Chapter 59: The Prophecy of Ahnathon
On the Miro River, the amphibious assault ship USS Central Park is approaching the city of Milo along the river.
Inside the attack ship, the captain was communicating with the command.
"Colonel Martin, you have two tasks, one is to cooperate with Ambassador Robert Allen to put pressure on the Egyptian side, and the other is to pick up Major Chalaman of Whitewater. โ
"Yes, Minister. โ
"The priority of the task of receiving Chalaman is to cooperate with the mission of Ambassador Robert Allen, and if the two missions conflict, the priority is to complete the task of taking over Charaman. โ
"Yes, Minister. โ
After cutting off the communications, Colonel Martin closed his eyes and thought about how to cooperate with Ambassador Robert Allen in pressuring Egypt.
If it was before, this kind of thing would be easy to solve, just drive the attack ship outside Miro City and accidentally brush the gun, but now it is different, the appearance of transcendents and gods and the strength they show have made the Ministry of Defense become cautious, and the above three orders require them to be cautious, and before they understand the strength of the transcendents and gods, they will no longer be as arrogant as before.
"It's a bit of a trick. Colonel Martin tapped his fingers on his thigh, and his head hurt.
Outside, a communications soldier ran in in a panic, "Report...... Report, there is a situation. โ
Colonel Martin furrowed his brows, dissatisfied with the soldier's flustered appearance, "What's the situation?"
"The city of Miro has turned dark red. โ
"Miro City has turned dark red, is it the Transcendent?"
Colonel Martin thought of the transcendents and gods mentioned in the previous information, his face changed, he rushed out, and when he rushed outside, he immediately saw a piece of Milo City with a completely different color from other places, as if someone had smeared Milo City in all directions with paint.
"Sure enough, it's from a transcendent mystical power...... Contact the Department of Defense and tell them what's going on. Colonel Martin quickly ordered, "Besides, let's stop here and don't come any closer...... No, it's better to drive the boat away and stay away from the city. โ
The order was to deter Egypt and cooperate with Ambassador Robert Allen in putting pressure on Egypt, but to be careful not to provoke a real conflict.
Wouldn't I have carried out this order perfectly if I stayed away from Miro City?
As for receiving Charaman, I can do the same if I am far away from the city of Mirรณ, but the Major Charamane may have to swim across the Mirรณ.
......
The black-red sun hung over the city of Miro, filled with an unspeakable and strange power.
In the city of Milo, although the police in Miro are already trying to maintain order, countless residents are still screaming, roaring, cursing, and venting in the city, and their lives are staged in this apocalyptic scene.
A dark red glow shrouded them, giving them a ghostly feel.
In the presidential palace, while trying to instruct others to maintain order, Clemens urged in a sweaty manner: "Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now?
Do you think it's a game, and you can clear the level if you have a scene?
The folklorists questioned by Clemens kept their mouths shut, even the previously present Nininettir and the expressive Professor Kafra kept their mouths shut.
They are folklorists, not high priests who serve the gods, and their main business is to brush up on academic achievements, not to hold sacrifices to appease the wrath of the gods.
This business scope is completely wrong, how do you want me to give a solution?
"Mr. President, look outside, the dead are alive. Shreif ran over and said anxiously.
Clemens's face changed when he heard this, he walked to the window in three steps and two steps to look out, only to see that under the light of the black and red sun, finger bones stretched out from the ground, and these palms that had long been rotted to the point that only bones were left to support the ground, and the dead got up from the ground little by little.
Seeing such a strange and terrifying scene, a folklore expert unconsciously read out: "...... The ancient pharaohs were resurrected by the power of the gods of the underworld, and the dead who slept in the underworld embarked on a journey back ....... โ
"Combined with the previous 'red light wrapped around the ship of ten thousand years, and blood covered the high hills', Akhnatun's prophecy came true in two parts, and then the next part should be the last part: 'The silent darkness reigns over the universe, the dark world becomes incomparably beautiful, the great gods disappear, and the people celebrate with singing and dancing'. โ
"This ...... Probably not. Shreif squirmed and swallowed.
Not to mention that ancient Egypt has long since died, the current Egyptians and the ancient Egyptians are completely two races, except for the same name, everyone does not have much inheritance relationship, they will not be happy for the return of the god Osiris, just now such a weird and terrifying scene, who can be happy 'singing and dancing'.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sun, which was emitting an endless black-red light, shrank suddenly, the light paused, and the night returned to the earth, and the evil dark red light slowly faded.
The world in sight began to normalize, as if all that had happened was just an illusion.
"Disappeared....... Clemens muttered.
"It doesn't seem like there's ....... Shreif whispered, "The sun is still there." โ
While the two were talking, the city of Miro suddenly fell silent, and both the living and the dead suddenly stopped, as if a person watching a movie in front of a computer screen pressed the pause button, and all the movements remained the same as before.
After a few seconds of silence, under the horrified gaze of Clemens and the others, the living people began to sing and dance in unison.
"At dawn you rise from the edge of the sky, Thou, God Athon! shine in the daylight, Thou hast cast out the darkness and cast forth light, and every day in Upper and Lower Egypt shall rejoice, and the people shall awaken and stand up, and it is Thou hast made them stand up. They washed their bodies, dressed them, and ...... them with their arms held high. โ
The glow of the city was dispelled by the passionate singing, and the dark night sky seemed to be filled with the excitement of the dance, and the whole world became happy.
But none of the people in the presidential palace could get up happy.
Because the dancing posture of these living people in their eyes was extremely stiff, and the moment the living people turned around, they could clearly see that the faces of the living people showed panicked expressions that had already frozen.
It's like a puppet with a human being manipulated.
And the whole city of Miro is a super-large puppet theater.
