On the throne of the God-Emperor, which was held up by golden rings and shifting quicksands and suspended more than 20 meters above the ground, Azir waved his spear and scepter, his red ribbon fluttering in the wind, and was giving an inspiring speech to his Golden Legion before the battle.
His voice was loud and clear, carrying the majesty of an emperor. Every word he uttered seemed to have some kind of magic that could make people stand in awe unconsciously.
During this westward expedition, they have to face not only powerful ancient witch spirits, but also many followers who are "willing" to give everything for him.
According to the intelligence from the scouts, Zeratul has gathered at least tens of thousands of believers so far, and each of them has been enhanced to varying degrees, far beyond the reach of humans.
Using an obelisk crafted from ancient sorcery, he and his followers are empowered by the ley lines of the earth, just as Ascended beings are empowered by the light of a sun disk.
At that time, Azir will have to put all his strength into fighting Xerath, and the Yellow Sand Soldiers will be unable to play a role, and his enhanced subordinates will need corresponding soldiers to deal with them.
There are many Sandcallers blessed by Azir in the Golden Legion and the Golden Guard who can control sand themselves. They all boarded the chariots formed by quicksand and were ready to go.
After Azir finished his passionate speech, the Golden Legion shouted in unison, "Long live Shurima" and "Long live the God-Emperor", and marched in unison along the south bank of the River of Life, heading west of the City of the Sun, without raising a single dust.
Sivir originally wanted to join the Western Expedition, but was righteously rejected by Azir.
She is the last bloodline of the royal family, and Xerath has always wanted to completely wipe her out. If she follows him on the Western Expedition, wouldn't that just fulfill the traitor's wish?
Although Li Lin upgraded her Project Genesis Armor to a nano armor in a short time, it was still far from enough to fight against the gods with just a set of power armor.
At least she is in the City of the Sun and is protected by the Sun Disc.
After careful consideration, Sivir gave up her unrealistic ideas and stood on the altar of ascension to watch the troops go to war.
The army was heading for Farajese, an endless plain that was scorching hot and dry, with hundreds of square kilometers of uninhabited land. Even if the river of life flowed again and irrigated this sandy soil, not much would change in just one year.
However, when the Tsar personally led the army, the water source of the Dawn Oasis could be used by him to lead the army forward, which was just enough to supplement the expenses of the Golden Legion and open up a new river channel in Faragese to improve the environment and climate.
The Tyrannosaurus piloted by Li Lin himself and Gaiboga controlled by the intelligent computer entered optical camouflage mode and followed behind the army.
The other five war lords had already made preparations in the Great Sai Desert, hundreds of kilometers away from Narimaj, and their weapon systems were ready.
Inside the containment chamber of the Tyrannosaurus, Azir and Nasus stared at the 3D projection image summoned by Li Lin. It was a drone-photograph of the situation around Naerimajie.
Huge black and blue obelisks rose from the yellow sand, drawing magic from the earth's veins. A large number of blue arcs of electricity and magical lights dyed everything around them blue.
The believers, whose bodies had undergone impossible quantifiable deformations, waved their staffs and continuously fired blue magic lightning to improve the operating efficiency of the obelisk.
"Damn traitor!" Azir couldn't help but roar, "This is squeezing the future of Shurima!"
“Has Xerath been using the obelisk to strengthen himself for the past year?” Nasus frowned. “If so, his current strength is far greater than when we fought him.”
"According to the scan, these obelisks are spread over a thousand kilometers outside the city of Narimaj. There are 237 of them in total. They will gather magic clouds and continuously transport magic power to Narimaj."
Li Lin reached out and adjusted the screen, showing the obelisks in other places. In almost every place, there were a dozen to dozens of Zerath's followers maintaining the energy supply of the obelisks, and all of them were photographed by the drones he sent out for reconnaissance.
In addition to these, the drone also captured some humanoid "creatures" with strange appearances and many abnormally tall statures.
However, instead of calling them creatures, it would be more appropriate to describe them as "arcane energy bodies."
Some of them still have normal flesh and blood bodies, but where their heads should be, there is only a ball of blue flame with a helmet on top. There are also many other humanoid species in the desert, who are somewhat similar to Vastaya, but the flickering light in their eyes shows that they have long lost their mind.
What's more, except for the armor or other clothes made of gold and bronze, his whole body turned into high-energy arcane energy, and the lightning flashed with thunder, becoming one with the magic of the obelisk.
"The nearest obelisk is located at the bend of the River of Life, around the city of Sekhhar, 189 kilometers northwest of us. It's 25 kilometers due south of that city."
Li Lin accurately reported the location of an obelisk.
"Sekohar?"
The red light in Nasus' eyes flickered, and his voice was filled with worry as he read out the name of the city, and his heart tightened.
This city is the birthplace of Xerath. Because it is backed by the River of Life and the slave boy at the time became a royal prince, the small village with only a few thatched houses quickly grew into a city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
But since the battle of Vikora, the city where Azir's mother was born was mostly destroyed by Xerath. The extremely angry Tsar said to Nasus a year ago that he would destroy the city as a warning to others.
