There is nothing wrong with Karya's judgment.

While the residents of Nashirama were still immersed in the joy of Ramos Day and the excitement of the Ramos Tumbling Competition, they did not know that Saga, the female port supervisor of Nashirama, was quietly preparing to launch a war.

preparation.

Due to the tight time limit, the preparations for this war seemed a bit hasty, but for Saga, this action was an opportunity not to be missed!

There has been quite a commotion among the Rakkor people who have settled in Uzeris. By sending troops at this time, not only can they raise the banner of "conquering Shurima's rebellion", but they can also reap the benefits!

Moreover, the Noxians have their hands full right now!

Although Nasramei did not send spies to Noxus, Saga also learned a lot about the Besilico rebels through her husband's connections.

Although she didn't know the specifics of the confrontation between Du Kecao and Jericho Swain, she was at least certain that the Noxians were currently busy dealing with civil strife and had no time to take care of Uze.

Reese.

With internal chaos and no external reinforcements, even if Uzeris is a fortified city, it can still be conquered with a single blow!

In order to achieve the strategic goal of quickly occupying Uzeris and for the sake of confidentiality, all war preparations in Nashrame were carried out quietly.

Needless to say, the collection and deployment of grain, grass, equipment, and pack animals. The former had already been secretly collected when the Noxians were making large-scale purchases. The latter, Saga even took advantage of the livestock markets in other cities to go on strike.

When the livestock market was booming, I took the opportunity to purchase a large number.

The most elite local city guards in Nasramei were mobilized out of the city three days ago on the pretext of "clearing out the sand bandits" and are now stationed in a remote oasis in the west of Chengdu, waiting for the next order.

The militia recruited from the desert remnants and the most fanatical about reviving Shurima also completed their training after Ramos Day and are currently rushing to the oasis where the city guards are located in the name of "training".

One-third of the registered elemental mage mercenaries received a secret summons. Saga went to great lengths and took out a lot of treasured books as rewards to form a team. Although they fought independently, they could at least provide spells.

Supported magic groups.

At the same time, in Nasramei City, the larger mercenary groups also received special mercenary tasks issued by Saga - war mercenaries. Saga did not expect these guys to be the main force in the siege, but let him wave the flag and attract Nuo.

The attention of the Xusians and Uzeris is quite good.

When the residents of Nasramei City just discovered that brand new street lights were being laid in the business district and were talking about it, Nasramei was already making all preparations for war.

Finally, on the early morning of the third day after Ramos Day, Saga announced to all the citizens of Nashrame the news of the upcoming use of force against Uzeris.

People in Nashilami woke up in the morning and were surprised to find that overnight, messages drafted by the female port supervisor had been plastered all over Nashilamy, and the slogan "Cut down the unjust and punish the rebels" resounded throughout the city.

Streets and alleys.

After hearing the news, some of the residents of Nashrame were ecstatic, some were worried, some were panicked, and some were outraged. However, the situation in the entire Nashrame was still relatively stable - Saga did not turn the city around.

Transformed into a rumbling war machine like Noxus, she is full of confidence in the next battle.

Uzeris...

It will surely come down in one fell swoop!

Compared with the residents of Nasramei, Lux and Ino received news of the war two days later.

They had sold Skalas on the day after Ramos Day, bought two camels at a high price, and continued westward to leave Nashrame - because although Kalya had smelled the breath of war, in the end he

They chose silence, so it wasn't until Lux and Ino came to the oasis west of Nasramei and wanted to get close to the supplies that they encountered warnings from garrison scouts. They realized that a war had begun.

Lux and Ino, who were ordered by the scouts to not approach the oasis and received a free proclamation, read the text word for word. Then, the two Demacians quickly extracted the righteous words from it.

A central idea emerged.

"This is a war of aggression!"

……………………

In the inherent concepts of the two Demacians, Lux and Ino, the reason for declaring war is "to defeat the unjust and punish the rebels".

As a city-state of Shurima, Uzeris took the initiative to seek refuge in Noxus. This is similar to a city on the continent of Valoran, sandwiched between Demacia and Noxus, which once received a large amount of aid from Demacia.

The principality, as if it turned around and surrendered to the Noxians, should be punished.

However, considering the previous back and forth between Nashrame and Noxus, the implication of this punishment being carried out by Nashrame is not quite right.

Does Nasramei want to punish the rebels, or simply occupy Uzeris?

This judgment question is really too simple.

Therefore, the first reaction of both people was that Nashrami had launched a war of aggression.

However, even though it was a war of aggression, it was dog eating dog after all, so after Lux and Ino came to this conclusion, they didn't have many other ideas.

"Think about it again, is this war just a war of aggression by one city-state against another city-state?" After receiving feedback from Lux and Ino, Kalya continued to ask, "What else does this war mean?

?Is attacking Uzeris the entire strategic goal of Nasramei?"

"Nashiramei is not still thinking about unifying the entire Shurima, right?" Lux hesitated, "That city does have a deep foundation, but if you want to unify Shurima... I think it is almost impossible."

"Don't be bound by the rules of war you heard from your father." Kalya continued, "The style of war in Shurima is completely different from that in Valoran."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "War style?" Lux blinked, then turned to look at Ino, "Am I thinking inertia?"

"In the continent of Valoran, there are two powerful enough forces, Noxus and Demacia. Therefore, if there is any grudge between the small city-states and principalities in the middle, even if a war breaks out, the scale will be very limited and will not expand.

." Kalya also named Ino, "Tell me, what do you think of the follow-up to this war?"

"Well... I'm afraid it depends on the outcome of the war." Enos thought for a moment, and finally could only give a vague answer, "But in terms of commonalities... maybe each city-state will pay more attention to the army and force?"

"A very good answer, simplifying the complexity." Kalja said with a pleased tone, "In the continent of Valoran, Demacia and Noxus form their own factions. There are clear barriers between the camps. Internally, Demacia and Noxus

will be mediated, and the war between camps depends on whether Demacia and Noxus will join the war."

Hearing what Kalya said, Lux and Ino both nodded.

"However, the only city-states in Shurima now are Nashrame." Kalya paused and continued, "Nashrame suddenly takes action. How do you think other city-states will react?"

"Condemn? Fear? Form an alliance to protect each other?"

"This is possible." Kalya said calmly, "But no matter what the reaction is, as long as there are still some ambitious guys, they will take this opportunity to strengthen their armaments - no matter what the outcome of the war, an arms race has officially

Start and never stop.”

Lux blinked and was stunned for a moment before she understood what Kalya meant, and then she said with some worry: "Doesn't that mean that Shurima is about to start a... total war?"

"We haven't reached that stage yet, but the trend is like this."

"So, should we stop this war of aggression?" Lux narrowed her eyes, "Shurima's natural conditions are already very bad and it cannot afford a war!"

"Stop? Why stop?" Kalya's tone became intriguing again, "If we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. Remember, Lux, not only does power have a price, but everything has a price. If Shurima wants to gain

Freshmen, that will definitely not be on the tender negotiation table!"

Lux nodded subconsciously, then smacked her lips and realized something was wrong.

"But, can Nashilame really bring new life to Shurima?"

"What do you think?"

Lux and Ino looked at each other, and the two recalled their experiences on Ramos Day. Although they both felt very happy, they always felt unsteady, which was completely different from when they were in Zaun.

So, the two people shook their heads in tacit agreement.

"Nashilami is just a catfish." Kalya's tone was full of confidence again, "Before the show starts, someone has to come to warm up the place!"

……………………

The discussion of the impact of war is but an interlude.

Compared with caring about the future situation of Shurima, for Lux and Ino, there is another issue that is more important at this time: whether to go to Uzeris as the next stop.

According to their previously planned action route, after leaving Shurima, the next stop is Uzeris, where they will replenish sufficient supplies, then turn southwest and go straight to Narimajer, where they will officially start.

The climb of Mount Targon.

However, now that Nasramei and Uzeris are about to go to war, it may not be easy to go to Uzeris to replenish supplies at this time - no matter how slow they are, Uzeris should at least be under martial law at this time, and cities under martial law should purchase supplies.

It’s not easy, and it’s also very difficult to leave.

But if they don't go to Uzeris, then they want to cross the Dasai Desert vertically. The supplies the two of them are carrying now are completely insufficient. After replacing Scarash with camels, their material carrying capacity has been reduced a lot.

, we can no longer move in a straight line in the Dasai Desert as before.

"Is there really no large city near Uzeris?" After comparing the map for a long time, Lux asked Karya helplessly, "Why do I feel... It seems that there is a circle with no cities and few oases.

Wrap it around Uzeris?"

"The isolation zone is not that big, but there are indeed almost no cities around Uzeris." Talking about this problem, Karya had no idea, "I am deeply impressed. When the water network was first built, the entire western channel was almost empty.

It was dug manually, and there are few oases in the middle to serve as supplements and transit points.”

"Why is this happening?" Lux was a little confused, "It doesn't make sense..."

"It makes sense for this to happen." Kalya recalled it for a moment and replied, "The terrain of Western Shurima is relatively high, but the water table of Shurima is almost horizontal.

The peaks are relatively far away and are not directly nourished by the melting water of snow-capped mountains, but the altitude is relatively high. It is difficult for oases to appear in places far from the underground water level. Oasis are rare and cities cannot be built. "

"Is this one of the reasons why Uzeris defected to Noxus in the first place?" Lux drew inferences, "Similar to Tellishni and Belgun who were separated from Shurima due to the influence of wind direction and ocean currents, Uzeris

The local business relationships between Zerys and Shurima are not that close?”

"The answer is correct." Kalya agreed with Lux's view, "So, my suggestion is to still go through Uzeris - if you can't buy supplies, go through the black market, and if the city's martial law does not allow you to leave, then climb over the wall."

Kalya's words left Lux and Ino speechless.
