Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse
Chapter 720, Like a Hero (Updated today, 5,000 words.)
Faced with the curses below, Saban was not angry.
After quickly recounting the information about the surrounding area in the newspaper, he continued, "The island owner's mansion plans to popularize electric lights, that is, the same lighting equipment as street lights, and plans to provide lighting for shops and residents' homes. The city hall will conduct a public opinion survey later."
The drinker who was casually listening to the conversation was suddenly stunned.
"Investigate what?" someone shouted.
Saban shrugged, "It's not mentioned in the newspaper. Someone should come down to investigate in the next few days, and everyone will know it by then."
There was a pause in the tavern, and then there was a discussion.
"Lamps are magic props like street lamps, and they are much better than illumination stones."
"Street lamps are too bright. Who can sleep with them in the house?"
"Can't you use a lampshade? When it's time to sleep, you have to cover the illumination stone, otherwise there will be no light."
"Damn! I've never used illumination stones."
"They won't give them to us for free! After all, they have so many."
"If they charge money, I can't afford them. These are things used by nobles."
"Yes, I appreciate the island owner's kindness. A toy costs several gold coins. Who can afford it?"
The bottom is a mess.
Compared with the information from other surrounding areas, they are more concerned about things related to themselves.
Things like lamps are definitely good, but it depends on how much they cost.
It's really like a magic prop. One costs several gold coins. Who can afford it? It's like a treasure at home.
Of course, this kind of thing should be provided to some shops first.
Let them increase their business hours. After all, the island is also lively at night.
Saban and others discussed for a while.
He patted the table again, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Today is the latest short story of the Island Master's Mansion, "The Disappearance of the Deacon of Netalei City". Everyone should have heard something about this case. I will tell you the true details of the whole story together."
It's time to tell the story.
Instantly, there was silence below.
Saban re-applied two buff states to himself and said: "The murder of the deacon of Netalei City attracted the attention of the five leaders when it was reported to the headquarters. The investigation team arranged three 18th-level professionals to go to Treasure Island to assist the great detective Wu Heng to investigate the case..."
"Damn, no wonder they set out from Treasure Island to pick up the island master."
"With the assistance of three 18th-level professionals, the island master is so powerful."
"The heroes of the headquarters all know that the island master is a great detective."
As soon as the scene started, the discussion sounded again.
...
Association, Deacon's Study.
Dang~!
The door was suddenly pushed open. Xilagui, who was looking in the mirror to check the marks on her neck, was frightened.
She straightened her collar.
When she looked up, she saw Shi Yali coming back from outside with the latest newspaper in her hand.
"It's so hot outside. Let Wu Heng think of a way to make the whole island cooler." Shi Yali picked up the remote control and lowered the air conditioner by two degrees.
Xilagui rolled her eyes at her, "You think he can do anything, right? You dare to think about making the island cooler."
Shi Yali looked at her and clicked her tongue twice, "After getting well, it's different. You help outsiders to say that you are your own sister."
"Boring." Xilagui said, and then said, "See what the newspaper says."
Shi Yali half leaned on the armrest and opened the newspaper, "I took a look when I came back. He really planned to turn on the lights for everyone."
"He said he would definitely do it."
...
Jinfan Tavern
"Speed is of the essence in war! After the investigation team got the intelligence, they were led by a level 18 professional and rushed to the city lord's mansion to demand the person. At the same time, the surrounding troops also rushed to the city lord's mansion to help, and the two sides confronted each other."
"The city lord 'Dashiel' walked out of the gate directly, still behaved properly and humbly, and asked the purpose of the visit."
"Wu Heng took out the evidence he got and asked, 'City Lord Dashiel, your commander killed the local garrison deacon, please hand him over and we will take him back for investigation.'"
"Dashiel frowned, but also said: 'If it was really done by my people, rest assured that I will never cover it up.'"
"As he said that, he asked people to go to the military camp to find the people mentioned in the intelligence."
As Saban told the story, people below also whispered.
"It's related to the army in the city."
"He was originally a pirate, and was recruited into the military camp because the city was short of soldiers."
"This city lord is quite sensible and has always been willing to cooperate."
"There are 18-level professionals following him. Even if the army is surrounded, he can be killed directly. How dare he not cooperate!"
The drinkers discussed for a few words.
Saban continued to narrate, "Not long after, the soldiers came back and said, 'City lord, the person the investigation team is looking for did serve as a commander in the army, but he died in the battle with the enemy, and his body was burned.'"
Later, in order to appease the investigation team, the city lord asked people to find the two surviving members of the original gang.
The investigation team took the people away from the other party and took them back to the association for interrogation.
Under the strong pressure of a group of high-level professionals, the two gang members did not hide anything and told everything.
It also confirmed that these people were pirates.
Although there are still many unreasonable places, it is basically consistent with the intelligence.
"Thanks to everyone's efforts, the two also truthfully explained the identities of the pirates and their purpose of hiding in the city."
"Although there are still some unreasonable aspects in the case, it is enough to report to the headquarters and complete the case."
"Investigator records, Elder Tapani ordered to take the criminals and return tomorrow."
...
"These gang members are so cruel that they dare to kill even the deacon."
"I didn't listen carefully. They were pirates before."
"The main reason is that the city of Netale appointed these gangs to official positions and used these to destroy the clues in an attempt to get away with it."
"Yes, but the murderer has been caught, and the headquarters can report back."
"Why did I hear that the investigation team and the army fought? This didn't happen."
The story was about the case being closed, and the drinkers discussed it again.
The rhythm of the whole story was significantly accelerated after getting the clues of the Snake Emblem Consortium.
Going directly to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for someone, followed by interrogation and case closing, the speed was surprisingly fast.
The drinkers discussed for a while.
Looking up and looking forward, I found that Saban was still standing on the wooden platform, smiling at everyone.
"Mr. Saban, are you free today? Are you going to continue?"
"Then tell the latest story of the demon dog!"
"I am willing to listen to Mr. Saban's story too."
The story was originally over.
The bards would leave, but Saban was still sitting there, and it seemed that he was going to continue.
"The story is not over yet." Saban said, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and then said, "The headquarters investigation team has investigated the intelligence. Although there are still many doubts in my heart, according to the existing evidence, the murderer is the dead gang leader."
The audience was silent for a moment, and their brows also frowned.
The story is not over yet? Or will there be a reversal later.
Then Saban continued to tell the story.
The investigation team began to prepare to arrest the leader of the White Wing Gang, who was the leader of the trafficking of women and children.
But before the arrest, they found the old man of the Snake Emblem Consortium. The people in the association realized that something was wrong and directly arrested the leader of the White Wing Gang and the old man.
When the leader of the White Wing Gang and the old man of the consortium were arrested, the troops from all over the city began to gather towards the association.
The island owner interrogated the corpse and learned that the president of the city was a member of the cult. He was also the one who killed the local deacon and arranged the clues to confuse everyone.
The local city lord also cooperated and completed the praise.
As the corpse was interrogated, the army also surrounded the association.
The drinkers' eyes were wide open, full of surprise and disbelief.
Sure enough, there was a reversal.
The president was a cult.
The seemingly humble city lord was also an old fox.
This... How is it possible.
The largest port city on the coast of the Kingdom of Yeko has become a den of cults.
If it weren't for the fact that the whole island knew about the investigation team, they would think that this story was fake, even faker than the previous serial stories.
But they all knew that this was true.
Saban's voice became more serious and his speed began to speed up.
"The army surrounded the association, and Elder Tapani shouted: 'Gianvito, take the investigators and Wu Heng and go first, and keep the evidence.'"
"Then, he drew his sword and went to meet the 18th-level cult leader on the opposite side."
"Gianvito was about to take Wu Heng and the investigators away, but Wu Heng said directly: 'Hold on, I can find the location of the city lord, I will kill him, wait for me.'"
"After that, without waiting for the others to react, he rushed out and left first."
Then, the investigation team had a hard fight.
And Wu Heng arrived at the hiding place of the city lord and rushed in alone.
And as Saban told the story, the audience exclaimed.
"Just when the investigation team members could not hold on and were about to be overwhelmed by the army, the island owner Wu Heng flew into the battlefield on a flying carpet."
"Holding the body of the city lord in his hand, he shouted loudly: 'The city lord is dead, and those who retreat can live.'"
"The army below, seeing the death of the city lord, began to become chaotic and uneasy, and dropped their weapons and scattered."
"Fortunately, the island owner Wu Heng arrived in time to save everyone."
"At this point, the association officially took over the city of Netalei."
After the story was told, the whole audience was still silent.
The cult president, the city lord who pretended to be upright and kind, dared to surround and kill the army of the headquarters investigation team.
This....
It's too exaggerated!
This is even more exaggerated than the pirate king's attack on Treasure Island. At that time, the local deacon and deputy deacon were killed, and this time it was the entire investigation team.
Of course, the most impressive task is still the island owner Wu Heng.
However, unlike the previous times when he relied on his brain and observation to solve the case, the most impressive thing this time was to kill the city lord alone and save all the members of the investigation team.
As if everyone saw the black-haired and black-eyed island owner rushing into the enemy's lair.
The scene of dragging the city lord out.
The crime-solving story turned into a passionate story.
It also made everyone feel a sense of admiration in their hearts.
Not worse than those 18-level people.
"Saban, is it the end? There is no sequel, right?"
Saban stood up and saluted, "There is no sequel."
"The island owner is so awesome!"
...
Opera House, backstage.
Several women who were dressed up were gathered together, listening to the literate woman reading the contents of the newspaper.
When one of the names was read.
The women instantly became lively.
"Brittany? Why is she the same name as the fifth princess?"
"It should be her. The time she disappeared was exactly when the association investigation team left the island."
"Oh my God, we actually rehearsed with the fifth princess for so long."
"Yes, we always said at that time that she would not come back to retaliate against us!"
"How is it possible? If she felt bad about us, she would have stopped practicing with us a long time ago. Why would she wait until now?"
"Too."
"It would be nice if she could inherit the kingdom. It says that she secretly shed tears when she saw Netale City like this."
Several people gathered together to discuss.
An urging voice came from the front, "It's your turn to perform, get ready."
Everyone hurriedly cleaned up for a while, adjusted their condition, and walked onto the stage.
…
The island owner's mansion.
Wu Heng was sitting in the radio room, holding a radio microphone in his hand.
Opposite her was Mansha Wen, who was coaxing her children and talking on the phone.
"Master, our army continued to advance two more cities. Basically all the defenders in the city fled without much resistance." Wen Mansha said softly.
The decision of Yeko Kingdom to challenge Luntam City now seems to have been settled.
After the skeleton army crossed the border, it became even more unstoppable, basically pushing them flatly along the way.
In this world, the population of each city is limited, and tens of thousands of people make up a big city.
The population of villages and towns is basically in the hundreds or thousands.
The resistance of some wavelets is like providing soldiers for the skeleton army.
After the killing, all the accompanying skeleton mages were transformed into a skeleton army.
The current situation seems to have formed a closed loop.
The more resistance there is, the more skeletons there will be.
If you don't resist, you can only run away.
"Restrict those orcs, don't let them act like bandits and harass the residents everywhere." Wu Heng said.
With things developing like this, it is impossible for Wu Heng to say that he will withdraw his troops.
When the time comes, the Kingdom may see that you are so weak and may make some provocative moves again.
All we can do is kill all the way and see what happens next.
But facing ordinary residents, Wu Heng still didn't want to make it too bad.
I don’t really want to kill many people.
After the skeleton is given an order, it will not do anything other than the order, except for those orcs who follow the coalition.
They were very rude to begin with, and if they were allowed to run amok, they would probably be even scarier than bandits.
Wen Mansha said: "Master, please rest assured that a supervision team has been formed to investigate and restrict everyone. Once any bad behavior is discovered, they will be controlled first and brought back for processing."
"You are still thoughtful." Wu Heng praised with a smile.
Wen Mansha also smiled and said, "Master upgrades so quickly, I won't give you a bad reputation."
"So good."
Wen Mansha continued, "In two days, we will go to Blackstone Town. Let's see what Deacon Slater's expression will be then. When I first took the position of city leader, she always talked about being a gang leader. ”
"In the Yeko Kingdom, there are some stereotypes about gangs, so you don't have to worry about them."
In fact, Wrentam City gangs are more serious.
Not really a stereotype either.
They weren't all good people to begin with.
Wen Mansha said stubbornly, "Then I want to see if she is afraid. Then I will have the skeletons circle her association three or four times to scare her."
Wu Heng advised: "Farewell, Slater is a bit serious in her work, don't really think that you want to deal with her."
"I knew the master was looking towards her."
"No, I'm just afraid that your relationship won't work out."
Wen Mansha wanted to continue talking, but the cry of a child came from the other side.
All I can say is: "Master, I will take the child to rest first. I will report to you if there is any new news."
"Okay, if something happens, let's contact you again."
The communication was hung up, and Wu Heng returned the location to the skeleton investigator.
Leaning on the edge of the desk, he was thinking about what happened this time.
In the direction of the skeleton army's advance, the defenders began to flee, so it would not be difficult to capture the city.
As we advance all the way, it will depend on when the Yeko Kingdom will gather its forces and resist.
On our side, we must also provide Luntam City with sufficient ammunition.
…
"Who has the news?"
Thinking in her mind, Glenda flew down from the roof.
"Wen Mansha, her army is pushing all the way, almost reaching Blackstone Town."
"So fast?" Glenda was also a little surprised. She floated to one side and said, "Would it be faster to give Wen Mansha more support and let her fight all the way to the main city and capture the Yeke Kingdom? ”
Forehead…….
Wu Heng also thought about this issue just now.
"The Yeke Kingdom is not small. Even if there is no resistance in every city, it will take at least several months to get from the current position to the royal city. This also requires sufficient skeletons and weapons and equipment."
Judging from the current battles, the skeleton army does have the advantage.
But it would be quite difficult to capture Luntam City by force.
The closer to the center, the more intense the resistance will be, which may allow the disintegrated royal city to reunite.
It will only make it take longer.
There is also the intervention of the association. Maybe at some point, the association will intervene.
It's not as simple as imagined.
Of course, you can also try it.
The Luntam City army continued to advance, and the fifth princess was still supported here.
Whichever end works best, that’s the end.
Glenda felt that what she said made sense, "You are professional when it comes to skeletons."
Wu Heng glanced at her angrily, "How about the new issue of the newspaper?"
"The effect is pretty good, especially the part where the army surrounded the investigation team and you killed the city lord alone. The response was very good." Grenda said with a smile.
"You are still good at writing."
"You did it, it's not made up." Grenda replied with a smile.
As they were talking, Xiaoxiao and Beni also flew back.
"Uncle, we are back." Xiaoxiao cheered.
Then, she stared at him with big eyes.
Wu Heng looked at her waiting appearance and asked again, "How is the effect of the newspaper?"
Grenda smiled slightly on the side.
Xiaoxiao said: "Those people have a high opinion of you for saving people. They said that you killed the city lord alone and came back to save people, just like the hero in the story."
Beni added, "No one believes the heroic stories in the association's brochure, but everyone will believe your story, and the effect is very good."
Ah this... .
He actually compared himself with the story in the brochure.
He thinks too highly of himself.
"You think too highly of me."
"Uncle, you are only one level short. Don't be discouraged. In my heart, you are the best." Xiaoxiao lay on his shoulder again.
"Xiaoxiao's words are so heartwarming."
"Hehe!"
Wu Heng then asked, "What effect does the electric light have?"
Benny said, "I noticed that everyone can accept it, but it depends on how to charge. Everyone is worried that the magic props are too expensive and can't afford it."
"Is that so? That shouldn't be a problem."
The electric light is charged according to the electricity bill, and a reasonable price is set. In addition, the flame furnace is powered and does not require fuel, so there is basically no cost.
"Uncle, I also went to the port and shipped out newspapers and books."
"Well, they are all pretty good." Wu Heng said, and then looked at the time and said, "Let's go, let's go to the zombie world and come back early in the afternoon."
"Okay."
The three ghosts agreed.
They got into the body one after another.
