Warwick understood the implication of Onyxia's words, and through this deliberate riddle, he also realized that the Black Dragon Princess seemed to have known what was suppressed in the Pyramid of Atuaman for a long time.
"As you said."
Warwick took a deep breath and calmed down: "It is our responsibility to guard the Attu Aman Pyramid and other members of Setalis Volume. It is up to us to eliminate Kotek's perverse behavior."
At least at this stage, Kotek's unbelievers are not as powerful as the believers, which is the main reason why he took the risk and tried to assassinate Sulsis.
Out of their brotherhood, Sulsis and Warwick have been reluctant to deal harshly with Kotek who has taken the wrong path, and the power of those who tolerate the traitors and sit back and watch the unbelievers grow day by day.
If Kotek really succeeds, the morale of the devotees will inevitably suffer a devastating blow.
Morale sounds like a rather idealistic and mysterious thing, but it does have a great impact on the trend of the war.
If Kotek takes advantage of the death of Surses to launch an attack on the Devotees, Warwick, who is in a hurry, will definitely not be able to quickly integrate the snakemen clan under Surses, and the direction of the battle is predictable.
Since Onyxia burned all of Kotek's assassins without leaving any one alive, Kotek would not get the results of this assassination operation in a short time.
However, the breathing time left for Warwick was not long. In order not to be caught off guard by Kotek, he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Fortunately, although Sulsis' injuries were serious, he did not die on the spot.
After receiving Onyxia's reminder, Warwick resolutely mobilized his direct troops and asked them to rush to the border area with the Faithless forces to prepare for the battle in advance.
On the other hand, Warwick lowered his stance and asked Onyxia to save Sulsis.
Among the three snake priests, Sulsis has undoubtedly the highest status, and his charisma is far beyond that of the brutal Kotek and the low-key Warwick.
If Sulsis's injury cannot be stabilized as soon as possible, God knows how many restless devotees will turn to Kotech after losing hope.
Warwick, as a serpent priest, assured Onyxia that believers would never let Kotech, who cruelly poisoned his compatriots, and that the Pyramid of Atuaman would never fall into the hands of unbelievers.
Judging from the results, Kotek's failed assassination was an opportunity for the believers.
Taking advantage of the assassination of Sulsis, the believers who share the same hatred should burst out with strong fighting power and no longer care about the compatriots with the unbelievers.
Of course... the premise is that Sursis is injured and survives, otherwise the situation may change otherwise.
Onyxia's control over human nature was still superior to that of Sharlayan, and she did not put further pressure on Warwick.
After receiving Warwick's assurance, she immediately set off from the Temple of the Devotees and rushed back to Nazmir to report the situation to Sharlayan.
At the same time, Bwonsamdi scouts who gradually penetrated into the Volton Desert also obtained some information.
Although the results of the assassination operation have not yet been officially obtained, the Faithless have begun to prepare for war in advance. A large number of snake-men troops set off from the Snake Canyon and rushed to the border.
Coincidentally, Sarlayan also learned that the Devotees were sending more troops to the front line.
"Hey~ It seems that the progress on Oni's side is going very smoothly."
When the two scouts sent back the information first, Sarlayan was still sitting in the Hades Palace, coordinating the situation.
Laiden was seriously injured, and it would take him a while to get rid of the void energy that was forcibly injected into his body. Not long after returning to Hades, he began to retreat to heal his injuries like Bwonsamdi.
Due to the death of Sirik, the descendants of Sirik, who had been docile and obeyed the blood troll's orders, rioted.
Some of the big bats chose to follow G'huun's orders to attack Pa'ku, who came to investigate the situation, while others tried to escape the enslavement of the blood trolls and return to the wilderness.
After all, Paku is also an animal god. Although his frontal combat effectiveness is not very strong, it is still not a problem to deal with some descendants of Sirik.
Due to the disunity of opinions within the Sirik descendants, the number of big bats that attacked Paku was not large, and he easily killed them all.
Moreover, G'huun's faint move in anger exposed some problems. Paku felt the strong power of the void from these bats, and began to doubt Sirik's loyalty.
By the time G'huun came back to his senses and planned to remedy the situation, Pakku had already turned around and returned to Zuldazar, informing the kings Lo'alazan that Sirik might have rebelled.
Laizan has a courageous personality and has always shown no concern for others.
After learning that Sirik might have betrayed his mission, he angrily found Rastakhan, who was still pretending to be crazy, and sternly urged him to send Zandalari scouts to Sirik's lair to investigate the truth.
After receiving the reward of his daughter Talanji, Rastakhan has made up his mind to replace the one-minded Laizan.
This time, Lai Zan's rude visit and scolding strengthened Rastakhan's idea.
Lazan's strength is indeed the highest among all loa, but his intelligence has always made Rastakhan worry.
This guy can easily be led around, and he might die of negligence at some point.
The death of King Loa in battle will inevitably cause a huge blow to the morale of Zandalari, which will affect the overall situation. Neither Rastakhan nor Talanji want to see this happen.
Compared with Lazan, who has a gut that leads to the bottom, Bwonsamdi, who is very flexible in mind, is much more pragmatic. He knows when to advance and when to retreat. At least he will not lead the entire empire into a ditch with his own will.
After much urging from Lazan, and despite being extremely dissatisfied, Rastakhan asked Talanji to relay his instructions to Zul.
Loa's rebellion was no small matter. After learning about it, Zul immediately responded and mobilized the Zandalari troops stationed in northern Nazmir to develop resources and took the opportunity to move south.
The next development of the situation in Nazmir Swamp does not require Sharlayan to pay too much attention. The second round of decisive battle between the blood trolls and Zandalari is about to begin.
If he loses again this time, the Blood Troll, which has been severely damaged, will be completely defeated.
Judging from the combined combat effectiveness of both sides, unless G'huun spends all his money to protect himself, the Blood Troll has no chance of being spared.
After determining the direction of the situation in Nazmir, Sharlayan devoted most of his energy to Volton's side, and Onyxia rushed back just at this time.
The Black Dragon Princess, who landed smoothly, did not even return to her human form. Her whole body shook as the large amount of sand and dust covering her body shook off her body, and then she said straight to the point to Sarlayan: "The situation is urgent. Come with me to the Temple of the Devotees. We will discuss the specific situation on the way. "
Although Onyxia is very playful, she never jokes about big things.
It can be seen from her attitude that something big seems to be happening on Wharton's side, and Sarlayan must personally take action to break the situation.
Out of trust in Onyxia, Sarlayan didn't ask any questions. He ordered the attendants of Hades to take care of Laden and Bwonsamdi and then jumped directly on her back.
Sharlayan was not very lucky. When he followed Onyxia back the same way, he happened to encounter a sandstorm.
But there is a saying that goes well, misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the back of misfortune.
The sandstorm was indeed not good news for Sarlayan and Onyxia who were eager to get on their way, but the sandstorm also covered the entire Pyramid of Atuaman, further delaying Kotek's time to obtain intelligence from the front.
For the Black Dragon Princess who holds the power of the earth, a mere sandstorm can only slow down her advancement, but cannot cause fatal harm to her and Sharlayan.
When Onyxia rushed out of the sandstorm, the original black dragon had turned into an earth dragon, and Sarlayan's body was also covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Bah! Bah!"
As they continued to move forward, the two people's expressions were very synchronized, and they both spat out the sand in their mouths with disgust.
This sandstorm caused a large amount of airflow in the desert area to concentrate near the Pyramid of Atul Aman, but the sky was clear near the Temple of the Devotees.
Onyxia, who had returned, landed on the flying platform of the temple again, and Warwick, who was still waiting anxiously, almost didn't recognize her.
"Her Royal Highness the Black Dragon Princess, what are you doing?"
After Onyxia returned to her human form, she hurriedly dusted herself off and complained to Warwick angrily: "What do you think? If I hadn't been in a hurry to rescue Sulsis, would I have risked crossing the sandstorm? "
Upon hearing this, Warwick immediately looked at the other native covered in sand next to Onyxia with bright eyes.
"So, this is it?"
"Buzz~"
Salayan stood up and shook himself slightly, shaking off most of the sand and dust on his body, revealing his original appearance.
"First meeting, Priest of Warwick, I am Sharlayan Deep Shadow."
"No more gossip, saving people is more important. First, take me to the place where Sulsis is receiving treatment."
