Chapter 804 [0792] The Forgotten Kamavia
When he learned that the sea merchants of Antasil came from Kamavia, Karya's eyebrows were already raised.
He didn't know Kamavia.
In fact, in Karya's impression, Kamavia was a remote area. In the heyday of the Shurima Empire, although Kamavia had been discovered, the people living there were still in a primitive tribal state at that time. Even the Shurima Empire, which was full of conquest desire, had no special desire for this area.
After all, the civilization of Shurima at that time was completely dependent on the sun disk. The first issue to consider when building a city on the Shurima continent was whether it was convenient to connect to the sun disk. Therefore, the Shurima Empire really had no appetite for the continent of Kamavia.
Therefore, Karya's understanding of Kamavia was at most "Ah, there is such a continent to the east of the Shurima continent, across the Sea of Watching".
Although the Shurima Empire had sent some expedition teams to Kamavia and conducted an investigation after landing, and brought some Kamavia's special plants and animals back to Shurima for breeding and planting, the Shurima Empire's attitude towards Kamavia itself was consistent.
There was no need to pay attention.
However, with the division of the Shurima Empire, things changed dramatically.
As far as Kalya knew, after he sealed himself, the Shurima Empire lost its "greatest common divisor". The royal family, the Ascendants, and the Darkborn soon split apart due to disagreements in ideas. Many people left the empire and began to use their own methods to try to reshape the glory of the Shurima Empire.
Some of them believed that too much power struggle led to the empire's loss of its former glory, so they chose to return to the people and work hard to heal the scars of the Shurima continent.
Some people believed that the Protoss was the driving force behind everything, and they must learn from the barbarians to defeat the barbarians, so they simply established the Sun God Cult and played a religious victory directly.
Some people also believe that the public resentment is mainly because the welfare of the empire is too good and it pays too much attention to the rights of civilians. At this time, history should be reversed and slavery should be turned out of the trash can.
Some people also think that instead of internal entanglement, it is better to seek outside. They simply left Shurima with their own direct legions to find answers in a wider world.
And the last part of those who left Shurima went to Valoran, some went to Ionia, and some finally settled in Kamavia.
Take Aatrox as an example. When Kalya sealed himself and the Shurima Empire could not find a direction to move forward, Aatrox, who realized that he was gradually losing control, simply took his elite lineage and left Shurima on the pretext of "expanding territory" and crossed the sea to the east.
After he and his legion arrived in Kamavia, they simply attacked the local tribes that were still in a primitive state.
The local indigenous people, who were still in a primitive tribal state, had no ability to resist the Darkin and their Life Carriers. It didn't take long for Aatrox to easily conquer a piece of land on the Kamavia continent.
But after that, Aatrox found himself embarrassed to find that he knew nothing about governance. Although he and his legions were good at fighting, it was not enough to make the conquered territory obey Aatrox's will.
The locals were not willing to change their familiar lifestyle for thousands of years because of a group of foreign conquerors, even if this lifestyle seemed primitive and ignorant to Aatrox, and the integration process was so slow that it made people desperate.
Therefore, Aatrox, who had no political skills at all, simply adopted the most direct high-pressure policy. He formulated strict laws, used his legions to implement comprehensive martial law, and struck hard at anyone who violated the law.
But the result was not as Aatrox hoped, that the locals would change their customs. Instead, a large number of people began to flee, and many small tribes even crossed mountains and swamps, unwilling to stay under Aatrox's rule.
What's worse is that because the warbands under Aatrox were very good at fighting, and there was no supervision after leaving Shurima, they soon became small local lords, and even began to disobey Aatrox's orders and did not take them seriously. After more than 20 years of chaotic rule, Aatrox finally despaired of his new territory where people's livelihood was declining.
In addition, Aatrox was stimulated by the void and came to the edge of dementia. When he summoned the legion and wanted to make another change but there were few responses, Aatrox finally went berserk.
The furious Aatrox killed the warriors who did not obey his orders. In the battle, he sadly discovered that these warriors who had followed him to fight and were invincible had turned into the fat and bloated appearance that he hated the most.
Feeling that he could no longer control his emotions, Aatrox left the new territory he conquered in despair and began to wander aimlessly, beginning a series of wanderings.
However, not all Darkin were as ignorant of territory governance as Aatrox.
In fact, according to Aatrox, on the continent of Kamavia, there are still some Darkin legions that have successfully taken root there and successfully formed a "large-scale federation", which is called Kamavia. The country of the United Kingdom of Via is actually a country ruled by the dark descendants and the Kamavians controlled by the dark descendants, who rule most of the land on the Kamavian continent.
Kalya heard this from Aatrox.
In Aatrox's words, the United Kingdom of Kamavia can be regarded as a place where "rats unite". He originally didn't think highly of his colleagues, but for those who came to Kamavia and quickly became friends with them. He was even more disdainful of the dark descendants who mingled with the backward tribes in the area.
Even after hearing that they were sealed by the Twilight Stars and that the Earth Emperor could not do it and turned into weapons, Aatrox even clapped his hands and cheered.
The above is everything Kalya learned about Kamavia from Aatrox.
And this part of the content has some interesting follow-up - after the dark descendants slowly withdrew, mortals gradually became the leaders of Runeterra. During this period, Aatrox occupied Blessed Light Island, and the original residents of Blessed Light Island were They were forced to be displaced, and in the process, they discovered the original world runes.
Then, as world runes were discovered one after another, the largest war to date broke out between the Noxian Empire and the Kingdom of Kamavia - the Rune War.
The war led to the disintegration of the Noxian Empire and the disunion of the United Kingdom of Kamavia, and completely sunk a piece of the Valoran continent and a corner of the Kamavian continent, disrupting the ocean currents throughout Runeterra and promoting The birth of Demacia has profoundly affected the current structure of Runeterra...
After that, there was no news from the divided kingdom of Kamavian, although occasionally merchants from Kamavian sailed across the Sea of Watch, either trading in Bilgewater, or arriving at Vazu Ann sells goods, but on the Valoran continent, Kamavia has gradually become an unreachable legend.
That distant continent seemed to have lost contact with Valoran since the Rune War. The two sides occasionally had small-scale commercial exchanges, but there had never been formal, large-scale political and economic activities.
But now, Shyvana brought back the news that Kamavia sent a mission to Antasil to find Shurima to jointly carve up Noxus, which made Kalya have to think carefully.
Shyvana thinks this news is ridiculous, because in her opinion, both South Shurima and Kamavia are thousands of miles away from Noxus. If they want to carve up Noxus, they can only use To describe it as nonsense.
But this is not an excuse. Does that mean that Kamavia has mastered some incredible technology and can even do what they want to do regardless of spatial distance?
But if the Kamavians really mastered this technology... why would they go to Antasil to join forces with Azir? In the current state of fragmentation in Noxus, as long as they are willing to slowly figure it out, then A country with large-scale teleportation capabilities would simply crush them!
Since there is a gap of thousands of years in the understanding of Kamavia, it is difficult for even Kalya to judge whether the other party's trip is just for fun, or whether he really has something he doesn't know and really wants. Annex Noxus.
In this case, Kalya felt that he should go to Antahir.
Shyvana didn't quite understand Kalya's thoughts.
But it didn't matter if he didn't understand. Seeing Shyvana and Jarvan IV staying together all day, Kalya simply didn't bother them, and went directly to Qiyana to borrow an elemental dragon and go on his own. .
In this way, as the void rift south of Ixtal was completely sealed, Kalya rode the elemental dragon alone and set off towards Antasil.
He wanted to see what the Kamavians were planning.
……………………
Kalya was flying to Antasil to see what medicine the Kamavians were selling in their gourds.
Azir, who was in Antasil, had no interest in these boastful Kamavians.
Unlike Shyvana, who only knew roughly, Azir had a "cordial meeting" with the Kamavian envoy.
It's just a pity that although the two sides fully exchanged opinions during the meeting, they did not reach any substantive consensus - Azir and Xerath unanimously determined that the Kamavians did not show any What sincerity comes.
Although the Kamavian envoys vowed that they "can send the assembled army directly into the heart of the Noxians," they have always remained silent on how to do this, not even a single message. Don't want to mention it.
It is understandable for Azir to keep this strategic approach secret.
But at least you have to provide something convincing, right?
You Kamavian envoys are going to take a boat to Antasil. Now when your upper lip touches your lower lip, you say that you can send the army to the hinterland of Noxus. Isn't this? Are you kidding me?
Teleportation that completely ignores spatial distance is a serious violation of known magic theories!
In addition, the enthusiasm of these Kamavia people for this alliance seemed to be only on the surface. After Azir expressed his doubts, they pretended to be unconvinced and started to sell Kamavia's specialties in the market. This made Azir wonder whether these guys who claimed to be messengers were really messengers, or a group of Kamavia merchants who pretended to be messengers to cheat tax exemption.
In addition to the fact that these "Kamavia messengers" themselves did not look very reliable, there was another reason why Azir was unwilling to spend more time on them, that is, he had more important things to do.
This "more important thing" was Renekton.
Not long ago, Azir accidentally got some news about Renekton - it was said that a war was taking place on the coast of the Mermaid Sea at the southern foot of Mount Targon.
According to the legend of the merchants, the two sides of the battle were a group of mermaids living in the sea, and a group of twisted monsters. These twisted monsters seemed to be similar to the legendary Bakay. They all had half-human and half-beast bodies, with twisted flesh and ugly appearance.
Among these twisted monsters, only the crazy leader who commanded them had a specific form that "can make people see what it is".
And this specific form is the crocodile.
Since the leader of the twisted monsters was a crocodile, and the mermaids on the other side were also mermaids, this war was called the Mermaid War by the locals.
The Mermaid War blocked the already fragile western trade of Southern Shurima. In the past, merchant ships that went through the Mermaid Sea either had to go around the deep sea or had to give up trade. For a while, public resentment boiled. After hearing that someone on Antahir wanted to restore the glory of the Shurima Empire, many people came directly to ask Azir to quell the war.
Azir, who heard the news, noticed the key to the problem at the first time.
The leader in crocodile form.
Using an exaggerated half-moon shaped giant blade, he led the Bakays to charge among the mermen...
Why does it sound more and more like Renekton?
And considering that Renekton has some mental problems, this kind of behavior is probably something Renekton can do!
When he got this news, if it weren't for a group of people claiming to be Kamavia messengers arriving in a high-profile manner, Nasus would probably have set off to the west to the scene of the murloc war as soon as possible.
Now that it is initially judged that the Kamavia messengers are not sincere, Nasus can no longer wait - after getting Azir's permission, he set off without hesitation and headed straight for the Mermaid Coast.
The perspective is getting higher and higher...
