The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 424 - 378: An Unexpected Ambush

"Are those islands in the distance?"

On the calm sea, a large group of people were flying in mid-air, gazing at the outline of the distant islands.

However, although they were close to each other, there was a clear division between five distinct groups.

The speaker was the leader on the far left. He wore a pure white robe with black shorts beneath it, and his striking body hair made him look quite uncomfortable.

Upon hearing his words, the leading woman in the middle slowly spoke, "Ah... it should be, the legendary Blue Butterfly Island..."

The man in the pure white robe on the far left pondered slightly and then said, "I wonder how long it's been since the Undead Forces plundered the resources. If some time has passed, we might only need to wait on the island for a month or two to collect a new batch of Blue Butterfly Flowers."

The woman in the center glanced at him, "Who knows? But this war definitely won't end anytime soon. We might as well stay on Blue Butterfly Island and wait."

The group between the two was led by a stern-faced man with a conspicuous black cloak.

He squinted slightly and then said, "The Blue Butterfly Flowers are indeed tempting, but we still need to work together. I don't want more factions dividing the spoils."

Upon hearing the words of the black-cloaked man, the temporary leaders of the other four factions nodded in agreement, clearly endorsing his statement.

The forces from the East and West Continents are not fools. Naturally, they know which major forces in the Inner Circle of the Chaotic Sea Domain hold the greatest value.

Although they have never been to the Chaotic Sea Domain, the intelligence gathered by their subordinates is quite detailed.

Considering the information provided by the Bright Church Country, they can deduce some other information.

For instance, if Blue Butterfly Island hasn't been plundered, then it would undoubtedly be a highly attractive place, possibly even attracting the attention of those super major factions.

After all, the Blue Butterfly Flower is truly precious. But considering the information provided by the Bright Church Country, one can conclude that the Blue Butterfly Flowers on Blue Butterfly Island have likely been plundered by the Undead Forces.

Thus, those super major factions would likely lose interest here. The Blue Butterfly Flower's growth cycle isn't particularly long, but it's definitely not short, and those super major factions wouldn't remain in one place, immobile for long.

As top-level super major forces, they naturally have greater pursuits and desires.

This provides an opportunity for these regular major forces. The five factions are relatively friendly with each other, so after a brief discussion, they decided to join forces and set off for Blue Butterfly Island to temporarily claim it.

They plan to wait until the next wave of Blue Butterfly Flowers bloom, then divide them equally, which would satisfy them.

The alliance of these five factions is quite intimidating, likely preventing any reckless forces from coming to compete with them.

Of course, this is contingent on all five factions working together. If internal conflicts arise, they will undoubtedly lose their deterrence and become prey for other factions.

At this moment, another short-statured leader among the five factions spoke, "Isn't it possible that the Undead Forces haven't plundered the Blue Butterfly Flowers?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Upon hearing this from the short-statured leader, the leaders of the other four factions gave him a lukewarm glance.

The man in the white robe then slowly said, "Stop daydreaming. It's true that the Undead Creatures don't need such precious Magic Potions as the Blue Butterfly Flower, but that doesn't mean the Necromancers behind them don't."

"Based on the information we've gathered before, we can roughly estimate the number of Legendary Tier Undead Creatures here."

"From the number of these Undead Creatures, we can deduce the number of Necromancers behind them. Many Necromancers are fond of researching the Black Alchemy Domain, so don't you think they would get involved with it?"

"As long as they're involved in the Black Alchemy Domain, their demand for various Alchemy Materials and Magic Potions is extremely high."

"How could they pass up on such a rare Magic Potion as the Blue Butterfly Flower? Surely, those super major factions have also concluded this. Otherwise, it wouldn't fall upon our five factions to come here."

"Even though our alliance of five factions has significant deterrence, discouraging many regular factions from provoking us, we're still no match for the top-level super major factions."

"Moreover, those super major factions are heads of interest groups themselves, with numerous regular factions affiliated under them."

Upon hearing the words of the man in the white robe, the short-statured leader could only smile awkwardly.

He understood the improbability of it, but there's no harm in thinking positively.

Subsequently, the five factions fell silent, increased their speed, and hurriedly made their way toward the area where Blue Butterfly Island was located.
