Chapter 455 Next Step

"The undead from the Moonrise Tower attacked you, didn't they?"

"Yes..."

"Why?"

"I don't know...sudden attack, out of control, all the undead..."

"Where is your master now?"

"...left and never came back..."

"Balthazar, and other conscious high-level undead, where are they now?"

"Balthazar...just left not long ago...where is he now...I don't know...other undead...attacked us...left...where are they now...I don't know..."

"You mean, except for Balthazar, the other high-level undead attacked you instinctively? And then they took the initiative to leave here after killing you all? Right?"

"...Yes."

As the last question fell, the half of the gnoll body in front of Noshier, whose soul was called back by the conversation with the dead, fell into silence.

At this time, Noshier had already run out of the Moonrise Tower and came to a remote woodland somewhere inside the Shadow Curse Land.

Those zombie gnolls that came back to life could do nothing to him, and Noshier escaped easily. When he left, he also took away a piece of gnoll corpse with its vocal organs still intact.

It was the one in front of Noshier. He had just asked him what happened in the Moon Tower during this period of time through that corpse and the spell scroll of talking with the dead that he carried with him.

Now Noshier had asked all five questions, and when all five questions were answered, Noshier's doubts were also answered to a certain extent.

"It sounds like an ordinary out-of-control incident, but unlike other out-of-control incidents, the out-of-control thing this time is a huge undead army that has gathered together."

"The lack of unified command is probably the root cause of the undead army's rampage this time. When Catheric Som was captured by me, the other undead in this tower no longer had a strong enough leader. After Balthazar left, there was no deputy who could replace the leader at a critical moment and restrain other undead generals. This caused these undead armies, which have a little wisdom but still succumb to the instinct of hating the living, to go out of control."

Noshier felt that his guess was almost right, because according to the information he had obtained, in order to facilitate the mobilization of his undead soldiers, Catheric Som did not replace many intelligent undead creatures.

The main management of this army is Kessler Thorm himself, Balthazar and other members of the Death Cult, but now Kessler Thorm has been captured, and even his head is always in a state of burning. This so-called Chosen God of Death has completely lost the function of issuing orders and commanding the undead.

In addition to Kessler Thorm himself, his Death Cult has been wiped out by Noshir alone in the cave below. Now the only person who can barely control these undead is Kessler's deputy, but now, this so-called deputy has also left here.

Noshir guessed that Balthazar should be like the original plot, taking some of his undead soldiers, his younger brother, the Flesh Golem, and Rourou to the great mausoleum of the Som family for generations, to reinforce the magic circle deep in the mausoleum to restrain the Song of Darkness.

"So, I seem to be a little too nervous and overestimate these messengers of the three gods of death. What happened in this tower was not a new conspiracy, but a natural and completely unstoppable defeat. But think about it, after the original plan was completely defeated, no matter how smart these guys are, they can't come up with a new conspiracy immediately."

Noshier breathed a sigh of relief after coming to this conclusion. He felt that he had been under too much pressure during this period, which made him always think too much involuntarily and become a little neurotic.

Noshier, who was a little relaxed, suddenly started to recall at this time. Thinking carefully, he was too busy during this period. Various crisis events continued, and he didn't have enough time to take a good breath.

In addition, the long confrontation with Xie Nian before, that confrontation with Xie Nian, did not only cause pressure on Xie Nian. For him, the sense of crisis that directly pierced his heart, lungs, and brain could also make his nerves tense.

If possible, Noshier really wanted to give himself a long vacation to calm the heavy pressure brought to his spirit by the long adventure.

"But now is not the time to take a holiday."

Noshir shook his head, then jumped onto the predator next to him again, and controlled it to rush to the End Light Inn. He said that he had to quickly explain everything that happened here to Jaheira.

If the news is conveyed quickly enough and the speed of the harpers' assembly is not slow, then they can seize this opportunity, taking advantage of the current undead army that is divided into dozens of groups of different sizes due to the lack of a commander, and taking advantage of their weakest time now, mobilize the army to directly eliminate most of their living forces, so that the power of Melkor's side will be completely destroyed in the near future.

In this way, without the undead army as an external threat, Noshir can free his hands to deal with the real threats hidden in the dark.

Evil Thoughts, after the long but not short secret confrontation, Noshier had already raised the danger level of this guy several levels in his mind.

Only the blade that has been in the dark is the most mysterious and deadly. Evil Thoughts can give up further actions when both sides have clearly encountered each other. No matter what the reason is, he has shown the qualities that a truly excellent assassin should have.

Noshier has already felt the pressure, although he has a strong instinctive perception and can detect the existence of evil thoughts in advance.

But as long as the knife in the dark of evil thoughts does not stab out, Noshier has no way of knowing his true strength, and when and where the knife will stab him. He can only be nervous and cautious about any hidden corner in life.

Even if it is just to be able to sleep peacefully, he must dig out the evil thoughts in advance. For this reason, Noshier also finalized the next action plan.

He would first bring Catheric Thom to the Inn of the Last Light, and hand this guy over to Jasira and the others for custody, while also hoping that Isobel could succeed in her verbal attack and bring Catheric back on track.
