This great general of the Megatron Continent was so young, he looked only about twenty, his exposed skin on the outside of his clothes showed a bronze metallic luster, he was wearing armor without a helmet, his chest was adorned with bright jewels, and his shoulders were embroidered with ribbons. He has an unusually majestic figure, short hair in a curly bun, a high nose and deep eye sockets, and his eyes are clear and deep as if they are magical.

Surrounded by his guards, Darius passed through a small town. It is a market town formed spontaneously next to the official road, where passers-by and merchants rest, and it is also a place for several nearby villages to trade goods and buy various goods. The area east of the Eudes was not devastated by the war, Sinach's army did not reach here, and Darius attacked the city-state of Kish almost without a fight, so the area was almost undamaged, as it was before the war.

There was a tavern on the side of the road, in front of which was an open courtyard, there was no courtyard wall on the side facing the official road, and there were a few tables and stools in the open space, and there was a stake for the horses next to it, and there was a stone trough for the horses to drink and feed. There are no large post stations in such small market towns, and such taverns can often be seen on the side of official roads, mainly for merchants to rest and drink.

It was once a thriving trade route from the upper reaches of the Eudi River to the heart of the Balun, but now there are far fewer visitors than there used to be in the turbulent years. Seeing the army passing by, only children in the town curiously hid in the corner and looked, and then were called back to their homes by adults and quickly closed the door.

Even the innkeeper, who was doing business, hid in his house and looked out through the crack in the window, but there were two guests sitting at the table in the courtyard, each occupying a table, drinking unhurriedly, as if he had not seen the murderous army passing by on the road.

A gust of wind blew, and the well-trained guards under Darius suddenly smelled a strange aroma of wine, which was the smell of the best wine in the world, how could it smell in this town? Although the city-state of Kish had not been warned, it was affected by the surrounding wars, and the local people's livelihood and economy were definitely not as good as before, and the first thing that was hit the most was all kinds of luxury goods.

Wine consumption consumes food, and the supply of wine during the war is bound to be insufficient, especially fine wine, which is extremely expensive and scarce, how can it appear in such a tavern?

This roadside town tavern now sells a cloudy and light, sour and astringent liquor that is often drunk by mainland drivers. Although the guards were surprised, none of them looked back, not even the pace of the horses' hooves was not chaotic, and they subconsciously raised their vigilance. - Even if a true elite soldier is not aware of the danger, even if there is a trace of abnormality in the surrounding environment, he will be on guard.

At this moment, at the sudden sound of an order, the guard of honor at the front of the team suddenly stopped, and they barely made much noise at the same time. Immediately after that, the order to stop the march was transmitted to the rear, like a surge pushing through, and the entire army stopped, no one spoke, there was no sound of weapons and armor clashing, and there was a solemn atmosphere on the official road.

The guards parted ways, Darius dismounted, unsheathed his sword, handed it to Sui Cong, and strode into the semi-open courtyard. Everyone in the town was frightened, and they didn't know what the army was trying to do when they stopped here? Watching the mighty general enter the tavern, the boss was hiding behind the window and his legs were weak, and he should have come out to greet the guests, but he couldn't move at all when he stood there with his hands on the windowsill.

Darius walked to a table, pulled out a stool and sat down, and said, "Good wine, I didn't expect to be able to drink such a fine wine in the world in such a place!"

Sitting opposite was a young man in a gray-white linen robe, with a handsome face and a peaceful expression, and the edges and corners of his facial features had an invisible sense of perseverance, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took out another cup out of thin air, lifted the wine jug on the table and poured a full glass of wine for Darius, and slowly pushed it over and said, "The general's nose is very smart, are you dismounted for this glass of wine?"

Darius laughed: "Wine should be drunk for heroes, I am now leading a large army to sweep through Tianshu to the border of Eju, but I heard the people calling for a general named Amon, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really fate!"

Sitting opposite Darius was Amun, who raised his eyebrows slightly as he held his glass: "Darius, do you know me?"

Darius replied, "Your idol is in the city of Salem, and I have been there, and the master carvers are as good as you, and those who have seen you can recognize you at a glance, so why do you ask me this?

Amon took a cup and said, "I'm drinking, you came by yourself." ”

Darius raised his glass and said, "I respect you, as a general on the battlefield, a toast to your former legend!"

Darius knew who was sitting in front of him, but he had no fear. His subordinates were strictly disciplined, and none of the guards came without an order, and the entire army was waiting quietly on the official road, and they also used magic to sound when they spoke, and only he and Amon could hear the conversation.

Amon raised his glass and drank it all: "I admire your courage a little, knowing who I am, and daring to come alone." ”

Darius smiled: "The person who should be admired is you, even if you are the god Amun, the elite battle formation of the immortal team in front of you, if you are surrounded by it, you can't stand it...... Amon, you once attacked and captured Lucier, the king of Hatties, and you also appeared in the hunting ground where Sinach was assassinated, are you here to assassinate me today?

Amon shook his head: "I'm not here to assassinate you, I'm just a little curious, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person defeated Goree?" I am a god, and according to the agreement of the gods, I will not directly attack a mortal." If I really want to kill you, I will send a messenger to find you, and you will have to be careful when the time comes. ”

Darius's laughter suddenly became louder, and the air around him was buzzing, and even the table was trembling, and he smiled and asked, "Then do you see clearly? It was I who defeated Gere, and it was also I who defeated the Anuna Enlightenment Divine System, and Anu was defeated by me, both in the human world and in the kingdom of God." ”

This time it was Amun's turn to be surprised, and when Darius laughed wildly, there was an aura that was very familiar to him, and the great general in front of him seemed to be familiar - it was Malduk! Amon put down the cup and shouted softly: "Darius is actually you?"

Darius replied meaningfully, "In the human world, I am now Darius! You must be curious how I did it? This is another realm that I am seeking, and you can call it the embodiment of the fruition." ”

As he spoke, Amon imprinted a message in his mind, explaining the identity of the great general who was drinking, which could be described as mysterious. Sitting in front of Amun were both Maldok and Darius the general of Potze, but the god Marduk, who was creating his kingdom in immortal eternity, did not come to earth as a god in the form of a new soul like Anu.

When he came to earth, Darius was him, and when he stayed in the kingdom of God, everything Darius thought and experienced in the world was also equal to his experience. This incarnation is a human being, born into a noble family of the Hermenides tribe of Poza, gifted and wise since childhood, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats at a young age, and was appointed a great general by Cyrus.

So Darius would say to Amun that both Anu and Goret had been defeated by his men. This realm is not the same as a simple doppelganger, in fact, after Amon breaks through the ninth-level achievement, he can act in another identity, and after becoming a god, he can naturally change into various images to face the world, but they are all different from Darius's situation.

Everything Darius did in the human world was the confirmation of Malduk, his experience was Malduk's insight, and the power of cultivation would also become the power that Marduk grew. Regardless of whether Darius as a "man" can transcend eternal life, as long as he comes to earth and confirms what Marduk desires, it will be considered complete. And when Maldok came to earth, he was Darius, and Darius at this time would have the power of Malduk.

Amun can't do this today, and neither can Anun, the creator god of the Anunaqi gods, and An-Ra, the creator god of the nine-link gods, do this, but Malduk can. Amon had been exploring the higher realm of existence, and Darius or Marduk in front of him had given him a good kind of confirmation, which was worth savoring.

Amon couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you telling me this?"

Darius's smile turned out to be a little innocent: "Like a child who wears a new dress, or like an adult who gets a good position, he can't help but show off to his neighbors." I'm lonely right now, and who else can understand how I feel at the moment? Thank you for making a special trip to prepare a good wine for me, it is so considerate!"

Amon continued to pour wine with a blank face: "I have to thank you too, at least you gave me an inspiration. ”

Malduk's smile became a little sly again: "If that's the case, I'll have to thank you even more." I heard that you have the title of Emperor Killer, and wherever you appear, there will always be human emperors who will be unlucky! I have come to pick you up this time, but I met you outside the city of Kish, if according to the itinerary of Cyrus the Great, he should have arrived in the city of Kish this afternoon, now it seems that I am afraid that he will not be able to arrive.

As a god like you, I will not attack a mortal directly unless he challenges me. What's more, I have my promise that it is impossible to hurt a monarch who believes in me. And I cut off the incarnation of Darius, and everything I do in the world will not go beyond this identity, otherwise there is no way to verify. If someone succeeds in assassinating Cyrus, they may be helping me, so let me say thank you very much in private!"

Amon's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized a situation that he had not expected beforehand. Even if Semir and Faust did succeed in assassinating Cyrus, they probably wouldn't be able to save the Assyrian Empire. The assassination was based on the assumption that the Poz tribes would fall into civil strife and that the newly established provinces would fall apart as soon as Cyrus died.

Now it seems that if Cyrus is really dead, it is indeed inevitable that the Poz tribes will seize power in internal strife, but there is such a great general with a heavy army, whose strength is no less than Cyrus, and he can take this opportunity to clean up the situation and ascend to the throne. Amun had even seen that Darius would become an even more dazzling Emperor of Potts in the world.

According to the plan formulated by Bright Moon Night, the assassination of Cyrus should be today, whether it is successful or not, I am afraid that the result has been decided at this moment, even if Amon wants to stop it, it will be too late. With Darius here, Cyrus would not die, and the end result would be the same for the Assyrian Empire.

But Darius just sat in front of him and drank, and used his magic to hold his voice and talk to Amun, who at this moment could not get accurate information from afar, so he could only sit here and drink with him, listening to the general of Potts talking in a ostentatious tone.

Amon raised his glass again and said, "Marduk, I want to congratulate you, another Emperor of Potts in the world!"

Darius smiled and raised his glass to drink: "It's more accurate for you to call me Darius, as for the throne of Poz, I'm afraid it will take a while to get it, if there is no civil strife in Poz, there is no such opportunity." I can't go beyond Darius in the human world, and it may take some effort to figure it out. Don't worry, my envoys won't be involved, and it's up to you whether they can escape or not. ”

Amun's mood had calmed down, and he said lightly: "What do you have to be happy about? Get ready to rush back to Poz to quell the rebellion! No matter how high General Darius's methods are, it will take a few years." ”

Darius was still smiling: "Of course I am happy, although I can't welcome Cyrus the Great, but the god Amun has set up the most beautiful wine in the world to wait for me, the future Emperor Boz, as I sat down - good wine should be drunk for heroes!"

At this moment, a very impatient voice suddenly sounded: "Wine should be drunk by heroes? Yes, wine should be shared with beautiful women! The so-called heroes have always drunk strong wine or bitter wine." As gods, do you need to sit in this place with the best wine in the world, it's really boring! It's fun to be in the world and drink the wine here in such a tavern!"

The two gods were shocked at the same time, and turned their heads to look at the corner of the courtyard. There was a man sitting there, and although Amon and Darius had just noticed nothing out of the ordinary, they ignored him. They were silenced when they spoke, and not to mention that the soldiers on the official road, even other gods could not hear.

But the man heard, and not only did he hear, but he pierced the isolated space and sent the sound to the ears of Amun and Darius. Darius turned around and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

The man stood up and put down his glass, which contained the sour and astringent cloudy liquor sold in the tavern. He was a middle-aged man, who had been ordinary and unnoticeable when he sat there just now, but when he got up and spoke, he had an air of majesty that was not revealed, even in front of Darius and Amun.

He smiled and waved his hand, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the two of you, but you just want to sit next to me and talk about this, as if you were telling me." ”

Amon stood up and saluted, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man had broad shoulders and a thick back, long golden hair and long beard combed very neatly, and blue eyes, which seemed to be bottomless. He smiled and said, "I'm here to pick up girls, and I happen to be passing by! How beautiful the world is, how wonderful life is, why do you work so hard in vain?"

As he spoke, he put the wine money on the table, paced away with his hands behind his back, and disappeared through the military formation on the official road. And those brightly armored soldiers were still standing in formation, and no one even saw him!

Darius and Amon glanced at each other, and Darius, who was showing off just now, seemed a little interested at the moment, and he asked Amun, "Do you know this person?"

Amon shook his head: "I've never seen it." ”

Darius said to himself, "He can hear us, and he can show us that he is still unflawed, and no one around him can see him." Among the gods, I only think of Allah and Anu, but it can't be the two of them, is it ......?"

Amun replied on his behalf, "Zeus." ”

Darius slapped the table: "Yes, it should be him, Zeus, the lord of the Olympian gods!

Amon shrugged his shoulders: "He already said that he was here to pick up girls, and he happened to be passing by here." ”

Darius: "How can it be so coincidental?"

Amon sighed: "It's indeed too coincidental, such as the three most powerful gods in the Pivot Continent today, actually sitting in such a tavern and drinking at the same time. I can't believe it, but it happened!"

Darius turned out to be the human incarnation of Marduk, which made Amon realize that the assassination of Cyrus by Semir and Faust was a futile adventure, but that people live in the world and must do something for their vows. But in Malduk's view, doing so was indirectly helping him, so he looked like a child showing off his new clothes as he served the wine across from Amon.

However, Zeus suddenly appeared and left, and at the same time, to the surprise of the two of them, the two of them could not figure out what the lord of the Olympian god wanted to do? The best wine in the world could no longer be drunk, and the two powerful gods on the continent seemed to feel a kind of unknown beyond their control.

At this moment, three shuttles roared in the sky in the distance, and the magician who controlled the shuttle hurried frantically at the limit speed at the expense of mana. The soldiers on the official road were still unaware, while Darius and Amon noticed the movement. Darius nodded and said, "Congratulations, it seems that someone has succeeded in assassinating Cyrus." ”

Amon shook his head and said, "I should say congratulations to you, General Darius, the future Emperor of Poz! You have your world, and I will go to find my kingdom of heaven and fulfill my vows, guidance, and redemption. ”
