The plan begin

If there was one thing that Sobek didn't lack, it was inventiveness. One of the few things he had inherited from the human part of him was the art in which human beings best excelled above all other creatures: malice.

Humans knew how to exploit the feelings of the masses in their favor, especially the powerful. The people were an important weapon, perhaps the most important, and with the right words it was easy to incite. Or with the right actions.

Sobek knew that in an open fight he and his army would lose miserably. They were by no means ready to face a coalition made up of all human armies. If they just revealed themselves, it would all be over in no time. But if the people had sided with them... then things changed.
