Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 985: For the Overall Situation
The palace study.

Wu Heng pushed the door open and walked in, and saw the Fifth Princess standing in the middle of the study with her arms open, cooperating with the tailor to measure the size of clothes, with two maids waiting beside her.

It seems that she has entered into the role of queen.

After the tailor measured the size, he bowed and left.

The fifth princess said to the two maids, "You go out first."

The maid bowed to the two of them, then turned and left.

There were only two people left in the room.

Wu Heng sat down beside him and asked, "What happened?"

The Fifth Princess personally brewed a cup of tea, brought it to him and said, "The royal palace army and the royal capital garrison have expressed their loyalty. Everyone still trusts me and will cooperate for the time being."

Wu Heng took the tea and took a sip. "Important positions should be replaced with trustworthy people as soon as possible. Those who are restless should be killed, and those who can be supported should be promoted."

For ordinary soldiers in the outside world, it is a normal process for the fifth princess to sit on the throne.

Although it felt a little sudden, I was just following orders.

The ministers and officials who were capable of taking the lead did not dare to do anything out of line because Wu Heng was there.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble now is seeking death.

"I understand. We have arranged people to deal with it. There won't be any chaos in the city with you around." The fifth princess leaned on the side of her chair.

"Well, you did a good job." Wu Heng said with a smile.

The fifth princess smiled and continued, "The announcement will be sent out tomorrow. What remains is to stop the war with Rentam City. I will do my best to stabilize the people's hearts and restore your image among the residents of the kingdom."

There has never been a female king in the history of the kingdom.

If you want everyone to accept you, you need to achieve some results that no male king has achieved.

The second point is Wu Heng’s image.

During the war between the two sides, the Yeko Kingdom will carry out some negative propaganda against the city of Rentam and itself.

The usual saying is that the necromancer will use living beings to perform inhumane rituals, or enslave living beings.

This is not surprising at all. In the city of Rentam, similar propaganda was also carried out against the Kingdom of Yeko.

The royal family was in turmoil and incompetence.

They are all magnifying each other's shortcomings.

Now that the fifth princess sits on the throne, it will take some time to reverse the image that was previously promoted.

"The pressure from the Holy See is quite high. We also need to arrange for the church of Lingqi Church at the same time," Wu Heng said.

"Okay." The fifth princess agreed, and then said, "I have come up with an idea that can quickly establish prestige. Can you help me listen to it and see if it is feasible?"

"Ok!"

The fifth princess continued, "First, we must cease fire with Rentam City. Then, as the king, I will negotiate with Rentam City and take back the land lost by the first and second princes. This will be enough to prove my ability."

Then he smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will help you clear your name, build a church in the country, and spread the doctrine."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "You should discuss this matter with Wen Mansha and listen to her opinions."

The fifth princess immediately said, "Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely give Sister Wen Mansha a reasonable compensation, and I don't necessarily have to take all the land back. As long as I can show that the negotiation can continue, it will be fine."

"I'll give you Wen Mansha's phone number. Call her directly when you have time!" Wu Heng took out his cell phone and gave the number to the Fifth Princess.

For now, it doesn’t matter where the land is divided.

Both of the people in power signed a contract with themselves.

More importantly, it depends on the level of acceptance of residents in each region and which side they are suitable to be classified into.

After the Fifth Princess recorded the call, she put her phone away.

Wu Heng continued, "How do you plan to deal with the affairs of the Holy See?"

"I have collected the evidence and will make it public on the grounds of interfering in the kingdom's internal affairs, forcing war, etc. I will also report it to the association and directly invite the association to preside over this matter." The fifth princess said directly.

"Well! I will arrange some protection for you, don't worry." Wu Heng made a promise.

"Thank you, sir."

After discussing the main issues, the two continued to chat casually about some matters concerning the ministers in the city.

……

Chancellor's residence.

The dusk was as red as blood, dyeing the window frames of the study red.

Finance Minister Artus held the armrests of his chair tightly with his five fingers, his eyes fixed on the royal guards who followed him back, and the bottle of potion with a faint blue light on the table.

Eternal sleep potion!

The last dignity of the royal family when executing an important official.

He never expected that the person who wanted to kill him was not Wu Heng, but the newly appointed Fifth Princess.

"She does follow the kingdom's tradition." The finance minister suddenly sneered, his beard trembling as his face twitched. "When the previous king gave me this mansion, that girl chased butterflies here."

The commander of the guards retreated to the door. The setting sun shone on his newly replaced epaulettes, and faint traces of blood could be seen.

This was something he had taken off the previous commander and was now hanging on his body.

It wasn't that he killed the person.

When he took his place, the commander had already turned into a skeleton.

"Sir! If it takes too long, His Majesty might get anxious." The commander reminded softly, and then said: "His Majesty promised you that he will still be buried as an important official."

The Chancellor trembled as he took out the Treasury seal.

"Tell that little girl not to blame me! At that time, only the eldest prince was more suitable for this position." He gulped down the potion, his Adam's apple rolling and his skin quickly turning gray. "When I meet the late king, I will tell him that the kingdom has a hero."

Amid the crisp sound of a glass bottle falling to the ground, the royal guards watched as black blood oozed from the corners of the old minister's mouth and he finally died.

The guards checked again, confirmed that he was really dead, and then rolled up the body and took it away.

Then head to the next minister's residence.

……

royal palace.

After dinner, Wu Heng returned to the assigned room.

The door closed, and his four ghosts appeared from both sides.

Glenda's soul fire fluttered, and she said, "The Fifth Princess has grown a lot. After the meeting, many people were liquidated, including the Minister of Finance."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

He knew that the Fifth Princess would eliminate those targets who posed a threat in the city.

But he didn't expect that the meeting ended in the morning and one of the three giants of the Imperial Council was killed in the afternoon.

More decisive than expected.

Xiao Xiaopiao was standing to one side, and asked in confusion, "Didn't they all surrender? Why kill them?"

The queen snorted coldly, "Court disputes are cruel to begin with. If these people stay, they will only be hidden dangers. In the minds of the ministers, the fifth princess is not suitable for this position. As long as Wu Heng leaves, these hidden dangers will become the fuse. She did the right thing."

Xiao Xiao circled in the air and said, "What my aunt said is very good, but I don't understand it."

Wu Heng explained, "That is to say, the situation in the city is unstable, and the Fifth Princess will kill all those who may be dangerous to prevent any danger from appearing, and also get rid of her previous weak image."

"Oh! I see." Xiaoxiao stroked her chin and nodded.

The queen glared, "Do you understand what he said?"

Xiaoxiao nodded, "I understand. I just want to kill the dangerous ones and let others know that she is not easy to bully."

The queen's expression froze, and she stared at the little brat, "You are deliberately trying to piss me off, right? What's the difference between what I said and what he said?"

"No, aunt, I only understood half of what you said at most." Xiaoxiao looked innocent.

The queen threw her arms in anger and said, "You are too stupid to achieve anything great."

Xiao Xiao raised her head and said, "I'm already level 20. If I go back to kindergarten, I will definitely be the class monitor."

After saying that, he flew to Wu Heng's side again, "Uncle, you said so, right?"

"We are smart and cultured, and we don't want to show it easily," Wu Heng said.

"Yes, yes!" The little head raised higher.

Glenda and Bernie also smiled as they watched the father and daughter singing the same tune.

Only the empress sighed and said, "Give me the tablet, I haven't finished watching the TV series last time."

Wu Heng handed her the tablet and the empress flew to the corner.

Xiao Xiao pouted, "You can't argue with us!"

Wu Heng whispered, "Shh! Don't mess with her for now. We're counting on her to write the skill book." "Oh, I see." Xiaoxiao made an OK gesture.

The queen rolled her eyes at this side in annoyance and said, "Next time when you whisper, speak more quietly."

It's getting late.

Wu Heng asked Youhun to go out for a walk when he had nothing to do, so that if there was any danger in the city, it could be discovered in time.

The ghosts agreed, and the four of them would take turns to check the movements of the troops.

Wu Heng returned to the next room to rest.

……

Dong dong dong~!

There was a slight knock on the door, followed by the slightly nervous voice of the Fifth Princess, "My Lord, have you rested?"

"come in!"

The door opened, and the fifth princess, wearing a coat, walked in carefully and stood in the empty seat in front.

The moonlight shines through the gauze curtain, casting a silver glow on her body.

"Aren't you going to rest?" Wu Heng asked softly when he saw her just standing there without saying anything.

The fifth princess said softly, "I just finished taking care of the remaining things, and came to see if you had rested."

Wu Heng said unhappily, "You are a vampire, coming to see me in the middle of the night."

The fifth princess wanted to say something but stopped herself. Her face and neck turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She untied the straps around her waist with both hands, and her coat spread to both sides and then slipped off her shoulders.

Revealing the light blue silk nightgown underneath.

The nightgown was thin, and her slim figure was vaguely visible in the moonlight.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "You are still young, don't force yourself."

The Fifth Princess' cheeks turned even redder, as if she was drunk. She walked straight to the bed and said, "Chief! I have told the ministers that I am pregnant with your child. If two or three months pass and there is no sign from me, everyone will know that I am lying."

"You won't be here for long, so hurry up and take the overall situation into consideration."

Wu Heng was stunned. This was related to the rise and fall of the country.

The limp body leaned over and put his arm around the other's waist, "That makes sense."

The shoulder straps slipped off, and the gauze nightgown fell to the ground, exposing the fifth princess's young and energetic body before her eyes.

The palm of his hand gently stroked her skin, and the Fifth Princess's whole body turned red. "My Lord, it's a little cold."

"Then let's rest early." Wu Heng pulled the other person onto the bed.

Under the moonlight, two figures overlapped.

……

next day!

The morning light penetrated the brand new parchment on the bulletin board, making the blue rose wax seal shine brightly.

In the past, city residents did not care about official notices.

But at the moment, with the kingdom unstable and wars on the border, he got into the habit of reading the notices.

Moreover, the residents of the royal city are generally more educated and more literate.

"What does the notice say? Why did you change the sealing wax?"

There were more and more people around, and the discussions and questions were getting louder and louder.

"It must be about sending reinforcements to the front line! After this period of time has passed, it's time for this group of people to set off."

"We're sending them over in batches like this. When will it end?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Many people have been arrested for talking nonsense recently."

"What are you afraid of? The worst that can happen is that I leave here and become a mercenary. It's better than being caught and sent to the front line to die."

Only the first two rows can see the content of the notice.

But more people, because they were familiar with the notice, knew that it would not be a good thing and started cursing.

At this time, a bard from the kingdom stood under the notice board and shouted loudly: "Because the late King Ditalio voluntarily abdicated due to illness, according to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Yeko and the Act of Succession to the Throne, the Fifth Princess Brittany will legally inherit the throne."

"From the day you ascend the throne, Her Royal Highness Brittany will be formally known as Her Majesty Brittany."

The bard finished reading loudly, and the residents around him widened their eyes and froze in place.

"Ah? A new king again?"

"The eldest prince abdicated and gave way to the fifth princess."

"We have five princesses?"

The crowd immediately became noisy as if a pot had exploded.

Compared with sending more troops to the front line, this incident was more surprising.

"A woman can be king, isn't this a joke?"

"The battle on the front line is in such a mess, and now a princess I've never heard of is being crowned. Is the royal family going to surrender?"

Everyone’s first impression was that it was unreliable.

Although there is no distinction between men and women in various professions, there are many women who have achieved great success in each profession.

But the battlefield is no joke and is more suitable for men.

The front line was not in an advantageous position at the moment, with reinforcements dying in batches, and at this time a new king was replaced.

No matter how I think about it, it seems too unreliable.

At this time, a team of guards came over from a distance. Everyone was afraid of speaking out of turn, so they became a little quieter.

The guards came straight over and delivered a new notice to the bard.

The bard took a look, gave himself two language amplification states, and then read aloud.

"By order of the Queen..."

The crowd grew even quieter, waiting for what was to come.

"First, the national conscription order will be stopped from now on!"

"All the soldiers who were forcibly conscripted can receive three months' salary. Those who wish to return home will be issued travel permits, and those who wish to stay in the camp will be promoted one level!"

Wow~!

The crowd exploded instantly.

No one expected that the first order given by the new king after ascending the throne would be this.

Those who were forcibly conscripted no longer had to be sent to the battlefield.

But what about the front line?
The bard continued, "Second, the kingdom's envoys will go to Rentam City for peace talks! They have the ability to restore peace to the kingdom."

"Third, the Vatican is plotting to start a war!"

When the third sentence was said, the crowd exploded again.

The conspiracy of the Vatican.

There had been rumors before that the Holy See was forcing the kingdom to go to war, and it seemed like everything was true.

Amid the commotion, the church clergy who were squeezed in the crowd quietly withdrew from the crowd and quickly returned to the church.

Now it is certain that something must have gone wrong since the Archbishop and his men did not return.

The crowd went from talking to cheering.

It seems that the new queen is not bad, at least much better than the previous one.

……

royal palace.

Wu Heng took out his cell phone and sent a picture to Shannara.

It was he who sat on the throne and took the photo of the officials saluting, and five Vatican clergymen with their heads bowed.

Then edit a paragraph of text, "I have succeeded to the throne. From now on, call me Your Majesty."

Soon, Shannara's message came back, "Oh~! A necromancer can also be a human king? How about sending you a few maids from various races? I guarantee they will serve you better than those ministers~!"

Then, a photo was sent over.

Shannara wore a purple long dress, a sun hat, exaggerated sunglasses on her nose, and smiled at the camera.

Behind it is a church building in the same style as the Treasure Island Church.

There is no need to guess, you know it is the church of the wood elves, which has been built.
