Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 980, Chelu City
Chelu!

The main city of the Yeko Kingdom.

Wu Heng stood on the distant hillside, looking towards the main city of the kingdom.

Looking from afar, there are many buildings and the area is very vast. Even if the outskirts of the city of Rentam are included, it is estimated to be only half the size of the city in front of us.

The entire city's walls are iron-gray, with tall arrow towers erected at regular intervals. Guards can be seen guarding the walls, and the defense is tight.

"This city is so big." Xiao Xiaofei sighed.

Penny followed suit and exclaimed, "It's bigger than any other place we've been."

The other two ghosts also looked over, with some surprise in their eyes.

Even though we have seen the scale of modern cities, the feeling of this ancient town still gives people a different sense of shock.

The former Yeke Kingdom did develop quite well.

"Benny, isn't this your country? Why are you surprised?" the queen asked from the side.

Benny said, "I've only been to Blackrock Town, never here. I just heard some passing merchants and mercenaries talk about things here."

The queen nodded to show that she understood.

Except for some businessmen or mercenaries, the vast majority of people will never leave the village or town where they live in their entire life.

Not to mention here.

When in Black Stone Town, Wu Heng's biggest idea was to leave the jurisdiction of the Yeko Kingdom and go to a city where there were no restrictions on necromancers.

Finally, it was because of the association's transfer order that I was able to go to a place that I could go to, so I went to Rentam City.

Looking back now, the association has indeed done a good job in certain aspects of its systems.

Wu Heng retracted his gaze and casually put on the Faceless Mask, changing his appearance into that of a middle-aged man with short brown hair and rough skin. He then said, "Let's go, let's go into the city first."

"Let's enter the city!" Xiaoxiao cheered.

One person and four souls walked downwards.

Walking onto the official road, the road began to become flat, and you could see convoys with Chamber of Commerce flags flying, approaching the city gate in rows.

"Uncle! The search at the city gate is very strict. Packages need to be searched, and they are also using level crystals to test levels." A small voice sounded beside my ears.

Then Glenda's voice came, "This is because they are afraid that your uncle will come into the city and kill them all."

"They underestimate us too much and want to arrest us right now." Xiaoxiao said unconvinced.

Wu Heng glanced at the city gate in front of him. The Chamber of Commerce's convoy was under strict inspection, and the long line of ordinary pedestrians on the side were also being checked and questioned one by one.

"Is there a suitable location for teleportation?" Wu Heng asked.

"Yes! Sister Benny and I have found it." Xiaoxiao said and went straight into the body.

The scene of a dark alley in the city immediately appeared in Wu Heng's mind.

Turn directly and walk into the dense forest on one side.

【Teleportation】 is released and the figure disappears.

……

In a dark alley.

The magic circle quickly condensed and Wu Heng's figure appeared.

As I walked out of the alley, the owner of the shop next door glared at me and cursed, "You reptile, if you dare to pee here again, I will cut your thing into pieces and soak it in wine. Get out of here and don't let me see you."

Wu Heng paused and wanted to explain, but when the other party glared at him, he could only leave quickly.

The shop owner's curses could be heard from behind.

"Hehe, uncle is so wronged."

"You should be the first hero to be scolded like this." The queen mocked.

"It's all Xiaoxiao and Benny's fault. They chose a bad place." Wu Heng muttered.

"Uncle is really good at passing the buck."

"That's right, what does it have to do with us!"

The search at the city gate was strict, but there was not much impact inside the city. The roads were flat and wide, and shops and vendors were standing on the street shouting loudly.

The crowd was dense, and the ghosts stopped talking and looked around in an invisible state.

Wu Heng walked for a while and stopped in front of a sign at the intersection.

The notice described the evil deeds of Rentam City in invading the country and massacring civilians, as well as inspiring words to encourage everyone to win and to remain firm in their beliefs.

On the side, there were various wanted posters. Wu Heng took a look but did not see any for the Second Prince and the Fifth Princess.

However, I saw wanted posters for several ministers around the second prince.

We still have to consider the face of the royal family. No matter how fiercely we fight in secret, we have to get away with it in public.

Stood here and watched for a while.

Wu Heng walked straight ahead and stopped in front of a pub called "Poet's Corner".

He looked up at the wooden sign with a harp engraved on it, then pushed the door open and walked in.

The decoration inside the store is pretty good, and there are several tables of customers drinking and chatting.

The reason why Wu Heng came here was because of the information provided by Princess Natalia when he left. This was the only spy in the city, and it was still providing information continuously.

If you need an identity or want to find out some information, you can come here.

Sitting at the front desk, the boss wearing a brown apron was handing a large glass of beer to the guest in front.

Then he looked at Wu Heng, sized him up and down, and asked, "What does the guest need?"

"Honey beer, vegetable soup, bread and a plate of lamb slices." Wu Heng said casually.

The boss turned around and started to prepare. Wu Heng continued to ask, "Boss, I want to ask you something. Why is the old blacksmith shop at the East Street corner gone?"

The boss paused, turned his back, and his eyes narrowed slightly before answering, "It was locked two months ago. I heard that he went with the army to repair weapons. Do you know them?"

Wu Heng reached into his backpack and took out a horseshoe. "I made horseshoes at his house before. I came to see him this time. I want him to make another set."

"Why bother asking a blacksmith to make one? Why not just go to the store and buy a set?" said the boss, handing over the honey beer first.

Wu Heng sat down at a seat below, and another servant brought the rest of the food he ordered.

While eating, let your senses relax.

The conversations of guests at other tables around gradually reached my ears.

"We've started recruiting soldiers again. It looks like the battle in the north isn't going well."

"It's freezing cold in the north, so it's not the right time to march and fight."

"I don't know how many people are going to die."

Another table.

"I heard that the ministers wanted to cease fire, but the Vatican would not allow it. They had to continue fighting even if they were at a disadvantage."

"That's fake! The Vatican never interferes in the affairs of the kingdom."

"It's hard to say. The enemies in the north are all undead. The Church has always been very strict in combating undead."

"You're right."

Afterwards, Wu Heng continued to listen to the conversations at the other tables.

The topics were all about the battle in the north and discussions about the royal decisions.

But it's just discussion, and there's not much useful information.

Wu Heng finished his food in a few bites. Seeing that the other boss didn't come to find him, he walked back to the bar and asked, "Do you have a room?"

"The tavern is full," the boss continued. "If you have nowhere to go tonight, I have an empty house behind the store. I can arrange for you to stay there for one night. The price is negotiable."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, thank you for your help."

"I'll take you there now?"

Wu Heng nodded, followed the boss out of the store and headed towards the back.

……

the other side.

In the dim alley, the tavern waiter was walking hurriedly.

He looked back from time to time, with a wary look.

When he saw a building guarded by guards in front of him, his eyes lit up and he quickened his pace again.

Jog over. …

Inside the house.

The candlesticks were lit, illuminating the room with an orange glow.

After the boss closed the door, he bowed respectfully and said, "Kenneth greets you, sir."

Wu Heng looked at him and asked, "Didn't you hear my secret signal in the tavern?"

"Ah~!" The boss sighed softly, and then said, "Now the city is under strict inspection. Every day, people are arrested and never come back, so we have to be more careful."

Wu Heng nodded, then asked, "Is there any information in the city?"

"The city has recruited soldiers again and plans to reinforce the front line. I heard that the ministers wanted to negotiate peace with Rentam City, but the people from the Holy See kept blocking them and they were unsuccessful."

Wu Heng then asked, "What is the attitude of the city residents?"

"Ordinary people don't have much of an attitude. They are mainly worried about being forcibly conscripted, and whether the skeletons from the north will attack here..." the boss replied.

Then, the two chatted casually.

The boss still kept his position at the door.

At this moment, the boss's ears moved slightly and he heard footsteps approaching outside the door.

His eyes wandered, looking at Wu Heng and then at the door.

At this time, the door opened, and the tavern waiter who was arranged to go out to report the news stood alone at the door, with the loose skin on his neck unusually obvious.

"You...just you?" The boss's eyes narrowed.

As he spoke, the servant fell straight into the room.

A gust of cold wind blew and the door closed.

"Damn it!" The boss cursed, a dagger slipped out from his loose sleeves, he looked at the man in the room vigilantly, and was about to rush out.

Just as he took a step, his body suddenly stiffened.

Click~!

His neck twisted 360 degrees and his body collapsed to the ground.

"Uncle, this man was going to report the news, but was killed in advance by Aunt Glenda and I." Xiao Xiao revealed himself and said.

Granda added, "You guessed it right. They do have a problem. This person left through the back door. He probably intended to hold you back and then have the guards come to arrest you."

While in the tavern, Wu Heng asked the ghost to keep an eye on the movements of the shop owner.

Sure enough, there was a problem.

"How did uncle find out? Didn't the great detective just copy it?" Xiaoxiao said.

The queen raised her eyebrows, "Copied?"

Wu Heng said: "When I exchanged secret signals with him, my nerves were tense. A person who was planted in the main city and has not been caught yet should not be so obvious."

Xiao Xiao rubbed her chin and nodded, "I also found something wrong."

Wu Heng squatted down and searched the body, but found nothing special.

[Talking with the Dead] After being released, the corpse with a broken neck sat up from the ground and looked over here with cloudy eyes.

Wu Heng asked, "Who are you?"

The corpse replied, "Shadow Randall."

shadow!

This reminded Wu Heng of the Shadow Council.

In other words, this place had already been discovered by the eldest prince, but he did not eradicate it directly. Instead, he replaced it with his own people, who continued to send messages to the city of Rentam and then waited for the opportunity.

Wu Heng asked: "What are your tasks?"

The corpse replied, "My mission is to stay in the tavern and wait for someone to come over, then cooperate in the arrest. The rest of the mission is unclear."

It seems that this kind of person only knows the tasks he is responsible for and doesn't know much about other things.

After thinking for a while, he continued to ask, "What do you do every day in the tavern?"

“Just open the store as normal.”

"No need to report something to your superior or the guards?"

The corpse replied, "If there are special circumstances, we need to report them. If not, we will just operate as normal to avoid being noticed by others."

One last question remains.

Wu Heng thought about it carefully, "Shadow Council, have you noticed anything different?"

The corpse paused and said, "I don't know!"

Five questions were over and the body fell to the ground with a thud.

Wu Heng took off the mask and put it on the boss's face. The mask moved and replicated the boss's appearance.

Open [Mansion Technique] and drag the corpse in.

Wu Heng put on a mask, changed into the boss's clothes, walked out of the house and returned to the tavern.

……

"Boss, you're back~!" a clerk said.

Wu Heng nodded, glanced at the hall which was not crowded with customers, and handed the two books in his hand to the clerk, "Put them in my room."

"Okay!" The clerk took it and went up to the second floor to the inner room.

Wu Heng was waiting on the first floor for the last table of guests to leave.

He said to the shop assistants, "Go back and have a rest."

Several shop assistants nodded, some went upstairs to the dormitory, and some left the pub.

Probably a local resident of the city.

Wu Heng returned to the boss's room and looked around, but there was nothing special.

Take out the [soundproof kettle] and place it in the middle of the room.

After taking off the mask, he said to several ghosts: "Walk around the city and find out the location of the eldest prince and the high-level professionals."

"Okay!" The four ghosts nodded and dispersed and flew out.

……

Wu Heng sat in the chair and thought for a while.

He took out his cell phone and dialed the fifth princess' number.

After two rings, the phone was connected and switched to video mode. The Fifth Princess's serious expression appeared on the phone, "My Lord!"

Wu Heng said: "I'm already in Chelu, are you ready?"

The Fifth Princess nodded and said seriously, "I'm ready here too, I can come over anytime."

"Then you can set off tonight or tomorrow morning. Remember how to use the ghost train and its side effects." Wu Heng reminded again.

"I'll remember that." The fifth princess hesitated, then continued, "My lord, how is the city? Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine in the city. Judging from the state of the local residents, there has been no impact. According to some discussions among the city people, the officials here are against continuing the fighting. Perhaps you can come over and give it a try." Wu Heng said.

The fifth princess frowned, "You want me to win them over? They are all supporters of the eldest prince."

"When people make decisions, they will weigh the pros and cons. They used to stand on the side of the eldest prince, but that may not be the case now." Wu Heng said, looking at the screen.

"Okay, I'll try."

……

Inside a mansion.

The witch 'Viola' sat at her desk, looking at the information sent in from all over the place.

Suddenly, a chilling feeling went up along my spine.

The whole person seemed to be furious. He turned around abruptly and looked behind him with eyes full of vigilance.

The room was empty except for her.

"Who is it? Come out." Viola shouted coldly.

The room remained quiet.

But that terrifying feeling still made her heart pound.
