223, Winners and Losers

The agreed meeting time was in the morning. Semir and Faust hid themselves in the middle of the night and quietly jumped down the city wall and headed towards the deep mountains of the Youdi River Valley to the east. Under the current complex situation, not only the great masters of the Duke Plain attacked and defended each other, but also the gods were quietly paying attention to this place. They did not fly to the sky, but just walked quietly in the wilderness jungle, leaving the plain and entering the deep mountains.

The Youdi River Valley is east of the Duke Plain. It is not as majestic and desolate as the Assyrian Plateau in the north, nor is it a fertile plain like the southern part of the plain. The mountains are steep and covered with valleys, and the vegetation in the valley is lush. From a distance, there are peaks that are difficult for ordinary people to pass through and are also the most suitable place to hide their tracks. Gelie set the date here to keep it secret.

Faust and Semir arrived at the designated location just after the skylight was bright. It was obvious at first glance that Gelie had made arrangements in advance so that both sides could feel at ease. There was an independent hill, surrounded by peaks, and the view was very wide on the top of the mountain. This place was hidden and could detect movements in the distance at any time.

There was a table and two chairs on the top of the mountain, and Gelie was already sitting there waiting. The sun had not yet risen to the top of the distant peak, and morning mist was floating in the valley, and dewdrops were hanging on the wet grass leaves. The sound of birds singing in the distance could only be heard quietly. There was a man standing there casually without a weapon, holding his arms, but in this morning mist, there was an indescribable momentum, which was Gilgamesh, a hero who shocked the continent a few years ago.

Semir stopped halfway up the mountain, without saying hello, stood far away and confronted Gilgamesh, watching Faust walk to the top of the mountain.

Gore knew that Faust was coming, but he did not turn around and stand up to greet him. He just filled the cup opposite the seat with wine, and then sang softly—

"Your swaying figure is getting closer

The blur of the past appears before your eyes again

Is your heart still dreaming of the past

Dreams rise from the morning mist,

The breath of youth in my heart is rippling and uneasy

Looking back at the past

Is the beautiful legend hidden away?"

Faust sat quietly opposite Gore and sang—

"Who is whispering and whispering

The ethereal sounds in the morning mist

Let the wine glass touch the lips and listen to the sound of dawn

Is it announcing another beginning

Who else can I sing with?

Under whose gaze is this distant mountainous country

Who is singing the song of comforting to form a new alliance?"

The two of them chanted at the same time to Gilgamesh and Semir. They did not mean to conceal the content of the conversation. Faust wanted to take this opportunity to let Semir hear what he and Gore said. As for Semir's reaction, it depends on what the queen himself thought.

Gore picked up the cup and asked Faust with a smile, "How long has it been since we met?"

Faust raised his glass and greeted: "It has been ten years since the last meeting. I wish you good health!"

Gelie: "Thank you for your greetings, you are so young and promising! The achievement of breaking through the ninth level is still before me. I should congratulate you, Master Sage National Master!"

Faust lowered his head and said, "Shame! How dare you claim to be capable in front of you?"

Gelie asked again: "I am very happy that you can come, at least it means that you are willing to trust me. Although you are an enemy on the battlefield, there is no gap between us in private. Do you know what I want to talk about when I ask you to come?"

Faust replied: "Do you want to talk about the latest situation in the Assyrian Empire and the Tianshu Continent?"

Gelie shook his head: "No, the most important thing is not these. I just want to talk about your path and your choices. I knew you a long time ago. How eager you are to solve all problems and change the fate of the kingdom and the world around you. With your years of planning, the Assyrian Empire has now risen strongly. Should I congratulate you on getting what you want?"

Faust started drinking without answering. He drank very slowly, his lips pressed against the edge of the glass, drank the full glass of wine before putting down the glass and said, "Why do you laugh at me? Just say it directly if you have something to do."

Gerey raised his eyes and looked directly into Faust's eyes and asked, "Then just answer me directly, are all this what you want to see now? Is it the world you ideally think?"

Faust inadvertently looked at Semir's ethereal figure at the foot of the mountain and replied in a low and clear voice: "No, today's Assyrian Empire is not what I want to see."

Gere asked slowly: "Then can you tell me? What kind of Assyrian empire do you want to see? There is no need to assume what has happened. Let's talk about it from now on, just look at whether reality can be done. If you want, say what you think in your heart."

...

Amon was not at the meeting between Gore and Faust. He was far away from a mountain surrounded by rain and clouds more than ten miles away and watched the movements here. The vast valley was under his surveillance. On the table between Gore and Faust was a lamp of passing, with Amon's temporary avatar sensing, just like Amon's statue. He could hear the conversation between the two and even clearly noticed the subtle emotional changes in his tone.

Gerey put the lamp of the passing light on the table without any concealment. Of course, Faust knew this magic weapon and knew that it could be used as a control center for detecting the magic array. Of course, the two had to pay attention to the movements around them when they were talking, but Faust did not expect that Amon could listen to a distance in such a way, just like sitting next to him. This is a means that only gods possess.

Amon was monitoring the movements of the valley among the mountains, but suddenly felt his back tight, as if he was being monitored by someone. He was already a god, and his body and mind were incredible, and he could perceive the subtle changes in everything in the world. How could he suddenly feel this way?

He could "see" clearly without looking back. There was indeed a person who came and took a step out of the void and appeared not far behind him. From then on, the person did not sense the nervous hostility, but the powerful aura permeated the top of the mountain, making Amon feel that it was difficult for him to turn around.

Amon slowly turned around to face the person quietly and asked in a deep voice: "Malduk?"

The one step out of the void was another god. He once, like Amon, explored and understood the power of the original without the guidance of the divine system and reached the state of transcendence of eternal life. Now he is a more powerful existence than Amon, and is also one of the two major gods of the Anunaqi divine system, Marduk, believed in the Kingdom of Barron.

Marduk has recently retreated under Enrier's offensive, and the Kingdom of Barron is also in a storm. Judging from the current situation, in the near future, Enrier will reunify the entire Anuna Qi Divine Realm, and Marduk's failure is irreversible. But at this moment, he does not have the slightest down-and-out attitude of a loser, and even looks radiant.

Malduk looks very young, with a very strong figure. He wears armor with exquisite patterns, revealing his arms and calves, and his muscle lines are so masculine and powerful. Amon is already very tall, but Malduk's figure is half a head taller than Amon, with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, thick lips, and clear edges, like a handsome warrior.

Seeing Amon turn around and speak, Malduk showed a majestic smile: "Yes, I am Malduk. Congratulations, my friend! You and I should have more common language among the gods, because we have all had the same experience. I still remember that you called my name in public to challenge the Uruk army in the Red Cape defense line. I admire your courage."

Amon smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I once said on the battlefield, "Please come to Marduk!" Then he took back that sentence. People have their youth and frivolity, and arrogance often comes from ignorance. At least I will not challenge you now."

Marduk smiled and shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I was just kidding just now. You must be surprised if I suddenly appeared here?"

Amon replied frankly: "To be honest, it's not too surprising. I know you will appear sooner or later, but I don't know when and where you will be. What advice do you have when you come to me?"

Marduk looked at Amon with interest for a long time, and seemed to see no flaws. He smiled and said, "Amon, I am here to provide you with help. I heard that your situation after becoming a god is very bad!"

Amon grinned, "Thank you for your kindness, but you seem to have more trouble now than me."

Marduk let out a contemptuous snorting: "My trouble? Do you want to say Enriel?"

Amon shrugged: "Isn't it? The Kingdom of Barron has expressed surrender to the Assyrian Empire, and as the Lord God, you, will not be unclear about what has happened recently? Sinach attempted to completely control the Kingdom of Barron. If that is the case, you will lose the realm of the source of divine power and the status of the Lord God. I really didn't expect that you would still look so proud."

Marduk curled his lips: "So what can I do if this is the case? Do you want me to hide in the Kingdom of God like an angry little wife and cry sadly? Enriel can win in the world, but it can't hit me. If you tell you that I don't care about the status of the Lord God in the Kingdom of Barron, would you believe it?"

Amon shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if I don't believe it, it's just that you don't care. If you appear today, you won't just talk to me about this, right? If you want to lead me to join the Anuna Qi divine system, I have refused."

Marduk waved his hand very casually and said, "No, no, no, joining the Anuna Qi divine system is not a good choice for you. If I were you, I would not agree. Actually, I wanted to talk to you for a long time, but you were not qualified to talk to me about any cooperation. As for today, the situation has changed."

Amon narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are also waiting for me to become a god? In this case, why did you bring down the oracle to stop my tribe from returning to your hometown?"

Facing Amon's questioning, Malduk smiled indifferently: "The gods have their own ideas of gods, especially gods like me. No god wants the miners in Duke Town to return there unless they believe in themselves. I just made my promise, and in fact they went back. Unfortunately, God Amon, your tribe members do not believe in you. I don't even know what kind of dream they made up and believe in the imagination that does not exist..."

Amon interrupted him and said, "That was their own choice, it had nothing to do with you, and your oracle did not stop them from returning to their hometown. Today you are going to talk to me about cooperation, and who do you want to deal with?"

Malduk sat on the rock with a golden sword, waved his hand to the west and said, "Do you still need to ask? Of course it's Enriel! We have a common enemy, so we can sit down and have a good chat."

Amon sat down, frowned and asked, "Didn't you just say it doesn't matter? Why do you want me to help you deal with him again?"

Marduk's expression was very profound: "It's not that you help me, but that we help each other. In terms of strength, it's more that I'm helping you. I don't care what victory Enriel achieved, but this does not mean that I will forgive him, and Enriel will never let you go, just like Sinach will never let Salem. Instead of waiting for them to come, we might as well discuss now-how to deal with them?"

Malduke may be the number one optimist Amon has ever met. He seemed to have no concern about the situation in the world. He was still indifferent when Enriel launched an advantage in the battle for the Divine Realm. And he knew that Amon wanted to get rid of Sinach and support the new ruler in the Assyrian Empire, change his brutal national policy, and destroy this militaristic chariot. Malduke came to Amon but put forward another cooperative suggestion - get rid of Enriel!

His tone was so light, as if the name Enrile was just an ordinary code name, no different from Acao and Adog. It was not the other major god of Anuna Qi divine system who had forced him to retreat step by step.

His idea cannot be said to be unreasonable. Even if Enriel is having fun in the world, what kind of victory will Assyria and Hath achieve against the Kingdom of Baron? If the god himself dies, the desire to unify the Anuna-Kai divine system will be nothing more than a waste. In Amon's eyes, the same is true for the imperial hegemony in Sinach's heart.

But it is not easy to get rid of Enriel. The process of this god unifying Anuna's divine realm is not only a vanity in the world, but it can indeed give him more powerful power. What's more, Enriel is scheming and possesses the achievements of the Creator. As long as he does not make mistakes and seeks death, there is almost no possibility of death.

Just like although Malduk had been forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step by step by Enriel, Enriel also had no chance to kill the god himself, and the result was nothing more than making another agreement.

But Marduk told Amon that according to the oath of the gods in the same god system, if Amon takes the initiative to challenge Enriel, neither Marduk nor Muyun can help. But the situation is not necessarily the case. If Enriel takes the initiative to challenge Amon, others can intervene to help Amon.

With Enriel's intention, if he really decides to attack Amon, he will not give him a chance to ask for help. The battle between gods with the goal of destroying the other party is often very tragic. Enriel seems to have done this without intention at the moment. He only needs to win in the world to force Amon and Marduk to nowhere to stand and do nothing by himself.

But there is one situation that Enriel absolutely cannot tolerate, that is, Amon sent people to assassinate Sinach, which completely destroyed Enriel's plan to unify the Anuna divine realm. At that time, Enriel will feel that staying Amon is his biggest mistake. If Amon unfortunately left alone, he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, Enriel will definitely take action.

After hearing this, Amon smiled bitterly and said, "The great god Malduk, I understand what you mean! You want me to be bait and catch the big fish Enriel, but why should I take this risk to help you? As a way to solve problems between gods, what agreement should you and I have?"

Marduk's expression was full of confidence, as if he was not worried that Amon would refuse, and he said slowly: "Of course you will be willing to cooperate with me. The reason is very simple. You have a grudge against Enriel, so you will never compromise with him, and he will never let you go. Enriel just wants to find out your background first and wait for the best time to get rid of you.

So you should find an opportunity to show your strength without hiding or hiding anything, because you are not his opponent. In some cases, Enriel will definitely take action as soon as possible, because he will feel that continuing to keep you is an increasingly terrible disaster, and your threat has even surpassed me."

Amon asked, "Under what circumstances?"

Malduk reached out and pointed to the hills in the middle of the peaks: "That are Gerry and Faust? One is the chief honorary veteran of the Academy of Divine Arts, the highest-ranking priest of Hathi, the other is the chief high priest who cannot be replaced by anyone in the Assyrian Empire, and the wise master. The reason why the field of the source of divine power is meaningful is the belief of the people. I think Gerry probably has turned his back on his admiration for Enrile.

If Faust, under your persuasion, agrees to get rid of Emperor Sinach and destroy Enriel's plan, it also means he betrayed the Lord God believed in by the kingdom. He should have called on his people to believe in God, but he all betrayed the gods. Do you think such gods are winners or losers?

That would be an extremely dangerous signal. Even if Enriel nominally unified the divine realm, it would probably mean that he is losing the realm of the source of divine power. The source of all this is because of your appearance. If you are a mortal, it would be fine. You will die soon, but you are already a god who transcends eternal life, so you must be solved as soon as possible."

Amon nodded thoughtfully and said, "It makes sense. I saw the victory of Hathi and Assyrian on the battlefield, and you saw the failure of the god Enriel in Gore and Faust... I can help you get rid of Enriel, and what promise can you give me? Don't tell me that getting rid of Enriel itself is a help to me."
