Chapter 546 [Zandala Must Prove]
Zandalar Island.
Zudasa.
The shadow of war has always haunted the hearts of the trolls. Yesterday there was news that an orc had reached the moat, and today there was news that an orc had begun to attack the city walls.
Even if these are rumors, they are not true - because such similar rumors were already everywhere in the city half a month ago.
Ordinary Zandarar trolls have long been terrified. Even if these were rumors, the priests did not stand up to refute them.
Not only did they not stand up to refute the rumors, but the Zandalar Navy, one of the most proud forces of the Zandalar trolls, even stood up and said to the trolls:
"The Golden Fleet is happy to help any troll. You can leave Zudasa for a while and go to a safe place. When Zudasa is safe, the Zandalar trolls can return to their homeland. β
This is excessive.
At least in the eyes of Tarangi and the priests loyal to her. Some of the old priests, who were conservative and unwilling to give up their interests in Zudasa, were even more dissatisfied with this.
this day.
There are many such sacrifices to find Princess Tarangi, hoping that she will stand up and refute the rumors - Zudasa will never fall, please stay in the city in peace, the orcs will never come in!!
This is already necessary.
For half a month, although there are no official statistics. But the priests believed that there were at least tens of thousands of Zandalar troll civilians during this time, who boarded the ships of the Golden Fleet and sailed west of Zandalara.
Most of the adventurers who arrived in Zandalar with the Desert King, nominally helping Zandalar against the orcs, have gone to trick Zandalar into troll immigration.
It is said that it is because the Neo-Zur Empire, which these priests will never recognize, has issued a mission to adventurers - to pull troll immigrants to Tanaris, and there is a nice reward!
Staying in the city and doing this kind of thing is more rewarding and safer for adventurers than fighting the murderous orcs outside the city.
"It's already very obvious! The King of the Desert is not here to help us, he is here to dig up the roots of Zandalar - when all the civilians have fled to the desert, will Zandalar still be Zandalara? β
A priest was dancing loudly in front of Princess Tarangi, and he was emotional.
"This behavior must be stopped. Otherwise, before the orcs entered the city, the civilians would have run out! β
"Even if the orcs hadn't come in, Zandalar would no longer be Zandalara!"
"The Zandalar trolls who went to the desert, the Zandalar trolls who left Zudasa, can they still be Zandalara?"
ββ¦β¦β
The priest with an excited voice said what the priest around him seemed to agree with, and several priests nodded their heads in agreement.
To these sacrifices, who were willing to obey the demands of their own command, Princess Tarangi rubbed her swollen head.
The priests of the Tonna and Tiu factions in the cities of Zur and Zudasa, they are already - "the heart of Ghani is known to all trolls".
This phrase is a proverb of the Zandalar Empire, which means the mind of Ghani, the god of scavengers, and all Zandalar trolls know it!
What is the mind of the fine-jawed dragon Loa? Garbage, more valuable garbage, more garbage, the better!
The thoughts of Zor and the sacrifices of the pro-desert faction are now as obvious as Ghani's!
In fact, Tarangi thinks that the mind of Zur and these trolls has been evident since a few years ago!
It's just that after the orc war, the actions and thoughts of these guys became more and more blatant!
They have even begun to openly use one of the most powerful forces to accomplish their unspeakable troll schemes!
Pulling the Zendalar trolls into the desert with the Golden Fleet is a shame that Zur has done!
Tarangi grinded his little fangs, and his heart was bitter: Zur and these pro-desert priests, they want to hollow out Zandalar to fatten the king of the desert!
"We must stop the practice of the prophets and the priests!" Tarangi finally couldn't take it anymore, and after more than a year of shrinking, she decided to stand up to Zur and the Desert King.
She made this decision without even consulting her biggest backer, Lezan.
Her Royal Highness felt that the Supreme Loa, who hated the King of the Desert and Zur so much, would definitely support her approach.
"Rangi Sacrifice." Her Royal Highness called the name of the priest who had just spoken passionately, "Go and inform all the sacrifices against the Prophet at once, assemble and we will go to the Prophet together!" β
The priests rejoiced.
Tarangi added, "But remember! At this moment, the great enemy is present, and the sacrificers must not have bad actions after they gather. We are to use politeness and righteousness to get the Prophet to cancel his practices, not violence and bloodshed. β
"There can be no more blood inside Zandalara! The orcs are out there, what we have to do is unity, unity, and unity! β
Even if Tarangi wants to stop Zur's plans, she still knows what she can and can't do.
She wanted to engage in a moderate opposition, and she didn't want the current Zudasa of the great enemy to be in a difficult situation.
Couldn't Zur be leading the trolls against the orcs in front of her, and she, Tarangi, was dragging the prophet behind her back?
Tarangi couldn't do such a thing.
Although what she is doing now, in a sense, she is already getting rid of the hindrance of the prophet.
Although Her Royal Highness the princess has a view of the overall situation, she is still too immature after all, she can't bear her thoughts, and her political means are too shallow.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness Princess Tarangi was finally willing to stand up against Zur head-on, the priests felt that they had finally obtained the righteous title for the trolls.
They looked at each other with joy in their eyes, and Tarangi didn't want to hold the prophet back.
They don't care about this, although the orcs are ferocious, it will be terrifying to enter the city.
But no matter how terrifying it is, it is not terrifying enough to let them lose power.
Compared to the orcs who might be able to negotiate - these anti-Zur priests felt that the orcs were most likely willing to negotiate. After all, those orcs are willing to accept even the skeleton of blood trolls.
Zendalar trolls can also be allies of orcs - if they are made sovereign.
There are corrupt elements in every force and race. Even Kadore and Delaney can corrode, not to mention the interior of the Zandalar Empire, which has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years.
A large part of the vested interests within the empire have long since lost the ferocity of the troll clan.
Zul's change in Zanshur a few years ago cleansed a large part of this part of the sacrifice, but there is no way to clean it.
The remainder, horrified by the ferocity and terror of the Prophet, chose to hide, chose to semble themselves in the face of Zor.
This time the enemy is in the present, and Zur seems to have no time to care. Tarangi was smart but still too tender, and the priests finally couldn't help but jump out.
Looking at Tarangi, who clenched his fists and looked determined, the sacrificers were happy in their hearts.
The troll priest named Rangi was about to boast about Tarangi when the door to the meeting room was suddenly pushed open.
The High Priestess of Paku, the Elder Demon Lord of the Zandalar Nationals, stood outside the door with a blank face along with the High Priest of Gunk, Chief War Druiroti.
Behind the golden boy and girl girl, who have recently become famous in Zandallah, are a group of Tonna Daywalkers and Tiu Moon Walkers, two elite Zandalar guards formed by the Prophet.
"In the name of the regent Prophet Zur, head of the Council of Zandara Zanshuri, all Loa sacrifices must arrive at the front line of Zanshur this eveningβ"
Ral said with a blank face.
Chief War Druirodi immediately continued, "That is to say, all of you in the house, except for Her Royal Highness the Princess, must arrive at the front line of Zanshur tonight. β
Looking at these two troll army bosses and high priests of Loa, who had recently become Zur's left arm and right arm, the old priests in the secret room had panicked expressions on their faces.
This made Tarangi think that they were worried about Zur's punishment, and Her Royal Highness the princess thought that it was her own responsibility, and that it was her own responsibility and that she had to bear it.
"Ral! Lotty! "Her Royal Highness the Princess stepped forward." Things here have nothing to do with them! I didn't expect you to be on the side of the Prophet! Spare them and let me go to the prophet to make it clear. β
After facing Tarangi, Ral finally smiled politely, but did not speak.
The object of the national husband's ambiguity, the war druid Roti responded to Her Royal Highness the princess on his behalf: "Your Highness, you don't have to do this. β
She pointed to the priests in the chamber: "They are all on the list of prophets. β
Tarangi's eyes widened.
"A list of prophets? What does Zur want to do?!! In desperation, Her Royal Highness called out the names of the prophets.
"A list of those who went to the front." Lal explained simply.
"Will those who disagree with the Prophet be sent to the front to die by him?! Who does Zur think he is!! What is he trying to do!! "Tarangi was really angry.
Luo Ti cut off her anger with a single word.
"Me and Ral are on the list." She said.
Tarangi opened his mouth.
She looked at Ral and Lottie.
Lal explained softly, "This is not just the meaning of the prophets, it is the meaning of Loamen. The Prophet prepares to organize the forces of Zandalar to launch a counteroffensive against the orc army. Loamon agreedβ"
The Sorcerer Lord looked at the frightened priests in the chamber and continued:
"This is the will of Loaam. You can pray to your own Loa now, and they will tell you. It was a counter-offensive initiated by His Majesty Lezan, with the consent of His Majesty Gunk and His Majesty Paku, and with the approval of the other Loa Majestys, and organized by the Prophet. β
"All the Loa sacrifices, all the Zanshuli sacrifices must go to the front in person." The war druid was expressionless.
"And that's not all."
Lal sang a double reed.
"All Zandalar trolls who have the ability to fight, must stand up. Two Loa have already died to protect Zandalara, and now it's the turn of the Zandalar trolls to prove it to their Majesty. β
"Zandalar is still the same Zandalar of the year!"
