The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 1351: 977, Curse of the 3 Crown Oath2

Chapter 1351: Chapter 977, Curse of the 3 Crown Oath_2

Natalia paused slightly, then continued, “The Crown Prince also has a Shadow Council under his command. It’s said that before he took power, he modeled it after the Imperial Council. Their responsibilities include whispering, assassination, and so advisory roles.”

Wu Heng listened attentively, discussing so important figures within the Yeko Kingdom.

After the other party finished speaking, he looked up at himself and asked, “The officials you ntioned, what level are they?”

“It should be around Level 18! The kingdom places a strong emphasis on level, and the appointnt of key officials considers level as an important factor,” Natalia replied.

Wu Heng pondered for a mont, then said, “I want to end the war between the Yeko Kingdom and Lundham City by directly killing the Crown Prince and the people you’re talking about and taking over the Royal City. Do you think it’s feasible?”

Natalia was stunned, thinking seriously for a long while before saying, “That depends on how you plan to end the war.”

“How so?” Wu Heng took a sip from his teacup.

Natalia said, “The closer you get to the Royal City, the more the citizens depend on the kingdom, not to ntion the followers of the Holy Court. If you want to resolve this quickly, killing these people is the fastest way without considering the attitude of the citizens, but it will be quite troubleso afterward, with a high likelihood of resistance armies erging in various places.”

In other words, most people in the Yeko Kingdom still love their country.

If I, an outsider, directly kill the Crown Prince, I’ll be regarded as an invader, and the kingdom’s downfall will be blad on .

But this matter isn’t hard to solve.

I’ve supported the Fifth Princess and the fake Second Prince on my side, so taking the throne reasonably isn’t difficult.

Still, I asked, “Do you have any suggestions?”

Natalia’s tone was calm, “Master, haven’t you already arranged it? With the Second Prince and the Fifth Princess on the throne, things will be easy to resolve.”

Wu Heng nodded, calculating the subsequent arrangents of this matter in his heart.

He looked up again and asked, “Is there still no news outside about how the old king died?”

“No specific information. If you want to know, I do know so secrets within the kingdom,” Natalia raised her head, her eyes carrying a bit of boastfulness.

“Let’s hear it.”

Natalia said, “In the early days of the kingdom, there were frequent wars with the beastn in the north. In the worst case, they even approached the Royal City. At that ti, there was a humanoid race rumored to be the current rabbit people or fox people.”

“At that ti, the leader of the humanoid race stepped in to diate the war between both sides and determine the territory of the race.”

“During the eting of the three leaders, the human race set up an ambush and drove the beastn to the far northern forests.”

“After winning the war, the king lted his crown and the crowns of the other two races into a new one. During the coronation with the new crown, the king suddenly uttered, ‘Bloodline and conspiracy bear this crown.'”

“People called this event the ‘Curse of the Three Crowns,’ and the recent death of the old king reminded so people of this incident, believing that the curse has fallen upon this generation.”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow. He didn’t expect the Yeko Kingdom to have such a story.

Of course, many legends are not true and change into several versions once spread outside.

From the characteristics of the professionals, if the first king could kill the other two leaders, their level was probably not high.

Normally, if you can’t beat them while alive, it’s even less likely in death.

“Sounds quite interesting,” Wu Heng remarked, then continued, “Later on, I might need your cooperation, and I assure you your safety.”

“Yes, Master,” Natalia nodded earnestly.

The remaining ti, Wu Heng didn’t continue to inquire about the Yeko Kingdom’s matters.

They casually chatted about so interesting stories in the city.

…

Yeko Kingdom, council chamber.

Bronze chandeliers hung with Illuminating Stones,

The Crown Prince unconsciously rubbed the armrest of the throne with his fingertips, keeping his head slightly lowered, occasionally glancing below.

“Your Majesty!” The Minister of Finance suddenly stood up and said, “The three northern cities have run out of grain, transportation is difficult, and there’s a shortage of provisions….”

Then, a military general also stood up, his voice deep and powerful, “It’s freezing cold now, making it very difficult to march and conduct military operations, whereas the opponent’s Skeleton Army is not affected at all. Continuing the battle will only add to the casualties.”

Initially, the Yeko Kingdom started the war mainly because the Holy Court initiated a Holy War against the Gold and Silver Island, and everyone believed that Wu Heng would die at the hands of the Holy Court.

By that ti, the Undead Soldiers would naturally collapse, allowing the great army to smoothly march on to Lundham City.

But things did not progress as they had anticipated. In fact, it went in the exact opposite direction, with Wu Heng achieving the final victory.

Even though the Holy Court did not acknowledge it, newspapers from the south reported on the Pope’s assassination and the Religious Leader’s body being destroyed.

Upon seeing the content of the newspaper, the Yeko Kingdom’s high officials, including the Crown Prince, were terrified.

etings were fraught with anxiety every day, and nights were sleepless.

They feared that one day their heads would be chopped off if the opponent decided to co over directly.

So elderly ministers even fell ill, writing their wills.

If it weren’t for the Holy Court assigning an Archbishop to supervise the war, making it difficult to retreat because of the stalemate, they might have already sought to negotiate a peace.

Boom~!

The Archbishop of the Holy Court heavily struck the ground with his scepter, causing cracks like a spiderweb to appear on the marble floor, solemnly announcing, “The Pope decrees that the Yeko Kingdom should continue the conflict. We’ve each made our commitnts; how can we give up halfway?”

Behind him, a figure clad in a black robe stepped forward and said, “Archbishop, forcefully attacking now will only add to the undead’s numbers with our injured. It’s not a rational decision. Moreover, Wu Heng… the hero poses too great a threat to ordinary people like us. Without a substantial thod to restrain him, I believe a temporary adjustnt is necessary.”

The Crown Prince’s faction was comprised of two parties.

Kingdom ministers and nurous recruited sects, now unified under his command, are important mbers of the Shadow Council.

The Archbishop slightly raised his eyes, his voice filled with disdain, “Wu Heng remains on the Gold and Silver Island; soone is watching him. The surrounding churches have also arranged reinforcents, which will arrive here before long.”

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure how to respond.

The Holy Court is using the Yeko Kingdom as an instrunt of revenge against Wu Heng, determined to see it through.

Behind the group, a woman dressed in a green magician’s robe spoke softly, “Archbishop, I know Wu Heng has a way to quickly reach wherever he wants. While I’m unsure if he uses a skill or a Special Item, we must prevent him from coming.”

The Archbishop snorted coldly, his tone confident, “He wouldn’t dare leave the Gold and Silver Island. Just focus on your tasks.”

Realizing that communication was ineffective.

All eyes turned back to the Crown Prince, who rubbed his temples, “Let’s follow the Archbishop’s orders for now and discuss any remaining issues later.”

The crowd stood up, saluted, and left the hall together.

…

Exiting the hall.

The group gathered together.

“The Archbishop seems confident; there shouldn’t be any problems,” said one minister.

“It might be best to send our family mbers sowhere safe. If things go awry, we can escape easily.”

“See, we don’t need to worry much. His Majesty is still here. If things were really dangerous, he wouldn’t stay either.”

After discussing it, they felt slightly relieved.

Only the woman in the green magician’s robe, at the back of the group, remained worried, the sense of impending doom growing stronger.

…

Lundham City, study room.

Wen Mansha walked in from outside, taking out two Organ Jars from her Space Ring, and said, “The autopsy room has two orc corpses. They were recently executed criminals, leaders of a gang, at around Level 12.”

She then asked curiously, “What do you want these organs for? They still need to be fresh, which sounds quite strange.”
