Ever since Visifirne and Devos raised their flags of rebellion, the Forsworn people have been marching forward with almost no obstacles along the way.
As the Forsworn army continued to advance further, more and more Kyrians were awakened against the ruthless rules of the Ascension Bastion, and people continued to join their ranks with passion in their chests.
When there are more people, there will inevitably be a mixed situation.
At first, Visifurne and Devos only recruited the Forsworn who also fell into the sky, but as the number of soldiers increased, they had no choice but to lower their standards.
To this day, there are a large number of Forsworn, Kyrian, and Stewards in the Forsworn camp.
Such a complex personnel composition is a huge test for the overall management ability of those who control the army.
Kyrian's main duty is not to fight, but to attract souls.
In barrage terms, these birdmen are just black guides who watch people serve food. Their combat experience cannot be compared with the professional security personnel of Maldraxxus.
The Ascension Bastion has been at peace for a long time, and all the Greens, including Shengjie, have very little combat experience and have almost no chance to participate in actual combat.
Of course, they have no experience in coordinating large armies, so the current chaotic situation in Heroes' Rest is not surprising.
For Devos and Visifurne, who raised the army with the help of their direct subordinates, the ones they trusted the most were still the Forsworn with black wings. The Kyrians and Stewards who joined later served more as cannon fodder.
.
Therefore, the four Sarlayans sneaked into the military camp without much hindrance. The black wings and dark skin (illusion) on their backs were proof of their "loyalty".
Thanks to the rebels' indulgence of the Forsworn, Valeera's intelligence gathering in the camp went very smoothly.
If it were in a material world like Azeroth, Sharlayan would definitely choose to operate at night when his vision was dim.
Unfortunately, the night of promotion to the fortress will never come, and the four of them can only bite the bullet and carry out further investigations under the bright light of day.
By virtue of their status as Brahmins who were also Forsworn, there was no obstacle to Sarlayan and his party's inquiring about information in the camp.
As more and more people were asked, the four gradually discovered some clues about the undercurrent.
The winged Forsworn have the best treatment among the rebels, but in fact, these Brahmins are not all of the same mind.
There is obviously some divergence between Visifurne's men and Devos's men.
Compared to the calm and steady Visifurne, Devos's subordinates appear to be more aggressive, and most of the quarrels between the Forsworn are initiated by them.
I don't know if Devos intentionally indulged, but the Forsworn from the Loyal Fortress unscrupulously mocked Vesiphone's subordinates as cowards and cowards.
The four Sarlayans, who had already developed a powerful tool to guide public opinion in Quel'Thalas, could easily see that Devos was deliberately using this to build momentum for himself and pave the way for a tough fight to seize the leadership of the army in the future.
Valeera and Stellagosa initially thought the Forsworn were crazed and evil.
But after actually coming into contact with these people, they discovered that this was not the case, at least not entirely.
The Forsworn under Visifurne had a very clear goal. The reason why they started the rebellion was just to force Gristia to reconsider those outdated rules. They did not really want to overthrow the eldest daughter's rule over the Ascension Bastion.
Therefore, the actions of this group of Forsworn were relatively restrained, not as crazy as Devos's men, clamoring to kill Gristia and bring a new dawn to Ascension Bastion.
If you think about it carefully, you can come to the conclusion that without the help of the Eternals with equal combat power, killing Gristia is just a dream and is impossible to achieve.
During the course of their investigation, one name was mentioned several times by the Forsworn of the Devos faction.
A faithful hand, Lesonia.
Every saint will have a capable assistant beside him, and they will be named the Hand of OO.
Lesonya, the loyal hand, is Devos's right-hand man. She is the auxiliary officer that Valeera saw behind Devos before.
[Lesonia, I still remember this name. This guy has taken refuge with the warden a long time ago. The fall of Devos in the original history may have something to do with her. 】
[Speaking of this... I remember that Hand of Purity Erydia and Lesonia seemed to be soul-bound to each other? Could it be that the Fallen Heaven in the Temple of Purity is also related to Lesonia? 】
Sarlayan's eyes moved when he saw this barrage: "What is soul bond?"
[This is a special ceremony for promotion to the fortress. You can think of it as a soul link between close friends. 】
[Two people who have signed a soul bond can feel part of each other's emotions and can easily be affected by each other.]
[In the original history, Erydia, the Hand of Purity, was tortured because of Lysonia's fall to heaven, and almost turned black with her several times. 】
There was a thoughtful look in Sarlayan's eyes: "It turns out there is this connection between the Temple of Purity and the Fortress of Loyalty... I probably understand."
After sorting out the information he currently had, Sarlayan came up with a guess that he didn't know whether it was true or not.
First of all, there is no doubt that Lesonya, the loyal hand, secretly surrendered to the warden many years ago, and 80% of the fallen angels who are loyal to Saint Jedworth have an inseparable relationship with her.
On the other hand, through the soul bond with Erydia, the Hand of Purity, Lysonia subtly affected Erydia's emotions and took the opportunity to bury the seeds of doubt in the Temple of Purity.
With Gristia's overly tough counter-revolutionary action as the trigger, Vesiphone's doubts were magnified infinitely, and she was eventually furious.
After sorting out the ins and outs, the next thing to do is very simple.
Capture Lysonia, the source of the Fallen Wave, and explain the inside story clearly to Devos and Vessey Furniture, who are still able to rein in the situation.
"Here comes the problem."
Valeera said with a headache: "Lesonia's temporary residence is next to DeVos. It is very tightly guarded. I am not sure that I can sneak in without alerting the guards."
"If we make a commotion during the execution of the beheading operation, Devos will be able to rush over immediately to join the fight, and may even involve more Forsworn at Lysonia's instigation."
"Once we are surrounded by a large number of Forsworn led by Devos and Visifurne, it will be difficult for us to successfully break through even with Oni as our arrow."
"Hmm..." Sarlayan frowned and weighed: "Otherwise, DeVos, under the constant instigation of Lysonia, should soon make up his mind to eradicate Visifurne. We might as well wait until then to catch him.
A current situation."
Onyxia nodded in agreement: "Once Devos and Visifurne fight, she will no longer have time to protect Lysonia. We can easily take down the culprit and take away everything she has."
Make it public."
According to Valeela's investigation, Lysonia has the strength of a high-level legend.
If they fight her one on one, Sharlayan, Valeela and Stellagosa will not be able to win in a short time.
But... if she were swarmed unexpectedly, Lesonia might not be able to hold on for even 5 seconds.
"Ok, deal."
Sarlayan finally made the final decision: "Valeela, please do me a favor during this period and closely monitor every move of Devos and Lysonia."
"Once DeVos makes up his mind and is ready to take action, immediately use the soul link to inform us of the news."
Valeera: "No problem. You must first think about how to explain it to Vesifurne, Eludia and other high-ranking rebels."
…
Sarlayan's guess based on the available intelligence was correct.
The longer time passes, the greater the variability.
No one knows when the Eternals in other realms will receive news of the rebellion in Fortress, and no one knows when Gristia will regain her strength.
In order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, Lesonia became more and more eager to urge and encourage DeVos.
On the fifth day after the four Sarlayans infiltrated the rebels, Valeela suddenly received urgent news.
Devos and Lysonia left the small courtyard where they lived, fully armed, and strode straight towards Visipherne's residence.
"It seems they are planning to take action."
Sharlayan was currently playing the Hearthstone card game with Stellagosa in the hut assigned to them, and Valeela's notice came at the right time.
Under Stellagosa's speechless glare, Sarlayan took away the cards on the table without changing his expression, pretending that he was not the one who almost lost just now.
"Ahem~ You two, adjust your condition first, we are about to do a big job."
