[0972] swarming up
Unlike Azer's well-organized arrangement and clear preparations for division of labor, Zelas's command is more like his own one-man show.
Although the representatives of the Lakhorak warriors and the leaders of the various Sand Thieves Legions were waiting for orders in his tent, Zeras, who was staring at the map, obviously would not give them space to give their opinions.
"Don't unfold the Sand Thieves Legion. Always shrink the formation in the first two days, and increase the speed of Xing's army as much as possible - don't complain to me, and don't think about being lazy with sand slimming. The opponent is the cunning Azir, and he won't sit there honestly waiting for our visit!"
"The Lakhorak Legion and the Engineer Battalion are working together. You must ensure the integrity and stability of our war equipment. All the Scarash and Doman beasts in the team are handed over to you. Your firepower is the most critical part of this battle."
"Kalaman, don't care about the consumption of natural Hex crystals. I heard that your mine has some trouble recently, but as long as we win this battle, Telishni and Berguen are destined to not stop us. At that time, we can directly fight Piltwolf and steal the technology of artificial Hex crystals from them!"
"The spoils in this battle are distributed uniformly. This is not the previous siege battle. I can let you take your own share. In the field, who will delay my orders and plans because of snatching spoils? I promise that his head will explode after being stuffed into the anus, and do what he says."
"The scouts brighten my eyes. As long as you discover the enemy's traces first, it will be a great achievement. I will not treat you badly afterwards, but if you dare to slack off because of the heat perfunctory me, then you will know what the hot hell is really hot."
“…”
“…”
The Perlmu incident made Zelas almost completely lose his trust in the grassroots commanders. He had already seen that the sand thieves under his command were fighting with the wind and the robbery war were all talents and were all good players, but when they really encountered the tough battle, their combat effectiveness was really limited.
Therefore, Zelas chose to completely assign specific combat tasks and set a red line for everyone to dereliction of duty. Anyone who dares to surpass them will have to pay a heavy price.
For Zelas, the huge army of Sand Thieves is more like an elastic sponge. He does not ask Sand Thieves to really win, nor does he think that these guys who bully the weak and fear the strong will really win. He only hopes that these guys will hold the enemy to a certain extent and delay the enemy if they cannot be defeated.
Don't collapse when facing the enemy's charge. Even if you make way for a way out, Zelas will be very satisfied - as long as you provide valuable deployment time for the Lakhorak warriors and the Karamanda cannon, these sand thieves have completed their own mission.
One specific order after another was issued. After two days of arrangement, the specific square formation of the Sand Thieves Legion unfolded. This huge army will expand endlessly based on the Akara Mountains, like a giant tapestry, completely covering its enemies. Then the arranged Karamanda cannon will give a fatal blow in the distance.
Finally, after assigning the task, Zelas also gave the same command.
"The whole army attacked!"
………………………………………
Three days later
The Dasai desert is still hot in the evening.
Although there is no direct sunlight, the residual heat of the sun shines on the desert will still make your feet feel hot.
In the eastern part of the Akara Mountains, on a narrow desert plain that was called "Palamepper" by locals, several desert iguanas are carefully poking their heads out of their caves.
The feet of the front and back two were stepping on the still hot gravel. These gray-brown little guys ran along the dunes as if dancing. For them, it was a precious time to prey. While most animals were still escaping the summer heat, they could come to the dunes first and wait for the insects who also "get up early".
Today, there seems to be a lot of insects. One by one, one fat beetle was silly protruding its head and heading out at the top of the dune, intending to roll down the dune, but was intercepted by the desert iguana first. After licking it with its long tongue, these shiny beetles were quickly stuck back, and then exploded in the mouth of the desert iguana, becoming today's dinner dessert.
Unfortunately, happy times are always short.
Although today's pre-dinner desserts are particularly rich, before the desert iguanas fill their stomachs, the vibration from the earth under the dunes made them hurriedly start to dig up caves - the thickness of the gravel in the Paramepper Plain is much lower than that in other places in the Dasai Desert. Compared with their similar species living in other places in the Dasai Desert, the desert iguanas that live here have an additional means of relying on vibration to perceive danger.
However, although these desert iguanas dug out the cave as soon as they sensed the vibration and hid themselves in the deepest part of the dune, these poor little guys were still not spared when the source of the earthquake came.
The huge giant beast carried the spearheaders and archers under Azer, and was marching in a long row along the cliff with drum beats.
Their huge bodies seemed to be a moving city wall. In front of these real behemoths, even the adult earth dragon lizards that Noxus specializes in siege cities seemed to be a stinky brother.
The giant beast with a height of more than twenty meters was intertwined with ropes and iron chains. The Duoman riders who were wearing specialized in climbing ropes crawled up and down one by one, quickly conveying messages and transporting supplies. On the back of the Duoman beast, in the largest flat area, hundreds of soldiers were either correcting the bowstrings or wiping spears, each of them was making final preparations before the battle.
Before, the poor desert iguanas thought it would be safe and worry-free to drill into the ground, but when the giant beasts arrived, their small tunnel would be trampled directly, and then these little guys who had just eaten half full were directly crushed to death by the collapsed gravel in the deep of the cool desert.
After a while, the corpses of these desert iguanas will become food for rotten corpses, and these rotten corpses will nourish the desert iguanas that have escaped, allowing them to lead the race to a revival of numbers after this disaster.
This is the background of Shurima's natural law, as if this endless desert is natural, rough and cruel.
Desert iguanas are like this.
