Fifth Princess nodded in agreement.

After putting away the tickets.

The Fifth Princess, like a municipal minister, introduced the development of the city during this period.

Wu Heng listened and said with a smile, "You've done a good job. You're very talented in this area."

The Fifth Princess's face was full of joy, and she said shyly: "It's all thanks to your support, Lord."

Wu Heng didn't say much more on this topic, "Where's Philippa?"

"Captain Philippa is at the port. I haven't informed her about what happened last night," the Fifth Princess said.

"If there is danger, you can also contact Philippa by radio and let her provide support."

"Okay."

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Heng got up and said: "I'll go back first. Contact me if anything happens."

"Thank you, Lord Island Master, for coming to save us," the Fifth Princess thanked.

Wu Heng nodded, put on his hood again, and left the room.

… …

Port, naval base.

At this time, most of the people here were skeletons, as well as some other sailors from the city.

Of course, the main combat power was still the modern ships and skeleton navy led by Philippa.

After a brief inquiry, he came to the outside of Philippa's room.

He knocked lightly on the door, and hearing the response inside, he opened the door and walked in.

Inside the room, Philippa was sitting in a chair, her legs in high-topped leather boots resting on the edge of the desk, holding a toy bought from the street, constantly fiddling with it.

The parrot on the desk was lying there sleeping.

"What are you doing?" Philippa glanced at him and asked casually.

Wu Heng took off his hood and said: "Captain Philippa, you're becoming more and more like a great captain."

Hearing the familiar voice, Philippa raised an eyebrow. Seeing that it was Wu Heng, she jumped up in surprise.

She ran and pounced, "Daddy!"

The sleeping parrot was startled and looked around in horror.

Wu Heng caught her and said: "Keep your voice down, the people outside will hear."

"Why did you come? I missed you so much," Philippa kissed him hard on the face.

"The Fifth Princess was assassinated last night, so I came to take a look."

"You're being biased, aren't you? Coming to see her," Philippa said angrily.

Wu Heng patted her butt, "Is everything okay here? I'll take you back to stay for a couple of days."

"Okay! I'll go explain things," Philippa got off him, opened the door and went out to explain the work.

She soon came back, "Let's go, the ship is ready."

"No need for a ship, it's too slow," he said, opening [Mansion]. "Take the parrot in with you. I'll let you out when we get there. Also, don't let those prisoners inside out."

"What race are they? Why don't they have mouths?" Philippa asked curiously.

"Humans, never mind them," Wu Heng said, closing [Mansion].

He used [Teleportation] to leave the city, boarded the Ghost Train, and returned to Golden Silver Island.

… …

After returning to Golden Silver Island, he went straight back to the Island Lord's Mansion.

Wu Heng opened [Mansion] and released Philippa.

"Uncle, why didn't you call me when you went out?" Xiao Xiao ran out from the living room.

Philippa pointed at Xiao Xiao, "What's this thing?"

"Philippa, that's not nice," Xiao Xiao said angrily.

"You know me?" Philippa was even more surprised.

Wu Heng said: "This is Xiao Xiao, my Soul Spirit, possessed in a magical item. Watch your language, don't be like a pirate."

Philippa smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao, I'm used to being a pirate, I apologize to you."

"It's okay!" Xiao Xiao said, then ran to Wu Heng and asked: "Uncle, why didn't you take me with you?"

"Just went out to do some errands. I saw you were out playing, so I didn't call you."

"Take me next time, important things are important," Xiao Xiao said with her hands on her hips.

"Xiao Xiao is great!" Wu Heng smiled and patted her head, pulling Xiao Xiao to walk inside together.

Philippa stood behind and looked at the backs of the two, and whispered to the parrot on her shoulder, "Aren't they going to come and snatch Daddy from me!"

"Idiot, Captain!"

… …

After dinner.

Philippa returned to the tavern to see her mother 'Milison'.

Wu Heng told Shanaila and the other maids about Philippa.

The others were also a little surprised at Wu Heng's combat speed now.

He went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

He also killed level 18 professionals, and most of the time was wasted on the road.

Heroes are really terrifying.

As night fell, they all returned to their rooms to rest.

… …

The next day, Zombie World.

Wu Heng took the Soul Spirit out of the Realm Gate and went directly to the zombie detention area.

Starting from cell 205, the 5 connected cells behind it all held level 19 Zombie Kings.

After this period of time, they should almost be level 20, right!

At that time, with so many level 20 skeletons around him, whether facing ordinary professionals or heroes, it would be a combat power not to be underestimated.

"Starting from 201, one person per room, put them in," Wu Heng opened [Mansion] and said to the inside.

The few people who were already seriously injured were dragged out by Shan Shan, stripped of their equipment, and thrown into the cell.

Wu Heng waved his hand, and the sealed mouths of several people reappeared.

"Your name is Wu Heng, I remember now. As long as you can let me go, any conditions can be offered."

"I can give you money, a lot and a lot of money."

"… …."

Amidst the noisy voices, Wu Heng had the skeleton close the iron door.

He said: "As before, let them heal for a day, and then directly carry out zombie cultivation."

The skeleton alchemist nodded.

After the task was assigned.

Wu Heng also returned to the cell, picked up the phone, and dialed Li Yahong's number.

"Li Yahong, how is the factory doing?"

Li Yahong said: "Those things you mentioned, the lighting factory is almost ready."

"Okay, I'll go over now."
