Pivot of the Sky

121 Amon was promoted

However, instead of being punished for this, the city lord was rewarded by Pharaoh. The commendation should also be due to the fact that the Seth Legion's main defeat responsibility lies with Pharaoh himself, and Pharaoh claims to have won the war, naturally he should praise the generals under his command. On the other hand, Rhodes-Dick has repeatedly defeated and returned to the city-state as quickly as possible and gathered the remnants of the southern desert. Not only has the loss been reduced to the greatest extent, but also quick backups have been organized, and the cape-city-state guarantees the rear Of solid.

The logistic fleet of the An-Ra legion was able to navigate smoothly, and Rod Dick also contributed a lot.

When the army returned to Ecuador, Rhodes Dick led the reorganized Seth Corps to the border, and brought enough supplies of sympathy to allow the Pharaoh to slay the soldiers. This arrangement made everyone happy. After suffering so many days in the desert, Pharaoh entered the city's prepared palace and rested for a few days. After summarizing the war, he returned to the capital. The legions were dispatched here and returned to their original residences.

Rod Dick greeted all the legions at the border customs until the broken An-Ra leg all returned safely. When seeing Amon, the city owner was full of emotion. He held Amon's hand and said, "The heroic warrior, the great legionnaire, I don't know how to express my admiration for you! I want you to return in public in the cape city. Nero's relics, I never dreamed that you would still make today's contribution. There were many things, and in my own opinion I am sorry for you ... "

Amon interrupted his words: "Master, why do you say that? I thought I was an exotic hunter of unknown origin. You gave me courtesy and asylum, and notarized Lord Nero's will, which gave me that. The precious relics have no trace of owe. You have never been sorry for me. Even because you went to Duke Town in the first place, you have made me today, and I am full of gratitude. "

The two walked into the border of Eju, hand in hand. At this time, Amon was already able to walk alongside Rod Dick, which was unimaginable a few years ago. When Rhodes Dick arrived in Duke, he was so high above him that his status was almost impossible to reach. Amon never looked up to him, but never looked down on him, whether it was past or present.

They were supposed to be the last group to enter the cape city-state, and the city-state had prepared a ritual to celebrate victory, but this ceremony was suddenly postponed. The An-La legion, which had just been withdrawn from the battlefield, received an urgent order and turned into a forward to resist the Uruk legion that suddenly rushed to the border of Eju.

Both Gilgamesh and Enqi launched an attack on the cape city-state at this time!

Gilgamesh's choice of timing was very terrible. The Aegi Army had just returned from a long-distance battle. The main legion suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted. There was no time to rest. What's more important is that apart from the God legion, the Horus legion and the Isis legion, which have been defeated in the desert and long besieged, have lost their vitality, and it is difficult to fight hard in the short term.

After all, the legion is composed of people. There is always a limit on the physical strength and energy of people. After tossing in the desert for several months, they are always in a state of high tension. When they return to the Eju spirit, they relax and naturally disperse during the battle. It is difficult to condense in a short time. stand up. The two legions that had reached the Cape City-state earlier had been repatriated in batches. Only the elite guards and senior generals had been dispatched, and the remaining soldiers were already on their way back to the station. The sudden death of the Uruk Legion was somewhat unexpected.

Fortunately, Pharaoh's army has been withdrawn because Amon's abduction of the king led to peace talks between the two countries. Otherwise, the timing of the Uruk legion's attack was also when the Pharaoh army was under siege in the northern desert, and Gilgamesh could just take advantage of the vanity to pick up a bargain, regardless of only the half of the Seth legion collected by Roddick. I can't resist it.

The peace talks between the two countries were an accident, and Gilgamesh did not expect that when he sent his troops, he sent a messenger to write a letter to Hatye's battlefield commander Ge Lie. The letter strongly condemned the aggressive behavior of Pharaoh Rasis II of Ecuador, and stated that the Kingdom of Barron and the city of Uruk were willing to help Hati to defeat the brutal enemy together. Road, occupy their logistic base, cooperate with the Hati Kingdom to destroy the Pharaoh army in the desert.

If the situation really develops like this, the Ecuadorian Expeditionary Forces, including the An-La Corps, will all be dead. . Even if other legions in Eju's homeland came to the rescue, there was too little time to do so. It was nothing more than a frontier battle with the Uluk Legion after the frontline defeat.

It's a pity that things are changing too fast. The messenger sent by Gilgamesh has just set off. Egu and Hati have completed the peace talks and withdrawn. By the time the Uruk Legion entered the southern part of the Syrian desert, Pharaoh had led the main force back to the cape city-state. Gilgamesh missed his plan to make a surprise attack, but he did not change his marching plan and still led the army straight to the border.

Griem received a letter from Gilgamesh during his withdrawal, and he could only sigh with a grin. At that time, Ge Lie had surrendered the positions of head of the army and commander in chief of the battlefield, and no longer mastered the army. Gilgamesh's letter arrived late, and Greg just forwarded it to the king. Hati and Eju have signed a peace treaty to form an alliance, and the Pharaoh army has withdrawn from Ecuador. Of course, Lucille will not cooperate with the military action of the Kingdom of Barron.

And on the other hand, the Kingdom of Barron may not be kind! While the Uruk Legion crossed the Youdi River westward, another ferry, En Qi, in the middle of the Youdi River slaughtered the land of Humbaba. Another city-state legion in the Barron Kingdom had assembled, from The Marduk Regiment, the elite army from the capital of Barron, was also ready to go around the ferry. There is the closest position of the Kingdom of Barron to the Duke Plain. As long as you cross the Youdi River and march along the edge of the mountain, three hundred miles away is the east bank of the inland lake.

The intention of the two legions to assemble there was already obvious, that is, to intervene when both Hardy and Eju were injured, and also to intervene in the Duke Plains battle. What was said was also very nice, to help the kingdom of Hatti against powerful enemies. It is natural that the army can't do anything for the help of the army. Afterwards, he asked the Kingdom of Hati to express "thank you", so the goal is naturally the plain of Duke.

Lucier ordered the Prime Minister to write a reply, and politely rejected Gilgamesh's "goodwill", stating that Hardy and Eju have signed a peace agreement and formed an alliance to jointly defend against foreign enemies, not the Kingdom of Barron As well as Gilgamesh.

At the same time, Lucier sent a shuttle to the cape city to send an urgent report, informing the Pharaoh of the military developments in the Kingdom of Barron. Of course, Hardy would not send troops across the desert to stop the Uruk Legion. This powerful legion led by Gilgamesh and En Qi was scary on the mainland. But Lucille also spoke very well. In his letter, he mentioned the news that the two armies of the Barron Kingdom had assembled in the city of Kish, saying that he would guard heavily in the north of the desert and echo the Egu in the south of the desert. In fact, It means each has its own way.

The Uruk Army marches too fast, and there are no caravans in the desert due to the outbreak of the war. The news along the way is very tight. The day before Pharaoh received the emergency report from Lucille, he learned about Gilgamesh's developments, and of course he was astonished. Fortunately, the generals were all around, and after several nights of discussion, they issued several urgent orders--

The Isis Corps and the Horus Corps were regrouping in batches, and the wounded and sick returned to the station to rest as planned, and the remaining combatants were reorganized. The Gabe Regiment, which had rushed to the cape city-state for reinforcements, was also about to return, and hastened to the front line at this moment.

These arrangements take more or less time, and it is imperative to block the first wave of attacks by the Uruk Legion at the front. On the advice of the ministers around him, the Pharaoh ordered the An-La army to stop at the border to meet the enemy, and appointed Amon as commander in chief of the battlefield. Rod Dick, who remained at the border, became chief quartermaster on the battlefield.

Amon was promoted and jumped from the legion chief to commander-in-chief of the battlefield, commanding not only the An-La legion he had led, but also the remnants of the Seth Legion assembled in the hands of Rod Dick. After the two dissatisfied Isis and Horus regiments were reorganized and moved to the front, they would also be under the unified command of Amon.

If it is not for non-combat logistics personnel, the An-La Legion has not yet replenished its troops after the war, and there are currently more than 4,000 people available to fight; the Seth Legion can only fight more than 2,000 people; the ISIS and Horus The legion was reorganized and more than 5,000 people could be put into battle. Amon would command more than 13,000 soldiers and hundreds of clergymen.

In the cape city-state at the back, in cooperation with the operational logistical personnel, the heavy-duty, fortified civilians were transported, totaling more than 100,000 people. This is almost equivalent to Ge Lie's position in the last war, Amon was caught off guard and was pushed to such a cusp.

Was Amon so much valued by Pharaohs and the Ecuadorians? The actual situation is not the case. This is an errand that can only be done without success, or even a fatal position. It is the same for anyone. Although Amon was promoted, he would also be a bad guy because he had to lose the battle on the front line.

The Uruk city-state is the most powerful city-state in the Kingdom of Barron besides the capital of the king, and the Uruk Army is recognized as the most powerful army on the mainland. Gilgamesh has been recruiting and buying horses to secretly train and expand the army. This time there was the main cover of the northern kingdom. He had no worries, so he attacked with all his strength. A total of 8,000 trained elite soldiers took Nearly a hundred priests.

Even if Amon commanded the exhausted division to fight the entire army, it was not good, not to mention that the Horus Army and the Isis Army had not been reorganized and went to the front. It was even more impossible with the current An-Ra legion and the remaining parts of the Set army. Can't stop it.

Legend has it that En Qi, the first warrior on the mainland, has improper bravery and can take the first rank of coach in the army. Whether the legend is true or not, En Qi killed Humba Baba but it is no doubt that Amon should think about his own life.

Before that there was a very intriguing episode. After Pharaoh reached the palace in the cape city-state, Amon was still leading the An-Ra legion on his way back. Pharaoh summoned the group ministers to discuss and issued an order for Amon to discharge the post of head of the army with him and return to the capital of Eju There will be more important appointments and generous rewards.

This decision cannot be said to be unreasonable either. The An-La Legion is a newly formed army. Amon created this elite division in one hand. He won a brilliant victory in the great battle. He himself also established it. Unbelievable feats, the prestige in the army is as high as the sky. If Amon is still in the position of the legion, if there is any disobedience, other people, including Pharaoh, may not be able to command the legion.

After all, Amon is a foreigner. It is impossible to avoid suspicion because of his roots. As for the reason why everyone doubts him, there is no need to say more. Therefore, both Pharaoh and his ministers believed that Amon should be given a higher position and a large amount of wealth, but he was not suitable to take charge of this army.

The messenger sent by Pharaoh had just set off for the border, and then came the news that the Uruk Legion was aggressively attacking. The situation changed dramatically. At the emergency meeting held in the palace, the ministers who had suggested that Pharaoh be removed from the post of head of Amon's army changed their attitude. Everyone unanimously suggested that Pharaoh immediately withdrew the order and promoted Amon to commander in chief of the battlefield, so Amon was promoted.

This suggestion can't be wrong either. Through the war just experienced, it proves that Amon is indeed very good at fighting, and now he is gaining popularity.

Pharaoh urgently sent a great magician to control the shuttle to catch up with the messenger who had already reached halfway, withdrew the original order and replaced the latest appointment.

Since the An-Ra legion was performing post-off missions, Amon as the legion leader walked to the end of the army, while the An-Ra legion's leading troops had reached the main city of the cape and the border. Amon did not receive the first order from Pharaoh, but John encountered the messenger on the way.

John was so furious when he heard the news that he pulled out his sword and almost wanted to cut people. No one knows better than John what Amun has done to build the An-Ra legion. He was released from military power just after victory.

The messenger did not dare to provoke the general, but he could only laugh at it and explain that Pharaoh's intention was to promote Amon to a higher and more important position. John furiously said, "Fart! Amon is a warrior, and is there a more suitable position than the commander of the emperor? Even if he is appointed to another position, he can also serve as the commander of the army! Such a young general , You ca n’t be the Minister of Emperor Affairs, do you still want him to be a high priest? ”

John initiated his temper to say nothing, and there was a murderous army around him, and the messenger was too scared to say more. He could only explain that he was only sending a letter. This was the decision of the Pharaoh and his ministers. Just then, Julian rushed to the shuttle with the latest orders, and Amon not only remained the commander-in-chief of the An-Ra legion, but also became the commander-in-chief of the battlefield.

John's tone came only when he came through. According to this order, he immediately led the leader back and went to the border to meet Amon.

...

Amon received his latest appointment on the way back to the army, and the messenger was Julian, who was hostile to him. Julian is also the priest of Seth's Legion and will stay on the front line to obey Amon's command. I do n’t know what the great magician ’s mood is at this moment. Will he wait to see Amon ’s defeat from a private angle? However, if the front line is defeated, Julian, the priest of the Seth Legion, will not have a good result.

When I saw this great magician who had sent people thousands of miles to chase and kill himself, Amon didn't say much nonsense. He didn't mention a half sentence. First, he was relieved by the official business, then he summoned the generals around him solemnly. We discuss battle plans.

The troops that can be assembled at the border today are the large part of the An-La legion and the remnants of the Seth Legion. In addition to the important generals of the two legions, there is also an advisor, Rod Dick's aide, Yali Stodd. Amon heard that Aristotle was in the army and specially invited him to the meeting. However, Aristotle did not excuse the military and did not speak at the meeting.

The adults took out maps and sand tables and studied for a long time. They all agreed that they could not stop the attack of the Uruk Legion at all.

George Theorist sighed: "According to today's combat situation, even if the Horus Legion and the Isis Legion have been reorganized and rushed to the border, it will be difficult for us to face the Uruk Legion."

John asked angrily: "Isn't that two legions known as the most elite fighters of the empire?"

George said, "It depends on who the opponent is and what is the current situation? If it was the Horus and Isis regiments that had just set off from the border with Ecuador a few months ago, of course, they would not be afraid of the Uzbekistan. The Luke Corps is decisive, but now ... "

Julian frowned: "If you want to be evenly matched, you must wait until the reinforcements of the Gabe Corps have arrived at the front line to join the army. But the far water cannot save the near fire, and the Uruk Army marches too fast. I just have some doubts. What is the purpose of the war? They will not be able to defeat the Aegean Empire in the end.

Amon pointed at the sand and said, "The purpose of the Uruk Legion's operations can be guessed. They crossed the desert from east to west. They did not expect to defeat the entire Egyre Empire. They only need to occupy the land with waterweed and fields in the east of the cape city-state. Establish strategic fortresses to control the entire territory of the Syrian Desert. Don't forget that apart from the Aju Empire, the nearby countries belong to Barron's strongest.

With a finger, Amon drew a line along the narrowest part of the land on the sand table, and cut out two-fifths of the land of the cape city-state, implying that this place was the target of the Uruk Legion.
