It is true that Sharlayan once infiltrated Zandalari, but his scope of activities was mainly in the Zuldazar and Nazmir Swamp areas, and he only briefly visited, and he had never been to the farther away Vol'dun Desert at all.
However, with the help of the barrage and the intelligence collected by the thieves of the Backlight Blade on their adventures in Zandalari, Sarlayan's understanding of Zandalari was far more detailed than that of Kul Tiras.
"The Zandalari Archipelago is mainly composed of three regions."
Sarlayan pointed at the map and talked: "Zundasa is the core control area of the Zandalari trolls. Most of the Loa gods live in this sacred mountain. This is also the area occupied by the Zandalari Islands. The largest area.”
"Dazar'alor, the capital of the Zandalari Empire, is located in the center of Zuldazar. It is ruled by the contemporary Zandalari King Rastakhan and his Zanchuli Council."
"By the way, the naval marshal who was beheaded by His Majesty Dai Lin 'personally' was a member of the Zanchuli Council."
Dai Lin's expression remained unchanged and he nodded calmly, without revealing the slightest hint of guilt.
"Kul Tiras also knows this information. Is there any more detailed information?"
"Of course."
Sarlayan continued calmly: "According to the information obtained by our spies, the Zandalari decision-making team went through a round of changes last year, and the members of the Zandalari Council changed significantly."
"The once talented King Rastakhan suddenly lost his fighting spirit. He has not participated in the decision-making of national affairs for several months, and temporarily delegated power to the Zanchuli Council."
Dai Lin frowned slightly: "Is something big happening?"
"I can't tell whether this matter is big or not." Sarlayan told the truth: "Rastakhan's wife died suddenly last year. There are rumors that the queen's death is related to someone in the old Zanchuli Council. Some people are related.”
"We have no way of verifying the authenticity of this matter. As a result, the angry Rastakhan removed almost all members of the Zanchuli Council, leaving only Prophet Zul, and all other council members were executed by his order. "
"Since then, Rastakhan, who has always been diligent in government affairs, has never discussed state affairs with the Zanchuli Council. He has locked himself in the palace and cannot leave. Only his daughter Princess Talanji can see him in person. .”
"Ha~ interesting."
Dai Lin sneered and commented: "Rastakhan's reaction has actually given the answer. The sudden death of Queen Zandalari is probably really related to the internal struggle."
Sarlayan shrugged noncommittally: "All in all, the Zanchuli Parliament has gone through a major shake-up. The personnel have changed a lot. Most of the new members are young and vigorous people."
"Needless to say Prophet Zul, this old troll has dominated Zansuli for more than 30 years, and his status in the clan is second only to Rastakhan."
"The newly elected councilors include Yazma, the chief priest of Spider Loa Shadra, and her lieutenant - a giant troll with a deformed physique, Vokar."
"In addition to these two people, there is also the young witchcraft lord--the high priest Lal of the pterodactyl Loapaku, and his new wife--the equally young high priest of the swift dragon Loagonk. War Drew Yin Loti.”
"Except for Admiral Foza, who was killed by your own hands, the last member of the Council is Zandalari Army Commander Jabak."
Dai Lin nodded thoughtfully: "So? Do these members of the Zanchuli Council have anything to do with your guarantee?"
"Yes."
Sarlayan used arcane magic to create the shadows of six people. He first flicked his fingers on one of the old men with a stooped body.
"Prophet Zul is the most radical representative of the external expansion forces in Zandalari society. Strictly speaking, this great sea battle with Kul Tiras was fought so fiercely under his instruction."
"Unfortunately, Mr. Zul is not very popular among the Zanchuli Council."
Sarlayan pointed at the other five people with his fingers: "Except for Zul, all members of the council are opposed to the all-out decisive battle with Kul Tiras at sea. They believe that Zul is gambling on Zandala's national destiny. "
"If we win, Zul, who overcame all opposition and advocated war, will be at the top of his game. During the period when Rastakhan was decadent and unruly, he would be the de facto regent."
"But if it fails..."
Sarlayan pushed behind the phantoms of the five members of the Zanchuli Council: "If what I expected is correct, Zul should have been placed under house arrest by these five people, waiting for King Rastakhan to cheer up. Give it to yourself."
"Both Lal and Loti are still very young and have a serious lack of prestige."
"Jabak is a typical wallflower who will fall to whichever side has the upper hand."
"Vokar only obeyed Yazma's lead. With Zul under house arrest, the leadership of the Zanchuli Council is now in the hands of Yazma, the high priest of Shadra."
Without waiting for Dailin to ask questions, Sarlayan continued without stopping: "According to the intelligence we investigated, Yazma and Zul have different political views. They advocate that we must first pacify our country when fighting against foreign aggression, and are opposed to Zul's radical expansion plan. Very disgusted.”
"Now that the Zandalari gold fleet has been severely damaged and Zul has been imprisoned, there is a high probability that Yazma will take the opportunity to pursue his own agenda and focus on conquering Nazmir and Vol'dun."
Daelin's eyes flashed: "In other words, Zandalar will take a conservative stance and deal with the chaotic situation within the archipelago first before Rastakhan regains his strength and makes a judgment on Zul?"
"At least that's what I assumed."
Sarlayan tapped his finger on Dazar'alor, and then moved to the northeast of Nazmir and the middle of the Vol'dun Desert.
"What I'm going to talk about next is the secret information left over from Azeroth's ancient times."
Dai Lin's expression became solemn when he heard this. He temporarily put back his messy thoughts and listened intently to Sharlayan's story.
Sarlayan: "I won't elaborate on the ancient history. I'll try to make it as simple and easy to understand as possible."
"The Zandalari Archipelago has three seals set by the Titans themselves. The purpose is to lock Uldir, a Titan laboratory in the center of Nazmir, to prevent the contents from escaping and contaminating Azeroth."
"These three seals are Nazwatha in the northeast of Nazmir, Atu'aman in the center of the Volton Desert, and..."
Sharlayan tapped the Zandalari capital Dazar'alor heavily with his finger: "The third seal located in the center of Dazar'alor, Zuldazar."
"After countless years of historical changes, the first seal of Nazwatha and the second seal of Atu'aman have become ineffective. Only Zuldazar's giant seal is still functioning."
"As the two seals collapsed one after another, a dark creature inside Odile quietly extended its tentacles and corrupted the trolls that originally lived in the Nazmir Swamps, which are now the blood trolls."
Dailin frowned and said, "I have heard the name of the blood trolls. Weren't they defeated by Zandalari in the battle a few years ago?"
Sarlayan nodded: "It is true, but Zandalar dare not get too close to the Heart of Darkness...that is, the Titan Laboratory Odile, which allowed some blood trolls to escape."
"After several years of cultivation, the blood troll has regained some of its strength and begun to expand its power in Nazmir again."
"In addition, civil strife broke out among the snake people in the Great Desert of Vodun, and the snake people who still believed in the snake god Setaris fought with the unbelievers."
"If Yazma wanted to conquer these two lands, now would be the perfect time, and I don't think she would pass up this great opportunity."
"Um……"
Dai Lin nodded in agreement: "The blood trolls have not fully recovered their fighting power, and Wharton's snakemen are in the middle of a civil war. It is indeed a good time to send troops."
"Zandalar was only damaged by the navy. The army still maintains intact combat effectiveness and will not be affected by the failure of the naval battle. In other words..."
Sarlayan nodded solemnly: "In the next few years, until Rastakhan comes back, Zandalari will not have the energy to run the navy, and there is no need for Kul Tiras to focus too much on them. .”
Dai Lin thought in silence for a long time before shaking his head and laughing: "Such detailed intelligence detection and strict logical reasoning are worthy of you, Sarlayan...well, you convinced me."
Under Sarlayan's expectant gaze, Daelin stood up suddenly.
"I can sell the secondary battleships that are about to leave the factory to Quel'Thalas, but it will only be half of the total amount. After all, we still have to leave some money for emergencies."
Sarlayan breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Thank you, His Majesty Dailin, for your understanding. This is enough. We can't handle it if there are too many ships."
"in addition……"
Sarlayan calmed down and whispered: "There is information related to the internal affairs of Kul Tiras. I don't know whether I should tell it."
Daelin looked at Sarlayan with a thoughtful look, a playful smile on his face.
"You want to talk about the issue of Lady Ashvane overstepping her authority to decide national policy, right?"
