Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 740, No Way to Explain

Everyone believed that continuing to forcefully attack the fortress would only result in additional casualties.

The best way is to take a detour and attack the city behind.

There is no need to waste too many troops in a place where you have no advantage at all.

"Jeffrey, go and propose to the President to let the Skeleton take a detour, so that you can report to the City Lord Wenmansha later." Someone said immediately.

Jeffrey was the commander of the army, specifically responsible for some coordination and communication issues.

The others were not in a position to express their opinions, nor were they qualified to give any opinions to the Skeleton President, but Jeffrey still had certain rights.

Jeffrey pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk to the President about this. If that doesn't work, I'll write a letter to the city lord to let him know the situation here in advance."

The others also nodded in agreement.

Then they walked together towards a building at the back.

Standing in front of the building.

He knocked on the door lightly, then pushed it open and walked in.

The building was dark, with only the open window letting in the silvery moonlight.

A skeleton wearing a noble long skirt and a sun hat was sitting in the room, looking towards the door with its empty eye sockets.

Jeffrey and the others forced a smile.

"Mr. President, we have something to report to you."

……

the other side.

"Fuck, where did this come from?"

After getting off the train, Wu Heng looked at the dark woods around him.

From time to time, rustling sounds came from both sides, as if some wild beasts were running through the jungle.

After boarding the ghost train from Rentam City, Wu Heng filled out the itinerary to go to 'Fortress of Sett'.

After all, some of the ammunition and supplies from Rentam City needed to be delivered by themselves first.

But once I got off the car, everything was pitch black.

There is still some psychological pressure.

Wu Heng released a [Dancing Light Technique] that surrounded his body and let the ghost out.

"Wow, the food is glowing, oh it's uncle." Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

"What kind of words are you using?" Wu Heng looked at her and said.

“I’ve never heard of this.”

Glenda looked around and asked, "Have you arrived yet?"

Wu Heng said, "We should have reached the fortress. The train has never missed a beat. Let's fly a little higher to identify the direction."

"Okay." Xiaoxiao agreed, and her body rose directly and looked around.

Glenda and Benny conducted some explorations in the jungles on both sides.

Ok rustling, just some critters.

Nothing dangerous.

Then, Xiao Xiao flew down from the sky and pointed in two directions. "Uncle, there is a city over there. The fire should be the fortress you mentioned. There are dense beams of light over there. They should be the skeleton army."

"Okay, let's go over there." Wu Heng dissipated the Dancing Light Technique, took out a flashlight and rushed towards the location of the skeleton.

Seeing the location of the skeletons gathered in the distance, he put on the faceless mask and changed his appearance into a brown-haired fisherman.

……

inside the house.

Jeffrey sat on one side and said seriously, "Mr. President, we are the only one who has been losing troops during the attack on the fortress these days. The enemy is taking advantage of this and intends to consume our troops."

"Since we can't take it, we can choose to take a detour. The biggest advantage of the Skeleton Army is that it doesn't need too much baggage. We can go around it."

Jeffrey placed a map on the table and gestured with his hands to indicate the detour route.

Judging from the map, the detour is half a circle.

The distance and consumption will definitely increase exponentially, but there is no other way. This city is very famous and the skeleton army cannot attack it.

The skeleton president, with his empty eyes, just glanced at the map.

He stretched out his bony hand and waved it towards the door, signaling that they could leave. Jeffrey and the others looked grim, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "You can think about it. You can also report the situation here to Rentam City and listen to the arrangements there."

The skeleton still waved his hands, signaling them to leave.

Several commanders still had frowns on their faces, but there was nothing they could do.

They looked at each other, stood up and walked out.

Squeak~!

Just as they reached the door, it suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man with brown hair and rough skin opened the door and walked in with two followers.

"Who is it?" Several commanders immediately asked.

The person who came in was Wu Heng, whose appearance had changed.

He glanced at the people in the room and said, "I came from Rentam City and brought orders and supplies from Lord Wenmansha."

"You? It was the Skeleton Knight before, why is it your turn now?"

Now that we are at war with the Yeko Kingdom, apart from the original members of the Spike Gang, some humans are rarely assigned any important duties.

How come a stranger came here to deliver orders and supplies?

Several commanders questioned, and the skeleton president in the room, who was wearing a long skirt and a sun hat, pushed away the people blocking the way and let Wu Heng sit in his seat.

Then, like an obedient servant, she gently rubbed his shoulders.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the scene in horror.

It’s not just the skeleton shoulder rubs.

There was also a feeling of disbelief that this skeleton president with such strange behavior could be so obedient.

It was like a ghost.

Wu Heng felt a little uncomfortable with the skeleton's shoulder rubbing, but it was also obvious that the skeleton's action.

Make the people in front of you believe in your identity.

This saves me the trouble of explaining.

Wu Heng asked directly: "Who is 'Jeffrey'?"

"Hello, sir. How should I address you?" Jeffrey stepped forward.

"I am the inspector appointed by City Lord Wen Mansha. Tell me about the current situation." Wu Heng said in a flat tone.

Jeffrey nodded and continued, "The Skeleton Army has been attacking for several days in a row, and has lost a lot of manpower and weapons. At present, it seems that only our side has lost manpower."

"Is it difficult to capture it?"

"This fortress has been well prepared, and the walls are tall and solid, with a large number of machines installed on them. The current attack method of the skeleton army makes it difficult to take it down," Jeffrey said directly.

Then, he added, "We want to take a detour and are discussing this with the President."

"Take a detour? Do you have a map?" Wu Heng looked at him puzzledly.

Jeffrey took out the map he had just put away and drew a route with his hand. "We can take a detour here to avoid fighting with the fortress and directly attack the city behind."

Wu Heng glanced at the map and asked, "Why didn't the orc army bypass it back then?"

Forehead…….

Jeffrey turned and looked at the orc representatives behind him.

The orcs scratched their heads, looking confused.

Jeffrey replied, "It should be a problem of baggage and time. Taking a detour will increase the consumption of baggage."

Wu Heng nodded, "How many skeletons are left?"

"About 20,000," Jeffrey replied.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you guys go down and rest for a while, I'll tell you what to do later."

"Yes." Everyone turned and left.

Before leaving, Jeffrey hesitated, and stopped near the door. "Inspector, if too many skeleton soldiers are consumed, the other side will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. If it is serious, it may threaten the city of Rentam, and I will not be able to explain to the city lord."

"I'll consider it." Wu Heng still said.

Jeffrey said nothing more and left with the others.
