At this time, Gazi Mountain is still fighting, and General Agason has been here for more than half a month.
However, the war was not intense, and it had already formed a situation of confrontation between the mountains and the mountains.
Because the situation at the moment is that both sides have nothing to do with each other.
Dexian people at the foot of the mountain was already tired. In addition, they came from various tribes and there was no unified command. Although there were many people, the poorly equipped herdsmen had never been able to attack the mountain.
There are not many trees on Gazi Mountain, so even if Dexian people sets fire to the mountain, it will not have any effect. Besides, they dare not set fire to the holy mountain.
However, the devout Dexia herdsmen have not left their holy mountain that has been besieging them.
Agason's troops had already used up their throwing spears and crossbow bolts, but Sigismund moved a large number of wall-building stones from the burned temples on the mountain and used local materials to provide Agason's troops with sufficient defensive weapons.
The advantage of defending against the mountain is indeed great. In addition, Agason's troops are well-armored, and Dexian people has not even been able to cause any heavy losses to them.
But Agason has too few people in hand, and it is indeed impossible to break out of the siege now.
In fact, Dexian people also tried to negotiate with Agason, but the problem was that the two parties did not understand the language, so the negotiation naturally ended in vain.
Right now, Agason is discussing countermeasures with Sigismund.
"Sinclair, I don't think we can keep guarding like this. If we continue like this, I'm worried that Bahad Khan Kadan's army will come here."
Agason said with some worry, "These herdsmen will certainly be unable to do anything to us, but if the Dexia army comes, we will not be able to deal with it..."
"Don't worry so much, General Agason, we can still hold on for at least a month, Lord Li Ang's troops will come to relieve the siege soon!"
Sigismund is not in a hurry - Li Ang sent him to Gazi Mountain just to let him hold off Agason to prevent this brave general from making a dangerous breakthrough.
"Why do I feel like I've been deceived by Li Ang? Could he have deliberately let me attract these Dexian people here? I've probably become the devil in Dexian people's heart?"
Agason looked at Sigismund who was calm and composed, and simply asked out the doubts in his heart.
"Look at what you said...General Agason, Lord Li Ang kindly provided you with a good way to quickly obtain a large number of good horses, and even asked Sinclair to bring people to help you. This is all for free! This is entirely for your friendship..."
Sarah next to him took over the conversation. "It's not like you don't know Lord Li Ang's temperament. The Dexia herdsmen here are as poor as some named Delia. Lord Li Ang will not do business with poor people."
This is true...
Agason thought about it and felt that as a person like Li Ang, he really would not do business with these ragged herdsmen. After all, he had promised to provide the horses here to the Bacchus Empire - these herdsmen really did not have anything valuable except horses.
"But we can't kill those people at the bottom of the mountain... I'm afraid we won't get those horses."
Agason is still thinking about the horses.
"Don't worry, there are so many of them surrounding here, and I'm afraid they have run out of food now. We will have a chance sooner or later. Besides, we have infantry in our hands. If we really break through and go down the mountain, the end will be obvious..."
Sigismund found a stone and began to sharpen his big sword.
Agason shook his head, sighed, and looked at the soldiers around him - they were indeed infantry.
Sigismund brought all gladiators, while Agason brought a fleet before, so of course he didn't bring any mounts. Most of his men were imperial legion infantry and cuirass crossbowmen.
It is indeed impossible to break out of the mountain. Leaving the mountain area, the massive nomadic cavalry can easily defeat this infantry team of only more than a thousand people.
So Agason had no choice but to start patrolling the defense, just like he had done every day for more than half a month.
"Sarah, I think General Agason may not be able to bear it anymore - this is the third time he plans to break out."
Seeing Agason walking away, Sigismund said to Sarah.
"To be honest, I can't bear it any longer. I've been stuck in the mountains and haven't been able to take a shower. I feel like I'm already rotten..."
Sarah's focus is obviously not on Agason's mood. After all, if the mountain does not rescue the siege, no one will dare to break through and go down the mountain. Agason has to endure it no matter how anxious it is.
"Aha? Let me see..."
Sigismund leaned over and smelled it with a playful smile, "It's not rancid, it still smells delicious... How about I go to the top of the mountain to get some snow and let you take a bath?"
"Go away... the army is full of men, how can I wash it?"
Sarah pushed Sigismund's head away. "Lord Li Ang mentioned a legend to me before... Sinclair, do you know, Goddess of Order Eunomia also lives in the snow-capped mountains. It is said that Goddess Mountain to the north of Seven Forks Fortress also had a miracle of Goddess bathing?"
"There is this rumor, and everyone in Lion Territory and Raven Territory should know it. It is said that Griffin Knights was founded because of a miracle. Back then, late king Kavala was chasing a very The griffin-like animals went to Goddess Mountain, and saw Goddess bathing in snow water in the lake on the mountain, and got Oracle - but those are all legends, there are no griffins now, let alone bathing..."
Sigismund suddenly paused when he said this, glanced at Sarah, and his eyes widened suddenly. "Sarah, are you trying to impersonate Goddess?"
"No, I just want to take a shower... As for what other people will think, that's their business. I'm not pretending to be Goddess, I'm just here to carry out Lord Li Ang's arrangements..."
Sarah looked back at the snow-capped mountain top. "We burned the God Vata temple - if the temple had just been burned, the miracle of Goddess Eunomia would appear on the holy mountain... Then, what do you think this means?"
"Huh..."
Sigismund took a long breath and grinned. "This means that Dexia's God Vata is a false god! And the true god Eunomia came in person to destroy Gazi Mountain! Dexian people will lose their greatest reliance... they will lose their faith!"
"Yeah, maybe, this is the god using Lord Li Ang's hand to let me return to this place... to save Dexia."
Sarah was still looking at the white snow on the top of Gazi Mountain, which was illuminated by the sun with a silvery brilliance, like the legendary holy light.
"Back to this place?"
Sigismund was a little confused. "Sarah, what does this mean?"
"I was born there, Sinclair. My mother gave birth to me there - at that time, my father was following Kadan to conquer the world."
Sarah pointed at a temple located above the snow line, which was the main temple of the Holy Mountain that was burned down by Sigismund himself.
The children of many tribal leaders will indeed be born in the holy mountain temple. This is a Desha tradition, in order to receive the blessing of God Vata at birth - Vata, a strong male horse, symbolizes strength, force, prosperity and reproduction.
In the era when Sarah was born, the Holy Mountain Temple was not as degraded as it is now. The ascetics in the temple also played a role of medical care, so the survival rate at birth here was indeed higher.
It's just that Sarah has never lived near the Holy Mountain. Shortly after she was born, her father Sarafan Shaikh had a conflict with Kadan.
"If I destroy your faith, then in what name will you continue to carry out your jihad?"
Sarah looked at the top of the mountain and murmured, his eyes as cold as knives.
Sigismund looked at Sarah thoughtfully and held her shoulders. "Sarah, I don't want to ask you what you have experienced... but I will fulfill your wish."
"This is not my wish, this is Lord Li Ang's idea. Counting the days, you should be here soon... Sinclair, I remember you left the head of a demon war horse as a souvenir in Bax?"
Sarah turned around, with a charming smile on his face again.
When Li Ang led his army to Gazi Mountain, he happened to catch a wonderful show.
Gazi Mountain is no longer fighting.
But the crowd gathered under Gazi Mountain is still there, but they are all kneeling on the ground, looking at the top of the mountain attentively.
Even when Li Ang led his army to a position more than a hundred meters behind them, they still did not look back.
Above the snow line on the top of the mountain, just above the burned temple, you can vaguely see a black horse and a woman.
It's too far away from the bottom of the mountain to see clearly. People and horses are as small as ants.
But with the white snow as the background and the afternoon sunshine, the entire Gazi Mountain has an excellent view. At least all the people and horses can be seen clearly.
The woman on the top of the mountain seemed to be holding a spear and a shield in her hands, because the shield and the spear reflected dazzling golden light from time to time, making it look like some kind of artifact was shining brightly.
The robe she wore seemed to be very thin. It was blown into long waves by the wind on the top of the snow mountain, and her long hair was flying in the wind. This was obviously not a normal woman. Most people would not dare to climb to the top of the snow mountain wearing only a thin silk robe.
And most importantly, she seems to be suspended in the air?
It's too far away to see clearly, but it definitely doesn't look like it's on the ground.
And the black horse also looked unusual, its eyes were always glowing red!
Against the background of the snowy mountains, the red light in the eyes of this black horse is particularly obvious. At a glance, you can tell that this is definitely not a normal horse.
A majestic black horse with glowing red eyes appears on the top of Gazi Mountain, which is completely impossible for the horse to climb. What does this mean to Dexian people?
This is an obvious miracle...
Moreover, in Dexian people's eyes, this must be God Vata's response to the burning of the temple on the holy mountain - the god himself came to deal with the enemies on the holy mountain!
So the herdsmen at the foot of the holy mountain all prostrated themselves on the ground, only raising their heads and staring at the movement on the mountain.
The woman with the spear faced off against the black horse.
Soon after, the black horse seemed to move, as if it was going to attack the woman.
The woman thrust out the spear in her hand from a long distance away, as if pointing from a distance...
And at this moment, an earth-shattering 'magic' happened in full view of everyone!
After the woman thrust out the spear, a terrible fire suddenly erupted from the black horse, and along with the fire, a huge plume of smoke rose!
And the dark horse was blown to pieces in an instant!
The herdsmen at the foot of the mountain became silent at this moment. They were stunned - only gods can produce such an effect with just a finger!
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the people at the bottom of the mountain heard the "rumbling" thunder...
Along with this thunder, the snow on the top of the mountain began to collapse...
That's an avalanche!
People under Gazi Mountain have seen this scene before. In certain thunderstorm weather, the snow on the top of the mountain will indeed collapse!
That woman... what she used on the dark horse... was a thunderstorm?!
The snow on the top of the mountain began to flow down, bringing up bursts of white mist, but the woman did not move. She just stood there holding a spear and shield, not even looking back at the collapsing snow.
The low sound of avalanches continues all the time. Even at the foot of the mountain, one can fully realize the power of nature. No one can compete with heaven and earth.
But the snow was completely unable to invade the woman - everyone was sure that she was indeed suspended in the air!
Anyway, from the bottom of the mountain, the snow was rushing past her feet, burying the torn remains of the black horse, but it did not affect her at all.
She is still floating above the temple intact, without moving a step - this must be an ability that only Goddess has, right?
The snow at Gazi Mountain was not thick, and the avalanche stopped not long after.
At this time, the woman raised her shield, and at the same time another puff of white smoke rose up, covering her figure.
After the smoke cleared, the woman - or rather the Goddess - disappeared!
Dexian people at the foot of the mountain began to make a noise, and then the noise gradually turned into one voice - a neat cry.
Every Dexian people cried bitterly. They even dropped their weapons and collapsed on the ground, all of them looking ashen.
The 'miracle' on the top of the mountain was so obvious that everyone could realize that their God Vata was beaten to pieces by another Goddess!
As for Goddess, who holds a spear and shield, there is only one in the Pande Continent - the main god of Lion Territory, God of Order and Zeal, Eunomia.
"Iron God above... what is that... is it a miracle?"
Kloze couldn't close his mouth at this time, widened his eyes and nervously asked the lord next to him.
"Yes, a miracle... but don't worry, this 'Goddess' is one of our own. It seems that we came at the right time."
Li Ang raised his eyebrows and began to give orders. "Send the order to march! Dispel these Dexian people and get all those horses over..."
"Ha!!"
After witnessing the miracle of 'Goddess of Order Killing Wata' with his own eyes, the people under Li Ang were naturally highly motivated and even shouted back orders with great energy.
Agason on the mountain can finally start to 'break out' down the mountain, but this is no longer a breakthrough, but a direct descent to the mountain to grab the horse...
Because those Dexia herdsmen have no fighting spirit at all, and many of them are even waiting to die. Most of them are still staring at the place where 'Goddess' disappeared, which is where 'God Vata' was blown to pieces.
At this moment, behind the temple on the holy mountain, behind the high wall that people below the mountain cannot see, Sigismund is wrapping a trembling Sarah in a thick quilt.
"You didn't get frostbite, did you?"
Sigismund brought a bowl of hot soup and fed Sarah to drink it to keep away the cold.
"No... but it's really cold... and my legs are cramped! You guys keep swinging that white pole!"
Sarah hugged his shoulders, trembled and complained.
