218. Trials run through eternity
Celia is the chief priest of the Anu Legion of the Hati Kingdom, and she should be in Meso City at this moment, how can she be here, and how can the seagulls be with her?
Seagull was by far the last disciple of Amun, and he was said to be the least senior among the angels of Eden, but because of the origin of the old madman, his status was unmatched by the other disciples. Also with Nietzsche's guidance, the seagull was even decades ahead of Amun, and when Amon met him, the seagull already had an eighth-level achievement.
Seagull's cultivation is not the power of two sides of the same body, he is actually an eighth-level magician or an eighth-level spirit bird, there are many differences from ordinary people, his cultivation is extremely difficult, but at the same time, there are many special talents. After receiving Amun's guidance, the seagull followed Gabriel to the Garden of Eden and then to the city of Salem.
Knowing his relationship with Amun, the disciples took good care of the seagulls. Amon only had time to guide the cultivation and testing process of the origin power, and then went to the underworld of Osiris, many specific divine arts and martial arts cultivation have not been taught, but everyone is willing to guide the seagull when they have time. Seagull has a very good temper and is curious about everything in the world, like a good boy who is diligent and studious.
The spirit bird who has just come to the city-state on a desert island has a lot to learn, and Aesop has not arranged any specific affairs for him to be in charge of, but the seagull is very enthusiastic and willing to help with everything, so it is also very pleasing to everyone. He has decades of accumulation of cultivation, and his mind is pure, and after receiving the guidance of the Origin Power and the various teachings of everyone, he has made rapid progress, and in less than a year, he has achieved the achievement of an eighth-level divine envoy.
However, his eighth-level divine envoy was still relatively immature in all aspects, because he had not experienced anything, and he naturally could not be compared to a great achiever like Medanzo, who had been exploring with Amon since he had cultivated the power of the two sides of the one. But Seagull also has an advantage, he hasn't thought about anything else in the past few decades, that is, his single-minded cultivation has never stopped, and it is difficult for other monks to do this, so the mana is also very strong, just look at who he compares to.
When he arrived in the city of Salem, the Anu army of the Hatian kingdom entered the plain of Duk to fight the city of Marduk, and the two armies were in a stalemate, and the army of Hati also built the city of Meso in the southern part of the plain. The city of Salem was the logistical transit and supply base of the Harti Expeditionary Force, so there was a lot of personnel exchange.
About a year ago, Princess Celia had come to the city of Salem, and Aesop, of course, had to receive her with great pomp. It was in the Lord's Mansion that all the important people of the city of Salem were present, and the seagulls were also present. It was the first time for the seagull to attend such a major "diplomatic" occasion, and when she saw the princess of the kingdom, she was a little nervous, afraid of making jokes.
The more I was afraid, the more I came, and I blamed George for not telling Princess Celia about her origin in advance, because everyone had 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, and it was naturally inconvenient to say in public that he was a messenger in the Garden of Eden, but only that he was a new disciple of Amun God on earth.
Then George said to the seagull, "This charming and beautiful princess is also a powerful eighth-level divine magician, and she is also a well-known summoning divine master on the mainland. ”
This was a normal compliment, but when he saw that the seagull's face changed and his legs became weak, he actually threw himself on the ground in fright! What happened? The seagull was no longer as timid as he had been at the beginning, but there was a sentence that had already been deeply imprinted in his mind, like an imprint into his soul.
When the old madman left the island, he said that the distant continent was dangerous, and that there were powerful summoners who would imprint his soul and drive it as a summoning beast. The seagull was so frightened that he didn't dare to leave the island in the sea for decades, this was the only nightmare in his pure heart, and the powerful summoner on the continent became a demon-like existence in his mind.
He was already nervous today, and when he heard George say such an introduction, the demon in the dream stood in front of him, as if he had been under a spell, and his subconscious legs were weak and did not stand, which startled Celia.
Celia was also curious to ask what was wrong with the seagull, and the seagull told her honestly, but the beautiful princess giggled, and the more she looked at the seagull, the more she felt simple and cute. Although the explanation was clear, the seagull was still very nervous when she saw Celia, and he listened to whatever Celia said, as if it had become an instinct for fear of being caught and branded with her soul.
When George saw the seagull like this, he may have deliberately joked and made a bad joke, or he may have wanted the seagull to train his courage, so he actually appointed the seagull as the full-time receptionist of Salem City, and followed Celia to protect the princess's safety, in fact, he helped Celia in everything, and also accompanied the princess to hunt in the wilderness.
Celia became more and more interesting the more she looked at the seagull, as long as she spoke loudly, the seagull blushed and looked very nervous, this was not afraid of her status as a princess of the kingdom, it was purely a reaction of habitual surname. Later, Celia called the summoned beast Leo and tried her skills with the seagull, but it turned out that Leo was not the opponent of the seagull, and Amon, a shy disciple, was so good!
When Celia was about to return to the city-state of Meso after finishing her errands, the lord of Aesop sent seagulls to escort her, and the main task was to escort the convoy of supplies. Celia asked Aesop what position the seagull held in Salem City or the Salem Legion, and learned that the seagull was still studying and cultivating, so the princess took the opportunity to make a request to borrow someone from Salem City.
This request played into the heart of Aesop, who was thinking about sending the seagulls to Mae So. At that time, the Harti army had already built a dock at the inland lake, and the city-state of Meso was under construction, and Aesop was eager to improve relations with the city-state, grasp the dynamics there, and preferably send someone who could be trusted by both sides.
This person must have an innocent background, will not cause jealousy, and at the same time must be absolutely loyal to Amon, and can also gain the favor of the other party, it is really not easy to find, and the seagull is like an excellent candidate to send to the eyes. The shrewd Isolt could also tell that Celia seemed to like seagulls, and seagulls really deserved a lot of experience, so she immediately agreed.
When the seagull arrives in Meso, Raphael guesses Aesop's intentions and suggests that the princess appoint the seagull as the captain of her guard. The princess's original captain of the personal guard was an imperial general, and because of the needs of the war, he could be transferred to the front line, and Celia happily agreed. It is true that there is no more conscientious captain of the guard than the seagull, and he will not be lazy and slippery at all.
The Seagull was originally a mind-activated seagull, and later gave herself the name Seagull, but Celia told him that it should not be a first name but a surname, indicating his origin. So the seagull gave himself the name Michael, and his full name was Michael-The Seagull.
Before the outbreak of the great war between Salem City and Enriel City, there was an accident in the trade route in the Black Fire Swamp, which was also one of the logistics routes between Meso City and the Hatti Kingdom, so Princess Celia also attached great importance to it, and she had always been very concerned about the situation in Salem City, so she sent Leo to assist Yunmeng to guard the Black Fire Swamp. Rumor Leo is a descendant of the Mermaid, and he can also use his powers in the swamps.
Immediately after the battle between Salem City and Enriel City was unfavorable, and the situation was precarious, the city lord of Aesop sent people to ask Princess Celia for help. He was very particular about asking for help, according to the normal official procedure, either to ask for help from King Hatie or from the city-state of Meso, but Aesop asked for help directly to Princess Celia.
At that time, the commander of the Anu Legion was Amy, who was in charge of the army in Meso, and when Celia approached Amy and asked him to send troops to rescue Salem City, Amy refused with a sad face, and there were two reasons why Amy was not good for doing so. On the one hand, the mobilization of a large army requires the king's orders, and the commander of the legion cannot make his own claims.
On the other hand, there was a long-standing agreement between the city of Salem and the Anu Legion that the regular combat units of the Anu Legion were not allowed to enter the territory of the city, which was supposed to be a precautionary measure of mutual respect, but now it has become an excuse. In fact, the attitude of the Hati Kingdom towards the city of Salem is only to wait and see, giving logistical support but not direct military support, even if the king of Asher knows about this, he will not launch a large army.
The seagull cried urgently, and said to Princess Celia on the spot, please let him go back to save the city of Salem by himself. At this time, a respected old man came to the city-state of Mae So, and it was Gore. Celia hurriedly asked Goreh what to do, and Goreh frowned and said, "Captain Amy can't move the army without permission, this is also the decree of the kingdom. However, Her Royal Highness can 'visit' Salem in a private capacity, which is not against any agreement, and you have the right to bring your own personal guards to protect your own safety. ”
After saying this, Ge Lie looked at Celia, and at this time he took the pro-guards to visit the city of Salem, and everyone understood what it meant, depending on whether the princess had the heart and the courage?
By the time Amy heard the news, the princess was gone, and Amy was shocked. Celia is the chief priest of the Anu Legion, and she also has the responsibility of supervising the army, not to mention that her identity is the princess of the kingdom, and if there is any accident, Amy can't eat and walk around, even if the princess comes back unharmed, he can't stand it if he makes a mistake to impeach him for this matter, so he hurriedly asked Gelie with a bitter face.
Ge Lie twisted his beard and muttered: "There is a war in Salem City, and the princess is indeed in danger when she visits at this time, so you should send someone to protect you both in public and private." Remember, this is sending someone to protect the princess, and it is right!"
Amy reacted immediately, and immediately sent five hundred cavalry to chase out of the city to protect Princess Celia. Princess Celia's personal guards were already quite numerous, but they were expanded compared to usual for the reason of the battle, with three hundred elites, and the cavalry sent by Amy was also the elite main force in the legion, and these eight hundred people rushed to the front line of the battle between Salem City and Enriel City.
Although Amy was not ordered to send troops to the war, he only sent people to protect the princess. If the princess brought this cavalry to the battlefield, and the king would blame it in the future, then the princess herself would bear it, not to mention the witness of Goreh, who would have to give face to Gereh!
The cavalry was sent out, but Amy was still a little worried, and said to Ge Lie with concern: "The princess has not really fought on the front line, I am afraid that she will be involved in the battle with her personal guards as soon as she arrives in the city of Salem, although there are those cavalry to protect her, but she is also afraid of accidents." Honorable Great Magician, what do you think ......?"
Ge Lie waved his hand and said, "This is really worrying, so let's go to Salem City as well as a private visit to see the situation over there." ”
Amy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Geree! If even Goreh went, I am afraid that he would not be able to blame him for anything, such an arrangement is already benevolent and righteous, and it is rare for the whole country to admire Goreol to help in this way. In fact, Ge Lie's intention was to save the city of Salem, and as many soldiers could be moved. According to the current battle situation, it is too late to send infantry in the past, and it is impossible to mobilize the chariot formation, and 800 elite cavalry is the best result.
After a few more words of advice to Raphael, Goret took his leave, and he set out after the cavalry, but rushed to the front first, and took command of the battlefield at the most opportune time. When the battle between the two armies was inextricably linked, Celia and Seagull arrived with 800 elite cavalry and inserted into the battle formation to become the last force to decide the victory.
There was also a thrilling scene on the battlefield, Celia really did not go to the front line to rush and kill, and it is unlikely that she would be able to do so. The first time she led the cavalry to insert from the flank, she, as a great magician, actually rushed to the front, throwing off most of the left and right guards, and did not have time to lay a wedge-shaped escort array, and was in a very dangerous situation in the chaos of the army.
The seagull was also a novice, but when he saw this frame, he also knew the danger, and immediately let out a long howl and rushed into the sky to turn into a giant gull, and then swooped down in front of Celia's horse. Many of the soldiers of the Giant Legion were terrified and shouted, "Horus, it is Horus, the god of Eju!"
The seagull was very fast, turning into a giant bird with wings spread and swooping down in the air, and there was no time to distinguish between a gull and an eagle in the shadow of the sword. Amon fought the Uruk Legion on the battlefield that year, Horus once turned into a giant eagle to help, this is already a "myth" spread all over the continent, the seagull appeared on the battlefield like this, most people thought of Horus at the first thought, and the horror in their hearts can be imagined, no one has time to think about how Horus could appear here?
The seagull didn't expect that covering Celia's charge in a hurry would have such a good effect of frightening the enemy, and Celia took the opportunity to lead the cavalry to break through the battle formation. The guards and cavalry behind her had no choice, and they didn't even have time to entangle themselves in battle, so they could only rush forward desperately, because the princess had already rushed to the front, and they had to chase after them to protect her.
Princess Celia was unharmed, but the seagulls covering her were badly wounded. Semir, who was in the battle array, saw that the cavalry had suddenly arrived, and realized that something was wrong, and fired an arrow at Celia. The kind of black magic arrow used by Semir was very precious, and it was impossible to shoot a lot in a row, so only three were prepared, and other arrows were used in battle, and this last black giant arrow was shot at the great magician Celia who was separated from the guard.
If it hit, Celia couldn't stop it anyway, and the seagull turned into a giant bird and landed, stopped on Celia's side and took the arrow, and was seriously wounded on the spot and was rescued by the cavalry behind. When the seagull woke up, she was already lying in the city of Salem, and Princess Celia was sitting at the table in front of the bed, with her chin in her hands and looking at him with tears in her eyes.
In this battle, the Salem City Legion finally repelled the Giant Legion, beheaded and captured more than 2,000 enemy soldiers, the main priest of the Giant Legion Lu Sien was killed, and the remnants of the enemy fled into Enriel City and could not hold on to the city defense, and Zhu Xuan, the god of the Heavenly Bull, was also accidentally shot down by Gilgamesh with an arrow when covering the retreat of the remnants. But the price paid by the Salem legion was equally enormous, with nearly 1,000 killed and countless wounded.
The seagull was seriously wounded and saved his life, Medanzo and George were also wounded, and the twelve cadets who followed George's charge lost three of them. After this battle, it was impossible for the Giant Legion to go out of the city to fight again, but the Salem Legion was not able to launch a siege for the time being.
It's a tragic victory, and there's a lot to deal with in the aftermath. Aesop allowed the Giant Legion to send people out of the city to collect the corpses, and at the same time buried the corpses of his own fallen soldiers, treated the wounded, and rewarded the meritorious. Amun only appeared once on the battlefield and then never showed up again, the rest was a matter of human affairs, and his mission as the patron saint of the city-state was accomplished.
Amun flew from the battlefield to the Assyrian plateau, but did not catch up with Enriel, and the god apparently did not want to fight him now, and sent an envoy to fight before stepping into the void and missing his whereabouts. Amon was caught up by the goddess Mu Yun, who asked Amon about how he became a god and told Amon two things.
The communication between the gods and spirits is simple, and the information imprinted into the soul can clearly explain the very complicated process, and the goddess Mu Yun was also amazed by the experience of Amun's re-encounter with "Schrödinger". She never expected that Schrödinger was originally the "Nether" of Artemis, the god in the distant Olympus system, and now he has the achievements of the creator, and he is willing to accept Amon to join the Olympus system. But before Amon could answer, he was summoned to the battlefield.
Mu Yun told Amon that he was not Enriel's opponent yet, and that Enriel not only had the achievements of the creator, but also had become the main god and cultivated for many years, and even if Amon was strong, it was impossible for Amon to defeat Enril at this time. The reason why Enriel retreated was also because he had always been accustomed to planning before acting, and he would not rashly take matters into his own hands until he had figured out the details of Amon.
Enriel has endured it for so many years, and once he makes a move, he will turn the Duk Plain into a fertile land for thousands of miles, and he will force Malduk to retreat one after another, and you can also see the old plan of this god. The gods who have transcended immortality and have a truly eternal life, they are accustomed to solving problems with various conventions, and they will never fight or do anything that may harm them unless they are forced to do so.
