Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 171: If I Was Heavenly Father in His Years

After Link returned, he instructed Aesop to command the residents to step up the construction of the city defense and stockpile of war preparations. On the other hand, he reminded John to hurry up and exercise the formal army. Within a few days, Medanzo also came to meet with Link, knowing that the latest situation also felt that the situation was serious and complicated, and immediately took a shuttle to come to Amon to ask for instructions. This is a series of things that happened after Moses and others left Eju.

After hearing Amon's eyebrows, he frowned. Some things he had anticipated, because in ancient legends, when the land of the Marduk fallen by the gods became the fertile ground, the gods of the gods would be born. Regardless of the true or false of the legend, this place will inevitably become the realm of divine power for the gods to compete. Even if some gods do not necessarily have ambitions themselves, they must also pay attention to what happened there, and prevent other gods from occupying this position to make the legend a reality. Even Seth, who is far away from the Eju Jiulian Divine Realm, tried to intervene.

But one thing was unexpected, where did the plateau giants come from at the foot of the Assyrian Plateau? Judging from their organizational capabilities and materials, it is absolutely impossible to be a primitive tribe who spontaneously migrates in the mountains, it should be a trained soldier and craftsman. Amon himself was the commander in chief of the battlefield and the general of the Empire. Listening to Medanzo's description, I feel that these people should be a forward unit and a logistician of a regular corps.

They not only know how to build city defenses, reclaim wilderness, but also mine mountains to smelt fine iron. Weapons, tents, farm tools, and tools all seem to be allotted the same. The first batch of nearly 2,000 people were all plateau giants. After the establishment of the gathering point, many mainland residents appeared in the camp, looking like unemployed homeless people from various countries. It is impossible for them to spontaneously emerge from where they are now. It must be an organized migration.

Although the flood on the Duke Plain has receded and the terrain has finally stabilized, it is still difficult to see people and it is not convenient to get there. To the north of it is the towering Assyrian Plateau, to the west is a forest of black fire swamps, and to the east is a rugged mountain valley.

If a large number of people want to enter, the best route is the inland lake to the south, either to cross the inland lake through a grassland and swamp, or to cross a mountain from the east bank of the inland lake. This was also the path taken by Moses and others, who already had the city of Marduk built by Euseir. It is possible for a powerful squad explorer to enter the Duke Plain from all directions, but it is almost impossible for an organized squad to get there at this time.

Amon had guided Link a few years ago, from the valley of the Youdi River, to the desert island that had just emerged from the water before he could take the lead in establishing a city-state home. And Usil, who established the city-state in the southeast corner of the Duke Plain, had long planned to have the secret support of Princess Xiao Qian and the Kingdom of Barron before he could gain a foothold at this time. But where did the new city-state from the north come from? They are the most powerful force on the Duke Plain, and the followers are increasing continuously.

The only way to get there is to cross the snow-covered Assyrian Plateau and carry so much material and organized actions that cannot be accomplished by individual forces. It may only be the order of a kingdom. The other side of the Assyrian Plateau is Assyria. The Kingdom.

There are four countries around the Duke Plain. The Kingdom of Assyria has the narrowest territory and relatively infertile land. It is not as rich and prosperous as the other three countries, and its comprehensive national strength is the weakest. However, the Assyrian army was brave and fierce, and there was also a legion formed by the plateau giants, known as the Giant Legion. Even the Barron Kingdom, which is close to the south, did not dare to provoke easily. The kingdom of Assyria has been on the verge of peace for many years, and there is no movement.

Due to the obstacles of the Assyrian Plateau and the relatively weak national strength, the Assyrian Kingdom's struggle for the Duke Plains was originally at the most disadvantaged position, but today the situation has changed very subtly. If the Assyrian Kingdom really wants to cross the Assyrian Plateau at any cost and forcibly annex the Duke Plain, it will be most strategically advantageous.

The Tianshu continent has just had a melee war between the nations. First, there was a battle between the Egyre Empire and the Hati Kingdom. Then the Uruk Corps, the most powerful corps of the Barron Kingdom, and a battle with the Eju Army led by Amon. There was another battle with Prince Asher and the army of Barron. All these series of wars severely weakened the strength of various countries in a short period of time.

The most powerful Aegean empire suffered heavy losses. Although Amon helped to turn the tide, the price paid was also great. Later, Pharaoh Rasis II died in exile, and the new Pharaoh Elakht built a new capital and promoted monotheistic reforms in China. At present, what needs to be resolved is the internal affairs and it is impossible to launch an expedition.

The Hardy Kingdom was the actual victor in both wars, and Grieve contributed a lot, but the war also consumed Hardy's national strength. Although they have got rid of the status of subordinate to the Empire of Egypt, the two princes almost split the kingdom to fight for the throne. At present, the political situation is not stable, and they need to rest. They are not forced to do so, nor will they conduct large-scale expeditions .

The Kingdom of Barron was originally the country with the second largest power on the continent, but its relative loss was the worst, and it was also the actual defeater. The Uluk Regiment was repelled, Enqidu fell, Gilgamesh retreated, and the army was almost wiped out during the battle with the Hati Kingdom. It was only after the Hati civil strife that Prince Feng Niu had the opportunity to recover the defeat. .

The Assyrian Kingdom, which has been cultivating energy and silent, suddenly shot. According to Amon's judgment, the Assyrian King should have sent a giant army to rise to the top and suddenly appeared, leaving everyone caught off guard.

In the current situation in the Duke Plains, the Assyrian Kingdom's advance legion is building a city-state at the foot of the mountain in the north and building a shrine for Enril. And on the southeast corner, the easiest way to enter the Duque Plains, Usil is also establishing a city-state and building a temple for Marduk.

Enril was naturally reluctant to abandon this area of ​​the gods, maybe there was ambition to become the **** of the gods, and Marduk should also want to recapture the place that made him famous in the first battle. These two great gods belong to the Anuna Kai system, but they are the opponents of whom no one is convinced. Two main gods have appeared in the same **** system, and now is the opportunity to settle the millennium of grudges.

Things between gods are not easy to guess, but human kingdoms also have their own disputes. Both Barron and Assyria want to take advantage of the instability of Eju and Hati's internal affairs to occupy this thousand miles of fertile soil, especially the desire of the Assyrian kingdom is stronger. The entire Duque Plain is not only equivalent to one-third of Assyria's territory, but it will also be a fertile soil rich in products. Many of the desolate areas of the Assyrian Kingdom are far from comparable.

If nothing else, the first round of competition on the Duke Plains will begin between the two city-states, and the final result is unknown. But now there is a variable, Amon Jean Link has established a city-state in the original site of the original town of Duke, like a nail in between.

The complex situation is like a mess, and it is difficult for ordinary people to sort out their clues. After seeing Amon for a long time, Medanzo couldn't help but ask, "God Amon, what do you do? Everyone is waiting for your instructions! If you want to drive away the plateau giants in the north, John Focus all your strength on fighting them. "

Amon shook his head and said, "You must know one thing. We are not their opponents. It is impossible for Link's thousands of people to fight a kingdom."

Medanzo for a moment: "A kingdom?"

Amon nodded: "Yes, you may have guessed this possibility. The people at the foot of the north are the advance army sent by the Assyrian Kingdom. Their purpose should be to integrate the entire Duke Plain into the Assyrian Kingdom. Territory, with the current strength of Link and others, it is impossible to completely destroy the other side, not to mention the fact that it is now suffering from the enemy? Eusil, who represents the Kingdom of Barron, is still stuck at the entrance of the Duke Plain. It is wise to suggest as long as this situation can last. "

Medanzo asked again, "What about the future? Link built the city-state under your guidance. What kind of place do you want to make it?"

Amon looked up at the sky and replied, "In fact, I didn't think of it so much at first, I just did it. Duke Town is my hometown and the place where my people have lived for generations. At first I just did it Mayor Stie ’s last wish is also a promise to the goddess Mu Yun to return my family to their hometown to rebuild their homeland.

It was so desolate there that even thousands of people could not survive and needed mining resources in exchange for external supplies. Later I learned that the land of Marduk is the place where the gods fell, and my people are sinners who were exiled in the ancient times and believed in the gods who defeated one side. The heavy labor of generations is a punishment that allows them to multiply. The extinct was the goddess Mu Yun.

Now that all this is over, the Duke Plain will become a thousand miles of fertile soil flowing with milk and honey, and the scope of this fertile soil is far beyond the original Duke town. My purpose may be pure. I want to let Link ’s people have a beautiful home to live in, and also let my people fulfill their desire to live in the rich land of their hometown. All this has nothing to do with the gods, but it is inevitably involved in the struggle between countries and even the gods.

I think of the former Duke town. It had been under the jurisdiction of many kingdoms in history. In addition to the temple of Mu Yun, the temple of Horus was also built. I have seen it myself, but I have never seen it before. More. But it hasn't really been conquered. The reason is simple, because the price is not worth it.

The goddess Mu Duyun once said a wish, hoping that I would establish a new city-state there. No matter whether this wish can be fulfilled, I hope that the people can settle in their homeland. This is how I addressed Moses and other people in the name of A Luo Di. Human guidance and promise.

No matter what the future, they will do one thing, and that is to have the strength and faith to guard themselves. If the cost of conquering or expelling them exceeds the gains they can obtain, they can stand there, no matter what the name. I am about to go to the duel of the city of Syria and fight with Celia, and I can find Ge Lie to talk about a cooperation that should have been talked about for a long time, and give Lin Ke and others support. "

Medanzo blinked, and then said after a while: "Originally, you already have a plan. No matter how big you are, you have everything in mind. Just do what you say. Link wants to ask you one more thing. What is the name of the new city-state we are building? Should we call it Duke Town? "

Amon shook his head and said, "Duke Town is named after Marduk, which symbolizes the war of the gods and punishes the sinners. Naturally, this name cannot be used again. This new city-state is called Salem. It starts from Since its birth, the gods have been fighting for it, and tranquility and peace are unknown. "

Amon named the city-state "Salem", meaning peace and peace, and he knew in his heart that the emergence of this city-state would inevitably be accompanied by continuous conflicts and struggles. Medanzo sighed: "This name is good, like the hope that people see when they look at the sky .... Moses are still waiting outside the Duke Plains. Would you let them go around or send John to lead the army?"

Amon thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "Usil has received the deity of Marduk, and the condition is that they cannot build other gods except Marduk. This condition seems to me. Nothing, because I directed the people of Duke Town in the name of Aruo, including Moses, who have never seen me. I let them accept the guidance of faith, but never let them build idols for me. Past, present Will never. "

Medanzo's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "The problem has been solved, even though the condition for Moses to agree with Eucer is that they will not build any idols of gods, or they will not build idols for Marduk. You It's their only **** that lives forever in faith. I'll go back and tell Moses about them! "

Amon waved his hand: "You don't have to remind them that Moses is their leader. They should know how to guide the people to do it. This is their last test before they reach the city of Salem, and it is up to them to decide. They are not only returning home, It is also getting rid of the old agreement between the gods and it is no longer the former Duke Miner. "

Medanzo: "Oh, I see! You want to give them another guide, what should I do?"

Amon looked at Medanzo and said, "From today on, you will be the head of all my disciples, and you will be the hardest one. There are several things to be accounted for now."

Amon told Medanzo to return to Salem first, and relayed his orders to Link, John, Aesop, etc., and let them explore a path in the Black Marsh, and find all the places where they can stand and fill the gaps. The low-lying can be connected to the southern end of the city of Syria and let the four large iron beasts help. This will take some time. Even if the road is repaired, it is not suitable for large military formations to pass, but it can flow between small caravans.

The second thing Mei Danzuo did was to send a message to the iron beast king Yunmeng, so that Yunmeng rushed to the designated place to converge. Amon wanted to point out this iron beastmaster many secrets of cultivation, and he would also take Yunmeng to participate Duel with Celia. After Yunmeng's departure, Medanzo also had to control the shuttle to take Aesop back to Montfeis to find the wealthy businessman Siou to negotiate a very important business.

Amon once invested a lot of money in the business of Siou, only to say that there will be a big business in the future, so that Siou will expand the local commercial banks and buy a large number of cars and horses. Now it is time to use it. Doing business has its own way of doing business, Aesop is the most suitable to do this.

After finishing these three things, Medanzo also rushed to the city of Marduk where Eusir was located, brought a message to Eusir, talked about another cooperation, and secretly followed Moses and others. He was busy enough, and after he heard it, he rushed away.

After Medanzo left, Amon beckoned, and the golden dome on the sand dunes, the tables and chairs in the account, and the expensive utensils on the table were all included in his bones. He really didn't waste it, and even these things left by the Lion King were taken away. The high dunes on the seashore were restored to their original shape, as if nothing had happened.

The sun has set, the stars are shining, and Amon sits quietly on the sand dunes for a night. After dawn, he continues to cross the Syrian desert to the north, the destination is his duel with Celia. No matter how complicated the world is, this lone teenager is just step by step towards his goal.

Amon did not take the shuttle, all his flying instruments had been given to his disciples, and he had not used his mana to fly away. He still walked on the sand like he did when he came. The sun gradually rose, the sand began to heat, and the hot air hovered and rose from the surface, looking far into a twisted light, and Amon's lonely figure gradually became a little dazed.

As he walked, his shy figure disappeared strangely, no footprints were visible on the sand, and the man was not visible in the sun. Amon entered a strange state of meditation, and naturally disappeared while walking. The sun rose to a high level and slowly drooped west, and then the starlight appeared, but Amon's shadow was never visible in the desert.

The dunes at night seemed to be silent, but there were still all kinds of slight sounds. Some scorpions crawled out of the dunes to crawl, leaving traces of their past. No one knew where Amon was, only he knew where he was going. He is like a ray of thought in walking, thinking on the road, you can't see him, but exist.

Amon was thinking about a problem. After seeing Wuliangguang, he and Surabaya and Renyun both realized that there are still unknown gods in the world, and there may be different gods. He has learned about the past between Jiulian and Anunaki, including the cat **** Best who accompanied him, and Mu Yun, the **** of youth and love who loves and guides him, of course he is willing to go with it. Get along. But if she only talks about the existence of gods, Amon does not like these gods.

Since he walked out of Duke Town, his mission has been to unravel the secrets of the gods and prove his path to becoming a god, but at this moment he is thinking about another deeper question--

"If I can become a god, what kind of **** will I be? I don't like those gods, or even dislike them. With this faith, no matter how I cultivate, I can't become such a god. This is the source of power. The test was decided.

If there is one day, when I will pass the trial of fate and the judgment of the last days, my desire is not to join or establish such a **** system, to become that god. I hope to build a home of faith, which can guide all yearning people, not who is deliberately directed by the gods.

The so-called gods are no longer gods, but gods in people's beliefs. People can choose a heavenly home in their lives or endure the hell-like suffering in their hearts. ——This is my desire to be a god. The road under my feet will eventually lead there. "
