206, the battle of a man and an empire
206, One man and one empire
Many people thought of a terrifying inside story. The Saint Mary launched a storm of destruction in the Temple of Isis, and was forced by what kind of demon. After thinking about it, there is only one greatest possibility, that is not the demon that came to the world, but the Angel Celtic Seth himself. No matter who it is, he couldn't help but shivered at the thought of this. He could only think about it but could never say it!
The Temple of Isis in Mengfeisi City has now become the Temple of Seth. It is the only temple named after Seth among the main temples of each city-state, and it is also the most important temple in Xia'eju. Everyone believes that the "demon" will never let this temple go, so the next target of the "demon" must be Mengfeisi.
Mengfeisi City is not like other places. It not only has the imperial elite Isis legion, but also has six great magicians and eleven great warriors in the city, and also the largest priest team of priests in Lower Egypt. No matter how powerful Amon is, he cannot come and go freely when the Temple of Seth is guarded. As long as the demon comes, he must not be allowed to escape! - This is the order given by Pharaoh Eju.
In case, the divine art formation that covered the entire Mengfeisi City was also activated. The first time this formation was activated was not because of war but because of one person. Although it did not fully develop the offensive and defensive power during the war, it only launched the most powerful detection function, but the number of divine stones consumed every day was also amazing. A great magician and more than a dozen priests needed to take turns to preside over the formation.
Amon did take action again, but to the disappointment of all the waiters, he did not go to Meng Feisi, but went south along the Ronnie River, crossed the river two hundred miles away to the west bank, and suddenly broke into Herac City. The "demon" rushed into the main temple of the city and repeated the same trick, slashed at the statue of Set with a sword and then rushed out of the siege and flew to the sky. The temple guards of the city-state did not catch up, and the large number of masters who rushed from Meng Feisi did not find the "demon".
At this time, someone remembered that Amon was once a general of the Empire. He was proficient in military tactics. He not only commanded military formations and could fight tough battles, but also was particularly good at surprise attacks. Could he do this by attacking the north and digging the tiger away from the mountain? He attacked the Herac city-state in a short time and attracted Meng Feisi's masters. He turned back to attack the Temple of Seth. So Xia Eju hurriedly gathered the masters to prevent the tricks of the "devil" in the Temple of Seth.
But Amon's whereabouts were once again unexpected. He ran two thousand miles in three days and three nights, heading south along the Ronnie Divine River, and successively attacked the city-state of Polis and the main temple of Pano. Seeing that his posture had left the Lower Eju and entered the Eju, people couldn't help but be shocked again. Could the "demon" attack the temple of the King's Capital City?
Pharaoh Elacht was building the new capital Hilmore six hundred miles south of the city of Des, but the city of Des is still the economic, political and theories of Upper Eju. The guarding power is even more stringent than Meng Feisi. He immediately opened the divine formation that guarded the entire city, and sent masters and a large number of elite guards to guard the main temples of several small city-states nearby.
However, after waiting for more than a month, there was still no movement from the "devil". The man seemed to have given up his continuous crazy actions, but the area of Des City did not dare to relax his vigilance. At this moment, the city-state of Lower Ejubhutto, six thousand miles away from Des City, came again that the main temple was attacked by the "devil", and the statue of Seth was still destroyed.
The city-state of Bhutto is north of Mengfeisi, and is already the northernmost border of the empire adjacent to the sea. Amon turned back to Xia'eju, and built such a large circle, attacking a city-state that no one could have imagined. Before people could react, Amon suddenly went west along the coastline and attacked another coastal city-state Rosetta city-state.
Amon rushed into the main temple of Rosetta City State and slashed at the statue of Set with a sword. When flying away in the air, he was intercepted by a great magician and a great warrior, and two other shuttles were surrounded by the side. But before the army formed an encirclement, another "demon" took action to respond to Amon and broke through.
The city-state of Rosetta is the garrison of the Osiris Legion guarding the northern coast of the empire, so its defense is not weak. Gabriel, who secretly assisted Amon, took action again.
In four months, Amon attacked the main temples of twelve city-states in succession. As a top ninth-level warrior or ninth-level magician, his "war record" is actually insignificant. After so long and sophisticated surprise attack tactics, he traveled thousands of miles but did not kill a single enemy, and only destroyed the twelve statues of the gods.
But the shock caused by this incident to the Eju Empire is indescribable. Amon can be said to have caused the heaviest blow to the Eju Empire at the lowest cost. Every sword swinging towards the statue was equivalent to slashing the fatal weakness, and even the foundation of this Empire Building was invisibly invisible.
This is the battle between Amon and a huge empire. If he was still a general, this tactic would be too destructive. It was despicable and outrageous, but it was terrible and trembling!
This is a country where the power of theocracy and royal power are united. The pharaohs who ruled the empire symbolized the incarnation of the gods on earth. The temples of each city-state are also the spiritual pillars of the people. The sacrifice ceremony held in the temple is the most important spiritual life, entertainment life and political life in various places. Amon's crazy actions have caused the city-states to be warned around the main temple for several consecutive months. The normal sacrifice activities have completely stopped, and the authority of the gods and the empire's rule has been hit and questioned.
Although the only one who destroyed the statue of the gods was destroyed, it was no longer an emergency, but was constantly being staged in various parts of the Eju Empire. People couldn't help but ask, where was the Angel, Seth? The statues of the gods in the main temples of the city-states in various places were cut down from the altar like people cutting melons and vegetables. Why could Pharaoh Eju, who represented the incarnation of the gods on earth, could not stop it?
Seth is known as the chief angels, and now the impression that it leaves on the people is timid, incompetent and cowardly. If Seth cannot use his miracle to punish the "demon", then who will sincerely sacrifice to him? The "great archangel" Seth has not stopped the devil's behavior for a long time. His image in the minds of the people of Egypt has collapsed day by day with the collapse of the god's statue.
Amon could not force Seit to appear, and did not fight him face to face, but in this way, he pushed him down from the altar with one sword after another.
Amon's approach is also a great adventure. He will be crushed to pieces if he is not careful. No matter how capable he is, he cannot fight against the army of Aju and many masters. Once blocked, even Gabriel is supported, he will not be able to escape. But on the other hand, Pharaoh of Aju, the elders of the Aju Divinity Academy, and the senior officials of the Imperial Division are even more troubled at this moment.
They were not facing a large army or an enemy fighting head-on. The demon was more like a bandit who came and went like the wind, and the craziest madman in the history of the Tianshu Continent! This man put life and death aside, and even the gods were not afraid of it, but he acted very strangely and cautiously. He wandered around the huge territory of the Aiju, never leaving a place. I don’t know where he would be and when he would appear?
At first, except for a few insiders who had guessed Amon's identity, most people didn't even understand the purpose of this "demon". But later, many people gradually realized that this "demon" was probably really a god, either Horus was revenge, an evil god from a foreign land, or Amon who had ascended the altar in the distant Duke Plain.
I don’t know when, but there was a rumor coming from where this series of events was that God Amon was challenging Archangel Set. Some people even said that God Amon had killed Seth. But no one can be sure of the facts, and I am afraid that only the real gods themselves know it.
Seth has trouble with Seth, Eju has trouble with Eju, and Pharaoh even more trouble with Pharaoh. Don’t forget that the meaning of the name Pharaoh “Eracht” is “the glory of An-La, the guardian of Seth”.
Pharaoh Elaht convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. Someone thought of a stupid solution. Among the city-states in the country that have not been "paid" yet, a great magician and two great warriors were sent to sit in the main temple. Especially the two great warriors must wear weapons and take turns to guard against the statue of Seth day and night. If the "demon" rushes into the temple, at least one blow can prevent him from destroying the statue of the god. Others can take the opportunity to entangle it, even if it is to figure out the identity of the "demon".
This is a very effective and stupid method, but it was rejected by most people. First, it is because it is difficult to gather so many masters, and second, even if you can barely get all of them, you cannot disperse all the masters to do this. If this is true, many important daily government and military affairs of the Aiju Empire will not be able to operate normally, and the gain will not be worth the cost.
On the other hand, Pharaoh Elaht and the priests of the empire kept praying to the gods and asking the gods to descend the oracle to punish the demons. They did receive the oracle. It is said that the angels have come to the world and are arresting the demons everywhere. The demons are too cunning and are hiding in a very good way. They have not yet captured them, but the angels will eventually capture them and hand them over to the Eju Empire for disposal.
...
There are dozens of divine envoys in the Nine-Link Gods, and they are the most dangerous force Amon faces. According to what he knows in Schrödinger's soul imprint, more than ten of these dozen divine envoys are good at fighting, and Amon has already experienced it in the Nine-Link Gods Palace, so he definitely doesn't want to have such an experience again.
Amon himself also has the ninth level of achievement of original power, and he is very familiar with the habits of the divine envoys. Those people will never be willing to take risks in person unless they have to. The god envoys in the Jiulian Temple did not react at first. When they realized that the situation was serious and made a big move, they found that Amon's whereabouts were difficult to find.
The gods decided to concentrate their strength at the beginning to wait for the rabbit in several important city-states, but Amon did not come and the situation was getting out of control. So they made another decision, and sent a god envoy to stare at each city-state's main temple. These god envoys may not be Amon's opponents, but they had a very special way of transmission. Once Amon's traces were found, they immediately summoned the god envoys from nearby city-states to rush over.
When Amon's trace was not found, this was the best arrangement, and it really worked.
Amon was briefly blocked when he attacked the Temple of Rosetta. At that time, Cabri, the god of insects in the Nine-Linked Gods, happened to arrive at the city-state of Rosetta, but did not take action at the first time, but immediately sent a message to other gods who rushed to the nearby city-state. Edjo, the snake god who originally planned to go to the city-state of Sheith, was the first to come to meet.
Cambry intercepted Amon halfway, and Cambry also tried to entangle Amon and waited for other divine envoys to come one after another. Amon saw that the situation was dangerous and worked with Gabriel to repel the two divine envoys. Without any entanglement, he immediately fled far away, left the border of Aju and the Jiulian divine realm to the north, and flew into the vast sea from afar.
Their escape was thrilling, but they were not caught in the end. For a long time, the envoys of the gods were still waiting hard in the temples of the Eju City-State, but Amon did not appear again.
Amon had already thought of what countermeasures the Jiulian Gods envoys had taken. The Rosetta city-state happened to be located on the northern border of the Jiulian Gods Realm, so he could still escape calmly when he encountered the insect god Cable. However, if he continued to go deep into the hinterland of Eju to attack other city-state temples, he might have fallen into the trap, so he fled far away and left without a sound.
Amon is active, while the Gods of the Nine-Linked Gods are passive. Amon can choose the right time and place before taking action. When can those Gods of the Gods wait? Amon finally confirmed something, and Seth is absolutely unwilling to see him. The situation has reached this level, and the archangel has not appeared yet. Then even if Amon cut down all the statues of Seth in the main temples of the twenty-four city-states in the entire Eju territory, Seth will not appear.
This at least shows one situation. For Seth, there are more important issues to consider than the status of the main god. Compared with the meaning of the existence of the gods, Seth attaches more importance to the existence of the gods. He has transcended eternal life and is a nearly eternal existence. He is unwilling to fight against Amon. This is something that may lead to his fall. Even if his status collapses in the minds of the people of Egypt, Seth has to bear it.
Perhaps this god was seriously injured and had not recovered so far. He thought he was no match for Amon, or was afraid of the power of the storm of destruction.
Everyone knows that Nero successfully made a storm of destruction, and Amon obtained the relics of Nero, which is also the reason why many powerful gods were unwilling to provoke Amon head-on. Sett was not wary of Mary at the beginning, and he never expected that Mary would launch a real storm of destruction. Some people speculated that it was given to Mary by Amon, but no one dared to fully confirm it.
The Temple of Isis once concentrated on scroll making masters, and tried to create a storm of destruction but it was not successful. But the real situation was probably only Goddess Isis and the saints of all generations knew. What if the storm of destruction in Mary was not derived from Amon? What if Nero made a storm of destruction made by him was not one but two, and after Amon gave Mary one, he still had one in his hand?
This possibility is very small, but Seth dares not bet. If the judgment is wrong, his eternal life will really die. So no matter what Amon does, Seth will never appear.
What is interesting is that Maria once said: "When I hear your voice, I feel like I have seen your fall." Sett escaped because he did not want to lose his eternal life. Is it because of this that Maria foresaw the fall of this god?
Amon took Gabriel away from the tracking of the insect god Cable and the snake god Edjo, and flew into the vast sea in the north, far away from the scope of the Nine-Lian Divine Realm. Shortly after they escaped, the other dozen divine envoys also rushed to the sea of Rosetta City, but did not chase into the sea to search for Amon.
The sea is vast, and it is difficult to find a place to hide. Moreover, the gods and envoys stayed away from the divine realm and searched for someone aimlessly. The Jiulian Temple and the Aju Empire were empty, which was also inappropriate. So after a brief consultation, they returned to the main temple of the city-state that they guarded.
Amon and Gabriel flew at low altitude almost against the top of the sea. The waves and turbulent light and shadows on the sea were also conducive to using the stealth magic to hide traces. They flew for several days and nights, and when Amon was sure that there was no longer any pursuers, they finally stopped on an isolated island.
The island is about five miles long and three miles wide. There are two mountains on the island, one high and one short. The taller mountain is halfway up, and there is a pool formed by rainwater accumulation in natural rock mortars. It is a place where people can live. However, it is located thousands of miles away from the mainland, and there are no other islands within thousands of miles around, so it is rarely visited.
The island is covered with lush jungle, surrounded by shallow waters and beaches, and is home to a large number of marine animals. Amon also found dilapidated houses on the half slope between the two mountains, built by cutting down trees on the island, which was left a long time ago, indicating that someone had visited here. It may be where pirates had stayed, or the fleet that crossed the sea had temporarily stopped for supplies, but now there is no trace of people.
Amon decided to stay here for a while. The environment was very good and was suitable for seclusion. He would not harass the temples of the Aju city-state for the time being. Let the Pharaoh and the Gods of the Nine-Linked Gods wait for it.
...
Amon was far away from Aju, and was practicing in the blue sky and blue sea, silently accumulating strength, but the troubles of the Aju Empire did not end immediately because of Amon's departure. Based on previous experience, no one could tell where the "demon" would appear after disappearing for a period of time. The city-states were still facing great enemies, and the gods were still alert around the temples. The operation of the daily affairs of the entire empire was seriously disturbed and was in an abnormal state.
Although the envoys of the gods did not intercept Amon in the city-state of Rosetta, they did not gain nothing. They finally determined the identity of the "demon who blasphemed the gods", the "God Amon" from the city of Salem in the Duke Plain. Pharaoh Aju and the high priests of the empire who prayed to the gods every day, finally heard the latest oracle.
What is surprising is that the person who brought the oracle this time was not an angel, but the father of the gods of the Nine-Linked Gods. Now the "only god" believed in by the Eju Empire - An-La!
