The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 351 - 335: A New Discovery

Milede immediately called for the guards, instructing them to convey their orders.

Those scheduled must set out immediately to the location they mentioned.

After arranging these matters, Milede shifted his gaze to Vance: "Vance, the arrangements are basically set, we just need to wait for the results."

"Rest assured, no matter who it is, anyone daring to offend our Shadow Island forces will pay a terrible price."

After listening to Milede’s words, Vance paused in silence before asking, "Milede, who do you think is behind this?"

Hearing Vance’s question, Milede glanced at Vance’s expression.

Originally intending to be evasive, Milede felt a bit uneasy under Vance’s gaze, so after pondering for a moment, he spoke up: "Firstly, we can rule out other inner circle forces."

"Inner circle forces are quite familiar with us at the Legendary Tier."

"They naturally know that Gai Modessa is your grandson, Vance, and no inner circle forces, whether minor or major, would offend an inner circle major force like us in this way."

"After all, for minor inner circle forces to do so would make them easy to trace, and once discovered, all inner circle major forces would target them, since attacking a Legendary Tier’s family member would unsettle all Legendary Tier entities within the major forces, and consequently, they would certainly take a stand."

"As for major inner circle forces, doing so would mean that their own families could face similar schemes and harm. It’s a boundary they won’t break."

"Therefore, the biggest suspicion falls on those peripheral forces."

"Firstly, for years, our inner circle major forces have been implementing peripheral control plans, causing much dissatisfaction and even resistance from many peripheral forces."

"Secondly, peripheral forces doing such things are hard to track down due to our insufficient control over them."

At this point, Milede didn’t continue, but there was no need to say more, as his words were sufficient.

After listening, Vance contemplated for a moment, then lightly nodded, clearly agreeing with Milede’s analysis and views.

...

Iron Black Pot flew high in the sky, feeling a bit down.

Simply put, they’ve been exploring for a while but haven’t discovered any new territory.

"Legion Commander, haven’t we advanced twice the distance compared to before?" a player from the Flying Silver Corps asked Iron Black Pot.

Hearing this, Iron Black Pot lightly nodded, then said, "That’s right, it’s a bit frustrating."

"This reminds me of the situation at Ten Sons Island."

Upon hearing Iron Black Pot’s words, a player from his corps nodded lightly: "You’re suggesting that the distance from the Merfolk Islands to Mohan Island then to Southern Beastman Island is nothing compared to the distance from Southern Beastman Island to Ten Sons Island?"

Iron Black Pot lightly nodded: "Correct, the situation is quite similar now, let’s hope for different outcomes this time."

"I wonder how Wangzai Little Buns is doing, whether they’re facing a similar situation."

The player nearby smirked: "This situation is hard to come by, maybe Sister Xiao Mantou has already conquered three or four islands?"

Upon hearing this, Iron Black Pot’s lips twitched, and he responded with mock annoyance: "Are you part of my Flying Silver Corps? Keep talking like that and I’ll have you expelled from the corps."

Another corps player chimed in immediately: "Don’t worry, Legion Commander, maybe we’ll encounter something soon."

Shortly after this player’s comment, Iron Black Pot suddenly widened his eyes: "Huh? Is that an island’s outline?"

At the distant horizon, faint silhouettes could indeed be seen.

Iron Black Pot looked closely and finally confirmed it, then approached the player who spoke up, patting his shoulder with a laugh: "You’ve got a golden tongue, haha, go report to the others, they must be anxious too."

Due to their Flying Silver Race’s exceptional eyesight, capable of seeing vast distances, this batch of scouting players had the Flying Silver Corps led by Iron Black Pot on a vanguard mission.

They flew ahead of the players, observing from high altitudes. If anything was spotted, they’d inform the others in advance.

This way, the other players would have a mental preparation.

Upon hearing Iron Black Pot’s instruction, the player from Flying Silver Corps immediately nodded and swiftly flew toward the players below.

Below, the non-flying players traveled by ship, while the flying ones served as propulsion, acting as the ship’s crew.

Although the speed wasn’t slow, it was still affected somewhat.

Thus, Iron Black Pot’s group could lead in exploration while maintaining a steady lead over the other players.

After the players were informed about the intel ahead, they immediately became excited.

Like Iron Black Pot, their prolonged fruitless exploration had left them somewhat agitated.

Now that there was finally a new discovery, players began to prepare for a new battle.

...

On a massive island, there stood a towering mountain range stretching from east to west, dividing the island in two.

Both sides of the island were teeming with dense buildings, clearly indicating a highly developed territory.

At the mountain range’s center, there were nine large tunnels burrowing through, connecting both sides, with throngs of people traversing them.

Above the nine tunnels, on the mountainside, lay a man-made flatland, also dotted with numerous structures.

This was the island’s power center, the residence of its administrators.

Currently, a banquet was being held in a palace here.

At the banquet’s head sat a woman in a white robe, smiling as she looked at the people below.

Including her, the banquet had only nine attendees.

Below sat eight people, four on the left, four on the right.

The four on the right were currently flattering her with compliments.
