When Prince Snake got the news, he immediately sent an army to arrest Moses and other miners in Duke Town. The order was very strict—if they could not be caught alive, they could be killed! In order to ensure that the order can be thoroughly implemented, Prince Snake not only sent the garrison of the cape city-state, but also sent an elite guard brought by himself.
Prince Snake came with a guard, not only warriors but also more than a dozen magicians, a total of 300 people, far exceeding the normal number of personal guards for a prince. Rod Dick wasn't stupid either. Seeing that Prince Snake brought so many people, he understood something in his heart, but he couldn't stop it from happening.
Snake sent 100 of the 300 guards he brought, led by the captain of the personal guard, and asked Roddick to mobilize 200 city-state garrisons, as well as a group of priests in the temple. So they set out to arrest Moses by the shore of the Chihai Sea. And he himself led 200 guards, accompanied by Rod Dick, to chase Amon eastward.
When Snake arrived at the important defense town at the southern end of the Red Sea, Amon had already left here and headed towards the border of the cape. Snake also mobilized 800 cavalry and chariot soldiers stationed here, and the original guards added up to 1,000 people, and rushed to chase Amon at full speed.
As soon as the two teams set off, Medanzo and Link soon realized that Moses and the others had been exposed, because a cavalry force went straight to the shore of the Red Sea along the nearest road, aiming at the valley where Moses and the others were hiding. Link asked Medanzo: "What should we do? Let them escape or cross the sea by force?"
Mei Danzuo shook his head and said: "I can't escape, the whereabouts have been exposed, how can Moses and the others outrun the cavalry? If we forcefully cross the sea, the wind and waves have not calmed down, and the two of us cast spells to block the wind and waves, Seth's envoys will also intervene to stir up trouble, Moses They are likely to die in the sea. Since we have reached a desperate situation, we might as well take up arms and fight!"
Link: "The opponent has 300 regular legionnaires, Moses and the others are no match."
Medanzuo: "The miners in Duke Town are not weak in fighting power. Of course it is impossible to escape all of them, but it is still possible to snatch horses and escape a dozen people during the battle. Up to now, how many people can be saved count as how many people , is better than annihilation of the entire army."
The two of them discussed for a long time, and there was really no better way, so they had to inform Moses to let the people prepare for the battle.
…
Moses and his tribe were eating in the valley, beside them were three built wooden boats upside down in the open space, there was no wind around them, but the Chihai sea in the distance was always full of wolves, so they could only continue to wait. He suddenly heard the voice of the angel: "Moses, a cavalry force of 300 men is coming here. You must inform the people to prepare for the battle, muster up the courage to fight with all your strength, and snatch their horses and flee north. I will show you the route of escape."
Moses was taken aback, and asked secretly: "Messenger of the gods, are we finally going to fight Ecu's army?"
Link asked, "Why, are you scared?"
Moses shook his head and said: "No, I am eager for this battle, even if I sacrifice my own life! The process of finding a home is the pursuit of life. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will work hard for it. My staff is not just for traveling."
Link said with relief: "Very well, the gods did not misunderstand you! Don't panic, let the clansmen have a good meal, and the pursuers will not arrive until the afternoon. Since the battle is inevitable, let's wait for work."
Link asked Moses to prepare for the battle, but he and Medan Zuo also knew very well that the clansmen in Duke Town would not be preserved in this battle, and it would be considered lucky to escape a small part of them. He privately said to Metatron: "I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task entrusted by God Amon."
Medanzuo sighed and slowly pulled out the key of fate: "That's what they need to face, the frog god Hequet of Ecu, the snake god Edjo, and the crocodile god Sobek have been watching us in the dark. What about the two. If they are allowed to intervene in the battlefield, none of the clansmen in Duke Town will be able to escape."
Link also sighed: "If they appear on the battlefield, we will also rush in to fight and use the shuttle to take away Moses and David separately. This is the worst plan."
…
After finishing their lunch, Moses and other clansmen stood up and shouted: "Clansmen, we have gone through untold hardships to reach the shore of the Chihai Sea, and we are about to break free from the prison. But our whereabouts have finally been revealed, and the messenger sent by the evil god Aiju Lead the army to hunt us down, a cavalry of 300 men is coming here. Please take up your arms and prepare to fight, use the battle to liberate our bodies and souls, the gods are with you and me!"
The clansmen panicked for a while, and someone shouted in horror: "Are we going to fight the Eju army? Didn't the gods say that they would guide us to leave? How could the army catch up?"
Joshua said to everyone: "The road guided by the gods is also our own inner desire, but the gods did not say that there are no thorns on this road. If we don't have the courage to fight, why should we pray for the protection of the gods? Thank the gods for giving us food , strength, confidence and hope, so that we can take up arms against the enemy. Although I am not as strong as the judges, I will fight without hesitation!"
The miners took up various weapons such as hammers, machetes, and hoes, and waited in the valley for the arrival of the Ecu cavalry. Some people are resolute in their hearts, others are uneasy, and some are praying in panic. The time seems to have become very long, and the sun shining in the valley has become hotter and hotter for no reason, and many people have sweated unknowingly.
Moses stood on a high place holding an iron branch staff and looked at both sides. His eyes were firm but also implied a trace of helplessness. Doomed to be impossible for dozens of miners to fight against 300 imperial elite cavalry, they could only Stealing horses in the chaos allowed some to escape. At this moment, an almost irresistible coercion suddenly filled the valley, and someone was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Everyone didn't know what happened, and they stared at the sky with wide and frightened eyes.
A majestic voice sounded in everyone's mind at the same time: "Slaves of Duk Town, listen up! I am the archangel Seth, a merciful god who has mercy on humble lives. You died against the order of Pharaoh, The gods have given enough punishment along the way, and now the army of the empire is chasing you, and you have nowhere to escape. I can let you go and give you freedom, but it must be done in my way!"
Seth! This is the real god speaking! That formidable power pervaded the world, and even Medanzo and Link, who were hiding in the distance, couldn't get close. Someone yelled into the sky, "God of the Ecu, what are you going to do to let us go home and make this end?"
Seth replied in a low voice: "It's very simple, as long as you make an oath and promise one thing, build a temple for me after you return to Duke Plains, and offer sacrifices to me sincerely, you can leave Eju safely. Return to your homeland. Kneel down, make a covenant with me, and swear to me, the pursuers will retreat, and the storm on the Red Sea will calm down."
Some clansmen have knelt down, and some are trembling under the powerful pressure. Standing as straight as possible with his staff in his hand, Moses replied loudly towards the sky: "I refuse! Why should the false gods who have enslaved and tortured us enjoy our sincere sacrifices? We have our gods, the only gods, and The light that illuminates the soul lives and lasts forever!"
Seth's sneer came: "Moses, do you know what you rejected? Your god, Mu Yun or Surabaya? Sooner or later you will find out who is the real powerful god. When one day you feel lonely and afraid, you will Set up an idol and pray to me, calling out my name Seth! I can punish you and let you go, Moses, do you think everyone here is as stubborn as you?"
With a sneer, the pervasive pressure disappeared, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like they couldn't even breathe. The clansmen looked at each other in blank dismay, recalling what Seth said just now. Someone whispered: "Actually, it's not a bad condition to agree to the god of Seth, as long as we return home safely. If we refuse him, it means that we will be massacred by the army."
With a sullen face, Moses raised his staff to the sky and said, "People, I heard your whispers! A person's life will always end. When facing death, ask yourself, what is the purpose of our walking this road? That evil false god is shaking our faith and trying to make us lose the will to fight. Don't let him succeed, grab your weapons and get ready to fight, neither yesterday's sweat nor today's blood will be shed in vain!"
Mei Danzuo and Link lurked in the distant mountain and said quietly: "What a terrifying power, it was Seth who showed up in person! This group of people in Duke Town is very important. Dozens of escaped slaves actually alarmed Eju Archangel."
Link praised, "Moses is really kind, he is worthy of being a disciple of God Amon!"
At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a voice: "Link, Medanzo, you fly into the air and stand guard on both sides of the coastline. Don't let Hequette and the others come to make trouble. I will guide Moses and the others to go." Cross the Red Sea."
The two were startled, and hurriedly turned around and looked around. At some point in the valley, a girl holding a scepter appeared, with long golden-brown hair and a pretty face, but her eyes shone with a sharp light like a beast.
Mei Danzuo was stunned, and exclaimed in a low voice, "May I ask who are you?"
The girl replied: "We have met many times. You have called me the messenger of the gods, and you have also called me an adult."
When Link saw the short staff in her hand, he suddenly reacted, and said in a voiceless voice: "You are the goddess Best, and there is your statue in the manor of God Amon! I know the appearance of this short staff."
Mei Danzuo's reaction was faster, and he immediately prostrated and said, "Master Schrödinger, you are not sent by the Jiulian Gods. You have always been the companion of God Amon, right?"
Best smiled: "You can call me whatever you want, just do as I tell you."
…
Moses is anxiously waiting for that cruel fate to come. He knows that he will not win, but he vows to fight to the end and try to cover as many people as possible from escaping. This is how the power Arhat gave him and this staff are used of.
At this moment, he heard a young girl's voice again: "People of Duke Town, I am Arhat's envoy, I have been watching you silently since the moment you came into this world. Under the guidance of the gods, you have reached the shore of Chihai Sea. After escaping from slavery, you have to overcome many hardships. This is the suffering of human generations. Only after experiencing it can you have the happiness you seek. Don’t be afraid or hesitate, go to the seaside, I will give you Separate a path."
The voice seemed to have a strange magic power, everyone heard it, and the panic and anxiety seemed to be wiped out invisibly. People looked around with wide eyes, but they didn't see the speaker. The girl's voice sounded in Moses' mind again: "Why are you standing still? Why are you still hesitating? Quickly lead the tribe to the sea, the pursuers will arrive soon, the iron hooves are beating the ground, and the valley is already trembling!"
Moses replied in his soul: "The messenger of the gods has made me ready to fight. If you are really the messenger of Arhat, you have been watching me from the moment I was born. Please prove it."
The girl's voice replied: "Your father once said to you-'The body is the garden where the soul resides, and the place where the body and mind live is the home of the body and mind. If the body and mind lose their support, they don't know where the soul is or what they are pursuing. That's real homelessness.' You made the mistake of being locked up upstairs without dinner, remember?"
Moses was stunned, no doubts in his heart anymore, he walked down the high slope and raised his staff and said, "People, please follow me, our God will guide us across the Red Sea!"
Joshua asked, "Moses, our leader, how does the gods want us to cross the Red Sea? There are huge waves rolling there, and we have no time to carry the boat to the shore."
Moses strode out of the valley and said, "The gods let us walk there like this."
The crowd followed Moses to the beach. The wind was not strong, but the waves were as high as several people. Looking around, they looked like huge white flowers surging up on the sea. The girl's voice sounded quietly again: "Moses, point your staff to the other side."
Moses raised his staff and pointed to the other side of the Red Sea, and an incredible miracle happened! I saw the waves on the sea rolling to the left and right, and the sea water parted strangely, revealing the wet reefs and shells, and a road across the Red Sea appeared. This is a thrilling miracle, the waves are rolling on both sides, as if they are about to rush over at any time and smash everything into pieces.
Witnessing this miracle, Moses walked over with great strides, his staff of iron branches pointed forward steadily. The judges yelled at the people on the bank who were still in a daze: "Hurry up, go as fast as you can!"
Mei Danzuo and Link floated in mid-air along this road from left to right, stunned and exclaimed: "Is this the power of Goddess Best?"
Link said: "We will follow Moses and fly over to help the goddess and prevent those three guys from causing trouble."
An angry voice came from the sky: "Best, what are you doing! Are you going to betray the Jiulian gods?"
Best replied lightly: "Seth, please call me Master Schrödinger, I'm just parting the Red Sea."
Seth's voice was a little annoyed: "As a member of the Nine-United God System, you can open the boundaries of God's Domain. But you should know what this means! I don't know when you recovered such a powerful power, but you Is self-confidence my opponent?"
Best sneered: "Archangel Seth, you become the main god of the Nine-United God System in the name of Allah. Of course, I am not your opponent. But I don't have to worry about being defeated by you. This is my last strength, and it is my last strength." You can't stop the farewell ceremony."
As the channel in the sea stretched forward, Best's figure on the clouds became lighter and weaker, as if becoming transparent and slowly disappearing. Seth shouted in astonishment: "Is this the way you unlock the imprisonment of the soul? You actually went to help that man named Amon like this, I won't let you succeed!"
Best's figure gradually disappeared, and the last voice floated in the air: "Really? Why don't you try? He didn't challenge you. Even if you want to violate the agreement of the gods and attack a mortal, don't forget In whose hands is the storm of destruction."
…
Amon walked on the official road, his steps were firm, neither fast nor slow, with the majesty of an imperial general, even if he was alone, he seemed to be commanding thousands of troops. He has already left the scope of the God's Domain of the Jiulian God System, but he is still in the territory of the cape city-state of the Eju Empire, and he has not left in a hurry. Because he just left here to participate in a duel, and it was clear that Moses and the others were still in the territory of Eju. If something happened, he himself could attract more attention.
This afternoon, Amon who was walking suddenly stopped and turned around. A powerful wave of mana came from far to the northwest, and even Amon was deeply shocked. Could it be that the gods took action, and was it the trouble Moses and the others encountered? Amon had the experience of Schrödinger's soul imprint. The gods would not directly do something, and there are some special agreements among the gods. So who is doing what at this moment
Amon wanted to rush over to have a look, but stood there without moving, because he still had his own troubles. A thunderous sound came from the west, and the earth trembled slightly. Amon was very familiar with this sound. It was cavalry and chariots galloping in formation, rushing towards his position. He didn't take out his weapon, but stood with his hands behind his back and waited quietly.
A moment later, an army formation with distinctive armor appeared on the horizon, and the chariots and cavalry still maintained a neat formation while advancing at high speed. About a hundred steps away from Amon, there was a short sound of horn blowing, and the horses and chariots slowed down and stopped steadily at the same time, obviously they were well-trained troops. Of course, these people were all elites. Except for the two hundred guards of Prince Snetter, the other eight hundred soldiers were all trained by Amon himself.
The army stopped, and Rod Dick shouted loudly: "General, please stay!"
Amon turned his back and asked, "I'm already standing here! Lord Dick, who are you going to fight with so many troops?"
Rod Dick bit the bullet and shouted: "We are here to ask the general to go back. Prince Snake sent someone to invite you to discuss important matters, but you refused to go to see him, so His Royal Highness came here in person. Such a grand occasion It is the supreme honor of the empire to invite the general back!"
Amon smiled: "One person, is it necessary to set up an army formation? If the general is unwilling to go back, is he going to fight with me?"
