Esta, the leader of the snake assassin caste, had been communicating with Zabita through a private telepathic channel maintained by a spirit snake.
As soon as Zabita made the first move, she and her snakes began to move.
The elephants were large and had an advantage in terms of sight. They could see almost anything that tried to move toward them with how high up their eyes were.
And even if they didn't see it, another elephant would see it and they would alert each other about the danger.
This was why the snakes needed the elephants to be distracted for them to have a chance of getting close enough to land a fatal strike.
Esta, a green vegetation snake, had the most potent venom of her kind which was quite controversial to the nature of her power.
Usually, the most potent venom would come from a War snake, but the war snake they had was not powerful enough to be here for this operation.
