Chapter 1711 The True God
Even Elidu students who only received basic education could calculate the daily expenses of this army. Even in the feudal era in Europe, this was still a number that shocked many "dukes" and even "kings". In this era of low productivity, no one except centralized monarchs like the emperor were able to complete the expenses.
For the livestock used for transportation alone, two thousand soldiers holding leverage rifles needed more than three thousand war horses. In order to ensure that the grain transport team that set out before the army could transport grain and supplies to the stations along the way on time and on time, the emperor set up a marching station for each 300 to 400 kilometers, responsible for replenishing and transporting goods to the army. More than four thousand horses and cattle were brought in, and more than two thousand vehicles traveling between the Mesopotamian Plain and the Sinai Peninsula.
The emperor mobilized more than 10,000 people for this war, many of whom had received basic education from Elidu. Some of these people were children bought by the emperor from various villages more than 20 years ago and the descendants of those children. They were the pillars that supported the entire Elidu's rights radiation range. The draw of these people would cause Elidu's entire administrative and production system to fall into a dilemma of manpower. Not only that, the temple came to produce profits from the formation of travelers and exploration teams over the past 20 years. Even the wine sealed with clay pots and clay in the temple was only one tenth. This ruby-colored sweet liquid, which was more expensive than gold, was sold to the Mesopotamian plains and various landlords far away in Egypt in exchange for gold that could buy food and copper mines.
Although he was not responsible for leading the army, Captain Miller still felt that the responsibility he shouldered was very heavy.
Eli was unable to launch a second expedition.
"Master Miller, you're finally here. There are some new situations in Egypt that you need to know."
This is the closest site to Egypt, and it is also the most dangerous site. Although it is nominally a trade station made of stone and surrounded by wooden stakes, responsible for purchasing food produced by Egypt, which is now the Neolithic village complex, no matter how well the cover is done, the aliens who manipulate mutant slaves have noticed it. Fortunately, perhaps because of their arrogance, they believe that the human race cannot hinder the work of creating biochemical slaves, and there is no real attack here.
The young man with messy black curly hair was holding the reins, full of excitement.
Captain Miller knew him, and the young man was also his student. He clearly remembered that the young man's shooting score was the highest among the students of that class. He was able to smash five pots ten meters away in three seconds with a revolver, creating a shooting record in the school. Therefore, his name was engraved on a clay board and stored in the school's showroom.
"Apagne, where is Moore?" Captain Miller jumped off his horse and handed the reins to the young man. Behind him, an army of two thousand men had skillfully built tents, received the food and wood from the station, and prepared to make lunch and defense facilities. "He wrote two months ago to tell me that he would wait for me here."
"Die. Almost a month ago, the alien bastard slaves attacked him and hung the burnt wreckage on the tree - may his soul return to the throne - now I am the person in charge here, and all the people above me are dead." Apagne shouted, "But I assure you that the warehouse has not suffered any losses, and that several temptations of those slaves have been thwarted by us. More importantly, our spies have observed the alien headhunter. In addition, we have also captured a slave belonging to the alien headhunter, and are now locked in a dungeon, intending to send it to the temple next time we ship the goods. Are you interested in participating in the interrogation?"
"What did you ask? Has the informant been exposed?"
"Informers are still safe. Not everyone is willing to surrender to those alien bastards. Hunters in many villages cooperate with us. alien bastards cannot find any informants. Our bid is very high, with too few people. We can't monitor all alien bastards' spaceships by ourselves." Apagne shook his eyes at Captain Miller, as if he was choking at some difficult words. "As for the slaves we caught, they are still the same as in the past, and they can't ask anything, Master. I heard that the temple sent wizards, and the wizards must know something we don't know. Maybe you have some different ideas, Master."
Captain Miller glanced at him, then looked at the representative copper ring on Apaganne's hand, and knew the source of the latter. The confidentiality level of the intelligence system was extremely strict, and Captain Miller could not guarantee that he could know all the secrets at his location. The head of a temporary site like Apaganne knew very little, and even the types of aliens were unknown. Only high-level members of the Saint Shield Council like him could know the location of the Kree's home star.
As for those travelers who do not have access to the intelligence system, they only think that the so-called "Blue Angel" is a kind of demon. Captain Miller has to admit that the emperor's argument that "needing the truth does not mean accepting the truth" does make some sense. Humans in this era cannot accept the fact that there are smart lives on other planets. At least before humans gain the rationality and power to fight against the cruel truth, widely spreading the truth will only cause trouble, and it is not as good as the excuse of religious jihad to mobilize Ellidu's power.
"I assure you, Apagane. I know nothing about it."
Captain Miller didn't know much about the biochemical slaves created by the Kerry people, because the appearance of those slaves is as strange as their abilities. Generally speaking, the more severe the deformed, the stronger the ability, but this is just a sign used to allow frontline soldiers and spies to simply judge the enemy's abilities. Some slaves still retain the appearance of humans, but their abilities are equally powerful. Therefore, informants responsible for pretending to be a businessman for spy work are often in danger. The cost of capturing a slave is huge. A few captured slaves have to be sent to the temple for research after being interrogated. There are no more than fifty slaves who can be sent to the temple alive for 20 years.
"I must fill my stomach anyway. There is also an order from the temple. Since Mour is dead, you are the person in charge. The report has been sent to the temple."
This sense of pride from civilization is the source of loyalty.
But the emperor's purpose has always been utilitarian, and Elidu's existence may be just a tool to fight against the Kerry. Captain Miller doesn't know what attitude the emperor will treat Elidu after ending this war against alien civilizations. After all, in all future archaeological work, there is very little information about Elidu. Does this mean that the emperor will abandon that city? But now it's useless to say anything. Captain Miller is sure that as long as he raises doubts here, Apagne will point his gun at his head, completely ignoring his former professorship and current membership of the Council.
"It's true, the emperor will come here."
Apagne, who got the answer, smiled. He took apart the sealing wax on the parchment scroll and quickly browsed the words written on the paper. "The order of the Imperial Guards. In another month, the emperor will arrive, and we must prepare in advance." Apagne said as he looked at the contents on the parchment, "This is really good news. But how will the emperor come here, Master? It is half a year away from Ellie. Should He ride in the legendary flame carriage?"
"You know that's not a flame carriage."
"Of course we know, but others don't, and the Egyptians don't know, they even need help smelting copper ore. Besides, the flame carriage is better than the transport machine, doesn't it?" Apagne wrote his own seal and the seal of the site on the parchment paper with satisfaction. "There is also a can of wine on the next supply list. I'm willing to share this wine with you, Master."
"As far as I know, most of the wine in the temple is now sold to nearby landlords." Captain Miller smiled and put away the parchment paper. "When you receive the pot, it's best to see if there is a seal on the seal. I believe you know what the wine made from wild grapes tastes."
Apagne stuck out his tongue.
"That's just a ridiculous thing when I was a student. There's no need to remember it for so long, Master Miller. I just stole a bottle of wine from your cabinet."
————————————
"It's almost time for an appointment, Inanna."
"Wait a little longer!"
Salomon stood at the door of the room and rolled his eyes in anger.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Imperial Guard Commander Constantine looked at his master in surprise. He rarely had emotional actions on the emperor. Now when facing Inanna, he seemed to have an expression when he was with a witch. The Imperial Guard Commander did not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. However, this is the emperor's personal affairs. Although the Imperial Guard Cultivate has the right to make suggestions, every Imperial Guard believes that there is no need to express any opinions on this.
"We're going to be late," the emperor reminded, "no one can be late when facing Ago Motorcycle."
"We're going to pass the portal instead of the carriage, aren't we?" Inanna came out of the room. "Ago Motorcycle is a man who needs to be taken seriously. He is much stronger than the wild gods."
"I believe Ago Motorcycle won't care about this. This is the last time he has roamed the universe with his body, and I need to discuss the next work with him. It's important, and if you're interested, you'll know a lot of secrets."
"That's why I need exquisite eye makeup. Look, is there any difference?"
Inanna wore exquisite dresses that the emperor ordered professional weavers to sew for her, and wore all the jewelry that could be used as ritual instruments on her body. She looked like a statue of god wrapped in gold and gems. The costume style of this era would continue to the Roman period. Inanna wore a paradise dress that was the most standard lady's outfit. The emperor had no doubt that she would turn into a ball of light shining and sparkling fire when she walked into the sun, reflecting many light balls. Without that lion leather cloak, she would hurt the retina of many innocent residents of Ellie.
"Your eye makeup is a bit different from the last time. Do you need me to use a laser ruler to measure it?"
"It's so caring, my dear." Inanna angrily put her waist on her waist, "Why are you still wearing this robe? I'm not saying that your robe is not good enough, but you should wear your armor and bring your weapons to show your power of war. We are facing a real ancient god, who knows whether he will kill us!"
"I believe Ago Motorcycle won't care about my dressing." Seeing Inanna still showing jewelry and weapons she carried with her, the emperor could only sigh, "I can only talk to him about the problems that this world will face, and I believe he won't want our lives. In fact, I can be absolutely sure of this."
The emperor rubbed the sky blue gem ring on his finger.
This Tianyuanzhu Ring represents the Ago Motorcycle.
It was not easy to ask Inanna to wear clothes, and the emperor spent at least nearly twenty years on it. Before that, due to the sultry and humid climate and unevolved moral concepts, the women in Elidu were quite loose, and many of the poorer villages chose to expose their upper bodies. Inanna, who was fleshed in the Mesopotamian plains, accepted the same idea. If it were not for the emperor's special request more than twenty years ago, she would only choose to wear linen skirts and lion leather cloaks when she received Elidu women and female priests every week.
With the advancement of productivity and the expansion of trade routes, Inanna now has more styles of clothing to choose from, but in her conception, naked body is still an extremely sacred thing. When she is about to face the oldest shaman of the human species, she believes that this is as sacred as a sacred marriage. Every night, when she asks for a sacred marriage to the emperor to bless the prosperity of the earth, she will ensure that she has nothing but gold jewelry. For humans in the early stages of civilization, reproduction is not to satisfy lust but to increase the population. The moral concept of later generations does not apply at this time.
She represents fertility and reproduction. Indulgence is her nature and a virtue that can be praised.
At least four thousand years later, under the combined effect of the development of human civilization, the withering of the gods in the wilderness and the evolution of human needs for religion, the demand is flawless, and the royal power of the human system that overlooks all human weaknesses and has no moral flaws can reject the primitive the theocracy represented by Inanna. The emperor never told Inanna about these future changes, because it has nothing to do with the creatures they are going to face.
Ago Motorcycle.
This name has evolved into a title, even the most manic soul will become cautious and careful when it emits these syllables. For the wild gods, the power and immortal soul of Ago Motorcycle are more like a god than a human. Although Ago Motorcycle repeatedly claims to be a human, many wild gods regard Ago Motorcycle as their kind. Just like Inanna when she looked at the emperor, Inanna was no exception. In her opinion, the emperor is a member of the wild gods, and Ago Motorcycle is also. This is in a sense.
Inanna is correct - Ago Motorcycle is still the first batch of ancient gods Oshutu, born on the planet, and Hoggs, who is also an ancient god from another planet. This spirit was fleshed in the body of a human on Earth millions of years ago, and fleshed in the name of Ago Motorcycle. Having a human body does not mean becoming a human being. This is the concept that Inanna keeps repeating to the emperor. Although the emperor believes that choices from the heart can better define human identity than human bodies, he believes that Ago Motorcycle has the same idea.
Now Ago Motorcycle is dying.
His soul is immortal, but his body cannot bear this immortal power.
"This is our second time, in the physical sense, face to face."
In front of the emperor, the shriveled and thin old shaman in a tattered crimson robe was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed. The dust on his body almost integrated him with the cave located on the cold mountain range. There were no traces of life in this cave. The snow that poured in from the entrance of the cave unceremoniously buried the utensils that seemed to be pottery pots on the ground. The temperature here was very low, far lower than when the future emperor lived here. Except for the water bear insects, no natural creature could survive here. Always living in the humid and warm Mesopotamian plain, Inanna obviously didn't know how to maintain her body temperature in such an environment. She could only wrap her lion leather cloak tightly and let the cold wind pouring into the cave blew the golden lapis lazuli necklace on her neck.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "When Odin's idiot intends to leave this planet with humans driven by psychic energy, I know who you are, a child. I am very happy to see that my plan can succeed, at least much better than the son of the idiot Baoer. Tell me how their result is."
"It is facing destruction. There is no doubt that Bower and Odin's attempt to fight the external dimension failed. Asgard cannot escape his established destiny. Ragnarok is just a feast for the soul harvesting of the external dimension."
The emperor did not answer, and the one who actually spoke was a thin ghost in the cave.
"Teacher." The emperor lowered his head and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"You are going to solve the biggest doubt here." The Supreme Mage stood beside Ago Motorcycle, "The secrets this planet doesn't want to tell you, Ago Motorcycle will tell you."
"If I remember correctly, I am the supreme wizard of this era."
"The one in front of you is my student. I raised him, watching him learn to walk and read, watching him wear armor, pick up weapons, and use swords and wisdom to fight our eternal enemy. So in front of him, I am the Supreme Mage." Gu Yi said without hesitation, "As far as I know, he is not your original plan. Your original plan, Oshutu and Hoggs failed, you will become the Emperor of Vishan. You do not have the ability to prevent the outer dimension from encroaching on material planes, abandoning the body, and supporting him with all your strength is your only choice. He has long known his mission, and you must explain to him how this planet nurtured him, and only in this way can you ensure that your plan is on track."
Ago Motorcycle was not angry about Gu Yi's rudeness. After all, becoming Weishan Emperor was a destined result.
"Are you sure you want to share this secret with your spouse?" He looked at the emperor, "This secret is known only to the future Emperor Weishan, the successive supreme wizards and the consciousness of this planet. This is the greatest bet in this universe, and the bargaining chips are every microscopic particle in this universe and this material plane. If the plan fails, then the universe will leave nothing."
"I brought her here." The emperor stretched out his hand to pull Inanna before him. The queen of heaven, the goddess of sex and war, trembled with excitement, "I and her soul will be tied together with fate, and my plan cannot be separated from her."
"I can guess what your wish to save the world is, child." Ago Motoro stood up from the ground with difficulty, and the cold little stone in his palm brought him countless rough scars that healed after countless scratches. "I want to correct some of your ideas and the misunderstandings that your teacher has always been. This planet is not your true mother - pregnancy, this word is not very accurate. This planet is just providing you with nutrition. The stone in my hand, one of the atoms, will become part of the flesh and blood in millions of years - what you thought that constitutes your soul, the knowledge that was born to know is not part of you. It is just a nourishment for the soul, a sacrifice, and knowledge is just a by-product."
"Sacrifice?" The emperor had some premonition, and he would not like the next answer.
