Vol 2 Chapter 135: The poor in Duque

Chapter 135: The Poor in Duque
The Uluk Legion quietly retreated yesterday night and left the camp. The battlefield was cleaned very cleanly, leaving almost no trace in the silence. Amon just woke up and didn't know the specific situation. He sat there for a long time after hearing the news. He witnessed the death of Enqidu and the desperate rescue of Gilgamesh. At this moment, he can also understand the mood of the city owner. .
Gilgamesh's ambitious ambitions disappeared, and he was frustrated for a while, leaving with serious injuries.
The generals thought that the commander's injuries had not recovered, and felt a little dizzy, and he did not speak for a while. Several great magicians simultaneously shot and performed blessing magic for him. In fact, the four great magicians in the army had already taken turns treating Amun last night. The commander's injuries were no longer cured, and they just needed to recuperate and recover.
Amon waved his hand: "All the adults have worked hard. I'm fine. I don't have to waste mana." Then I asked about the retreat of the Uruk Legion, including what was left in the camp, what the retreat was, and the formation. How is it organized? Several orders were finally given.
The five corps, Horus, Isis, An-La, Seth, and Gabb, mixed in the war, restored their original formations, allowing the heads of regiments to regroup. At this time, it was seen that the army was out of shape. Except for the recently arrived, the weakest combat force, the Gabe Corps, which experienced only a small loss in the final battle, the rest of the army had already lost half of their strength after a long battle.
Amon himself is still serving as the commander of the An-La Corps, staying in the Red Cape Town to be wounded, and the former commander John, who was seriously injured, has not returned to the front. The retreat route has been advanced, and they have been "sent" out of the country. Isis and the Horus Legion flanked the cover on the left and right flanks, and once they fought, they converged.
Rod Dick led the remnants of Seth's Legion and organized the people withdrawn to return to their homes. The Gaab Regiment was responsible for responding to the entire army and organizing logistics for the quarter. Amon's order was clear. If the Uruk Legion withdrew from Ecuador's territory by itself, do not engage in war. The An-La legion followed the border and watched them away in the desert.
Amon didn't want to fight anymore, neither did Gilgamesh. Anyway, if you do n’t hit the Uruk Legion, you will evacuate. Why should the swordsmen be killed again? If he was forced too hard, Gilgamesh returned to God in desperate counterattacks, but it was worth more for Eju. The formation of the Uluk Legion was not chaotic, but the retreat was not a flight.
Amon sent an army to send the Uruk Legion far away, while Rod Dick sent his followers to clean up the lost ground, and there is still a lot of work to do. Amon also ordered the sending of two documents, one to the Pharaoh newspaper "Jie" in the rear, and the other to the Uruk Legion condolence En Qidu, mourning the first warrior on the mainland and comforting Gilgamel Even.
The official was shocked when he heard the command of the commander. Although he was good at various rhetoric, he did not know how to write the document, so he deliberately asked the commander. Amon replied expressionlessly: "No matter who the opponent is, Enqi sacrifices on the battlefield. He is a respectable samurai. If there is such a samurai in our legion, how can you write an eulogy? Except those who praise God, write whatever you want. "
The official face was bitter, but he didn't dare to ask any more. Rhodes Dick just happened to take the conversation and said, "Master Commander, leave this to me. It will not harm you and yours. The majesty of the Egyptian Empire can also express its due demeanor. "
Rod Dick personally wrote a poem of mourning, praising the strength and bravery of En Qidu, and also mentioned the important achievements of his life. He was engraved on a gold plate and sent to the Uruk military camp. . The eulogy was engraved on a plate made of pure gold, the most solemn form of condolences among the nobles.
Some nobles died, and future generations may be in distress. Such condolence is also a disguised aid. The gold plate symbolizes the meritorious deeds of the ancestors, and these things are not confiscated, even if they have been punished for confiscating their properties. Some children and grandchildren may not be able to use their face to melt the gold plate into gold, so when you send the gold plate, you use a gold plate to hold it. Even if you keep the gold plate, the plate is a lot of gold.
Over time, this has become the most solemn etiquette for the death of the nobles. Some people may use this to pay bribes, while others do not ask for the dead, but just express their sincere condolences. Now Rod Dick is doing this for Amon. Although Enqi no longer needs the gold, he deserves this respect.
Amon has won three battles and Enqi is invincible, and each time he is in danger. Although Enqi is dead, he is the most powerful and respectable opponent that Amon has encountered in his life.
As for the trivial report written by the official to Pharaoh, it is naturally elegant, and the flowers are written in the pen. He also wrote two copies in divine and secular text, with slightly different contents and format. Protected by the great Horus, the Aegis army fought bravely to defeat the enemy, repelled the powerful Uluk Legion, wiped out numerous enemies, and lost the helmet and armor that killed Gilgamesh.
The outrageous warrior En Qidu died of the wrath of the gods. The commander-in-chief, Amon, came to the front line of the first soldiers and launched the first charge in the decisive battle. His fighting spirit and brave spirit inspired the gods, lowered curses and punishment, and killed Enqidu in the war. Master Amon was seriously injured, but he insisted on commanding the battle at the front, and he vomited blood and passed out until he won.
In fact, the official did not need to preach deliberately. Tens of thousands of generals saw what happened on the battlefield with their own eyes. All kinds of speculations had already spread in the army. Horus did appear during the battle between Amon and Enqi. As for the black vortex and thunderbolt, it should also be a miracle. It was the commander of the army, Amon, who summoned the gods with a burning will to fight, only to explain this!
After two battles with the Hati Army and the Uruk Regiment, Amon's temporary prestige in the Eju Army was unparalleled, and his reputation even spread far beyond the mainland. After these three decisive battles with the Uluk Legion, the commander was able to summon the gods and become an army in the eyes of General Eju! Especially in the siege forces such as the An-La Legion, Amon's prestige even surpassed the gods invisibly.
The Uruk Legion retreated very quickly, left the border and crossed the desert to return to the city of Uruk, while the An-La legion not only pushed across the border, but returned to the middle of the desert. Such a result is naturally regarded as a great victory by Pharaoh Rasis II!
The pharaoh also sent a special envoy to ask whether he could kill the desert while punishing the other party's aggressive behavior while the Uruk Army retreated. Fortunately, the pharaoh just asked, not directly ordered, and finally he was not completely dizzy. The frontline generals unanimously wrote to persuade Pharaoh to accept it when he saw it.
After a long battle, the soldiers will be exhausted and need to rest. The soldiers can fight back when they are under pressure, but now the powerful enemies have suffered heavy losses and have retreated. In a short time, they can no longer launch an expedition. Not only the generals on the front line, but the ministers around Pharaoh also did not agree to continue the expedition. This battle has preserved the face of the Egyptian Empire. If the expedition failed, it would be a real loss of national strength.
Seeing that there was no support, Pharaoh could not go into battle himself, so he had to dispel this idea, and instead ordered a celebration ceremony in Cape Town.
The battle is not over, and the soldiers are eagerly looking forward to returning home soon. This month before the Uruk Legion has withdrawn from the border of Barron, Amon is still exercising command of the battlefield. He was too lazy to work, and stayed in Hongjiao Town under the name of nourishing, and did not follow the army to the border.
There are some clergymen in the army. With Amon's prestige status today, he can even call the great magician to take turns to heal himself, but his injuries are not cured. He was not sick and painless, his blood was intact, and even a clever blessing can only make him more awake and healthy, and he was already strong enough as a samurai.
But Amon lost his power, not the feeling of exhaustion of mana or overwork, nor the tiredness and weakness of overstretched physical strength and energy. As a great warrior, he still maintains a strong physique and agility, and his physical strength and endurance are far beyond ordinary people. As a great magician, the subtlety of perception is better than before, and can still be cultivated as usual. Not only has his achievement not been lost, it has become even more profound.
The so-called high depth means that Amon can experience the feeling that was only used in divine meditation in the usual walking and sitting. This is a state that an eighth-level wizard can reach. Only in this way can he do whatever he wants. Instant high-order magic.
On the other hand, apart from detecting inductive powers such as divine magic, Amon has no magic power. In addition to his own power, Amon cannot communicate and operate the energy between heaven and earth as usual. He lost the magical power he had always relied on. It felt like a bird used to flying, but he could only walk with his feet without his wings.
Amon was confused, all this happened after Enqi died. When the black vortex ripped the sky, his strange induction ability was always out of control, and he was too focused on studying everything that happened on the battlefield, so that he was exhausted and injured. Now that the injury is healed, but the strength has not recovered. Is it a strange and unknown injury?
People say that Enqi died of the penalty of Horus, but Amon has seen more, and of course has more questions. If Horus could destroy Enqidu in this way, the first time a huge cloud eagle appeared, he would not be dispelled by Enqidu, which would greatly dampen the morale of the Eju army.
Enqidu's last sentence was to Gilgamesh-"This is not the curse of the gods, but the judgment of fate!" Amon has been thinking about the meaning.
Unfortunately, he could n’t get the answer, and did n’t know when his strength would be restored. He still insisted on divine meditation practice as usual every day, and felt that he had broken through a layer of realm, but could not use his ability. This situation reminded Amon of his birth, like the poor in Duke.
Today, Amon is well-informed, and is no longer the ignorant young man in the country. He remembers the past with a lot of emotions. Once the town of Duke should be the richest place on the mainland. If you just find a worn-out tattered miner, you can compare with the wealthy merchants in each city-state, but they can't buy the corresponding things when they have money.
The duke town closed in the wasteland is extremely scarce and the land is very barren. The merchants transported only some civilian resources, and there was no wealth or enjoyment at all. A bottle of wine there is dozens of times more expensive than the outside, and there is nothing else but wine and meat clothing. The miners only have a large number of stones, and they must not leave without permission.
Amon walked out of Duke town, but today, like entering a strange reincarnation, is facing the same situation. As a general of the Empire, he has received the heaviest rewards. He has a large area of ​​land and the prestige that scares the continent. But under this incomparable glory, he was in the greatest difficulty.
The strength that supported him to this day is not these status and wealth. He has been exploring the path to becoming a and unlocking the secrets of the god. Not long ago he had determined that his attempt was right, and the road was at his feet, but now he is facing a daunting test. Once again, Amon felt that the secret of the himself was far from being unlocked, and what En Qi had said to Gilgamesh was also a hint to him.
It may be too early for Amon to think about this problem, at least to get rid of the current predicament. The biggest trouble he faces is his own danger. Although he is high above him, he has lost the power of self-protection, and he is surrounded by dangers. The former Amon was fearless regardless of any difficulties, but now? Can he guide the clan to return to his homeland without strength, and he can't even protect himself? Does he still have this ability?
No matter who is in this situation, it is inevitable to think too much, and Amon is no exception. The strength of body and mind is one, and Amon has experienced that sense of integration, which can change a person, so at this moment, will he lose his former self? On the night before he was about to go to see Pharaoh, Amon was still meditating quietly under the stars, looking calm and calm, but he was really uneasy.
Amon felt anxiety in her heart, closed her eyes, and even felt the stars on the sky flickering. She finally opened her eyes with a sigh and then saw Schrödinger crouching in front of her.
Amon didn't reach out to hug it. When he thought of the cat's deity, he was always a little embarrassed. He was a goddess who held him in his arms for several years. Schrödinger said, "Amon, your soul is full of confusion. Did the death of Enqi Capital make you feel frustrated?"
Amon sighed: "Gellie once said that as a warrior, En Qi is the most promising to surpass the existence of mortals. He is as strong as him but still ruined. How can he not be discouraged? Proud Gilgamesh has witnessed the death of Enqidu, and I can understand him very well without fighting. "
Schrödinger said unhurriedly: "No one knows more about what you are thinking and doing than I do. I know all your secrets. You are looking for a way to become a god. Nietzsche and Bell gave you the initial guidance. And you finally saw hope in your lonely exploration. But the death of En Qidu is a blow to you. Are you thinking about whether you will bear the same fate? "
Amon nodded silently: "Yes, I don't hide you! Now I can have a direct conversation with your soul like this, I'm afraid it is my only ability left, and I have lost extraordinary power."
The cat looked at him with a crooked head and said in a prompt tone: "Amon, do you have any questions you want to ask me? Don't think, just say the biggest question in your heart."
Amon: "I am thinking about the end of Enqi, what is the judgment of fate?"
Schrödinger's fluff flickered a little, his body seemed to tremble, and he replied: "It is the true self you have to face. It cannot deceive anyone, it is a fate decision, a judgment of the last days. Amon You do n’t have to think about it, you just have to find your own path, even if you know it, it does n’t make sense. If you understand it too well, you wo n’t be able to take that step.

Amon asked in confusion: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Schrödinger: "People are prisoners of life, this is the plight of prisoners. If someone tells you that not eating is the way to eternal life, what should you do?"
Amon smiled bitterly: "I can't be starved first, it doesn't make sense to say that."
The cat's expression smiled like a human: "So you don't have to ask, I once reminded Bell, I believe that Bell reminded Nietzsche, and Nietzsche should also remind you. You can remember what Nietzsche said .... You The power of cultivation must face today's choices, which is also one of the questions of fate. To become a god, you must first answer a question, who are you, is that power alone? "
Hearing Schrödinger's words, Amon suddenly remembered the last message of the old lunatic in the pupil of the earth: "Become a great magician, you will have an unprecedented powerful power, and this power will be integrated into your body and mind as if it were innate. But there are One day you may be faced with a dilemma: Is everything you have just who you are, and who is the same person who owns it all? Why are you, and if you lose it, will you also lose yourself?-This is I give you one last tip, I'm sorry I can't teach you more. Good luck, kid! "
This is clearly describing his current situation and also reminding him how to face it. Nietzsche's highest achievement in his life was an eighth-level magician. He obviously experienced this test, which is the last instruction he can leave to Amon. It is strange that there is no similar clear record in the book of divine cultivation in the Temple of Isis.
Amon closed his eyes, silently pondered for a long time, remembering the meaning of Nietzsche's words, while Schrodinger kept squatting in front of him and looked at him. When the day was twilight, Amon finally opened his eyes and, as usual, stretched out his hand and hugged Schrödinger, stroking his furry back: "Thank you, although I don't know how to restore strength, but To keep the soul from restlessness. "
Instead, Schrodinger felt embarrassed and jumped out of Amen's arms, shaking himself and slipping away. Its voice came to Amon's mind: "I reminded you and ushered in a breakthrough in achievement. This is the test to face. I don't know if I should congratulate you or comfort you. You know that you are about to face Danger. "
