Unspoken Understanding

Of course, an inference was only an inference.

Xu Yuyan and Varus wouldn't act rashly based on a mere possibility. What if it was a Demacian trap?

They needed to investigate further and prepare for the facts.

So Xu Yuyan and Varus split up.

Xu Yuyan stayed in Nazumah, remotely directing the Sun God Cult's contact with the Demacian flanking force.

At Xu Yuyan's request, Varus slipped out of the city and headed south along the Barren Hills Mountains to confirm whether the information was true.

Then, in Zurita, Varus saw the Mulhgra carrying moonstone weapons.

Once he confirmed that the weapons in the hands of these mutes were indeed made of moonstone, Varus was completely baffled. Moonstone weapons were never common. Even at the height of the Shuriman Empire, the personal guards of the Ascended legions might not have been equipped with weapons of this caliber.

Where had these Mulhgra gotten so many moonstone weapons?

There was no answer to that question.

The only thing Varus could confirm was that the Demacian flanking force hadn't given them false information, and that he really did need to be wary of these people.

What a nuisance!

All of a sudden, Varus understood the Demacian flanking force's intentions a little better.

When the Mulhgra finally left Zurita and began marching toward Nazumah, Xu Yuyan and Varus met up again.

They could confirm that the information provided by the Demacian flanking force was true: a Mulhgra army carrying a large number of moonstone weapons was on its way to Nazumah.

What's more, the force really was carrying a large number of documents from the Solar Sect. Meanwhile, in Nazumah, the naive Blake still thought that the Lunar Legion had come to help him.

The encirclement was imminent. If the Sun God Cult didn't
