The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 255: Chapter 214, Photovoltaic Panel_1

All eyes were attracted.

At the same time, a patrol team swiftly mounted the stone pedestal, covered the man’s mouth at the top, and another two picked him up and quickly left.

Despite the man’s whimpers and struggles, he couldn’t break free from their grip.

Seeing them leave, the person holding the propaganda sheet climbed back onto the stage and shouted loudly: “It is written here that during the Hammer Party’s assault, the Iron Guard Knights fell back repeatedly until…until Captain Wu Heng killed the leader of the Hammer Party, and in accordance with the city lord’s promised agreement, accepted the jurisdiction of the East and North districts.”

With these words, the crowd below burst into discussion again.

It seemed quite different from what other people had been saying these past two days.

The end result was the same – the Necromancer gained jurisdiction over the East and North districts, but the process was completely opposite.

One side argued the Necromancer seized the opportunity to cause chaos, threatening the city lord with the lives of all the city’s residents.

But others said that the Necromancer defeated the Hammer Party, and the city lord exchanged agreements, granting him two districts.

All the people looked at each other, still listening to the man on the dais, continuing to read from the propaganda sheet.

…

In the inner city district, in the City Lord’s Mansion.

City Lord Ereno sat at the dining table, using a knife and fork to put a slice of meat into his mouth.

Below, two city officials sat separately.

Ereno wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked, “How are things going?”

One of the officials said, “Rest assured, City lord, this is our territory. By now, his reputation is probably already atrociously infamous in the city. Maybe in a few days, the residents of the two districts will all move out, leaving him with an empty city.”

“Heh, that’s good.”

“Should we arrange some more troublesome situations, like murders or imprisonments that could be passed on to the guild? He would lose his captaincy.” the other official continued.

Ereno hesitated a moment, then shook his head decisively, “Don’t do that, we don’t want to force out another Skull Crusher and then we’ll have no peace to live in.”

“Yes, indeed, the city lord has thought it all through.”

“Continue with increased propaganda.”

“Okay, I will–”

Clatter~!

Urgent footsteps echoed.

An Attendant, holding a paper, hastily walked in.

Seeing the several people present, he bowed, “My lord, there is some situation.”

Ereno glanced at him, “What’s the matter, just say it!”

The propaganda sheet was handed over, “This was distributed in the outer city. It is claimed to be produced by the guild.”

Ereno narrowed his eyes and took it to read.

As he read, his eyes widened and he looked both surprised and angry.

Boom~!

Ereno slapped the table with his hand and suddenly stood up.

The other two officials jumped in fright.

One person whispered, “City Lord, is there any… Bad news?”

The propaganda sheet was thrown over to them.

Both of them caught it and began to read carefully.

Their eyes, too, gradually widened.

There were many things written in it, but they amounted to two points.

One was that the Necromancer had repelled the Hammer Party and saved the entire Lundham City.

The second was that the Iron Guard Knights had no ability to defend the city. They only bluffed and gave up the Outer City Area in the face of the Hammer Party, retreating to the inner city to protect the elite.

These statements were a blatant insult to both the city lord and the Iron Guard Knights.

The city lord might not be so angry if they were all lies.

But everything written was true.

“Is this from the guild?” one official curiously asked.

Local guilds generally maintained good relations with the city lord and would not usually insult him.

“The rumor is that it is from the guild.” the Attendant lowered his head and cautiously said.

Ereno looked at him coldly and said, “That’s that kid’s doing. Gomez must be out of his mind, he would never do such a thing.”

“What should we do?” an official asked.

Ereno sat back in his chair and pondered, saying, “Firstly, halt the propaganda. Find someone to mediate this matter.”

“Ah? Oh, okay!” The official nodded.

“That will do for now, you can go and attend to this matter. The feast is over.”

“Yes, City Lord!”

The official stood up and quickly left.

…

Wu Heng, leading his team, made a round in two areas.

Since he was wearing a helmet, not many people recognized him, and no one identified him.

Along the way, he saw a few people reading leaflets.

Wu Heng stood among the crowd, eavesdropping for a while.

Most people believed the content on the leaflets, as the Iron Guard Knights had never interfered with the Outer City Area and would most likely retreat and defend the inner city when faced with the Hammer Party.

However, this didn’t mean they trusted the management of the Necromancer.

The reputation of Necromancers outside was no better than the Hammer Party.

There were also many rumors.

People were discussing this matter.

After listening for a while, Wu Heng and his team turned around and left.

“Captain, that man speaks as if he has seen it with his own eyes.” Duke speeded up a couple of steps and followed.

Wu Heng said in a low voice, “It’s Wen Mansha’s people.”

“Oh right!” Duke nodded, and the other two also got the point. So, they were indeed people who had been arranged beforehand.

They walked a few more steps forward.

Duke continued to ask, “Captain, is the city safe now?”

“If you’re referring to the Hammer Party incident, then yes, it’s safe now, but the city is also quite chaotic, so we still need to be careful.” Wu Heng responded.

“When Glask left, he told me to let him know when it’s safe so that he can come back for business. I’m thinking of whether to write to him to notify him to come back,” Duke continued.

“He can prepare to come back, there won’t be any big issues.”

“Oh, okay then.”

Wu Heng patrolled with his team.

After confirming that there were no problems, he directly said, “Okay that’s all for today. Everyone can go home. You don’t have to go to the association every day. When the Attendants come back, I’ll arrange for someone to notify you.”

“Alright captain, we will head back first.”

The team break apart and went their separate ways.

…

Dusk.

After dinner.

Wen Mansha said, “Someone from the City Lord’s Mansion came.”

“Oh? What did they say?” asked Wu Heng.

“They said that a gang in the city is spreading rumors against you. They have already arranged the Knights to arrest them.” Wen Mansha shrugged, “That’s what they said.”

They were passing the buck.

“Did they specifically go to tell you this?”

“They hope we would stop spreading the leaflets. I told them I would ask you what to do,” replied Wen Mansha.

The other side seemed to be seeking reconciliation.

After some thought, he continued, “We’ve finally managed to distribute so many leaflets, we can’t just stop. Ignore them for now.”

“Good!”

The group sat in the living room chatting for a while, then went upstairs to rest.

…

The next day, at noon.

Zombie World.

Wu Heng walked out of his residence and saw that the caravan had returned and was parked in the yard.

In addition to the original trucks and business cars, there were also five buses welded with steel plates and bars.

The survivors from the prison were unloading things from the vehicles onto the ground.

Seeing the skeletons filling the yard didn’t frighten them.

When Wu Heng came downstairs.

They were waving at him from a distance.

Li Yahong came over and said, “I’ve brought all the people. Today we’ll allocate rooms and living quarters, and tomorrow we can start collecting resources nearby.”

“Good, you manage it.”

“Okay.” Li Yahong nodded, then continued, “The Flame God Shelter is gathering survivors from other shelters to jointly attack a factory.”

“Factory? What kind of factory?”

“From what they said, it’s a photovoltaic panel production factory. They plan to unite and attack it to solve the problem of electricity supply in the shelter.” Li Yahong explained.

Photovoltaic panel?
