Speaking of which, these sand thieves who fled in embarrassment were also unlucky - from the moment they saw the Volunteers, they were in a state of "retreating and reorganizing, advancing to meet the attack, spreading the formation, and fleeing in a hurry", except for the wave when facing the impact of the Volunteers, they actually fought for a short time, and they were always advancing and retreating around the defense line in front of the temporary camp.

And then...... It collapsed.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain - for these sand pirates, defeat is not only like a mountain, but even like the collapse of a sand dune, in order to escape for their lives as soon as possible, the sand pirates finally scattered and fled after crowding and trampling each other, and then disappeared in all directions, behind the desert dunes.

Although a large part of the Volunteers were born in Farajesse and hated these robbers who plundered their homeland, they were so professional and in different directions that the Volunteers were able to pursue them in order to maintain their formation.

As a result, only a few sand thieves who ran too close were caught and eliminated, and most of the remaining sand thieves managed to escape.

This is called professionalism.

Faced with this situation, Azir didn't know what kind of expression he should show for a moment, and just as he hesitated whether to disperse the group, Nasus spoke.

"Don't worry." Nasus's body shrunk back into the scholar's appearance, "These sand thieves can't run away, in the monsoon season of Farrajese, except for the safe road, the rest of the area is full of sandstorms, as long as we clean up, those bugs will always be pulled out." ”

Hearing Nasus say this, Azir also breathed a sigh of relief - the situation of Farajesse is already very bad, if these sand thieves inflict a second damage, I am afraid that Shurima will not only be greatly damaged, no matter what, these fleeing sand thieves must be caught, and they cannot be allowed to continue to plague Farajese.

If the weather helps, it couldn't be better.

Nodding slightly, Azir turned his head and focused his attention on Zeroth, who was firmly under the control of the Soul Drain.

Because he wasn't a spellcaster, Azir couldn't see the invisible shackles on Zeroth, but just from the way he struggled, Azir could slightly infer his state.

At this moment, facing this person who had accompanied him for many years and had been loyal to help him ascend to the throne, Azir had a trace of hesitation for a moment.

That's right, for a moment, Azir wanted to tell Nasus to let Zelas go!

Not because of superfluous kindness, but because Azir wanted to know why Zelas chose to betray......

Zelas, in the ancient Shurima language, means "one who knows how to share."

The name was given to him by Azir - as a testimony to a secret friendship, a boy who was not entitled to a name was given a name.

However, Azir didn't ask, he just quietly looked at Zelas, who was bound in place by the power of soul draining, and just watched quietly.

Azir's gaze made Zelas feel like a real burn—he hated the questioning gaze, which reminded him of the big men's gazes when he was a kid when he transgressed the "rules of slavery."

"Don't look at me like that!"

Zelas wanted to roar, but the words turned into a weak sigh, the power of soul draining took away his soul energy, and his whole person was almost drained, in this state, he could not show his strength at all.

In the end, Azir just shook his head.

Anyway, the battle is over.

From today onwards, Shurima will be unified again, and he will become Shurima's Emperor again, as for Zelas......

Perhaps, from the first time I saw the slave boy, I had already made a mistake.

Or rather, the encounter itself...... It's just a mistake.

In Shurima, identity may not be insurmountable, but power must be limited.

Turning his head, Azir stopped talking, but left quietly, walking towards the base that the Volunteers had captured and that had previously belonged to the Sand Pirates.

For Azir now, perhaps the importance of the Vigilantes...... It's much bigger than an old friend who betrayed him.

As for what will happen to Zelas......

As a sharer of the Ascension Power, he will be brought back to Shurima City, to the Sun Altar, and his Ascension Power will be extracted to make up for the shortcomings of Azir's Ascension Ritual - with the Ascension Power of Zeroth, perhaps Azir will be able to be resurrected completely and with full power without having to find his own bloodline power.

When the time comes...... A new Ascension Ritual will announce the great rebirth of this ancient empire!

Silently arranging the crown of hair on his head, Azir entered the camp - after his figure had slipped into a wounded soldier's tent, Nasus shook his head and increased his soul-draining power.

The next moment, Zelas's soul was traumatized and he fell directly into a coma.

For such dangerous captives...... Talking about human rights is not a good choice.
