Chapter 1247: Azir's Predicament
With his highly motivated volunteers, Azir arrived outside the city of Faldoro and launched an attack on the same day.
However, in the siege battle, because of the difference in the source of troops, the performance of the volunteers can only be said to be unsatisfactory - although the morale is high, the will to fight is good, and they can obey the order to a certain extent, but because of the rusty cooperation and lack of personal strength, they finally returned in vain.
This does not bode well.
Now that Zelas's army has completely entered Farajese, according to Azir's estimates, if Zelas is given a month, he may directly eat the entire Farajese, and then he will lose two-thirds of the mines, half of the smelters, and the tax will be directly halved, once things develop to that point, the balance of victory in the war will be tilted in Zelas's favor.
There is no room for error in Farajese!
But the problem is that there are only two entrances to Farajese, one is the city of Faldoro in the Shurima River Valley, and the other is the Garden City in the remnants of the Giant God Peak, both of which are in the hands of Zelas, and even if he wants to reinforce Farajese, there is no way to enter!
On the one hand, Azir took turns attacking under the city of Faldoro, estimating the possibility that he could break the city if he entered the battle, and on the other hand, he looked for a nearby guide and asked for other ways to enter Farajese.
Either way, however, the results were not very good.
While Zelas himself is unsure if it's in Faldoro, the massive fortress was designed to be an imaginary enemy against multiple Celestial warriors - the tall walls aren't entirely obsidian, but the key points are absolutely stable and reliable.
In Shurima, the advantage of the defenders is incomparably huge, there are a lack of trees, a lack of siege weapons, and the usual siege methods are generally in addition to besieging the city, only to use giant beasts to hit the city wall, but on the inside of the thick city wall of Faldoro City, giant crossbow arrows for large creatures are specially arranged, although because of the passage of time, the enchantment effect of these crossbow arrows is almost finished, but don't forget, the entire area where Shurima is rich in siege monsters is not in the hands of Azir!
Even though these bolts are not enchanted, they still want to clean up these understaffed siege behemoths under Azir...... The pressure is not very high either.
It is precisely because he knows that his siege strength is insufficient, and after losing a giant beast, Azir will directly dispatch the volunteers to attack and then test the attack - unfortunately, the brave warriors did not turn this bravery into combat effectiveness when facing the tall city walls, and after several sieges, Azr's soldiers suffered heavy losses.
On the other hand, the news of the locals is a headache for Azir.
According to the locals, it is possible to bypass the city of Fardoro and enter Farajese, but none of them can be done at this time, and there is no road to pass through the Great Army, according to them.
It's September, and it's the time when the sandstorms in the Shurima Desert are most active, and on average, there will be a huge sandstorm every two or three days, and these sandstorms will rage throughout Farajese, and only a few trade routes will not be attacked by sandstorms - these are the Shurima people living in Farrajse with thousands of years of experience, except for these few safe roads, all other areas can be attacked by sandstorms!
And all the roads to safety start from the city of Fardoro and the city of the garden, if you want to bypass the city of Fardoro and enter Farajese, you can, but after that, all the supplies must be bypassed in turn, and then the defenders of Farajese can cut off Azir's supplies without much effort.
Unless he finds a truly reliable path, Azir will never be able to bypass the city of Faldoro, and if he forcibly bypasses it, unless the battle ends within a week, he will be directly starved of food and water!
The water is cut off in the desert in September...... No matter how strong the will to fight is under the command of Azr, they will not be able to hold out for a few days!
Having confirmed this, Azir was in a huge tangle.
What to do?
It is death to consume it, and it is also death to forcibly take risks!
Zelas broke the city of Faldoro too quickly, so fast that it completely exceeded Azil's expectations, and the surrender of the Garden City directly forced the Shurima Emperor to a dead end......
Just when Azir was helpless, Nasus finally came up with his idea.
"Let me do it." With his axe in hand, Nasus finally asked Azir to fight, "I will participate in the next siege - if the betrayer is still there, he will definitely take the opportunity to strike, and then His Majesty can take the next shot; If he's not there, I'll be able to put more pressure on Fardoro. ”
"But...... Will your body still be able to withstand high-intensity combat? ”
"No problem."
