Li Kuide thought for a while and said: "There are currently more than 200 priests in the whole army, basically all of them are middle-level magicians, and they can send thirty groups of ninety people to the city wall, and each group must be protected by a samurai team. ”

Rod Dick smiled bitterly, "How can there be so many high-level scrolls available? Even if I empty the inventory of the Cape Temple, you can send up to twenty-five groups of magicians." In this case, the attack and defense scrolls can still be combined, but if each set of scrolls must have a space lock effect, I am afraid that most of this one will be intermediate scrolls. ”

Amon nodded and said, "Then so be it, send twenty-five groups of seventy-five magicians with scrolls to the city wall, if Enqidu leads the charging team to break through the defense, use the scroll to stop his first wave of impact, and the surrounding defenders quickly converge." Even if he didn't, Gilgamesh would launch a full-scale siege of the city, and if the scrolls were all of a sudden, it would be enough to inflict heavy damage on his besieging forces. ”

Long Teng patted Rod Dick on the shoulder: "Lord City Lord is really far-sighted, the scroll has never been the distribution equipment of the continent's legions, but you have hoarded such a batch, and it will come in handy today." ”

Next, they discussed the deployment of the battle line, and Amon pointed to the sand table and said: "After all, the town of Red Cape is too small, and if the army is crowded in the city, the cavalry and chariots will not be able to play a role at all. Once the enemy breaks through, the city will trample on each other and suffer heavy losses, and many people can be killed with a single stone. Two legion commanders, how do you think we should deploy the defense?"

The two corps commanders, Long Teng and Blaze, listened to the tone of the commander-in-chief, and then looked at the situation on the battle front, and took the initiative to ask for orders to go out of the city to set up defenses. Amon divided the chariot and heavy cavalry into two divisions, handed them over to the two army commanders to lead respectively, and set up a large camp behind the defensive line on both sides of Red Cape Town, echoing Red Cape Town.

Amun also ordered the erection of hard crossbows and artillery carts on the city wall to carry out a special defense drill, and the arrangement was almost complete, so that the two great magicians gathered the priests to set up a formation and perform healing and blessing magic for themselves, Gabriel, and Medanzo. That night, Amon sat in the hall, countless soft rays of light fell on his body, and the tearing pain inside and outside his body and the soreness in the deep bone marrow gradually subsided.

Amun, in a deep meditation state, somehow saw Mary again, the tears of the gods on her staff radiating gold. Her blessing of Isis was the most tender soothing in Amun's heart.

...... On the same night, in the camp of the Uruk Legion, in the largest and wider tent of animal skins, there were also more than a dozen magicians forming a magic array, and Gilgamesh sat opposite Enqidu, holding a staff and performing blessing and healing magic spells. All kinds of light fell on Enqidu's body, and his burly figure seemed to shine like a god.

The golden gloves had been taken off, and the one in his right hand had cracked a gap, and Gilgamesh sighed as he watched: "This glove is difficult to repair, but fortunately I made two pairs, you can replace one more." There aren't many broken parts of the snake scale armor, and it can be repaired in ten days, and you can continue to wear it to battle. ”

Enqidu didn't close his eyes and meditate, holding a huge wine glass and said: "Without this armor and fist gloves, I killed Hong Baba the same, so I don't need to do it at all!"

Gilgamesh shook his head lightly and said, "If you have a strong armor weapon, why don't you use it?" I can see clearly the power of your three fists today, if you carry the giant shield and broadsword that you usually use, although it is powerful, it is not so flexible and fast. ”

Enqidu said hatefully: "I didn't win a big victory today because I didn't complete the plan arranged in advance, and I didn't kill Coach Eju with the third punch." I really didn't expect that Amon to be so difficult to fight, this time it is his fate to escape from my hands, and next time there will be no such good luck!"

When Gilgamesh thinks about it, he always squints his slender eyes: "You and I are not the only strong people on the continent, that Amun thought that he was just a wandering magician, but he walked all the way with the goddess, and his origin was not simple. Now that he has become the commander-in-chief of the battlefield of Eju, he must have his superiority, and today's last move suddenly buried you under the stone mountain, even I was shocked!"

Enqidu said angrily: "The first time I saw him, he was with the goddess, and the second time I saw him, he actually hurt me!"

Gilgamesh smiled and persuaded, "There are many good women in the world, why should you like such a goddess? Amon hurt you today, but you want to kill him first, and then you don't have to be angry. The battle between the two armies is not a fighting spirit, and we must be careful when we meet this person again, and we must not give him a chance to use the means. ”

Enqi said with some doubts: "Isn't he a great samurai? Why was he once a magician? What kind of trick is his move today?"

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes again: "The very simple method is to fill a space magic weapon with stones, and suddenly pile it all up. This person is indeed a great warrior, and after the second awakening of power, he has reached the peak of his mastery of divine achievement, and he can even use space magic weapons. ”

Enqi frowned: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Gilgamesh said lightly: "Have you ever heard of a magician like me before? Since ancient times, there have been so many geniuses on the continent, and at the same time they have perseverance, adventure, and luck, and it is not surprising that there are amazing. Some secret gods know that mortals can also explore, and he may just be a lucky one who happens to have unique achievements. ”

Enqidu said in a deep voice: "I understand your temper, if the situation is different, you like to make friends with this kind of person." But now, I have to kill him!"

Gilgamesh reached out and patted Enqidu on the shoulder: "We all want to kill him, but in the next battle, you must first avoid Amun's position, focus on the weak point of the city wall, and mention another thing." ”

Enqidu took a big sip of wine, put down the glass and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gilgamesh replied: "Scrolls! Nero, who used to be the best scroll-making master on the continent, has been the chief priest of the city-state of the cape for more than forty years, and I heard that the two Dick city lords of father and son have deliberately kept the offensive and defensive scrolls made by Nero, and I am afraid that there are quite a few of them. If you throw it all, it will cause us a lot of losses. I guess Amon will also use them for self-defense, so you have to be careful not to suffer this loss. ”

Enqidu snorted coldly: "The scrolls emitted are nothing more than all kinds of magic techniques, how could I have been afraid? Not to mention that even if there is a scroll, there must be a chance to use it!"

Gilgamesh: "If you fight alone, I'm sure no magician will have a chance to unfold the scroll in front of you, but this is a melee of large armies, and it's not clear who will use it suddenly, so be careful." ”

Enqidu: "Even if there is a batch of high-level scrolls, will I stand there stupidly and let them attack? Besides, the city wall is so long, how many magicians can they send to battle with the scrolls? Even if they do this, how many magicians with a few scrolls in each section of the city wall want to kill me? Lord Castle Lord, don't you still trust me?"

Gilgamesh laughed and said, "My brother, I trust you as I trust myself! ”

...... Enqidu's fist gloves were cracked, and the snake scale armor was slightly damaged. But the scorpion shell armor Amon wore had been shattered after the fierce battle, and it was almost impossible to repair. Repairing such an armor is not as simple as replacing the broken scorpion shell, but also refining it again with divine magic.

Fortunately, the scorpion shell armor worn by Medanzo was not seriously damaged, and Amon dismantled his armor, replaced the complete scorpion shell with another piece of armor, and repaired it in a few days, and finally could still wear it on the battlefield. This is the best armor in his hand, not only can resist swords and spears, but also has an excellent magic defense effect, in the face of a terrifying opponent like Enqidu, it is still important to save his life, and all preparations must be made.

Amon naturally wanted to stall for time and wait for the Gabe's army to arrive, and if Gilgamesh did not attack, he would not move, and had been patrolling the line for the past few days. On this day, he climbed the city wall with the great magician Li Quaid, focusing on checking the arming positions of the magician group holding the scrolls, chatting as they walked.

Li Quaid mentioned the legend of Enqidu, the first warrior in the mainland, which aroused Amon's strong interest, and the great magician obviously knew a lot of inside information, and there were some things that Amon had never heard of before.

Enkidu was not the commander of the Uruk Legion, nor the commander of the front line, nor the general of any army, his position was the same as that of Medanzo, he was only the captain of Gilgamesh's personal guard, but his status was no less than that of any warrior on the continent.

As a sorcerer, Gilgamesh was able to shoot an earth-shattering arrow on the battlefield that day, not only because of his superb magical achievements, but also because he was born with divine powers. Enqidu was a wandering mountain hunter when he was a child, and some people also say that he was a plateau giant, and he was also born with divine power, and his strength was infinite since he was a child. He hunted wild beasts empty-handed in the mountains and wilderness, had a short temper, and never lost a fight with a man.

Gilgamesh was a wild safari when he was a teenager, and he met Enkidu in the mountains, when they were still teenagers. It is said that Enqidu was defeated only once in his life, that is, when he was a child, he was beaten down by Gilgamesh and beaten up to obedience, and later the two became good friends. There is also a legend that these two children were more wrestling, and they fought for a long time without winning or losing, and they admired each other very much.

Gilgamesh, the son of the lord of the city, brought the wandering Enqidu back to the city-state of Uruk, and sent a maid to take care of him, teaching him to eat and dress like a nobleman, learn various manners, and ask a teacher to teach him to read and write. But Enqi is a natural samurai, and he is not interested in reading at all, but loves to learn martial arts.

Some people say that he became a great warrior at the age of sixteen, and some claims are even more exaggerated, it is rumored that Enqidu defeated a great warrior in the city-state of Uruk at the age of fourteen, in short, he became a great warrior at a younger age than Amon! And the age at which he became a ninth-level samurai is very clear, he is twenty-one years old! Enqidu is four years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, and Gilgamesh is two years younger than him, in what year did he become a ninth-level great magician, no one knows, they are all rare talents in the Tianshu Continent.

After saying this, Li Kuide looked at Amon and said: "After watching the battle scene a few days ago, I have a feeling that Enqidu seems to want to target you, the commander-in-chief, so be careful on the battlefield." I still have a question, if it's convenient, can the commander-in-chief tell me privately?"

Amon hurriedly said, "Thank you for the reminder! Venerable Imperial High Priest, if you have something to say, just ask." ”

Li Kuide smiled: "You used a magical space magic weapon, filled with boulders, and suddenly fell down, almost killing Enqidu. This hand stunned me, how did you do that?"

Amon also smiled: "Although the space magic weapon is precious, it is not unusual for me to have one or two, and the scrolls left by Nero are strange, and some of them are probably just confirming their own ideas, not for practical use." There is a kind of scroll that can make people indulge in the operation of the magic space, and I really admire the whimsy of this master. ”

Li Quaid sighed and said, "I almost forgot, you also have Nero's relics in your hands, and the many scrolls made by this master are indeed interesting. You are a great warrior, and you have successfully awakened your power for the second time, if you are willing to work hard to cultivate your mana to the extreme, it is not impossible to use space magic weapons. It's just that in that case, I'm afraid that it will delay the cultivation of physical arts, and people's energy is limited after all. ”

Amon smiled humbly and said, "I will definitely remember your words." ”

...... After a great battle, Amon did not move, allowing Gilgamesh to calmly prepare for the siege. The pharaoh in the rear received the news of the battle and the death of Julian's great magician, and sent messengers to the town of Red Cape to reward the army and encourage the soldiers to fight bravely. The messenger also conveyed Pharaoh's message, asking Amon and the generals when they would attack and repel the Uruk legions.

Although the intention of sending the envoy was to encourage and reward the army, asking such a question also implied that Pharaoh was slightly dissatisfied with the fighting at the front. The envoy also mentioned that Pharaoh, when he consulted with his courtiers, said that he wanted to supervise the battle at the front and see with his own eyes how the army of Eju repelled what was said to be the strongest army on the continent.

If Pharaoh went to the front in person, it would naturally boost morale, but Amun preferred that he not come. Not only did Pharaoh have to devote his energies to dealing with and protecting him, but it was also troublesome for Pharaoh to intervene in commanding and mobilizing the army. Amon gave the messenger the video information of Enqi charging into battle recorded by the battlefield priest, and told the messenger to show the pharaoh with his own eyes.

I don't know how Pharaoh felt after seeing the video recorded by the magic, but in short, he did not mention the matter of personally going to the front line to supervise the battle, and sent messengers to reward the three great warriors, Amun, Gabriel, and Medanzo, telling them to hold the line firmly and not act rashly until the Gabe's army arrived.

...... Ten days after the Uruk siege, the Gab's legions were still three days away from Red Headland, and Gilgamesh didn't give Amon time to wait.

Early in the morning, there was a move by the battalion of scouts who reported back to the Uruk Legion. Soon after the sun rose, the army of black oppression had already arrived outside the town of Red Headland. In the siege battle, although the defending side has a defensive advantage, the attacking side also has an advantage to take advantage of.

The Uruk Legion untied the horses from the chariots, loaded them with sacks of sand and gravel, and lined them up at the front of the battle line, not only to fend off the arrows, but also to push the chariots close to the walls in an attempt to fill in a ramp that could be charged. Behind the chariots laden with sand and gravel were a row of modified chariots, on which wooden towers were erected with wooden stakes, on which they could shoot at the Eju soldiers on the city walls.

In addition to this, the Uruk army also erected a high platform out of felled giant logs, the top of which was twice as high as the city wall. Gilgamesh did not fly in the air with his magic skills, but still stuck a large purple umbrella in the center of the high platform, and sat upright on a chair by himself, with Enqidu standing beside him.

Amon saw Enqidu from a distance on the city tower, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, in the fierce battle ten days ago, this great warrior could not be unharmed, but today on the battlefield he looked energetic, and the aura exuded from his body was completely at its peak, even more terrifying than ten days ago.

Under the healing and blessing of the divine magic array presided over by the two ninth-level great magicians, Amon had just recovered a few days ago, and Gabriel and Medanzo were not able to go to the battlefield today! The two great warriors were either injured or sick, or their strength was extremely depleted, and they were unable to fight at present. Amon was able to recover so quickly, he was already beaten with iron, and Enqidu looked even stronger than the iron.

Amun saw Gilgamesh's battle formation spreading, stood on the tower of the city and said loudly: "Soldiers of the Uruk Legion, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to a foreign land to die? Hurry back to your relatives in your hometown and continue to live and work in peace and contentment!"

Gilgamesh laughed on the high platform and said, "Amon, are you not a general but a speaker? When the soldiers are approaching the city, you want to win with your tongue? If I don't withdraw my troops, will you have to surrender?"

With that, he stood up from his chair and shot his bow and arrow straight at Amun. This time it was not a cold arrow, everyone in front of the two armies could see it clearly, and there was a roar like the roar of thousands of bison in the wilderness. Amon didn't shoot back with an arrow, and a huge light curtain suddenly appeared on the city tower, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up in front of the light curtain, and the air in the smoke condensed into invisible armor.

Gilgamesh's arrow sent smoke and dust and a curtain of light that trembled, but it didn't hit Amun. This time it was a battle to defend the city, in addition to the seventy-five magicians sent to the city wall, there were hundreds of magicians behind the city tower, and they formed a protective array, and there was a ninth-level great magician main array, which was already ready to go. Although Gilgamesh's arrow was powerful, it was impossible to directly hurt Amon at such a distance, and the divine defense of the front tower was the most stable.
