Chapter 18: The God of War Blessings
More than 30,000 slaves knew what was going to happen to them, some closed their eyes and faced it calmly, some knelt on the ground and shivered, many of them had fainted, and they needed to be straightened by the royal court guards who raised their sabers behind them, so that the bones would not break the blade, and experienced Viking warriors knew it.
The general under Da Dan Yu's command, the corners of his mouth went up, he smiled cruelly, and waved his right hand fiercely!
In an instant, 30,000 heads fell on the playground covered with yellow sand, and the blood spurting from the necks of the slaves stained the entire playground red.
As the heads of 30,000 slaves fell to the ground, the souls left the torsos that had lost their heads, and when they floated away, the bronze bell at the top of the temple shook more and more violently, and the entire temple inexplicably sounded a burst of hysterical shouts of killing, the sound of horses neighing and swords colliding together, the sound of boulders thrown by catapults smashing on the city wall, screams, the friction of sharp weapons cutting flesh and blood, these are all sounds that appear on battlefields of more than one million, the sound is huge, but there is no trace of image display.
The 30,000 royal court guards standing in the playground, like being struck by lightning, knelt on the ground in a panic and quickly, kneeling on both knees, and the whole head was tightly attached to the ground, this is the favorite voice of the god of war, "lullaby of war" It is said that when the god of war was a child, his mother released this sound every day to coax him to sleep, and this sound appeared to indicate that the god of war had come!
Compared with the panic of the guards outside the temple, the shamans and priests in the temple were much calmer, they opened their arms and smiled reverently, listening carefully to this bloody "lullaby of war"!
The god of war is the god house worshiped by all dictators and tyrants, because all killings and wars will be blessed by his old man, especially the war of aggression, the legend of the great war of exterminating the nation and destroying the country, the god of war will also disguise himself as an old man who is responsible for picking up corpses on the battlefield and watch it in person, so since ancient times, all the barbarians in the wasteland have waged war to be proud, and they are proud to plunder those infidels!!

Da Shan Yu dragged the two boxes to the altar in the middle of the grassland with great difficulty, although Da Shan Yu chose the "power of Beamon" in the first sacrifice from now on, the strength is comparable to that of a beast, but the weight of the things in the box in his left and right hands is really not light, and only he knows what it is.
After Da Shan Yu stood still, he couldn't help but look around. Only by standing in front of the altar can you truly feel the vastness of the grassland in this temple.
The high priest said gently: "Son, there is no doubt about your devotion to the god of war, but do you really only plan to hand over these two boxes? You must know that last year, the king of the Huns, Attila, sacrificed ten titan giants with a height of more than nine meters, and I heard that in order to capture these ten titan giants alive, the Hun Empire and a certain elven country in the east fought with the border, and nearly 300,000 people were killed in the battle!"
"Thank you for the reminder. Da Dan moved in his heart, as if he had sensed something from it, and he bowed slightly.
"Prepare your sacrifice first. The high priest commanded, and when she saw Da Shan Yu opening the two boxes next to the altar, she couldn't help but be slightly moved with her indifference, and said, "Two dragon eggs that are still alive? This is...... It's actually the egg of a nine-headed dragon! Then let's start the ritual now, the god of war is very irritable and impatient!"
The High Priest crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed his head slightly in front of the altar, and reverently and intently chanted a long and mysterious incantation. As the syllables of the incantation were spit out one by one, pale golden snowflakes began to fall from the void sky, and bursts of desolate and mysterious aura poured out of the void and gradually spread.
As the aria reached its climax, the voice of the high priest suddenly rose up, and she used the scepter in her hand to put a single order on the altar in front of her, and the broken and weathered stone platform suddenly shot out a dazzling golden light, forming a pillar of light of immeasurable length, which shot straight into the sky! The radius of the pillar of light gradually expanded, enveloping the entire ruin.
When the sound of the hooves of a lonely war horse approached rapidly, the high priest also withdrew from the range of the pillar of light, which was the sound of an old horse on the god of war's mount, and only Da Shan Yu was left in the altar.
In the pillar of light, the sacrificial ceremony officially began, and Da Shan Yu hurriedly picked up two nine-headed dragon eggs from the big box and pushed them on the altar with difficulty.
As soon as the dragon egg touched the altar, a strong light immediately bloomed on the altar, and another pillar of light rose into the sky, and under the illumination of the light, the dragon egg gradually became transparent, and then gradually annihilated until it disappeared.
The four-mouthed chest made of pure gold but with very rough workmanship suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the large order.
A strange, loud voice without the slightest emotion sounded in Da Danyu's consciousness: "Mortal, now you can choose your divine gift." β
You can only take one case at a time!
Da Shan Yu walked towards the first box, and the pattern engraved on the front of the box was a girl bathing under the waterfall, with her breasts and buttocks half exposed, her figure graceful, her head raised high, and her eyes slightly closed with a look of enjoyment.
Elementary Life Salute: Over the next 6 years, your body will no longer age.
As soon as Da Shan Yu approached the box's attributes, it was directly imprinted into his mind.
The effect of this gift is actually equivalent to an extension of life span by 6 years. For kings with boundless territory, countless riches and beautiful women, who lacked almost nothing, there was no more generous gift from God. All they need is to live longer and enjoy a few more years.
Da Shan Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked to the second gold chest.
The carved pattern on the second gold chest is a flock of sheep grazing in the grassland.
Increased primary livestock production: Next year, all territories under your rule will have a slight increase in the birth and survival rates of animals larger than hyenas and smaller than yaks
This is more exciting for nomads who live on herders than millions more people.
Da Shan Yu didn't say anything, and walked to the third box with an expressionless face.
The third box depicts Hassan carving an old herdsman on horseback, holding a child about seven or eight years old in his arms, and both grandparents laughing loudly at their expressions.
Primary: Your first born grandson will be blessed by the god of war and will grow up to be a king with a huge territory!
Da Danyu's hands trembled and stretched out to the third gold chest, and just about to open it, he shrank back and walked to the fourth.
Junior God-Given General: The God of War will grant you a general with extraordinary intelligence or extraordinary force, who can command an army of millions of people in battle, or who is not worthy of bravery, and whose loyalty to you is second only to the God of War!
This divine gift is more practical, a general who is completely loyal to you and can lead an army of millions, that is the dream of many kings who are afraid of being usurped to the throne, and most kings will generally choose the command line when they encounter this divine gift.
The big single ** took a few steps back, stretched out his index finger, put it in his mouth and sucked hard, like a baby.
If Da Shan Yu's own brothers, the Viking Iron Hat Kings, see the appearance of their youngest brother, they will know that he has made a difficulty, and it is a table that he will only have when he is faced with a difficult choice.
In the end, Da Shan Yu stretched out his hand to the third box,
The moment the box was opened, the light was so bright that Da Shan Yu could barely open his eyes when he was stabbed, and after the light passed, all four boxes disappearedγγγ
Immediately followed by the sound of the lonely hooves of a war horse, the difference is that just now it is from far and near, and now it is from near and far.
Back in the abandoned highlands, where it was gradually warming, Hannibal's last crop of potatoes was edible, although it didn't taste good (mainly because the barbarians couldn't cook), but it was very full, and after Hannibal spoke, Jobs, the big eater, supplied potatoes in unlimited quantities. You can save three sheep on this day!
Cnut received more than 22,000 goblins from Hannibal's prisoners of war, and it was still the old rule of 18 gold coins, and this time Hannibal asked for all the gold coins. As soon as Canute handed over a full 30 boxes of 396,000 gold coins to Hannibal, he immediately ordered people to carry down more than 200 long and short weapons and more than 30 sets of armor samples from the carriage, and lined up neatly for Hannibal to choose.
Hannibal is also a person who has been to the large single in the arsenal, and has seen the world, but he is still stupid, although the number of these weapons is not as large as that in the large single arsenal, but it seems that the quality is better than that of the large single in the arsenal.
Hannibal's first sight was a three-meter-long wooden-handled axe.
The axe gun, a combination of a spear and an axe, is an axe-shaped halberd that belongs to the long weapon. A weapon commonly used by infantry in the Cold Weapon Era, which can be stabbed and slashed, is powerful, and mainly appears in the west. The protrusions on its inner and outer sides can hook the cavalry off the horse's back, and then damage the opponent with the spikes, although it cannot reach the point of sharpness, but it can use its weight to chop and slash, and inflict heavy damage on the knight wearing full-body metal armor, Hannibal talked about the power of this murder weapon during the first war between Baiyintara and the Ottoman Empire, and it shook in the hands of the mammoth cavalry like a swinging clock, and an Ottoman light cavalry was cut into two ends with men and horses, and it was really domineering, and the cavalry was not bad to charge.
Hannibal picked it up and turned it upside down, weighing more than 20 pounds, the barrel of the gun was made of anti-slip and anti-corrosion treatment, and the head and axe at the front end were still engraved with blood grooves, the quality was indeed good, and he nodded with satisfaction: "How much?"
Knut: "How much do you want?
Hannibal: "2000 no! 4200 handles!"
Knut touched his chin and thought for a moment: "21 gold coins!"
Hannibal didn't say anything, and picked up a desert country style saber, the handshake part of this saber is very short, wrapped in thick lizard skin, wrapped with a cotton rope with good water absorption, wrapped in a whole layer, the blade is larger than the Viking warriors under Hannibal's command, the volume is longer, the saber belongs to the wide back thin blade, the blade is heavier, which is conducive to increasing the strength of the chopping, the overall line of the saber is smooth, the handle is generally slightly bent in the direction of the blade, so that the handle with the arc is more conducive to the rider's control, not easy to get rid of, Hannibal knocked twice with his fingers, put it in his ear: "The steel is good, but the arc is too big, more like a scimitar than like a saber!"
Canute stepped forward without saying a word and snatched the scimitar from Hannibal's hand, and with the other hand pulled out his somewhat old saber from the waist of a Viking warrior next to Hannibal, this action made the Viking warrior furious, taking away his weapon was no different from sleeping with his mother-in-law, and was about to go crazy, Hannibal patted him on the shoulder and calmed down: "Attach your ears to it, I'll let you pick it first in a while!"
The Viking warrior glared at Canute and took two steps back.
