Pivot of the Sky

Gregory twisted his beard gently: "Whoever succeeds and assumes power in the Assyrian Empire must first maintain its stability and control the situation. The assassination of the emperor is a big deal. If the response is not good, it is likely to provoke mutiny. In order to prevent civil unrest, it is also necessary to show strength to the outside world and prevent being attacked in secret. The layout of heavy military pressure is inevitable, and whether this battle can be fought depends on the attitude of the Kingdom of Baron. ”

Prince von Nyu nodded: "Once the news of Sinah's assassination has spread, the Kingdom of Baron will surely thrive! The expansion of Assyrian forces has reached its limits, and the vast areas occupied behind the front need to be consolidated. In fact, this period has been marked by the inability to continue large-scale warfare, as can be seen at the highest levels in all countries.

But the ordinary population and the soldiers felt different. Sinah's brutality was horrifying. He was told that he had waved his army to death and that, at times, before engaging in war, the urban population had fled and the city guard had collapsed. Today, however, the situation has changed, and the confidence of the population is being mustered to consolidate the Lisbon Line. I will send envoys in the name of the King to offer condolences to the Assyrian Empire and Queen Semir, not to stimulate them for the time being and not to provoke excuses for war. ”

Song nodded: “That's it, since you have this arrangement, we have accomplished the purpose of assassinating Sinah. I left Syria City as a guest in the name of Salem City, but went all the way to Lisbon, and brought Wallet, the high priest of Syria City and my student, here. It's not too short to leave, we're going back. ”

The archdeacon was very simple. After saying this, he rose to bid farewell, and everyone walked out of the curtain to deliver. Before Gore came, he looked at Feng Niu and Princess Xiao Xi with great care and finally said: “I heard that Hamorabi II is very ill. Whoever succeeds to the Baron throne should be at ease. The turmoil of the Heavenly Pivot is never over. ”

Everyone stood in the open space and watched as Gore flew away with Wallet, while Rumour Leo did not walk with them and still stood behind Amon. Princess Xiao Xi suddenly asked: "Feng Niu, you said you didn't want to excite the Assyrian Empire at the moment, but the assassin was Jill, everyone knew he was a hero of the Kingdom of Baron, and the Assyrian Empire couldn't have gone after the assassin to give his people a confession, how would you deal with it? ”

Prince Feng Nyu bites his teeth: “It's not easy! If you can't find Jill, nobody knows his whereabouts. Diplomatically, take him down the stairs. Is there anyone else who dares to go deeper into the kingdom of Baron to find Jill? With heroes like Jill, the morale of the military and the people will rise, and the Kingdom of Baron is not really in awe of war. ”

Gilgamesh waved: "If the Assyrian Empire is really going to track down the murderer, you tell them that the Kingdom of Baron will assist in the pursuit, and let them send someone to me. It's up to luck to find them! Since I left Uruk City State, the affairs of the Continental Powers have had nothing to do with me, and this assassination of Sinah was nothing more than a favor to Amon God. Gore's gone, so should I. ”

Princess Xiao Xi mumbled: “Jill, are you leaving me alone again? ”

Gilgamesh turned to look at her and said, "Am I walking alone, just looking at your decision, Princess? ”

Prince Feng Nyu hastily intervened: "My aunt, His Majesty the King is very ill and the Kingdom is waiting for you to return to preside over the event. When the current wind wave is over, you and Jill will be able to show up publicly and become heroes of the kingdom until then..."

Princess Xiao Xi interrupted his words: "My nephew, after all this, everything in the court has nothing to do with me, I hope that you will become a productive monarch in the future.” He walked up to Gilgamesh and said to him, “Gil, take me with you. ”

Gilgamesh made a very handsome invitation gesture: "My princess, please get in the car! ”

Princess Xiao Xi said, “Jill, wait a minute! ”

She went back to the curtain, picked up the bottle and poured it all over her. She walked out to Medanzo with her hands and bowed down and passed the glass: "My hero, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you! Before proceeding, please let Xiao Xi toast you to a drink. ”

The expression on Medanzo's face was unclear, and he took the glass and drank it all, and it was a handsome gesture: "Your Highness, wish you and Jill a safe journey. ”

Gilgamesh left with Princess Xiao Xi in a carriage and quickly disappeared into the distant mountains. They became a mainland legend. People didn't know where Jil and Xiao Xi had gone, but different stories spread around.

When they left, Medanzo looked at the vanished carriage and looked at the lonely white horse on the empty ground, as if he had spoken to himself: “No matter what I did, it wasn't him!” A few of them were lonely in tone.

One hand rests on his shoulder, only to hear Amon smile and say, "Of course you're not him. You're yourself in this world all your life. But after all, you witnessed him, you witnessed their stories, you understand? ”

When Medanzo heard something, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. The moment was a bit of a trance. Amon's hand on his shoulder held his arm smoothly and said with a laugh: "Do you feel it? Your time is up! ”

What does Amon mean? What time is it? With enough power and cultivation, Medanzo is finally experiencing a lifelong state of mind that is about to break the test of Level 9 achievement. Ammon ordered Medanzo to return immediately to the Garden of Eden, not to re-enter the world without breaking the test, and to allow Leo to escort the cloud dreams and rumors.

Cloud Dream asked: "Amon God, we're all gone. Where are you going? ”

Amon God smiled at Prince von Nyu and said: "When I went to Barren City, I didn't have a chance to climb the famous all-terrain tower on the mainland. I wondered if the guardian clergy under the tower could let me go. ”

Von Nyu shrugged and immediately reacted, Amon, this is going to meet Marduk, who is said to be able to summon the god directly to the Palace of Man outside Barren City on the top of the sky tower. It's just a legend. Nobody has the guts to try that, but Amon, as a god, can go to Marduk. He bowed down and said, "Are you going to Barron City? It is an honor to be with you, Feng Nyu! ”

……

Amon accompanied Prince Von Nyu to Barren City, while General Robin left the West Bank to lead the army in defense. He was not only the Legion Leader of the Barren Legion, but Von Nyu appointed him temporarily as Commander-in-Chief of the Line of Defense. As for Feng Nyu himself, he could not stay on the front line, because the king was seriously ill and he must be ready for succession at all times.

Princess Xiao Xi has given up the idea of competing for the throne and left with Gilgamesh. Whatever will Hamorabi II makes, only Prince Feng Nyu is now in control of the Baron kingdom.

Gregory was absolutely right, and the Assyrian Empire's urgent mobilization of troops to the Reese River border the day after Sinah's assassination and confrontation with General Robin's Baron army across the river were all highly guarded. At present, the two countries are in a state of peace, the movement of the army appears unusual, and the emergency deployment of the Assyrian army appears to be hasty, only to do the same thing.

Prince von Nyu had been following the news of the Assyrian Empire on his way back to the city, and it was impossible for the Assyrian Empire not to disclose such a great deal about the assassination of Sinah. If Gilgamesh were to be declared an assassin, Prince von Nyu was ready to deal with the Assyrian messenger. The news of the assassination of Sinah three days later was the announcement of Queen Samir of Regent, but Feng Nyu was somewhat surprised.

Sinah, the invincible Assyrian Emperor, was said to have been badly wounded in a battle and is being nurtured in the Walking Palace of Lisbon State. As for the “enemy” who fought him, there was no mention of Gilgamesh in the proclamation of the Assyrian Empire, nor of Grey and Medanzo et al., but only the name of one god, the Amon God.

Sinahmin was punched in the face by Gilgamesh. Ammon didn't even touch his finger. Why is this hat on Ammon's head? Such an announcement by Semir naturally has her considerations, regardless of who she hates in her heart, starting from the position she is in today, first and foremost to preserve the stability of the situation in the Assyrian Empire and not to be plunged into chaos by the assassination of Sinah.

From the Imperial Proclamation, there is no mention of how badly Sinah was injured, giving the impression that he could recover after treatment. Managing the situation in the Assyrian Empire must also preserve the glory of this great emperor, drawing on the prestige of Sinah. The invincible Assyrian Emperor can only be wounded by a god without compromising his prestige and the strength of the Empire! Even if it wasn't Amon, it had to be Amon.

The proclamation claimed that there was an astonishing war between Sinah the Great and Amon God, who, although wounded, had severely traumatized the god and had to flee. There is a bit of truth in it, Amon did get hurt and escaped from the battlefield to the West Bank of the River Reese, but that was not Sinah's fault.

There is another consideration for not mentioning the name of the song. What is the dignity of the Assyrian Empire if it is spoken out publicly and not pursued? But if we want to pursue it, as Grey in the Kingdom of Hati, I am afraid it also means provoking a dispute between the two countries, and the Assyrian Empire currently has no room to attack Hati again. Though Sinah the Great had this plan, it was only a wish for the future.

Sinah's brutal and murderous Herr, no matter how many people on this continent hate it, whoever assassinates Sinah will become a hero of praise and sincere gratitude to all, with unimaginable glory. Now all this glory belongs to Amon alone. Even his disciple, Medanzo, has no share in it. I wonder what kind of bitter smile Amon will show when he hears it?

But no one in the high ranks of the Assyrian Empire in Lisbon can laugh right now, only they know how badly Sinah was hurt, rather than he was alive, a walking corpse that could only breathe. According to the message from the palace, King Sinah, though unable to move or speak, has not completely lost consciousness, and only the wise master can communicate with His Majesty by magical means in his soul.

At present, Sinah is being guarded day and night in the palace by the Sage Master of the State by clerics, who alternately perform the divine arts to sustain his life.

Empire executives are concerned about one thing at the moment. Who will Emperor Sinah pass on? Whatever will he makes, it seems that only Faust can convey it at this time. There is one thing that some people doubt, and Sinah the Great is not conscious, but if Faust speaks in this name, it becomes an order of the Great Emperor, even a will can be fabricated. But suspicion makes it difficult for anyone to question it publicly, because Queen Semir, the Regent, has great faith in the wise master.

Sinah was assassinated far from the Assyrian mainland with the city of Doris, and suddenly, the Assyrian Empire was left without a leader, when the wise master, Lord Faust, conveyed the message of the Emperor himself to Queen Semir to regent. If not unexpectedly, Samir will be in charge of the empire in the future.

Whoever wants to take control of the situation in the Assyrian Empire must deal with three forces. Firstly, a group of priests representing the divine power, most importantly with the support of the wise master Faust, who is fully supportive of Semir. Secondly, the military forces could not be transformed at this time, and Semir immediately redeployed Reichstag to the State of Lisbon in order to take control of the military power in the name of the counter-attack by the Kingdom of Baron.

Third-party forces are the empire's bureaucratic aristocracy, and whoever they support, the first choice is to defend their interests, to watch the wind choosing the station, and most speculators are also looking at the attitude of the clergy and the military. As long as Sinah is still breathing alive, Samir's Regent is not barrier-free. But everyone cares about the same thing. Will Sinah die and when?

Late that night, two people were secretly in the palace, Faust and Semir. Samir sits in the center of this inner palace in the original position of Sinah, and Faust Minh has a seat, but he has been standing and bowing his body.

Just listen to Semir ask: "When can you sustain His Majesty's life? ”

Faust replied: "If the priest does his best to take turns, there will be no problem for six months, and I can even keep him alive.” Thinking about it, he carefully added: “Your Majesty cannot wake up and he can die at any time. It is up to you to decide when he will leave the world. ”

Samir's face was sad: "His life no longer belongs to him, but is symbolic for others. He must remain alive until the situation stabilizes. He pursued the cause of Megatron all his life, letting the world tremble under his horseshoe. He did it, but he didn't expect it to be like this, did he? ”

Sinah, the Assyrian Emperor who scolded the winds and clouds, reached the peak of his work and prestige in other worlds, but he was left to live and die. If the Emperor's consciousness was still sober, what would he think?

Faust looked carefully at Queen Semir and cautioned: "Does the stability of the empire depend on what we do, everyone is mocking your attitude and guessing what national policy you will adopt when you take power, do you have any thoughts? ”

Samir's eyes seemed to look at the distant void and answer the question: “The reason we stopped Zinnah's atrocities is that we did not want to see the catastrophe of his atrocities, which, in addition to compassion for the innocent, contained a deeper fear. Master Sage, do you know what this fear is? ”

There was a hint of tingling in Faust's soul, the mark left by Satan was inadvertently touched again, causing him to feel the unnamed desire burning, but he bowed his head and replied: "I would like to hear the details. ”

Samir went on to say, "We're afraid of ourselves, of having to wave the knife gun like this forever until we're exhausted. Fearing the same fate in the future, we accept the same fate as those who were brutally slaughtered. Where Assyrian iron hooves pass, as much pain as much hatred.

No empire on the continent has ever been able to remain absolutely invincible and strong, and when Assyria was weak, it was not brutally slaughtered, although a corner of bias had suffered a lot. When it was powerful, it allowed the surrounding corpses to spread, and if the turn of history brought Assyria back to the times it was, could it still exist as it was?

I saw fear, and deep inside Sinah, he may not have noticed, but it must be incredibly intense at this moment. This fear is also rooted in the souls of all Assyrian conquerors, even though they are reluctant to touch it. They fear that one day they will be trampled and slaughtered with iron hooves, just like those they have conquered. ”

Faust couldn't help but fight a cold war, but the burning sensation in his soul grew stronger, and Satan's words echoed in his mind, "Man's faith has never been dominated by his own heart, and I just let you look inside. Please release your wish and tell yourself how to achieve it.” So I coughed and said, "Your Majesty, I want to tell you a story...

There is a world where there are two families, one that thrives and the other that suffers from weak and small poverty. Far away, they finally met one day, and the poor and the weak envied the prosperous. Then one day, the prosperous family became ill, and another family rushed into their home, robbing them of their wealth and slaughtering their wives and children.

Since then, there has been a deep fear in the world that the slaughterer will regain his strength in fear of another family recovering from his illness. Because that means that your sins will be liquidated, your wealth will be plundered and your family will be slaughtered. That was how he did it, and he dared not confess, nor could he confess.

He will not and cannot truly confess guilt, cannot return the stolen wealth, cannot atone for it by deeds, can only consolidate his strength and seek to weaken each other forever and take possession of everything that has been gained. Whenever he recovers from his illness, he thinks of another massacre and looting. The idea is simple —— because you're weak, so you have to bear it; because you're recovering, so it's my threat. ”

Faust's story is only halfway through here, and Semir interrupts him by saying, “You are talking about two families, and if another family accepts the idea, and if there are many more families in the world who think the same way, then there is no hope that the world will prosper. Perhaps the peak of prosperity is the end of the world. What should we describe that day, the end of the day? ”
