"I have been reappearing in the sun for two years, but compared to the more than three thousand years I have died, these two years are insignificant. Even the ascension to the Queen of War Sertaka cannot recover the land that has gradually split in more than three thousand years in just two years."

The sand table changed slightly with Azir's movements. The sun disk made of yellow sand emitted bright sunlight, illuminating part of the land. And the unlit gray areas on the road plates mean that they have not surrendered to Azir.

There are about fourteen or five city-states or large settlements in the Shurima Desert. Among them, the people of Vikoala are grateful for the rescue of the clear river water flowing out of the Dawn Oasis and were the first to surrender to Azer.

The city lord of Nerima Jie admired the reputation of Eagle Father and willingly joined Azer's command.

Zerima, Kenneth, Zurita, and Nashrame, followed by the Ascensioners' army and surrendered without encountering decent resistance.

There is basically no formal armed force in these cities. Scattered mercenaries and sand thieves cannot resist the ascension attacks.

And among the Shurima mortals, there are very few existences like Taliyah. If there is no high-end combat power that can compete with the Ascender, it will be a matter of time before the war is defeated.

Those who cannot kill the Ascension will lose most of them, so no one will fight an impossible war.

The two northern port cities of Uzeris and Berguen are still under the control of Noxus. Because these two cities are far away from the Oasis of Dawn and have regular troops stationed, it is not easy for Azer, who has few soldiers and few generals to take them down, and it can easily turn into a protracted tug-of-war.

The Noxus army is still very strong, and these two ports are becoming more and more prosperous under the management of the Noxus open policy. The large number of intermarriages have also caused a trend of national integration here. If Azer wants to forcibly attack these two ports, it will inevitably arouse public anger and therefore cannot be used as the primary choice.

The remaining cities, such as Karamanda, are too far from Azer's base, so they have not had much contact yet. Some have also turned into charred ruins under the magic of runes. For example, Azer's biological mother's hometown, Garden City, was burned under the fierce battle between Brand and Ryze.

"Have you recovered half of the area? It's faster than I thought." Geno held up his hand, rubbing the small piece of stubble that had just grown on his chin, muttering at the black and white sand table.

Even though his voice was small, his height and distance were a little far away, Azer still heard what he said through a sand table. The ascenators gained not only nearly infinite life from the ascension ceremony, but even the various senses of their bodies were far beyond ordinary people under the burning and recasting of the scorching sun.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the huge Shurima that only had three of us god warriors left, there would be only more to surrender to my city now."

Azir's pride did not allow any nonsense. He slowly closed his claws into a fist shape, and the sand table seemed to be pulled by a black hole, gradually shrinking into a sphere, and finally dissipated as Azir clenched his fist.

Yes, including himself, there are only three ascenaries under Azer's command. The insufficient number of ascenators is the main reason for his slow progress in recovering lost lands.

After these two years of contact, he has discovered that Shurima is now in decline. The fault of civilization has turned the Shurima people into a mess, without any cohesion. A little external force will cause them to collapse instantly.

If he wanted to attack a city-state, even if the ascenator who went on the expedition was a commander without soldiers, he could rely on his unrivaled individual strength to make the enemy surrender desperately.

But he had only three ascensioners, and among the three, at least one must be left to guard the capital's dawn oasis and maintain the operation of the sun disk. The remaining two were divided into two groups at most, and even if there was no resistance along the way, their efficiency would not be much faster.

Azer did not have a large number of loyal and brave soldiers like Noxus, who could fight on multiple fronts and blossom everywhere. Even if there were, he did not have the right general to command these soldiers. At present, he only trusted the two brothers Nathus.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen city-states in Shurima. If the enemy is not stupid, they will only be able to fight against the city-states without ascensioners. With the group of wandering soldiers gathered under his command in the past two years, it is basically a fantasy to resist the attack.

Therefore, for Azerjean, the most important thing is the Ascenator. Only by increasing the number of Ascenators can his journey go further.

"Can't you put aside the siege of cities and lands? First, focus on solving the problem of Kaliksai. If you want to regain Shurima, it will be a hurdle that you can't avoid."

Geno was not interested in Azer's bird matter. He didn't know how long it was left to find the giant god next time. He had to hurry up and force Ryz to hand over the runes of the world to him on the grounds of solving the void, so that he could have the capital to fight against the giant god.

Azil snorted coldly and shook his hand and walked back to the steps.

He waved his scepter and walked through the boundless desolate land to the invisible horizon. There, the air was filled with deadly heat waves, and the sand lived with strange creatures like obsidian.

"The huge group of monsters hidden in the void under Kaliksai. These sand-digging and man-eating insects are called Eksai. When I was still alive, the clay had not yet formed stones at that time, and Shurima was still rushing to the scorching sun, and Eksai was already eating there!"

"Thousands of years have not only failed to erase them, but also made their tribes stronger! It is such an existence. How can you fight against Shurima now?"

Azir's voice trembled slightly, and there was a rare occurrence of worry.

This was the first time he had such an emotion since his body was recast by the Sun Sacrifice. Akasia, along with its surrounding area, is a forgotten place that makes Azir unwilling to recall the existence of the abyss.

He had died once and should have been fearless of death. Indeed, even when he was captured by Zelas, he did not abandon his pride. But when he thought of facing them, and when he thought of dying in a terrible way, even the body strengthened by the fire of the sun would tremble uncontrollably, with a completely incomprehensible fear.

"At that time, Shurima, who could drive hundreds of heavenly warriors, was unable to eliminate the death under this piece of yellow sand. Now there are only three left. How do you want us to help you?"
