Chapter 148: Shurima and Icathia, the Birth of Saijax

Many people, not just Nasus, felt that a part of Renekton's humanity had been lost during his transformation. He seemed to have become more brutal and bloodthirsty, and rumors of his wartime atrocities began to spread.

The battlefield is becoming more and more suitable for Renekton. With his ascended body, he is simply invincible on the battlefield!
The film shows Renekton's performance in battles. Now he not only has sharp weapons in his hands, but also opens his bloody mouth and uses sharp teeth to bite off the enemy's throat. The name "Desert Butcher" is also spreading on battlefields everywhere in Shurima. The advantage is that for Renekton, some enemies often flee without a fight or even surrender directly when they know that the Desert Butcher is on the opposite side, but at the same time, Renekton's brutal performance on the battlefield will sometimes provoke more fierce attacks from the enemy.

However, facing Renekton, who has already become an Ascended being, the enemy's attacks are often vulnerable.

Because of his bloody exploits, even the mortal soldiers under Renekton fear him more than they respect him.

This is the invasion of an ancient kingdom by the Shurima Empire. The enemy's capital is called Nashrameh. Under the order of the Shurima Emperor, the legion leading the siege is Nasus's legion, and Renekton is the vanguard of the Shurima army!

Just like the Desert Butcher's performance on the battlefield in the past, Renekton and his soldiers are invincible. The enemy's resistance only arouses his bloodthirstiness and tyranny. Even though Nashrameh has a long history, it still cannot stop the power of the Shurima Ascended Legion.

Finally, Renekton led his troops to break through the city gates of Nashrameh. After the army entered the ancient city, the war was over and the ancient city was finally brought under the rule of Shurima.

But it doesn’t end there!
There are still soldiers in Nashramei resisting the entry of the Shuriman army. The street fighting is even more intense than the siege. Even Renekton's body is left with scars from the enemy's weapons, which finally aroused his tyranny and made him crazy!
The mad Renekton tore apart all enemies that stood in his way. Even the buildings were smashed by him under his godly body after using the power of ascension, including the Great Library of Nashrameh in front of him, which was preserved by Nasus' request!

When Nasus led his army to the city, what he saw was not the buildings of the ancient city with a long history and civilization, but a ruin. All the books were buried under the ruins and even stained with blood.

Even he was shocked by the tragic scene before him, and then he was furious.

——"That's right! Renekton has been charging into battle the whole time. Nasus is now considered a civilian official!"

Nasus later learned that it was his brother Renekton who razed the great library of Nashramae and massacred all who stood in his way.

——"Oh no! I feel like Nasus may not be able to defeat Renekton!"

That was the closest the two brothers had ever come to a bloody conflict. They stood in the ruins, swords drawn. The dog-headed god faced the ferocious crocodile, and under their feet was the shattered Nashrameh Library. None of the mortal soldiers around dared to approach and dissuade them.

——"Holy crap!! Are Nasus and Renekton going to fight?"

——"Who knows? They are all Ascended now! And Nasus must have received martial arts training!"

The audience couldn't help but worry when seeing the tense scene in front of them. Could it be that just like between Yone and Yasuo, there would be a battle between the brothers Nasus and Renekton?

Even the rest of the Ascendants in the Legion did not dare to go over and persuade the brothers to leave. Perhaps the only ones who could do that were the War Queen Setaka and Aatrox. Fortunately, the thing everyone was worried about did not happen.

Even though Renekton has become brutal, he is still a staunch defender of Shurima and the younger brother of Nasus. Just like when they were children, Nasus often teaches Renekton how to be impulsive and reckless and fight with others.

Renekton must have thought of all this, and finally, under his brother's stern and disappointed eyes, Renekton's bloodthirsty nature finally faded away, and he left in shame.

The audience in front of the screen all breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone remembered what happened in the last duel between the two brothers. Fortunately, such a tragedy did not happen again.

However, after this incident, everyone has a new understanding of Renekton's tyranny. His personality is very different from Nasus. After ascension, he has the appearance of a crocodile and his characteristics in this aspect are magnified a lot!
Apparently Nasus also discovered this, and in the following days, he sat in the capital of Shurima, responsible for collecting and compiling books and knowledge sent from all over the empire. Renekton was also confined to the capital by him, and Nasus assigned his brother a new position of teaching the royal children about fighting.

His experience in battlefield battles came in handy, and the two brothers were together, making it easy for Nasus to restrain his brother's tyrannical nature!
It has to be said that Nasus's arrangement for his younger brother made everyone deeply admire his wisdom!
If Renekton represents the military force of Shurima and the violence of this empire's conquests, then Nasus represents the wisdom of Shurima!
The days that followed were supposed to be a peaceful time for Nasus, as he immersed himself in the knowledge he had gathered from civilizations around the world, with Renekton under his protection.

The Shurima Empire ruled the entire world. In the eyes of the emperor, the entire world was bathed in the light of the sun disk, and the Shurima god-warriors were invincible.

All Shurimans believed that their empire would last forever and that such days would continue for a long time.

However, they forgot the thoughts of the nations conquered by Shurima, and the slaves enslaved by the nobles.

The Icathians have never forgotten their history, and in their eyes, Icathia has always been an independent country.

Although they were forced to join Shurima under the Shurima Ascendant Legion, they have always been an autonomous kingdom with their own governing council, which is composed of outstanding mages, philosophers, and legislators who jointly supervise the change of power.

However, the Shurima Empire merely incorporated the Kingdom of Icathia into its territory, but did not truly accept them.

This can be seen from the arrangements made by the War Queen Setaka. The Shurimans did not allow the Kingdom of Icathia to build its own walls. They wanted Icathia to always remember its defeat against Shurima.

Just like that, time flew by and hundreds of years passed.

The Icathians' dissatisfaction with the Shuriman Empire grew, and a child named Saijax Kayo-Raynes Icathon was born in this country.
