Chapter 229: Trials run through eternity

Views:

Celia is the chief priest of the Anu Legion of the Kingdom of Hatti. She should be in Messo City at this moment. How could she appear here? How could the seagull be with her

Seagull is the latest disciple guided by Amon so far, and it is said that he has the lowest qualifications among the envoys in the Garden of Eden. However, due to the origin of the old madman, his status is unmatched by other disciples. Also under the guidance of Nietzsche, Seagull was even decades earlier than Amon. When Amon met him, Seagull already had an eighth-level achievement.

What Seagull cultivates is not the power of one body and two sides. He is actually an eighth-level magician or an eighth-level spirit bird. He is very different from ordinary people. His cultivation is extremely difficult, but at the same time he also has many special talents. After accepting the guidance of Amon, the seagull followed Gabriel to the Garden of Eden, and then came to Salem.

After learning about his relationship with Amon, all the disciples took good care of the seagull. Amon only had time to guide the cultivation and testing process of the original power, and then went to the Hades of Osiris. Many specific divine arts and martial arts cultivation have not yet been taught, but everyone is willing to teach the seagulls when they have time. Seagull has a very good temper and is very curious about everything in the world, just like a good and studious child.

The soul bird who just came to the city-state on earth from a deserted island needs to learn a lot, and Aesop didn't arrange any specific affairs for him to be responsible for, but Seagull is very enthusiastic and willing to help with everything, so he is very popular with everyone. He has accumulated decades of cultivation, and his thoughts are pure. After receiving the guidance of the original power and various teachings from everyone, he has made rapid progress, and he has achieved the achievement of an eighth-level god envoy in less than a year.

But he, the eighth-level envoy, is still relatively immature in all aspects, because he has not experienced anything, and he is naturally incomparable with a great achiever like Medan Zuo, who has been exploring with Amon since he began to practice the power of one body and two sides . But Seagull also has an advantage. He has never thought about anything else in the past few decades, that is, he has never stopped cultivating wholeheartedly. It is difficult for other monks to do this, so his mana is also very strong. It only depends on who he compares with. .

When he arrived in Salem, the Anu Army of the Hatti Kingdom entered the Duk Plain to fight against the Marduk City. The two armies were in a stalemate, and the Hatti army also built the city of Meso in the southern part of the Duk Plain. Salem City is the logistics transit supply base of the Hattite Expeditionary Force, so there are frequent personnel exchanges.

About a year ago, Princess Celia came to Salem, and of course Aesop wanted to receive her grandly. In the city lord's mansion, all the important figures in Salem attended the meeting, and Seagull was also present. It was the first time for Seagull to attend such an important "diplomatic" occasion. When he saw the princess of the kingdom, he was a little nervous, afraid of making a joke.

The more I was afraid, the more things would come, and I blame George for not explaining the origin of Princess Celia in advance, because everyone has known each other for a long time, and only made a special introduction in front of the seagull. George first introduced the seagull to the princess. It is naturally inconvenient to say that he is the angel in the Garden of Eden in public, but that he is the new disciple taught by God Amon in the world.

Then George said to Seagull, "This charming and beautiful princess is also a powerful eighth-level magician, and also a well-known master of summoning magic on the mainland."

This was a normal compliment, but seeing the seagull's expression change and his legs soften, he was so frightened that he plopped down on the ground! what happened? Seagull is not as timid as before, but a sentence has already been deeply imprinted in his mind, like an imprint in his soul.

The old lunatic once said when he left the island that the distant continent was dangerous, and a powerful summoner would imprint his soul and use it as a summoned beast. The seagull was so scared that he didn't dare to leave the isolated island in the sea for decades. This was the only nightmare in his pure heart. The powerful summoner on the mainland became a demon-like existence in his mind.

He was already nervous today, but when he heard such an introduction from George, the demon in his dream stood in front of him, as if under a spell, his subconscious legs went limp and he couldn't stand still, which scared Celia one jump.

Celia was also very curious and asked what happened to the seagull? The seagull confessed honestly, but the beautiful princess giggled when she heard it. The more she looked at the seagull, the more simple and lovely she felt. Although the explanation was clear, Seagull was still very nervous when he saw Celia. He listened to what Celia said, as if he was afraid of being caught and branded with his soul, as if it had become an instinct.

When George saw the seagull like this, he might be doing it deliberately as a joke, or maybe he wanted the seagull to exercise his courage, so he actually appointed the seagull as the full-time receptionist of Salem City to follow Celia to protect the princess's safety. Helping Celia in everything, and accompanying the princess on safari in the wilderness.

The more Celia looked at the seagull, the more interesting it became. As long as she spoke louder, the seagull would turn red and look nervous. This was not because she was afraid of her status as the princess of the kingdom, but purely a habitual reaction. Later, Celia called the summoning beast Yao Leo, and tried their skills with the seagull, but it turned out that Yao Leo was no match for the sea gull, and Amon, the shy disciple, turned out to be so skillful!

Celia wanted to go back to the city-state of Messo after finishing her work, and the city lord of Aesop sent seagulls to escort her. The main task was to escort the convoy of supplies. Celia asked Aesop, what position does Seagull hold in Salem City or Salem Legion? It turns out that Seagull is currently unemployed and still learning to practice, so the princess took the opportunity to make a request, wanting to borrow someone from Salem City.

This request hits Aesop's arms, and Aesop is thinking about sending the seagulls to Messo City. At that time, Hatti's army had already built a wharf in the inland lake, and the city-state of Messo was under construction. Aesop was eager to improve the relationship with the other city-states and grasp the dynamics there. It would be best to send someone who both sides could trust to go there. go.

This person must have a clean background and will not cause jealousy. At the same time, he must be absolutely loyal to Amon and gain the favor of the other party. It is really not easy to find, and Seagull is like an excellent candidate sent to him. The shrewd Aesop could also see that Celia seemed to like seagulls very much, and seagulls really should have more experience, so he agreed immediately.

When Seagull came to Meso, Raphael also guessed Aesop's intention, so he suggested that the princess appoint Seagull as her captain of the personal guard. The princess's former captain of the personal guard was an imperial general, and because of the needs of the war, he happened to be transferred to the front line, and Celia happily agreed. Indeed, there is no captain of the personal guard who is more dedicated than Seagull, and he will not be lazy or slippery at all.

Seagull was originally a seagull with enlightened intelligence, and later he named himself Seagull, but Celia told him that it should not be the name but the surname, indicating his origin. So Seagull named himself Michael, and his full name is Michael-Seagull.

Before the war between Salem City and Enlil City broke out, something happened to the business road in the Black Fire Swamp. This business road is also one of the logistics channels between Meso City and the Kingdom of Hatti, so Princess Celia also attaches great importance to it. , and she has always been very concerned about the situation in Salem City, so she sent Yolio to assist Yunmeng in guarding the Black Fire Swamp. Urio is a descendant of the Charming Mermaid, and can display magical powers even in swampy areas.

Immediately afterwards, the battle between Salem City and Enlil City was unfavorable, and the situation was precarious. The Lord Aesop sent someone to ask Princess Celia for help. His request for help was very particular. According to the normal official procedure, he either asked for help from King Hattie or the city-state of Messo, but Aesop directly asked for help from Princess Celia.

At that time, it was Ai Aimi, the head of the Anu Legion, who was in charge of the army in Meso City. When Celia found Ai Ai Mi and asked him to send troops to rescue Salem City, Ai Ai Mi refused with embarrassment. Some reasons make it difficult for Amy to do this. On the one hand, the order of the king is necessary to mobilize the army, and the head of the legion cannot make his own claims.

On the other hand, there was an agreement between Salem City and the Anu Legion that the regular combat troops of the Anu Legion were not allowed to enter the range of Salem City. This was originally a precautionary measure of mutual respect, but now it has become an excuse . In fact, the Hattite Kingdom's attitude towards Salem City is only to wait and see, providing logistical support but not direct military support. Even if King Asher knew about this, he would not launch a large army.

The seagull cried anxiously, and said to Princess Celia on the spot, please let him go back to save the city of Salem alone. Just at this time, a highly respected old man came to the city-state of Messo, and it was Ge Lie. Celia hurriedly asked Ge Lie what to do, and Ge Lie frowned and said: "The head of the Aimi army cannot move the army without authorization. This is also the kingdom's decree. But Her Royal Highness can 'visit' Salem City in a private capacity. This does not violate any agreement, and you have the right to protect yourself with bodyguards."

After saying these words, Ge Lie looked at Celia. Everyone knew what it meant to bring the personal guards to visit Salem City at this time. It just depends on whether the princess has the heart and the courage? As a result, Celia slapped the table and ordered the seagull to assemble the guards and set off immediately. The seagull was so moved that he almost cried again.

When Amy arrived after hearing the news, the princess had already left, and Amy was shocked. Celia is the chief priest of the Anu Legion, and she also has the responsibility of supervising the army. What's more, she is the princess of the kingdom. If there is any accident, Amy can't bear to walk around. Even if the princess comes back unharmed, Remembering to find a mistake to impeach him for this incident, he couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly asked Ge Lie for advice with a bitter face.

Ge Lie twirled his beard and muttered: "There is a war in Salem City, and it is dangerous for the princess to visit at this time. You should send someone to protect you both publicly and privately. Remember, this is sending someone to protect the princess. , justifiably!"

Amy realized it all at once, and immediately sent 500 cavalry to chase out of the city to protect Princess Celia. The number of Princess Celia's personal guards is already quite large, and because of the reason for the battle, it has expanded more than usual. There are 300 elites, and the cavalry sent by Ai Aimi is also the elite main force of the legion. The front line of the battle between Cold City and Enlil City.

Although Ai Aimi did not receive an order to send troops to participate in the war, he only sent people to protect the princess. If the princess brought this cavalry to the battlefield, and the king blamed it in the future, then the princess will bear it herself, let alone Ge Lie as a witness? Even King Asher has to give Ge Lie face!

After the cavalry was sent out, Amy was still a little worried, and said to Ge Lie worriedly: "The princess has never really been on the front line to fight, I am afraid that she will be involved in the battle with her personal guards as soon as she arrives in Salem. They are protected by those cavalry, but they are also afraid of accidents. Respected great magician, do you see...?"

Ge Lie waved his hand and said: "This is really worrying, how about it, I will also go to Salem City to see the situation there in the name of a private visit."

Ai Aimi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she is very grateful to Ge Lie! If even Ge Lie had gone, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to blame him for anything. Such an arrangement is the utmost benevolence, and it's rare that Master Ge Lie, who is admired by the whole country, is willing to help in this way. In fact, Ge Lie's purpose in coming here is to save the city of Salem, as many soldiers as can be moved. According to the current battle situation, it is too late to send infantry, and it is impossible to mobilize the chariot formation. Eight hundred elite cavalry is the best result.

Ge Lie told the student Raphael a few more words, and then left. He set off after the cavalry, but rushed to the front line first, and took over the command of the battlefield at the most appropriate time. When the two armies were at the critical moment, Celia and Seagull arrived with 800 elite cavalry, and entered the battle to become the final force to decide the outcome.

There was also a thrilling scene on the battlefield. It is true that Celia has never been on the front line to fight, and it is unlikely that she is in her capacity. It was the first time that she led the cavalry to insert from the flanks. As a great magician, she rushed to the front and left most of the left and right guards.

The seagull is also a novice, but he knew the danger after seeing this posture. He immediately let out a long howl and rushed into the sky, turning into a giant gull, and then fell straight down in front of Celia's horse. Many soldiers of the Giant Legion were terrified and shouted, "Horus, it's Horus, the god of the Ecu!"

The speed of the seagull was very fast, and it turned into a huge bird with spread wings and swooped down. It was impossible to tell whether it was a gull or an eagle even in the shadow of swords and swords. When Amon fought against the Uruk Legion on the battlefield, Horus once transformed into a giant eagle to help. Thinking of Horus at every thought, one can imagine the horror in his heart, no one has time to think about how Horus might appear here

The seagull didn't expect that he would cover Celia's charge in a hurry, which would have such a good effect on scaring the enemy. Celia took the opportunity to lead the cavalry to charge through the battle formation. The guards and cavalry behind her had no choice but to rush forward desperately, because the princess had already rushed to the front, and they had to chase after her to protect her.

Princess Celia was unharmed, but the seagull that was covering her was seriously injured. Semir, who was in the battle formation, realized that something was wrong when he saw the cavalry suddenly attacking, and shot an arrow at Celia. The giant black magic arrow used by Semir is very precious, and it is impossible to shoot many in a row, so only three are prepared, and other arrows are used in battle. The last black giant arrow shot at The great magician Celia who broke away from the personal guards.

If it was shot, Celia would not be able to stop it anyway. The seagull turned into a giant bird and landed on the ground, blocking Celia's horse's side to catch the arrow. He was seriously injured on the spot and was rescued by the cavalry behind. When the seagull woke up, he was already lying in the city of Salem. Princess Celia was sitting at the table in front of the bed, holding her chin in her hands and looking at him with tears in her eyes.

In this battle, the Salem City Legion finally killed the Giant Legion, beheaded and captured more than 2,000 enemy soldiers. Lu Sien, the chief priest of the Giant Legion, was killed, and the remnants of the enemy fled into Enlil City. He was also accidentally shot down by Gilgamesh while covering the retreat of the remnant soldiers. But the price paid by the Salem Legion was also huge, with nearly a thousand dead and countless wounded.

Seagull was seriously injured and saved his life. Medanzo and George were also injured. Three of the Twelve Judges who followed George's charge were killed, and the loss was heavy. After this battle, it was impossible for the Giant Legion to go out to fight again, but the Salem Legion was temporarily unable to launch a siege.

This is a tragic victory, and there are still many aftermath to be dealt with. Aesop allowed the giant legion to send people out of the city to collect the corpses. At the same time, he also buried the corpses of his own soldiers, treated the wounded, and rewarded those who made contributions. God Amon only appeared on the battlefield once, and then he never showed up again. The rest is human affairs, and his mission as the patron saint of the city-state has been completed.

Amon flew from the battlefield to the Assyrian plateau, but did not catch up with Enlil. The god obviously didn't want to fight him desperately now, and after sending the envoy to fight, he stepped into the void and disappeared. Amon was caught up by Goddess Mu Yun. Mu Yun asked Amon about how he became a god, and told Amon two things.

The communication between the gods is simple, and the information can be printed into the soul to explain the very complicated process. Goddess Mu Yun was also amazed at the experience of Amon meeting "Schrödinger" again. She never expected that Schrödinger was originally the "lower realm" of Artemis, the god in the distant Olympus pantheon, but now he has the achievements of the creator, and is willing to introduce Amon to join the Olympus pantheon. It's just that Amon was summoned to the battlefield before he could answer.

Mu Yun told Amon that he was not yet Enlil's opponent. Enlil not only had the achievements of the creator, but also became the main god for many years. No matter how powerful Amon was, it was impossible for Amon to defeat Enlil at this time. The reason why Enlil retreated was also because he had always been used to making decisions before acting, and he would not rush to do it himself before he found out about Amon's details.

Once Enlil endured for so many years, once he made a move, he turned the Duk Plain into thousands of miles of fertile soil, and forced Marduk to retreat steadily. It can also be seen that this god is scheming. The gods who have transcended eternal life and have truly eternal life, they are used to using various agreements to solve problems, unless they are forced or very sure, they will never try their best or do things that may hurt themselves.
