Four-Armed Divine Emperor
Page 20
Many mountain people were stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment at this handsome old man with a mysterious look who was speaking strange prophecies.
Seeing that the mountain people seemed to be suspicious, Gandalf became furious and tore off his grey robe!
"God Anu!" He spoke each word with a long tail tone, as if he was chanting a sacred prayer!
In an instant, there was a burst of brilliance!
Billions of rays of light emanated from the white robe, just like the rays of midnight!
Chapter 32: King Anu
Gandalf, who took off his grey robe, looked like a god descending from heaven, and his special effects made him look inviolable!
Even the German Gaelic warriors in the expeditionary force who knew a little about the inside story and were disdainful of the so-called "God" legend were stunned by this scene, and they doubted whether this old mountain man really had magical powers, let alone superstitious mountain people.
Suddenly, a group of people knelt down and enthusiastically shouted "God Anu~". It was messy and untidy, but very imposing.
Gandalf patted the bear's back, and the big brown bear reluctantly carried him and ran towards the group of "strange" humans opposite. The brown bear did not stop until they were close enough for people to see every wrinkle on his face.
"The power I possess is a gift from the god Anu! If you stubbornly follow the fire demon, the god will wrathfully slaughter you here! If you surrender and submit to the king, the god's grace will be as vast as the sea, and you will enjoy endless blessings!"
As he was speaking, a huge blue shadow solidified above the Devngel Mountaineer Coalition that was confronting the pursuing troops. The mountaineers looked up at the half-bodied giant in horror. His face was blurred, and his four arms were folded across his chest, looking down at the mountains.
Gandalf saw this and shouted:
"Since you have seen the God, why don't you bow?"
"God Anu!"
Then the pursuers followed the example of the prostrating coalition forces, and a huge group of people knelt down in fear and trepidation, with their faces pressed to the ground, shouting the name of the legendary god.
The godlike shadow only lasted for a short while before disappearing, seemingly satisfied with the situation.
Al wiped the sweat off his face quietly.
Psychic power is really useful.
This thing is much better than magic.jpg!
The pursuers were very sensible, so there was no need for him to make any extra moves. Al had originally said that he would try out his innate ability [Flame Sun Flare] on them. He had tried it before, and this talent was the same as [Element Control], both of which could be used in multiple ways and with multiple effects.
The most basic use is ray strikes, similar to scorching rays.
The next thing was not difficult. The coalition forces seized the weapons of the prisoners and drove the frightened prisoners to lead the way, taking a detour through the mountain road.
On the other hand, the news that the front army was attacked for the second time and that the mountain people had ambushes had also been passed back to Adwin's camp.
The person who brought the news was a scout who had escaped by chance. This news made King Adwin a little angry. It was enough to do it once, and he did it again.
But he was not sure whether the Brio people had seen through it, because the enemies that had appeared so far seemed to be all local mountain armed forces.
He discussed this with the military minister and came to a conclusion similar to Malik's. They both felt that if the Brio people knew about this highly concealed sneak attack in advance, they would definitely adopt an active offensive tactic. It would be impossible for them to alert the enemy twice in a row. As a result, they would have to prepare their main force in order to defeat the vanguard army of only 2,000 people.
Just as they were urging the troops to speed up their advance and strengthen their vigilance to prevent an ambush during the march, battle reports came from the front again. This time, the ones coming were not the defeated soldiers who had escaped by chance, but several mountain people who came to the front of the army with a dozen Xerxes prisoners and a tattered military flag!
"We are the warriors of King Anu! The Xerxes!"
The mountain people revealed their identities to the soldiers of Xerxes who came to inquire about them.
"Your vanguard has been crushed by the king's invincible warriors! Your legions passed through Anu's territory and attacked Anu's people. You must pay the price for this!"
The captives cried out, saying, "Malik, the front-line commander, was too ambitious and incompetent. He allowed the enemy troops to pursue us too deeply, leaving the rear empty and vulnerable to attacks by elite mountain people. Then, when he saw the situation was getting worse, he ordered us to surrender just to save his own life!"
One of the captives was a centurion and a minor noble. He was very angry at being humiliated by a group of barbarians whom he usually looked down upon. When he saw the envoy of King Adwin, he was very excited and kept shouting that Malik deserved to die.
The messenger was skeptical and reported all the news back to the Grand Prince, who also had some doubts. No matter how bad Malik was, he shouldn't have surrendered directly to a group of mountain people, right?
The mountain people returned the captives to show their strength. They claimed that "King Anu" had tens of thousands of people and nearly 10,000 warriors. The Xerxes invaded his territory and attacked his people, so they should pay compensation, otherwise he would go to war with the Xerxes.
This news caused silence in the coach's camp.
Where did this large tribe of mountain people come from?
Tens of thousands of soldiers is not a small number. It is impossible that the mountain people in the border area have not heard of such a force.
So he immediately called in the mountain people in the vassal army, and they were also confused. Anu means god in heaven, and also the "god of savior" and the "last god". He is extremely noble. Anyone who dares to use this name to claim to be king is definitely not an ordinary person.
They did not dare to make promises rashly, for fear of being held accountable if something went wrong later - the road they explored was not concealed at all, and they ran into a large group of people who fell from the sky. This made Xerxes very dissatisfied with these mountain people, and they even suspected that they had secretly collaborated with the enemy.
But the current issue is to solve the problem in front of us, otherwise the army will stop here and the daily losses alone will be a huge number.
If we withdraw our troops, not only will everything be in vain, but the news will inevitably spread, which will anger the Devangelic Mage, and the recruitment will naturally fail. It will also make the other party alert, and it will not be so easy to launch a sneak attack next time.
They already felt that something was wrong, but King Adwin did not want his century-long plan to fail at the last moment, so the Xerxes had no choice but to move forward.
Military Minister Alik suggested to torture the mountain people who came to ask for compensation, and interrogate them to get the details, and then decide whether to fight or make peace. King Adwin thought about it, invited the envoys into the military camp, and then immediately turned against them and imprisoned them separately and tortured them severely. In the end, he did get some general information.
The so-called "King Anu" was actually just an old man. He claimed that he dreamed of the return of the gods, and that his granddaughter was pregnant with a baby. He said that he would be reincarnated into the world through the body of that child. So he pretended to be a god and recaptured some nearby tribes with great momentum. He also took advantage of the situation to establish cooperation with the Derwengaelics, monitored the surroundings for them, and obtained a batch of weapons and equipment from them.
Xerxes and his men launched a surprise attack on the west, massacring some nearby tribal strongholds. The survivors fled in all directions, and some of them ran to the old man who was performing the shaman act, requesting the "King of Gods" to display his divine power and punish the fire demon.
The old man realized that the Xerxes army must be here to cause trouble for Devangel, but he was greedy and wanted to have the best of both worlds, so he beat up the Xerxes vanguard while sending envoys to contact the main force to reveal his identity.
Although he was nominally asking for compensation, he actually wanted to have a secret meeting with the Xerxes in private. If they were willing to pay a high price, they could help the Xerxes pass through the border safely, or even join their subordinates to attack Devangel. If the price was too low or the attitude was bad, they would turn around and tell the Devangels the news. With his record of actively attacking the front army, even if the warriors knew about his contact with the Xerxes, they would not blame him too much.
The messengers cried and wailed under torture, and after listening to their subordinates' retelling, King Adwin had an idea in his mind:
"A cunning, philistine, and barbarian!"
The mountain leader who used the excuse of "taking advantage of the bastard in his granddaughter's belly" to expand his territory was indeed a smart man. The messengers revealed that after learning about the Xerxes, the leader "Chanilah" began to deliberately intercept the survivors of the tribes destroyed by the Xerxes to ensure that the news would not leak out. Now he had just hit their vital point.
"Talk to them first!"
Adwin was a little anxious. Things were beyond his control. Although the enemy in front of them was not as strong as he had imagined, according to the description of the messengers, there were only more than 4,000 warriors under the command of Chief Chanila. As long as they were adult males, they could be considered soldiers. The ratio of soldiers to civilians among the mountain people has always been particularly high. When the war was important, women and the elderly would be dispatched to the battlefield.
This also corresponds to the information Malik reported earlier: the mountain people who attacked them were poorly equipped, and there were women among them.
A good surprise attack was strangled by a barbarian tribe that suddenly appeared on this side.
"Get the soldiers ready!"
"If we find out where these slaves are, if..." The Great Prince's face showed a fierce expression, "We must quickly deal with them, and at the same time, we must move as fast as possible. I want to see the Wall Plain within five days!"
Chapter 33: The dice have been rolled!
"I want to remind you, mountain people."
The prince's envoy showed a hint of disdain in his eyes. He stepped on a flat stone. Two guards stood behind him, holding the holy flame flag of the fire totem, and watched a group of mountain leaders in front of them looting the boxes of wealth and supplies brought by Xerxes.
"Abide by the contract, loyalty will be rewarded, but if you dare to violate it... the favor of the Grand Prince will not be without a price!"
I was filled with contempt for these short-sighted and greedy mountain tribes. They thought that they could blackmail and extort a noble Satrap, a sacred descendant with the blood of fire flowing in his body, just by chance?
"The good times won't last long..."
The messenger thought to himself that before coming here, he had already learned King Adwin's true thoughts on the mountain people who united under the banner of the so-called "King Anu":
I, an old horse, may not know the way home, but I must get rid of you, a villain!
But at present, the primary target is still the Devengaelic people, so the prince spared no expense to bribe "King Anu", but the condition was that the other party must completely turn to the Xerxes and fight for them. The reward offered shocked the envoy. As an inner court bureaucrat, he knew a lot of things. That figure was almost equivalent to the output and trade income of the entire western territory for five years.
The prince spent a lot of money on this. He also asked the envoy to bring a holy flame flag from the holy city of Pasamen. It was one of the three flags erected on the chariot when Adwin was taken back to the territory by the slave soldiers to succeed to the throne. He said that as long as this flag was still there, as long as the mountain people did not betray him and become his enemy in the future, he would never take the initiative to attack these western mountain people.
At least on the surface it was very serious. As for regretting it later, as mentioned before, the Zoroastrians adhered to the tradition of winner-takes-all and the victor was not to be blamed. The current risk was totally worth the Grand Prince's diplomatic credibility to fight for it.
What happens next is another matter.
The biggest leader of the mountain people, the old man with a rather strange color, "Chanila", who "used his unmarried pregnant granddaughter to pretend that the god had descended to the world", also appeared in person at this meeting. He looked like an elder with some wisdom, with big eyes. If he were young, he would have looked very powerful, but he gave people an inexplicable feeling of cunning.
"Sir, in your eyes, we may be barbaric and backward. Your civilization and your people despise us, the sons of the mountains who grew up in remote areas..." The old man Chanila walked up to the messenger, touched his chest to salute, and bowed deeply.
"But we also know the value of 'integrity'. It is the foundation of all transactions and all contracts."
His words made the envoy nod slightly, showing some agreement.
"How long will it take for your warriors to assemble?" he immediately urged. "According to the contract, your soldiers must lead the way at the front of the legion."
"They're already here."
Chanila stood up, spread his hands behind him, and motioned the messenger to join him. The two of them climbed over a hillside and saw an armed force of thousands of mountain people gathering behind the hill.
The messenger's heart trembled slightly, and a chill came over him.
The mountain people assembled the army in advance, obviously to prepare for both situations. If the negotiations failed, they would immediately turn against each other. By then, as one of the most important people present, he would obviously not be spared.
He narrowly escaped danger!
Fortunately, at this moment the mountain people took the initiative to reveal their backup plan to him, obviously to show their sincerity. He was not stupid enough to continue to dwell on this point, but stayed to observe the manpower and quickly returned to the headquarters to report to Adwin.
Soon, the army started moving again. After the negotiations were concluded, with the guidance of the real natives, the road ahead was indeed smooth, and the harassment along the way was almost non-existent, and all of it was resolved by the local tyrants.
The Xerxes army was at the rear, and the mountain people were at the front, traveling day and night. When they were about to leave the rugged terrain of the border, the army rested for a day, preparing to rush out of the border and launch a surprise attack on Mu Teng.
The only ones who were harmed in this resolved conflict were probably Malik Hestor and his frontline troops.
After the negotiations, Xerxes asked the mountain people for the captives, but Chanila declined with a special reason. He said:
The mountainous areas had been in chaos due to a long period of war, and the population was dwindling. Young and strong laborers were extremely valuable. The mountain people among the more than a thousand captives could be counted as part of the contract money and given to them. As for the Xerxes among them, they were guaranteed not to be abused, but they had to serve them for a period of time - marrying local women to inject fresh blood into the closed tribe, and at the same time serving as free labor for the mountain people.
In addition to this, there is also the idea of taking them as hostages. After all, these are nearly a thousand combat-ready soldiers who are young and strong. Behind them are hundreds or even thousands of Xerxes families. If all of them are killed here, King Adwin will also have a headache.
In addition, King Adwin was very angry about Malik's cowardice and reckless surrender. He felt that he had misjudged Malik and trusted such a fool, so he simply left him to the mountain people and punished him later.
So a former military commander who was not too innocent was unknowingly labeled as a surrenderer and is still being held in darkness in a mountain tribe.
And his subordinate, a centurion who escaped again, returned to Xerxes' legion with a few confused soldiers under his command. This time, he was more experienced and more adept at it.
Xerxes was not prepared for this, and even because he was considered an active member of the front army, he was directly transferred to be a captain of ten men without even an examination. After all, the position of centurion was a one-size-fits-all position, and there was no promotion without casualties. It was impossible for your troops to be replaced immediately if they were gone.
"Go tell that 'His Majesty' that he will soon see the great plains he has always longed for."
Chanira—his real name, or the name given by Aiur. The mountain chief, Saruman, had a sinister sneer on his already old face. The strong mountain soldiers who could cross mountains and seas as if they were walking on flat ground immediately passed the news back to the rear.
In fact, they didn't need to make any additional reports, as there was a group of Xerxes scouts following the mountain people who were clearing the way ahead. Their purpose was to monitor the mountain people and prevent them from doing anything wrong.
The Xerxes who had been digging in the ravines for more than ten days learned that they were about to reach their goal—after breaking into the Vol Plain, the road ahead was flat and they could reach the city of Muten in less than half a day if they advanced at full speed!
Their morale was greatly boosted. They still believed that their attack would succeed. The advantages in numbers, intelligence, tactics, and the local mountain people's defection and support could be summed up in four words:
The advantage is mine!
To ensure the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops, Adwin promised to offer a reward of three victories: the best, the middle, and the worst.
If the next victory is to recapture Muten, and fail to capture the Bleo expeditionary force, and also fail to capture the wizard, then after recapture Muten, all the local Bleo people will be captured as slaves, and the entire army will be given to the land of Vol.
Zhongshengwei surrounded and severely damaged the enemy's main force. His Highness Satrapu did not take a penny of the prisoners and gave them all to his subordinates to share. If an ordinary soldier made a profit, he would be promoted to a higher rank.
The victory was Adwin's most desired goal. He would suddenly attack and surround the defenseless enemy forces in the city, where the mage was also located. He would then destroy the enemy's main force and capture the mage, and then recruit him to join his side.
If this goal can be achieved, the emerging kingdom of "Western Territory + Eastern Territory" envisioned by Adwin will begin to take shape.
However, as long as he can achieve the goal of victory, he will make a profit. No matter how powerful a wizard is, he still needs ordinary soldiers as the main force. After Devangel has wiped out all the mortal troops, even if he still has the support of the wizard, Adwin can still attack the city with confidence. As long as the wizard is not a real "demigod", even if he can suppress his own holy wizard, he can only guard Devangel Castle because he is unable to split himself.
Therefore, in this battle, even if the result is two for one, as long as the two goals can be achieved: annihilating the enemy's main force and solving one of the enemy's wizard threats, it will be of great benefit to Adwin.
"Order the entire army to speed up!"
The mountain march was hard. Although the Grand Prince spent most of his time in the big tent carriage, this thing had certain magical value. As long as it provided external force to drive it, it could not be said to be comfortable, but it was smooth all the way. However, he was tired of hiding and traveling. Now, it was time to reveal the trump card and announce everything!
"Tomorrow, I will have the entire army in Muten, marching on the backs of Brio's slaves to perform the Holy Set!"
The Sacred Set was a ritual performed by the Xerxes at dusk.
"Blazing Holy Fire!"
The army shouted in unison, shaking the mountains and forests.
On the other side, Al also sensed the movement here. He sat in a makeshift tent, with his horse and sword stretched out, playing with the woman's hair in his hands.
The docile female leopards were diligently serving the spears of the gods in their eyes, sharpening the weapons for El, venting their desires, and preparing for the decisive battle.
He held a strand of the woman's hair in his hand, still hesitant and wary about the upcoming war, but he had to do it.
"Let's give it a try..." he thought to himself, while relaxing the valves controlling his body.
"Hmm..." The sacred essence was injected into the woman's body. Because it came suddenly, the beautiful female mountain leopard was unable to accept it for a while. She tried to force herself to bear it, but the holy water came out of her lips and nasal cavity, making her look very embarrassed.
El simply withdrew his spear slowly from the warm mouth to give the woman time to breathe, and the latter also meekly used her face as a base to set off the holy object, allowing the white torrent to flood her cheeks and hair.
No woman who had sex with Al would doubt his extraordinary and inhuman nature.
Even a pure virgin should know that a man's private part cannot be so horrible. Ansuna was pregnant and had a big appetite, but she had no interest in mortal food, so she kept staring at El and "sucking" to absorb the nutrient solution.
Feeding play belongs to yes.
