Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 978, Curse of the Three Crowns

Providing the radio station to the headquarters was originally intended to monitor intelligence from various forces.

If we send it to our headquarters proactively, they will definitely be alert.

But! If it was Tolilis from the headquarters who came to ask for the radio station, then it would be another matter.

In addition to the radio stations provided to the headquarters, additional radio stations were provided to the remaining races.

It seems that the progress is going smoothly.

The people in this world had no idea about modern equipment and didn't notice anything wrong.

As long as they rely on the radio to transmit information, I can get first-hand intelligence, which is much more convenient than asking the secret talker.

"Have you heard any news?" Wu Heng asked into the phone.

"It's all test communications at the moment," Minnie continued, "but we've locked onto the frequency band used by the Vatican, but they only conducted one test and then there was no movement."

"It's okay. As long as they take it, they will use it sooner or later." Wu Heng said confidently.

Minnie smiled, "Master is right."

"That's it for now. Call me if you have any problem." Wu Heng continued.

"Okay, you should be careful too." Minnie replied obediently.

hang up the phone.

Xiao Xiao flew over and said in a surprised tone, "Oh~! I was wondering why uncle was so kind to give them the radio, turns out he wanted to eavesdrop."

"What do you mean by eavesdropping?" Wu Heng put away his phone and emphasized, "That's a public channel, just like on the street. You can't let people hear you talking."

"Uncle is really good at finding excuses." Xiaoxiao muttered.

There was some doubt in the queen's eyes.

She knew the function of the telephone, but she didn't know much about the radio.

It seemed that after sending it out, he could hear the intelligence of the headquarters and the Holy See. After thinking for a while, he approached 'Xiao Xiao' and asked, "Xiao Xiao, how did you eavesdrop?"

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, then explained, "Aunt, do you know the game of the telephone? It's a string that talks, and the other end can hear it."

"Well, what next?" the queen continued to ask.

"It's just like a megaphone, except that there's not just one megaphone connected to this rope, but several. When one person speaks, all the megaphones can hear it." Xiao Xiao said softly, and then looked over, "Right, uncle!"

Wu Heng was stunned and looked at Xiao Xiao with some surprise.

The explanation is really clear and easy to understand.

"Yes!" Wu Heng gave her a thumbs up.

The queen also nodded, "I see, you are quite brave, monitoring so many people."

I have to sigh that this kid has many tricks and is very brave.

Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid he's the only one who would dare to come up with such a thing to eavesdrop on the headquarters and the Vatican.

If it were someone else, even if they had this kind of rare machine, they might not have the courage to make it for our department.

Once the truth is leaked, we will become the enemy of the world.

"You are really brave." The queen sighed.

"There's nothing I can do. I'm also afraid that the Vatican is behind this and is trying to harm us." Wu Heng said helplessly.

Dong Dong~!

As they were talking, there was a soft knock on the door.

Then the voice of the maid in the City Lord's Mansion came, "Master, Princess Natalia is here and is waiting for you on the first floor."

"I'll go down now." Wu Heng said to the door.

Glenda also said, "I'll go with you!"

"Okay!" Wu Heng opened the door and walked out, and Granda hid his figure and followed beside him.

She left the room, stretched out her transparent little hands, and teased the baby in the arms of the skeleton witch.

Then he turned to look at the empress and said, "Aunt! Shall we go play in your dreamland? Take little Wuqin with you."

The queen looked at the excited Xiao Xiao, nodded and said, "Okay! It can't take too long."

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao agreed.

The queen waved her hand casually, and the room spread out like ripples, and the surroundings changed rapidly.

……

Lobby.

Princess 'Natalia' was wearing a neutral hunting suit, leather pants and high boots, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Turning around, he saw Wu Heng coming down, put down his teacup, stood up and saluted, "Master Chief!"

"Please take a seat!" Wu Heng sat down on the main seat and asked with a smile, "Are you getting used to living here?"

The last time they met, Natalia was planning to return to her family.

But for some reasons, I ended up staying.

She also agreed with Wu Heng that if she wanted to leave one day, Wu Heng could not stop her.

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern." Natalia replied with a smile.

Life here is really good.

Except for the time when she pretended to be the second prince, she was free the rest of the time.

Whether it's going out or doing something that interests you.

The maid brought tea to Wu Heng, then bowed and left, leaving the place to the two of them.

Wu Heng said directly: "I asked you to come here this time, first, to see how you have been doing recently, and second, to ask you about some things about the Yeke Kingdom."

When Natalia heard the word Yeko Kingdom, her eyes narrowed.

He asked, "What do you want to know? I will answer you truthfully if I know anything."

Wu Heng nodded, took a sip from the teacup, and asked calmly, "First, tell me about the officials with real power in the kingdom, or some important departments or institutions."

Natalia was not surprised to be asked about this suddenly.

In other words, there were frequent assassinations in Rentam City, and Wu Heng's daughter was here again.

Sooner or later, they will take action against the royal family of the Yeko Kingdom.

Natalia thought briefly and said, "The first thing you need to pay attention to is the Imperial Council. There are many officials in it, and they rotate frequently. You only need to remember three people: Finance Minister Altus, Military Commander Leona, and Chief Mage Vidian."

"The three of them represent the decision-making power of the entire parliament, and the rest of the ministers are at best vassals."

Natalia paused for a moment and continued, "There is also a Shadow Council under the Grand Prince. I heard that it was an organization he formed before he came to power, imitating the Imperial Council. It is responsible for intelligence, assassinations, and some advisory duties."

Wu Heng listened carefully and talked about some important people within the Yeke Kingdom.

After listening to what the other party said, he looked up at himself and continued to ask: "What level are these officials you mentioned?"

"It should be around level 18! The kingdom also attaches great importance to rank. The rank is very important in the appointment of important officials." Natalia answered. Wu Heng pondered for a moment and then said, "I want to end the war between Yeko Kingdom and Rentam City. I want to kill the eldest prince and the people you mentioned and occupy the royal city. Do you think it is feasible?"

Natalia was stunned, and after thinking seriously for a while, she said, "That depends on how you plan to end the war."

"What do you mean?" Wu Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Natalia said, "The closer you are to the royal city, the more dependent the people are on the kingdom. There are also believers of the church. If you want to resolve it quickly, don't consider the attitude of the people. Killing these people is the fastest way, but it will be more troublesome later. There is a high possibility that resistance armies will appear everywhere."

In other words, most people in the Yeko Kingdom still love this country.

If I kill the eldest prince directly as an outsider, I will be regarded as an invader and the destruction of the kingdom will be blamed on me.

But this matter is not difficult to solve.

Since he was supporting the fifth princess and the fake second prince, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get the throne legitimately.

But he still asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

Natalia said calmly, "My Lord, you have already made the arrangements! Once the Second Prince and the Fifth Princess sit on the throne, the problem will be solved easily."

Wu Heng nodded, thinking about the follow-up arrangements of this matter in his mind.

He raised his head again and asked, "Is there still no news outside about how the old king died?"

"I don't have any specific information, but if you want to hear it, I do know some secrets of the kingdom." Natalia raised her head with a hint of boasting in her eyes.

"tell me the story."

Natalia said, "In the early days of the kingdom, the orcs in the north were at war for many years. The worst time they even approached the royal city. At that time, there was a humanoid race on both sides. Some people speculated that they were the current rabbit people or fox people."

"At that time, the leader of the humanoid race came forward to mediate the war between the two sides and determine the territory of the race."

"When the three leaders met, the human race set up an ambush and killed the orc and humanoid leaders who came to negotiate peace, and drove the orcs to the northernmost forest in one fell swoop."

"After the war, the king smelted his crown and the crowns of the other two clans into a new crown. When the king was being crowned, he suddenly became insane and said, 'Blood and conspiracy can bear this crown.' Afterwards, he completely forgot about it."

"People call this event the 'Three Crowns Curse'. The death of the old king has reminded some people of this event and they believe that the curse has befallen this generation."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there was such a story in the Yeke Kingdom.

Of course, many legends are not true, and after they spread outside, they have changed into several versions.

Judging from the characteristics of professionals, the first-generation king was able to kill the other two leaders, so the opponent’s levels should not be high either.

Normally speaking, if you can't defeat him when he's alive, it will be even more difficult when he's dead.

"It sounds interesting." Wu Heng said, and then continued, "Later, I may need your cooperation. I will ensure your safety."

"Yes, sir." Natalia nodded seriously.

For the rest of the time, Wu Heng did not continue to ask about the Yeke Kingdom.

Chatting casually about some interesting things in the city.

……

Yeko Kingdom, the Council Hall.

A bronze chandelier hung with shining stones.

The eldest prince's fingertips unconsciously stroked the armrests of the throne, his head half lowered, and he glanced down from time to time.

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Finance suddenly stood up and said, "The three cities in the north have run out of food, transportation is difficult, and there is a shortage of food and grass..."

Then, a general also stood up and said in a deep and powerful voice, "It is freezing cold now, and it is very difficult to march and fight. However, the enemy's skeleton army is not affected at all. Continuing the battle will only increase casualties."

At the beginning, the Yeko Kingdom launched a war mainly because the Holy See launched a holy war against Treasure Island, and everyone believed that Wu Heng would die at the hands of the Holy See.

By then, those undead soldiers will naturally be defeated, and the army can attack the city of Rentam unimpeded.

But things did not develop as they expected, in fact, they developed in the opposite direction, and Wu Heng won the final victory.

Even though the Vatican did not admit it, newspapers sent from the south still reported that the Pope had been killed and the religious leader's body had been destroyed.

When they saw the contents in the newspaper, the high-ranking officials of the Yeko Kingdom, even the eldest prince, were terrified.

I was nervous about meetings all day long and couldn't sleep well at night.

They were afraid that one day the other party would come and chop off all of their heads.

Even some elderly ministers were so ill that they could not get up and wrote their wills.

If the Vatican had not arranged an archbishop to supervise the war, the war would have been so intense that it would have been difficult to separate them, and they would have withdrawn their troops and sought peace long ago.

Boom~!

The Archbishop of the Holy See slammed his staff heavily on the ground, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the marble floor. He said solemnly: "The Pope has decreed that the Kingdom of Yeko continue to fight. We have made promises to each other, so how can we give up halfway?"

At the back, a figure in a black robe stepped forward and said, "My Lord Archbishop, if we forcefully attack now, the additional wounded will only increase the strength of the Skeletons. This is not a rational decision. Moreover, Wu Heng's heroes... pose too great a threat to ordinary people like us. If there is no substantial way to contain the enemy, I think a short adjustment is necessary."

The eldest prince's side consists of two groups.

The ministers of the kingdom and the many sects that were recruited were now unified under their command and became important members of the Shadow Council.

The archbishop raised his eyes slightly and said with disdain, "If Wu Heng stays on Treasure Island, someone will be watching him, and the surrounding churches have also arranged for reinforcements to come here, and it won't take long for them to arrive here."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

The Holy See is using the Yeko Kingdom as a thug and is determined to take revenge on Wu Heng.

Behind the group, a woman in a green sorcerer robe spoke softly, "Your Excellency the Archbishop, I know that Wu Heng has a way to quickly get to where he wants to go. I'm not sure if he uses a skill or a magical item, but we have to prevent him from coming."

The archbishop snorted coldly and said confidently, "He doesn't dare to leave Treasure Island. He just needs to do his own thing."

Communication is totally ineffective.

Everyone turned their attention back to the eldest prince, who rubbed his temple and said, "First follow the orders of the archbishop, and we will discuss the rest later."

Everyone stood up, saluted, and then left the hall together.

……

Walk out of the hall.

Everyone gathered together.

"Since the Archbishop is so confident, there shouldn't be any problems," a minister said.

"It's best to send the people at home to a safe place, so that if something unexpected happens, we can get away."

"I think there's no need for us to worry. Isn't His Majesty still here? If there was any danger, he wouldn't be able to stay."

After discussing it, they felt a little more relieved.

Only the woman in the green sorcerer's robe who was following behind the team still had a frown on her face, and her bad premonition became more and more serious.

……

Rentam City, study.

Wen Mansha walked in from outside, took out two organ jars from her space ring, and said, "There are two orc corpses in the morgue. They are criminals who were recently executed. They are around level 12 and are the leaders of gangs."

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "What do you want these organs for? They have to be fresh. That sounds weird."
