Ge Lie gently twisted his beard and said, "No matter who succeeds to the throne and who is in power in the Assyrian Empire, the first thing must be to maintain the stability of the empire and control the situation. The assassination of the emperor is a major event, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to provoke a mutiny, so in order to prevent civil strife, it is necessary to show strength to the outside world, and at the same time prevent people from taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack. It is inevitable to make arrangements for heavy troops, and whether this battle can be fought depends on the attitude of the Kingdom of Baron. ”

Prince Feng Nu nodded and said: "Once the news of Sinaher's assassination spreads, the people of the Kingdom of Baron will definitely be greatly boosted! Assyria's military expansion has reached its limit, and the large territory occupied behind the battle line needs to be consolidated.

But the common people and the soldiers felt differently, and Sinah's brutality was terrifying, and when he heard that he had wielded his army, sometimes before the battle could be engaged, the people of the city-state fled one after another, and the city-state garrison was also crushed. Now that the situation has changed, it is time to rally confidence and stabilize the defense line of the River Reese. I will send emissaries in the name of the king to express my condolences to the Assyrian Empire and to the Empress of Semir, not to provoke them for the time being, not to provoke a pretext for war. ”

Ge Lie nodded: "That's fine, since you have arranged it this way, our goal of assassinating Sinach has been achieved." I left the city-state of Syria as a guest in the city of Salem, but I went all the way to the city of Rees, and brought with me the high priest of the city-state of Syria, my student Wallette. It's not too long to leave, and we're going back. ”

The great magician was very simple, and after saying this, he got up and took his leave, and everyone walked out of the tent to send each other off. Before leaving, Ge Lie looked back at Feng Nu and Princess Xiaoqian meaningfully, and finally said: "I heard that Hammuraby II is very sick, no matter who inherits the throne of Baron, it is better to do it for themselves, the turmoil in the Tianshu Continent will not end here. ”

The crowd stood in the open space and watched as Goret and Wallette left on the shuttle, but Leo did not go with them, still standing behind Amon. Princess Xiaoqian suddenly asked: "Feng Nu, you said that you don't want to provoke the Assyrian Empire at the moment, but the assassin is Gil, everyone knows that he is the hero of the Barron Kingdom, and it is impossible for the Assyrian Empire not to track down the assassin and give an explanation to the subjects, how are you going to deal with it?"

Prince Feng Nun gritted his teeth and said: "This is not easy to do! Let's just say that Gil can't be found, no one knows his whereabouts, and in terms of diplomacy, let's go down the stairs to save face, is there anyone who really dares to go deep into the Barron Kingdom to find Jill? With a hero like Jill, the morale of the army and the people will be greatly boosted, and the Barron Kingdom is not really afraid of war." ”

Gilgamesh waved his hand and said: "If the Assyrian Empire really wants to track down the murderer, you tell them that the Kingdom of Baron will assist in the investigation, and let them send someone to find me, whether they can find it depends on luck! Goreol is gone, and I should go too. ”

Princess Xiaoqian pouted and said, "Jill, are you going to leave me alone again?"

Gilgamesh turned to look at her and said, "Whether I go alone or not depends on your decision Your Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Prince Feng Nu hurriedly interjected: "My aunt, His Majesty the King is seriously ill, and the kingdom is still waiting for you to return to preside over the overall situation. When the current turmoil is over, you and Jill will be able to appear in public and become heroes of the kingdom, and then ......"

Princess Xiaoqian interrupted him: "My nephew, after these things, everything in the court has nothing to do with me, I hope you can become a successful monarch in the future." After speaking, he walked to Gilgamesh's side and said to him, "Jill, take me with you." ”

Gilgamesh made a very dashing gesture of invitation: "My princess, please get in the car!"

Princess Xiaoqian said again: "Jill, please wait!"

She returned to the tent, picked up the flask and filled a cup, came out with the glass in both hands, walked up to Medanzo, bowed over the glass and said, "My hero, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you! Before leaving, please let Xiaoqian toast you with a glass of wine." ”

Medanzo couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, he took the wine glass and drank it all, waved his hand very chic and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I wish you and Jill a safe journey." ”

Gilgamesh drove away with Princess Akane in a carriage and soon disappeared into the distant mountains, and they have since become legends on the mainland, and people do not know where Gil and Akane went, but different stories are circulated in various places.

As they departed, Medanzo looked at the vanished carriage and then at the lonely white horse in the clearing, and seemed to say to himself, "No matter what I do, it's not him after all!"

A hand was placed on his shoulder, only to hear Amon smile and say, "Of course you are not him, you are yourself in this world in this life." But after all, you witnessed him and their stories, understand?"

Hearing this, Medanzo lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and he was in a trance for a moment. Amun's hand on his shoulder grabbed his arm, and said with a smile, "Do you understand?

What did Amun's words mean, when was the time? Medanzo's mana and cultivation accumulation were enough, and at this moment, he finally realized that endless state of mind, and he was about to usher in the test of breaking through the ninth-level achievement. Amon ordered Medanzo to rush back to the Garden of Eden immediately, not to re-enter the human world until he broke through the test, and asked Yunmeng and Leo to escort him.

Yunmeng asked, "God Amun, we are all gone, where are you going?"

Amun smiled and said to Prince Feng New: "I have been to Barron City, but I have not had the opportunity to climb the famous Tower of Babel on the continent.

Feng Nu was stunned, and immediately reacted that Amon was going to see Malduk, and it was said that if he climbed to the earthly palace of Malduk, the top of the Tower of Babel outside Barron, he could directly summon this god to appear. It's just a legend, and no one has ever dared to try it, but Amun, as a god, can go to Marduk. He bowed and replied, "Are you going to Barron? It is an honor for Vonneur to be with you!"

...... Amon went to Barron accompanied by Prince Vonniu, while General Robin remained on the west bank of the River Rees to lead the defense, and he was not only the commander of the Barron's legion, but also temporarily appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the defensive line. As for Vonneur himself, he could not stay at the front, because the king was seriously ill and he had to be ready to succeed at any time.

Princess Akane has given up the idea of competing for the throne and left with Gilgamesh, and no matter what Hammuraby II's will is, only Prince Vonneut can control the Barron throne.

Goreh's judgment was correct, and the day after Sinakh's assassination, the Assyrian Empire urgently mobilized a large army to rush to the border of the River Rees and confront the Barron army led by General Robin across the river, all on high alert. The two countries were at peace at the moment, and this movement of troops seemed unusual, and the haste with which the Assyrian army was disposed of was merely a façade.

On his way back to the city, Prince Vonniu had been following the news of the Assyrian Empire, and it was impossible for the Assyrian Empire not to announce such a big event as Sinakh's assassination. If it was revealed that Gilgamesh was an Assassin, Prince Vonniu was ready to deal with the Assyrian emissary. Three days later, news of Sinaher's assassination came as a proclamation from the regent Empress Semur, but the content surprised Vonneu slightly.

The invincible Assyrian Emperor Sinach is said to have been seriously wounded in a battle and is currently recuperating in the palace of the city-state of Reis. As for the "enemies" who fought him, the proclamations of the Assyrian Empire do not mention Gilgamesh, nor do they mention the likes of Goret and Medanzo, but only the name of a god - the god Amun.

Sinah was obviously punched away by Gilgamesh, and Amon didn't even touch him with a finger, so why did this hat fall on Amun's head? Semir naturally had her considerations when she announced this, no matter who she hated in her heart, starting from her current position, she must first maintain the stability of the situation in the Assyrian Empire, and not fall into chaos because of Sinah's assassination.

Judging from the Imperial Bulletin, there is no mention of how badly Sinach's injuries were, giving the impression that he could recover after treatment. To control the Assyrian Empire, it was also necessary to use Sinakh's prestige to preserve the Emperor's glory. The invincible Assyrian Emperor was wounded by the gods that his prestige and the prestige of the empire could not be damaged! Even if it was not Amun's work, it had to be Amun's.

The proclamation states that there was an earth-shattering battle between Sinach the Great and the god Amun, and although he was wounded, he severely wounded the god and was defeated and had to flee in disarray. There is a bit of truth here, Amon was indeed wounded, and escaped from the battlefield with his mana to the west bank of the River, but it was not Sinah's doing.

As for not mentioning Gore's name, there is another consideration. If it is openly stated but not investigated, what is the majesty of the Assyrian Empire? But if it is to be investigated, the status of Goreh in the Hati kingdom may also mean to provoke a dispute between the two countries, and the Assyrian Empire has no strength to attack Hati again. Although Sinach the Great had this plan, it was only a wish for the future.

Whoever assassinated Sinach would be a hero to whom all the people would praise and be truly grateful, with unimaginable glory. Now that all this glory belongs to Amon alone, even his disciple Medanzo has no share, I wonder what kind of wry smile Amon will show when he hears it?

But no one in the Assyrian Empire in Rees could laugh at the moment, only they knew how badly Sinach was wounded, not so much that he was alive as a walking corpse that could only breathe. The news came from the palace that although Emperor Sinach could not move or speak, he had not completely lost consciousness, and only the sage and the national teacher could communicate with His Majesty in his soul by miraculous means.

At present, Sinach is in the palace and is guarded by the sage and the national teacher sent by the priest to maintain his life by performing divine magic in turn.

One thing that the upper echelons of the empire are currently concerned about is who Sinach the Great will be, and whatever will he makes, it seems that only Faust can communicate it. Some people are also suspicious of one thing, Sinach the Great is actually not conscious, but what Faust says in this name will become the Emperor's order, and even a will can be fabricated. But suspicion is suspicion, and no one can question it openly, because the regent Empress Semir has a lot of trust in the sage national teacher.

Sinach was assassinated in the city of Thanduris, far outside of Assyria proper, and the Assyrian Empire was suddenly leaderless, when the sage master Faustus delivered a message from the emperor himself and asked Empress Semir to be regent. If nothing else, it will also be Semir who will control the empire in the future.

Whoever wanted to control the situation in the Assyrian Empire had to settle the forces on three sides. The first is the clique of priests representing the theocracy, and above all the support of Faust, the sage of the state, who fully supports Semir. The second is the military strength, and the army cannot be allowed to change at this time, so Semir immediately transferred the imperial heavy troops to the city-state of Rees, and controlled the military power in the name of preventing the counterattack of the Kingdom of Baron.

The third-party forces are the bureaucratic and aristocratic clique of the empire, and no matter who they support, their first choice is to safeguard their own interests, and they choose to take sides when they see the limelight, and most of the speculators are also looking at the attitude of the clerical clique and the military. As long as Sinach survives, the Regency of Sémir will not be unimpeded. But everyone is concerned about the same thing, will Sinach die and when?

In the middle of the night, there were two people in the palace who were secretly confiding, Faust and Samir. Semir sat in the center of the inner sanctum, where Faust had a seat, but he had been standing and bowing slightly.

I only heard Semir ask, "How long can you keep Your Majesty alive?"

Faust replied, "If the priest takes turns to take care of him with all his might, there will be no problem for half a year, and I can even let him live forever." After thinking about it, he cautiously added: "It is impossible for Your Majesty to wake up, he can die at any time." It's up to you to decide when he will die. ”

Semir's expression was a little sad: "His life no longer belongs to himself, but has symbolic meaning for others." He must stay alive for now until the situation stabilizes. He pursued the merits of the Megatron Continent all his life, making the world tremble under his horse's hooves. He did it, but he didn't expect it to be like this, right?"

The mighty Assyrian Emperor Sinakh, at the moment when his achievements and prestige in the world reached its peak, but he ended up with a situation where he could not survive and die, if this emperor was still conscious, I don't know what he would think?

Faust looked at Empress Semir and cautiously reminded: "Whether the situation in the empire can stabilize depends on what we do, everyone is speculating about your attitude, guessing what kind of national policy you will adopt after taking power, have you considered it?"

Semir's eyes seemed to look into the distant void and asked, "The reason why we stopped Sinakh's atrocities is that we don't want to see the catastrophe brought about by his brutality, which contains a deeper fear than pity for the innocent." Sage National Teacher, do you know what this fear is?"

There was a faint tingling sensation in Faust's soul, which was the mark left by Satan that was inadvertently touched again, making him feel inexplicably **burned, but he lowered his head and replied: "I want to hear it." ”

Semir continued: "We were afraid of ourselves, of being afraid that we would have to wield our knives and guns like this forever until we collapsed from exhaustion. They are also afraid to suffer the same fate in the future, to accept the same fate as those who were brutally slaughtered. Wherever the iron hoof of Assyria passed, there was as much hatred as there was pain.

In history, no empire on the continent has been able to remain absolutely invincible forever, and when Assyria was weak, although it suffered a lot in a corner of peace, it was not brutally slaughtered. When it is strong, it has corpses all over it, and if the cycle of history brings Assyria back to its former times, can it still exist as it did back then?

I saw fear, deep down in Sinakh's heart, he might not have been aware of it, but it must have been intense at the moment. This fear was also ingrained in the souls of all the Assyrian conquerors, even though they were reluctant to touch it. They fear that one day, they will be trampled and slaughtered by iron hooves like the people they once conquered. ”

Faust shuddered, but the burning sensation in his soul was even stronger, and Satan's words echoed in his mind: "Man's faith has always been the master of his own heart, and I just let you examine your heart." Please release your desire and tell yourself how to achieve it. Then he coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you a story - there is a world where there are two families, one family is prosperous and rich, and the other family is weak and poor. They were far away, and at last one day they met, and the poor and weak were very envious of the prosperous. Then one day the prosperous family fell ill, and another family burst into their house, snatched the wealth, and slaughtered their wives and children.

Since then there has been a deep fear in this world, and the slayer is afraid that the other family will recover from the disease, that he will become strong again. Because then it means that one's sins will be liquidated, one's wealth will be plundered, and one's family will be slaughtered. That's what he used to do, and he didn't dare to repent and couldn't repent.

He will not and cannot truly confess his sins, return the wealth he has stolen, cannot atone for his sins by deeds, and can only consolidate his own power and try to weaken the other party forever and occupy everything he has gained. Every time he recovered from his illness, he would think about another slaughter and looting. The idea is simple – because you are weak, you have to bear, and because you are recovering, you are a threat to me. ”

Faust is only halfway to the story, when Sémir interrupts him: "You are talking about two families, and if the other family accepts this idea, and if there are many other families in the world who think the same way, then there is no hope for the world to flourish." Perhaps the pinnacle of prosperity is the end of the world, and what should be used to describe that day, the end?"
