Just as Sarlayan expected.
Although Hakkar, who returned to the material world, was extremely thirsty and asked Hex to sacrifice more flesh and soul to it, Hex was not stupid, and it would not easily let Hakkar escape from its control.
What happened to the Gurubashi clan 1,500 years ago is a lesson from the past.
At that time, the Gurubashi trolls met all of Hakkar's needs without reservation. As a result, they raised an unruly wild father for themselves. Instead, they became Hakkar's slaves who could only obey his orders.
Hakkar is an out-and-out evil god. He doesn't care about the death of his followers. As long as he can restore his peak fighting power through the blood sacrifice ceremony, he will not feel bad no matter how many trolls die.
Therefore, the situation on the top of Zin'salor seems to be dire, but Thalayan can almost conclude that there will inevitably be an extreme tug-of-war between Hex and Hakkar for dominance.
To put it bluntly, Hex would not easily let go of Hakkar's control unless he was at the end of his rope.
If Sarlayan and Melinsela rush in at this time to implement a beheading tactic, it may prompt Hex, who has a heightened sense of crisis, to desperately untie the chains tied to Hakkar.
"Be patient, we need to wait until the right time to act."
"Before that..." Sarlayan turned his gaze back to the front of the defense line where the situation was gradually becoming clearer: "Let's deal with these guys first."
"Hey~"
Melinsera shook her head helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. After all, you are the one who knows the thoughts of mortals among the Dragon Clan best."
"but……"
Melinsela raised her head and gave a silent cry into the sky, and some kind of strange sound wave that ordinary people could not hear spread rapidly.
Sarlayan asked curiously: "Are you calling for reinforcements? Come to Thorne?"
"No."
Melinthra shook her head: "I just informed Thorne to fully open Seradan's dream road and welcome my already prepared support troops from the Emerald Dragon Holy Land to the Hinterlands."
If the Battle of the Hinterlands was just a fight between mortals, Melinsela would not even plan to take action.
But after the evil god Haka joined, the nature of this war was completely different.
The Green Dragon Legion and Hakkar, the Soul Reaver, had a feud as early as 1,500 years ago, and it has to have a beginning and an end.
Perhaps she was planning to take this opportunity to train her precious daughter, but Yin Sera, who was on duty at the Dragon Sleeping Temple, did not intend to take action herself.
Moreover, with Haka's current strength, there is really no need to let high-end combat power at the level of the guardian dragon enter the scene.
Sarlayan had already measured it with the Eagle Eye Technique. When he was just summoned, Haka's level was only level 60, which was barely reaching the demigod level.
However, with the continuous blood sacrifice of the Evil Branch Troll, Hakkar's level is slowly rising, and now it has reached level 62, which is the same level as Sarlayan.
If Hex is pushed too hard, there will be room for Haka's strength to continue to rise.
But as Sharlayan said before, even if all the evil branch trolls in Zinzaro were sacrificed to Hakkar, he would only be able to reach level 63 or 64 at most, and he would not be able to materialize. body.
Haka in the form of soul... Although Sarlayan has stopped studying the power of death, the abilities he already possesses will not disappear. He is good at dealing with souls.
Although Hex did not plan to continue to improve Hakkar's personal strength for the time being, in order to ensure that she could hold the Evil Branch base of Sinsaro, she gritted her teeth and sacrificed a group of less injured tribesmen to help Hakkar summon many Heir of the Wind Snake.
Therefore, Sarlayan did not stop Melinsela from calling for reinforcements. After all, you are in the first grade of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth grade.
However, the quality of the green dragon army that came in response to the call was somewhat beyond Sarlayan's expectation. Although more than a dozen green dragons came, all of them were young dragons without horns on their heads. No.
While Sarlayan continued to command the army, he asked with some surprise: "Who are these young dragons?"
Melinsela smiled bitterly and shrugged: "My descendant, my mother informed me in advance that she will not send additional reinforcements to me. This battle can only rely on my own power."
"Oh~"
Sarlayan looked thoughtfully at the young dragons who landed next to Melinsela one after another and saluted her respectfully.
"Ah! That's right! Don't get me wrong!"
As if she suddenly realized something, Melinsela hurriedly added and explained: "These children were not born from the union of my spouse and I, but..."
"I know."
Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "Zerospermous eggs, right?"
Sarlayan has long heard that female adult dragons can give birth to infertile eggs by depleting their own vitality.
Unfortunately, dragons hatched from infertile eggs have limited potential.
Only a very small number of people have the possibility to undergo the coming-of-age ceremony and grow into dragons, and most dragon cubs can only stay in the young dragon stage for their entire lives.
Not only Melinthra, Onyxia was also forced to give birth to many infertile eggs when she was working under Deathwing to fill the ranks of the Black Dragon Legion's grassroots soldiers who had suffered heavy losses.
Although he is not the child of love born after marrying his partner, he is still his own child.
Seeing those black dragon cubs die one by one with her own eyes, Onyxia was still heartbroken.
It was also from that time on that she completely gave up on the increasingly crazier Deathwing.
According to Onyxia herself, none of the children she gave birth to survived healthy.
Either he was sent to the battlefield and became cannon fodder, or he became a stepping stone to advance the progress of the colorful dragon experiment.
Stellagosa, who was listening in the whole process, raised her eyebrows unnoticeably and looked at Melinsela who was obviously relieved.
'...I didn't expect that Valeera's jealous little person would guess her. The green dragon princess's motives were indeed impure. '
'What does Yin Sera mean? Interested in winning over Sarlayan? Or do you hope that through the combination of direct descendants and colorful dragons, you can give birth to more potential offspring, or even...successors? '
Stellagosa is not as lazy as Onyxia, nor is she often jealous like Valeera, nor is she a family favorite like Jaina and Tinargosa.
Most of the time, her presence in Sarlayan's little home is relatively sparse.
However, no one has ever doubted Stella Gosa's ability. It was her intention to lower her sense of existence.
Unless necessary, Stellagosa rarely spoke actively except to teach her sister a lesson, but she could see everything that happened around Sarlayan, and it was not easy for her to attract the attention of Sarlayan and those involved in the incident.
For example, right now, because Stellagosa was hiding aside without saying a word, Melinsela subconsciously ignored her existence, and finally revealed some of her true inner thoughts when she was "alone" with Sarlayan.
Although Sarlayan is often ridiculed by barrages for being emotionally slow, is this really the case?
The answer is no. Sarlayan's emotional intelligence is not low, but sometimes it is more useful to act stupid.
At this time, the barrage was also being posted like a carnival.
【Bold monster! I can tell at a glance that you are not human! 】
[Grass is not a human in the first place, Melinsela is a green dragon. 】
[Capturing Honest Man, what the brother meant by this was that he could see at a glance that Melinsela’s motives were impure. 】
[You have to repay the grace of saving your life with yourself, right? It's also quite 6. 】
[Is Sarlayan some kind of Tang Monk meat? Why are so many people targeting him? 】
[Just kidding, as a perfect and colorful dragon, Xiaosha is a hot commodity that may influence the future of the dragon clan. It would be weird not to place a bet in advance. 】
'Uh~'
After reading part of the barrage and hearing Stellagosa's meaningful hum through the soul link channel, Sarlayan quickly realized the problem.
"Ahem~ Be serious, we're still fighting... If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later."
"Haha~"
Stellagosa was not a jealous Valeela. She would never put Sarai'an down on emotional issues, and she would just laugh at Sarai'an's remarks.
That's right, Stella Gosa's hehe doesn't have a sinister meaning like Shatuo's barrage, it's just a simple smile.
Besides, as a dragon, Little Xingxing doesn’t think it’s unacceptable for Sarlayan to have multiple partners.
It is normal in the tradition of dragons that strong men have more partners. Typical examples are several dragon kings including Neltharion.
Just like Sarlayan said, we are still in a war period, which is not the time to discuss the love between children.
As the Chenfeng Legion, which had cleaned up the mess in the rear, returned and arrived with high mobility, the main force of Evil Branch, which was flanked by both sides, completely lost hope of making a comeback.
As the battle entered its final stage, Valeera, who had sneaked to the top of Zinzaro Mountain to check the situation up close, returned.
"Um?"
Valeera, who is extremely emotionally sensitive, smelled something amiss between Sarlayan and Melinthera.
"...Did anything happen while I was away?"
"Nothing." Sarlayan hurriedly interrupted Valeera's questioning and asked seriously: "Back to business, how is the situation on the top of the mountain?"
"Hmm..." Valeela hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to focus on the overall situation: "It's relatively stable. Hex is still struggling with Hakkar who is trying to get more blood food."
"However, as the battle at the foot of the mountain determines the outcome, Hex will most likely abandon the idea of luck and make a desperate move to lift the restrictions on Hakkar."
Valira smiled sarcastically: "This way you can at least die with us, right?"
