Chapter 1304 I'm waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?
Kotek also knew that his position was unfair. As long as Sursis, the undisputed holder of the Setaris Scroll, remained alive for a day, no matter how he shouted, the snake people would not recognize the legitimacy of his so-called "Great Emperor".
What worried Kotek the most was not that Sulsis was not dead, but that someone of unknown origin came to help the devotees.
Judging from the fact that the opponent's assassination team easily killed hundreds of people, this person who intervened from unknown sources was definitely not a good person.
But now, the arrow is ready and the arrow has to be fired.
Even though he was feeling uneasy, Kotek could only bite the bullet and launch the rebellion according to the original plan.
In his words, this is to allow the snake people to embark on a new future. They can no longer be attached to the long-dead Setalis and rely on their own strength to build a snake people empire that can compete with the Zandalari trolls.
Just as Kotek was anxiously thinking about the follow-up plan, the spy who stayed in the Temple of the Devotees sent him the latest news.
Although Sulsis did not die, he still suffered fatal injuries in the ambush. A black-haired foreign woman happened to pass by and rescued him.
According to the internal observation, Sulsis's injuries are definitely incurable, and his death is only a matter of time.
It's a pity that Kotek's spy didn't survive long enough to deliver the second, more important piece of information.
While Warwick was busy preparing his army for war and appeasing people's hearts, Onyxia kept a clear eye on the movements inside and outside the Temple of the Devotees.
Just as the spy was about to deliver the message again, Onyxia, who had been paying attention to this, caught him.
"Trying to be a spy with me? You are too young."
Sarlayan temporarily stayed in the quiet room to continue taking care of Sulsis, who had just escaped from danger.
Considering the current panic-stricken state of the Temple of the Devotees, the experienced Onyxia predicted that there would definitely be spies of the Unbelievers in the temple.
As expected, it did not exceed the expectations of Princess Black Dragon, the most senior spy.
After being thrown in front of Warwick, the spy tried to commit suicide by swallowing poison, but was unable to do so under the watchful eye of Onyxia, who was already on guard.
The corner of Warwick's mouth twitched as he looked at the unbelieving spy in front of him. His body movements and demeanor were completely inconsistent.
Warwick could tell that this spy had long been determined to die, but unfortunately, he was unable to control his body at this moment, and was still tap dancing stupidly on the spot.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Black Dragon, this is you..."
"yes."
Onyxia, who has mastered the power of shadow, plays with the Blade of the Dark Empire in her hand with a half-smile.
"If you have any questions, please do it as soon as possible. This guy's soul has very strong resistance. It's not difficult to break free from control, but he will burn out his brain due to excessive resistance in 10 minutes at most."
"...Although this doesn't make any sense to us, the worst thing we can do is ask Sarlayan to come over and cast a necromancy spell to continue the torture."
Warwick smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course it would be best to ask a living person. I have also heard about necromancy. If the spiritual confrontation is too fierce during life, it seems that it will affect the integrity of the soul, right?"
Onyxia shrugged: "That's why I asked you to hurry up. Don't waste time. Ask as soon as possible."
…
The spy maintained a desperate and angry expression throughout the entire process. His body was not controlled by his brain at all, and he revealed all the information he knew.
After learning that Kotek had received the news that Sulsis was seriously injured and dying, Warwick, instead of getting angry, put his chin on his hand and showed a thoughtful expression.
'Oh, you don't have any outstanding talents? You are too modest.'
The wily Onyxia could see what Warwick was planning. It was nothing more than Shalayan's plan to build the plank road openly and covertly, using wrong information to mislead Kotek, so that he could pass the plan with all his strength.
Counterattack and complete the victory in one fight.
Now that Warwick had already made a plan, Onyxia, as an outsider, was happy to take her time and did not give any hint to him.
There must be more than one spy sent by Kotek to infiltrate the faithful, but none of the other spies have as high a status as this one and can obtain important information that Warwick ordered to be tightly sealed.
But... it's actually still not high enough. At least he couldn't figure out what Onyxia's true form was, and dug a sinkhole for his "Emperor" that could never be filled.
After settling the spy matter, Warwick announced in public that Sulsis's injuries had stabilized and he would regain consciousness early tomorrow morning, but it would take about two months to recover.
This timely good news finally washed away the uneasiness and anxiety inside and outside the temple. After learning that Sursis's injury was not serious, the people spontaneously regarded the previously spread news as fake news, and Kotek's public opinion war was over.
Can reap results.
As Sharlayan expected, out of the same hatred of the enemy, the believers were furious at Kothek's ruthless assassination of the prestigious Sursis.
The soldiers on the front line held off the first wave of attacks by the Faithless Legion with high morale, and the snakemen at the rear were also motivated to provide sufficient logistical supplies for the front line troops.
"Sure enough." Onyxia said with a hint of sarcasm: "Using external battles to deflect internal conflicts is a classic trick that will never go out of style. Look, isn't Kotek's target set up perfectly?"
Through Onyxia's silent investigation, Sharlayan learned more details about the snakefolk tribe.
Although Warwick and Sulsis had the same political views in general, they still had a lot of friction in many details.
After Sulsis was seriously injured, the Temple of the Devotees was deliberately guided by the Unbelievers' spies, and some people suspected that Warwick directed and acted on his own.
As the truth was revealed and a large number of spies whose identities were exposed by their superiors were arrested, public opinion in the Temple of the Devotees took a 180-degree turn.
"Don't be happy too early."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the strong request of the snake healers, Sarlayan completed the shift with them, climbed to the top of the temple with Onyxia, and looked out from the heights
looking at the snaking canyon in the distance.
Sarlayan said meaningfully: "Once the situation cannot be opened up on the front line, Kotek, an ambitious man, will most likely choose to take a desperate risk."
Onyxia raised her eyebrows slightly and asked knowingly: "You mean, he will gather the remaining troops to attack the Pyramid of Atuaman?"
"Yes."
Sarlayan was not dazzled by the momentary victory, and still analyzed calmly: "At the moment when Setalis has not yet been resurrected, once Misrax is resurrected, it will undoubtedly be a dimensionality reduction for the believers who lack top-level combat power.
Strike."
"Haha" Onyxia sneered and complained: "Is that guy Kotek so confident that Misrax will listen to him?"
"It's not self-confidence." A cold light flashed in Sarlayan's eyes: "He has long been mentally prepared. Once the war goes wrong, he will completely turn to G'huun in order to get Mislax's help."
"Otherwise, why would he think that the Snakemen under his leadership can be on an equal footing with the Zandalari Empire, which has a profound foundation?"
Onyxia shook her head and commented: "Seek the skin of a tiger before you overestimate your own capabilities."
"Okay." Sarlayan smiled nonchalantly: "Such careerists who don't recognize their abilities are everywhere in Azeroth, and he is not the only one missing."
"Warwick is not just talking without practice. With the intelligence support we provide, Kotek will not be so easy to jump over the wall."
"This trip to Zandalari has been delayed for a long time. After the situation of the snake people's civil war is basically clear, Laden's injuries should be able to recover initially. We should transfer to Northrend to prepare for the upcoming war.
The final preparations are made.”
…
There was a joke in the barrage that Sarlayan found very interesting.
I'm waiting for the skill CD, what are you waiting for?】
The thoughtful Loken overestimated the number of Titan creations in Wintergrasp, and also overestimated the high-end combat power that Sharlayan had at his disposal at the time.
Loken thought that all this was planned by Lai Deng and that it was a premeditated plan.
For this reason, Loken, who felt insecure in his heart, could only continue to hoard troops like a hamster with his head shrunk, hysterically throwing a large amount of mineral resources into the Creator Engine.
Loken's stressful response made Sharlayan dumbfounded.
If he had mobilized all his troops to attack from the beginning, it would have been impossible to win with the combat power Wintergrasp had accumulated at that time. At most, he could only maintain a balance of power, and the probability of defeat would be greater.
As time went by, Thorim and Azadas successively led their respective armies to Wintergrasp for reinforcements. At this time, Wintergrasp already had the ability to compete with Loken's steel army.
Limited by the acquisition of mineral resources, the growth rate of Loken's steel army has slowed down significantly, and the Nalak'sha Engine, which has the logistics support of most of Azeroth, is still rampaging.
In other words, the longer time passes, the lower the chance of Loken successfully guarding Ulduar. He has squandered his advantage.
Sarlayan, who was standing on the top of the temple, looked towards Northrend in the north with a half-smile: "Loken, I'm waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?"
