205, The Gods Who Cracked the Altar
The Duke Plain was in a melee, and Rod Dick also knew that Sio and others transported strategic supplies to Salem through the border of the cape to Salem in the name of trade. Gabrielto asked about Amon, and he was really concerned. Unfortunately, this well-informed city lord has not received any news for more than half a year, and Amon seemed to have disappeared from the world.
According to custom, Rhode Dick would go to the temple to pray, and he would lead the people to hold sacrifices during various city-state ceremonies. But the most important prayer in his personal heart was only one thing, that is, the war in the Duke Plain should not spread to Eju, otherwise the first thing to bear the pressure of war was the Cape City State. He also hoped that the city state of Salem could gain a foothold, hoped that Amon could be safe and sound, and that he would provide help within his ability in private.
Rod Dick had been asking about Amon for so long but had no idea that Amon would openly appear in the Cape City State. When he saw Amon, he fell from the carriage in surprise. He turned around and not only ordered the entire city state to arrest him, but also wrote a letter to Pharaoh Eju to apologize.
...
The temples of the city-states of the Eju Empire held two sacrifice ceremonies every month, and the people of the city-state can come to the temple. There are three major ceremonies every year, which is equivalent to the most important festival in the city-state. That day happened to be a ceremony to sacrifice to the god of An-La and a carnival for the citizens.
On this day, all the officials of various departments took a break. The people put on their new clothes and walked around the shops in the streets and alleys. It was rare to have such a leisurely and enjoyable day. After noon, everyone gathered in the Temple Square to chat and laugh, and many small vendors also carried loads and pushed carts around the square.
The city lord's carriage came, and Rod Dick was lifting the curtain to walk down, while the great magician Yi Bin led the priests to line up on the long steps, and the atmosphere was cheerful and peaceful. The heavy gate of the temple was open at this time. Looking from the front of the square, you could see the statue of the god in the main temple.
No one expected that at this moment, a figure suddenly flew out of the crowd and shot straight into the main temple like a terrifying fog. He waved a sword and slashed at the statue of Seth next to the statue of An-La, and then smashed the solid stone roof of the main temple into a big hole and flew away.
Tens of thousands of people exclaimed in unison, and then they were silent, staring at it with wide eyes and mouths open. Yi Bin, who was about to come over to say hello to Rod Dick, shouted in surprise, and waved his staff and soared into the sky and chased after him. However, Yi Bin had just flew over the temple, and another figure flew in the slant. The sharp axe in his hand was like a silver phantom, and an arc-shaped blade spread out to slash towards Yi Bin in the air.
Yi Bin was so scared that he almost flew away. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He turned around in the air and actually crawled into the big hole on the roof of the main temple and applied a thick layer of air element protection armor. The second person who suddenly flew out swung his axe to force Yi Bin to retreat, and then flew away.
Then everyone heard a very strange sound in the temple, and the crackling sound was endless. After half a meal, they heard a loud bang, just like some heavy object collapsed and scattered on the ground. The guards on duty had already chased after the troublemakers escaped, and the priests rushed into the hall to see Yi Bin's situation.
This kind of incident happened just as Rhode Dick was about to get off the car. He raised his head and looked at the sky, stunned, and fell down. The city lord fell when he got off the car, and the guard who was supposed to support turned his head and looked at the sky, but he couldn't hold on! Rhode Dick didn't care about these things, got up and ordered the entire city to arrest the assassin.
The Lord of Dick called the two people "assassins", but they did not assassinate anyone. If it was an assassin, it would be just an assassination of the statue of Seth. The first "assassin" rushed into the temple and swung it with a sword, and then broke through the roof and walked away. When the priests rushed into the temple, they saw Lord Yi Bin standing on the ground and looking at Seth's statue with a shocked look on his face.
The tall and strong stone statue slowly appeared on the edge of the eyebrows, and then the cracks spread and forked more and more. A crisp sound sounded in the temple. The statue of Seth's god was covered with cracks gradually turned like a spider web, and then it collapsed with a bang, shattering all over the ground.
Rhode Dick ordered the arrest of the "assassin", but who is the assassin? I don't know what it looks like? No one can see clearly! How to catch this? There is no way to find it! But Rhode Dick must make this gesture. The An-La Legion and the city-state garrison troops were dispatched urgently, searching for suspicious people day and night in various parts of the country. Many people who crowed and robbed were caught, and the mess was a mess!
This matter is quite serious. When the city-state sacrifice ceremony was held, military and political officials were present. In front of everyone, people were killed by a sword! If it is pursued, everyone, including Rhode Dick and Yi Bin, have been guilty. Knowing that the "assassin" could not be captured, Rhode Dick must do his best to pursue him. At the same time, he had already written a letter of guilt and was about to send someone to the capital of Eju together with the detailed report of the incident.
Rhode Dick was in trouble. In fact, he knew who those two were. The first one to rush into the temple and swing the sword was Amon. Although no one saw his face clearly, Rhode Dick was very familiar with his figure and momentum, even if he could recognize it with just a glance. The second one to swing axe in the air was of course Gabriel. It seemed that the great warrior had found Amon, and following Amon to do such an absurd thing, which made Rhode Dick suffer unrestrained disaster.
After the confession was written, Rhode Dick called his confidant again and privately told the king who should greet him and give him a kind of gift so that he could speak with him. This matter was considered unlucky, and Pharaoh would definitely order a reprimand. If you scold him, just scold him. It would be fine if there was no substantial punishment. Before he finished speaking, he heard another news, which made Rhode Dick breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that three days after the statue of Seth in the main temple of Cape City State was shattered by a sword, the same thing happened to the Tanis City State, which is closest to the city state of Cape City State. There was no sacrifice ceremony in the city of Tanis that day, and everything was very calm, but suddenly someone flew in the air to knock out a big hole in the roof of the main temple. He slashed at the statue of Seth with a sword and then flew away from the big hole. No one could react. The priests watched helplessly as the statue cracked and turned into pieces and collapsed.
The Lord of Tanis received an urgent report. He was just after dinner and was going downstairs. His feet were soft and he rolled down the stairs and broke an arm. The personal guards standing beside him were severely punished. How could he not support the Lord of the Lord?
The Lord of Tanis was not as calm as Rhode Dick when he encountered something, probably because he was scared. Instead, Rhode Dick was relieved. Although he didn't know why Amon and Gabriel were doing that, he also understood what they were doing. He didn't deliberately make trouble for the Cape City-State to take the blame. There would definitely be Pharaoh's reprimand, but there wouldn't be any substantial punishment. Maybe he would even comfort him in private.
Rhode Dick calmly asked his subordinates to go to the capital as planned, with many gifts and apology, and at the same time, he closely monitored the movements of other city-states. As expected by this shrewd city lord, seven days later, the same thing happened in the Bushiri city-state west of Tanis; half a month later, the "assassin" broke into the main temple of Bubass city-state south of Tanis, and shattered the statue of Archangel Set with one sword.
In the next month, the city-states of Atri, Rocai, and Helio were successively shocking "big events" in the city-states of Atri, Rocai, and Helio on the east bank of the Ronnie River. The content was the same, the time and place were different. A crazy "assassin" suddenly rushed into the main temple of the city-state and did nothing else. He just slashed at the statue of Angel Seth with a sword, and then flew into the sky.
When he was in the cape city-state, Gabriel appeared with Amon, but later when something happened to these city-states, Gabriel simply did not appear.
This man must be crazy, a madman among the madmen, who made such crazy actions that exceeded the imagination of the world! But he is so powerful, so powerful that it is terrifying! People are talking about him as a crazy big magician, and at least a level eight magician, because he can fly, the power of the sword in his hand has dazzling and shocking magic effect. As for what kind of magic it is, ordinary people can't figure it out.
What kind of strange and terrifying existence is the great magician who does not hold a staff but uses a sword? What a solemn and noble place in the temple, the man rushed in like a slaughtering the door for revenge. He didn't think he was a desperate person, this man did not hurt anyone, he just attacked the statue of Seth. There are many large and small statues of Seth in various places, but this man only looked for the one in the main temples of each city-state.
In more than two months so far, the man had crushed the statue of Seth in the main temples of seven city-states east of the Ejuroni River. The impact and shock of this incident were too great, and the entire Eju Empire was about to go into trouble. The garrison troops from all over the country went to search, and the Eju Academy of the Divine Arts and the Emperor's Division also sent a large number of masters to chase him.
As for other city-states that the assassin has not visited, they are all ready to face the battle. They guard their respective main temples with airtightness and must never let this "demon who blasphemed the gods" succeed. Amon's current name has risen from "assassin" to "demon who blasphemed the gods". His purpose is not to fight against the military formation, but to destroy a statue of a god that cannot be moved there, and he can go without any hesitation, and he may appear in any city-state at any time.
The city-states of Eju cannot move the statue of Seth from the main temple, dig a hole to bury it and hide it, right? In fact, when Amon destroyed the statue of Seth from the four city-states, the nearby city-states had been on guard for a long time, but he still succeeded. The small city-states in the hinterland of Eju that were not strategically rushing cannot be held in charge. Even if a group of priests and warriors were sent to guard the temple gate, they would probably not be able to stop Amon's sudden attack.
Helio City State also specially gathered all the magicians to set up a magician array in the temple, but the magicians could not set up a warning day and night, and waited for a month without any movement. When everyone relaxed, Amon suddenly ran into the gate one morning and rushed into the temple. Before the priests could use the magician array, Amon had already left with a sword.
So far, no one has seen the face of this lunatic. Although Rhode Dick knew it, he didn't say anything to anyone. Everyone didn't know that the "demon who blasphemed the gods" was Amon. Later, various rumors spread in the Eju Empire like plagues, and some people were even talking about that man was not a demon, but a god who had a grudge against Seth!
Of course, there were many masters in the Eju Empire. The Eju Divinity Academy also sent special personnel to various city-states to inspect the statues that were shattered by demons. Several veterans of the Divinity Academy had seen the remains of the statues and heard the people present describe the scene in detail at that time. They unanimously believed that the man was at least an eighth-level warrior, or even a nine-level warrior.
A great warrior who can fly freely is shocking! In traditional concepts, this is the divine power that only gods or messengers of gods possess. A powerful warrior can jump with all his strength, and can rush into the temple like a demon to break the statue of the gods, or break through the roof and rush to escape, but it is impossible to fly straight to the sky without a trace in an instant.
The messengers of gods are usually called gods on earth, such as the cat god Best, the frog god Hayquit, the crocodile god Sobek and others. There are ten gods in the nine-linked gods, including Horus, and the rest of the gods are regarded as messengers of the gods. Now the Eju Empire believes in Allah as the only god, so the other gods and messengers are called angels, and Seth is the eldest of the angels.
If you are facing such an "angel", then the situation will be even more serious!
Some great masters discussed in private that this might be the revenge of Horus, the former emperor god of the Empire. One of the elders of the Eju Theological Academy, the former Temple of Isis, and the high priest of the Temple of Seth, inspected two destroyed statues and reported to Pharaoh Elakht that the means of destroying the statues resembled the miners' skills of Duke Town, so it was speculated that the man was probably Amon.
Burke said it well, and his guess was also based. Because after General Amon left Eju, he was regarded as the god of Amon in the city of Salem in the Duke plain. Perhaps he really already possessed the means of the gods.
Is Amon really a god who came to the world, or a messenger sent by a certain god system to the world? Otherwise, how could a little miner in Duke Town miraculously establish a merit that shocked the continent? Those who saw Bulke's secret report couldn't help but think so, but no one could tell it publicly.
Although Amon left Eju for a year, the reputation of this imperial general remained unabashed and was admired by many people. Psalms praising him were still sung everywhere. Pharaoh sent people to chase Amon without an open secret order. On the surface, General Amon did not violate any Eju decree. As for the killing of Prince Sneke, it was left unresolved. No one in the court was willing to mention his name, but Amon's influence among the people was getting bigger and bigger.
As for matters, Amon just went to the territory of the Duke Plain, which was also his hometown, and was the late Pharaoh Rases II publicly ordered the reward to Amon. Therefore, the general's behavior was not to defect, but to return to his hometown with the reward of Pharaoh to build his dream city-state. On the way back to his hometown, Amon also defeated the great magician of Cialia in Hati, the beautiful invincible princess, and thus obtained the support of the Hati Empire for his establishment of a city-state.
This is the story of Amon in the folk, and it is also true that Amon's reputation has not diminished in the minds of the Egyptian people, but his legendary story has made more people yearn for and respect, and its influence has even surpassed any famous hero in history.
Amon was regarded as a god in the city of Salem. After many people heard about it, they worshiped him even more from the bottom of their hearts. If the god really came to the world and experienced everything as a mortal, then it should be Amon, who is the God in people's dreams.
Many people probably didn't expect why Amon had such a great influence, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully. In this society with strict hierarchy, Amon's experience broke through too many constraints and obstacles, which was the dream in the hearts of most ordinary people.
His origin was only the son of a lowly miner in Duke Town. When he was a teenager, his home was destroyed and wandered around, but he established a merit that shocked the mainland and established a miraculous city-state in his hometown, and was eventually regarded as a god. His story is more inspiring than the deeds of any noble emperor.
Many people admire Amon, and to put it bluntly, it is also due to a mentality of self-replacement and compensation. Most people in the world cannot have noble origins, but Amon was once the same person as them. Even if they cannot do things, they can dream. The achievements Amon achieved seem to be like his own achievements in his dreams.
Pharaoh Elaht and a few senior officials of the empire could not make it public even if he recognized Burke's speculation. If the Eju Empire really caught the blasphemous "demon" and found that he was Amon, he would not declare him Amon, but would give him another name or the title of a demon.
But it is not easy to catch the "demon". Even if he is not an "angel", a level nine warrior god left without a single attack. It took more than two months just to destroy the seven statues of gods. If he cannot find out his accurate whereabouts, there is no way to mobilize masters to pursue them.
After the incidents of seven city-states one after another, the "devil"'s erratic whereabouts finally became clear. All seven city-states east of the Ronnie Divine River in Xia Eju were in trouble. Judging from the route he passed, it should be from the Cape City State to enter the Aiju, from east to west and then south. The next step should be to cross the Ronnie Divine River to reach Mengfeisi City.
He already knew or guessed that the "demon" was Amon's people, such as Rhode Dick, and knew a little about what was going on. - Amon was avenging Saint Mary. He wanted to destroy the statue of Seth in the main temples of all city-states in Eju one by one, and openly challenge and humiliate the archangel in front of the world.
