Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 455 Next step

"The undead from 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...left not long ago...where is he now...I don't know...other undead...attacked us...left...where is he now...I don't know..."

"You mean to say that, except for Balthazar, the other high-level undead attacked you instinctively? And then they left here on their own accord after killing you all? Is that right?"

"……Yes."

As the last question was asked, the half of the werewolf's body in front of Noshir, whose soul had been summoned back by the conversation with the dead, fell into silence.

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

Those revived zombie werewolves could do nothing to him, and Noshir escaped from them easily. When he left, he also took away a piece of the werewolf corpse whose vocal organs were still intact.

It was the one in front of Noshir. He had just used the corpse and the spell scroll of speaking with the dead that he carried with him to ask him what had happened in the Tower of the Moon during this period of time.

Now Noshier has finished asking 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 loss of control incident. The only difference is that this time the loss of control is a huge army of undead."

"The lack of unified command is probably the root cause of the undead army's rampage this time. After Keseric Thom 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 the other undead generals. This is why these undead armies, which have a little wisdom but still succumb to their instinct to hate the living, went berserk."

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

The main management of this army is Keseric Thorm himself, as well as Balthazar and other members of the Death Cult. But now Keseric Thorm has been captured, and even his head is always burning. This so-called Chosen God of Death has completely lost the ability to issue orders and command the undead. In addition to Keseric 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 Keseric's deputy, but now, this so-called deputy has also left here.

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

"In that case, I seem to have been a little too nervous and overestimated these messengers of the Three Gods of Death. What happened in this tower was not some brand new conspiracy, but a natural and completely unstoppable collapse. But think about it, after the original plan completely collapsed, no matter how smart these guys are, they can't come up with a new conspiracy right away."

After coming to this conclusion, Noshil was slightly relieved. He felt that he had been under too much pressure during this period, which made him think too much involuntarily and made him become a little neurotic.

Nosher, who had relaxed a little, suddenly began to recall. Thinking carefully, he had been busy with too many things during this period. Various crisis events occurred one after another, and he had not had enough time to catch his breath.

In addition to the long confrontation with the evil thought before, that confrontation with the evil thought did not only cause pressure on the evil thought. For him, the sense of crisis that pierced his heart, lungs, and brain also made his nerves tense.

If possible, Noshier really wanted to give himself a long vacation to calm the heavy pressure on his mind caused by the long-term adventure.

"But now is not the time to give yourself a holiday."

Noshir shook his head, then jumped onto the predator again and controlled it to rush towards the Endlight Inn. He said he would quickly explain to Jaheira and the others what happened here.

If this message could be conveyed quickly enough, and the Harpers could assemble quickly enough, they would be able to seize this opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that the Undead army is now split into dozens of groups of varying sizes due to the lack of a commander, and taking advantage of their weakest time, they could mobilize the army to directly eliminate most of their manpower, and put an end to Melkor's forces in the near future.

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

Evil thoughts. After the secret confrontation that was neither long nor short, Noshil had already silently raised the danger level of this guy by several levels in his mind.

Only the blade that has always been in the dark is the most mysterious and deadly. Xie Nian was able to give up further action when the two sides had clearly encountered each other. No matter what the reason was, he had already demonstrated the qualities that a truly excellent assassin should have.

Noshier had already felt the pressure, although he had super strong instinctive perception and could detect the existence of evil thoughts in advance.

But as long as the evil thought's knife in the dark did not stab out, Noshier would have no way of knowing his true strength, and when and where the knife would stab at him. He could only live in fear and be cautious of any hidden corner in life.

Even if it was just to be able to sleep peacefully, he had to dig out the evil guy from the dark 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.
