Chapter 245:
As night fell, when little players were most active, a ghostly Blood Vulture Spirit was silently gliding over the land of the Count of Kadman.
From its high vantage point, the darkness of night couldn’t obscure its spectral vision.
At the edge of its sight, it could see figures running wildly in the night, chaotic like a startled herd as if fleeing from unseen dangers, though there were no visible threats pursuing them.
This was a group of gnolls, quite numerous with about 50-60, accompanied by an equal number of kobolds. It was clearly a tribe in rapid migration.
The gnoll chieftain, riding a dire wolf, led his clansmen westward from the Baron of Leim’s domain. Their destination was already clear.
“Another gnoll clan migrating towards the Anderma Hills, that’s the 4th one observed tonight.”
In the office of the Blood Vulture Halls, Murphy, who was reviewing documents sent by Miriam, switched to Revnor’s perspective. He wasn’t at all surprised by the scene before him.
Though savage, the gnolls had their own loose social system and information channels.
The large-scale official actions in the Baroness of Shadows’ domain by the Crimson Citadel and the Witch Hunters’ killings in the Morland baron’s domain couldn’t be hidden from these creatures. Although their brains weren’t bigger than walnuts, some astute leaders had already sensed the approaching danger.
