Chapter 429: The Queen's High Desert Emperor
As Ramos disappears into the horizon.
The crimson dawn light fell on the camp of Order, and the corpses of Milos beetles covered the dunes.
The caravan guards and the remaining slaves were busy in the battlefield, processing the beetle corpses and collecting useful parts and materials.
Xia Mara walked over gently and noticed that Huo Jixing was immersed in thinking and did not dare to disturb him.
"Are you about to set off?"
Huo Jixing suppressed his thoughts, looked at the caravan that had been packed up, and said to the waiting Xia Mara.
"Yes, Mr. Charles." Shyamala replied respectfully.
"Well, let's set off then."
Myrdalda's caravan set off again, and the Doman beast walked in the endless desert with its huge body.
The winding rivers of the Mother of Life seem to be the blood vessels of the earth, running through Shurima from east to west.
Countless turbulent tributaries extending out nourish the desert, creating small oases like stars, bringing vitality and vitality to this land.
The return journey of Midarda's caravan was changed due to the interference of Huo Jixing.
They followed the tributaries of life and passed through many towns and villages, hearing many true and false rumors.
These rumors are like a string of pearls, connecting the changes in the situation in Shurima continent, and slowly revealing them in front of Huo Jixing.
Desert Emperor Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire, now raises the sun disk again on the land of Vikoula.
He informed the continent of Shurima and gathered many talents with the intention of restoring the glory and glory of the Shurima Empire in the past.
At the same time, the ancient wizard spirit Xerath announced to the world in Nerimajie, the core city in the west of the Shurima continent.
He wants to build a great country on the continent of Shurima that lives in peace and abolishes the slave system.
I hope that people with lofty ideals can work together to change the pattern of Shurima continent for thousands of years.
Xerath's goal is clear and unwavering: to fight Azir and stop his dream of revival, and perhaps even more far-reaching ambitions.
Under the influence of these two forces, the future of Shurima has become confusing.
Many reclusive extraordinary beings have chosen to be born and join one of the camps to fight for the beliefs and ideals in their hearts.
As the caravan moved forward, Huo Jixing gained a deeper understanding of the current Shurima continent.
However, because they are currently active in the eastern region of Shurima.
And this happens to be the area where Azir's power lies.
This resulted in most of the information obtained by Huojixing being beneficial to Azir.
They portray Azir as a wise and powerful ruler whose strength and wisdom would bring prosperity and stability to Shurima.
The evaluation of Xerath in this information is full of hostility and dissatisfaction, and most of the oasis villages are condemning his betrayal.
Believing that his actions destroyed the peace of Shurima and plunged many innocent lives into the flames of war.
"The identity of a slave!"
On the edge of the river of the Mother of Life, the Myrdalda caravan was stopping to rest.
Huo Jixing stood on the sand dunes, looking at the majestic city in the distance, and whispered softly about the disadvantages Xerath faced.
Even though Xerath has the terrifying power of the Witch Spirit and his unwavering will.
But his slave status is like a heavy shackle, restricting his progress in the Shurima continent.
After thousands of years of change, Shurima's slavery system has long been deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
To be precise, it is not just a system of slavery, but also a concept and a prejudice passed down from generation to generation.
The vast majority of oasis controllers are vested interests in the slavery system.
Their wealth, status and power are all based on this system.
Therefore, they will never give up this interest easily, let alone allow anyone to shake their foundation.
The reforms proposed by Xerath are undoubtedly a storm sweeping Shurima, threatening their rights.
"We cannot let the power of the two sides be unbalanced." Huo Jixing thought in his mind and made a decision.
The current Noxus Empire still occupies the prosperous ports of the Northland and holds Shurima's economic lifeline tightly.
Either Xerath or Azir.
While they covet the benefits brought by the ports of the North, they are also wary of the power of the Noxus Empire.
Reluctant to take action himself, thus allowing the other party to get the support of the Noxus Empire for nothing.
This is what Huo Jixing is happy to see.
But now it seems that in the face of the overwhelming momentum of the Shurima Empire led by Azir, Xerath's momentum is gradually weakening.
He decided to secretly add fuel to the flames and let Xerath's momentum spread throughout Shurima, shaking the foundation of Shurima.
There is also the forgotten land of Icacia, where void creatures are raging, which is also a good excuse.
"Only the chaotic Shurima can bring more benefits to the Noxus Empire."
Huojixing looked at Vicora in the distance and saw the sun disk hanging over the city. Whisper softly.
His eyes spanned the distance of space and fell on the vast oasis, staring at the towering city that symbolized power and glory.
Vikaola!
This devastated oasis city has been reborn as Azir's chosen place in the sun.
The dilapidated city walls of the past have been replaced by solid walls made of loess, and the wide streets lead straight to the oasis, closely connecting the prosperity of the city with the tranquility of nature.
The buildings and markets in the city are submerged in color and noise. Everywhere you look, there are crowds of people and excitement.
In the core area of the city, Huo Jixing saw many colorful clouds rising.
These clouds are as colorful as the rainbow in the sky, and behind them they symbolize the extraordinary beings of Vikoula.
They guard this oasis city incorporated into the sun disk, representing endless hope.
"Huh?"
Huo Jixing's eyes flashed, and in the red-gold field of vision, he saw a pair of majestic golden eyes appear and looked back.
"Who is this? Can you actually detect my prying?"
He was a little surprised. This was the second time someone could sense his prying in reverse.
Huo Jixing pondered for a while, vaguely guessing about this great being.
Then he turned around and found Shyamala, his tone revealing a trace of unquestionable majesty.
"End the rest and continue moving forward with the caravan."
Hearing this, Shyamala immediately took action to stop the caravan from getting ready to go.
After a while.
Myrdalda's caravan set off, crossed the river of the Mother of Life, and headed north.
But before he had gone far, there were footsteps behind him.
“Are you chasing me?”
Huo Jixing was sitting in the tent on the back of the Doman beast. He looked back and saw a familiar cloud approaching.
The scorching sunlight fell, reflecting the golden armored soldiers marching in formation.
Their figures combined together were like golden waves, rushing towards the Myrdalda caravan one after another.
Behind the golden-armored soldiers were the Guards Corps, fully armed and holding spears.
The gorgeous armor worn by each person is engraved with the sun crest, highlighting their extraordinary status.
The sun emblem is the symbol of the Shurima emperor, a symbol of power, and a symbol of their loyalty. "What happened? Why are there so many Desert Legion soldiers coming around?"
Xia Mara stared at the Desert Legion approaching quickly, frowning, feeling a fatal feeling Danger strikes.
Her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but think of Huo Jixing's urgent order just now, and realized that the two things might be involved together.
“Don’t worry.”
Huo Jixing appeared beside Xia Mara and spoke to comfort her.
"Let me handle the matter."
After saying that, Huo Jixing walked away in the air, his whole body flashing with green light and wind.
As soon as he approached the Desert Legion, he saw Nasus, the Desert God of Death, and Sivir, the Goddess of War, in the central array.
The two of them were no longer dressed as shabbily as before. They were wearing golden armor and were full of majesty.
“It’s you!”
When Nasus saw it was Huo Jixing, a look of solemnity appeared in his deep eyes, and the long-handled battle ax in his hand was filled with the power of death.
Before Huo Jixing could speak, he noticed violent magic fluctuations in the air.
The Guards Corps wearing golden sun armor stepped forward in unison, pointing the spears in their hands at the sky, rolling up the golden gravel, and condensing a high platform in the sky.
The imperial high platform!
It is golden in color and was built for sacred rituals.
The sun pattern engraved on it is ancient and mysterious, representing the most primitive and powerful power of the sun god.
With bursts of golden light surging, it is like the blazing sun coming into the world.
Huo Jixing looked at the gorgeous entrance in front of him and became more and more sure who was following him.
Behind the blazing sunshine, a tall, thin and majestic middle-aged man appeared silently.
A robe covered with iridescent feathers and a pair of large sleeves like flying wings. It has an ebony visor and a beak.
It is true that the specific face cannot be seen clearly, but in terms of temperament alone, it is full of nobility, awe-inspiring and incomparable.
Desert Emperor Azir!
Huo Jixing instantly confirmed the identity of the person.
"Who are you, and why do you want to spy on Vicora?" Azir said, his eyes shining goldenly behind his visor.
"I am a high-ranking non-commissioned officer of the Noxus Empire's Leiser Garrison. I passed by this oasis unexpectedly. I am very sorry."
Huo Jixing said apologetically, expressing I really just passed by by accident.
"The Noxian Empire!?"
Hearing this, Azir held the ancient golden scepter and looked at Huo Jixing.
His eyes were shining with golden light, as if he could see through the good and evil in people's hearts, intending to see through Huo Jixing's specific strength.
“Yes, I did not do it unintentionally, and I hope you can forgive me.”
Huo Jixing noticed Azir’s probing gaze, and after a simple confrontation, he chose to give in. , quickly left with the Myrdalda caravan.
Looking at the caravan that seemed to be disappearing in the desert, Azir looked confused and did not stop him. He asked Nasus.
"Is this the person who carries the star spirit you said?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nasus took a step forward and bowed respectfully.
After the Tomb of the Emperor incident ended, he told what happened, as well as the terrifying strength that Huo Jixing showed.
“His strength seems to have become stronger again.”
Nasus thought about the meeting just now, and became increasingly afraid of Huo Jixing.
"It's normal for the protoss."
Azir recalled the contents of the books he once read, which contained an introduction to the protoss.
They guided mortals to build the Sun Disk in ancient times, creating the glory of the ancient Shuriman Empire. Their strength is absolutely beyond doubt.
"Has Bakai defected recently?"
Azir put away his gaze and looked at Nasus, who was listening.
"The empire needs strength now, and they must not be allowed to defect to Xerath."
Nasus nodded slightly, with a trace of worry flashing in his deep eyes.
“Yes, but they have been eroded by the power of the void, and the purifying power of the sun disk is difficult to remove.”
“And Bakai’s souls and minds are not Stable, once entering the battle."
"It may attack its own people."
Azir waved his hand and dismissed the imperial high platform, and continued to speak.
"You need to try to solve this."
"You are the Grand Maester of the Empire and can call upon the power of the Sun Disk at will."
"Find a way to purify Let them become members of the Ascended Legion again."
"Follow your will," Nasus looked determined.
He wants to complete this great imperial vision for Azir and restore the glory of the past empire.
"What happened to the ruined slavery system?" Azir walked back, looking to the west with his golden eyes.
“Your Majesty, you must think carefully.” Nasus expressed his true feelings with a solemn expression.
“I asked the nearby oasis villages and most people do not agree with the slavery system in the ruins.”
He reported truthfully, understanding that these objections may have some impact on Azir’s plan. .
"Then push it forcefully."
Azir's eyes were cold, somewhat dissatisfied with the short-sighted oasis lords.
They are a stumbling block to progress. Their vision is limited to immediate interests and cannot see a greater future.
Azir suppressed his emotions and thought of Xerath's resistance, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He is the emperor of the Shurima Empire, and the reason why he still decided to abolish slavery.
It's because there are too many people in the Shurima continent now, they are sparse and withered, and they are completely incomparable to the former Shurima Empire.
Azir needs to free up more labor force to participate in production and regain its economic lifeline.
At the same time, thousands of years later, he somewhat understood the deep hatred his former friends and confidants had for him.
Slavery can no longer exist and must get rid of the shackles of the past.
Only can Shurima rise again and stand tall in this desert again.
After Huojixing left Weikaola, he continued northbound.
The scorching wind and sand are coming from the ground, but there is a little bit of salty moisture from the sea, as if it is close to the sea.
This tells Huo Jixing that this place is very close to the Northland port, and has almost entered the sphere of influence of the Noxus Empire.
After half a day's work, the Myrdalda caravan arrived at Kenese.
This is a small market located in a small oasis. Although it is not large in scale, it is an important stop for caravans to rest.
Shyamala arranged for the caravan to enter Kenese to rest in order to reserve enough strength and supplies for the next journey.
This is very close to Bergün. After resting, you can return to Bergün.
During the rest period in Kenese, Huo Jixing arranged for Xhamala to enter Kenese, communicate with local businessmen, and learn some of the latest information about Bergun.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
