Chapter 908: Calixe
Jeno's words reminded Azir of the Great War of the Void that he had seen in the history books, a protracted war that sacrificed more than half of the Empire's Celestial warriors and continuously invested hundreds of thousands of human troops before finally melting and sealing the rift in the Void.
And now, he thought he might understand why this battle was so hard. They did a stupid thing and sent too much nourishment to the Void, which caused the Void to fight more and more.
But there was no way, there were too many monsters pouring out at the beginning of the war, and if it weren't for the human army to contain the monsters in Acacia, the Celestial warriors alone would not be able to stop them all.
"Thank you, I didn't think it through this time. You're a real thinker, and I'm still concerned about my face. "Azir's first sincere apology to someone else was very rare, and Jeno's reminder prevented a major decision-making mistake.
If this blunder materializes, it will be a serious blow to his prestige.
"You're welcome, let's get on the boat and go straight away."
Jeno accepts Azir's apology, and the next thing is to leave together, and it's not good for anyone to make the relationship too stiff.
Azir nodded, wielding his blade to summon Nasus, and the two of them followed Jeno alongside the Abyss.
It was the Emperor's secret expedition.
Shurima once had her own floating chariots, hundreds of which were dispatched against the 10,000 rebels of Acacia alone, and the heavy carriages of the chariots were the size of a three-masted galleon, in addition to hundreds of thousands of undefeated armies and nine Celestial warriors.
But these chariots have been exhausted by the Void Wars and the Darkspawn Wars, and now only the broken, old, millennia decaying antique chariots can be found in the sand.
Rather than riding on such an unreliable chariot, Azir still felt that it was more reliable to ride on Jeno's new ship.
The two Ascendants didn't have a gigantic, so the Abyss could still bear their weight.
It's just that when they are three meters tall and enter the room, they need to bend down and walk into the corridor, and the room suitable for human habitation seems to them to be too small, like a dog and an eagle are forced into a rat's cage.
Azir and Nasus glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and returned to the spacious deck to bask in the sun, still more comfortable.
The Abyss had already sailed to Calixe, and when he saw Azir on the deck looking at his city from afar with the eagle eyes of the scorching sun, Jeno leaned over and said, "Actually, this time to kill the Void Monster is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity. ”
"Oh? Where's the opportunity? Azir asked curiously.
He had been there for Varus, and he couldn't think of anything else he could gain other than bringing him back. Could it be that you can still reap the spoils of war in the Void? He'd rather keep them underground forever than bring them back.
"Your conquest is not what all Shurima want, some want unity, others don't want to change the status quo. But if Calixe, if the area is cleared and the area is allowed to pass, that's a good thing that everyone is all good for. ”
"If we can solve this problem that has plagued Shurima for more than 3,000 years, it will naturally be a good thing that will be sung through the ages." Azir could already imagine him being praised by thousands of people.
"You will gain influence because of this, and as long as you use it well, it is not a dream to make people soar." Jano said slowly, throwing out a tempting idea, "It's not even possible to use the Ascension Ritual to help the Darkspawn reforge their bodies. ”
If Azir's body was still human, he must have been congested with excitement at this moment.
"Can you really help the Darkspawn reforge his body?" Azir asked him excitedly.
"I'm not sure, I just think it's a possibility. The solar disc is your thing, and you know whether it will work or not. Jeno shrugged and turned away.
He had planted a seed in Azir's heart, and Azir was willing to help him work.
What a part-time emperor!
After Jeno left, Azir kept thinking about it, and the obsession with helping the Darkspawn reforge his body lingered. The more he thought about it, the more reliable he became, and he couldn't hold back the tremor that he wanted to talk about, and found Nasus.
"Nasus, you know more about the Darkspawn than I do, do you think that's possible?"
"The Darkspawn is trapped in weapons and can only rely on flesh and blood. But this physical body is not his own after all, and no one knows whether it can be restored to its original state, and no one has ever tried it like this. But I am sure that the holy light of the solar disk can absolutely purify the spirit of the Void erosion. ”
"As long as it alleviates their suffering, that's enough." Azir let out a long sigh and looked to the east, his eyes full of pride.
……
Alone, with a longbow in hand, Varus stood at the top of the dunes, looking down at the bones of the gods.
These huge bones, like mountains, he could easily pass through the gaps between their ribs...... It used to be all his compatriots. Not only humans, but even those abominable monsters, will not spare his compatriots.
"My people, who once destroyed the world, have only found a skeleton. Don't...... Is the time of the Darkspawn completely over? He said.
"Over time, even the heaviest horrors fade away."
The voice echoed in his head and he couldn't ignore it.
Whose voice is this? Kaye or Valmao?
"No race that forgets to gaze into the abyss and is always on guard against the danger of extinction is not worthy of long."
"We never forget." Varus said, recognizing the voice as Valmew.
"What was once horror becomes myth so that we can accept them, understand them without losing our minds."
"No, and me. I will make the world remember the pain of the past. ”
This is utter nonsense, and Varus will never allow the world to forget the demise of his countrymen.
Valmao didn't speak anymore, at least Varus wasn't killing now, but the giant reclusive beetles. Although he didn't know what it was, it was enough as long as he didn't kill people indiscriminately.
Gone for the annoying sound, Varus looked farther away, where there were more bones half-buried in the dunes. They were equally huge, but they weren't the bones of a Celestial Warrior or a Darkborn.
While some of the Celestial warriors were in animal form, none of them developed webbed limbs and large, heavy dorsal armor.
This is a creature called the Sand Beast, and these giant creatures roam the desert and live on insects that most desert animals don't care about, the Milos worm, which is very popular with the armored dragon turtle.
Milos insects appear in swarms, have wings and fly, and are similar in shape to scarabs. Likes to hunt another insect called Rosa Shell, and also likes to eat people, but not a void creature like Exey.
This is one of the food chains in the Shurima Desert.
But all of the above, from small to large, from insects to people, except for dragon tortoises, are all food for the Axes.
