When Prince Snake got the news, he immediately sent an army to arrest Moses and the miners in Duc Town, and the order was very strict - if you can't catch them alive, you can kill them! In order to ensure that the order can be carried out thoroughly, Prince Snake not only sent the garrison of the city-state of the headland, but also sent an elite guard brought by himself.

Prince Snake came with a guard, not only samurai but also more than a dozen magicians, a total of three hundred people, far exceeding the normal number of personal guards of a prince. Rod Dick wasn't stupid either, he understood something in his heart when he saw Prince Snake coming with so many people, but he couldn't stop it from happening.

Snake sent a hundred of the three hundred guards he had brought, led by the captain of the guard, and had Rod Dick gather two hundred garrisons of the city-state, as well as a group of priests in the temple, and set out at dawn to the Red Coast to arrest Moses. And he himself led two hundred guards, accompanied by Rod Dick, to the east to pursue Amun.

By the time Snake reached the southern end of the Red Sea, Amon had already left for the headland border. Snake mobilized 800 cavalry and charioteers stationed here, and together with the original guard, 1,000 men, marched at full speed to pursue Amun.

As soon as the two teams set out, Medanzo and Link soon realized that Moses and the others were exposed, because a cavalry had followed the nearest road to the shore of the Red Sea, aiming at the valley where Moses and the others were hiding. Link asked Medanzo, "What should I do?"

Medanzo shook his head and said: "I can't escape, my whereabouts have been exposed, how can Moses outrun the cavalry? If we forcibly cross the sea, the wind and waves have not subsided, and the two of us cast a spell to block the wind and waves, Seth's messenger will intervene to make waves, and Moses and they will probably all die in the sea." Now that you've been cornered, it's better to take up arms and fight!"

Link: "There are three hundred regular legionnaires on the other side, and Moses is no match for them. ”

Medanzo: "The miners in Duk Town are not weak in combat, and it is of course impossible to escape all of them, but it is still possible to snatch horses and run away from a dozen people in battle. Up to now, it is better to keep as many people as possible than to wipe out the entire army. ”

The two of them discussed for a long time, and there was really no better way, so they had to inform Moses to get the people ready for battle.

...... Moses and his people were eating in the valley, next to them were three wooden boats that had been built upside down in the clearing, and there was no wind around, but the red sea in the distance kept rolling in the waves, so they could only continue to wait. Suddenly, he heard the voice of the oracle: "Moses, there is a cavalry of three hundred men coming here, tell your people to prepare for battle, muster up the courage to fight with all your might, take their horses and flee north, and I will guide you to escape." ”

Moses was taken aback and asked secretly, "O messenger of the gods, are we finally going to fight the army of Eju?"

Link asked, "What, are you scared?"

Moses shook his head and said, "No, I long for this battle, even if I sacrifice my own life! The process of finding a home is the pursuit of life, whether it succeeds or not, I will work for it, and the staff given to me by the gods is not just for hurrying." ”

Link said with relief: "Very good, the gods really didn't misunderstand you! Don't panic first, let the clansmen eat well, the pursuers will not arrive until the afternoon, since the battle is inevitable, then wait for work." ”

Link asked Moses to prepare for battle, but he and Medanzo knew in their hearts that this battle would not save the people of Duketown, and it would be lucky to be able to escape a small part. He said to Medanzo privately, "I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task assigned by the god Amun. ”

Medanzo sighed and slowly pulled out the key of fate: "That's what they need to face, the frog god Hyquett, the snake god Edjo, and the crocodile god Sobek have been secretly staring at the two of us." If they were allowed to intervene in the battle, none of the people of Duke Town would be able to escape. ”

Link also sighed: "If they appear in the battlefield, we will also rush in and fight, and use the shuttle to take Moses and David respectively, which is the worst plan." ”

...... After Moses and the other tribesmen had finished their lunch, they stood up and shouted, "Tribesmen, we have reached the shore of Chihai after a great deal of hardship, and we are about to break free from our cage. But our whereabouts were finally revealed, and an emissary sent by the god of Eju led the army to pursue us, and a cavalry of three hundred men was approaching us. Please take up arms and prepare for battle, use battle to liberate our bodies and souls, and the gods are with you and me!"

The people panicked, and some of them shouted in horror, "Are we going to fight the Eju army? Didn't the gods say they would guide us away, so how could they let the army catch up?"

Joshua said to the group, "The path guided by the gods is also the desire of our own hearts, but the gods do not say that there are no thorns on the path. If we don't have the courage to fight, why should we pray to the gods for their protection? Thank the gods for giving us food, strength, faith, and hope so that we can take up arms against the enemy. I'm not as strong as the judges, but I won't hesitate to fight!"

The miners picked up various weapons such as hammers, machetes, hoes, etc., and waited in the valley for the arrival of the Eju cavalry. Some people are resolute in their hearts, others are nervous, and some are praying in panic. Time seemed to have become very long, and the sun shining in the valley became hotter and hotter inexplicably, and many people were unknowingly sweating.

Moses stood on a high place and looked at the two sides with an iron staff in his hand, his eyes were very firm but also implied a trace of helplessness, dozens of miners against three hundred elite cavalry of the empire, doomed to be impossible to win, and could only snatch the horses in the chaos to let some people escape. At this moment, an almost irresistible coercion suddenly filled the valley, and suddenly someone fell to his knees. The crowd didn't know what was happening, and they all stared at the sky with frightened eyes.

A majestic voice sounded in everyone's minds at the same time: "Listen, slaves of Duketown, I am the archangel Seth, a merciful deity who has mercy on the lowly beings." You have disobeyed Pharaoh's orders, the gods have punished you enough along the way, and now that the army of the Empire is chasing you, you have nowhere to run. I can let you go and set you free, but only on my terms!"

Seth! This is the real god speaking! The powerful power permeates the heavens and the earth, and Medanzo and Link, who are hiding in the distance, cannot get close. Someone shouted to the sky, "O god of Eju, how can you let us return to our homeland and let this be over?"

"It's simple," replied Seth in a deep voice, "as long as you make a vow to do one thing, to build a temple for me when you return to the plains of Duk, and to offer sacrifices to me with all your heart, you will be able to leave Eju safely and return to your homeland." Kneel, make a covenant with me, and swear to me, and the pursuers will retreat, and the storms and waves on the red sea will subside. ”

Some of the people were already on their knees, and some were trembling under the powerful pressure. Moses stood as straight as he could with his staff in his hand and replied aloud to the sky: "I refuse! Why should the false gods who have enslaved and tormented us enjoy our sincere sacrifices? We have our gods, the only gods, who are with the light that shines on the soul, and live forever!"

Seth's sneer came: "Moses, do you know what you have refused? Your gods, Mu Yun or Surabaya? Sooner or later, you will find out who is the truly powerful god, and when one day you feel lonely and afraid, build a statue and pray to me, and call my name Seth! I can punish you and let you go, Moses, do you think that all the people here are as stubborn as you?"

With the sound of sneering, the pervasive coercion disappeared, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat, and there was a feeling that they couldn't even breathe. The clansmen looked at each other, recalling what Seth had just said. Someone whispered: "Actually, the conditions for agreeing to the god of Seth are not bad, as long as we return home safely, and refusing him means being slaughtered by the army." ”

Moses raised his staff to the sky with a calm face and said, "Tribesmen, I hear your whispers! A man's life will always come to an end, and when we face death, ask ourselves, what is the purpose of our journey? The evil false god is shaking our faith and trying to make us lose the will to fight. Don't let him succeed, hold your weapons and get ready to fight, yesterday's sweat and today's blood can't be shed in vain!"

Medanzo and Link lurked in the distant col and whispered: "What a terrible power, it is Seth himself who has appeared! This group of people in Duke Town is very important, dozens of fugitive slaves have alarmed the archangel of Eju." ”

Link complimented, "Moses is a good breed, worthy of being a disciple of Amun!"

At that moment, they suddenly heard a voice: "Link, Medanzo, fly into the air, stay on both sides of the coastline, don't let the Hequette and the others make trouble, I will guide Moses and them across the Red Sea." ”

The two were startled and hurriedly turned around to look. At some point, a young girl with a scepter appeared, with long golden-brown hair and a pretty face, but her eyes shone as sharp as a beast.

Medanzo was stunned and exclaimed in a low voice, "May I ask who you are?"

The maiden replied, "We have met many times, and you have called me the messenger of the gods, and you have called me an adult. ”

Link suddenly reacted when he saw the short staff in her hand, and said in a lost voice: "You are the goddess of Best, and there is a statue of you in the manor of God Amun! ”

Medanzo's reaction was even faster, and he immediately bowed and said, "Lord Schrödinger, you are not sent by the Nine Divine Sect, you have always been the companion of God Amun, right?"

Best smiled, "Call me whatever you want, just do what I say." ”

...... Moses was anxiously awaiting the cruel fate, he knew that he would not be victorious, but he vowed to fight to the end, to cover as many of his people as possible to escape, and the strength that Aroha gave him and this staff was used for.

At this moment, he heard a girl's voice again: "Fellow of the people of Duk Town, I am the messenger of Arroha, and I have been watching you silently from the moment you came to this world. You have been guided by the gods to reach the shores of the Red Sea, and after escaping slavery, you have to overcome many hardships, which are the sufferings of the human world, and it is through them that you can have the blessings you seek. Do not be afraid and do not hesitate, go to the sea, and I will part a way for you. ”

The voice seemed to have a strange magic, and everyone heard it, and the panic seemed to be invisibly erased, and people looked around with wide eyes, but they did not see the person who spoke. The girl's voice sounded in Moses' mind again: "Why are you standing still, what are you still hesitating about? Quickly lead the people to the sea, the pursuers are about to arrive, the iron hooves are beating the ground, and the valley is already trembling!"

Moses replied in his soul, "The messenger of the gods has prepared me for battle, and if you are truly the messenger of Aroha and have been watching me from the moment I was born, please prove it." ”

The girl's voice replied, "Your father once said to you, 'The body is the courtyard where the soul dwells, and where it stands is the home where the body and mind reside.'" If the body and mind are deprived of support, and they don't know where the soul is, and they don't know what they are pursuing, then they are truly homeless. 'You made a mistake and were locked upstairs and not allowed to eat dinner, remember?'

Moses was stunned, and there was no doubt in his heart, so he walked down the high slope and raised his staff and said, "Tribesmen, please come with me, our god will guide us across the Red Sea!"

Joshua asked, "Moses, our leader, how does the gods want us to cross the Red Sea? There are huge waves rolling there, and we have not had time to carry the boat to shore." ”

Moses strode out of the valley and said, "The gods let us go like this." ”

The people followed Moses to the seashore, and the wind was not strong, but the swell was several people high, and as far as the eye could see, it was like a huge white flower rising on the sea. The girl's voice whispered again: "Moses, point your staff to the other side." ”

Moses raised his staff and pointed to the other side of the Red Sea, and an incredible miracle happened! I saw that the waves of the sea were rolling left and right, and the sea water was strangely separated, revealing damp reefs and shells, and a path through the Red Sea appeared. It was a thrilling miracle, the waves were rolling on both sides, as if they were ready to smash everything to pieces.

Moses witnessed this miracle and strode over, the staff of iron pointing steadily. The judges shouted at the people who were still stunned on the shore, "Don't go quickly, rush over as fast as you can!"

Medanzo and Link floated in mid-air along the road left and right, stunned and exclaimed, "Is this the power of the goddess Best?"

Link said, "We flew next to Moses and the others to help the goddess and prevent those three guys from causing trouble." ”

An angry voice came from the sky: "Best, what are you doing! Do you want to betray the Nine Divine System?"

Best replied lightly: "Seth, please call me Lord Schrödinger, I am just parting the Red Sea." ”

Seth's voice was a little annoyed: "As a member of the Nine Divine Systems, you can open the boundaries of the Divine Domain. But you should know what it means, I don't know when you regained such strength, but are you confident that you are my opponent?"

Best sneered: "Archangel Seth, you have become the main god of the Nine Divine System in the name of Allah, and I am certainly not your opponent. But I don't have to worry about being defeated by you, this is my last strength, and it's also my farewell ceremony, and you can't stop it. ”

As the passage in the sea stretched forward, Best's figure on the clouds became lighter and lighter, as if it was becoming transparent and slowly disappearing. Seth shouted in astonishment, "Is this how you unlocked the soul bondage? I won't let you succeed in helping that man named Amon like this!"

Best's form faded away, and the last voice floated in the air: "Really? Why don't you try? He didn't challenge you, even if you want to break the covenant of the gods and attack a mortal, don't forget whose hands the Destruction Storm is." ”

...... Amon walked on the official road, his steps were firm, not fast or slow, with the majesty of an imperial general, even if he was alone, he seemed to be commanding thousands of troops. He had already left the realm of the Nine Divine Systems, but he was still in the territory of the Cape City-State of the Eju Empire, and he did not leave in a hurry. Because he had only left here to participate in a duel, and knew very well that Moses and the others were still in Egu, he himself could attract greater attention if anything really happened.

That afternoon, Amun, who was walking, suddenly stopped and turned around. Powerful mana fluctuations came from far away in the northwest, and even Amon felt deeply shocked. Could it be that the gods have made a move, it is Moses and they are in trouble? Amon has had the experience of Schrödinger's soul imprint, the gods will not directly do something, and there are some special agreements between the gods, so who is doing what at this moment?

Amon wanted to rush over and take a look, but he didn't move, because he had his own troubles. A thunderous sound came from the west, and the earth trembled gently. Amon was familiar with the sound of cavalry and chariots marching in formation, rushing towards his position. He didn't take out his weapon, and stood quietly with his hands behind his back.

Moments later, a well-armored military formation appeared on the horizon, chariots and cavalry still in neat formation as they marched at high speed. About a hundred paces in front of Amun, there was a short burst of trumpets, and the chariots and horses slowed down at the same time and came to a steady stop, apparently a well-trained troop. Of course, these people are all elites, except for the two hundred Prince Sneid's guards, the rest of the eight hundred soldiers are all trained by Amon himself.

The military formation stopped, and Rod Dick shouted, "General, please stay!"

Amon asked with his back hand, "I'm already standing here!" Dick City Lord, who are you going to fight with so many troops?"

Rod Dick stubbornly shouted, "We have come to ask the general to return, and Prince Snake has sent someone to ask you to discuss important matters, but you refuse to see him, so His Royal Highness has come in person." It is the supreme glory of the empire to invite the general back so solemnly!"

Amon smiled: "Please someone, is it necessary to set up a military formation? If General Ben is unwilling to go back, do you want to fight me?"
