The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 409 - 370: Confusion (Part 2)

Hearing the words of the black-robed young man, the person who refuted them not only turned red-faced but also stammered without making a coherent point.

Because he knew very well that if the guards of the Communication Magic Array were reassigned, it meant only one thing: this faction had been breached.

Otherwise, under no circumstances could those guarding the Communication Magic Array be reassigned.

These guards were not particularly strong; their sole duty was to protect communications. In any battle scenario, they would not be mobilized. If an incident occurred with them, it suggested that this matter might have already been annihilated.

And if the faction of Wind Chime Island was indeed destroyed, then the hypothesis proposed by the black-robed young man would be very convincing.

However, regardless of the situation, they found it hard to believe that an alliance composed of dozens of legendary tier entities could be compromised.

After all, it comprised dozens of legendary tier entities.

Especially since it included Guluns, acknowledged as the strongest legendary tier existence among the Inner Circle Major Forces.

Thinking about this, the crowd turned their sight toward the black-armored middle-aged man seated at the head.

This black-armored middle-aged man was the leader of the legendary tier existence at Wind Island.

Mu Xiu's close confidant.

Before leaving, Mu Xiu entrusted all island affairs to him.

In essence, he was now the backbone of Wind Island. When everyone was indecisive, they naturally turned to him.

The black-armored middle-aged man remained with his hands folded in front of his forehead, seemingly pondering something.

After quite a while, he finally raised his head. A sharp gleam flashed across his face as he slowly spoke: "Although such a possibility is almost impossible, one cannot deny that unexpected events can happen."

"Therefore, I think we should take some action now."

Hearing the words of the black-armored middle-aged man, the people present were slightly taken aback.

Someone looked at him with a bit of confusion and asked, "I wonder what kind of action you are referring to?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered with a cold light before he slowly said, "It's simple. Convey this message to those Inner Circle Major Forces not part of the alliance."

Upon hearing his words, someone remarked in surprise, "What? Should we tell them that there's been an unexpected incident with our alliance?"

Hearing this, the black-armored middle-aged man glanced at him as if looking at a fool.

He then spoke slowly and deliberately, "An unexpected incident with the alliance? Where did you get that conclusion?"

At that, the black-armored man gently closed his eyes, "We just need to inform them that the alliance is currently unreachable and Wind Chime Island has been overtaken by the Undead Forces, that's all." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Once they receive this information, I believe they will surely take appropriate action. At that point, we won't need to worry, as they'll investigate thoroughly on their own."

"Currently, we no longer have any legendary tier existences, making it extremely difficult to uncover the truth. But those Inner Circle Major Forces with legendary tier existences who aren't part of the alliance are an entirely different story."

Finishing his point, the black-armored man opened his eyes again, "That's how we'll handle it. First, convey this message to Cloud Island."

Hearing his words, the people present had rather peculiar expressions.

Because the legendary leader of Cloud Island was known to be quite cowardly and opportunistic, craving fame and loving face.

Upon receiving this news, how would such a person react? They more or less expected an answer.

Chances are, he would immediately convey this information to all Inner Circle Major Forces still having legendary tier existences, urging them to investigate together.

And he certainly wouldn't reveal the source of this information, instead, claiming it as his own achievement.

This way, they wouldn't need to worry about too many Inner Circle Major Forces shifting their focus to Wind Island and it would also lend more credibility.

Soon, the knight awaiting orders below complied and hurriedly retreated, evidently heading to the Communication Magic Array to send the intelligence to Cloud Island.

In the central palace of Cloud Island,

a man and a woman were drinking while admiring the dancer twisting her body in the palace center.

These two were the legendary tier existences of Cloud Island.

They had an excellent relationship as they were siblings, and their cooperation was so seamless that they could fend off four legendary tier existences of equal strength.

This cooperation was their foothold in survival.

At their happiest moment, a guard rushed over hurriedly.

Seeing this guard, the two at the top frowned slightly, but they also recognized him as the guard of the Communication Magic Array.

Coming in such a hurry to report, it was clear that it must be some urgent information.

Hence, they did not blame him. The legendary tier man, with a hint of displeasure, asked, "What's happening that requires such haste?"

The reporting guard first glanced at the legendary tier man, then at the legendary tier woman.

Only then did he speak, "My lord, we've just received intelligence from Wind Island."

Hearing this, the legendary tier man's frown deepened, and he asked, "Oh? Explain in detail, and do not omit anything."

He was already quite wary of the alliance composed of dozens of legendary tier existences.

The situation from Wind Island must undoubtedly relate to the alliance.

Thus, he took it very seriously, wanting to know exactly what was happening.

Hearing the man's words, the reporting guard immediately said, "My lord, the word from Wind Island is that the alliance of those dozens of legendary tier existences is currently unreachable for some unknown reason. Furthermore, they also say that Wind Chime Island has been completely overtaken by the Undead Forces."

Hearing this, the legendary tier man slammed his table into pieces with a "bang" and stood up, widening his eyes.

Either of these pieces of intelligence alone might not elicit such a strong reaction, but combined, the information was overwhelming, filling him with disbelief and a sense of unease.

"Brother, calm down," the legendary tier woman beside him said.

Hearing her words calmed him, and he sat back down slowly, "I don't believe Wind Island has any reason to deceive us, considering such things are easily verified."

"If these two pieces of information corroborate each other, the most likely conclusion is that the alliance faced a massive issue, possibly even annihilated by the Undead Forces."

As he spoke, disbelief flashed across his face, "But it shouldn't be possible. If the Undead Forces had the power to destroy the alliance, why had they only been active in the Peripheral Forces' territory before? It seems so strange."

Hearing the man's words, the legendary tier woman beside him frowned as well, clearly just as perplexed by this point.
