The first was that Princess Sissila would smile at him, and she looked so happy. It was completely different from the forced smiles of the concubines around Sinnach. Her smile was as natural as a blooming flower. Sinach himself was also a supreme warrior. It was said that the sword he wielded on the battlefield was covered with a layer of bloody light. It could be seen that his murderous aura was very strong. Moreover, he was famous for his brutality. When the concubines saw him, their legs and stomachs would cramp. It was difficult for them to laugh even if they wanted to.
The second was that Princess Sissila would get angry at him and express her dissatisfaction. Her anger and dissatisfaction were different from the coldness of Queen Samir. It was a woman's petulance. As an emperor, Sinnach had many beauties at his beck and call. But none of his concubines dared to be so petulant with him. She even dared to express her dissatisfaction towards the specially built palace. And Princess Sissila had such a good sense of propriety. Her words just happened to make Sinnach happy.
Even if Sinnach owned the world, it was almost impossible for him to meet a woman like her. He had found a long-lost feeling between a man and a woman. It felt so good. There was only one word to describe Princess Sissila in his arms!
Amon and Gilgamesh hoped that Princess Sissila would find a chance to lure Sinnach to the wilderness. Little did they expect that the princess would settle the matter as soon as she met the Emperor of Assyria.
Princess Sissila didn't ask Sinnach when the wedding would be held. She knew that the Emperor would definitely make an announcement. She also didn't suggest the location of the hunting feast. It seemed like the Emperor had decided everything himself. No one would know about it in advance, so naturally, they wouldn't be too cautious.
If Sinnach really did set up camp in the hunting ground, then he would marry Princess Sissila. The security would be tight. But that was not something that the princess could worry about. If someone wanted to assassinate the Emperor, she would have to deal with it herself. She could only pray silently in her heart.
The reason why she lured Sinnach to the wilderness was that it was impossible to assassinate the Emperor in the city. The army of the Assyrian Empire was stationed in the city of Lys, and the area around the palace was the most heavily guarded. Not only were there guards on duty, but there were also court priests who were always on alert.
Even if a master could sneak in, the slightest movement would cause them to be surrounded by the army. It would be extremely difficult to escape. If that happened, it would not be an assassination, but a war. Even if they could find an opportunity to attack, the battle between masters could easily hurt innocent civilians. The situation would be out of control.
As a god, Amon was also planning to participate in this matter. This was also related to the plan he had discussed with Marduc. He could take this opportunity to show his strength and let Enril see what he was. Gods were different from mortals and even Level Nine Oracles. In a sense, they were just a condensation of body and mind, so some of their feelings were different from those of mortals.
For the gods, the killing formation of thousands of soldiers and horses was a very special place. Ordinary soldiers seemed vulnerable, but the killing intent of the tens of thousands of soldiers could more or less affect the physical and mental senses of the gods. As for how strong or weak it was, it depended on the morale of the soldiers in the formation. Although the disturbance was very weak and not enough to cause any harm, it had to be taken into account when fighting a master. So the gods would try to avoid such an occasion as much as possible.
If it was in the wilderness, the situation would be different. Even if Sinnach's security was tight, the hunting ground was just a form of entertainment, not a real war. Sinnach could not bring the entire army stationed in the city, so he could only bring the palace guards and the masters around him. Gilgamesh or Amon could only use a surprise attack to end the battle quickly. When the time came, there would inevitably be a fierce battle between the top masters in the world.
Sinnach was very decisive. The ceremony of conferring the title of Empress was set for two days later and he ordered the preparations to be made immediately. Although the officials of the Imperial Ministry of Interior thought that it might not be in line with the etiquette of the Empire, they could not go against Sinnach's will. Of course, an emperor had to consider safety when traveling. Someone reminded Sinnach to be careful of Amon, because Amun first became famous on the continent because of his surprise attack and capture of Hittite King Lucier.
Sinnach laughed when he heard the words, "Do you think I'm going to let go of that useless Lucier? Besides, how would people know that I'm going to marry Princess Sissila in the hunting ground? You're loyal to your duty, so go and make the arrangements! " Sinnach was different from Lucier. He was a supreme warrior who had personally led the army and killed countless enemies. Moreover, he decided to hold the ceremony in the hunting ground on the spur of the moment. No one knew about it beforehand, not even he himself.
Princess Sissila only made a suggestion. She did not ask Sinnach where the hunting feast would be held. However, she knew that the most suitable place for a large group of people to hold the feast would be the Lisi River Valley in the northwest of the city.
There were deep mountains connected to the hills, grassy slopes in the valley, and shrubs in the northwest. Deep in the mountains was a primeval forest with lush vegetation and many wild beasts. It had now been designated as the royal hunting ground of Emperor Sinnach. The grassy slopes in the valley were perfect for setting up camp. Princess Sissila could even roughly guess where to set up camp. Only an open grassy slope would be the most suitable.
Why was she so clear about the situation here? Because the princess's fief was in the city of Lisi. The hunting ground used to belong to her. Years ago, when Gilgamesh sent Humbaba's fangs and tendons to the capital of Bablon, the little duke even invited him to Lisi to hunt. It was in that place. Two days later, Princess Sissila had changed into her hunting attire. Escorted by the Imperial Guards, she left the city in a grandiose manner and headed for the hunting grounds. Princess Sissila sat in the carriage, while Sinnach rode in front of the procession on a pure black warhorse. The entourage included the important officials in Lisi, many of whom were civil officials. However, to please Sinnach, they all changed into warrior attire, except that they did not wear heavy armor.
As for the guards, they were of course quite strong. Five hundred elite imperial guards were dispatched. Not only the supreme warrior Cripps, but also four supreme warriors of the imperial generals who participated in the hunting. They were the generals of the imperial legions and happened to be in Lisi. Of course, they had to attend the hunting feast of Emperor Sinnach.
Including Sinnach himself, there were six supreme warriors in the procession. However, Samir, the most powerful warrior on the continent and Sinnach's other queen, was not present. Samir stayed in Lisi and did not participate in the hunting feast. Perhaps she was unhappy, but her reaction was normal.
There were also three supreme mages in the hunting party. In addition to the court supreme mage White, there was also a chief priest of the Straw League, one of the high priests of the Assyrian Kingdom, Diego Jorge, who happened to be in Lisi as well. The most powerful of all the mages was, of course, Faust, the Sage of the Nation.
There were not only warriors in the King's imperial guards, but also a group of court priests. Their duty was not only to protect Emperor Sinnach and Empress Sissila, but also to hold the conferring ceremony under Faust's leadership. This group of priests was probably more powerful than a single supreme mage. There were thirty of them, specially trained and equipped with standard staffs. They could form a magic formation to guard against any surprise attack at a critical moment. Their commander used to be White, but today he was replaced by Faust.
When the emperor went hunting, the group of priests who accompanied him were also given scrolls. This was also part of their strong fighting power. Scrolls could not be used on a large scale on a battlefield, as they were too expensive and could easily cause accidental injuries in a chaotic battle. However, they were a regular magical item when protecting the emperor, especially in the wilderness. They were perfect for setting up a magic formation and being used in batches. They had all kinds of miraculous offensive and defensive effects.
In order to prevent any unexpected situations, Faust had also ordered all the scrolls provided by the group of imperial priests to be stored in his own space ring. If there were any sudden incidents, he could command the priests to immediately set up a formation and use the scrolls in the formation. In the face of such a powerful force, it was simply impossible to assassinate Sinnach. It was Princess Sissila who managed to lure Sinnach to the hunting ground. But when she saw the formation, she regretted it and even secretly prayed that Gilgamesh would not come.
Some people had already set up camp on the grassy slope between the hills. In the middle of the camp was a luxurious leopard skin tent. The tent was like a small palace. The front part of the tent was open, with seats for Sinnach and Princess Sissila, and a separate seat for Faust next to it. There were also many tents in front of the tent, forming an open space with tables and cushions. This was where the hunting feast and the conferring ceremony would be held. As for the tent at the back, it would be the bedroom of Sinnach and Princess Sissila after their marriage.
When the crowd arrived, everything had already been prepared. Sinnach was now a man of action, and a large scale hunting party was about to begin. The emperor rode a warhorse with a longbow in his hand and galloped into the wilderness. His guards flanked him from both sides, neither too far nor too close.
Princess Sissila did not ride a horse. She sat in a chariot and followed Sinnach's horse from afar, cheering and jumping for joy. The driver was the female giantess, Yi Dammit. Little did Princess Sissila know that the female giantess in front of her was the most powerful being among them. She waved her embroidered handkerchief and shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful! Ever since the great flood in the Plains of Duc, monsters have been appearing in the deep mountains here. "
Sinnach laughed and said, "I can't wait for a monster to rush out and kill it myself in front of you."
Serving the emperor on a hunting trip was a tough job. Not only did they have to protect His Majesty from being hurt by the beasts, but they also had to let His Majesty have fun and show off his power by killing the beasts. Fortunately, Sinnach himself was a supreme warrior. Ordinary beasts could not hurt him at all, which saved him a lot of trouble.
In fact, some warriors and priests had already arrived at the forest in front of them. They were hard at work carrying out two tasks. One was to check if there were any assassins lying in ambush in the mountains, and the other was to drive the beasts out of the mountains. Otherwise, the beasts would have been scared away by such a huge commotion in the wilderness. How could Sinnach continue his hunt?
Sinnach was indeed brave. He drove the frightened beasts out of the forest, and his arrows did not miss their target. He killed five deer, three antelopes, a leopard and two bears in a row. The warriors on both sides of him also had their own kills. The grand hunt finally came to an end when the horses were tired and their nostrils were puffing white smoke.
The game was transported back to the camp, washed and cooked before being served at the banquet. The tired officials escorted Sinnach out of the wilderness and back to the camp. If someone wanted to assassinate Sinnach, the most dangerous moment had passed. Most of the guards in charge of security were relieved. Sigh.
It was already afternoon. The ceremony to confer the title of Empress would be held before sunset, followed by a grand bonfire banquet. Princess Sissila sat in her chariot and looked up at the sky. The expression in her eyes was either disappointment or relief.
It seemed that the assassin had given up on the plan. Even the princess herself could not tell if she wanted Gilgamesh to come out or not. Just then, Yi Li, who was driving the chariot, suddenly turned his head to the east in the direction of the Lys River. Everyone immediately looked in that direction because they heard the clopping of hooves. It was a strange situation. Unless there were tens of thousands of horses galloping, the sound of hooves from a single horse could not be heard from so far away. But this knight had used a kind of magic, fearing that no one would know of his arrival. Everyone, including Sinnach, had a strange expression on their faces. They were not nervous, but more curious.
A small dot appeared on a hill in the distance. But with the eyesight of the experts, they could clearly see that it was a warrior on horseback. This person was riding a pure white horse, with a golden shield in his left hand and a golden spear in his right. He wore a bright silver armor and a fiery red cloak fluttered in the wind. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, and the sunlight shone on his handsome face and mighty figure, making him look so energetic.
Bows were nocked, swords were unsheathed, and the priests took out their staffs, ready to face the enemy. Sinach smiled and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be so nervous. He shouted to the newcomer, "Which hero has come to my hunting ground? If you are here to congratulate me on my wedding with Princess Sissila, I will pardon your trespass. Throw away your weapons and dismount, and you can join my hunting feast! "
Princess Sissila's heart was in her throat when she saw a god-like knight appear in the distance. But when the man came close enough for her to see clearly, she realized that it was Metatro. She couldn't help but feel surprised and disappointed at the same time. Medanzo replied in a loud voice, "My name is Medanzo, and I come from Shileng! Sinnach, I'm not here to drink, I'm here to kill you! " While answering, Medanzo had already galloped forward on his horse. He bent his upper body slightly forward, raised his shield in his left hand, and pointed the golden spear in his right. He was only one man and one horse, but he was in a charging stance. The sound of hooves echoed across the grassland, as if thousands of horses were galloping. Medanzo was still quite a distance away. He dashed down a hillside and then disappeared. His line of sight was blocked by a small hill. When he galloped up the hill again, his shield was already shining with golden light, making him look like a majestic god. He was really bold, so bold that there was no limit to his boldness. He actually dared to charge at so many experts.
Sinnach was on his way back to the camp. Some of the guards had already returned to the camp in advance to prepare for the ceremony and the feast. There were about two hundred guards with him. Except for Cripps, the commander of the guards, the other four supreme warriors were also present. Medanzo's action was both surprising and amusing, but no one dared to be negligent.
Two supreme warriors led dozens of riders to meet him, followed by the supreme mage Diego Joao, who was holding his staff high. They were the head of the legion, the commander of the vanguard, and the chief priest. They were already very familiar with each other. At this moment, it was a good opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty.
Medanzo seemed to be in a charging stance, but when he was about to reach the battle range, he suddenly changed. He threw the golden shield in his hand out like a battle axe, and at the same time, leaped high from the back of his horse and swung down with all his might in mid-air.
The shield was blocked by two rays of sword light in front of the cavalry formation, exploding into a ball of golden light and shattering into pieces. The supreme mage Diego Joao also sacrificed a ray of light to cover the charging warriors. Dozens of spears whistled into the air. A golden ray of light fell from the sky, as if separating light and darkness. A powerful momentum swept away the flying spears and hit the light of the guard formation.
The light was shattered, and the two supreme warriors roared and leaped high. Two arcs of sword light crossed to block the golden light, but at this moment, they heard the neighing of horses. The attack from the sky was blocked, and the warriors could still bear the aftermath of the energy, but the horses under them could not bear it and fell to the ground.
Shinach shouted, "This man is the general of Leng, be careful of the weapon in his hand, kill him!" After saying that, he pulled out his sword and urged his horse to rush over. As soon as His Majesty moved, the whole formation moved. The guards were divided into two wings, and under the leadership of the two supreme warriors, they also moved to outflank the King. The court supreme mage White flew above the king in mid-air and threw two scrolls from afar.
Wild wind blades erupted, and the sky was filled with blurry light. Medanzo waved his golden spear and drew a circle in the air. An invisible energy shield appeared in the air, blocking the opponent's attack. He somersaulted in the air and landed on the ground. At this time, a large group of people had rushed over and formed a battle formation.
