129, and drive him crazy
Amon was stunned, he couldn't figure out who the person in front of him was. But it was absolutely not his own guard! He glanced around and only then realized that he had already left the battlefield far behind, seemingly retreating step by step, but actually faster than a flying horse galloping wildly, the explosion of energy impacting everything around him, even the distant scenery was blurred.
Just as Ah Mon was about to join the battle with his staff, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "I, Anuunaqi's female war god, can't even rival Enkidu! Here, I can't use my full divine power, nor can I help you fight and kill enemies. I can only temporarily hold off Enkidu for you. Quickly retreat to Red Ridge Town, don't forget your promise to me, you can't die here!"
She is Yinnana! The goddess unexpectedly wore armor and somehow mixed into Amun's personal guard. Just now, Enqi saw that sword, she was worried that Amun would not be able to withstand it and had his life in danger, so she suddenly rushed over and blocked the first warrior of the mainland. Mu Yun Goddess and Enqi fought with swords, neither falling behind, but seemingly unable to defeat him, covering Amun as he retreated step by step.
Can gods also wear armor and blend into the battlefield of humans? Amun was shocked beyond measure! At this time, Enqi suddenly seemed to recognize his opponent in front of him, trembling with rage and roaring: "Is it you? You actually went to war with me for him!"
The members of the Imperial Guard not only required high martial arts skills, but also had a ceremonial role, and when selecting them, there were also requirements for their appearance. They were all sturdy young men with similar heights. Looking closely at this guard, his figure seemed somewhat slender, and as he retreated, his waist twisted slightly, and in the heat of battle, he couldn't hide his elegance under his armor, just like a woman. Enqi even recognized him after swinging his sword several times.
Yin Nanna did not respond, but Gilgamesh suddenly stood up from the distant high platform, let out a whistle and called out for Enkidu to return immediately! Enkidu heard Gilgamesh's summons, unwillingly made a slashing motion with his sword, as if tearing open a spatial rift, his entire body trembling with rage, and then he jumped back.
As he walked away, the intangible pressure that had been surrounding him suddenly disappeared, and Ah Mon only then felt a wave of weakness, as if the strong shackles had suddenly loosened without warning, and his body swayed almost falling over. Yin Nana grasped his arm and rushed towards the direction of the chaotic battle between the Imperial Guards, while En Qi's personal cavalry also took advantage of the opportunity to break away from the chaos.
Amon took advantage of the opportunity to mount a war horse and, surrounded by his guards, galloped back to the city gate. As he entered the city, he glanced around but Yin Nana was nowhere to be seen again.
As I turned back to look for her, I heard her voice again: "The Red Cliff Town and the mountains on both sides are the boundary of the divine domain of the Nine-Linked Heaven God. I'd better not enter. I've been careful enough, but hopefully, I haven't disturbed them. Take care of yourself, as for En Qi, he already possesses the power to fight against gods in the mortal world. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, the answer may not take too long to reveal."
Amun was now on the city wall, silently asking: "Yin Nana, how did you appear here? Can you answer a question for me, why has En Qi become so strong? Today on the battlefield, his strength far exceeded that of the first battle ten days ago, leaving me unprepared."
This way of communication is quite peculiar, a kind of ingenious application of information magic. Ah Mon doesn't know where Yin Nana is, but he can hear her voice in his mind and converse with her, as if it's a spiritual sense that doesn't require direct speech, and others can't hear it either.
Yin Nanna sighed, "He has already glimpsed the line of light behind the sky curtain, and his Nine-Step Body Technique has reached the ultimate peak. Just like every time he was about to break through, he was on the verge of a breakthrough, so his power explosion is almost invincible. Moreover, he was born with divine power, if other warriors had the same realm, it would be difficult for them to be stronger than him."
"Edge of Breakthrough? He's already a 9th-level warrior, could he become a divine spirit?"
Yin Nanna replied, "This might be the most magnificent moment of his life. Until that day when you are allowed to join the Anunaqi God System, you will naturally understand all this. Amun, protect yourself well and live a good life, best to stay away from battlefields and killings. As for Enqi, wait for its destruction, and let it go crazy."
Amon communicated with the goddess while the siege war outside the city continued. He had just led the heavy cavalry and guards to charge out of the city, fighting a great battle with Enqi, and when retreating, the divine technique masters who followed him threw out all the remaining scrolls, making the Uruk army's attacking formation in front of them chaotic, and the cavalry he brought out also lost nearly half.
At this time, the dragon shadow and Brez's chariots and cavalry had already inserted into the main array of Uruk troops. The Uruk army was indeed well-trained and should have been prepared for such tactics in advance. They did not simply block the fierce charge of the Egu war chariot. After a brief engagement, the rear army formation split to both sides, allowing the Egu chariots and cavalry to penetrate into their own main array, and then attacked from the side. The flank was indeed the weak link of the chariot's charge, where the cavalry needed protection.
A fierce battle is underway, but Amun's goal is only to deplete the combat power of the Uruk army and does not require a decisive battle between the two commanders. As long as they can infiltrate the enemy's formation and retreat, the Uruk army's siege will be unable to continue, and Amun's overall strategy will have succeeded.
But the tactical confrontation was not so easy, the speed of Uruk's army changing formation exceeded expectations, and it was clear that they were exceptionally skilled in maneuvering. The chariots in the center of Egu's army array almost encountered no obstacles and broke through the enemy array, while the chariots on both wings and the covering cavalry were stuck in a chaotic battle, separated from the main force and surrounded, in a very unfavorable situation, struggling desperately.
Just then, the sounds of slaughter on the battlefield inexplicably grew weaker and more distant. It wasn't that the warriors had laid down their arms, but rather a strange power enveloped the entire battlefield, like an invisible pressure. Even nearby sounds became indistinct and gradually faded away. The sunlight vanished, and a massive shadow appeared on the earth.
The Amun on the castle wall subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, and then he was frozen in place, standing there speechless. It wasn't just him; everyone inside and outside of Red Cliff Town who became aware of something being off would lift their heads to gaze up at the sky, only to be shocked into silence, including the soldiers on the battlefield.
Around Amun, with Isis' high priest Wold as the first, people had already knelt down in a piece, looking up at the sky and praying, while those who were still standing were also too shocked to react.
The sky had clouds appearing at some point, white clouds slowly gathering, like a floating mountain, gradually taking the shape of an eagle. This was the totem of King Horus, which the people of Egypt had seen countless times in various carvings since childhood, and were extremely familiar with it. At this moment, on the battlefield, the divine sign of Horus appeared!
After the majestic cloud eagle revealed its figure, the spread wings covered the entire city wall defense line below, and the sharp beak under its head was pointing at the two armies in battle. The pure white body had a seven-colored light halo surrounding it, and immediately countless light screens descended from the sky, falling on the large armies of both sides inside and outside the city walls.
"This is a blessing from the gods, guarding Eju to achieve final victory!" Someone suddenly reacted, raised their weapons and shouted loudly, then cheers echoed through the sky.
A brilliant light screen poured down from the sky, and every Eguis soldier was greatly inspired, instantly filling themselves with strength and confidence, forgetting all their pain and fatigue. This is a strange blessing technique that applies to all soldiers on the battlefield, and its more important effect is the great encouragement of everyone's soul. The explosion of countless people's fanatical beliefs combined together is simply terrifyingly unstoppable!
The light also fell on the soldiers of Uruk, but it had no blessing effect on them, and even made them tremble with fear, having lost their confidence and courage. Amun on the city wall also felt this divine grace from heaven, and he clearly sensed the power of the blessing, but it had no effect on him. The reason was very strange and simple, because Amun did not believe in Horus and had never truly devoted himself to this god.
Horus's divine blessing only bestowed blessings on his faithful people, while the trembling and powerlessness of the Uruk soldiers were more due to their fear of the gods. Seeing the people around him looking refreshed and radiant, Amun also quietly cast a blessing spell on himself, which didn't seem out of the ordinary at all.
Yin Nanna's voice faintly echoed in his mind: "That shameless Horus, he actually showed up with this excuse!"
Amon, stunned, asked in a puzzled tone: "What excuse? If the gods can show miracles to inspire the army, why didn't they appear earlier?"
Yin Nanna replied in a voice that was both disdainful and indignant: "Because I appeared in the war, although I carefully disguised myself, but he still discovered me. I am the divine spirit of Anunaqi, so Horus used this as an excuse to display his divine power, trying to change the outcome of this mortal war with his divine strength. But I acted to protect you and did not invade the divine domain of the Nine Heavenly Gods. Horus' actions, although not violating the covenant of the gods, are contemptible and reveal his weakness and fear!"
After a brief lull on the battlefield, the earth-shaking battle cry rose again. The Egyptian soldiers who were originally trapped in a fierce battle were now greatly encouraged, and they charged towards the enemy with abandon, frantically waving their weapons. Amun's order was not to engage in a prolonged battle, but just to break through the enemy lines and leave, but judging from the current situation, these officers had forgotten to retreat, and the Uruk army was being defeated section by section.
Enkidu has returned to the high ground, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gilgamesh. These two heroes seem not to care about the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, looking at each other and then simultaneously gazing up at the "miracle" in the sky, both radiating excited and almost irrepressible spirits, as if they have finally waited for the long-awaited moment.
