The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 608: Chapter 501, Solving the Problem (One update today). Chapter 608: Chapter 501, Solving the Problem (One update today). (Please look at the ending of the last chapter again; there were some changes.)
Recently, the city has seen an increase in visits from high-level professionals.

After all, Lundham City, as an independent city-state that had developed so well,
would certainly attract the attention of many.

However, this was the first time someone had actually planned to take action.

Wen Mansha pondered for a moment before looking at the corpse, “How many high-level professionals are there?”

The corpse thought for a moment, then answered, “Unclear.”

There was one last question remaining.

Wen Mansha asked, “When will they act?”

“They will gather at dusk.”

After the five questions were answered, the corpse fell back with a thump.

And the hall fell into a brief silence.

Dusk!

Winter came early to Lundham City, and the sky was already growing dim.

“Big sis, I’ll take some men and strike first, so they can’t gather together,” the younger brother immediately said.

Coming from a gang background, he still had a sense of combat readiness.

The housekeeper pushed her glasses up and said, “Rushing over blindly might lead to greater losses.”

“It’ll be more troublesome if we let them gather up.”

Wen Mansha sat sideways in her chair,
Thinking about how to respond.

The skeletons and carrion that could be mobilized in the city seemed numerous, but the skeletons were all stationed for city defense, patrolling, and protecting the City Lord’s Mansion, scattered across different tasks.

And the carrion were stationed in fixed areas because they carried diseases, and they hardly ever appeared within the city.

If there was to be a battle, they would need to be recalled in advance.

However, attacking the City Lord’s Mansion wouldn’t be an easy task.

She had two high-level Skeletons at her side, as well as a device left by Wu Heng named “Machine Gun.”

They were enough to kill most of the enemies.

Yet, even if they wouldn’t really break into the City Lord’s Mansion, it could cause some unrest and losses to the city.

Since her body became inconvenient, one thing after another kept cropping up in the city.

After quickly weighing her options, she softly commanded, “Notify everyone, lock down the Inner City, no one is allowed in or out of the Inner City gates, Ereno, go bring back the carrion…”

She hadn’t finished giving her orders
when the mansion’s doors opened from the outside by the Skeletons.

Three figures walked in.

And the Skeletons around them, as if they saw nothing, remained stationary without a single motion.

The three who were just discussing the crisis at the City Lord’s Mansion immediately became alert.

The younger brother pointed at the three figures striding in and shouted, “Skeletons, stop them, don’t let them get any closer.”

The Skeletons turned to look at him, then turned back without moving.

The younger brother’s face changed dramatically, “Big sis, you go first.”

Wen Mansha too frowned, scrutinizing the hooded figure.

The figure who walked in then removed the hood and said with a smile, “Wen Mansha, I’m back.”

Back?

The housekeeper looked puzzled, and the younger brother’s eyes widened in surprise.

On the seat, Wen Mansha’s face lit up with joy.

She stood up and exclaimed, “Master!”

…

That one exclamation confirmed Wu Heng’s identity.

The housekeeper realized who had arrived, and the younger brother also quickly understood, “City Lord, you have returned.”

“Hmm!” Wu Heng nodded, patting the other’s shoulder.

He then turned his gaze to Wen Mansha’s noticeably round belly.

By now, he had guessed what the surprise mentioned several times in the letters was.

He quickly stepped forward, took Wen Mansha’s hand, and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me directly in the letters?”

“I didn’t want to delay your important matters, and I wanted to give you a surprise,” Wen Mansha touched her belly and asked, “Do you like it?”

“I love it!” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Since there were others present, the two didn’t indulge in too much intimacy.

Wen Mansha was helped back into her seat.

Wu Heng then looked at the corpse lying on the ground, “What’s with this?”

“My spy in the Outer City Area was killed. I just performed Wenshi and got some information,” Wen Mansha replied.

She then relayed the information she had gotten from the corpse.

The information was relatively straightforward to understand.

It was that high-level professionals had secretly joined local gangs, planning to seize the opportunity to take control of Lundham City.

The motive was not hard to guess either, as Lundham City had become a treasure trove.

Everyone wanted to take it for themselves.

Wu Heng asked, “When you say high-level, what level are you referring to?”

“Level 15, I’d say,” Wen Mansha responded.

“Where’s the city map? Show it to me,” Wu Heng requested.

Wen Mansha had someone bring the map, and while sitting beside him, pointed out the location of the Wind Fire Party,
As well as the city gates they were going to attack.

Wu Heng nodded and said, “Leave the gang issue to me, it’s not a big problem.”

The younger brother and the housekeeper both looked at Wen Mansha.

With professionals at level 15, and not just one, it surely deserved some serious attention.

Wen Mansha then said, “Listen to the master.”

The two nodded their heads.

“Get the carriage ready.”

“Yes,” the younger brother quickly left.

Wu Heng then got up again and said to Wen Mansha, “Prepare some dinner, if I’m late, you eat first.”

“I’ll wait for the master to come back,” Wen Mansha said with a smile.

Without saying anything further, Wu Heng stood up and left the building, choosing some Skeletons in the courtyard and distributing firearms to them.

Wen Mansha looked at the corpse and instructed, “Have someone send the body back to his family, double the consolation money, and if someone from his family wants to work in the City Lord’s Mansion, make special arrangements.”

One could tell that Wen Mansha was in a very good mood.

“As you wish, madam,” the housekeeper responded.

Wen Mansha slowly stood up and continued, “Let the kitchen prepare dinner, and about what I mentioned before, consider it as well.”

The housekeeper bowed her head, saying softly, “I’ll follow madam’s instructions.”

“Hmm,” Wen Mansha nodded.

The housekeeper directed the Skeletons to carry the corpse away.

At the same time, she went to the kitchen to arrange tonight’s dinner.
