The world outside the body seems to have a soul, and the world is breathing and breathing, with a vivid breath. How to use one's own body and mind to communicate with it is the source of power bestowed by the gods, and it is also the origin of all kinds of magical methods of magicians. Amon forgot that he was already a great magician, just like welcoming a new life at dawn, to re-experience the source of awakening power.
Amon seems to have seen the energy of the rhythm of life between the heaven and the earth. In this ceremony, he must grasp a ray of inspiration and integrate it with his body and mind. In the future, he will be able to find this state alone in meditation, which is the second of power. wakeup.
To hold such a ceremony for a warrior can only be done by a great magician. Maria's ceremony for Amon was almost twice as long as usual, and she devoted her mind and mana without hesitation. From the perspective of outsiders, this is also the first time that the Holy Maiden has held a second power awakening ceremony. If you have no experience, of course you should be familiar with the process.
Generally, warriors will not awaken the power bestowed by the gods immediately after the ceremony. They have to start practicing from the most basic divine art meditation, and only by themselves can they recover the state they were guided into during the ceremony.
This kind of ceremony is usually only performed once, and it is also quite expensive for a great magician. If it doesn't succeed once, theoretically, it can be done again, but the chance of success is already very small. No great magician will repeatedly toss for a samurai.
Even if the effect of holding the ceremony again is already very small, Maria doesn't seem to mind giving Amon a few more chances. A few days after the ceremony, she specially sent someone to ask Amon if he could feel the awakened power from the meditation state? Amon replied: "Thank you, Lady Saint, for your concern, I have succeeded!"
After Maria heard the news, she immediately issued an order to ask High Priest George to send a teacher to teach Amon to learn Egyptian divinity.
Amon had no choice but to put on a show and learned the divine language of Eju again. The teacher praised the great warrior Amon for his incomparable intelligence and mastered the divine language in the shortest time. People are not surprised by this. He became a great warrior at a young age. How could Amon not be a talented and intelligent person? Moreover, if one has mastered the writing of secular characters, it is actually not too difficult to learn divine characters, as long as one understands the special and complicated rules.
The temple also specially sent two fifth-level magicians to guide Amon in practicing low-level magic. As a great magician, Amon seemed very humble, he listened carefully to his advice, he didn't put on airs but he rarely asked questions. In short, he learned very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to get in touch with the content of intermediate divine arts.
It was already difficult for the two fifth-level magicians to continue teaching Amon, so they went back and reported to their superiors, requesting another magic teacher for the great warrior Amon. As a result, George, the old friend of the old lunatic Nietzsche and now the high priest of the Temple of Isis, said, "Let me personally guide the great warrior Amun."
George took over this matter, but he didn't teach Amon any divine arts. He just gave him the authority to read all the divine arts books in the archives by himself, and ask if there is anything he couldn't understand. The high priest is usually very busy, so it is impossible to teach Amon the divine arts. The archives are under the jurisdiction of George, and Amon is very familiar with that place, so there is no need to spend extra effort to point it out.
With this convenient condition, Amon could finally find a chance to consult another volume of classics that Schrödinger asked him to read, but before he could do it, he was entangled in another matter.
It happened so suddenly that the Holy Maiden personally ordered the idle and glorious warrior Amon to live alone in a large courtyard with a quiet room for meditation. He should not go out for a few days to bathe and pray. If he wants to read some classics, he can write down the catalogue. Let the servants bring it. Ask him to wait quietly for the envoy from the royal capital of Eju, something important will happen.
The Holy Maiden sent someone to send some military books to Amon, which Amon had read before, but Maria asked him to review them again. At the same time, various military performance props were also sent, including topographic maps around the Eju Empire, sand table models of various marches and camps, and even drawings and models of supply and transport ships during the voyage, so that Amon could compare them with the classics. familiar with.
Maria's move is clearly a hint that the king will send someone to examine Amon. If Great Warrior Amon can pass this assessment, he will soon usher in a very important appointment. In all likelihood, he will serve as a general in the army. If this is really the case, it also means that the war around Duke Town is about to kick off.
But the actual situation was even more astonishing than Amon's guess. Maria recommended Amon, not as an ordinary general, but as the head of a newly formed legion!
The Ecu Empire already has three legions ready to go. The names of the legions are customarily named after gods, including the most elite Horus Legion and the Isis Legion in the empire. As an outpost, the Seth Legion has long been assembled in the cape city-state on the border. complete.
The head of the Seth Legion is Rod Dick, the lord of the cape city-state, and the chief priest of the legion is Julian, the eighth-level magician. It is said that at least one great samurai should be the head of an imperial army, but Rod Dick has an honorable status as the lord of the Cape, and he is more suitable to manage this army.
The Seth Legion is mainly responsible for the logistics management of the army, base supplies, and the transportation of food and grass. The required combat materials have been hoarded to the front line of the cape through various channels some time ago. Pharaoh sent a great warrior Peter from the royal capital. - Mochen is the front commander.
The real elite of the empire are the Horus Legion from the capital and the Isis Legion from Memphis City. The head of the Isis legion is the chief warrior Long Teng of the Isis Temple, the chief priest is the ninth-level magician Wald, and the front commander is the great warrior Longying.
The chief priest of the Horus Legion is Li Quide, the high priest of the main temple of Horus in Ecuador and a ninth-level magician. The Pharaoh himself! Lacis II, who is so overjoyed, wants to conquer in person this time.
A reorganized legion has 5,000 warriors and 50 priests. This is a combat force that is officially put into the battlefield. The supplies consumed every day are piled up like a mountain. If you add servants and civilian husbands, you can provide various logistics services around a legion. There are at least 20,000 people.
Of course, these three legions are not all the military power of the Ecu Empire, but it is impossible to launch an expedition abroad to wipe out the power of the whole country. This time they are already the strongest elite of the empire. The pharaoh's royal conquest, the king's capital city of Disis will leave a legion to guard the northwest border of the empire, and the saint will also sit in the city of Memphis, and there is another legion left here.
If you want to directly capture the Kingdom of Hatti, the most convenient route is to start from Memphis City, go out to sea and land along the Ronnie River. However, the pharaoh's purpose this time was to establish a strategic base in the original town of Ke, so he chose to start from the cape city-state and attack by land across the desert. According to the plan formulated by the Military Affairs Committee, in addition to the above three main armies, another army is needed to advance together, which is the newly formed miscellaneous army called "An-La Army".
"An" and "La" are both the names of the same god. The head of the nine gods believed by the Eju people is said to be the father of the gods born in the lotus in the beginning of time, and the oldest sun god. He has many titles, such as "An" at night, "La" during the day, "Hepri" in the morning, and "Atum" at night. He is also called "Nun" in the Jiulian gods.
According to human understanding, although this god has the oldest "seniority" and is known as the father of the gods, he is not the most important main god believed by the Ecu Empire. In ancient myths and legends, the goddess Isis defeated An-Ra by tricks, obtained the secret of the god and gained more powerful power. Horus, the son of the goddess Isis, later became the king god believed by the Eju people and the most important god among the nine gods. Legend has it that the ancient god An-Ra has retreated at the source of the Ronnie River.
Interestingly, in the long list of titles of Amon, the title "Allah" is also included, which can be understood as the meaning of "night and day".
The An-La Legion did not join the main army. It had to follow along the northern coastline while the pharaoh's army was advancing. On the one hand, it serves as an echo of the flanks, and on the other hand, the more important task is to prevent the army of the Hatti Kingdom from landing and attacking from the sea, cutting off the supply line of the main force.
The strategic position of such an army is very embarrassing. If the pharaoh wins a big victory, it will not make the most important military exploits; if the pharaoh is defeated and retreats, the An-Ra army needs to leave the coastline to outflank the advance and desperately resist the pursuit to cover the pharaoh; If the Kingdom of Hatti really made a large-scale sneak attack from the coastline, the legion would be cannon fodder before the main counterattack.
But most likely, this legion has been serving as a cover and security mission along the coastline, and a march of thousands of miles will not participate in the real main decisive battle. As long as this task is completed, the head of the legion can be regarded as a meritorious service to the empire. The prominent adults are naturally unwilling to take on this drudgery, so the saint saw the opportunity and recommended Amon.
But after all, this involved the appointment of a legion commander. The empire had to be cautious about handing over 5,000 soldiers to Amon, so it organized a special person to conduct the assessment. Amon lived alone in the courtyard for more than ten days, and was finally invited to the official office of Memphis City, where he met several prominent imperial ministers.
There are seven people sitting in a semicircle in a hall, with the Virgin Mary in the middle. On Mary's left is Eisen, the Minister of Military Affairs from the capital city of Dis, beside Eisen is the high priest Susijia from the main temple of Horus in the capital, and on Susijia's left is the city lord of Memphis Da Ya-Tu Yang. To Mary's right are the three high priests of the Temple of Isis, Wald, Burke, and George.
These adults formed a temporary appraisal committee, and they decided whether to appoint Amon as the head of the An-La Legion.
