Chapter 1254: Waiting for Work with Ease
Was Azir correct in his guess about Zelas's purpose?
The answer is basically true.
Zelas's strategic purpose was not to take all of Farajese from the start—or rather, if he wanted to take all of Farajesse without the unexpected surrender of the Garden City, it would have been a joke.
In this case, all Zelas hopes is to take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt Azil's strategic arrangement and turn his own side from inferior to superior.
It was along these lines of thought that after the battle began, Zelas's first strategic goal was to destroy Farajse, or at least cut off the trade and mineral profits that Azir had obtained in Farajse.
Only in this way will Zelas be able to maintain his strength in the face of Azir.
It's just that because of the surrender of the Garden City, the situation faced by Zelas is actually better than originally expected, which directly leads to Azir's subconscious misjudgment, mistakenly thinking that Zelas has been eyeing Farajese for a long time......
So, after discovering the ruined mine, Azir finally realizes that his previous judgment was a complete misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that was not very good.
After confirming that Zelas was here to wreak havoc, Azir gave the order to force the march, and he now understood that if he did not find a way to stop Zelas's destruction at this time, he was afraid that the previously prosperous Farajesse would become the ruins of the war against Zelas, and everything would be over by then.
Without the lead in business and taxation, Azr's reform and revival will be abandoned halfway, and the huge number of volunteers will not be able to support it, and the strategic initiative will be firmly in the hands of Zelas, and whether to fight or not and Azir will have to accept it silently......
Fortunately, it is not too late, Azir knows very well that there is only one turning point in this battle now - only by finding Azir's main force, and then directly eliminating part of the main force in the battle, taking advantage of the situation to push back, this can regain the rhythm of the war again and turn the passive into the active, otherwise once the main force of Zelas leaves, he will be defeated from a strategic point of view!
"Speed up!"
In order to capture the main force of Zelas, Azir, together with his volunteers, began a frantic forced march.
……………………
Well, alas, what Azir didn't know was that when he started his forced march, Zelas did not continue to destroy and escape.
When the city of Faldoro was broken, the Overseer took the strongest camels and chased them in the direction of Zelas's march - after sacrificing several camels, the Overseer finally caught up with Zeras's army as the Azir Volunteers began to pick up.
When he learned of the fall of Faldoro from the Overseer's mouth, Zelas let out a terrible laugh instead of the slightest anger.
"Whoahahahahahaha
"That's great......"
"Faldoro...... I love the city! ”
"Now, give my order, everyone stop moving forward, look for a modifiable geography in place, and perform the trimming!"
"Everyone has given me a good spirit-the puppet emperor of Shurima finally can't hold it back!"
"Now, the initiative is completely in our hands, and when they come in a hurry, we will wait for work and completely smash the puppet emperor and the volunteers led by him!"
"Shurima has only one emperor!"
At Zeroth's orders, his army halted its advance, and after confirming the whereabouts of his opponent, Zelas activated a second plan.
The purpose of the strategy is also very clear - he wants to annihilate the main force of Azir's army in Farajese, so that he will completely lose the qualification to continue fighting with him!
Zelas knew full well that Azir wasn't going to let himself go easily.
In this case, instead of being chased and killed by the other party's tail, it is better to take the initiative to wait for work, and take advantage of the other party's original fatigue to directly launch a counterattack, as long as Azir's main force is finished, the trend of this war will be completely rewritten!
Although judging from the military judge's report, these sand thieves will not be able to play the cards after all, for Zelas, what he needs is this kind of unworthy appearance - only this kind of unsuitable appearance will give Azir the courage to chase after him!
The highest level of deception is ...... I really can't beat it!
In that case, there will be no flaws!
In this way, after finding a stone forest where they could be stationed, the army of Zelas began the final renovations before the battle.
The Watcher is gone, but the purpose and itinerary of the rebel army is completely in the hands of Zelas, and in his opinion, the war itself has been won!
Although the number of sand pirates is not superior, in the field, number is not the only factor - especially in this kind of extraordinary world, although the number is still important, but strength and state can also determine the direction of a battle!
However, things didn't seem to go exactly in Zelas's direction, and as he was preparing for the fatal blow, Azir and the Volunteers arrived early......
