205, the gods of the fallen altar

There was a scuffle on the Duc Plain, and Rod Dick knew that Xiou and the others were transporting strategic supplies to Salem City through the headland border in the name of trade, and he turned a blind eye. Gabrietto inquired about Amon's news, and he was really concerned, but it was a pity that the well-informed city lord had not gotten a trace of news for more than half a year, and Amon seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Rod Dick also traditionally went to the temple to pray, and led the people in sacrificial ceremonies during the various city-state ceremonies. But the most important prayer in his heart was only one thing, and that was that the war in the plains of Duk should not spread to Eju, otherwise it would be the city-states of the headlands that would bear the brunt of the pressure of war. He also hoped that the city-state of Salem would be able to gain a firm foothold, that Amun would be safe and sound, and that he would be willing to provide help as much as he could in private.

Rod Dick had been asking for news of Amon for so long but to no avail, but he never expected that Amon would take the initiative to appear openly in the city-state of the headland. When he saw Amun, he fell out of the carriage in astonishment, and turned back not only to order the whole city-state to be arrested, but also to write to Pharaoh Eju.

...... The temples of the city-states of the Eju Empire held sacrifices twice a month, and the people of the city-states could come to the temples at that time. There are also three ceremonies a year, which correspond to the most important festivals in the city-state. It happened to be a festival of sacrifices to the god A-la and a carnival for the citizens.

On this day, the officials of all departments had a holiday to rest, and the people put on new clothes and walked around the streets and alleys, which was rare to have such a leisure and enjoyment. After noon, everyone gathered in the temple square to talk and laugh, and many small merchants and vendors also carried their burdens and pushed carts around the square.

The city lord's carriage came, and Rod Dick was about to step down with the curtain raised, while the great magician Yi Bin led the priests to line up on the long steps, and the atmosphere was cheerful and peaceful. The heavy temple door was open at this time, and the image of the main shrine could be seen from the front of the square.

No one expected that at this moment, a figure suddenly flew out of the crowd, shot straight into the main temple like a shock, swung a sword with a golden arc of light and slashed at the idol of An-la Statue Punset, and then smashed the solid stone roof of the main temple into a large hole and flew away.

Tens of thousands of people exclaimed in unison, and then they were silent, all staring at them with their eyes wide open and their mouths open. Yi Bin, who was about to come over to greet Rod Dick, let out a startled shout, and chased after him with a wave of his staff. However, as soon as Yi Bin flew above the temple, another figure flew obliquely, the sharp axe in his hand was like a silver phantom, and an arc-shaped void blade spread out in the air and slashed towards Yi Bin.

Yi Bin was so frightened that his soul almost flew, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and with a turn in the air, he actually got into the big hole in the roof of the main temple, and applied a thick layer of qi element armor. The second person who suddenly flew out swung an axe to force Yi Bin back, and then flew away.

Then they heard a strange sound coming from the temple, clicking, clicking, At this time, the guards on duty had already chased in the direction of the troublemaker's escape, and the priests rushed into the main hall to see Yi Bin's situation.

This happened to Rod Dick just as he was about to get out of the car, when he looked up at the sky and fell on his heel. The lord of the city fell down when he got out of the car, and the guards who were supposed to support him also turned their heads to look at the sky, but they didn't hold on! Rod Dick didn't care about this, and got up and quickly ordered martial law to arrest the assassins throughout the city-state.

The Lord of Dick referred to the two men as "Assassins", but they did not assassinate anyone, and if they did, it was only the idol that assassinated Seth. The first "Assassin" rushed into the temple and swung his sword without stopping at all, then crashed through the roof and left. When the priests rushed into the temple, they saw Lord Yi Bin standing on the ground looking at the statue of Seth with a shocked expression.

The tall and sturdy stone statue, a crack slowly appeared in the center of the eyebrows, and then the crack spread more and more, and there was a crisp clatter sound in the temple, and the statue of Seth was full of cracks and gradually became like a spider's web, and then collapsed, shattering all over the ground.

Rod Dick ordered the arrest of the "Assassins," but who was the Assassin? I don't know! What did it look like? No one could see it clearly! How could this be caught, there was no way to find it! But Rod Dick had to make such a gesture, and the El La Legion and the city-state garrison urgently dispatched to search for suspicious people in various parts of the territory day and night.

This matter is quite serious, when the city-state sacrifice ceremony is held, the military and political dignitaries are present, and in front of everyone's eyes, people actually smash the statue of the archangel with a sword! If it is investigated, everyone including Rod Dick and Yi Bin is guilty. Knowing that he could not catch the "assassin", Rod Dick must also do his best to hunt him down, and at the same time, he has already written a letter of guilt and is preparing to send someone to the royal capital of Eju along with a detailed report of the incident.

Rod Dick had a hard time, but he knew who those two were. The first to rush into the temple and swing his sword was Amun, and although no one could see his face clearly, the shape and momentum of Rhodes Dick were all too familiar, even if they were just a glance at it. The second one to repel Yi Bin with an axe in the air was of course Gabriel, it seems that the great warrior has found Amun, and followed Amon to do such a ridiculous thing, but let Rod Dick suffer unjustified disasters.

After the confession was written, Rod Dick called his henchmen again and privately told him who he should greet and what kind of heavy gifts he should give in the royal capital, so as to help him speak and be accommodating. If this matter is considered unlucky, the pharaoh will definitely order a reprimand, and the reprimand will be reprimanded, as long as there is no real punishment. Before he could finish speaking, he heard another piece of news that made Rod Dick breathe a big sigh of relief.

It turned out that three days after the statue of the god Seth in the main temple of the city-state of the headland was smashed by a sword, the same thing happened to the city-state of Tanis, which was closest to the city-state of the headland. There was no sacrificial ceremony in the city of Tanis that day, and everything was peaceful, but suddenly someone flew in the air and knocked a large hole in the roof of the main temple, and slashed at the idol of Seth and then flew away from the big hole, and no one reacted, and the priests watched as the idol cracked and collapsed.

When the lord of Tanis received the urgent report, he had just finished eating and was going downstairs when he rolled down the stairs with a weak foot and broke an arm. The guards standing beside him were severely punished, how could they not hold on to the lord of the city?

Lord Tanis was not as calm as Rod Dick, probably scared enough. And Rod Dick was relieved, although he didn't know why Amon and Gabriel did that, but he also understood what they were doing, and he didn't mean to make trouble for the city-state of the headland. There will certainly be a reprimand from the Pharaoh, but there will be no substantive punishment, and maybe a few words of relief in private.

Rod Dick quietly let his men go to the royal capital as originally planned, and there were also a lot of gifts and pleas, while keeping a close eye on the movements of the other city-states. As the shrewd lord had expected, seven days later, the same thing happened in the city-state of Buhiri, west of the city of Tanis, and half a month later, the "assassin" broke into the main temple of the city-state of Burgas south of Tanis, and slashed the idol of the archangel of Seth with a single sword.

In the following month or so, the city-states of Atri, Rokai, and Helio on the east bank of the Ronnie River took place one after another earth-shattering "big events". The content is the same, but the time and place are different, there is a crazy "assassin" who coldly rushes into the temple of the city-state lord, and does nothing else, just slashes at the idol of the archangel Seth, and then flies into the sky.

When he was in the city-states of the headland, Gabriel also appeared with Amon, but when these city-states had an accident later, Gabriel did not appear at all.

This man must be crazy, a madman among madmen, doing such a crazy act beyond the imagination of the world! But he is so powerful, so powerful that it is terrifying! People are talking about him as a mad great magician, and at least an eighth-level magician, because he can fly, and the power of the sword in his hand has a dazzling and shocking magic effect. As for what kind of magic it is, ordinary people don't know either.

What kind of strange and terrifying existence was the great magician who wielded a sword instead of a staff, and what a solemn and noble place the temple was, and the man rushed into it like a scoundrel kicking the door in search of revenge. It's not like saying he's an outlaw, this man didn't hurt anyone, he just went after the idol of Seth. It is not known how many statues of the god Seth, large and small, are in the Egü Gyü, but this man is looking for the one in the temple of the lord of the city-states.

In the past two months, that man has smashed the statues of the god Seth in the main temples of the seven city-states east of the Lower Egiloni River, and the impact and shock of this incident are too great, and the entire Eju Empire is about to fall into turmoil. The garrisons from all over the country have been dispatched, and the Aiju Divine Art Academy and the Emperor's [***] Department have also sent a large number of masters to chase after them.

As for the other city-states that the Assassins had not yet visited, they were all in full force, guarding their respective main temples impenetrably, and this "blasphemous demon" must not be allowed to succeed again. Amun's name has now risen from "Assassin" to "Demon of Blasphemy", and his purpose is not to fight the army, but to destroy an immovable idol that has been left there, and to leave without any delay, and at any time in which city-state.

The city-states of Eju can't take the idol of Seth out of the main temple and dig a pit to bury it, right? In fact, when Amon destroyed the statues of Seth in the four city-states, the nearby city-states were already on guard, but he still succeeded. Those small city-states in the hinterland of Eju that were not strategically located could not have too many masters, and even if a group of priests and warriors were sent to guard the gate of the temple, they might not be able to stop Amun's sudden attack.

The city-state of Helio also specially gathered all the magicians to set up a magic array in the temple, but the magicians could not set up a guard at night, and there was no movement after a month, when everyone relaxed, Amon suddenly hit the gate one morning and rushed into the temple, and before the priests could run the magic array, Amon had already left with a sword swing.

So far, no one has seen the face of this madman, although Rod Dick knows but has not said anything to anyone, and everyone does not know that the "blasphemous demon" is Amon. Later, all kinds of rumors spread like a plague in the Eju Empire, and some people even talked about it, that man was not a demon, but a god who had a grudge against Seth!

Of course, there are many masters in the Eju Empire, and the Eju Academy of Divine Arts also sent special personnel to various city-states to inspect the statues of gods that were cut down by demons, and several elders of the Academy of Divine Arts have seen the remains of the statues, and listened to the people present describe the scene in detail at that time, and they all agree that that person is at least an eighth-level great warrior, or even a ninth-level great warrior.

A great samurai who can fly freely is astounding! In the traditional view, this is the divine power possessed only by gods or messengers of gods. A powerful warrior can rush into the temple and smash the idol like the demon, or break through the roof and run away, but it is impossible to fly straight into the sky without a trace in an instant.

The messengers of the gods are usually called gods in the human world, such as the cat god Best, the frog god Hequett, the crocodile god Sobek and others, and there are a total of ten gods in the nine-link god system, including Horus, and the rest of the gods are regarded as the messengers of the gods. Now that the Eju Empire believes in An-la as the only god, the rest of the gods and messengers are called angels, and Seth is the chief of all angels.

If you are facing such an "angel", then the situation is even more serious!

There are a few great magicians who privately discuss that this may be the revenge of the former imperial god Horus. One of the patriarchs of the Aegus Academy, the high priest of the former Temple of Isis and now the Temple of Seth, Burke, inspected the two destroyed idols and reported to Pharaoh Elahert that the method of destroying the idols resembled the skills of the miners in Duk Town, so he guessed that the person was probably Amun.

Burke was right, and his guesses were well-founded. Because after the great general Amun left Eju, he was worshipped as the god Amun in the city of Salem on the plain of Duk, perhaps he really had the means of the gods.

Could it be that Amon is really a god who came to the human world, or is it a messenger sent to the human world by a certain god lineage, otherwise how could a small miner in Duke Town miraculously establish the feat of Megatron Continent? Everyone who saw Burke's secret report couldn't help but think so, but no one could say it publicly.

Although Amon has been away from Eju for a year, the prestige of this great imperial general has not diminished, and he is admired and admired by many people, and the psalms in praise of him are still sung everywhere. Pharaoh Eju sent people to hunt down Amon, there was no open secret order, on the surface, General Amon did not violate any Eju edicts, as for the killing of Prince Snake was not done later, no one in the court was willing to mention his name, but Amon's influence among the people was getting bigger and bigger.

As far as the matter is concerned, Amun simply went to the territory of the Duc Plain, which was also his hometown, and was publicly ordered to be rewarded to Amon by the late Pharaoh Lassis II. Therefore, the general's behavior was not to defect, but to return to his hometown with the pharaoh's reward after his achievements to establish the city-state of his dreams. On his way back to his hometown, Amon also defeated the great sorcerer Celia of Hati, the beautiful and invincible princess, thus gaining the support of the Hati kingdom for his city-state.

This is how the story of Amon is passed down among the people, and it is also a fact that Amon's reputation has not diminished in the hearts of the people of Egypt, but his legendary story has attracted more people to yearn for and revere him, and his influence has even surpassed that of any famous hero in history.

Amun was worshipped as a god in the city of Salem, and when many people heard about it, they worshipped him even more from the bottom of their hearts. - If the gods really came to the world and experienced everything as mortals, then it should be like Amun, who is the god of people's dreams.

Many people may not have expected why Amon has such a big impact, but it makes sense to think about it carefully. In this hierarchical society, Amon's experience has broken through too many shackles and obstacles, and it is the dream of most ordinary people.

He was just the son of a lowly miner in Duke Town, and when he was a teenager, his home was destroyed and wandered around, but he established the Megatron Continent for meritorious deeds, and established a miraculous city-state in his hometown, and was eventually worshipped as a god by the people. His story is more inspiring than the deeds of any exalted emperor.

Many people worship Amun, and to put it bluntly, it is also out of a psychology of self-substitution and compensation. Most people in the world could not have a noble birth, but Amon was once like them. Even if you can't do what you can't do, you can dream, and the achievements Amon has achieved seem to be like your own achievements in your dreams.

Elahet Pharaoh and a handful of the Empire's top brass would not be able to speak out openly even if they agreed with Burke's speculation. If the Eju Empire really caught the blasphemous "demon" and found out that he was Amon, it would not declare him to be Amon, but would give him another name or the title of a demon.

But it's not easy to catch the "demon", even if he is not an "angel", a ninth-level great warrior left without a single blow, and it took more than two months just to destroy the seven god statues, and if he couldn't find out his exact whereabouts, he couldn't talk about mobilizing masters to pursue him.

After the seven city-states had accidents one after another, the erratic whereabouts of the "demon" finally became clear, and all the seven city-states east of the Ronnie Kamigawa in the lower Eju region had accidents. Judging from the route he passed, it should be from the city-state of Cape to the territory of Eju, from east to west and then south, and the next step should be to cross the Ronnie Kamigawa to reach the city of Memfil.

People who already knew or guessed that the "demon" was Amun, such as Rod Dick, knew more or less what was going on. - Amun is avenging the Holy Maiden Mary by destroying the statues of the goddess Seth in the temples of the city-states of Eju one by one, and openly challenging and humiliating the archangel in front of the world.
