Zelas led his army to kick off the Battle of Shurima.

Starting from Nerema, Zelas's army traveled eastward along the Shurima River, down the river, and quickly set an unbelievable record of "three days and a hundred miles, breaking ten cities in a row".

The sand pirates, who are adept at moving through the desert, ride camels, multi-beasts, or simply sand ski, are in a jaw-dropping blitzkrieg with arcane golems in their way.

Although most of the ten cities in these hundred miles are small cities, the walls are not even as tall as the behemoths, and the answer is that they did not surrender, but were broken and defeated!

The impact of the wind and resistance on the march was enormous, but even though the city's guards chose to resist, they were unable to delay Zelath's footsteps.

Not at all!

The huge multi-full beast relied on its chitinous back armor to easily break through the city wall, and behind them, a large number of sand thieves took advantage of the situation to rush in, directly advancing the battle to the stage of street fighting - in front of the fierce sand bandits, the city guards often couldn't hold out for an hour of fighting, and they would be directly defeated!

After defeating the guards, the Manchurian Behemoth continued to advance, and with the exception of a few sand thieves who stayed behind to collect food and forage, the rest of the army continued eastward - without the slightest drag.

It is worth mentioning that because of the strict constraints of Zelas, the sand pirates did not directly plunder the city after occupying it, but chose to collect it in a planned way, so that although the Zelas army advanced eastward, the will to resist the cities along the route began to weaken rapidly.

From the fifth day onwards, there was finally a situation of wind falling along the Shurima River.

Anyway, you can't resist, and there will be casualties if you force it to resist, so it's better to just surrender - isn't it just a matter of charging an extra tax!

And that's exactly what Zelas wants to see.

Although he has already claimed to be the emperor, Zelas is still very sober, he knows that his support rating among the people is far from Azir, and once the war starts, the Shurima people are likely to stand against him, so he simply made a gesture from the beginning.

Well, it's almost time to shout "Zelas is here and won't pay for food".

In this way, Zelas and his army marched eastward, soon entering the Faragese region.

Farajese is a vast desert located in the southwest of Shurima City and the southern part of the Lake River.

Different from the Gobi Desert in Kehalisai and the Dune Desert in the Dasai Desert, although Farajese is also a desert area, it belongs to the desert where the natural conditions are not so harsh, and even because of the special desert products, it can even be called a "land rich in products" in Shurima.

The abundance of goods attracted a large number of caravans, and the endless flow of trade and relatively fixed trade routes brought a large amount of taxes, for the Azir dynasty, Farrajese was a very important area, it is because of the supply of Farrajese, Azir can train a large number of rebel warriors!

And now, Farajese is in a hurry.

After the fall of the city of Fardoro and the fall of the Garden City, two openings to the north and south of Farajese opened to Zelas, the two cities that were the north-south exits of Farajese, through which all known routes with relatively stable weather passed through them.

With these two cities in place, it meant that Zelath would no longer have to follow the Shurima River - with a reliable guide, he would be able to attack all of Farajese, along the trade routes that Farajse had in all directions.

Considering the combat ability and marching speed displayed by the Zelas army during this time, I am afraid that within two months, the whole of Farajese will be owned by it!

When the time comes...... I'm afraid it's Azir who can't be sustained!

And that's not even the deadliest.

For Azir, the most lethal thing is that although he started the assembly of the army as soon as he understood the situation and heard that Zelas had moved, the time was urgent, coupled with the transfer of supplies, when the army was drawn from Shurima City, Zelas had already obtained the two entrances of Farajse—in this case, unless he gave up Farajse, he would directly change from the defensive side to the attacking side!

It is foreseeable that as long as about half of Zelas's main army is stationed in the city of Faldoro and the city of the Gardens, then Azir and his volunteers will have to take these two points if they want to enter Farajese!

But...... Are Faldoro and the Garden City so easy to fight?

Don't look at the Zelas army when it seems to be an understatement, but in fact...... Under the city of Faldoro, Zelas even lost more than a quarter of his puppets before he could break through the city before Azir reinforcements arrived.

As for the Garden City...... This was a bonus.

According to Zelas's original intention, he was going to take Faldoro and then seek a war of annihilation in Farajese, but since the Garden City had surrendered, he was naturally happy to change the battle plan.

I'll eat the farajese first, see what you do!

After arriving at Farajese with a large army and launching several tentative attacks, Azir finally frowned.
