Even now he stands imperiously on the road, letting his minions tend to the slain. Well, probably just injured, but everyone knows a tree being injured is at
least as bad as a talented dwarven smith being ripped asunder.
Looks like the elf's also killed some zombie's (Probably another road crew) Look at the ground around where they start those three red things. Also the road seems to be getting paved in three directions look up at the top of the image so could that mean there's another zombie road crew around? That also mean the paving was started really close by. And leaves the question as to why is was started at the intersection?
I don't think there's a third road crew, because we can see the northern/upper part of the road and its dirt, and the other two crews were right on their paving. It's also very short, suggesting that may have been the start point or only fleshed out enough to cover the intersection properly.
As for why, probably explicitly because it's an intersection. We know it's near a necromancer's tower and seems to lead to at least the Mountainhomes, a famous fortress, and elves, so that seems like a good start if you've got a reason to pave roads in the first place.
Still a little sunk on just what that reason could be, of course. I naturally maintain that the necromancer is hoping to improve relations between his gentle and noble people and those of other races via improved trade conduits, but who knows.
