Chapter 1248: Brother

During the siege the next day, Nasus entered the battle.

The massive obsidian body of the jackal-headed ascendant was at the forefront of the Volunteers, and Nasus, armed with an axe, participated in the siege.

The significance of the Ascended to Shurima was extremely special, and when the majestic Nasus appeared, the defenders of the city of Faldoro, who had high morale, suddenly hesitated.

Even the Sand Pirates, who had heard the ancient legend of Shurima when they were children, now saw the huge Ascended Ones become their enemies, and it would be a fool to say that they did not beat the drums in their hearts!

But thinking of Zelas's methods, the sand pirates trembled and began to fight back.

The huge bolts carried a lot of kinetic energy, and aimed at Nasus in a burst of fires - well, it's an exaggeration to say that they were fired, but the sand thieves had increased the speed of these giant crossbows to the extreme.

Nasus didn't use his obsidian body to catch the terrible bolt.

Although judging from the fluctuation of the runes, these crossbow arrows are not enchanted, but the special bronze arrows can cause enough armor-piercing effect on the body of the ascendant, and if you stupidly resist, you will most likely be directly shot and seriously injured.

So, Nasus raised his attention to the extreme, and began to wield the axe in his hand and firing the bolts.

One after another of the bolts were severed in the air - and when they were cut off, the bolts lost their balance and flew in both directions under the influence of kinetic energy, while Nasus continued towards the walls of Faldoro with a determined step.

Seeing that the other party was focusing on Nasus, Azir quickly ordered the siege beasts to take advantage of the situation - as long as they could open a gap in Faldoro City, there would be a good chance to break the city!

However, just as Nasus was advancing step by step, approaching a hundred paces within the walls, a roar resounded throughout the battlefield.

"It's finally waiting for you!" In the roar, the anger was like substance, "Everyone, you have to die!" ”

Hearing this, Nasus's heart tightened suddenly, and his hand slowed down a little.

The next moment, with a "tuk", an arrow that slipped through the net grazed Nasus's obsidian's body, leaving a long scar on the outside of his left leg.

……………………

Renekton.

Once Shurima's fiercest Ascendant—and for Nasus, Renekton was his own brother first.

Born in commoners, Nasus and Renekton have not been very different since childhood, Nasus likes to think, like to summarize, like to observe the world; Renekton, on the other hand, likes to fight, likes to argue, and likes to act according to orders.

Because of this stubbornness and aggressiveness, Renekton's childhood was mostly bruised and swollen - insults between children often developed into a battle when it came to Renekton, and for most people, Renekton was a time bomb to be dissatisfied with the status quo.

Knowing his brother, Nasus thinks about it and offers to join the army, which he says will help the aggressive Renekton find meaning in life.

Renekton, on the other hand, was obedient to his brother, and after reaching the minimum age requirement (not really, Nasus, who was at the Sun Academy at the time, had a small connection), he left his hometown and joined the army of the Shurima Empire.

Things went just as Nasus had expected - Renekton made a fortune in the army, quickly rising through the ranks, and even earned the nickname "The Gatekeeper of Shurima" during the Battle of the Mountain Pass.

Led by a squad of surprise troops, Renekton faced the enemy with 10 fronts, trying to delay the evacuation of the city as much as possible - no one thought that Renekton had a chance of surviving the battle, let alone winning, but he held out for a day and a night in the mountain pass, until Nasus's reinforcements arrived, and in the end only three or five soldiers were still standing, all scarred.

In that era of the frantic expansion of the Shurima Empire, Renekton was the most fearless pioneer.

But in Nasus's eyes, he still counts most to his younger brother - just as in Renekton's eyes, Nasus is an all-powerful older brother.

Later, when Nasus was aging and dying due to the curse, Shurima made a resolution to make him an ascender—unfortunately, the weak Nasus was no longer able to complete the final ascension to the altar.

At the end of the Ascension Ceremony, Renekton picked up his brother and walked into the light of the solar disc - for the Ascension Ceremony, unless he was prepared, rushing into the light of the sun would mean being burned to death, but in Renekton's opinion, his brother was a scholar, thinker, and general like no other in the world, and he was much more useful than his own martial artist.

This wave is one for one, and it's worth it.

However, the final outcome of the Ascension Ritual was unexpected, and when the light faded, both Nasus and Renekton became Ascendants.

This is the first time.

Later, when Zelath usurped Azil's Ascension, and Nasus and Renekton went to imprison Zellas with the coffin that was going to hold Brand, Renekton made the same choice again.

"The empire is on the verge of collapse, and you have to take the empire down."

In this way, Renekton sealed himself and Azir in the coffin.

Sadly, in the endless dark years, the once great Ascendant had lost his mind, and now all he had left was his furious and bloodthirsty instincts, and after discovering Nasus, he raised his blade in a rage and went straight into the flank into battle.

Looking at his blood-red-eyed, dissensed brother, Nasus gritted his teeth and raised his axe.
