Pivot of the Sky

Medanzo's armor and weapons sparkled in the sun, riding a horse to the square in front of the temple, and all eyes were immediately drawn to him, causing a whispering riot. Mayor Ditch walked up quickly and bowed politely: "Are you here to help us rescue Princess Xiao Xi, a knight from a foreign country? ”

Medanzo bowed his horse: “My name is Medanzo, and I live in Wangdu, a Class IV samurai. Love traveling all over the continent, looking forward to legendary heroes, dreaming that one day you can build your own work! I heard you recruited warriors in town, so I came to you with weapons. ”

The prostitutes in town were crowded and watched the crowd, and several flowers and branches proudly said to the people beside them: "Look, that handsome hero, he was the one we were with last night! ”

It is somewhat disappointing to see Medanzo dressed like a great samurai, but to introduce himself as just a fourth-level samurai. Still, Ditch is happy that the more one person has, the better the weapon, the stronger the fighting power. He himself is a level 5 samurai and the only middle-class samurai in town, and now has another Medanzo.

Mayor Ditch himself grabbed the reins: “I, the town, the state and the whole kingdom will thank you.... Is this warrior with you?” He hasn't forgotten to walk with another horse to Amon behind Medanzo when he talks.

"He, a friend of mine, is a level 5 middle-class warrior, but his temper is modest and he doesn't like Zhang Yang. He also took the initiative to rescue Princess Xiaoxi this time. ”

If he doesn't, one might think of Amon as his servant, who often has more than one horse on the Cavalier Marching Continent, and Amon, with his branches behind him, is much like a servant. Medanzo is so bright in armor, and the accompanying outfit isn't too sour, and the soft-bottomed leather boots are wearing beautiful fur coats. The idea of having Amon pretend to be a servant was originally made by Medanzo, but he didn't say that Amon was his servant, and temporarily changed his mind to be a friend.

I can't believe there's another level 5 samurai! "You look like a noble hermit and thank you for your help," Dickie said to Ammon. "The town and the state of Kish will thank you again. … please rest in the temple, my clerk will explain the arrangements for the operation in detail and the horses will be cared for exclusively. ”

When Medanzo suddenly changed his mouth, Amon just smiled and didn't say much. He joined Medanzo in the Temple of Marduk in the town of Acad. The Registrar arranged for the servants to rest, eat up and wait for the departure in the evening, while recruitment in the outside square continued.

Amon sat in the temple lounge drinking soup and eating pastries, chewing slowly and listening to the town's registrar, Dirk, introduce the action plan. Both he and Medanzo were middle-class samurai, especially respected and valued among a group of people, whom the Registrar was basically introducing. Amon was about to interrupt something, and when he looked up, he stunned, because he saw a “acquaintance” - not an acquaintance, but a god he had known since he was a child.

The main god dedicated to the main hall of this temple is, of course, Marduk, and there are sculptures of many gods on a wall in the side hall, including a goddess, the former patron saint of Duke Town, Mu Yun. Duke Town had a temple dedicated to the Goddess of Mu Yun, and Amon knew her idols long ago, but after that devastating disaster, he had no desire to remember too much.

But here he suddenly saw the embroidery of the Mu Yun Goddess. He suddenly figured out one thing. Why did he feel so familiar when he first met Yoon Nanna? Turns out she looked like the Mu Yun Goddess! The muddy and dignified statue is hard to relate to a vivid, fragrant girl, but her face and figure really resemble the Mu Yun Goddess.

Amon is here to save Yin Nanna. She reacted with some thought. Then she wondered why Princess Xiaoxi of the Kingdom of Baron looked so Mu Yun Goddess. Is it a coincidence? If the Baron royal family claims to be descendants of gods in the world, then the Moulin Goddess may also be the ancestor of Princess Xiaoxi, so it can be explained.

……

Just as Amon watched the idols faint, another line of five people arrived in the square in front of the temple, headed by a magician with a staff! Behind them is a young magician and three armed samurai.

Without waiting for them to approach, Mayor Ditch has separated the crowd from the past: “Dear Mage, forgive my mayor's disrespect for not knowing you were in town. … have you heard about what happened in town and come to help? ”

They were just a group of passers-by who lived in the inn and did not reveal that there were magicians among them, who only revealed their identities at this moment. The head middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Are you the mayor here? Very well done! I am Jackay, a level 6 magician from Wangdu. This is my student, Elliot, a level 3 magician. These three are my companions, all middle class samurai. I heard Princess Xiao Xi is in danger. The mayor recruited warriors to come to the rescue, so I can help! ”

Jacques revealed a special nameplate in the speech room. Although there was no name written on it, it was sufficient to prove his identity. It was a sign of a teacher at the Barron Academy of Theology. It was also a credential for entering and leaving many places at the Academy of Theology. It had a theological mark on it that could be identified.

The mayor of Dickie was ecstatic, and Happy almost didn't jump! Yesterday he thought he was the worst man in the world. How could this happen somehow? But this afternoon, he almost thought he was the luckiest man in the world. Zhang Zheng was recruited to find out that the dragon tiger hidden in Arcade Town. At once, two magicians arrived, and five more mid-level samurai were added!

Originally, there was only one middle-class warrior in the town of Aqad, and only one third-class and one first-class theologian in the temple. The power to assemble the entire town was no more than twenty lower-order warriors. Recruitment this afternoon has greatly increased their strength, especially the noble Lord Jackay, who is a teacher of theology at Wangdu Academy of Theology and a completely different identity from ordinary theologians.

Six-level magician, you can already perform high-ranking theology, only one step away is the great magician. When Jacques introduced himself, he heard about the killing of Humbaba by Gilgamesh and Enqidu in Wangdu, and took students and several friends to the Battlefield of the Little Bottom River to visit the remnants of that war. The magician did not lie, and their pedestrians did, passing Acad town.

……

At sunset, a strange convoy departed from the town of Aqad, loaded with all sorts of materials, like a long distance move, while the horse and convoy escort were sworn samurai, armed with all sorts of weapons. Behind the convoy are camels and horses, the team walks quickly, all look serious, and some samurai are excited.

It is said that this much material should be transported using a double wagon with a wider body, but most of the cars in this convoy are light and sturdy, and only one is very narrow, so there are many cars. There are also a few very lightweight double carriages in the team that can run quickly with the best horses, leaving one every other section of the way, with dedicated guards no longer following the team.

This is where Mayor Ditch thought carefully and safely, if he rescued Princess Xiao Xi and clashed with the giant tribe, he would escort her to flee in the first place. Knights can change horses, but the noble princess needs to ride in the car. If she gets hurt, she needs to be treated in the car. Changing the car along the way can guarantee the fastest speed, so get the car ready in advance.

Ammon was watching all of this, and he was admired by the mayor, and this emergency, for the mayor, was like a fall in the sky, Ditch? Weekly dispositions are not disruptive and best possible under the prevailing conditions.

The most mysterious and precious of the "important people" in this team are, of course, Jacques and others, the most prestigious and powerful of course, Medanzo, and the lowest of all, Amon. And lead the team, Ditch? In addition to his worries and nervousness, Zhou also had a little excitement and impulse. He didn't know who Princess Xiao Xi was, but the beautiful demonic girl fascinated him and even wanted to pursue her.

Knowing that she was Princess Xiao Xi had cut off all possibilities of intimacy, but there was an opportunity. With such a team, he succeeded in rescuing Princess Xiao Xi, perhaps gaining the favor of a beauty, which is a hero's work. Although he would not be foolish enough to compete with Gilgamesh for his fiancée, nor would he have any undue delusions, it would be a great honour in itself to receive the princess's favor and praise, not to mention the award of the city state and the king's capital.

In fact, many of the samurai in the team have similar thoughts, so there is unknown excitement in the fear that at this moment, they may all imagine themselves as the enlightenment to slaughter Humbaba.

Amon and Medanzo have two horses, both good horses, pulling a car is not the same as a horse riding a battle, but they can barely handle it in this rush. Mayor Ditch gave them another horse to ride on the road, and three horses to ride. One of the two was always resting. People can drive overnight, but animals can't stand it, and the whole team needs to stay at its best.

Amon also noticed that one of Jackay's leading travellers was a young man with a special identity that was clearly more honorable than the others. Though he was merely an obedient figure, the other four people were intangibly very respectful towards him, and their faces were inadvertently cautious, whether changing horses or drinking water, taking care of the young man first.

This young man, who calls himself Yuleto, is an aristocratic samurai of Wang Du. It seems that his identity is by no means simple. After Amon discovered this, he also quietly reminded Medanzo. In fact, his own identity is the same. If Medanzo doesn't change his mind, he can follow as a servant, and an inadvertent detail can be revealed, depending on whether anyone notices it or not.

The team left overnight and briefly paused for a short break in the morning. Everyone was full of food and drink and moved forward immediately. Moving on, Amon understood why most of the convoys were light, narrow carriages, because the roads were rugged after entering the mountains, and only such carriages could barely pass, sometimes requiring the help of samurai to push through difficult sections of the road.

At noon, when the sun was warmest, the convoy took a short break, and by this time it had entered the deep mountains, a valley path between the steep mountain peaks, gradually deepening and gradually rising. The surrounding peaks are huge, with an unspeakable sense of oppression, the atmosphere is getting tense, no one talks anymore, and always be vigilant in the possession of weapons.

The weather in the Syrian plateau is much colder than in the valley of the young bottom, and the colder it feels to walk up the mountain, the samurai can't help but wrap their clothes around it. Most of the barbarians who live here are taller and more powerful than ordinary people, not without communication with the outside world, and many highland giants even accept recruitment to the nearby kingdoms as mercenaries. Gabriel was ambushed by the Governor's Guard in Syria City State, including two plateau giants trained in martial arts.

The inhabitants of the Titans of the Plateau are not all so-called Titans, just as the people of the Dwarf tribe in which Link is located are not so-called Dwarves, but the extraordinarily tall and strong ones are indeed like giants. The Assyrian kingdom north of the plateau even has a dedicated battlefield of giants that recruits and selects such people for specialized training, a small but absolutely elite number.

Years ago, some of them were dispersed in the fighting and fled back to the tribes of the deep mountains to teach the people what they had learned. So the mighty highland giant tribes also have samurai who practice physical arts, combined with natural overpower, are really hard to deal with.

Princess Xiao Xi's guard was not weak, but she was just out to play, not to fight, it was impossible to play with the great magician, she was surrounded by two middle class magicians, and there was also a 7th level big samurai, the one who rushed out of the mountain with the wounded message, the other eight were also middle class samurai. But warriors in the tribe of the Titans of the Plateau will use a bow sword, with great power and great range, and the magicians will be surrounded and dangerous.

Not all highland giants are well trained, and fortunately only a few have had physical success, most of whom use bows and arrows, but generally do not work as well as battlefields. But this was a special occasion, where several of the most powerful giant tribes in the neighborhood came together to act together, which was a little strange.

You can't fight them into a hard battle surrounded by sieges, don't be in a position where bows and arrows can shoot you in several directions, pay attention to the terrain, and don't be forced into a Jedi with no way out. - Mayor Ditch explained the story in detail and arranged various responses. But nothing else happened along the way, not even the Titans of the Plateau saw one.

After this afternoon, the convoy made a difficult climb onto a steep mountain road, reaching an open area of the hilltop plateau and finally meeting the other side to greet them. They are a group of tall men, almost everyone is in the same shape as Amon had seen Enchi, with heavy weapons such as sticks, hammers, iron forks and so on, wearing messy animal leather clothes, and seeing the convoy up the mountain sent a messy cheer, a delightful look.

Dickie got off the bus, Medanzo got off the horse, and walked with Amon, left and right, to protect the mayor, and Jackay, the sixth level magician, followed the mayor of Dickie, who maintained a very cautious formation, while the others remained on guard by the convoy.

Ditch Zhou shouted, “Are you the tribe that besieges the princess of the kingdom? I've got everything I need! Who is the chief? Tell him to come out and talk to me. ”

The voices of the people who came up were hard, and they shouted, "We're all chiefs! Just bring the stuff and give it to us. ”

Ditch Zhou Lian shook his head: “Even kidnapping doesn't make such a ransom! This is your turf, and I have traveled a long way to deliver everything, demonstrating complete sincerity. At least you'll have to let me see the princess and know she's safe before you hand her over. ”

“Princess? He wants to see the princess?”, “No, he wants to negotiate!”, “Aren't we ready to negotiate?”, “Oh, let's talk!” These dozen plateau giants have been talking for half a day, and then beating Ditch? Zhou shouted, "Kidnapping needs to be negotiated, right? We both know! … come here, the tents are ready in front. ”

Don't say that the first time Amon saw such a scene, even the mayor of Dickie, who had dealt with the Titans of the Plateau and knew their temper, was puzzled. Is there anything else? Now that everyone is here, let's go talk, or the four of them walked past. The young man named Yuleto wanted to go "negotiate” with him, but Ditch and Jackie both let him guard the convoy.

On the way, Mayor Ditch assigned everyone their own tasks. The young man named Yuleto was mainly responsible for rescuing the princess and quickly escorting her away. The other two middle-ranking samurai were accompanied by a magician to protect her, and the heavily armed Medanzo and others were given cover after her breakdown. I'm sure the mayor also saw Yule as extraordinary, even more honorable than Jacques.

Not far ahead, there is definitely a tent on an open lot outside the woods, big and classy, made of expensive snow leopard leather on the plain, very pretty. Such a tent rests in the mountains, and even the beast dares not come close to see it from afar. If you look closely at it, it looks rough and messy.

Walk into the tent, with tables and stools in place, made of logs, sturdy and clumsy. A short man greeted him and bowed: "Is this Mayor Ditch from Arcade? My name is Eucil. I'm a representative of the United Tribes here. Do we have everything we need? ”

This man has a clean mouth. He doesn't look like any other plateau giant with a simple head and developed limbs. In fact, he is not short, almost as tall as Ditch, but he stands in a group of tall tribal people and looks like a dwarf. Eucil's round head, round eyes, round nose, not laughing is also a grinning expression, it looks funny.

Amon noticed that Eucil's waist was separated by a stick, very much like a cane. It was really a cane to feel carefully. Although it could not get into Amon's eyes, it was also a good thing for ordinary magicians.
