The War Lord is the Eternal with the most strategic vision in the Shadow Realm. He has also known Arbitrator Zoval for many years, and they both know each other's character very well.
In the view of the soldier, Zovar is indeed an idealist, and he may indeed embark on an extreme path by any means necessary to achieve his ideals.
However, at least the leader of the army can be sure of one thing, Zoval is definitely not someone who talks nonsense.
Before banishing Zoval to the Maw, the war leader asked him one last question full of doubts.
Why do this?
Zoval did answer, but his riddle-like answer left the soldier still confused.
Sarlayan once discussed the so-called foresight ability with Velen, and also asked Chromie, Elisande and others whether the foreseen future is really unchangeable.
The answer is no. At least on the backbone of time, the future encountered by those with prophetic abilities is not static.
So far, no one knows exactly what Zoval foresaw.
Perhaps because he was worried that speaking out frankly would lead to an even more uncontrollable direction in the future, Zoval finally chose a confusing riddle.
Regardless of the specific content of the prophecy, based on the soldier's understanding of Zoval, he knew that this old friend would not let him go for nothing, and he would even go so far as to completely break up with his other brothers and sisters.
After learning from Zoval "not long ago" that the Shadow Realm in the future... and even the entire universe may face huge threats that are difficult to contend with, the soldier master also developed a sense of urgency.
He urgently wants to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Shadow Realm and prepare in advance for possible threats in the future.
However, when the war leader tried to persuade Denathius, the Winter Queen and Gristea, the results did not satisfy him.
Denathrius did not refuse face to face, but wanted to know tactfully what Revendreth...or Denathrius, the Great, could gain through this cooperation.
Gristia and the Winter Queen had different reasons for refusing, and without exception, they both showed a negative attitude towards the call of the soldier master.
Since no one else can count on him, the leader can only take action himself.
According to Prius's description, his body intends to develop a brand new war machine.
Taking into account the threats that the Shadow Realm...and even the entire material universe may encounter in future disputes, the war leader plans to recover as much as possible the remnant souls and broken corpses that have lost their value, and put them back into the battlefield after being assembled and combined.
The corners of Sarlayan's mouth twitched slightly: 'Isn't this the prototype of the undead structure including abomination? Did it actually start appearing at this time...'
When talking about discussing the profit distribution of cooperation with Denathius, Prius's words flickered, and Sarlayan was keenly aware that he seemed to have reservations.
"In other words, you have no other deep reason for sneaking into Azeroth, but you just want to collect the corpses and soul waste of the flesh and blood creatures under the ancient gods?"
The Prius shrugged: "Absolutely."
Sarlayan looked at Prius with a somewhat strange look: "The 'waste' in your definition...does it include the faceless men and aqirs who are still alive?"
"Ha~"
Prius smiled indifferently: "Do you sympathize with those 'innocent' people of the Dark Empire? From what standpoint?"
Facing Prius's temptation, Sarlayan shook his head and said calmly: "I don't sympathize with them. The destruction of the Dark Empire is inevitable, and I will not hypocritically say that the civilians of the Dark Empire are innocent."
The Old Gods and their minions are the lackeys of the Void who are trying to corrupt the star soul of Azeroth. As a native son of Azeroth, Sarlayan is inherently at odds with the Void side. The differences between the two sides are irreversible. Reconciled.
Since he is destined to drive out the Old Gods, Sarlayan will not have the Madonna disease of sympathizing with enemy civilians.
This is a long and endless war, and the final result is nothing more than a winner and a loser.
Thinking about it from another angle, if the Old Gods finally win, will they sympathize with the defeated civilians of Azeroth?
The answer is self-explanatory.
Prius finally had a smile on his face again: "So you see, our positions are the same. There is no reason for you to come to me for the death of those bugs and monsters."
Sarlayan looked at Prius meaningfully and said: "I have said from the beginning that I am not here to help C'Thun settle the injustice. My first task is to determine your position and attitude towards Azeroth."
"Since you have a clear conscience, why do you need to test me again and again?"
"unless……"
A cold light flashed in Sarlayan's tiny eyes: "There is something untrue in your words. There is something else besides what you said."
Prius waved his hands without changing his expression: "Don't be so suspicious. Didn't I say it before? I promise on my own honor that I have no ill intentions towards Azeroth."
Sarlayan nodded noncommittally: "I hope so, but things like word games... you don't think I don't understand it at all, do you?"
'Tsk! '
Prius smacked his lips helplessly in his heart: 'Difficult guy, why is there such an old fox in such a wild and primitive world? Is it possible...'
After all, Prius is just a projected incarnation of the Soldier Master. Although he inherited the Soldier Master's memory and vision, due to lack of strength, he was unable to see the abnormalities in Sarlayan and Valeela. He only vaguely felt that these two people were different from the current Ai Xerath was a bit out of place.
The leader of the army is a master of death spells. There is no doubt that he has already mastered the three series of spells. He has mastered the withering spells to a superb level, and even used this to touch the threshold of some powers that should not belong to him. .
Its name is...time.
Due to the existence of bronze dragons in Azeroth, Sharlayan often came into contact with Elisande, the controller of the power of time who holds the Eye of Aman'Thul and can foresee the future, and prophets like Velen.
Including Sharlayan himself, the top leaders of all races in Azeroth instinctively thought that the power of time was not difficult to master. After all, an entire tribe of bronze dragons squatted in the Cave of Time.
However, this is not the case. If Prius knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely scold them for their Versailles mentality of being a full man and not knowing how hungry he is.
Looking at the entire universe, time and space are among the rarest and most difficult to master higher powers.
The reason why Azeroth is accustomed to the power of time is actually because of the influence of Aman'Thul, the father of the gods.
Whether it is the bronze dragon's power of time or the Eye of Aman'Thul in Elisande's hands, they are essentially related to the Titan leader who controls the power of time.
People like Wei Lun who can rely on their own efforts to reach the threshold of time power are very rare in the entire universe.
Prius... or the war master didn't know much about the new world of Azeroth. Through the vague aura of the power of time he felt from Sarlayan, he guessed that these two people should be related to the leader of the Pantheon, Amansu. It's related to you.
It is precisely for this reason that Prius, as a projection of the true god, always treats Sarlayan with courtesy when talking and communicating.
Under the guise of fear, Prius repeatedly tested the attitude of Sarlayan and the two secretly. He did not want to offend the powerful Pantheon for nothing.
Sarlayan and Valeela were unaware of Prius's deeper considerations, but they could more or less feel that as a projection of the true god, Prius's attitude was a little too cautious.
Sharlayan is not sure whether the war master's arrangement of projections into Azeroth is consistent with history. Now that he has made his position clear, he intends to continue to be hostile to the ancient gods and use C'Thun's men for experiments. Sharlayan and Vali La chose to turn a blind eye.
In order to confirm that what Prius said was true, Sarlayan and Valeera planned to stay in Ahn'Qiraj temporarily and monitor Prius's every move.
Prius was not surprised by this, and he happily accepted the supervision of the two.
But at the same time, he also hopes to get help from the two in his next actions.
Because he wants to do something big.
"Capture Xeraki?"
Sarlayan frowned and asked, "Are you sure you're not joking?"
