Chapter 1356: Parting Ways, Going Astray, and Showing Their Magical Powers
What Lalai said had always been very authoritative among the Lamech clan, and if he said it before something happened, it would be treated as prophecy by everyone.
If it's something that happens after it happens, it's the final word.
can put a final conclusion on that matter, and from then on, everyone has no objections.
Therefore, when he spoke, the two great men, Nodin and Nowu, listened and did not speak, nor did they refute.
But they don't know what they have in mind.
Listening only to Lalai continue to speak, it is absolutely serious, and there is absolutely no lie: "I was in the company of those heroes, and at their call-up, I set out from my distant Far Eastern homeland to gather the heroes; I was active on the battlefield at that time, and I showed my great role by standing alone! I can say with great certainty that none of you ordinary people living today are their opponents!" Yet, even then, they listened to me and respected what I had to say, so you should listen to me, for you are wise men, and all wise men should be as good as they are! You, Nodin, as great as you are, should not try to keep that girl, her name is Helen, right? I know she's a kraken, and you should know that krakens are human beings, but they are disciples of fallen angels, and they all came to you for the purpose of that fallen angel! Have you seen how many fratricidal incidents have happened here since she came? Everything is caused by her; if you send her away, it will be a new beginning, and without her, you will cut off the source of trouble! You should hand Helen over to Zhixuan, how to deal with it is his business, and your best arrangement is that from now on, you will never have anything to do with Helen again! As for thyself, the fourth son of old Lamech, a very good warrior, do not wish to contend with a former lord of the city, who is no one else to have his share in the possession of honor, a king with a scepter in his hand, and the mighty one to honor him. Although you are stronger than him, and your mother was the second lady of your father, the elder Lamech, your rival rules more people and is more powerful. Calm your wrath, O No, and behold, even I beg you to stop your wrath against Nodin, who was a fortress against the whole city of Nodin, in the midst of a terrible war. β
After hearing this, he replied forcefully: "I admit, old man, your words are very coherent and not bad. However, Noudin wanted to be above the crowd and tried to rule over everything, and the king ruled the whole army and gave orders to everyone. However, I don't want to eat his ways! I know that I can't swallow this breath! Although the Mighty One has made him a powerful king, he has never given him the right to abuse him wantonly! So, old man, I am not depriving you of face, I am just very dissatisfied with Nodin, and I will not be bullied by him. β
When he heard this, Nodin, who was very gifted, stared at him viciously, and replied, "Good fellow! If I obey you, regardless of whether you are talking about it or not, then people will call me a coward and a wretch! Go and tell others to do this and that, and stop giving orders to me! I, Nodin, will no longer want to obey your commands. Moreover, I have one thing to tell you, and I want you to keep in mind: my hands will fight for the girl, who is my future wife, Helen, whether it be for you or for anyone else! I have Helen, and no one can take her out of my hands, and your desire to take her away will never succeed! And you will not touch a penny of my power, such as the lord of the west, and other possessions, which are piled up in the place where I live, without my permission. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try, or let others see, and in an instant, your black blood will spray my spear head!"
I don't know when, Nodin didn't know where to draw a black spear, a foot five feet long, the black spear head, like a vicious viper, was ready to devour.
Those who are familiar with Nodin know that this weapon is his best weapon for killing.
Once he pulled out this black spear, his combat power could instantly increase by twenty percent.
As soon as the spear lit up, although it could not frighten the others, the others stopped talking.
In this way, the two spoke violently, and after a verbal battle, they stood up and disbanded the first meeting of the high-ranking leaders of the western city.
Originally, the purpose of this meeting was to concentrate their strength and wisdom to defeat Nocin in the east, but because of the great disagreement between Noodin and Nowu, they could not reach an agreement at all, and instead promoted their split.
After the meeting, Nowu returned to the shores of the Red Sea, where he had gathered his ships.
and Nobu who returned to the barracks and the well-proportioned ships of the sea, and Nogi and their companions.
As the brother of the city lord, although he is not as stiff as Nuo Wu and Nuo Ding, but if Nuo Wu goes away, he will definitely become the primary target of Nuo Ding's attack, so he thinks about it, or follows Nuo Wu away.
When everything was ready, Noe ordered the tugboat to be towed down the Red Sea, and twenty oarsmen were appointed to carry the sacrifices to the gods, and the abundant animals, and boarded the wooden boats, and Noe was the leader, of course, and the shrewd and able Noji also had a post to accompany him as a superintendent.
Everything was packed up, and the ships headed for the Red Sea.
Soon they came to a beach, and Nodinh ordered the whole army to worship the gods.
All the people, without exception, obeyed the command, washed away the filth from their bodies, threw them into the sea, and offered rich offerings, and on the shores of the desert ocean, they made offerings to Apollo with fat bulls and goats, and the smoke and fragrance rose up to the sky.
In this way, they were busy in the barracks, knowing that the sacrifice was completed.
At this time, it was supposed to be a period of peaceful recuperation, resting the team and preparing for future battles.
But Nou, who had no intention of stopping the fighting, did not forget the threat he had made to Nodin, and commanded the witch, his two messengers, and his diligent assistants: "Go, go quickly to Nodin's barracks, and ask for the beautiful Helen, and if he does not let you do it, I will personally go and take the girl and lead the army with the bravery, thus greatly aggravating his sorrow." β
At this time, Noud had a new war, because the coast of the Red Sea, where he was now stationed, was on the western shore of the Red Sea, and there was a Red Sea in the middle opposite Mount Sinai, where Nodin, where they were stationed.
There he gathered his elite soldiers, enough to crush the men of Nodin.
Nowu sent two messengers from Witch Suus, and his harsh orders rang in the ears of them all the time, so that they had to hurry there.
In fact, these two men really didn't want to do this errand, because they knew that Nodin would definitely refuse them.
And it is very likely that in a fit of rage, they will take their lives.
The two men crossed the sea again, and went to the shore opposite to the desert sea, and against their will, came to the camp of the Nodins, and found them sitting beside his tent and the black boats, with a straight face, and the arrival of the messenger did not make him the slightest pleasure, but added to his sorrow.
The two messengers went into Nodin, with fear and awe, but stopped there, stood still, and did not speak or ask questions.
However, Nodin knew them, and he understood in his heart, and said, "Welcome, messenger, messenger of Nou, come, come closer! though you have been sent by Nou's abominable fellow, you are innocent in my eyesβit is Nodin who is to be punished, and it is Nodin who has sent them here to take away Helen, but, you know, I have sworn long ago that I will never hand him over! I should have killed you as a warning because of your offense against me, but I have spared you out of mercy! Go, noble witch, noble witch, return alive! Including in front of the cruel king Nowu, I am a victim, I am suffering, I lack the wisdom to look ahead, I am powerless to protect my people, the whole army is waiting for me to fight, to prevent the shameful destruction for everyone, at that time, I will have to fight to the death, whether Nowu comes, or he sends someone, I will no longer tolerate it!"
Wu Su and Wu Si listened to it and left empty-handed.
They returned to the camp, settled in grief, and sat alone on the shore of the gray-blue ocean with teary eyes, far away from their companions, looking at the endless waters, and again and again raising their hands in prayer to heaven.
Because he felt greatly humiliated, he should have killed the two messengers and fought to the death with Nowu, but because he felt that his strength was insufficient, he adopted the strategy of bearing the humiliation.
He lamented that he was a short-lived son, who had not been blessed by the Almighty, so that he had been insulted by Noe.
But then he heard a voice ask him, "Nodin, why are you weeping, what sorrow is that has taken hold of your heart? Tell me, don't hide it in your heart, so that you and I may know." β
Nodin, with a long sigh, replied, "You know, you know this, why do you want me to tell you? I have taken Helen and intend to marry her, but Zhixuan has come to ask for it, and I cannot return it to him! Though Zhixuan, with his innumerable gifts, and holding the golden scepter with the strip of Apollo the long-ranged archer, begged me to give him Helen, first of all, my two brothers and other people all voiced their voices in agreement, that Zhixuan should be honored and accept this glorious ransom. However, this did not bring pleasure to Nowu, and he violently drove Zhi away with stern orders, and Zhi Xiang left in anger, but Apollo heard his warning. He shot poisoned arrows at my people, and the soldiers fell in droves, sweeping across the vast camp of my people. Later, when the soothsayers who were fortunate enough to know the story revealed Apollo's intentions, I was the first to come forward and ask for appeasement of Apollo's anger. Now that his threats have been put into practice, after he has departed, he will send messengers for Helen and to further humiliate and threaten me, and now I am in daily terror of being threatened by Nou, and if you have the power to protect me, who have always looked up to you, if you have the power to do so, That is, he, who rules a vast territory, realizes his arrogance and regrets insulting me, the best of Seth's descendants, and I am relieved, and I have the intention to continue to live and fight. β
When he had heard this, the Almighty replied, "Alas, wretched child, you have come to earth with misfortune, and I wish you would sit by the boat without trouble, insulated from tears, because your life is short and your time is short, and now it seems that you will not only have a short life, but will suffer more than the world, and you have been born in the halls, and you will be tormented by doom! Now you can stay by your own boat, full of anger at No, and do not go to war, waiting for me to give you new instructions, and perhaps change your fate." β
With that, the mighty man stopped talking, leaving Nodin alone, worried for himself and Helen, and continued to hate Nod.
At the same time, the wooden boat of Nokutoku. Carrying sacred sacrifices, they have also sailed to the surface of the Red Sea.
When the ship entered the deep dock, they gathered the sails, stacked them in the black boat, loosened the front cables, and caused the mast to lie down quickly on the support, and then swung their oars and rowed to the shore where the anchor had been dropped.
They threw out the anchor stones, fastened the ropes at the stern of the ship, reached the shore edge, and strode forward, carrying the rich sacrifice to Apollo the long-range archer, where Zhixuan received them.
Noji said to Zhixian, "O Zhixiang, we have been sent by the king whom the people have beloved, and we have brought with us a great number of sacrifices and gifts, and we are preparing to make a holy sacrifice to Apollo on behalf of the Lameths, in order to appease the mighty one, so that he may appease his anger and not bring pain and sorrow to my people. β
Zhiyun said: "What about Helen? That's the most important thing!"
Noji said helplessly: "Helen is in Nodin's hands, and he resolutely refuses to let go, so he didn't bring her." β
Zhixuan frowned and said: "You are so rebellious, you can't let Helen back and return her to Nobing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the Apollo Mighty stop being angry, and if he continues to be angry, he will continue to send down the plague, shoot the bow and arrow, and continue to punish you, this is not for me to decide." β
"We have done our best, but we can't convince him because he is the lord of the city and has great power. β
Zhiyun said: "It seems that this is the only way. β
With that, he commanded the people to come near to the strong altar, and the people gathered up their sacrifices to Apollo with their hands and feet.
Then they washed their hands and grabbed the barley.
He prayed aloud with his arms raised and in a loud voice: "Hear me, Apollo the Almighty, the mighty one who punishes evil and promotes good, and the mighty ruler of the earth and mountains, if thou hast heard my prayers before, and hast given me honour and punished the rebellious Lamech, then fulfill my prayer once more, and stop the archery, and the pestilence, and put an end to this terrible plague that has endured those men." β
