Nasus never expected the people of this city to rebuild Shurima. Most of the young people here didn't have the golden spirit of Shurima. They didn't have the golden spirit of Shurima, the kind that didn't fear the darkness, the kind that didn't put themselves in danger, and the kind that didn't regret dying in battle. Because without the blessing of the gods and a powerful ruler, such a spirit would be a joke.
Those who served the country and the people had a miserable ending. Those who were despicable and shameless lived a wonderful life.
Such things kept happening in the land of Shurima, so there was almost no way to see such a spirit in this country. This was the result of not having a wise leader, a diligent and honest management, and a nation that knew honor and disgrace. But what was interesting was that a strong country needed these people to build it. Therefore, they had to use blood and gold, destruction and reconstruction to make these people understand that sacrifice was meaningful. If they fought for everyone, not only would they be able to obtain sufficient rewards, but they would also be remembered by everyone and praised for eternity.
This was the cornerstone of the empire that he wanted to rebuild. But people would die, a lot of people. Only when they were truly hurt by the enemy could they understand the beauty of a strong force. There must be a target for revenge. Only now could these scattered people become the power in his hands. Those who were robbed of their wealth would explode with great power. Those whose loved ones were humiliated and tortured to death would be willing to do anything for revenge and would be willing to listen to anyone's orders. Now that no one was willing to rebuild the empire, this kind of army was what he needed.
"If you don't understand pain, you won't hate it. If you don't understand pain, you won't avoid it. Only those who have truly experienced this can become a qualified army in a short period of time. "
Grasping his battle axe tightly, Nasus added his own meaning.
"But this is too cruel … It's even crueler for those who are full of hope for the future. After all, they are standing on the city wall because they believe in you!"
Although Sarah understood the pros and cons, she still couldn't bear to do it because it was undoubtedly sending her own people to their deaths.
"So, you are not suitable to be a leader, Sarah. Although we are not qualified to decide whether another person should die, sometimes things are like this. If we don't do this, more people will die, and there will be a bigger disaster. Ascenders aren't gods, they're just mortals with great power. This is the only thing I've realized after wasting so much time. "
Shurima looked at the slowly approaching army under the city wall, and the scavengers who had bet everything on this war because he promised that as long as they died on the city wall, they would be able to receive his teachings. Shurima was the most humble person in the world. Even though he had told them yesterday that he was going to use kindness to their families to buy their lives, as well as to buy the luck and hope of others, he still couldn't believe it. But these people still chose to put their lives and hopes on him because for them, someone who needed their lives and would pay a price they didn't even dare to think about it.
If only Shurima was still here …
Looking at the weak and frail soldiers who couldn't even hold their weapons tightly, Nasus once again felt his heart being stirred by a sharp blade. But if he wanted to awaken these people who didn't believe in anything, their sacrifice was necessary.
"Get into formation! My soldiers! "
Nasus roared angrily.
"They are crusading against us because I am the last defender of the Shurima Empire! It is because I want to lead you to rebuild the Shurima Empire where you don't have to worry about your lives, not having enough to eat, or being invaded by foreign enemies! What I want to do is to raise the glorious empire from the grave and let you regain the glory and wealth you deserve! Not to let those idiots continue to rule you and let you live in poverty and ignorance forever! "
Nasus' roar didn't move anyone because it didn't matter if it was the citizens of the city, the 'soldiers' standing on the city walls, or the soldiers of the other lords who wanted to attack the city. They had never thought of such a thing. A complete kingdom wasn't something they could dream of. They had long forgotten what a united kingdom could bring them.
"Remember this! The new life of the empire begins with you. Our history will once again be cheered by your will! Come! No matter what you think! No matter what your goal is! Those who fight here will fight for Shurima! Those who bleed here will have the blood of Shurima flowing in their veins! "
No one really agreed with his roar. Only the scavenger soldiers who held their swords and entrusted their lives to the Ascended and kept their promises were fanciful. But what they fancied was the Shurima Empire where even the slaves could eat their fill, and the citizens of Shurima didn't need to work to get enough food and clothes. It was the Shurima Empire that existed in fantasy and myth.
"Cheer for this! Your blood and the blood of the Ascended shall be together! I will once again bring the myth in your hearts to this place! "
The spinning axe in his hand slammed into the ground beneath his feet. Then, in this small, rundown city, the ancient divine power once again appeared in the world.
"Yellow sand of Shurima! Protect your people! "
The divine power that came from the sun was a condensation of the memories and magic of countless generations of Shurima's dynasties. Nassus infused his power into the magic circle hidden under the ground, and a scene that shocked countless people appeared. The yellow sand that covered Shurima slowly rose under the effect of his divine power, shining with golden light under the noon sun. The broken city walls of the ruined city were repaired and built into a golden city wall that was more than ten meters tall and twenty meters wide.
This was an army spell that once required the arrangement and support of several groups of mages, as well as the leadership of multiple Ascended. But now, it was cast by Nasus alone, and once again appeared in this beautiful place that had long forgotten everything about Shurima. He firmly protected everything in it, leaving only the wall where he was standing to attack.
Looking at the war behemoths that were out of control and charging towards the city walls, Nasus, who had performed a miracle, jumped high and smashed one of the behemoths. The axe in his hand grew as his body grew and became a terrifying weapon. He slammed it on the head of the behemoth, and then roared at the soldiers who were afraid because of this.
"Come! Try to break this golden city protected by the blood of the Ascended! "
