However, after Kane finished listening to Steel Bone, he suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"You said that the three Kings of the Undead are trying to possess Facundo's body?"

Upon hearing Kane's words, Steel Bone nodded.

This made Kane narrow his eyes slightly and then ask, "Do you know their current progress and intelligence?"

Hearing Kane's question, the Soul Fire within Steel Bone's skull flickered, instantly realizing what Kane might be planning.

In other words, the person in front of him came here with a purpose; according to what they knew when they arrived, the intelligent creatures here are starting a counterattack.

He immediately thought that perhaps the person in front of him is assisting in this effort.

Coupled with the fact that Facundo had personally come over and seemed to have a cooperative relationship with Kane.

Does this mean the target is the body?

Yes, if not the body, then what could it be?

In wanting to obtain the body, it cannot go around those three Kings of the Undead.

Thinking about this, Steel Bone immediately replied, "When the World Ring first opened, those three fools began expanding outward. They disregarded the rules of the god in this place and started wantonly slaughtering life.

They wanted to use more souls to break through the barriers of Facundo's corpse. Up until recently, their attack began to falter, and they started slowing down the assault, turning to ways to dismantle the defenses."

After speaking, he pointed to himself and the three undead behind him.

"We, the more powerful undead, were also forcibly required to cooperate with them, to attack or dismantle the barrier."

"However, for some reason, the barrier finally started loosening a month ago. Those three fools then kicked all of us out. The current situation is unknown, but since it's loosening, it might be soon."

After listening to Steel Bone's narrative, Kane nodded.

In other words, these undead didn't realize that the body's defense mechanism is tied to themselves.

To forcibly break the defense, these well-known undead would almost have to die.

Now that all these undead have rebelled, the protection mechanism is actually in disarray.

Even if Facundo personally intervened, he would have to eliminate these undead who betrayed him or regain control to unlock the defense.

After all, the body is very important to him, no matter how tight it is, it's justifiable.

As for the defense mentioned by Steel Bone, it started loosening a month ago.

Wasn't it exactly a month ago when Kane and his group reached the front line and began hunting undead?

As more undead died, the defense naturally appeared to loosen.

This situation made those three Kings of the Undead feel that their methods were starting to work?

Thinking about this, Kane began to frown, thinking carefully, seeing it as their opportunity.

"Will continuing to dismantle the defense affect the strength of those three Kings of the Undead?"

Steel Bone immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, if we were together before, the impact wouldn't be significant, but now with only the three of them, it will unavoidably cause a loss of strength."

"Is that so."

Kane nodded and began to ponder.

The death of the undead will weaken the defense.

The three Kings of the Undead are dismantling the defense.

The more the defense loosens, will it make the three Kings of the Undead feel they are close to success and work harder?

It certainly will, but there's also a possibility of restraining each other's efforts.

But as the loosening increases, no matter the restraint, they'll work harder.

In this case, to prevent accidents, Kane must not leave resolving these three Kings of the Undead for last.

Thinking about this, Kane turned and said to Yoyo, "Yoyo, mark the undead who haven't shown themselves yet based on the current intelligence."

According to the current intelligence system, Kane and his group know about most of the well-known undead.

A large portion is now coming to the front line, engaging with Kane and his group.

Those remaining in their territory are being targeted and marked by Kreya.

But there are still some who have no intelligence at all, even the Ghost Maid deeply infiltrated into the Undead Influence couldn't find out.

After a moment of pause, Yoyo projected all the undead for whom no intelligence had been gathered.

"26 Gold Undead with no intelligence found, 93 Silver Undead with no intelligence found."

The images of these undead all come from the Book of Contract.

They slowly switched in front of the undead present.

Then Kane asked, "Do you know where these undead are now?"

"These few seem to be in the core region."

"These three Ghosts were eaten by me, and I also smashed these bones."

"These are now defending in the core area; these are all defensive forces in the core regions."

…

These undead discussed among themselves, sharing all they knew about the undead they had seen, recognized, or knew the whereabouts of.

Either defending in the core area or staying in the core region.

Some were even eliminated by them.

In other words, the remaining few undead with unknown whereabouts might have been killed by other undead.

Anyway, these few with unknown whereabouts aren't very strong.

As long as most of the recognized ones are dead, it's fine.

The main concern is those staying in the core area, unwilling to come out.

"Do you have the ability to gather these undead marked here?"

Upon hearing Kane's words, even these few undead, being somewhat dim-witted, understood what he wanted to do.

They exchanged looks, thought for a while, and said, "There's some difficulty, but give us some time, we can gather them."

Kane nodded; as long as it can be done.

This will greatly save them time.

"So now your only task is to gather them together. Choose a location where even if some bigger commotion occurs, it won't alarm those three Kings of the Undead."

Hearing Kane's words, they nodded to show they understood.

"Then I'll leave first. I hope to get your good news soon."

With that, Kane created a flying device, boarded it, and disappeared in front of these undead.

Watching the flying device completely vanish from their sight.

The undead remained silent, unsure of what they were contemplating.

"My skeleton has returned with intelligence. Want to know Kane's news? And the current situation at the front line?"

At this time, the message from the Eye Demon came into their minds.

"Stop dawdling, just tell us already."

The Zombie said impatiently.

"Calm down, it's a mess at the front line right now."

Saying that, he began to tell these undead the information he knew.

This intelligence was gathered by those he controlled—some Silver Skeleton Undead sent to the front line.

Originally, they planned to investigate personally, but who knew Kane would arrive so quickly.

After listening to the Eye Demon's account, the Ghost was the first to speak: "So the Witch Demon actually died at his hands, even the Soul Box couldn't be saved? It's truly terrifying."

The Witch Demon's strength could be said to be in the same tier as theirs, and was firmly in the opposition.

To be precise, it was of a different nature compared to them.

Among hundreds of Golden Undead, not all were unnaturally transformed.

Being a Witch Demon, a former Mage naturally could not have transformed themselves into an unnatural undead.

Otherwise, why would this Mage choose to become a Witch Demon?

Witch Demons always voluntarily transform, using special techniques to alter themselves.

Relying on knowledge and ability, Witch Demons always transform themselves into natural undead.

Therefore, it didn't face the same bottlenecks as these undead here.

Witch Demons are, by nature, designed by Mages to avoid death.

In contrast, Facundo suppressed its strength, preventing good advancement.

Among all under Facundo's command, this powerful Witch Demon's strength ranked among the top ten, almost equal to the Metal Skeleton. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Plus, the Witch Demon's Soul Box-dependent characteristic.

Its survival ability is absolutely top-notch.

To think it died by Kane's hand.

Indeed, when Kane charged at them, he intended to wipe them all out.

Unlike the Ghost's focus.

Steel Bone thought for a moment and said: "In all the actions Kane took afterwards, targeting the Undead Lords... were these targeted Undead Lords our former colleagues?"

The Eye Demon heard Steel Bone's question and nodded.

Indeed, those slain Undead Lords were almost all their former colleagues.

The ones recorded in the Book of Contract.

At that moment, Steel Bone seemed to have realized something.

"Ah, I see."

"What have you thought of? Tell us." The Zombie asked beside him.

Hearing the Zombie, Steel Bone said directly, "If their goal is to acquire Facundo's body, why target these undead? Just kill those three fools directly."

Be it Kane's actions or his intent to gather those undead soon.

He's showing a desire to eliminate these undead, and coincidentally, these undead were once Facundo's main forces.

"Perhaps it's Facundo's demand, wanting to punish these betrayers, you know, he's capable of such matters."

The Zombie said beside him, thinking perhaps that's the case.

"No, even so, shouldn't they secure the body first? That would be safer, wouldn't it?"

The Eye Demon's voice entered the brains of the undead.

"Besides, Steel Bone already mentioned those three fools have made progress.

Yet Lord Kane remains unhurried, insisting on gathering these targets first.

If the attack is against those three fools, these guys won't intervene, but rather, stand by. Thus, they're not necessarily obstacles to be removed."

The Eye Demon's explanation allowed the Zombie and Ghost's somewhat dim understanding to improve slightly.

"Then why is he doing this?"

The Ghost asked without comprehension.

After saying so much, just the point already, showcasing superiority, right? He couldn't help but quip in his soul.

"Because you're too dumb!"

"I said stop peeking into my soul arbitrarily, next time I won't let you connect."

The Ghost, heard in his mind, cursed at the Eye Demon.

Steel Bone ignored the two undead and directly explained.

"Just a month ago, Kane and their team engaged with the Witch Demon's troops, and a month ago you thought about it, it was the time when defenses loosened."

After hearing Steel Bone's explanation, the Zombie punched the nearby dead wood.

The tree crashed down.

"Damn Facundo, actually linked the defense core to us, and we were kept in the dark."

Seeing the angry Zombie, Steel Bone calmly said: "What good is anger; isn't he inherently that vile?"
