By now it was dawn, and Joshua was about to send so n to look for David, but just then, he saw David walking out of the forest holding a huge sword while shouting: I caught twenty-eight of them, they are all knocked out and lying in the woods, should we send soone to drag them all back?
His father rushed forward to hug David and said: How could you have captured so many giant warriors?
David looked up and smiled. Gods emissary has been guiding and telling where those enemies were hiding.
The one who guided David was tatro. Amon vaguely heard the prayers of the Ducians while in the Garden of Eden, and he imdiately sent tatro to check the situation. Soon after the departure of tatro, sitting in the belly of the mountain, Amon suddenly frowned again. While constructing the magic spatial formation with Geshtinanna, Lynk heard Amons voice: I am a little worried about tatro, so Lynk, you will go to the Plains of Duc as well.
tatro was fast and arrived at the site of the battle between the miners and the giant soldiers before midnight. By now the fighting had stopped, and the twelve Judges were leading the miners to search for the fleeing giant warriors in the dense forest. David, who had entered the dense forest alone with a machete, started using detection magic as he went in pursuit of the enemies.
In the darkness of the night within the overgrown wilderness, the giant warriors simply could not find their way around. Even if they wanted to run, they could not run far, so they could only hide in a corner to wait for dawn to arrive. But a mage could use detection magic to see their surroundings clearly and move around unimpeded in the darkness.
The reason why tatro chose David to be his disciple among so many others, was because the childs possessed great innate talent. Not only did he possess the bloodline of the Ducians, but he was also intelligent and extrely perceptive. Furthermore, even though he experienced many hardships at a young age, he did not lose hope and was always full of courage and fighting spirit.
In so ways, this child was even stronger than Amon back then. Amon may not be the most outstanding of the youngsters in Duc back then, but CrazyOle had his eye on Amon. At this ti, David was not yet sixteen years old, but he already achieved the fifth level of the power of two sides, which was quite amazing.
Of course, achievents could not be completely asured by age. This was just the starting foundation, and it could not represent the ending point that one could reach. For example, the scroll master Nero beca a supre mage in his early twenties, but at the end of his life, he remained as a seventh-level mage. Even a genius like CrazyOle ultimately did not break through to the ninth level of achievent.
When tatro found David, he was creeping towards three giant warriors that he just located. Circling to their backs in the darkness, he struck suddenly and knocked them out without making much noise instead of fighting with those powerful giants indiscriminately. tatro was very happy to see his disciples achievents today, so he secretly pointed out to David what other giant warriors were hiding nearby.
David suddenly heard tatros voice, and accompanying the sound were strange images directly sent into the mind, showing the hiding place of the giant warriors, even their body postures could be seen. David was kept busy until dawn, and only when the last giant warrior was finally subdued did he return to the camp.
tatro watched David walk back to the clan and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Standing on the crystal shuttle, he stretched his arms in the rising morning light. He flew in the sky all night long, then imdiately searched the dense forest with detection magic before using ssage magic to transmit the hiding places of the giant warriors directly to David, and he was a little tired now.
However, before he was done with his stretching, his body tensed up inexplicably. The cloud-like crystal shuttle instantly transford into a cloud of mist, countless sharp ice crystals condensed out of thin air and pointed in all directions, and tatro gathered his magical power. He slowly turned around, only to feel the blinding light from the sunrise. Squinting his eyes, he saw a man shrouded in flas.
His whole body emitted flas, but tatro could not see his face, because he was standing between tatro and the rising sun, and the light from the flas also turned into the form of wings.
Who are you? The man spoke. Hearing his voice, there was an inexplicable sensation of being burned in tatros head.
Sensing the powerful aura of this man, tatro slowly drew out the Key of Destiny, a long spear whose tip shone with a golden glow, like the morning dew that was evaporating in the sun. He asked coldly in return: Thats the question I was going to ask you, why are you here?
The man replied: I am Kibir, the fiery god of Anunnaki, the emissary of Enlil, and who are you?
tatro suddenly laughed, even whistled frivolously, before replying: Oh, so thats it! No wonder those giant warriors happened to cut off the path of the Duc miners in this thousand-mile wilderness, it was you who had been secretly guiding them all along.
tatro had a habit or characteristic, and that was, the more nervous he was the more relaxed he would appear, the more stressful or more dangerous the situation was, the more frivolous he would behave. Facing the powerful Kibir, he was not certain of victory.
No wonder Koria was able to lead his n from the Euphrates Valley into the Plains of Duc and find the Duc miners. The lord of Enlil City, Felix, had most likely sent such a team due to the guidance of this divine emissary Kibir. The true gods who transcend eternal life usually do not do the dirty work themselves, and due to so special covenants between the gods, they generally can not deal with mortals directly but can send their emissaries to complete so tasks.
tatro had dealt with the divine emissaries of the Ennead, and now this Kibir used similar tactics, directing an army in Enlil City to intercept the Ducians. If nothing else, it would have been a perfect surprise attack, but unfortunately, no one expected that the Ducians would be so strong that they would be able to take out all of Korias army!
Kibir watched Koria arrive at his destination accurately and left at that ti. His mission had been completed, and the rest had nothing to do with him. A high and mighty divine emissary usually did not participate in the battles of the mortals, as no one could guarantee that they would not encounter any unexpected situation. Once might be fine but if one does it a dozen tis, trouble might show up. Even if there is only one percent of the possibility of injury, no one can guarantee ones safety after a hundred fights. If the emissaries always got personally involved in the battles, then over the long years, most of the emissaries would have perished.
But todays situation was a bit special. Kibir just left a short ti ago, and he suddenly perceived that sothing had happened to the two mages under Koria. When Kibir rushed back to check, Korias force had been decimated. Furthermore, he found a person of suspicious status in the sky, supposedly another divine emissary, and could not resist showing up.
Hearing tatro whistling and talking, Kibir said angrily: Which gods emissary are you? Knowing that I am here on a mission by the order of the Great God Enlil, how dare you make trouble!
tatro waved the golden spear in his hand and said with a smile: Im afraid that your knowledge of this area is lacking, dont you know that this is the territory of Salem? The city of Salem is dedicated to God Amon and Goddess Mourrin, and I am the emissary of God Amon. To think that the great and noble god, Enlil, actually sent you to do this kind of murdering and kidnapping? Your mission is over, and those giant warriors have had their deserved end. They probably cant imagine that the gods are guiding them to their death!
Kibir coldly shouted: The reason why Koria died was due to his arrogance and incompetence! The gods have their own principles, they will give the mortals guidance, but will not do everything in the mortals stead. You have also completed your mission, but you should not insult another divine emissary in his face. As far as I know, Amon did not join the Anunnaki divine clan, you and I are not emissaries of the sa divine clan, so I am allowed to kill you!
The golden spear in tatros hand no longer moved, held steady in his hands, while the crystal shuttle beneath his feet transford into a huge white flower. He stood on the flower and said in a solemn voice: Want to fight with ? Then bring it on! I have been on the battlefield where I fought the continents number one warrior, Enkidu, and I witnessed his fall with my own eyes.
Kibir suddenly reached out his hands, pulling a belt of light out from thin air. Waving it forward, the light transford into burning flas, and the golden light behind him also turned into countless wings of fire, extending forward towards tatro. tatro could only feel his surroundings engulfed in flas, and he could no longer see his opponent.
The outer petals of the giant white flower unfolded, disappearing and lting in the flas, but quickly growing and spreading again, resisting the fire wings, while the inner petals gathered and wrapped around tatros body, turning into an ice-crystal-like armor to repel the fiery aura as he struggled to swing the Key of Destiny forward.
The sharp golden light slashed through, and the sky parted with a dark gap in the light. Kibirs figure was revealed in the gap, his face full of amazent as he did not expect tatros weapon to be so powerful. He occupied a favorable position, and with his back to the rising sun, he was able to unleash the full power of the fire wings, and he was originally confident that tatro would not be able to fight back but only struggle to defend himself.
Unexpectedly, the golden spear could cut through the light and darkness, although it did not change the power of Kibirs fire wings. The flas on both sides of the gap beca even stronger, but the cut in the middle of the gap was cool. Kibir hurriedly bowed his body and reaching out with his hand for a tug from the side, the red light of the flas condensed into a huge shield.
Golden light stabbed on the shield, causing an explosion of energy, and the two were unable to see each other clearly at this mont.
In the distant camp, Joshua and others were ordering those captured giant warriors to stand in line with their hands tied behind their backs. Suddenly, an explosion of golden light even brighter than the sun appeared high up in the sky. Everyone was montarily blinded, but when they squinted their eyes to see what was happening, they could not see anything unusual except for a white cloud gently floating in the sky.
tatro and Kibir both concealed their forms, and they were invisible to the people on the ground, but during the mont of the fierce exchange, they could not help but reveal themselves partially.
As golden light exploded, tatro stepped on the white flower and flew backward while also swinging the Key of Destiny backward, cutting a path through the flas. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from being surrounded by the opponents fire wings. Just then, the pervasive scorching heat suddenly disappeared, and when tatro looked up, he saw the rising sun, and Kibir was surprisingly gone.
tatro was a little bewildered, they only fought one round, but obviously, Kibirs was much more powerful. After the two sides have tested each others strength, Kibir clearly had the upper hand, so why did he suddenly disappear?
Just as he frowned, he saw a shuttle shooting towards him, and Lynks voice shouted from afar: tatro, are you okay? Who did you fight with just now, you nearly got cooked!
tatro wiped his cold sweat and shouted while panting: What cooked? Didnt you see how I scared him away with one strike!
Lynk had flown near him by now, and he said with a smile: Look at the crystal shuttle under your feet, the hot air has yet to dissipate. It was obviously because I had arrived, and he was scared away by ! Who is that by the way, so powerful? If I hadnt co, Im afraid you wouldnt have been able to withstand it alone.
tatro rebuked: You never forget to brag no matter when. It was who fought with him! This guy is a divine emissary under Enlil, the fiery god Kibir of Anunnaki.
Lynk sucked in a cold breath, no longer joking, and asked with his mouth open: Kibir? He and the ash god Nugus are the two great generals under Enlil, not ordinary small fry, to think that you would encounter him! If I did not co, you would have lost. So hows the strength of this legendary war general?
tatro replied: Definitely stronger than , he placed himself in an advantageous position before I noticed, and by then he had already gathered the power of his fire wings, striking when he thought that he could take care of in a single blow. But he did not expect to counterattack, and if he were to kill , he himself would be seriously injured!
Lynk patted his shoulder: No wonder God Amon was worried and asked to et you, I almost couldnt see you anymore!
tatro kicked him not too lightly. Cant you say sothing nice? It was the two of us who scared away the fiery god! To be honest, if you did not co, I was prepared to run away. Only if that was not an option would I truly fight him. This guys wings of flas are really powerful, and he also had the best position with his back to the sun. When I go back I have to think more about what happened!
Lynk comforted: Its good that everything is fine, the two of us combined may not be able to defeat him. He just found out that you are not without the power to fight back and did not want to take the risk, thats why he left. God Amon sent you to see the situation of the Ducians, how is it going over there?
tatro pointed to the far path: Sothing cropped up but its all good. Enlil City sent an army of giants to intercept the Ducians and the guards escorting them from Salem were no match, but the twelve Judges and David took care of them and are now preparing to continue the journey with the captives.
Lynk nodded: God Amon is wise, lets also follow behind and watch quietly, they will be safe when they reach Salem.
Lynk put away his shuttle and jumped on the crystal shuttle, and tatro controlled this white cloud to fly towards the direction of Salem. Suddenly, his body swayed, and the cloud under his feet almost scattered. Lynk gave him a hand in ti to stabilize the white cloud and asked in surprise: Whats wrong with you, are you injured?
tatro grabbed Lynks arm and replied in sowhat of a shock: No, not injured, maybe I used too much magical power in that exchange just now, I suddenly feel very weak. Thats not right, I shouldnt be feeling so weak!
Lynk looked at tatro and suddenly thought of sothing, his eyes showing a look of envy: So God Amon called to co, not because he knew that you would et Kibir, but because he was worried about your current condition. tatro, your test has co, actually faster than ! Let send you back to the Garden of Eden right now.
For Amons head disciple, tatro, to encounter the test of losing power also ant that he would soon break through to the eighth level of achievent. Lynk brought him back to the Garden of Eden, where Amon asked about his situation, before telling him: You dont have to worry about anything, just continue your training in the Garden of Eden as before. When you have ti, build so houses and plant so gardens. Forget the power you once had, and forget that you lost it. If you can do this and remain unchanged, this test will naturally pass.
tatro stayed in the Garden of Eden, while Joshua and other Ducians arrived safely in Salem and were stunned to see that a magnificent city had been built on their holand. When they entered the city, the original site of the town of Duc was still empty, except for a courtyard and a small building that looked very familiar. Aesop told them that it was the forr ho of God Amon built by himself. Joshua and the others could now continue to build their hos, and everything needed was prepared.
The city of Salem was also looking forward to the early arrival of the miners of Duc, as many things needed their help. The first and most urgent thing was that the parangons in Aesops possession were almost used up.
Lynk obtained the treasures of the goddess Mourrin, so how could Aesop lack parangons? Mourrins treasures were all special parangons, Amon also needed special parangons for building the Garden of Eden, and the consumption of ordinary parangons was even greater. For example, the cold spring in the Garden of Eden required an Aquaticore and twenty ordinary parangons.
Parangons were not only the universal currency on the continent, they were also materials for crafting artifacts and for the construction of magical formations. Although Salem had yet to construct a defensive formation on its city walls, Aesop built two forts between Salem and Enlil City, and the magical formations constructed for the forts had used up almost all the ordinary parangons and a large part of the special parangons in stock.
These two forts, which were also battle fortresses, were located on both sides of the road leading from Salem to the northern mountains, and each of them could garrison nearly a thousand soldiers. They not only guarded the road to the mines but also guarded the large farm fields outside the city. If Enlil City wanted to launch an attack on Salem, these two forts must be removed before they could siege the city, or else the army would be attacked from its rear when it attacks Salem.
These two forts were the top important projects of Salem in the past six months. Another important project was naturally the opening of the trade route in the Charcoal Marsh, but that work had been completed by Amon and the city of Syah on their behalf.
A group of special parangons was still in Aesops hands, and the quantity was not too much, it was specially left to him by Amon, and was not to be used easily. It was the wealth reserve of the city, and in the future, it would be necessary to buy strategic supplies through the trade route. In the past few years, during the construction of Salem, although large areas of land had been developed, and the city had built a lot of workshops, Aesop had also been incurring imnse amounts of expenses.
This place was where all the parangons ca from, there were many miners in the mines extracting parangons, and after such a long ti, quite a lot of parangons had been produced, but there was just one problem.
