The Great Suffering War

  The bitter war of 124

  A chaotic burst of various magical powers and energies filled the air, making it difficult to discern what was happening. Suddenly, a red mist appeared, and something fell from within it. The objects that fell included Julian's broken staff, two unrolled scrolls, and a space ring. Armon waved his hand, and the scrolls and space ring were all sucked into thin air. He raised the iron branch staff as if facing a great enemy.

  Enqi was a pure warrior, after all, he couldn't fly. That towering figure finally fell from the sky, like a meteorite falling straight into Ahmon's battle array behind him. Although Julian is dead, the divine technique he used before his death also blocked Enqi, otherwise it would have allowed this great warrior to fly backwards and fall among the team of divine technicians behind the battle array, which would be even more troublesome!

  Enqi and others were all falling head down from the sky, before they even landed, arrows shot towards the sky like rain. This warrior let out a loud shout, the snake scale armor on his body shone brightly, and in the air, there was a faint sound of roaring and howling, the arrows fell off without even touching him. When he was still ten feet above the ground, Enqi suddenly punched out again in mid-air.

  The boxing glove emitted a burst of golden light with a tail flame, and the massive force slammed into the ground, actually smashing out a shallow large pit. Several war chariots were smashed to pieces, and in the midst of the smoke and dust, a piece of flesh was blurred, and more than a dozen soldiers below him died instantly without leaving any bodies behind. This was his second punch, and the great warrior borrowed the force of the backlash to turn around in mid-air and land steadily on the ground, and that majestic figure was so agile!

  The surrounding soldiers were affected by the shockwave of this punch and stumbled, at which point Amun loudly ordered: "Disperse!"

  Let ordinary soldiers surround the continent's number one warrior in close combat, it's simply a death sentence. Ordinary swords and arrows can't even get close to Enkidu's body. Moreover, this is in the midst of a charging army formation, if the rear becomes chaotic, it will disrupt the entire formation. No wonder Gilgamesh is so confident in Enkidu, letting him fall into the enemy's large array, this warrior is indeed fearless and can truly take the head of a general among ten thousand soldiers!

  Gilgamesh shot out two arrows, one real and one fake. The first arrow seemed to have an unmatched momentum but was just a scare tactic, while the second arrow flew silently and suddenly sent Enkidu to the enemy's upper air. Julian, the 8th level great magician, was caught off guard and killed on the spot. This also silently declared that if they were really the assassins from the blessing ceremony, would they have failed with this method?

  The surrounding chariots dispersed according to Amun's command, and the place where Enkidu fell became a vacant lot. The dust that had been stirred up had not yet settled when a dazzling silver light with tail feathers came straight down. That was Amun who had leapt out of his own chariot, wielding an iron branch staff that slammed down through the air.

  He didn't use any other fancy divine techniques, as operating any divine technique would consume his magical power and require a moment's time. It might be useful against others, but against this peak warrior who could defeat hundreds with one blow, Ah Mon concentrated all of his pure strength and used all of his magical power to operate the energy impact attached to his staff, launching the strongest attack of his life.

  Enqitou's reaction was faster than imaginable, he suddenly turned around and sprinted forward, swinging out his third punch. Ahmon was in mid-air with both hands holding the staff, using the tip of the staff to strike at Enqitou, but Enqitou suddenly sprinted over with an unbelievable speed, this punch landed right on the staff between Ahmon's two hands.

  Thank you, old madman. This magical mace is unusually tenacious and unbreakable. The golden fist hit it with a loud hum, but the mace was undamaged. Amun's ten fingers were numb, but he held on tightly without letting go of the mace. The great warrior's power was similar to an energy spell, and the massive impact spread throughout his body. Amun's body was like being compressed and clenched, and another person might have been crushed into pieces.

  His scorpion shell emitted a tooth-aching friction sound, bursting into a swirling black light, the staff shook violently, Amun flew from the air to the air, was punched by Enqi and flew far away, and actually flew to the center of the battlefield, while the chariot army on both sides had not yet collided.

  Enqi threw three punches in total: The first punch killed the great wizard Julian, which also broke the morale-boosting divine array behind the enemy's formation; The second punch blasted out a piece of empty space in the enemy camp, almost disrupting the formation of the charging army; The third punch sent the enemy commander flying out of the battlefield and landing in the center of the chaotic battlefield.

  At this moment, the great wizard George flew to the high altitude with a war drum and a staff at an extremely fast speed. The drumbeat did not stop, but he replaced Julian's position in the first time and re-launched the divine array. Julian died under Enkei's fist, and an eighth-level great wizard couldn't even react in time. At this moment, filling his position required great courage, but George didn't hesitate at all.

  The army cannot be in disarray, and he doesn't believe that Enqi can still fly up! He wants to use the power of the divine array to deal with Enqidu in mid-air, even if it's just to trap this number one warrior on the continent, and kill him with a scroll.

  Enqi was extremely bold and arrogant, but not reckless or foolish. George had just flown to a high altitude and stood still, when he punched Amun flying with one fist, and immediately took off and ran wildly, rushing out of the Egou battle formation. His speed was much faster than the war chariots in front, and along the way, he swung his fists and swept away the war chariots that were blocking his way and charging forward, creating a gap in the center of the vanguard of the Egou army's phalanx, rushing towards Amun who had just landed.

  If it were a normal battle, the two armies had not yet formally clashed, and Eju's side would probably have lost already, because the commander-in-chief of the whole army was thrown out of the big array like a small chicken! How could the soldiers in the rear not be chaotic?

  At this time, a team rushed forward to fill the gap in the central battle array and chased Enkidu frantically. This dazzling cavalry was Amun's personal guard trained in the Anra Legion. The first horseman was Medanzo. Medanzo had already jumped onto his warhorse and led the guards to chase Enkidu, who was rushing towards Amun. The armor and weapons of this guard were personally purchased by Amun with a large sum of money, which were very light but had stronger impact force and protective effect than heavy cavalry.

  The Imperial Guards did not fear the might of Enkidu, but instead risked their lives to rescue their commander. Although they could not catch up, this morale was quite good. George took advantage of the opportunity to shout loudly in mid-air: "The whole army is engaged! General Amun will personally behead Enkidu!"

  The warriors on the front line raised their weapons and let out excited shouts, charging at top speed. Just now, Enqi swung three punches from heaven to earth in a circle, but only the high-ranking military officers and nearby soldiers saw clearly, while the other warriors on the entire battlefield did not notice. Everyone's attention was drawn to Gilgamesh's first arrow shot, and Amun's return arrow was not inferior at all.

  When George's loud shout was heard in the air, many people thought that Armon would have a one-on-one showdown with Enqi to prove who is the true number one warrior on the mainland! Didn't King Hatti give this title to Armon? The soldiers didn't even have time to think about how the voice in the high air changed from Julian to George.

  Amon flew far out of the big array, and the ground in the center of the battlefield suddenly became flat like a giant hand wiping it clean. He manipulated space god technique and air element god technique to control his body shape and land steadily. The war chariots from the front and rear military arrays were rumbling like thunder as they charged forward. In front of the Egu army array, there was a burly big man who ran faster than the war chariots, and with another push off the ground, he jumped high into the air and flew to the center of the battlefield, punching towards Amon.

  This enraged Enqi, who had been staring at Amun, and flew over to deliver a flying punch. The power of this punch was no longer as strong as the first three punches he threw out, but it still had an overwhelming momentum that made people dare not resist head-on. Amun held his staff with both hands and swung it towards Enqi, and this time the fist and staff did not collide directly, but there was a whirlwind swirling around them.

  Amon's figure flickered, and the light and shadow twisted as if he had changed positions, but in fact he was still standing on the spot. He used his spatial divine technique to defend against and dissolve the power of this punch, while feeling a wave of soreness in all his joints. Enqi also landed, causing the ground to tremble slightly, and another fist flew towards Amon, this kind of hard-hitting method almost impossible to dissolve, the explosive energy could disperse the spatial divine technique's transfer effect.

  Amon let out a loud roar and swung his staff forward, striking with his fist. The air around him burst into a ball of white light, sending Amon flying backward several steps before he could steady himself. Enkei, however, did not press the attack, instead suddenly turning around to throw a punch at the back, his power smashing against the tip of a sword that was thrusting straight at him from afar.

  It was Mai Danzuo who arrived, the captain of the Imperial Guard, with the fastest speed, leaving the car team and cavalry far behind. The battlefield was very noisy, but he used his magic to hide the sound of his horse's hooves as much as possible, almost silently killing under the loud roar of the chariots, borrowing the force of the galloping horses to stab straight at Enqi Du's back.

  Mai Dān Zuò used a divine technique to disguise his staff as a sword hilt, with a faint silver glow on the blade. The tip of the sword had a spiral airflow swirling in front of it, and he was using spatial cutting magic to slash through space. This sword's sharpness made it the most difficult to defend against sneak attacks.

  Enqi didn't let him succeed, and with a punch, another burst of golden light appeared. Mei Dansuo's precious heavy sword was broken inch by inch, leaving only a bare staff in his hand. The force of the blow sent Mei Dansuo flying into the air, shattering the silver armor on his body and revealing the black scorpion shell armor underneath. Mei Dansuo flipped over and landed some distance away, but the fine horse he rode flew far away, torn to pieces by the fist wind, without even having time to let out a mournful cry.

  With a right fist, Mei Danzuo was knocked back. En Qi spun around and swung his left fist out. At this time, a silver light flashed from the slanting stab, Gabriel leapt into the air with a battle axe and chopped down fiercely. The fist wind collided with the battle axe, the silver light was scattered, and the battle axe also had a huge gap opened up. Gabriel flipped over in mid-air, his helmet fell to the ground, his golden long hair spread out, and he landed on the other side.

  Amon suddenly took out a battle axe and a shield and threw them to Gabriel, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Exhaust him!"

  While shouting, he swung the iron branch staff again and charged towards Enkido. Maidan drew out the snake-toothed short blade from his waist and also charged forward. Gabriel naturally joined the battle with his shield and war axe. Amun's order was "exhaust him to death" rather than "defeat him". This number one warrior on the continent was simply unbeatable, they could only try their best to entangle him in a fierce battle, and Enkido was no longer at his peak state at this moment.

  No one knows better than Amun how terrifying the three punches that Enkido swung were, and anyone else would have probably been exhausted by now. A person's physical strength has its limits; they can stroll around all day, but a full-force sprint can only be sustained for a very short time. Enkido had just gone through a full-force sprint, and absolutely could not be given another chance to catch his breath.

  Four great warriors clashed together, and the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, flying sand and rolling rocks. At this moment, the two armies' formations finally collided, and after entering each other's range, arrows shot out like rain. Immediately afterwards, chariots crashed into each other, people and horses overturned, the two armies interwove and fought together, shouts, the sound of weapons colliding, and the miserable cries of blades cutting into flesh and blood could be heard everywhere, a fierce battle unfolded.

  The battle continued until the sun was low in the west. In a war of cold weapons, soldiers couldn't keep swinging their swords all day long. A normal person wielding heavy weapons would be exhausted after just one meal's time. Formal army soldiers were at least martial artists who had trained in physical techniques, and their physical endurance far exceeded that of ordinary people, but they also couldn't sustain high-intensity combat for a long time.

  A regular army is not a mob, and before it disperses, both offense and defense are organized. The frontline battle is also a layered advance, with fresh troops constantly pouring onto the battlefield to form new lines, covering the retreat of exhausted and wounded soldiers. In this situation, on-site command is extremely important, but when the war unfolds, neither of the two commanders-in-chief commands their army.

  Gilgamesh sat in the chariot with his eyes closed, as if he had entered a state of selfless meditation. The army array beside him advanced with a loud rumble, and all the generals had already understood the battle plan, which was unfolding step by step. But Ahmon, the commander-in-chief of Egypt, was not in control of himself. He was punched out by Enkidu, and then fell into chaos in the center of the battlefield.

  The commander on that side became George's great magician, standing in mid-air and commanding the entire army.

  Both sides' first wave of chariot charges failed to break through the enemy's formation, and after a series of skirmishes, the infantry phalanx also joined the battle. The soldiers clashed and retreated several times, and the Uruk army's combat power was indeed formidable. George almost pushed all the reserve troops on the battlefield to the front line, barely stabilizing the situation, and took advantage of the enemy's reorganization of chariots to launch a few more counter-charges.

  Chariots require impact speed to exert their advantage, so it is impossible to put all of them into the front battlefield at once. They need to be covered by infantry formations and launched in turns, with battles resembling waves crashing against each other, extremely fierce.

  The priests formed a large array, their chanting voices floating in mid-air, and the soft glow fell, with two main effects: one was to comfort the soldiers' souls, making them forget their fears; the other was to relieve the pain of injured soldiers. In most battles, half of the wounded soldiers died from shock caused by pain rather than the injury itself being incurable.

  The divine masters also get tired, and every position in the divine formation needs to be alternated, except for the great divine master George who has been insisting on being on the front line. The Eguchi army is not at an advantage, fighting very hard, the line of defense is slowly retreating, but it has not collapsed. This is somewhat beyond Gilgamesh's expectations, as this expedition had been going smoothly until now, and only today did they encounter their first tough battle.

  The divine priests in the Uruk army were also busy doing the same thing, and after a long melee, Gilgamesh was still sitting there motionless. However, in the high sky behind the Uruk army formation, a figure appeared, with a radiant glow like a god, showing the appearance of Gilgamesh.

  Gilgamesh was still sitting in the car, and another Gilgamesh appeared in the high sky, becoming the central axis of the divine array, and giving orders to command the entire army's mobilization. Gilgamesh is not a god, but can show such "miracles", George sighed secretly in the distant empty space, he doesn't have this skill.

  It's hard to describe what kind of divine technique this is, Information Divine Technique, Space Divine Technique, Energy Divine Technique, or Elemental Divine Technique? It can condense one's will and create a self-image, but it's not an illusion. Sighing, George also played a little trick, waving his staff to cover himself in a sky full of aurora, just a simple Information Illusion Divine Technique, which doesn't look bad at all.

  After a dozen rounds of fierce fighting, from morning to afternoon, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted. The casualties of the Egu army were obviously greater, but as long as the camp did not collapse, the gap between the dead and wounded would not be too great, after all, killing a thousand enemies would cost eight hundred lives. In the very center of the war zone was a vacuum, with flying sand and rocks making various loud noises, where the four great warriors were still fighting fiercely.

  The soldiers on the front line have taken turns charging in waves, but Armon, along with Maidanzo and Gabriel, has been fighting fiercely with Enqi until now, without even a moment to catch their breath. The generals are exhausted, and Armon is no exception.

  Ahmon is only a 7th-level great warrior, but also a 7th-level great magician. He has worked hard with perseverance and endurance, his magical power is long-lasting, and his will is unyielding. He has hardly ever met anyone who can be compared to him. It's not just because of his talent, but also related to his experience of hardships. Even if a general great warrior practices diligently, they probably haven't had the same experiences as Ahmon.

  But Amun met his match today, Enki was a tireless war god. The first three punches were indeed full of strength, and after that, Amun didn't give him a chance to breathe. In the melee, all kinds of tactics were used. Various energy blasts surrounded their battlefield, people outside couldn't see clearly, even the detection technique was disrupted.

  Amon and Medanzo's divine magic was simple, combining spatial divine magic with energy divine magic to enhance the power of a great warrior, but secretly containing the magical power of a great magician. This move was the most effective way to deal with Enqi. Gabriel, who was fighting fiercely, did not notice anything unusual, and she herself would use divine magic to assist in combat.

  Amon's iron staff not only brought surging power, but also scattered various visible and invisible edges. Every time he was beaten back, he gritted his teeth and immediately counterattacked, withstanding the greatest pressure. Enkei's fist wraps rose with a faint golden light, and every time he wanted to launch continuous attacks on Amon, the other two great warriors covered and restrained him in time, turning it into a tangled situation.
