To be honest, both Zelas and Azer were moving faster than Yasuo's expectations.

Facing the embargo jointly blocked after multilateral diplomacy, Zelas plundered a large amount of treasure but it was difficult to turn into practical military supplies; while Azer was in a complicated situation, lack of supplies, and there was a vast sea of ​​sand as a partition - so, in Yasuo's expectations, they would use the Great Serb Desert as the boundary, and the two sides of the south and the north were developed safely.

During this development period, Zelas and Svein will be stalemate, while Azer needs to gather his forces while guarding against threats from the void. The entire battle situation in Shurima will be stalemate, giving Yasuo more time to develop and move.

However, Zelas and Azer were obviously not ordinary people. One of them gritted their teeth and bleeded heavily and bribed the greedy businessman; the other one was even more crazy and dug their own graves, and used the important Scalash monster as military rations for activities, and rushed through the vast sea of ​​thousands of miles!

As a result, the second step of multilateral diplomacy on Yasuo has not yet begun, and the White-robed Covenant has only one framework, and the vanguards of both sides have encountered near the Akara Mountains.

In this operation, Azer's "pioneer" was nothing but Nathers.

………………………………………

In front of the red Akara Mountains, Nathus no longer cared about his feelings.

As a pioneer officer, Nass was responsible for a very important task. He had to provide and plan specific routes for the army's subsequent actions, arrange supply guarantees along the way, provide reconnaissance vision, and establish diplomatic relations with forces of all sizes along the way. Because the scale of this battle was quite large, and most people in Azer had no combat experience, Nass had to come forward in person to participate in the battle and serve as a pioneer officer.

Now, now that the Akara Mountains have appeared in sight, Nathus's mission has officially begun.

"Snap the pace!" Nethers raised the scepter in his hand high, and the sound of shouting overwhelmed the desert wind blowing. "There is the Akara Mountains ahead, and this red land is waiting for the emperor's arrival again!"

“Huh—ha!”

With Nathers' shouting, his soldiers also shouted in unison. Most of these vanguard teams were from slavery. Although they were not strongest due to their years of inadequate food and lack of ability to maintain food, they were the most loyal to Azer after being liberated.

According to the combat plan, this vanguard mission is actually relatively few in combat, but there are more tasks such as exploration, trekking, marching, and communication. Therefore, these loyal, hard-working and of a considerable engineering team were sent to Nathers' command and became the vanguard of the army.

The vanguard of three thousand men was equipped with three giant beasts, and twenty-six of them were fed and drunk with their hands. The ridges of the hump were raised. After crossing the Dasai Desert and seeing the Akara Mountains, there were only four of them in the team.

Morale was available, and Nethers breathed a long sigh, but he still knew that the so-called "Looking at the mountain and running to death" was the saying that the Akara Mountains seemed to be not far away, but if the team slowed down, they might not be able to arrive before the supply was exhausted!

Fortunately, with the urging of Nathers, the vanguard unit was extremely fast. In less than three days, they actually arrived at the southern foot of the Akara Mountains and set up a simple camp near a small oasis.

The trees in the oasis are precious resources, so they camped and did not cut down the trees. Instead, they used the skeletons that had been gnawed cleanly. The giant white bones were connected together to form a winding fence, which simply became the outer wall of the oasis.

While the Pioneer Army set up camp and explored the water source, Nethers silently circled the entire oasis and began to calculate silently in his mind.

The calculation results are not optimistic. This small oasis can only supply food and water for the subsequent army in less than three days. If there are more, the oasis will probably be gone after...

So if you want to build a stable supply line, you must find the next supply point within at least three days’ itinerary!

After confirming this, Nathers quickly wrote a report and asked the messenger in the team who specialized in raising sand eagles to send the letter back, leaving a small team here to welcome the subsequent large troops, and then set off again and continued northward to approach the Akara Mountains.

………………………………………

Almost as Nathus arrived at the oasis on the southern foothills, hundreds of miles west of him, the vanguard of Zelas also arrived at the western foothills of the Akara Mountains.

But unlike Nathers, what this team needs you to fight against is not the unbearable heat and harsh environment, but the elusive and annoying Noxus War stonemasons, as well as the local miners and merchants of the Akara Mountains armed by the war stonemasons.

The vanguard under Zelas was named Permu, who was born into a thief. Before becoming a bandit, he was once a little nobleman of Uzeris.

Permu's family was once considered a "military aristocrat". Although they became middle-level officers at most, they at least had some family backgrounds and had a little ability to lead troops.

So, why did Permu leave Uzeris and devote himself to the cause of sand thieves?

The answer is forced.

When the Noxus went south, Uzeris was the main battle leader and each had his own opinions. Permu, who was a military aristocrat, obviously chose to fight. After all, only by fighting can he achieve military achievements and he can stand out.

Unfortunately, the result of the game of the upper class was to surrender to Noxus, replace the Noxus flag, and build the Noxus. Permu, who received the news, chose to leave Uzeris at the first time - he didn't want to be the chicken that the Noxus people killed the chicken to scare the monkey!

In this way, he joined a vibrant desert group and began to rob houses and blackmail merchants until the rise of Zelas.

Because Zelas was too short of people, even though Permu was only reading and literate and had the level of a middle-level officer, he still soared all the way, and now he has even become the vanguard of the Eastern Expedition Army!

For this "grace of knowing the favor" and to avenge the annoying Noxus, Permu was merciless in his actions to open the way to the Eastern Expedition.

Any native who colludes with the Noxus will be executed by him and then hung on the tallest tree in the nearby oasis to warn later generations.
