Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 959, Ballad

The Ghost Lady stared at him warily.

Wu Heng leaned back in his chair, stroking the armrests. "You're already a captive, what else can I do? Now that the island is safe and there are fewer tourists, I want to let you go out for some fresh air. If you don't want to, forget it."

"Hmph!" The queen narrowed her fox eyes, "The Holy See is attacking? It's time for you to show some kindness..."

The news she received was still about the Vatican's intention to attack Treasure Island.

Wu Heng suddenly wanted to let her out for some fresh air, which made her very suspicious whether the Vatican's army was on the way.

This made the boy kind-hearted and let me see the territory he built before running away.

"Aunt!" Xiao Xiao, who was eavesdropping, came over immediately. "You look like the suspicious villain in those costume dramas!"

"That's the kind." He pinched his own neck and imitated the tone, "I don't believe it! This must be a trap set by the bad guys."

The "little brat" queen rolled her eyes at her.

Although I didn't quite understand some of it, I knew it wasn't a good thing.

Benny also floated over and said, "Don't worry, the Vatican's fleet has sunk in the Emerald Sea, and the two heroes have been driven away."

"Just relying on him as a hero who was promoted just a few months ago?" The Queen sneered.

Xiao Xiao pinched her waist and said, "Don't look down on me. We killed a pope, and the religious leader could only turn into a ghost and escape. He is much more powerful than you."

The queen looked at Wu Heng suspiciously.

The latter said: "There is no need to lie to you. The matter of the Holy See has been resolved. There will be basically no problems for a long time to come."

Xiaoxiao added, "We also killed the previous pope."

After saying that, he straightened his chest.

The queen's queen frowned and stood there for a long time without making any move.

She had imagined countless possibilities, Wu Heng's hasty escape, the Vatican's bloodbath on Treasure Island, and even her own escape during the chaos...but she had never expected this outcome.

Moreover, the previous Pope was also killed by Wu Heng?
How come she didn't get the news?

If she had this information, she would definitely not just use the priestess to frame him.

Wu Heng continued, "I'm worried that you'll be bored. If you don't want to go out, forget it. You can just watch a movie at home."

The queen's tone choked, she turned her head away, and asked angrily, "What are the conditions?"

After all, I still want to go out and see the world.

No one wants to be locked up in the Magic Soul Pot all day long, and these three ghosts chat every day and talk a lot about things outside.

It made her want to go out and take a look even more.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "First, follow Granda. Second, don't hurt anyone."

"That's all?" The queen was even more suspicious. "Besides these, don't you want to exchange anything else?"

"I don't have any requirements, just don't cause trouble." Wu Heng continued.

As he was speaking, a light suddenly appeared in the distance outside the window. All the street lights in Treasure Island were lit up.

"Can we go out now?" the queen suddenly asked.

Wu Heng glanced at Glenda, "How much more is left?"

"I'm done." Glenda flew over and handed him the finished content. "Do you see if there's anything that needs to be changed?"

Granda wrote that the contents of the newspaper would be published tomorrow.

Granda does not need to be responsible for other news, but matters related to Wu Heng and publicity need to be written by Granda himself.

"That's great. Take the queen out for a walk and don't come back too late. If she leaves the Magic Soul Pot for too long, she will easily dissipate." Wu Heng said.

"Okay, I'll take you to the tavern on the island first, and then go directly to the entertainment city." Granda said.

The queen nodded.

Xiaoxiao raised her hand, "I want to go, too."

Wu Heng nodded, "Go ahead and take care of the Empress."

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao said, and left through the wall.

The queen took a look over here and flew outside as well, followed by Glenda and Benny.

All the ghosts in the house, leave.

……

The sound of women talking could be heard in the corridor.

Wu Heng opened the door and walked out, and saw a few people who had finished watching the movie and were walking out while chatting.

Seeing him come out, Xi Lagui walked over quickly and said, "It's getting dark. Shi Yali and I will go back first."

Wu Heng pulled her hand up, and Xilagui subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but it was held even tighter.

"Don't go back." Wu Heng whispered, "Just stay here."

Xi Lagui's pointed ears instantly turned red. She quickly glanced at the other people not far away and lowered her voice: "It's so embarrassing to be seen by others, and Shi Yali and I stayed to accompany you."

"You dislike me!" Wu Heng said unhappily.

"No! I'm a deacon, and you're a hero of the association. If this kind of thing gets out, it will have a bad impact on you..." Xi Lagui looked behind her again, "How about you go back with us? Shi Yali is going crazy missing you."

Wu Heng found her cautious look a little funny and said, "I'll come to see you in a couple of days."

Xi Lagui nodded, "Okay, don't forget it."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to where Shannara and the others were, pretending nothing had happened.

Wu Heng and the maids escorted the two sisters to the gate of the island owner's mansion.

Watching the carriage gradually disappear.

The door closed again and several people began to prepare to rest.

……

bedroom.

Wu Heng lay on the bed and waited for a while, then Shannella pushed the door and walked in.

There were still drops of water dripping from the ends of her hair, leaving dark marks on her silk nightgown. She lifted the quilt and lay down, with the scent of flowers after bathing on her body.

Wu Heng put his arms around her waist from behind, with his palms resting on her flat belly.

Shannella patted the back of his hand gently, and said in a voice full of rebuke: "I was so worried that I didn't sleep a wink last night. Don't make trouble today!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Heng turned her around, stroked her cheek with his fingertips, and lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.

Shannara wanted to rest, but soon melted into the kiss and responded softly and gently.

When they separated, her breathing was a little disordered, "What's so hard about me?"

Wu Heng's hand slid under the hem of her nightgown, his palm pressed against the curve of her waist: "With you here, I dare to give it a try."

Shannella suddenly turned over and pressed him down, her long hair falling like a waterfall. "The conflict between you and the Holy See has become stagnant. I want to move the commercial district to the city of Neitale to reduce the impact of the conflict with the Holy See."

Wu Heng supported her waist and said, "Wait a little longer. The eldest prince of the Yeke Kingdom is also cooperating with the Holy See to send troops. Let's see the situation after a while and make plans."

"The Yeko Kingdom has sent troops?" Shannara frowned.

"It's okay. We have defeated the Holy See. The rest are just small matters." Wu Heng said as he turned over and covered her in shadow.

The words disappeared between the entangled breaths.

……

The next day, at the Golden Sail Tavern.

"That religious leader, Saidu, laughed wildly! Wu Heng! Don't you claim to be righteous? Don't you want to protect this island?"

"Today, I will let you watch this island disappear before your own eyes, and the people on the island will die because of you."

On the stage, the bard's voice suddenly rose, imitating the religious leader's ferocious expression.

Curses broke out from the audience.

This religious leader doesn't really look like a leader at all.

Unable to defeat the Lord of Wuheng Island, he actually wanted to take revenge by taking the lives of ordinary professionals on the island.

What's the difference between them and those gang robbers?
The poet let the angry curses ring out, and the tone suddenly changed, becoming rapid and high-pitched, "At this moment! The sky can be heard the roar of the flapping of bone wings! The island master's skeleton servant flapped his wings and flew over, taking the island master to chase after him."

"Saidu's face changed, and he turned and ran away, like a drowned dog being chased by a siren!"

"But how could the island master let him go? He chased him all the way, using the waves as his sword and the strong wind as his blade. Before the other party escaped to the association's fleet, the island master chopped his body into pieces, and he turned into a ghost and was protected by the people of the association."

He sighed softly, "Ah~! It's a pity that he was one step short, otherwise the island owner would be the first one to fight against two heroes alone."

There were noisy discussions among the crowd, and the pub was in a state of chaos.

Then the bard took up his harp and began to hum along with the melodious tune.

"Look! The white cross hides the morning sun, and the hymns contain the sound of iron hooves!
They say 'heretics should be buried in the waves',
But he used torches to set fire to the fisherman's granary!"

"The judge's sword is stained with children's tears,

The cardinal lies while counting gold coins!

They said, 'This is the will of the gods!'

But the waves are spitting on this dirty scepter!"

"There was a thunderous tremor from Treasure Island,
The reef bursts with emerald light!
He descended on the waves like a ring of stars,

The golden disc in the left hand and the scepter of life in the right hand."

"He said 'My island does not bow to false gods', he said 'My people are my heart'!"

……

The melodious singing spread out of the tavern, and the passing fishermen and children hummed along.

Although I have always known that the Island Master of Wuheng is a very talented genius, I never expected that he would face the entire Vatican’s army and two heroes alone.

Moreover, after killing a Pope, another religious leader was also killed in the flesh, and only his soul was barely saved by the association's team.

hiss~!

The island owner is so awesome.

In the corner of the tavern, several outsiders dressed as businessmen looked pale.

One of them was a tall and thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The wine glass in his hand had already tilted, and the amber wine soaked his expensive robe.

"Didn't they say... the association mediated?" His throat tightened and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

The companion beside him tightly grasped today's "Treasure Island Express", and the front-page headline read: [Holy War Failed! The Vatican's Fleet Sinks into the Emerald Sea, and the Religious Leader's Body is Destroyed! ]

The accompanying picture shows the wreckage of a burning warship in the distant sea, with black smoke swirling in the sky like a giant python.

"Sanara, this..." The businessman cursed through his teeth, "Yesterday you said the situation was under control..."

"No, we can't stay on the island, let's leave quickly." Someone stood up suddenly.

Several people jumped up as if awakened from a dream, knocked over tables and chairs and left the tavern.

On the street, the salty and humid sea breeze suddenly became biting.

"Quick! To the dock!"

"Where are the boats now?"

"Rent! Buy! Rob it! Whatever you want!"

Several people rushed to the port, stumbling towards the ticket office, grabbing the last few newspapers from the newsman's basket on the roadside.

When it is brought back, the content will be enough to shock everyone.

……

Association, Deacon's Study.

Shi Yali rushed in and handed the newspaper to Xi Lagui. "Now the whole street is singing this. The Vatican is now notorious."

Xilagui put down her pen and glanced at the catchy lyrics. "It spread all over the island in one morning?"

"It's quite simple. Now the children can hum a few lines." Shi Yali leaned against the bookcase and picked up a grape from the fruit plate and put it into her mouth.

Xilagui took it and looked at the contents, raising her eyebrows.

There was also a banquet last night.

The ballads are out?

This speed is really fast.

"It's too radical. The Vatican will not let it go."

The Holy See’s previous image was relatively strong.

Unlike the strong association, they are paranoid about fame and belief and will not allow such news to spread outside.

There was still a superficial peace between Treasure Island and the Holy See, and the death of the previous Pope was not announced to the public.

This time, it was directly printed and distributed as a newspaper, and this newspaper would be sent to all parts of the Emerald Sea, including the headquarters.

By then, everyone will know about this matter of the Holy See, and I'm afraid it will be a fight to the death.

Shi Yali spat out the grape seeds, which fell accurately into the trash can: "What are you afraid of? Wu Heng dared to publish it in the newspaper, which means he is sure."

Xilagui felt that it made sense, nodded, and then asked, "How is Elinor doing?"

Elinor was the name of the local bannerman, who had been imprisoned by Andvielle.

Shi Yali said: "He was released in the morning and has been in the study since then."

"He will be transferred back in a few days, so there's no need to worry about him." Xilagui continued, "Wu Heng still gave the elf some face and just let him transfer away."

"That's also to give face to the two leaders of the two headquarters." Shi Yali added.

Xi Lagui said 'hmm' and then said, "Go check on him and make sure nothing unexpected happens."

"it is good!"

……

The flag bearer's study.

The sunlight shines through the gauze curtains, casting a pale shadow on the table.

Elinor stared blankly at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes full of disbelief.

Wu Heng won!

Moreover, one man defeated two heroes.

As a level 19 elven swordsman, he understands the gap between heroes and ordinary professionals better than any other professionals.

It's not just a difference in attributes, but also a crushing difference in life levels.

But Wu Heng, a young man who had been promoted to a hero only a few months ago, actually fought one against two and even killed one of them!
The calmness in the dungeon before was because he believed that Wu Heng would not win.

But now it’s different, Wu Heng is back, and he can’t escape.

He even dares to kill heroes, let alone himself.

Cold sweat slid down my temple.

As long as I borrow some props, I can find out the truth. I will definitely not survive.

Dong Dong~!

The knock on the door sounded like a death knell.

Elinor stood up suddenly, and the chair scraped against the ground with a harsh sound.

"It's finally here!" Elinor laughed bitterly and drew out his sword.

The blade was pressed against his neck, reflecting the throbbing blood vessels.

At least dying now would be more dignified.

"Lord Elinor." Shi Yali's voice sounded, "The deacon wants to discuss the transfer order with you."

transfer order?

Bang~!

The sword hit the carpet, and Elinor's eyes were dull.

This is letting yourself go...

Not going to kill myself.

"I understand. I'll be there right away." Elinor responded hoarsely and took a potion to heal his wounds.

Outside the door, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Elinor sat on the chair, waited for her wound to heal, changed her clothes, opened the door and walked out.

……

Island owner's mansion.

Wu Heng lay on the recliner, frowning slightly as he looked at his phone.

I couldn’t get through to Lilith on the phone, and she didn’t get a reply to the message I sent her.

This gave him a bad feeling.

"No way!"

"If you can't beat him, can't you run away?"
