Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 2250 Isn’t This a Dog’s Head?
Lin Jiu was high up and had a panoramic view of the surroundings of Vikaola. The sun was shining on the inferior metal disc. The sun disc reflected thousands of flakes of sunlight, and the metal surface was very rough, obviously not polished enough.

The hemp rope was an eyesore, and the poor craftsmanship of the Vikaura people was fully exposed here. The top floor was almost completely undecorated, with no huge stone platform engraved with the starry sky, no crimson curtains, and no reliefs of heroes who had passed the ascension ceremony. On three sides of Vikaura, there were only barren sand dunes stretching to the end of the sky.

On the east side of the city, the land rises to form large, hard, low foothills covered with the hard branches of drought-resistant desert palms and banawal trees. Their roots are hundreds of meters long, penetrating deep into the sand to suck water.

Most of the bandits in the Shurima Desert are brutal, cunning, and ruthless. They usually have no fixed moral concepts and only act according to their own interests and desires.

In the desert, they may make a living by robbing and pillaging, attacking passing merchants, villages, and even small towns. They act decisively and ruthlessly, often able to plunder everything and retreat unscathed in a short period of time. Therefore, their arrival plunged the newly prosperous Vikaola into chaos and fear.

"There's something wrong with this bandit group." Isabella, who was beside Lin Jiu, stared at the attacking bandit group and easily spotted the abnormality.

Although Isabella had never seen other bandit groups in the Shurima Desert, she had noticed something. Most normal desert bandit groups wore simple and practical clothing to adapt to the harsh desert environment. They wore tattered cloaks or leather armor, wide-brimmed hats to block the scorching sun, and their faces were often covered with mud or masks to hide their identities.

The bandits who attacked Vikaura were wearing uniform and exquisite armor. They wore steel helmets, and their faces were covered with half-masks or masks, revealing only their sharp eyes. The weapons in their hands included sharp swords, heavy hammers and spears, as well as bows and crossbows that were good at long-range attacks.

The other weapons were fine. The exquisite armor, bows and crossbows looked like the equipment of an army, not a bandit group that made a living by looting caravans and gathering places in the desert.

"I'm afraid it's a bandit group disguised as warriors from other forces. The probability is very high that they are from Noxus." Isabella saw the neat and orderly attacking team and analyzed beside Lin Jiu. Isabella didn't read so many books for nothing, so it was easy for her to judge the details of this bandit group.

Initially, the bandit groups in the Shurima Desert were probably formed by scavengers who could not survive. But as time went by, the bandit groups have become complicated. There are orthodox desert bandit groups, which are probably only one or two large bandit groups, and most of them are small bandit groups. Others are bandit groups supported by various forces behind them.

It is somewhat similar to the banditry in ancient times in the real world. Many bandits are supported by someone behind the scenes in order to use this as a threat and gain more benefits and power.

In the Shurima Desert, various forces support the bandit groups with only two main purposes. One is to plant a stake in the Shurima Desert to guard their mineral resources and other interests; the other is to use the name of the bandit group to rob the caravans of hostile forces and attack them.

In this situation, from time to time, you can see two bandit groups fighting each other in the Shurima Desert. Their fighting is not for something, but simply because the forces behind them are hostile to each other.

The operation of supporting the bandit group was restrained at first, and they would usually choose a native of the Shurima Desert to support, develop their power, and perfectly integrate into it. As Shurima was divided, this operation has developed to the point where it is now undisguised and blatant.

Just like the bandit group in front of us, they are well-equipped, and only the decorations on their armor are in the Shurima style. They don’t look like a normal Shurima bandit group at all.

Isabella's analysis that this bandit group came from Noxus was not without reason. Other forces in Shurima who supported the bandit group were no more than nobles from the Twin Cities. Their main goal was magic crystals, not city-states. Only Noxus, a kingdom that expanded through war, was interested in attacking city-states.

"When will we take action?"

"No hurry, wait a little longer." Lin Jiu had already sensed many beings in the Vikaola city-state whose soul aura was stronger than that of ordinary people. He was not in a hurry to take action, but his eyes were fixed on the unit with the strongest soul aura. He was approaching the Temple of the Sun in the center of Vikaola.

Lin Jiu could feel that the strength of this figure's soul aura was at the seventh level, and few contractors could compare with it. If this guy took action, he would definitely be a match for the bandit group attacking outside the city.

"Turns out it's him." Lin Jiu saw the figure who arrived in front of the Temple of the Sun and was intercepted by the guards and revealed his true face. He also recognized him. No wonder the soul aura was so strong. Isn't this Dog Head... Ahem, you have to call him the God of Death outside.

Standing before the guards was Nasus, an Ascended being who had existed in a time when heroes still walked among mortals, his body reforged by the magic of the sun disc, his withered and dying flesh transformed into a jackal-headed demigod in an obsidian body.

His chest and shoulders were covered with weathered gold armor and a votive belt with the Shurima emblem. He reached out and tore off the cloth wrapped around his "staff", revealing a long-handled battle axe. The axe blade gleamed with excitement, and the aquamarine gem in the center drank in the sunlight.

"Get out of the way!" Nasus didn't think the bandit group outside would be a threat. At most, it would cause some civil unrest in the city-state. His matters at the Temple of the Sun were more important.

The guard cowered, but did not move. Nasus sighed and swung his axe in a half arc in front of him. He thrust the end of the axe upward, striking one of the warriors and flinging him thirty yards away. Then he used the momentum to strike the other warrior downward, sending him sprawling into the dirt. Nasus left the warrior groaning in pain behind and reached up to the first flight of stairs with his clawed feet.

As he climbed the temple, Nasus couldn't help but think of the past. His wasting disease had prevented him from climbing on his own, so his brother had been carrying him on his back.

When they finally reached the top, the sun was about to reach the zenith. His life was slipping away like sand in a broken hourglass. He begged Renekton to let him go, to let him face the sun alone. But Renekton just shook his head.

As a mortal, Renekton was volatile, sometimes violent and cruel, but also graceful and courageous in equal measure. The energies of the Ascension granted him divine power, and it was Renekton who ultimately fought the treacherous Witch Spirits in the Emperor's Tomb.

Nasus reached the top of the temple, trying to clear his mind of thoughts about Renekton. Across the boiling sea of ​​sand, a monster was roaring Nasus' name.

"Neguro has already appeared here, doesn't that mean that Crocodile and Xerath have escaped? Tsk~ Then Shurima will be in chaos next." Lin Jiu thought to himself, this is a good thing, the return of Shurima's high-end combat power is quite good for him. The premise is that Azir and Xerath can love and kill each other, and don't come to interfere with him.
