The angel of the hour widened the long-maned horse out of the yoke and tied it to the trough filled with immortal materials, and parked the carriage by the smooth inner wall. The two angels rested on the golden benches and gathered together with the other angels, enduring their sorrows.

At this time, Satan the Great, rode his steed horse-drawn chariot with strong rims, from the mountain where he was sitting to the top of Mount Catherine, and descended to the ground like lightning and thunder, and came to the hall of the angels.

The mighty Satan stooped down on his throne, and the mighty Mount Catherine swayed at his feet, and all the angels gathered around him, trying to get close to him, but the bull-eyed angel and the sheep-eyed angel sat away from him, neither speaking to him nor questioning him.

But Satan understood in his heart, and said, "Why are you so sorrowful, sheep-eyed angel and bull's-eyed angel, and you two will not be so busy and exhausted as you slaughter the people of Dongcheng whom you hate, and look at all my things, my strength, and my invincible hands!" All the angels on Mount Catherine, even if you act with your hands, will not try to bring me down, and as for you and you, your weak limbs will tremble before you have seen the battle and the bitter war, and I will tell you bluntly, that my words will be put into practice: If I let my lightning break your chariots and horses, you will never return to the house of the angels!"

The boss Satan gave such a warning, everyone listened carefully, and kept sitting upright, but the sheep-eyed angel and the bull's-eyed angel did not pay attention to it at all, and muttered to themselves, and the two sat very close, planning how to make those Dongcheng people who were hated by the two angels suffer.

The sheep-eyed angel sat silent, her face was gloomy, and she was strongly dissatisfied with the boss Satan, and her heart was rubbed with violent rage, but she forced herself to remain silent.

But the bull-eyed angel could not bear the anger in his heart, and he said to Satan, the elder, "What have you said, the terrible king, the only one? We know that you are very powerful, how dare you oppose you? Yet, in spite of this, we are grieved for the gunmen on the side of the West City who fought on the earth, and they had to accept their tragic fate and die in battle, yes, we will not intervene in the battle, and we will only do some useful persuasion to those in the West City, according to your command, so that they will not be destroyed by your wrath. ”

Hearing this, Satan, the boss with dark clouds on his face, replied: "Tomorrow dawn, bull-eyed angel, you will see that if you are in this mood, there will be an even greater catastrophe that will kill the rows of Xicheng gunmen, and the strong Nocin will not cease to fight until the people of Xicheng stand up beside the ship, and that day they will gather at the edge of the stern of the ship and fight to the death for the body of Nogen." This is what is meant to happen, and I don't mind you and your wrath, yes, even if you wander to the unfathomable depths of the sea, I don't care about your grudges—there is no more shameless scoundrel than you!"

Satan reprimanded him like this, and the bull-eyed angel was silent.

By that time, the waves of the Red Sea had already gathered the afterglow of the sun, and the black night enveloped the fields rich in grain.

For the people of the East City, the passing of the sun backfired, but for the people of the West City, the coming of the night was a kind of luck, and how they eagerly prayed for the coming of the night!

The glorious Nobing gathered all the soldiers of the eastern city and took them away from the place where the ships were anchored, and beside the waves of the Red Sea, in a clean land, except there were no corpses scattered there.

The crowd stepped out of their chariots from their horses and listened to the teachings of Satan's beloved Noc.

Leaning against the spear, eleven cubits long, and the tip of a bronze spear shining at the top of the spear, held in place by a golden ring, Hector cried out to them, "Listen to me, my warriors of the eastern city, my allies! I thought that by this time we had destroyed the people of Xicheng, and destroyed their ships, and that we could return our troops to the city of Dongcheng, but night had come so quickly, and had saved the soldiers of Xicheng and their ships, and had provided them with the best protection on the shore of the rough waves, well, let us accept the advice of the night, and prepare our meals, and widen our horses with long manes from their yokes, and put troughs in front of their legs, and let us bring out the oxen and fat sheep from the city, and bring sweet wine and food from our homes, and we would build up piles of firewood, so that the campfires might not be extinguished all night until the first dawn, and the many fires burned brightlyReflecting the red night sky, those Xicheng people will not take advantage of the cover of night to set sail home, break through the waterways of Jiesen, and escape back to their homeland; no, they must not be allowed to step on the plank, they must fight hard and pay the price of death before they can have any hope of escaping! We must not let them leave leisurely! When they return home, we will have to heal their bloody wounds, and the gifts of feathered arrows and swift spears, which will surely follow them when they step on the wooden boats, and that no one else will dare to bring war upon our people's horsemen. Let the elde's favorite messenger sail through the city, and have the young boys and the old men with gray sideburns go to the castle built by the mighty and surround the walls of the city, let their wives light a fire in their halls, and set up sentry posts to keep watch all night in case the enemy may attack the castle while our army is leaving, and this is my arrangement, and the reckless people of the eastern city will do as I say. May you obey my commands, be good at horses, and obey my call for tomorrow morning! I pray to Satan the Boss and to the gods, full of hope, that we may drive out the people of Xicheng and destroy them, and this evil dog, the fate of death has brought them here, and use their black ships! Tonight, we will take precautions, and tomorrow morning, at dawn, we will be fully armed and awaken the fierce god of war by the deep side of the ship! I will see if the mighty Modus will knock me away from the ship and force me back to the wall, or if I will slaughter him with a bronze spear and bring back the blood-soaked reward, and tomorrow he will know how strong he is and whether he will be able to withstand my spear, and tomorrow, when the sun rises, he will, I think, fall in the front row, surrounded by dead companions. Oh, if only I could be sure that I would live forever, that I would be as revered as the sheep-eyed angel and the angel of war, and as sure as the conviction that tomorrow would be the end of the people of the Westside!"

After saying that, the people of Dongcheng responded with a roar of approval.

They took their sweaty horses out of the yoke and tied them to the reins, so that they could be tethered to their chariots, around which they could move freely and rest.

They moved quickly, bringing cattle and fat sheep from the city, bringing sweet wine and food from their homes, and building piles of firewood.

They offered a full sacrifice to those who were mighty and feared them, and the evening breeze lifted up from the plains to the sky with the smoke of incense, but the mighty ones did not eat it, and they did not want to, because they hated Noah and his soldiers with heavy wooden poles and spears in their hands.

In this way, the brave spirit of the soldiers of the eastern city was full of spirit, and they sat all night in the empty passage of the marching army, accompanied by thousands of burning campfires, like stars in the sky, scattered around the bright moon shining with white light, radiating a crystal light;

In the same way, the people of Dongcheng lit a starry campfire, and spent the night in front of Dongcheng, among the rapids of the Red Sea, and among the ships, and on the plain there were a thousand campfires, and by each fire sat fifty brave soldiers, reflected in the bright light of the fire, and the horses stood by their chariots, munching oats and snow-white barley, waiting for the dawn to ascend to their seats, and let out their brilliant brilliance.

In this way, the soldiers under the command of Dongcheng Nuo Bing will be on guard all night.

On the other hand, what about the people of Westside? Their situation is terrible.

The panic over the threat posed to them by the angelic message, the callous rioting companions tugged at their hearts, and the unbearable grief greatly frustrated all the best of them. Just like in the sea where the fish swim together, two strong winds swept up the waves, swept over, rushed and rushed, setting off black waves, surging, washing away the seaweed, and chasing the ocean waves, everyone in Xicheng was anxious, and their chests were confused.

Nuo Wu marched through the procession with a full stomach full of sorrow, and commanded the messenger with a clear voice to gather the people by name, but not to shout loudly, while he himself was to do it with the leading messenger, and the soldiers sat down at the place of the assembly, and hung their heads in despair.

As he stood up, tears welling up like a dark stream, flowing like a dark stream along the impregnable cliff, he sighed and said to the people: "Friends, princes and rulers! Satan has led me into the trap of madness, and he is so cruel! He wants me to return to my homeland in the Near East in disgrace, after losing many soldiers, and this is what the mighty Satan has done to make his heart burn; before that, he has smashed the crowns of many cities, and will continue to smash them in the future, who can resist his strength? Forget it, do as I say, let us submit and board the ship, and flee back to our beloved homeland, because of Satan's obstruction, we will never be able to storm the open city of Dongcheng!"

After he finished speaking, everyone was silent, the audience was solemn, and in the grief, the people of Xicheng were speechless for a long time.

Finally, Modus, who roared on the battlefield, opened his mouth to break the silence: " I will be the first to wage war against your folly, and it is my right at the assembly, my king, so do not be furious with me; among us my courage is the first object of your taunts; you accuse me of cowardice, and not of being the material for battle; all this is known to all, both old and young, and the gift of the scheming mighty is given to you in two ways: he has given you the scepter, which gives you an honor unattainable by others, but he has not given you courage, a most powerful force; poor manDo you really think that our people are as cowardly as you say, and that they cannot withstand the beatings of war? However, if you really want to go, then go your way! The way back is just around the corner, and the sea boat you have brought with you is parked by the waves, and the others will stay here until the castle is taken, and the east city is taken! Even if they want to sail back to their beloved country, the two of us, Melos and I, must stay and usher in the end of the East City with battle, and don't forget, we are here with the angels who bless us!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers shouted loudly, agreeing with the answer of the master trainer Modus.

At this moment stood up in the crowd the chariot fighter Stoll, the venerable old man, who said: "Madus, you are the best of your peers in battle, and you are the best of your peers in arguments, and none of us can despise your opinion or refute your remarks; I know that you are still young, and that you can even be my son, the youngest, in terms of age, and nevertheless that you, in the face of our king, speak in a clear and coherent manner, and now let me say a few words as well, for I claim to be older than you, and able to take care of all aspects of the matter, and no one can despise my words, including the mighty Noe, who is keen to make a name for himself by making enemies against his own people, and stirring up terrible fights, and who will be insulated from his tribe, his family, and his ancestral customs! For now, we accept the advice of the night and prepare dinner. All the sentry posts were to be duly in place, in front of the parapet, by the trenches we had dug, and these were my encouragements to the young people. Then it is up to you, No, as the noblest king, to exercise the duties and powers of commander-in-chief, and to set up a feast and entertain the princes, which is your duty, and is in keeping with your status. Thy barracks have good wine, and our ships are brought from abroad every day, and they cross the wide seas, and there are all kinds of sumptuous provisions, and hospitality is thy part, and thou hast rule over a great multitude of soldiers and people, and when the multitude gathers, let us see who can give the best advice, and follow his opinion. At present, our whole army urgently needs to hear the right and appropriate proposition, and the enemy has approached the ships of the sea and lit thousands of bonfires. Who can be happy after watching this situation? Success or failure is set tonight, and either the whole army will be defeated or the difficulties will be overcome. ”

The people listened carefully to the wise man's speech and obeyed his arrangement. The sentinels were quickly dispatched, heavily armed, and each of them had a leader with a pipe belt.
