Rein faintly understood Weilun's plan.
Murlocs bully the weak and fear the strong, refraining from attacking robust humans if only a few of them are present, but upon seeing frail women and children, they immediately howl and, brandishing their weapons, commence the hunt.
Therefore, Weilun intended to use the lean Matteo as bait to lure out the murlocs from their tribe and then encircle and kill them.
Rein nodded, a very prudent scheme, allowing for an immediate retreat should any contingency arise.
Wouldn't it work to just attack the murloc tribe directly?
It's not that it wouldn't work, but that it would be pointless!
When murlocs encounter insurmountable enemies or danger, they will immediately dive into nearby waters, either to gather more murlocs for a counterattack or hide in the water until the formidable enemies leave.
