During the sacrificial ceremony, Lin Xiao took the opportunity to instruct the leader of Naga, telling her not to take a detour but to attack the core area of the Naga tribe in the middle of the Blackwater Swamp.
Big Naga understood. After a short rest, she adjusted the direction of the army and headed straight for the center of the Blackwater Swamp.
Along the way, the army did not encounter any other enemies except for the unintelligent beasts in the swamp. They passed by a small merman tribe, but they had all moved away, including the statue on the altar.
They went all the way to the west, crossed hundreds of kilometers, caught up with a frogman tribe, and finally arrived at the Sacred Mountain of the Naga on the fourth day.
The so-called Sacred Mountain was a pitch-black mountain peak about two thousand meters tall. It was particularly eye-catching in the flat swamp. Looking from afar, one could vaguely see a faint blood-red light pillar at the top of the mountain. Looking at the blood-red pillar, one could vaguely feel a faint pressure.
At the foot of the Sacred Mountain, there was only one tribe of the Naga Demigod. But now that the Naga Demigod had gathered all the believers, the Nagas, frogmen, mermen, lizardmen, and so on all over the swamp rushed over. At the moment, there were more than forty thousand Naga Demigod believers gathered at the foot of the Sacred Mountain.
It was fortunate that they had consecutively wiped out a few tribes. Otherwise, with the addition of ten thousand Naga Demigod believers, it would be even more difficult to fight.
Without any nonsense, there was no compromise when it came to the battle of beliefs. After a short rest, under Big Naga's command, the army of more than a hundred thousand mermen charged toward the Naga Demigod believers at the foot of the Sacred Mountain, and a chaotic battle instantly broke out.
In terms of numbers, the mermen outnumbered the Naga Demigod, but in terms of average strength, the Naga Demigod was stronger. Every Naga Demigod was only slightly weaker than Naga, and there were more than ten thousand Naga Demigods, while Naga Demigod only had seven hundred left.
But now, Naga Demigod had basically been promoted to Level 4 Shark Warriors, and their individual strength was far stronger than the Naga Demigods.
Most importantly, Lin Xiao's goal wasn't to kill all of the Naga demigod believers. His goal was to kill as many of them as possible. As long as he killed enough of them, the Naga demigod wouldn't be able to stabilize its injuries.
Maintaining a demigod's daily priesthood required a lot of believers. Any divine creature that condensed a priesthood to become a demigod would need a certain number of believers to maintain the priesthood.
In other words, faith was also fine. If he accumulated enough faith points, he would be able to maintain himself without any believers for a period of time.
Once the faith was insufficient, the clergy would not be able to be maintained, and the power of the demigod would begin to weaken. If this continued until a certain point, the clergy would collapse because there was no divine power to maintain it, and the demigod would degenerate into a divine creature.
Therefore, a divine creature could have no followers, but a demigod could not. They had to develop their own followers and protect their followers.
Normally, the Naga Demigod would've awakened and taken action by now. However, the Naga Demigod just so happened to be heavily injured this time. He didn't even have the time to take action.
According to Lin Xiao's prophecy, the Great Naga commanded the murloc army to launch a desperate attack on the Naga Demigod's followers, even at the expense of both sides.
Groups of Naga law enforcers were at the back. Once there were murloc deserters, they would be killed on the spot, forcing them to continue the attack.
At the same time, more than five hundred Level 4 Naga were mixed into the army and specifically killed the enemy's leader.

The Level 4 Naga Hunting Shark Warriors were far stronger than the Level 3 Naga Warriors. Be it Vitality, Strength, or Agility, they were all crushed.
Think about it, a warrior with eight times the Vitality, eleven times the Strength, and more than six times the Agility of ordinary people. When facing an opponent who was far weaker than him, the word "crushed" was not enough to describe it.
The five hundred Level 4 Naga Hunting Shark Warriors formed ten vanguards. It was like a hot knife piercing into butter. They didn't even need to use Salted Fish's Lunge. They killed their way through the formation of the Naga Demigod's followers without any resistance.
With these elite vanguards that far exceeded the current average combat strength, they forcefully separated the Naga Demigod's followers and nibbled away at them.
The merpeople army suffered great losses. After all, their individual strength was too weak. In less than half an hour, they had lost more than ten thousand people. However, the merpeople had more than double the number advantage. No matter how great the casualties were, they would not collapse for a while. In addition, many Naga Hunting Shark Warriors had greatly boosted the morale of the merpeople. They showed no signs of collapsing for a while. On the contrary, the Naga Demigod's followers were showing signs of collapsing under the continuous killing of their leaders.
The decapitation tactic itself was a huge blow to morale. No matter how elite an army was, they would not be able to hold on in the face of the continuous killing of their commanders in front of the formation. Moreover, the Naga Demigod's followers were a motley crew. They were completely under the command of their leaders. Once their leaders died, they would lose their commander and could only be numbly killed and killed.
An army with a commander and an army without a commander were two completely different things.
With the outstanding performance of his spawns, as well as Lin Xiao's godly prophecy to boost morale midway, the murloc army managed to persevere despite the terrifying battle casualty rate of close to thirty thousand deaths. They lasted even longer than the Naga half-god believers.
At this time, the merpeople army had reached a critical point. After all, most of the merpeople were not spawns but ordinary followers. Most of them were pan-believers. With the high pressure from the Naga Demigod, they barely managed to hold on. At this time, more and more merpeople began to flee. The army was showing signs of collapsing.
Fortunately, the Naga Demigod's followers collapsed earlier than them. Some of the fringe followers, such as the merpeople, lizardmen, and frogmen, had already begun to flee. As the casualties increased and the Naga Demigod did not respond for a long time, more and more followers collapsed and fled.
At the foot of the Sacred Mountain, the giant toad breathed in and out violently. Every time it could not help but want to jump out and kill, the Naga Demigod's majestic voice would ring in its ears.
"Guard the entrance of the Sacred Mountain. Do not leave!"
At a certain time, as the first Naga began to flee, the core spawns of the Naga Demigod collapsed. The other followers who were barely holding on with their devout faith instantly lost their mental support and began to flee in an organized manner.
From the beginning to the end, the giant toad lying at the foot of the Sacred Mountain did not participate in the battle. It just guarded the foot of the Sacred Mountain, ready to make a move. However, it did not participate in the battle and ignored the Naga Demigod's followers who were collapsing.
Once the enemy fled, the dawn of victory arrived. The morale of the merpeople that were about to collapse was restored. They cried out excitedly and chased after the fleeing Naga Demigod's followers.
"The outcome is decided!"
Lin Xiao, who had been watching this battle in the divine territory, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
