Chapter 963 [0954] Shurima's Unification War

This may be the first time that Karya can observe a war on the Shurima continent without being a participant.

And sometimes, some things can only be more clearly understood when you are not involved.

When the smoke of gunpowder began to spread upstream and downstream along the Shurima River, with Shurima City as the center, what Karya saw was a huge wave.

The old order was like a fragile piece of cloth, which was easily torn apart. Countless Shurima soldiers, with their loyalty to the emperor, swept through the cities along the river that were unwilling to submit with a momentum that was even more violent than the water of the Shurima River.

One after another.

There was almost no need for Nasus and Renekton to take action. Those cities that tried to resist stubbornly and adhere to the slave system were completely overthrown.

For these cities, the history of the Shurima Empire has given them a lot. Whether it is the foundation of urban construction or many regional specialties that have been passed down to this day, they can be traced back to the ancient glory of the Shurima Empire.

But in addition to this, the history of the Shurima Empire has also been distorted into many heavy shackles, which tightly strangle the necks of the slaves. When the rulers relied on the monopoly of knowledge to bind the glory of the past to the slave system and the theory of bloodline, the slaves' cries, even if full of anger, were ultimately useless.

Until now, Azir appeared and announced the abolition of slavery as the most orthodox heir of Shurima, and put forward the declaration of "restoring the true glory of Shurima", these shackles have completely become invisible.

Of course, in a very good situation, Kalya also clearly saw the hidden worries of the new Shurima. It is easy to liberate slaves, but it is not so easy to make free slaves live like a person.

Even if the new Shurima can give these slaves better treatment and identity by eliminating slave owners in a short period of time, if the new Shurima does not develop further, it will ultimately be just a table-turning. Even if Azir cannot fulfill his promise to make the Shurima Empire great again, I am afraid that he will face backlash in the future.

Don't forget, his goal is to unify Shurima, not "unify the Shurima River Basin" - if after unifying the Shurima River Basin, only the slaves' lives will be better, and the living environment of the free people will not change at all, the difficulty of sending troops to North Shurima will increase exponentially.

That is destined to be an expedition across the desert, and unlike the situation where the cities along the Shurima River are isolated from each other, the cities in North Shurima can completely rely on the resources on the sea to defend the city.

Moreover, although the cities in North Shurima have not completely abolished slavery, the number and scale of slaves are not at the same level as those along the Shurima River, which will be a very difficult battle.

Karya doesn't know whether Azir is ready or not, and whether he has a complete plan for the follow-up.

But no matter where Azir finally goes, he doesn't plan to go to New Shurima City to remind him, because for him, there is a more important thing to do at this time.

Go to Mount Targon and meet Zoe.

……………………

When in the Howling Abyss, one of the important reasons Karya persuaded Zoe to leave was "Now is not the time to take action."

When Zoe asked Kalja when he could take action, Kalja's answer was "when the Titans and their lackeys face the threat together."

And now, judging from the situation of the Shurima Unification War, the cities along the Shurima River, including Faraj and Vikora, can't stop Azir's army anyway.

In this case, as the only city along the Shurima River with the strength and reputation to compete with New Shurima, the residents of Nerimaj will certainly not sit idly by and watch Azir advance triumphantly.

Moreover, the sun disk on the Titan Peak has risen, and there is a faint trend of convergence between Nerimaj and the Rakkor people. Once Azir's troops point to Nerimaj, neither the Rakkor people nor the Titans behind them can sit idly by and watch Nerimaj be defeated in one go.

Once the war begins, the situation in Nerimaj will become chaotic, and the attention of the Rakkor people and even the Titans will be attracted to the battlefield. If there is any opportunity to give the Titans a hard time, it must be this time.

The only problem is that according to Kalja's original prediction, this incident might happen ten years or even longer, but because of the sun disk, everything was suddenly accelerated.

Without time to plan more layouts, Kalja could only go west and soon arrived at the Targon Peak, and began to look for Zoe's traces.

It was not easy to find Zoe.

Although her image features were very obvious, and her rainbow-colored hair was extremely impressive, Zoe, who was good at teleportation, was always free to do whatever she wanted. She might be drinking tea in Ionia in the morning, and she might appear in Kamavia in the afternoon.

Kalja had no way to find her location based on the traces she left.

And even if he found it, he might not be able to arrive in time, because when Kalja arrived, Zoe had no idea where she had teleported to.

However, Kalja couldn't find it, but it didn't mean that others couldn't find it.

Kalja believed that Soraka, the son of the stars who liked to observe the starry sky and weave fate and abandoned the body of the Targon to come to Runeland, would definitely find the comet that disrupted the situation in Runeland.

Karja has always been full of respect for this unique Titan. Even when the relationship between the Shurima Empire and the Titan was at its worst, Soraka's seclusion was not disturbed. Information about her has always been managed by Karja himself and never leaked.

Although he does not agree with Soraka's concept of destiny, Karja still recognizes her ability.

Since Karja can't find Zoe himself, why not ask Soraka?

Moreover, in the next game about the future of Runeland and the Celestial Realm, the Son of the Stars is also qualified to stand at the table!

My hands are numb and a little shaking. Go check it out.

I thought it was aggravated cervical spondylosis or lumbar spine problems, but it turned out to be hyperthyroidism.
