But, so what?

Did all the thieves under my command show them out to see?

Yes, these sand thieves have a worrying combat power and are not very firm in themselves, but Zelas does not expect them to cause real damage - as long as there is delay, as long as there is entanglement, as long as the enemy is relaxed, the balance of victory will tilt towards him.

The advantage of the number of ascenators is important, but not critical.

On the contrary, the number of sand thieves is the most important weight in this battle.

With a army of 200,000 under his command, even if he washes his neck and lets Azir kill him, he will be exhausted to death!

Two hundred thousand to fifty thousand?

The advantage lies in me!

………………………………………

At nine o'clock in the morning, the battle officially broke out.

The first one to launch the attack was not the neatly formed Azir army, but the sand thieves holding long swords. They shouted and showed their weapons, rushed down from a short sand dune, as if they were rushing toward the group of wolves, and rushed straight towards what they believed was the "gap" in the Azir formation.

What greeted them was a long-handled halberd with a length of more than three meters.

This weapon was a standard weapon of the Shurima Empire. Of course, during the Shurima Empire, the long-handled halberds they used were carefully forged. Even if they were used by ordinary soldiers, they were still very sharp. However, Azel obviously has no financial resources to do this. Now the "long-handled halberd sword" of the soldiers under his command is more like a scimitar tied to the top of a bamboo pole, and the tip of the scimitar is extremely sharp.

This kind of special long-handled halberd looks bad, but its combat effectiveness is still good. These trembling new recruits listened to the slogan of their captain, waited for the enemy to approach and slashed the halberd, and then turned from slashing to sprinting. After a very simple and unpretentious attack, the sand thieves who were clamoring for the formation were quickly cut into a large area like wheat in the wheat field.

Armed fights and wars... are different.

Faced with such rookies, sand thieves can rely on flexibility, familiarity with ground conditions, and clever techniques to fight against three or even more in small conflicts.

However, after the two sides completely formed a formation, the sand thieves who were still rushing up even if they chose their favorite low sand dunes as the starting point for the charge, they still could not pose any substantial threat to the neatly formed halberd sword array.

After experiencing the initial fear, the recruits who carefully opened their eyes found that the ferocious sand thieves were actually... that's the case?

Although the casualties of the soldiers in the front row were not light, most of the soldiers in the halberd phalanx from the second row were not injured. Instead, the seemingly unstoppable sand thieves were actually like giving their heads, with deadly and wounded wounds all over the ground, corpses and groaning seriously injured.

Then, before these recruits could understand, the captain's order came back again - "Go forward!"

So, in the rhythm of the drum beats, the soldiers began to take steps, holding up their long halberds and starting to step forward.
Chapter completed!
