The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 408 - 370: Confusion

The red-caped woman hadn't yet reacted, and Swinging in the Wind had already set his sights on her.

Before the red-caped woman could respond, she felt a massive shadow engulf her vision, and the next moment, black flames spread across her sight.

She completely lost consciousness.

The gap between Epic Tier and Legendary Tier is too vast, like that between an ant and a human; a single finger can easily crush one.

If there are enough ants, they might threaten a human, but one-on-one, there's really no time to react.

After Swinging in the Wind spat a "thick old phlegm" to kill the red-caped woman, he snorted, and two thin streams of black flames shot out from his nostrils.

He then turned his attention to the other enemies.

The whole process was devoid of suspense, a complete show of dominance.

…

Wind Island.

Wind Island was also a member of the Alliance Army.

At this moment, a group of people were gathered in a hall on the eastern side of the main island, each with a rather grim expression, and the hall was engulfed in an eerie silence.

Sitting at the head was a middle-aged man in black armor, his hands crossed at his forehead, seemingly waiting for something.

After a while, a knight hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Report, my lords, we still can't reach Lord Mu Xiu."

Mu Xiu was the Legendary Tier leader of their Wind Island. Ever since setting out with the Alliance Army, there had been no news from him. They tried to contact him at intervals, but there was still no response.

Getting such a report again, those present were somewhat used to this outcome.

The black-armored man at the head raised his head upon hearing this report: "Alright, I understand. Well then, everyone."

"Contact Wind Chime Island, see what they have to say?"

Wind Island and Wind Chime Island were on very good terms, so this suggestion was reasonable.

The others present glanced at the black-armored man and then voiced their agreement, effectively endorsing the proposal.

The knight who gave the report swiftly responded with a "Yes," and then quickly retreated outwards.

The group in the hall waited for quite some time when finally, the knight who had reported earlier returned and gave his report.

"Lords, we can't reach Wind Chime Island either. They don't know what's going on over there."

The reporting knight's words had barely fallen when everyone's brows furrowed deeply.

If it were just the Legendary Tier ones who couldn't be reached, that might be understandable.

After all, beings of Legendary Level have their own standing, and it's possible they might deliberately ignore contact.

However, not being able to reach Wind Chime Island, with no response from them—that's utterly baffling.

Under normal circumstances, such a thing would absolutely be impossible.

And since it happened, it's highly likely something abnormal occurred on Wind Chime Island.

The black-armored man at the head pondered for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the others present, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

He slowly asked, "Everyone, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing the black-armored man's question, those present exchanged glances for a moment.

Then a young man in a black robe, frowning, spoke up: "I think something likely happened on Wind Chime Island. We've often been in contact with them, given the closeness of our two forces, and nothing like this has ever happened before."

"The occurrence of such a situation is clearly abnormal, and since it's an extremely special time right now, its occurrence is even more unusual. If you think about it a bit, I have a rather bold hypothesis."

Pausing here, the young man in the black robe fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking again: "Could it be that there's been a problem with the Alliance, and that undead forces have taken the opportunity to start invading our Inner Circle Major Forces, and Wind Chime Island has already been overrun by those undead forces? If that's the case, all these anomalies would be easily explained."

Upon hearing the young man in the black robe, everyone present stared wide-eyed at him, seemingly incredulous that he would say such a thing.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately countered: "Do you know what you're saying? The Alliance Army is made up of dozens of Legendary Level beings; how could there be a problem?"

"If the undead forces were that powerful, why didn't they launch a major assault on our Inner Circle Major Forces before we formed the Alliance? This can't be explained."

"As for the lack of response from Wind Chime Island, I think maybe something urgent happened over there."

Listening to this rebuttal, the young man in the black robe couldn't help but look at the other with disdain.

He then slowly said: "It's well known that each of our major forces has a dedicated guard for the Communication Magic Arrays."

"Tell me what kind of emergency situation would lead to all these guards being dispatched away?"
