Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 136: 135, The Poor in Duke Town

The Uruk Regiment retreated quietly last night, pulling out camps, cleaning up the battlefield very neatly and leaving little trace in silence. Amon had just woken up unaware of the details and sat there for half a day after hearing the news. He had witnessed the death of Enchi capital and the desperate rescue of Gilgamesh, and he could also appreciate the mood of the city owner at this moment.

Gilgamesh vanished his ambition and left with a deep wound.

The general thought that the general command wound had not recovered, felt a little dizzy, did not speak for a moment, several great magicians simultaneously engaged in prayer magic for him. In fact, four major magicians in the army had already been treated by Amon on a rotating basis last night. There was nothing better to heal than resting and restoring the wounds of the Commander-in-Chief.

Amon waved, “My lords, I'm fine, I don't have to waste any more energy.” The retreat of the Uruk Legion was then asked, including what was left of the camp, what was the size of the retreat and how was the army formation organized? Finally, several orders were issued.

Five regiments, Horus, Isis, Ann-La, Sete and Gabe, which were mixed in during the Great War, restored their former formations and allowed their heads to reconfigure their ranks. At that point, it became apparent that the army was disorganized, with the exception of the newly arrived and weakest Geb regiment, which experienced only a small loss of final duel, the rest of the regiment had lost half its strength even after a long war.

Amon himself remains the head of the Ann-La Legion and remains wounded in Red Cape Town. Former Front Commander John has not returned to the front line, temporarily appointing Gabriel to lead the Ann-La Legion, following the withdrawal route of the Uruk Legion and “sending" them out of the country. Isis and the Horus Legion cover the left and right flanks, converging and clamping once engaged.

Rhode-Dick led the remnants of the Sete Legion and organized a retreat to the rear of the population to return to their homes. The Gabe Legion is responsible for taking over the entire army and organizing munitions logistics. Amon's orders made it clear that if the Uruk Legion withdrew from Ecuadorian territory on its own, it would not engage, and that the Ann-La Legion would follow it beyond the borders and look away at them in the desert.

Amon doesn't want to fight anymore, so does Gilgamesh. If we don't fight the Uruk Legion, we will withdraw. Why do we have to kill and injure the swordsmen again? If pushed too hard, Gilgamesh returned to God and fought back with anger at all costs, which had to be compensated for Ecu. The formation of the Uruk Legion is undisturbed, but retreat is not a flight.

Ammon sent a large army to send the Uruk Regiment far away, while Rhode-Dick sent his men behind to clean up the lost ground, and much remained to be done to rehabilitate. Amon also ordered the sending of two documents, one to the Pharaoh newspaper "Jie” in the rear and the other to the Uruk Legion of Condolence and Enlightenment capital, in memory of the first samurai of the continent and in consolation of Gilgamesh.

The Registrar was surprised to hear the Commander-in-Chief's order and, although he was good at various words, did not know how to write the instrument, so he deliberately asked the Commander-in-Chief what he meant. Amon replied with no expression: "Whoever his opponent is, Enchi died on the battlefield, a respected samurai. How can you write a eulogy if we have such a samurai in our regiment? Write whatever you want, except for the words that glorify the gods. ”

The Registrar's face was bitter and he dared not ask anything more. Rhode-Dick happened to be at the side of the conversation: “Lord Commander, leave this matter to me, without compromising the dignity of you and the Ecumenical Empire or expressing the morale you deserve. ”

Rhode-Dick himself wrote a poem of remembrance, praising the strength and courage of Enlightenment, and mentioning the important achievements of his life, ordering a man to be engraved on a gold plate and sent to the Uruk barracks. Bookboards made of pure gold engraved with eulogy, the most solemn form of condolence among the nobles.

Condolences such as the death of some nobles and the possible distress of their families are also a disguised form of financing. Gold boards symbolize the achievements of our ancestors, and even if anything is done, the property is confiscated, these things are not confiscated. Some offspring may not be able to wipe off their faces and melt the plates into gold, so when sending the plates, they are held in a gold tray. Even if the plates are retained, the plates are heavy gold.

Over time, this became the most solemn courtesy of mourning among the nobles, with the possibility of bribes being offered, while others did not ask for anything but sincere condolences. This is what Rhode-Dick does for Amon today, and although Enlightenment no longer needs this gold, it deserves this respect.

Amon was the strongest and most respectable rival to Amon Pingsheng, despite his death.

As for the clerk's short newspaper to Pharaoh, which is naturally western-spilled and flower-wrapped, he also wrote two copies in divine and secular languages, with a slight difference in content and format. With the blessing of the great god Horus, Ecuda's army fought courageously to defeat the mighty army of Uruk, defeating countless enemies and unloading the armor thrown at them by Gilgamesh's army.

That barbaric samurai, Enchidu, died of the wrath of the gods. Lord Amon, the commander in chief, came to the front-line first of the first fights, his fighting spirit and heroic and fearless spirit summoned the gods, lowered the curse and punishment, and killed Enqidu in the Great War. Lord Amon was badly injured, but he persisted in commanding the battle on the front line until after winning, when he threw up a bloody syncope.

In fact, there is no need for the Registrar to deliberately propagate that tens of thousands of sergeants have seen what happened on the battlefield with their own eyes and that suspicions have spread throughout the military. Horus did show up during the battle between Amon and Enchidu. As for the black whirlpool and thunderbolt later, it should also be a miracle. It was the chief commander Amon who summoned the gods with the combative will to burn, which can only be explained!

After two wars with the Khati Army and the Uruk Legion, Amon's prestige in the Ecuadorian Army was at one point unrivalled, and his prestige even extended far beyond the countries of the continent. After the final three fights with the Uruk Legion, this commander was able to summon the spirits and become a warrior god in the mind of General Echo! Amon's own reputation even outweighs that of the gods in invisibility, especially in such clandestine forces as the Angelan Legion.

The Uruk Regiment withdrew quickly, leaving the border to cross the desert and return to Uruk City State, while the Ann-La Regiment not only pushed the border, but only returned to its division in the middle of the desert. Such a battle is naturally regarded by Pharaoh Racis II as a great victory!

The Special Envoy was also sent by Pharaoh to ask if he could take advantage of the retreat of the Uruk army to kill the desert and punish the other party for its acts of aggression. Fortunately, the Pharaoh was only asking questions, not giving orders directly. At last, he was not completely unconscious. The front-line generals were unanimous in their bid to persuade Pharaoh to accept it.

After a long war, the soldiers will be exhausted and in urgent need of rest and recuperation. Soldiers can still fight when they are under pressure, but now that their strong enemies have been severely traumatized, they can no longer carry out expeditions for a short time. Neither the general nor the ministers beside Pharaoh agreed to continue the expedition, which had preserved the face of the Egyptian Empire, and if the expedition failed, it would be a real loss to the power of the nation.

Without support, the Pharaoh himself was unable to enter the battle in person and had to dispel the idea and order a grand celebration ceremony in Cape Town State.

The war was over and the generals eagerly awaited their early return, and Amon was exercising command of the battlefield in the month before the Uruk legions had withdrawn from the border with Baron. He was lazy enough to stay in Cape Red Town in the name of his injuries and did not follow the army to the border.

There are clerics in the army, and with Amon's current reputation, he can even call the Great Magician to take turns to heal himself, but his wounds have nothing to heal. He was not sick or in pain, his body was intact, and his brilliant prayer could only make him sober and healthier, and he was already strong enough as a great samurai.

Ammon, however, has lost strength, not feeling exhausted or overtired, nor tired and weak as over-exploitation of strength and energy. As a great samurai, he still maintains a strong body and agile hands, as well as much more strength and endurance than ordinary people. As a great magician, the finesse of perception is better than ever and can still be practiced as usual. Instead of losing his achievements, his achievements have been deeper.

The so-called "high depth" refers to the sense that Amon can experience in his normal walking and sitting room, but only in the meditation of divinity. This is the realm that a level 8 magician can achieve, and only then can he be able to do whatever he wants with instant high-order divinity.

But on the other hand, apart from detecting sensory abilities like theology, Ammon can't run a spell. Apart from its own power, Ammon cannot communicate with the energy between the heavens and the earth as usual. He lost the magical power he had always relied on, which felt like a bird used to flying, but without wings he could only walk on his feet.

Amon was confused, and all this happened after Enlightenment died. When the black whirlpool tore open, his strange sensing power remained out of control and he was so focused on studying what was happening on the battlefield that his powers were exhausted that he was injured. And now that the wound has healed, the strength has not recovered. Is it a strange, unknown wound?

People say that Enlightenment died of the divine punishment of Horus, but Amon has seen more and certainly more questions. Had Horus been able to destroy Enlightenment Capital in this way, the first time a giant cloud eagle appeared, it would not have been dispersed by Enlightenment Capital's sword, greatly frustrating the morale of the Ecumenical Formation.

The last sentence of Enchidu was addressed to Gilgamesh - “This is not the curse of the gods, but the judgment of fate!” Amon has been thinking about what it means.

Unfortunately, he did not have the answers and did not know when his strength would be restored. He still persisted in the practice of divine meditation every day as usual, feeling that he had broken through a level of boundaries and was unable to use his abilities. This situation reminds Amon of his origins, as if he were a poor man in the town of Duke.

Today, Amon is a knowledgeable, and no longer the ignorant country teenager, with a lot of emotions in his memory. The former town of Duke should be the richest place on the continent, finding a worn wrecked miner can be compared to wealthy traders in various cities and states, but they can't afford it.

The Duke town, which is enclosed in the wilderness, is extremely scarce and the land is very poor. The merchants are only transporting some of the people's biological goods, and there is no such thing as rich enjoyment. A bottle of wine there is dozens of times more expensive than the outside, and there are no other products besides meat and clothing. Miners have only a large number of sacred stones and cannot leave without permission.

Amon walked out of Duke, but today he faces the same situation as if he were entering a strange circle. As an Imperial General, he has been bestowed the heaviest bounty, with a vast territory and the prestige to deter the continent, famous and rich and compelling. But in this unparalleled glory, he finds himself in the greatest predicament.

It is not these positions and riches that sustain him to this day; he has been exploring the path to becoming a god and unlocking the secrets of the god. Not long ago he had determined that his attempts were right and that the road was at his feet, but now he was facing a test that was unknown. Once again, Amon felt that the secrets of the gods themselves were far from being solved, and that what Enchidu said to Gilgamesh was also a reminder to him.

It may be too early for Ammon to think about it, at least to get out of the immediate situation. The biggest trouble he faced was his own danger, and now he lost his power to defend himself despite his heights and appeared to be surrounded by crises. Amon was fearless in the face of any predicament, but now? If he loses his power, can he still guide the people back home, can't even protect himself, can he still have this ability?

Whoever is in this situation is inevitably over-considered, and Amon is no exception. As one body and mind, Ammon experiences that sense of integration, which can change a person, so at this moment, will he lose his former self? Just the night before we were going to meet Pharaoh in the rear, Amon was still meditating quietly under the starlight, looking calm and calm, but actually feeling a little restless.

Amon felt the inner restlessness, closed his eyes and even felt the stars on the screen flashing, finally sighing slowly and opening his eyes, then saw Schrödinger squatting in front of him.

Amon didn't reach out to hug it. When he thought about the cat's divine identity, he was always a little embarrassed. At least it was a goddess who held him in his arms for several years. Schrödinger said, "Amon, your soul is full of confusion. Is it the death of Enqidu that frustrates you? ”

Amon sighed: “As a samurai, Gregory once said, Enlightenment is the best hope to transcend the existence of mortal man. How can it not be discouraged that he is as powerful as he is but still destroyed? The arrogant Gilgamesh witnessed the death of Enqidu, and without a fighting heart, I understood him very well. ”

Schrödinger said not slowly: "No one knows better than me what you're thinking and doing, and I know all your secrets. In your search for the path to becoming a god, Nietzsche and Bell gave you the initial guidance, and you finally saw hope in your lonely quest. But the death of Enqidu is a blow to you. Are you thinking about bearing the same fate? ”

Ammon nodded silently: "Yes, I'm not hiding you! I'm afraid that being able to have a direct conversation with your soul today is all I have left, and I've lost extraordinary power. ”

The cat crooked his head and looked at him, in the tone of a prompt: "Amon, do you have any questions for me? Don't think, just say the biggest question in your heart. ”

Amon: “I wonder what the judgment of fate is when Enlightenment comes to an end? ”

Schrödinger's fleece was slightly chaotic, and his body trembled as if to say, “That's the real self you're going to face. It can't fool anybody. It's a fate decision, it's a doomsday trial. Amon, you don't have to think about it, you just have to find your way, even if you know it doesn't make sense. Understanding is too clear to go that far. ”

Amon questioned in confusion: "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Schrödinger: "Man is a prisoner of life. This is the plight of the prisoner. What would you do if someone told you that not eating is the path to eternal life? ”

Amon smiled bitterly: "First of all, I can't starve to death. It doesn't make sense to say that. ”

The cat's face is smiling like a human being: “So you don't have to ask, I once told Bel, I believe Bel told Nietzsche, and Nietzsche should have told you, just remember what Nietzsche said. … the power you cultivate to face today's choices is one of the questions of destiny. To be a god, you must first answer a question: Who are you, just that power? ”

Upon hearing Schrödinger's words, Amon suddenly remembered the last message of the old madman in the eyes of the earth: "Become a great magician, you will possess unprecedented power, which blends physically and mentally as if born. But one day you may face a dilemma: is everything you own you, and if so, who is it? Why are you, if you lose all this, will you lose yourself too? This is my last tip to you, and I'm sorry I can't teach you more. Good luck, son! ” ”

This is clearly a description of his current situation and a reminder of how he should face it. Nietzsche's greatest achievement in his life was that of an eight-level magician, who obviously went through this test, which was the last point he could leave to Ammon. Strangely, there is no similar explicit record in the Divine Training Book of the Temple of Isis.

Amon closed his eyes, silently meditated for a long time, echoing what was meant by Nietzsche's conversation, while Schrödinger kept squatting in front of him. When the sky was bright, Amon finally opened his eyes and held Schrödinger up like he used to, touching his furry back: “Thank you, though I don't know how to restore strength, at least to keep the soul from agitating. ”

Instead, Schrödinger felt embarrassed and jumped out of Ammon's arms, trembling and slipping away. Its voice came again in Ammon's mind: "I warned you, welcoming the breakthrough in achievement, this is the test to be faced, I don't know whether to congratulate you or comfort you, you yourself know the imminent peril. ”
