Chapter 161: Sorrow
In fact, in the midst of this flame of revenge, Aloy does not want to appear and should not appear.
As the priest of Naga Kapolos, Aloy should have insisted on "non-interference, non-restriction, and non-participation" in the internal strife of the pirates.
Bilgewater has an ancient convention that the material goes to the leader and the spirit goes to the mother snake.
In other words, Eloy's warning had wandered on the edge of the old covenant of Bilgewater.
But when Planck was about to die, Aloy didn't hold back.
Because, neither for Aloy nor for Naga Kapoulos, Planck could not die.
Without the Zaun Revolution and the formation of the Twin Cities Community, Planck would be doomed – if only Bilgewater had another leader.
But now that Zaun and Piltover have been effectively integrated, it means that Naga Kapolos's nemesis is expanding!
It must be dealt with immediately!
You know, Naga Kapoulos has always regarded himself as the "God of Movement", and his ultimate goal is to master all the runes related to movement - and Cana has a part of the power of the storm, which Naga Kapolos can't get around!
So when the Twin Cities Community was formed, the sect of Naga Kapoulos was already planning a new action.
Just like the pirates who besieged Piltover before, this time Naga Kapoulos needs his own followers to fight for himself.
However, throughout Bilgewater, the majority of Naga Kapoulos are pan-believers - they say they believe in the snake mother and the bearded lady, but in reality they are a group of egoists who want to wage a religious war, which is nothing more than a dream.
In this case, Naga Kapoulos needs to take advantage of Planck.
Aloy's warning was a private act, but with Naga Kapolos' permission.
For Aloy, early warning was to prepare Planck – but in Naga Kapoulos's view, this advance preparation was actually helping Sarah.
If it weren't for Eloi's early release of the news that caused unsteadiness, Planck wouldn't necessarily need to be executed publicly (and Aloy himself was completely unaware of this).
Naga Kapoulos's plan was for Planck to suffer a big loss, give himself a trial, and then gain a great favor.
Once Planck survived this time and regained control of Bilgewater with the help of Aloy...... When the time came, Naga Kapoulos offered to plunder Zaun and Piltover, how could Planck refuse?
As for Eloy's role in this, it is not so important.
However, the crux of the matter is that Planck can suffer, but not die!
In Naga Kapoulos's plan, Planck should be seriously injured, so that he has to accept his own help, accept his own trial, and use his own power to take revenge and become his puppet.
If Planck died...... Then there's no play.
So just as Sarah was about to shoot, Aloy showed up.
The twisted tentacles stopped the vengeful bullet.
……………………
"Do you know what you're doing, priest?!" Looking at Aloy, who was protecting Planck in front of her, Sarah's eyes widened, "According to the ancient agreement, you have no right to interfere with Bilgewater's private revenge!" ”
"That's true, I didn't interfere." Aloy narrowed his snake eyes slightly, "Your revenge is over, and the next trial and verdict need to be handed over to the snake mother." ”
"You're arguing - Planck isn't dead!" Sarah raised her twin guns again, "A tooth for a tooth - he killed my parents, and I want revenge with death!" ”
"Enough!" Aloy summoned tentacles to restrain Sarah, "You've ruined his reign - vengeance is done!" ”
The cold feeling of Naga Kapolos's tentacles made Sarah seem to calm down a bit.
Looking at Planck, who had left under the cover of Aloy, Miss Doom became a little depressed.
Now, she finally understood what the mysterious mage meant by what she had said.
If it weren't for the help of that mage today...... Maybe the sea beast priest didn't need to show up at all?
It's ironic to say.
Bilgewater is said to be the freest place in all of Valoran, but in this place where he is so free that he is almost indulgent, he can't complete his revenge.
Aloy let Planck go.
Sarah stood alone on the roaring dock, looking around.
Planck's reign looked to be crumbling.
As for how it actually is...... And who knows?
The only thing Sarah can confirm is that the current order of Bilgewater has been completely destroyed.
Planck's three gangs, Iron Hook, Red Hat, and Scarlet Blade, are leaderless.
Sarah knew that her immediate priority was not to be emotional, nor to be indignant, but to hurry back to the Siren and lead her men to start grabbing the territory.
It's not like it's out of the blue.
If he had mastered all of Bilgewater before Planck made a comeback, not even Naga Kapoulos would have been able to do anything to himself, though it now seemed that he might be facing the potential hostility of the Temple.
Shaking her head, Sarah put away her guns and turned back to her flagship.
Lonely and sad.
Aloy also leaves - although Planck is not leaving in the direction of the temple, she believes that Planck will come to find her.
Because he is his only hope.
