The world outside the body also seems to have a heart, and the heaven and earth are breathing and breathing, with a vivid breath. How to communicate with it with one's own body and mind is the source of the power bestowed by the gods, and it is also the source of all kinds of magical methods of the magicians. Amon forgets that he is already a great magician, and as if he were ushering in a new life at dawn, he rediscovers the source of the power of awakening.

Amun seems to see the energy of the rhythm of life between heaven and earth, and to grasp the light of inspiration in this ritual and merge it with his body and mind, and to be able to find this state alone in meditation in the future, which is the second awakening of power.

Performing such a ritual for a samurai is indeed something that only a great magician can do. Mary's ritual for Amun took almost twice as long as usual, and she did not hesitate to devote her heart and mana. In the eyes of outsiders, this is also the first time that the Holy Maiden has held a second awakening ceremony of power, and if you have no experience, of course, you should familiarize yourself with the process.

Samurai generally do not awaken the power granted by the gods immediately after the ceremony, and they have to start with the most basic divine meditation to find the state that they were guided into during the ritual to be successful.

This ritual is usually only performed once, and it is quite a drain on a great sorcerer. If you can't succeed once, although you can theoretically do it again, the chance of success is already very small, and no great magician will repeatedly toss for a samurai.

Even though the effect of the ritual again was small, Maria didn't seem to mind giving Amon a few more chances. A few days after the ceremony, she sent someone to ask Amon if she could feel the power of awakening from the meditation state? Amon replied, "Thank you for your concern, I have succeeded!"

When Mary heard the news, she immediately issued an order for High Priest George to send a teacher to teach Amun to learn the Egyptian language.

Amun had to pretend to learn the Eiju Divine Script again, and the teacher praised Amun's great warrior for his incomparable intelligence and mastery of the Divine Script in the shortest possible time. It is not surprising that people have become a great warrior at a young age, how could Amun not be a gifted and intelligent person? Moreover, if he has mastered the writing of secular writing, it is not too difficult to learn the divine script, as long as he understands the special and complex rules.

The temple also specially sent two fifth-level divine magicians to guide Amun's cultivation of low-level divine arts. As a great magician, Amon seems to be quite modest, listens carefully to the instructions, does not put on a show, but rarely asks questions. In short, he learned very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to start getting into contact with the content of mid-level divine arts.

It was already difficult for the two fifth-level magicians to continue teaching Amon, so they went back to their superiors and asked for another divine arts teacher for the Great Warrior of Amon. As a result, George, the old friend of the old madman Nietzsche, who is now the high priest of the temple of Isis, said: "Let me personally instruct the great warrior of Amun." ”

George took over the matter, but did not teach Amon any magic, but only gave him a permission to go through all the magic books in the archive on his own, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he would ask again. The High Priest was usually too busy to teach Amun's arts, and the Archives was under George's jurisdiction, and Amon was familiar with the place, so he didn't need to bother to guide him.

With this convenience, Amon could finally find an opportunity to consult another book that Schrödinger had asked him to read, but before he could do so, he was entangled in another matter.

It happened very suddenly, and the holy woman herself ordered that Amun, the great warrior of glory who was at leisure, should live alone in a large compound with a meditation ashram, and that he should not go out of the house for the rest of the day, and that if he wanted to read any books, he would write down a catalogue and let the servants send them. Ask him to wait quietly for the messenger from the capital of the king of Eju, for something important will happen.

The Holy Maiden sent for Amun to bring some books of war, which Amun had read before, but Mary asked him to review them again. At the same time, there were also various military exercise props, including topographic maps around the Eju Empire, sand table models of various marches and camps, and even drawings and models of supply and transport ships during the voyage, so that Amon was familiar with the classics.

Mary's move was clearly a hint that the king was going to send someone to examine Amun. If the Grand Warrior of Amun can pass this examination, he will have a very important appointment on the horizon, and he will serve as a general in the army. If this is the case, it also means that the war of the countries around Duk Town is about to begin.

And the actual situation is even more surprising than Amun's guess, Maria recommended Amun, not to make him an ordinary general, but the commander of a newly formed legion!

The Eju Empire already has three legions ready to go, and the names of the legions are customarily named after gods, including the Horus Legion and the Isis Legion, the most elite of the Empire, and the Sett Legion as an outpost has long been assembled in the city-states of the promontory on the border.

The leader of the Set's Legion is Rhodes Dick, the lord of the city-state of the Cape, and the chief priest of the legion is Julian, the rank 8 Great Magician. It is said that the commander of an emperor[***] regiment should be at least a great samurai, but Rod Dirk has an honorable position as the lord of the headland, and is more suitable to manage this legion.

The Set's legion was mainly responsible for the management of logistics and materials for the expedition, the supply of bases, and the transportation of grain and grass, and the required war materials had been hoarded to the front line of the headland through various channels some time ago, and the pharaoh sent a great warrior Peter Mochen from the royal capital as the commander of the front line.

The true elite of the Empire are the Horus Legion from the royal capital and the Isis Legion from the city of Meffil. The leader of the Isis Legion is the chief great warrior Long Teng of the Isis Temple, the main priest is the ninth-level great sorcerer Wald, and the commander of the front line is the great samurai dragon shadow.

And the chief priest of the Horus Legion is the High Priest of the Main Temple of Aejuhorus and the ninth-level Great Divine Wizard Li Quide, and the commander of the front is the Imperial General and the eighth-level Grand Samurai Van Blaze, and the commander of the legion is actually Pharaoh Eju!

An integrated army has 5,000 samurai and 50 priests, which is a combat force officially put into the battlefield, and the materials consumed every day are piled up, and if you add servants and people, there are at least 20,000 personnel who provide various logistics services around a legion.

Of course, these three legions are not all the military forces of the Eju Empire, but it is impossible to launch an expedition to destroy the power of the whole country, and this time it is already the strongest elite of the empire. The Pharaoh will personally march to the city of Dudes, and the city of Justis will also leave a legion to guard the northwest border of the empire, and the Holy Maiden will also be in the city of Memphas, where there is also a legion left behind.

If you want to directly capture the Hatti Kingdom, in fact, the most convenient route is to start from Monfilus City and land across the ocean along the Ronnie Kamigawa. However, the Pharaoh's purpose this time was to establish a strategic base in the area of the original Duk Town, so he chose to start from the city-state of the headland and attack by land through the desert. According to the plan drawn up by the Military Affairs Council, in addition to the above three main corps, another corps was needed to advance in tandem, that is, the newly formed miscellaneous army, called the "An-La Legion".

"An" and "La" are both the names of the same deity, the head of the nine heavenly gods worshiped by the Eju people, and is said to be the father of the gods born in the primordial lotus, and the oldest sun god. He is called "An" at night, "Ra" during the day, "Hepri" in the morning, "Atum" at night, and is generally called "Nunn" among the nine gods.

According to human understanding, although this god is the oldest and is known as the father of the gods, he is not the most important main god worshiped by the Eju Empire. In ancient mythology, the goddess Isis defeated Allah by stratagem, gaining the god's secrets and gaining greater power. Horus, the son of the goddess Isis, later became the king god of the Eju people and the most important of the nine gods, and legend has it that the ancient god An-la had retired to the source of the Roni River.

Interestingly, in Amun's long list of titles, the title "Allah" is also included, which can be understood to mean "night and day".

The An-La legion did not move in conjunction with the main army, but followed the flanks and rear along the northern coastline while the Pharaoh's army advanced. On the one hand, it serves as an echo of the flanks, and on the other hand, the main task is to prevent the army of the Hati Kingdom from landing and sneaking from the sea, cutting off the supply lines of the main army.

Such an army was strategically awkward, if the Pharaoh won a complete victory, it would not have made the most important achievements, if the Pharaoh was defeated and retreated, the An-La army would need to leave the coastline to outflank and advance desperately to defend the Pharaoh, and if the Hati kingdom did make a big detour from the coastline, the legion would be cannon fodder before the main counterattack.

But the most likely, this legion has always been responsible for the cover and vigilance along the coastline, and a large march of thousands of miles will not participate in the real decisive battle of the main force. As long as this task is completed, the commander of the legion can be regarded as a meritorious service to the empire, and the adults with prominent positions are naturally reluctant to take on this chore, so the holy woman sees the opportunity to recommend Amun.

But after all, this involves the appointment of a legion commander, and to put five thousand soldiers in the hands of Amun, the empire has to be cautious, so it organizes a special person to conduct an assessment. Amon lived alone in the courtyard for more than ten days, and was finally invited to the official office of the city of Montfilly, where he met with several high-ranking imperial ministers.

Seven people sit in a semicircle in a hall, with the Virgin Mary in the center. To the left of Mary is the Minister of War from the city of Ottodes, and to Essen's side is also the high priest Susgar from the main temple of the royal capital of Horus, and to the left of Susgar is Daya Tuyan, the lord of the city of Monfils. To the right of Mary are the three high priests of the temple of Isis, Wald, Burke, and George.

The Lords formed a temporary appraisal committee to decide whether or not to appoint Amon as the Commander of the Allah Legion.
