Li Kuide thought for a while and said: "There are currently more than two hundred priests in the army, and they are basically mid-level magicians. Thirty groups of ninety people can be sent to the city wall, and each group must be protected by a warrior team."
Rod Dick smiled wryly and said, "How can there be so many high-level scrolls? Even if I emptied the inventory of the Cape Temple, you can send at most twenty-five groups of magicians. In this case, the attack and defense scrolls can still be used." Get them all together, but if each set of scrolls must have a space-locking effect, most of this set will be mid-level scrolls."
Amon nodded and said: "That's how it is, send twenty-five groups, a total of seventy-five magicians, to take the scrolls to the city wall, and if Enkidu leads the assault team to break through, use the scrolls to stop his first wave of attack , the surrounding defenders quickly gathered. Even if it is not used in this way, Gilgamesh launched a large army to attack the city, if all these scrolls are suddenly unfolded, it is enough to severely damage his siege troops."
Long Teng patted Rod Dick on the shoulder: "Your Majesty the City Lord is really far-sighted. Scrolls have never been distributed as equipment by the legions in the mainland, but you have hoarded such a batch, and they are of great use today."
Next, they discussed the deployment of the front line. Amon pointed to the sand table and said: "After all, Hongjiao Town is too small. If the army is crowded in the city, cavalry and chariots will not be able to play a role at all. Once the enemy breaks through the defense, the city will be destroyed." Trampling on each other will cause heavy losses, and a single stone can kill many people. Two legion commanders, how do you think we should deploy our defenses?"
The two legion commanders, Long Teng and Blaze, heard the commander's tone and then looked at the situation on the front line. They were very interested and took the initiative to ask for orders to go out of the city to deploy defenses. Amon divided the chariot and the heavy cavalry into two parts, and handed them over to the two army commanders to lead them respectively. They set up camps behind the defense lines on both sides of Hongjiao Town, echoing each other with Hongjiao Town.
Amon ordered to set up hard crossbows and cannon carriages on the city wall, and conduct a special defense drill. The arrangement was almost done, and then the two great magicians summoned the priests to form an array for himself, Gabriel, and Metanzor. Healing and blessing spells. That night, Amon was sitting in the hall, countless soft rays of light fell on his body, the pain inside and outside his body and the soreness in his bone marrow gradually subsided.
In deep meditation, Amon somehow saw Maria again, and the tears of the gods on her staff scattered golden light. Her blessing of Isis is the most tender comfort in Amon's heart.
…
On the same night, in the camp of the Uruk legion, in the tallest and wide animal skin tent, more than a dozen magicians also formed a magic formation. Gilgamesh sat opposite Enkidu, Holding a staff is performing blessing and healing spells. All kinds of light fell on Enkidu's body, and his burly figure seemed to be as dazzling as a god.
The golden glove had already been taken off, and the glove on the right hand had a big hole. Gilgamesh looked at it and sighed: "This glove is very difficult to repair. Fortunately, I made two pairs. You can get another one. There are not many damaged parts of the snake scale armor, and it can be repaired in about ten days, and you can continue to wear it on the battlefield."
Enkidu didn't close his eyes and meditate, holding a huge wine glass and said: "I didn't have this armor and gloves back then, I killed Humbaba as well, it's completely unnecessary!"
Gilgamesh shook his head lightly and said: "There are strong armor and sharp weapons, why not use them? I can clearly see the power of your three punches today. If you carry your usual giant shield and broad sword, although they are mighty, they are not so powerful." Flexible and fast."
Enkidu said bitterly: "I didn't win a big victory today because I didn't complete the plan I had arranged in advance, and I didn't kill the coach Aiju with the third punch. I didn't expect that Amon was so difficult to fight. It is his fate to escape in my hands, and he will not have such good luck next time!"
When Gilgamesh was thinking, he always had the habit of squinting his slender eyes: "You and I are not the only ones who are strong on the mainland. That Amon was just a wandering magician at the beginning, but he walked with the goddess. The origin is not simple. Now He turned out to be the commander in chief of Eju's battlefield, there must be something special about him, today's last move suddenly buried you under the rocky mountain, even I was shocked!"
Enkidu said angrily: "The first time I saw him, he was with the goddess; the second time I saw him, he actually hurt me!"
Gilgamesh smiled and persuaded: "There are many good women in the world, why do you like such a goddess? If you want to prove yourself, killing Humbaba is enough. Amon hurt you today, but you should think about it first." Kill him, and besides, you are not seriously injured, so you don’t need to be angry. Fighting between the two armies is not fighting spirit, so you must be careful when you meet this person again, and don’t give him a chance to use tricks.”
Enkidu asked with some doubts: "Isn't he a great warrior? Why was he once a magician again? What is his trick today?"
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes again: "It's a very simple method, which is to fill a space magic weapon with stones and suddenly pile it up. This man is indeed a great warrior. Wake up, you have already reached the peak of your divine arts achievements, and you can actually use a space magic weapon."
Enkidu frowned: "I haven't heard of it."
Gilgamesh said indifferently: "Have you heard of a magician like me before? Since ancient times, there have been so many geniuses on the mainland, and it is not surprising that they have perseverance, adventure, and luck at the same time. Some secrets The gods know that mortals can also explore, and he may just be a lucky person who has unique achievements."
Enkidu said in a deep voice: "I understand your temper. If you change the situation, you would like to make friends with this kind of person. But now, I have to kill him!"
Gilgamesh reached out and patted Enkidu's shoulder: "We all want to kill him, but in the next battle, you must first avoid Amon's position, focus on the weak points of the city wall, and release another thing."
Enkidu took a sip of wine, put down his glass and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gilgamesh replied: "Scrolls! Nero used to be the most outstanding scroll maker on the mainland. He has been the chief priest in the cape city-state for more than 40 years. I heard that the father and son, the two Dick city lords, deliberately kept the scrolls made by Nero. There are probably quite a few offensive and defensive scrolls. If we throw them all out, it will cause us heavy losses. I guess Amon will also use them for self-defense, so you have to be careful not to suffer this loss."
Enkidu snorted coldly: "The scrolls are nothing more than various magic spells. How have I ever been afraid? What's more, even if there are scrolls, there must be a chance to use them!"
Gilgamesh: "If you fight alone, I believe that no magician will have the opportunity to unfold the scroll in front of you, but this is a melee of the army, and it is unclear who will suddenly use it, so be careful."
Enkidu: "Even if there are a batch of high-level scrolls, will I stand there stupidly and let them attack? Besides, the city wall is so long, how many magicians can they send to battle with scrolls? Even if they do this, each section of the city wall has A few magical masters took a few scrolls and wanted to kill me? My lord, don’t you still trust me?”
Gilgamesh smiled and said: "My brother, I trust you as I trust myself! I tell you this, I just hope you know what's in your mind. This is why I asked you to avoid Amon when attacking the city."
…
One of Enkidu's gauntlets was cracked, and the snake scale armor was also slightly damaged. But the scorpion shell armor worn by Amon has been torn apart after the fierce battle, and it is almost impossible to repair. Repairing such a piece of armor is not as simple as replacing the damaged scorpion shell, but also refining it again with divine magic.
Fortunately, the scorpion shell armor worn by Mei Danzuo was not seriously damaged. Amon removed his armor, replaced the complete scorpion shell with another armor, and repaired it in a few days. It can also be worn on the battlefield. This is the best armor in his hands. It can not only resist stabbing with knives and spears, but also has excellent magical defense effect. Facing a terrifying opponent like Enkidu, it is more important to save his life, so all preparations must be made.
Amon naturally wanted to procrastinate and wait for the Geb Army to arrive. If Gilgamesh did not launch an attack, he would not move. He has been patrolling the defense line for the past few days. On this day, he climbed up the city wall with the great magician Li Kuide again, focusing on checking the defensive positions of the magician group holding the scrolls, chatting while walking.
Li Kuide mentioned the legend of Enkidu, the number one warrior in the mainland, which aroused Amon's strong interest. This great magician obviously knew a lot of inside information, and some things Amon had never heard of before.
Enkidu is not the commander of the Uruk legion, nor is it the commander of the front line, nor is it the general of any army. His position is the same as that of Medanzo, just the captain of Gilgamesh's personal guard. But his status is no less than that of any warrior on the mainland.
As a magician, Gilgamesh was able to shoot an earth-shattering arrow on the battlefield that day, not only because of his superb magic skills, but also because of his natural power. Enkidu was a wandering mountain hunter when he was a child. Some people also said that he was a giant on the plateau, and he was also born with supernatural power. He hunts down wild beasts with his bare hands in the mountains and fields in the outskirts. He has a bad temper and has never lost a fight with anyone.
When Gilgamesh was young, he was fond of hunting, and he met Enkidu in the mountains when they were both teenagers. It is said that Enkidu was defeated only once in his life, and that was when he was beaten to the ground by Gilgamesh when he was a child. There is also a legend that the two children wrestled for a long time regardless of the outcome, and they admired each other very much.
Gilgamesh, the son of the lord of the city, brought the wandering Enkidu back to the city-state of Uruk, and sent a maid to take care of Enkidu, teach him how to eat and dress like a nobleman, learn various etiquettes, and ask a teacher to teach him to read and write. But Enqi is a born warrior, not interested in reading at all, but loves to learn martial arts.
Some people say that he became a great warrior at the age of sixteen, and others are even more exaggerated. It is rumored that Enkidu defeated a great warrior in the city-state of Uruk at the age of fourteen. In short, he became a great warrior at an absolute age. Smaller than Amon! However, the age at which he became a ninth-level warrior is very clear. Enkidu is 21 years old and this year is 34 years old, while Gilgamesh is two years younger than him. In what year did he become a ninth-level great magician? No one knows that they are rare talents in Tianshu Continent.
After saying this, Li Kuide looked at Amon and said: "After watching the battle scenes a few days ago, I have a feeling that Enkidu seems to want to target you, Commander-in-Chief, so be careful on the battlefield. I have another I am confused, if it is convenient, can the Commander-in-Chief tell me in private?"
Amon hurriedly said: "Thank you for your reminder! Honorable High Priest of the Empire, just ask if you have any questions."
Li Kuide smiled: "You used a magical space magic weapon, filled with boulders and suddenly fell, almost killing Enkidu. I was dumbfounded by this move, how did you do it?"
Amon also smiled: "Although space artifacts are precious, it's not uncommon for me to have one or two. The scrolls left by Nero are weird, and some of them are probably just to prove my own ideas, not for Practical use. There is a kind of scroll that can allow people to manipulate the operation of the magic space, and I really admire the whimsy of this master."
Li Kuide snorted and said: "I almost forgot, you also have Nero's relics in your hand. Many scrolls made by this master are indeed interesting. You are a great warrior, and you have successfully awakened your power again. If If you are willing to work hard to cultivate your mana to the extreme, it is not impossible to use the space magic weapon. It’s just that if you do that, it may delay the cultivation of physical skills, human energy is limited after all.”
Amon smiled modestly: "I will definitely remember your words."
…
After a great battle, Amon stood still and let Gilgamesh calmly prepare for the siege. The pharaoh in the rear received the battle report and news of the death of the great magician Julian, and sent envoys to Hongjiao Town to reward the army and encourage the soldiers to fight bravely. At the same time, the messenger also conveyed the pharaoh's oral order, asking when Amon and the generals would attack to repel the Uruk army
Although the purpose of sending envoys was to encourage and reward the army, asking such a question also implied that Pharaoh was slightly dissatisfied with the frontline warfare. The envoy also mentioned that when Pharaoh was discussing with his ministers, he expressed his desire to supervise the battle on the front line, and watched with his own eyes how the Eju army repelled the so-called strongest army on the mainland.
If Pharaoh went to the front line in person, it would naturally boost morale, but Amon would rather he not come. When Pharaoh was here, not only did he have to allocate energy to deal with and protect him, but it would also be troublesome if Pharaoh intervened when commanding and mobilizing the army. Amon gave the envoy the image information of Enqi's charge recorded by the priest on the battlefield, and asked the envoy to show Pharaoh himself.
I don’t know how the pharaoh felt after seeing the video recorded by the magic spell. In short, he didn’t mention the matter of going to the front to supervise the battle in person, and sent envoys to reward the three great warriors, Amon, Gabriel, and Medanzuo, and told them Hold the line and don't act rashly until the Gables arrive.
…
Ten days after the first battle of the Uruk army's siege, the Geb army was still three days away from Red Cape Town. Gilgamesh did not give Amon time to wait.
Early in the morning, scouts reported that the camp of the Uruk Legion had moved. Not long after the sun rose, the black army had arrived outside Red Cape Town. In a siege battle, although the defending side has a defensive advantage, the attacking side also has an advantage to use. The city wall is dead but the people are alive, so you can flexibly deploy the battle formation and choose weak points to attack.
The Uruk army untied the horses from the chariot, loaded them with bags of sand and stones, and lined up at the front of the battle formation. Not only could they withstand the arrows, but also the sword and shield soldiers pushed the chariot close to the city wall, trying to fill in the gaps. A ramp to charge. And behind the chariots filled with sand and gravel, there is another row of modified chariots, on which wooden stakes are used to erect archery towers, and standing on the archery towers can shoot at the Egyptian soldiers on the city wall.
In addition, Uruk's army also built a high platform with felled giant logs, the top of which was twice as high as the city wall. Gilgamesh did not fly in the air with divine magic, but still inserted a large purple umbrella in the center of the high platform, and sat on a chair by himself, with Enkidu standing beside him.
Amon saw Enkidu from afar on the tower, and secretly marveled in his heart. It was impossible for this great warrior to be unscathed in the fierce battle ten days ago, but today he was full of energy on the battlefield, exuding radiance all over his body. His aura is completely at its peak, even more terrifying than ten days ago.
Amon had just recovered a few days ago under the alternate treatment and blessings of the magic circle presided over by two great magicians of the ninth level, and Gabriel and Medanzuo couldn't go to the battlefield today! Those two great warriors were either injured or sick, or they were extremely exhausted, and they were still unable to fight with strength. Amon was able to recover so quickly, his body was already made of iron, and Enkidu looked stronger than his body.
When Amon saw Gilgamesh's battle formation approaching, he stood on the tower and said loudly: "Soldiers of the Uruk army, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to die in a foreign country? Come back to your relatives in your hometown and continue to live and work in peace. life!"
Gilgamesh smiled and said on the high platform: "Amon, aren't you a general but a speaker? When soldiers approach the city, do you want to win with words? If I don't retreat, are you going to surrender?"
After speaking, he stood up from the chair, stretched his bow and shot an arrow straight at Amon. This time it was not a cold arrow, everyone in front of the two armies could see clearly, and there was another roaring sound like thousands of bison roaring in the wilderness. Amon did not shoot back with an arrow, a huge light curtain suddenly appeared on the city tower, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up in front of the light curtain, and the air in the smoke and dust condensed into an invisible armor.
The smoke and dust from Gilgamesh's arrow exploded and the light curtain trembled wildly, but it didn't hit Amon. This time it was a battle to defend the city. In addition to the seventy-five magicians sent to the city wall, there were hundreds of magicians behind the tower. Already ready to go. Although Gilgamesh's arrow was mighty, it was impossible to directly injure Amon at such a long distance. The magic defense of the front tower was the most solid.
