130, the power of the gods
Amon also noticed the reaction of Gilgamesh and Enkidu in the distance, and was in surprise, when Gilgamesh suddenly waved his hand and gave an order, and the priests of the Uruk Legion gathered around the high platform and raised their staffs, a huge light shield rose to protect the high platform, and Gilgamesh's flat staff closed his eyes.
The figure of a "god" appeared in the sky above the battlefield, with a naked and toned body covered in a hazy colorful light, and his figure was taller than the castle tower of Red Cape Town, but it was the face of Gilgamesh. This is also a kind of miraculous manifestation, Gilgamesh has transformed into a "god form" in the air, which is not an illusion, but a form condensed by the consciousness of abstract existence after transcending the constraints of the body.
Legend has it that only gods can perform incredible miracles, but Gilgamesh has done it. In the last battle, he had shown his god like this, but at that time Amun was fighting with Enqidu and did not see it. Witnessing it with his own eyes at this moment, he couldn't help but be a little dizzy, he was a great magician and a great warrior, and unlike other magicians or samurai, Amon had always aimed to find a way to become a god, so he felt different.
The form that Gilgamesh exhibits is a real, pure self-consciousness condensed in long-term divine meditation. Cultivating to this realm, I am afraid that what is awakened is not only the power given by the so-called gods, but also another free existence after the body and mind are freed from the shackles, possessing the mana cultivated in this life, which is close to the abstract eternity.
Amon remembered what the old madman had said, the ninth-level achievement can have the power to fight against the gods, and even be called demigods, and some of the so-called gods who appear in the world are likely to be just demigods.
Seeing Gilgamesh, Amon understood one thing, not all ninth-level achievers can be called demigods, and there should be two possibilities if they want to appear as gods. The first is the achievement of having the power of one and two sides, and the secret of becoming a ninth-level sorcerer and a ninth-level samurai at the same time, and finally becoming a god. The second possibility is to cultivate to the pinnacle of the realm, touching the end of human achievement, just like Gilgamesh and Enqidu in front of you.
Gilgamesh is so arrogant that he doesn't even care about the gods, he does have the capital of arrogance. If one sees this miracle in the sky without knowing who he is, who would dare to assert that it is not a god?
Amon was thinking about it when Gilgamesh in mid-air stretched out his hand and pointed diagonally at the huge cloud eagle, and a golden light flew up from the high platform at his feet. It was a golden shuttle, and on it stood Enqidu, who was armed with a huge shield and broadsword. Gilgamesh himself is not on the shuttle, but he can control the shuttle in the air to send Enkidu to the clouds!
Of course, the giant eagle formed by the white clouds also "saw" that Enqidu rushed towards him on a flying shuttle, slightly flaring his wings, and the huge beak of the bird opened and made a strange whistling sound.
Not only that, the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield could not hear any sound at this moment, as if a magical force penetrated their eardrums and went straight into their minds, and their whole bodies were weak for a while, and the battle had stopped unconsciously, and people were staring at the sky in amazement, and the weapons in someone's hands had landed without knowing it.
The people on the battlefield felt like this, and Enqi in the air was directly facing the attack of the Divine Eagle, the golden light on the shuttle trembled non-stop, as if it was about to be scattered at any time, and the giant shield in his hand emitted an incandescent light under the impact of the whistling sound, and suddenly became translucent!
The silent whistling sound was suddenly sharp, like an irresistible force erupting, the light on Gilgamesh's body trembled, and the shuttle under Enqidu's feet and the giant shield in his hand could not withstand the impact, and suddenly exploded at the same time. The warrior let out a thunderous roar, leaping high with the power of the shuttle's explosion, slashing at the eagle with his broadsword in both hands.
Enqidu's burly figure looked so small in front of the huge Yun Ying, but the golden sword he swung out was extremely dazzling, a hundred feet long, like a giant blade that cut through the sky, slashing at Yun Ying's head.
Amon on the city tower inexplicably had a boiling feeling of his heart tightening, although he knew that Enqi was an enemy, he couldn't help but think of another person, that is, the old madman Nietzsche. Goret once showed Amon the splendor of Nietzsche's last moment, and the scene of Enriel waving his staff and rushing to the clouds was very similar to the scene in front of him! The old madman was already dead, could it be that Enqidu was also crazy? He and Gilgamesh had obviously been waiting for this moment for a long time, as if the old madman had been waiting for the gods to appear.
The giant blade slashed at the cloud eagle, and the cloud had no physical form, and the sword slashed through, as if it had not caused any damage. But the entire canopy of heaven was shaking, and the cloud eagle that had been cut down was dissipating, and then a huge storm rolled up in the sky, and for a moment nothing could be seen clearly. Affected by the storm, many people on the ground staggered and stood unsteadily.
Amun, however, stood very steady and could see very clearly. Gilgamesh's form in the air disappeared in the storm, and he opened his eyes and raised his staff to the sky, and a gust of wind rose, just as the grace that fell from the sky swept up and landed steadily on the high platform. Looking at this continent's No. 1 warrior again, his fist gauntlet only held a small half of the mutilated broadsword in his right hand, and the snake scale armor on his body also appeared terrifying cracks.
An angry and majestic voice came from high in the sky: "You are crazy, you dare to offend the gods!" Then the storm dissipated, the huge cloud eagle had disappeared, the sun shone again, and this battlefield of ten thousand people was silent for a while.
Only Enqi laughed, his laughter was hoarse and tired, but he could not hide his excitement and fanaticism, and shouted to the sky: "Horus, why don't you go down the clouds and come to the battlefield?
Horus's voice echoed over the battlefield again: "Who is on the verge of destruction, who is qualified to fight me? You are but the embodiment of a god, but you will face the most tragic fate, no matter how powerful you think you are, you will not be able to escape the curse of this fate!" and then there was no more silence, the god had departed.
No one spoke, and they didn't know what to say. It seems that Enkidu had dispersed the miracle that Horus had shown, and Horus had already left without actually showing up, but when he left, he said a few words to recover the scene, and it is not known whether his threats were true or not.
Amon on the tower of the city raised the iron staff and let out a long horn sound, this is the order to retreat, the Eju soldiers were stunned on the battlefield! The two army commanders, Long Teng and Blaze, suddenly came back to their senses when they heard the order, shouted and ordered to close the military formation, and before the enemy could fully react, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and their task was completed.
The Uruk corps did not pursue or continue the siege, but gathered their positions and slowly retreated. Today's battle is extremely tragic, the casualties on both sides are not small, and the appearance of the gods in the end is thrilling**. At this moment, the soldiers had no intention of fighting again, the shock they felt was too strong, and they had not completely come to their senses.
Amon walked down the tower and returned to the commander-in-chief's meeting hall, the generals around him were silent, and everyone's hearts were full of all kinds of questions, but no one was willing to say anything. There was an invisible and solemn atmosphere that hung over everyone's hearts, and Amon ordered the town of Red Cape and the large battalions on both sides to be on guard, and then asked people to write a war report and submit it to the Pharaoh, and went back to rest.
Amon didn't explain how to write the battle report, so let the clerk of the army write it smartly, not only to truthfully reflect everything that happened on the battlefield, but also not to dampen the prestige and morale, let alone damage the majesty of the gods. The Scribe is very well worded, and this battle report gives a detailed account of how Amon commanded his army to repel the onslaught of the Uruk Legion, and how the two Legion Commanders launched a heroic counterattack to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
The battle report highlights that the Eju army was blessed by Horus, and the great gods appeared in the sky above the battlefield, encouraging the Eju soldiers to repel the formidable enemy. When the gods disappeared, they cursed the leaders of their enemies, who would be punished with the most terrible punishment in the world, and the army of Eju would be victorious.
Pharaoh took it very seriously, because Horus appeared, and everyone on the battlefield was witnesses. Lassis II immediately summoned his ministers and people to hold a grand sacrifice ceremony in the temple of the promontory, and sent a delegation of emissaries to the front to give a grand reward to the soldiers in the name of the gods.
As commander-in-chief, Amun was of course most rewarded, and before the war was over, he was named "the great god Horus, who protected the upper and lower Eju, guarded the dignity of the empire, inherited the glory of An-La, and praised the great generals of the nations." The title was long, a title of high status, and he also gained a large territory on the outskirts of the city-state of Herac, south of Monfits, and the inhabitants of the territory became his slaves.
This is not just because of his exploits, but because he is undoubtedly favored by the gods, not through some kind of symbol, it is Horus who appears directly on the battlefield. Pharaoh had to reward Amun with a title that surpassed that of the average city-state. But in this way, Amon is also in the predicament of being bound by the glory of the gods, and he can only win in the war, and unless he dies on the battlefield, he must not retreat, let alone lose.
On the night after returning from the battlefield, Amon instructed everyone not to disturb him, and to meditate quietly under the starry sky in the backyard of his residence. Witnessing the miracles of Horus, as well as the divine form of Gilgamesh, especially the sword that Enkidu slashed at the Cloud Eagle, his soul seemed to be touched, and there was a trace of clarity and clarity that seemed to be captured.
