The next morning Flavio awake hugged by his wives, including Miyuki, who arrived at dawn after finis.h.i.+ng with Amaterasu and mother Tonantzin to perform the rituals to consolidate the wonder.
Very carefully, Flavio tried to get out of bed but was stopped when the doors of the room opened, and Arisai came in carrying little Aule, and Bastet flew in to hug her dad.
Flavio kissed his little daughter on the forehead. "As you woke up, Bastet, I hope you slept well with mom Arisai."
Bastet nodded his little head and stayed glued to Flavio"s neck as Arisai approached. "I see all of you work hard tonight.
Darling, Amaterasu came to see me, she informs me that you just need to get up to be able to inaugurate the wonder and thereby end the influence of the fourth dimension on us. "
Flavio smiled and looked around. "You can tell her that in an hour, we will be on the bridge, and Arisai, thanks for the warning."
Arisai showed his thumb and left the room to speak to Amaterasu and prepare everything necessary for the big event.
While this was happening in the crimson palace in the city, Hanovi was talking with some priests to be able to search all the members of the tribes, and hundreds of pilgrims began cleaning the thousands of skins that tribal warriors had collected at night.
Thor and Loki woke up when the sun was at its peak, so they got quite tired and, with the help of some priestesses, took them to the crimson palace so they could rest comfortably.
Outside the wall, the soldiers began to burn the bodies of the beings that attacked the city to prevent the proliferation of diseases and also started with the creation of a moat around the city.
The Centurion in charge of the cavalry who was on the wall was talking to the tribal leader Anjali "I was surprised to find this wall and hundreds of bodies in the morning you could see the display of strength of the G.o.ds."
Anjali nodded as he recharged on the wall and saw the piles of fire "It was something surprising an event that I will never forget, Thunder, Surprising Fire attacks and even rain that took the skin off those beasts.
The power of the G.o.ds is something I am sure I do not want to prove personally. "
The Centurion took a pipe from his bag and lit his tobacco "It is a pity that we did not arrive before to be able to see the show or be able to partic.i.p.ate and prove our worth.
But I think that in this city life will not be quiet, where those things appear there can only be more.
At least we can thank the emperor and the G.o.d Quetzalcoatl for allowing us to have a solid wall and a direct road to the province of Insulae Canibalium.
I am sure that the Beta legion will enjoy being in this place since it has a pleasant climate and they will not get bored.
Not to mention that this place is better than the cold trenches of the defense line, which are fortunately obsolete after the construction of the Interoceanic ca.n.a.l. "
Anjali turned to see the Centurion, "You know what the emperor plans to do after this."
The Centurion shook his head. "I have no idea, but some soldiers who were on the line of defense say that we may have a break for a few months.
Personally, I believe that the emperor will want to digest everything that we conquer since we do not have enough population or resources to start a conquest to the north.
This place has a lot of potentials, but it lacks already built cities which make conquest difficult.
But if the emperor can guarantee cities with walls as high and resistant as it is, it will be a matter of years that we can end the conquest of the north.
You know it only took a little over two years to build everything you can see, neither the great Caesar or the mythical Alexander the Great would have done better than Emperor Flavio. "
At that time, a messenger climbed the wall, "Centurion, the emperor is about to inaugurate the great wonder of the Pontem Forum."
The Centurion emptied the contents of his pipe and stepped on it so he could turn it off. "You should join us at Anjali. You might be surprised by what you will see."
In the last part of the bridge were gathered thousands of pilgrims and some soldiers who were taking care of the priests and priestesses who were waiting for the emperor.
Flavio left Crimson Palace accompanied by his daughters and wives, including Freyja.
He was also accompanied by Poseidon and Anuket, who was talking to Loki, who could wake up after hearing all the noise in the city.
Amaterasu and Quetzalcoatl had prepared a small stage so that Flavio could give a short speech.
For his part, Zeus had prepared somehow many gifts which would fall from the sky like lightning, which would turn a few humans into champions who could be guardians of the two Naturae temples.
When Flavio arrived on stage, he used his control of the elements so that his voice could be heard all over the place. "Citizens of the Empire, I"m glad they came on their own to be able to witness the miracle of building the last wonder of the empire.
With this wonder, we will protect later generations and allow the G.o.ds to be guardians of cities so that the event of the capital is never repeated.
The enemies of the empire could only harm us because we were not prepared, but from our mistakes, we learned.
Now any supernatural enemy of the empire that tries to attack any city will meet a protective G.o.d who will defend the city until our legions arrive and end that threat.
Today you can see the miracle that I am sure will be spoken for generations until the end of time. "
Flavio allowed Amaterasu and Miyuki to use their divine energy and thereby activate the seals of wonder.
In every city where the Pontem Forum could see, any citizen of the empire could see how a beautiful blue light came out of it.
Shortly after that blue light became one with Red color and then shed a golden glow which rose to the sky, at the same time the quartz palace and the interoceanic ca.n.a.l also released a golden light which reached the sky.
These lights began to create a significant barrier that crossed the entire continent from the vast desert of the south to the frozen land of the north.
The energy could be felt in Europe and in Asia, where the G.o.ds looked towards the ocean with curiosity to know what that energy was.
The citizens of the empire could feel a sense of warmth and protection that ran through their entire body in some way they knew they were protected.
At that moment from heaven, some thunder fell where the pilgrims were, and they could feel the call of the great G.o.d Zeus who was calling them to serve him personally.
This event would be remembered by historians as the beginning of the time of the G.o.ds.
