Four-Armed Divine Emperor

However, his conservative nature as a mortal still made him "advance step by step" within the existing planning framework, which now seemed to lag far behind the expansion speed of the Four-Armed Forces. According to the original big framework, he pushed forward a drama of "imperial disputes and heroes competing for supremacy" to be presented to the world, as well as the floating city.

Then, during this dynastic transition, he would allow his tribe to quietly complete a backdoor listing while minimizing the impact, control the Zoroastrian civilization from the core, and establish a parasitic empire belonging to the Four-Armed Ones. Then, when he felt that the operation was successful and his strength was sufficient, he would sweep across the continent in one wave, bringing the Il world under his control and completing the achievement of "one ruler in one generation"...

.........

Al smiled at Edward, who was suppressing a great deal of anger and resentment in his heart, and said, "Except being a victim, you have no other use to me." He tilted his head, as if he only regarded this as a game.

Edward couldn't understand the meaning of the word he said, but his intuition told him that it was not a good word, maybe... worse than a slave?

He really couldn't bear it anymore.

Perhaps the moment he opened the door, Edward should have rushed over and fought this man to the death.

He rushed forward in one step, quickly pulling out a dagger from his sleeve!

Edward raised his head with bloodshot eyes and bulging veins on his forehead. He had definitely used up all his strength and launched this full-strength attack with hatred!

Even if he failed, even if the consequence was death, he would forget about it!

"go to hell!"

Edward roared hysterically.

However, his figure froze midway.

His thoughts were still flowing, but he had completely lost the perception of his body. The few protective magic items he carried with him didn't even make a sound, and he was inexplicably hit.

The anger had not yet subsided, and the fear had not yet taken over.

Edward could only watch helplessly as the handsome young man waved his hand, and everything in the room drifted away like a gust of sand. Catherine, whom he had never seen before, also appeared in the venue.

She was also completely naked, with marks of sexual abuse all over her body. She was tied up in a very shameful way, making her look "square". She was finally blocked by an object that had been "placed" under the bed and covered by the sheets until she was discovered by Edward at this moment.

Amidst the earth-shaking changes, the four people in the field appeared in a magnificent building, which was surrounded by a huge palace complex. The four people were now at the highest point of a building that looked like a temple and also like a royal palace.

Such a situation was almost beyond Edward's comprehension.

"Didn't I tell you?"

Al spread his hands and said:

"The 'person' you have been looking for is me."

His words suddenly reminded Edward of something.

Ashes asked him to find out information about the mysterious "Honor of the Father" sect among the northern rebels.

As far as he knew, the cult worshipped a supreme god, or evil god, called "Honorable Father".

According to some descriptions, the other party's appearance is that of a young, handsome man.

148: Other Places

Located somewhere southeast of Iskhanfa.

The two sides have more than 130,000 troops facing each other.

Chapter 295

On one side was the 50,000-strong rebel suppression corps of the imperial court represented by the Alan Empire's central army, and on the other side was a coalition force composed of rebellious separatist forces from multiple provinces.

The rebels had an advantage in terms of military strength, but were clearly inferior to the imperial army in terms of quality and command and dispatch.

This is obviously also the confidence of the rebel forces.

As both sides prepare themselves, a war is inevitable...

.........

To the east of the Usriv Tsardom lies the vast Kipchak steppe.

At this moment, a huge and loose nomadic coalition was gathering in one place. Opposite them was a small army, less than one-third of their number, but with a tighter and more orderly formation. Just from the outside, one could tell that they were well-trained and dressed in nomadic clothes.

The coalition's flags, patterns, and designs were all different. As the largest recruiting base for the Uslif Empire, sometimes even surpassing the country, the Kipchak "savages" brought spoils of war from all over the world, and their dress was also different. It was difficult to find an army that was unified from clothing to weapons and flags. The nomadic coalition had both the full set of heavy armor and beast battle flags of the Uslif classic Boyer Guard, the armor of the Kronos Legion, and even the full set of the Peninsula Crown Knights, which was equally gorgeous, powerful and practical. It looked like an oversized mixed-up ragtag army.

The enemy army opposite them seemed to be much more low-key in momentum.

Hidden beneath the fur coat is a uniform set of armor. The flags all use the pattern of a double-headed, four-clawed eagle, and the color is a gloomy dark purple, which makes people feel particularly gloomy and not at all imposing.

Soon, as the commanders and chiefs of the nomadic coalition reached a consensus, the shamans sounded the clarion call for war.

The huge nomadic coalition, several times larger than its opponents, began to advance towards the enemy formation ahead under the shouts and whips of their respective leaders and commanders.

No one knew how many people there were in the coalition army. Even the most perceptive and adept scouts could not detect the exact number of enemies from the sound of hooves that made the whole earth tremble. But at least at this moment, it could be simply inferred that there were at least more than 100,000 nomadic cavalry gathered on this vast plain to fight against the riders from the east who served the "Eagle Khan".

.........

Located within the territory of the Alan Empire.

The Shirvan Province north of the Iskhanfar.

This place was once considered one of the ancestral lands for the rise of Fire Worshipers. In the "old days", a large number of temples and altars for worshiping and enshrining the ancient witch king have been passed down to this day. In addition, there are many sites that have been forgotten in history, waiting to be discovered by archaeologists and fire-serving monks.

After the Five Provinces Rebellion, Sylvain found himself in an awkward position.

It was almost surrounded by the rebels from the north, south and west, and was almost cut off from the center of the empire. It was a stumbling block that the rebels would never be able to bypass if they wanted to develop further, and it had to be removed at all costs.

Sylvania has a strong religious and academic atmosphere. Many fire servants, when they are old and frail and can no longer withstand the scorching heat of fire, go to an ancient holy place to spend their twilight years.

Furthermore, Sylvanus also has the largest church armed force besides the Zoroastrian holy city of Yazd, the Crusader Army "Immortals" stationed there. These are selected from slaves at a young age and have their bodies smeared with corrosive oils, causing their skin to ulcerate, blister, peel and then scab, leaving a thick layer of armor on the outer layer of the body. They are then wrapped in canvas soaked in a special liquid, and the outermost layer is supplemented with sophisticated armor.

When facing the mortal legions, they are almost invincible. These soldiers, called "Immortals", have been transformed by drugs and cruel methods to withstand the scorching heat of flames far better than ordinary people. Every action they take is accompanied by a blazing fire. Those soldiers, wearing armor and bandages, who are ugly and hideous like evil spirits, charge into battle with the flames. They are like demons rushing out of hell. The Witch King created this extraordinary legion with his great evil power. Almost no mortal army can resist this kind of deterrence... But all this is of no use when facing an enemy that is beyond the existence of this world.

Following a seemingly "ordinary internal coup", the pro-rebel faction of the Fire Servant expelled and killed the priests who supported the Central Power and took control of Shirvan. At the same time, the external northern rebels took the opportunity to attack. With the joint efforts of both inside and outside, Shirvan, the holy land of the Fire Worshiper Alan Empire, was declared "fallen" less than half a month after the offensive was launched and joined the rebel camp.

Those hideous and miserable "Immortal" legions naturally became part of the rebels under the command of those pro-rebel priests, and countless ancient ruins in Sylvan also fell into the control of the Four-Armed Rome.

......

North of Sylvanus.

A place of yellow sand.

Strictly speaking, this place has left the "territory" of the Alan Empire, because no one would treat a piece of land in a remote frontier with nothing but sand, scorching sun and poison as a real territory.

In the sequence of the imperial border defense corps, there is not even a corresponding organization here. Even the nearest border defense force is a town 400 miles away, but that only exists in the organization. The so-called border defense force, after being stationed for decades without rotation, is no longer in the same place as the local

Chapter 296

Local militia is no different.

An ancient relic buried under the dust. Over the countless years, many people have searched for its existence. Some of them finally found it after going through a lot of trouble, but they all sighed and had to retreat.

But today, when the "Romans" arrived here, they were able to mobilize enormous manpower and material resources, and with the full confidence of many outstanding, talented, capable, and sophisticated brains, to uncover the secrets buried here...

"Speed ​​up the process!" The supervisor stood on the platform and urged sternly.

Slaves, laborers, and even high-ranking mages all toil in this land of yellow sand.

They were located deep in the northern desert of Shirvan.

A place that is even blank on the map.

Throughout the long history, only a few people, with some fragmentary words lost in the vast ocean of text, have described the situation here.

In order to find this place and get the secrets about it, the Romans mobilized more than 200,000 people in the early stage to develop a long and huge safety corridor to lay a solid rear for the archaeological team. The so-called "Immortal" Legion was all, 14,200 people were stationed in the rear. The price paid to supply these people was no less than supporting an expedition of a legion of 100,000.

149: The Lord of Ashes

"Eternal Sun...Lord of Ashes..."

Walking through the grand passage that seems to be built for giants and gods.

The scholar leading the team looked at the huge and magnificent murals on both sides of the road and couldn't help but express such emotion.

The man's name is Kevin, a second-ring wizard and a noble from Kronos. This identity is enough to be respected by mortals in the secular world, but the man who believes that his most unique identity has always been a "scholar" has a huge passion for the field of archaeology.

Rather than chasing after the popular powers that everyone loves, Kevin is more interested in exploring and uncovering the secrets buried beneath time.

For him, no matter how much he pursues power, his lifetime achievements will never reach the level of true extraordinary people. However, exploring the long river of history and finding those secrets that no one knows anymore gives Kevin a great satisfaction of standing shoulder to shoulder with the "Gods" - the white-robed wizards.

People always have something to pursue in their life.

Kevin's quest is to uncover those ancient secrets.

"Before the King of Ashes, there were many controversial areas regarding the origin of Fire Worshipers." Perhaps it was because he finally broke through layers of obstacles and came to the ancient and great mystery. Kevin was so excited that he kept talking to his companions and sharing his understanding of the matter. However, his companions seemed to be quite silent about this. They only focused on moving forward along the passage that the soldiers had already explored. Among the silent purple robes, Kevin looked so outstanding.

"But Sylvania is undoubtedly the most important. It's the site of the earliest temple dedicated to the 'Gray King.' Records mention that the Witch King, possessing the purest power of the 'Aksha Fire,' was born in Sylvania."

"However, there are no credible records regarding his origins or his family. One theory states that the 'Gray King' was born in a small settlement on the northern border of what is now the Alan Empire. Back then, the environment in the north was much better than it is today, so the origin of Fire Worship spread from north to south. The Gray King himself was born to a woman who escaped from the tribe after being attacked by the enemy. This caused him to be rejected and hostile from a young age. Therefore, after his innate power awakened, he appeared so cruel and brutal..."

Kevin's voice was trembling. He had seen many murals in a row. There was no doubt that the carvings here were left by the earliest fire-worshipping ancestors. At that time, this ethnic group's worship of the "Gray King" had not yet developed into the later supreme respect for gods. The things here were definitely first-hand information, and according to what he saw and his own understanding of the analysis, it was definitely the most credible historical truth!

"This argument is believed by many people, but I have always believed that this is a research result influenced by 'other factors' and is a vilification of Zoroastrians' history by their enemies. And now!"

He suddenly raised his voice, and the echo drifted in the huge underground world, which was not sure whether it was a tomb or a palace.

"What we saw along the way undoubtedly completely disproved this statement!"

"We have learned the truth of history! Oh my God, this may be a secret that even the white-robed wizards don't know!" Kevin was so excited that he wanted to tear down all the murals and carry them back on his shoulders, even though any one of them was enough to crush his small body to death.

"The King of Ashes was indeed born on the northern border of the present-day Alan Empire. To be precise, it was here, in this forgotten desert of the Shilvan Province. Back then, when He was born, this place was still a lush plain."

"He wasn't born in some small tribe. 'Amen-Ra' means 'Sunny Land', the name of a city where a god was born."

"At that time, Amen-Ra was probably the largest and most prosperous city in the territory developed by the ancestors of the Fire Worshipers. The Gray King was born here. His parents were both nobles. His mother was even a female leader of her own warband, with a higher status than his father. His childhood was definitely happy.

Chapter 297

The so-called birth of a child is just a shameless rumor fabricated by those damned stupid pigs who have no academic standards at all!"

Kevin was excited that he could actually see the growth process of a legendary "god" walking in the mortal world from birth to death. He also expressed his indignation for the attacks on the other party's image by some mortals after his departure.

"But everything changed quickly..." Kevin's tone suddenly dropped again. He was definitely a good storyteller.

"The gift of fate has arrived. That destined moment created a god, but also killed a mortal who once had both parents and a happy family!"

Kevin looked at the mural, which showed a young man standing in an abstract relief fire, looking at his bleeding hands, with a city engulfed in flames behind him, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"His talent has awakened, his power has awakened! His power is so strong and violent, and unlike the 'Eternal Queen', he cannot receive guidance from the long-lived people. Therefore, when the King of Ashes first demonstrated his great power, the cruel fire he brought almost destroyed the city of Amen-Ra where he was born."

"His parents, siblings, tribe members, slaves, and many other Amen-Ra people perished in that terrible blazing punishment. This is the reason for the Ash King's cruel nature. From then on, when a mortal dies, all that remains in him is the culprit who destroyed everything in his past overnight."

"He hates everything, including himself!"

The murals did not directly describe this kind of thing, but according to Kevin's own analysis, and the fact that the murals were perhaps carved under the guidance of the survivors of Amen-Ra, they intentionally used several pictures describing "loneliness" and "hatred", which made Kevin naturally come to such an analysis.

"No wonder, no wonder there have never been any records or descriptions of the Ash King's relatives. The Ash King destroyed Amen-Ra, and He feels guilty about it all; He hates himself for destroying everything, and He hates everything. He feels both guilty and disgusted towards Amen-Ra's survivors. Whenever He faces them, He will remember the fire that burned everything! So, after He left Sylvan, unified the present-day Alan Plateau, and established His own earthly empire, He resettled all of Amen-Ra's survivors, or rather, imprisoned them on this old land, as if they were already dead, Amen-Ra destroyed, and everything in the past was over. He escaped... refused to face it..."

He practically felt like he was about to climax!

In Kevin's crotch, the thing was already as hard as iron!

A second-ring mage! A minor noble from the Kronos Empire—in short, before the King of Ashes, a man like him was no different from a mere mortal, an ant, or even dust on the ground!

The King of Ashes, the eternal blazing sun worshipped by the Fire Worshipers, might be able to burn thousands of people like him to death with just one breath!

But now, Kevin can stand in the temple of this old god, in the "Scripture Pavilion" that contains the secrets of His birth, and boldly spy on the past that this "god" is unwilling to face, and comment on it.

This feeling of invading the gods like an ant... is so cool!

150: Tomb of Amen-Ra

"The survivors of Amen-Ra also have mixed feelings about the divine leader who destroyed their homeland and then led their people to unparalleled heights."

"The Gray King is like a prodigal son who made a fortune outside of home, unwilling to return. After leaving Sylvania, there's no record of him ever returning. Yet, this place has inexplicably flourished. Countless temples dedicated to him, countless altars dedicated to him. Population, wealth, and power have all flowed into this place... It turns out all of this was originally intended to serve the survivors of Amen-Ra."

"He imprisoned his former tribe in his homeland and then had his followers send a large number of slaves and wealth. In various aspects, the Zoroastrian Empire has always placed a certain emphasis on the land of Sylvania. This may be a form of compensation from Him."

"Although the Amen-La were kept in captivity, they were not reduced to pigs. Some of them had previously played a significant role in the Ash King's empire until the Fire God decided to imprison his former people. They were stripped of their power outside of Sylvania, but internally, they were almost a nation unto themselves. The Ash King never paid much attention to this land that buried his past memories."

"He definitely issued very strict orders, forbidding anyone who knew about his past to mention it. Many even died for this purpose. But for some reason, perhaps simply a desire to record history; or perhaps, driven by complex feelings for a celestial being, they went against this purpose and instead mobilized a large number of slaves to build this massive city, both a tomb and a palace, on the ruins of Amen-Ra."

"Everything that Amen pulled from the past, and most importantly, the Ash King's past, was carved and buried in this city."

"All Amen-Ra are buried here upon death, just like the Tomb Kings of the Golden Dynasty. Some even choose to enter this place while still alive, isolating themselves from the outside world. This is where everything begins and ends... The King of Ashes clearly knows of the existence of this city, but just as he has complex feelings about his own past, he also has the same feelings about this city that records his secrets and buries his people."

Kevin looked at the mural and sighed, it turned out that such a powerful being like a god could
