Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1027, Elders' Council Conditions
The young official's body shrank back little by little amidst the rebukes filling the room.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to argue further, but in the end he lowered his head, his eyes behind his glasses showing some hesitation.

Wu Heng looked at the other person, who had a Middle Eastern face, a thin build, wore glasses, and had a scholarly air that hadn't been worn away by the apocalypse.

Dong Dong~!

Wu Heng slammed his fist on the table twice. "Enough! If this is a request for opinions, then let people finish speaking."

The room fell silent instantly, but a palpable sense of hostility still lingered in the air.

The officer on the left, the radical with graying temples, clenched his fist tightly. "Chief, this matter cannot be compromised!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Once the Lingqi Cult infiltrates, the Yama Palace and the Dawn Alliance will be like termites, gnawing away at the foundation of our faith! At that time, the base will only be more difficult to manage."

“That’s right!” another person slammed his hand on the table and stood up. “We went through so much trouble to build this fortress on top of piles of corpses, why should they reap the rewards? The arms deal for Noah’s City has been finalized. As long as the equipment arrives, we can take back the military base!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Heng raised an eyebrow slightly.

It turned out to be the case.

While at the South Korean base, I told the representatives of 'Mawa Eternal Fortress' that they disagreed with the missionary work of the Spirit Revelation Church, and then they cut off the supply of materials.

The other party remained unmoved at the time, apparently because they had already signed an order with Noah's City.

It looks like things are about to get chaotic again.

Wu Heng tapped the cone again and said, "Since there is such a big difference of opinion, let's vote by raising hands! ...Those who resolutely oppose the spread of faith by the Lingqi Sect, raise your hands."

Wow~!

More than thirty hands were raised in unison, their faces resolute, while a few others raised their hands and then lowered them, appearing hesitant.

The officer on the left looked around and scoffed, "Does this even need a vote? Those with wavering faith will ultimately be punished by God."

“Indeed!” Wu Heng nodded slowly, looking at everyone, and snapped his fingers lightly.

A clear voice sounded.

next second!
The water glasses in front of everyone who raised their hands suddenly churned, and the silvery-white water droplets transformed into deadly blades, piercing precisely between each person's eyebrows.

Puff puff puff~!

After a series of muffled thuds, more than thirty corpses collapsed to the ground, their blood staining the carpet.

The remaining people jumped to their feet, their chairs scraping loudly on the floor.

Their faces were filled with terror and disbelief, their eyes darting back and forth between the corpses scattered on the ground and Wu Heng.

"Chief...leader?" someone asked, their voice trembling and choked with sobs.

The stench of blood permeated the enclosed space, mingling with the sweltering air.

The remaining survivors' legs trembled uncontrollably, and some even had to hold onto tables to stay upright.

“The base will establish closer ties with the Dawn Alliance.” Wu Heng looked around at the remaining people. “The old rules all need to be changed.”

The surviving officials' pupils trembled.

Now I understand why those who raised their hands were killed.

The base needs to align itself more closely with the Dawn Alliance; those who just raised their hands are stumbling blocks to development.

“You will take their places, enjoying better treatment and greater power! ... Now choose.” Wu Heng leaned forward, his voice serious. “Will you pledge allegiance to me, or rot with them?”

Dead silence.

There was dead silence in the conference room.

After a while, the young official wearing glasses was the first to move.

He pushed back the chair, knelt on one knee, and said, "I wish to take you as my only faith..."

When the first person spoke, the others seemed to awaken from a dream, rising to their feet, bowing, and swearing allegiance in unison.

Wu Heng nodded in satisfaction and looked at the bespectacled official, "What's your name again?"

“Zakari is currently the Logistics Coordinator, responsible for the allocation and recording of resources within the city,” the young official replied.

“Sit here!” Wu Heng pointed to the left.

Zachary did not hesitate. He dragged the body aside, unconcerned about the bloodstains on his suit pants, and calmly sat down.

“The base needs new ideas,” Wu Heng suddenly said, then looked at everyone. “I need you to take over important positions in the base and ensure there is no chaos.”

Next, based on the information found in the study, he assigned the army, city defenses, and several important departments to the people below.

Wu Heng looked around at everyone. "Does anyone else have any objections?"

"No, Chief!" the surviving officials answered in unison.

"Take your seats according to your official rank," Wu Heng said.

The room was bustling with activity.

The bodies were dragged to a corner and piled up like a heap of discarded dolls.

All the windows were open, and the night breeze diluted the stench of blood in the air.

The once crowded conference room now only has a dozen or so people scattered in the front row.

Some people kept wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, while others gripped their pens tightly until their knuckles turned white.

“The deputy leader of the Yama Palace will arrive tomorrow.” Wu Heng’s voice brought everyone back to reality. “Zakari, you will assist in the work as the base’s general manager.”

Zachary looked confused. "Then you...?"

“I will accompany you on the arrangements, but I will be stationed permanently at the Dawn Alliance afterward,” Wu Heng said calmly.

But it also made one thing clear to everyone: they had not only joined the Dawn Alliance, but had become an affiliated base of the Underworld.

The rest of the work is much simpler.

Everyone discussed the military takeover, the allocation of supplies, and the control of public opinion.

They discussed each item in great detail, and Wu Heng noted down some potentially dangerous names mentioned, promising to have them removed immediately.

After everything was arranged, Wu Heng said, "Let the soldiers guarding outside come in."

The moment the door opened and the captain of the guard stepped into the room, his pupils contracted sharply. The floor was covered in blood, and piles of corpses lay everywhere.

He immediately placed his hand on the holster, but seeing that the leader, played by Wu Heng, was still sitting in the same spot, he slowly released his hand.

“These people were executed for treason,” Wu Heng continued. “People were arranged to follow the new officials and take over the defense.”

Then, he solemnly added, "Remember... what I want is a smooth transition, not chaos."

His hand instinctively went to the holster, but slowly released it the moment he met Wu Heng's gaze.

The captain of the personal guard's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally saluted heavily: "Yes, sir!"

The officials left.

Squads of soldiers silently moved through the streets, following the newly appointed officials to take over key locations.

On the city wall, the sentries still stood straight, but the captain and the person in charge had been replaced.

……

Inside the office.

Wu Heng picked up the satellite phone and dialed Qi Hancai's number.

After two busy signals, Qi Hancai's efficient voice came through, "Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

There wasn't much tension in his tone.

After all, this wasn't the first time they'd gone to the enemy's base like this.

"The leaders and core members here have been dealt with." Wu Heng held the phone between his shoulder and shoulder, looking at the base's defense map in his hand. "A local named Zakari has been temporarily promoted."

Then, Wu Heng gave a concise account of the entire process.

After listening to her explanation, Qi Hancai slowly asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Get ready to come over. We need you to take over here. I'm currently impersonating the other side's leader, and I'll leave under the pretext of going to the Dawn Alliance to report on my duties."

"I'll assemble the translation team and set up the administrative staff right now," Qi Hancai said quickly. "The flight will take eight hours. I'm ready, and we'll depart immediately."

"Send me a message when you're almost there, and I'll have someone pick you up."

"Ok!"

After they finished speaking, they hung up the phone.

After waiting in the study for a while, Granda flew back first.
Granda said, "The military takeover went smoothly, except that I couldn't understand what they were saying, but it looked like the handover and appointments were completed."

Then, the other ghosts returned one after another, reporting on the takeover of important locations such as the city wall outposts and armories.

So far, everything is going smoothly.

As dawn broke, the silent shelter gradually awoke. *Knock knock*.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Zachary pushed open the door and entered, his well-tailored dark blue uniform replacing yesterday's old clothes. He stood ramrod straight as he came in and subconsciously smoothed the hem of his clothes. "Chief, everything has been arranged according to your requirements."

As he spoke, a list was handed over with both hands. "The handover of important departments has been completed, and all commanders of the mobile forces have been replaced by members of the New Party. This is the list."

Wu Heng took it and glanced at it, then looked up at the clock on the wall. "The deputy leader of the Yama Palace is almost here. You will personally lead the team to bring him over."

"Yes! Then I'll go pick them up first." Zachary bowed again, turned and left.

……

1: p.m.

A convoy of armored vehicles, resembling steel behemoths, rolled across the base's main road.

The emaciated survivors huddled in a street corner, their cloudy eyes watching the dust kicked up by the convoy.

They huddled together, whispering about the flags hanging on the armored vehicles.

Even if you've never seen it before, you can still recognize it as the banner of the Yama Palace.

The world's largest refuge, the base where humanity's recognized leader resides, has actually come here.

The survivors' eyes were filled with surprise.

The convoy drove straight into the inner fortress.

Inside the study, sunlight streamed through the glass, casting a shadow on the floor.

Qi Hancai, dressed in combat gear and military boots, entered the room with a white owl on her shoulder and a two-meter-tall skeleton guard behind her.

However, the guards were completely covered up, making it difficult to discern anything.

The door closed, and Qi Hancai's gaze was fixed on the 'leader' sitting behind the desk.

"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?" Wu Heng asked, taking off his mask.

Qi Hancai smiled and said, "Since you're not saying anything, I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing and ruin your plans."

Wu Heng pushed a stack of documents across the table. "These are newly promoted officials. After you take over, this will be our first branch base in the north."

Qi Hancai took it and glanced at it. "Won't there be any problems?"

"It's alright, we can just kill another batch later," Wu Heng said casually.

Dong Dong~!

There was a knock on the door.

Wu Heng put on a mask, and Zachary walked in, followed by a translator.

“All departments are ready,” Zachary said.

"Let's go, let's go take a look together." Wu Heng stood up and led Qi Hancai's Yama Palace core members, as well as Zakari and others, out of the office building.

Afternoon time.

Wu Heng, along with Qi Hancai and his entourage, met with all the local officials and introduced the news of their cooperation with the Yama Palace.

Externally, both sides signed a joint development agreement, rather than the area being completely occupied by the Yama Palace.

As darkness fell.

Wu Heng and Qi Hancai returned to their office.

“I still need to play the role of the leader. You and the others have been arranged to stay here for now,” Wu Heng said.

Qi Hancai nodded, "I have experience with the rest."

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Get some rest. The environment here isn't as good as over there. Hang in there, and you can go back once everything is arranged."

"Okay!" Qi Hancai replied.

After the matter was over, Qi Hancai led her people to the prepared accommodations.

Wu Heng also arranged for guards, and then, inside the bedroom, he opened the boundary gate and led the ghost inside.

……

Come down from upstairs.

Due to the time difference, it's early morning on Treasure Island.

Xiao Xiao and Benny ran downstairs. The Empress was preparing materials for drawing the Bone Forging Technique, while Granda was upstairs compiling the Chinese version of the "Spiritual Revelation Holy Scripture".

Wu Heng went downstairs and walked to the room next door.

I pushed open the door and looked inside.

Hilary sat gracefully on a red silk couch, her long golden hair cascading down, making her skin appear even whiter.

Completely naked, the skeleton runemaster was slowly drawing intricate patterns along her spine.

Hearing the noise, Hilary suddenly hugged her chest, but the movement was so big that a full curve of her breasts was revealed between her arms.

"Close the door and get out!" Hilary's ears turned red as she glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed.

Wu Heng closed the door. "Did it work?"

“You…” Hilary was speechless with anger, her jewel-like eyes darting around, “Who let you in?”

Wu Heng walked over and suddenly leaned down to kiss her lips.

"You're all mine now, and you're not even allowed to look?" Wu Heng's fingers caressed her reddened earlobe.

"Hmph!" Hilary turned her face away, her tongue quickly wiping away the remaining water from her lips. "I'm drawing runes, don't mess around..."

"I'll keep an eye on things for you." Wu Heng simply sat down on the edge of the couch, watching the skeleton draw runes on her body as if admiring a work of art.

The bright red runes, like vines, wrapped around the snow-white shoulders and neck, blooming into a bewitching curse pattern in the hollow of the collarbone.

"Alright! You can go out now. I'll come find you tonight," Hilary said irritably.

"Not tonight. I'll come and keep you company after I finish my business."

"It sounds like I'm the one looking for you," Hilary said, glancing at him sideways.

Wu Heng smiled, "It's all the same."

As they were chatting, their phones rang; it was Minnie calling.

After the call connected, the voice on the other end said, "Master, the Empress is here with talisman ink to see you!"

"I'm going out now." Wu Heng stood up and kissed Xilagui on the lips. "I'll go out first."

"Ok!"

Leave the room.

The Empress has prepared everything.

Wu Heng removed his outer garment, and the goddess drew runes on him.

……

The midday sun streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the floor in a golden light.

Wu Heng finished his 'Fierce Qi Bone Forging' training, and his body was still surrounded by lingering heat.

After dusting off the dust, I sat on the sofa and listened to Philippa and Robbie enthusiastically recounting the interesting things that happened at the morning market, while Minnie chimed in from time to time.

Just then, the door opened, and the wood elf Sanera walked in.

After feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner and exhaling, I sat down opposite Wu Heng.

“The elders have sent word.” Sanera paused deliberately, then looked at him. “Guess what the result was?”

Wu Heng looked up and observed her expression.

With raised eyebrows and a hint of smugness in their eyes, it goes without saying that the result was quite good.

“I guess the elders will agree to our request because of you,” Wu Heng replied cooperatively.

Sanella smiled. "She did agree."

Leaning slightly forward, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, she said, "However... there are two conditions."

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow and put down his teacup. "What are the conditions?"

Sanera said slowly and deliberately, "The Wood Elves require... that the first Wood Elf hero you train stay in the Wood Elf territory, and then you can freely command the second hero."

The second condition is that Treasure Island must completely merge with the Wood Elf race.
