Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 139: Life and Death

Medanzo controlled the shuttle to leave Amon's territory, which was faster than riding a long distance. Amon told him to be careful on the road and try to avoid the densely populated city-state when flying in the sky. After a few more days, the guard who was sent to the Temple of Isis should have returned, but Amon was a little puzzled.

The highest authority of the Temple of Isis is the saint, and it is the high priest George who is responsible for all the classics and paperwork. Only these two people can overrule his request. Is that classic really so important, Maria or George disagree Amon borrowed? It ’s very unlikely that the public is private.

Amon was about to send someone to the Temple of Isis to urge him. Unexpectedly, the messenger of the Temple of Isis arrived at this time. To Amon's surprise, it was the high priest George who personally sent the volume to the door. To his surprise, George also brought a message and a person.

The news is about the kingdoms of Barron and Hati. The two countries fought not long ago, but the Kingdom of Hati suddenly withdrew its troops because of its dominance, because King Lucille was driving.

At the same time as Gilgamesh's invasion of the Ego Empire, the elite Marduk Regiment of the Barron Kingdom and the Kish Regiment of another city-state Corps had assembled at the ferry in the middle of the Youdi River. When the Uruk Army advanced into Eju and occupied a large area of ​​the cape city-state, the Marduk Regiment and the Kish Regiment also crossed the Youdi River to approach the Duke Plain.

The Army of the Barron Kingdom is stationed at the northeast corner of the Syrian Desert and the southeast corner of the inland lake, and is waiting for news from the Uruk Legion. If Gilgamesh's strategic intent is realized, then the Barron Army will have no worries. The entire Syrian desert is under the control of the Kingdom of Barron. When crossing the inland lake northward, it can occupy the entire Duke Plain.

Hati had just reached a peace agreement with the Egyptian Empire. He did not want to fight anymore, but he was forced to regroup his army and advance to the southwest corner of the inland lake to wait.

The Hati army had not yet fully withdrawn, and it was convenient to regroup at this time. King Lucille did not return to the front line, and returned directly to the capital. Before leaving, he wanted to reappoint Ge Lie as commander in chief of the battlefield. No one was more suitable than him. However, Glie rejected the appointment and recommended the prince to Asher to the king.

Prince Asher was Lucille's favorite youngest son. This time, he was procured by the king. During the abduction of Lucille by Amon, Ge Lie was not in the front camp. He once commanded the command of the battlefield and was quite satisfactory. The prince went through the last war, and followed in the spirit of Gu Lie openly asking for advice. He also got along very well with the generals on the front line. He was the commander in chief of the battlefield. Both his identity, experience, and connections were very suitable. Rare exercise opportunity.

Lucille had a little bit of jealousy about the influence of Gu Lilie in the middle of the country. This proposal was in the middle of it, so he pushed the boat down to appoint the chief commander of the battlefield. Prince Asher himself had a few points in his heart, and he begged Ge Lie to be the master priest of the army. This was a new position that had not existed before. Actually, he assisted the prince to direct the battle on the front line. Ge Lie nodded in agreement.

The prince Asher was named commander-in-chief, but he obeyed Ge Lie and advised him to keep his guard. The prince of Asher kept watching and was not in a hurry to engage in fighting. The two armies of the two countries faced a strange silence.

There is an alliance between Eju and Hati, and Gelie sends people to the cape city-state to obtain the latest battle reports every day. The soldiers do not need to fight, but there is a group of wizards in the army who can be exhausted. The Barron Army over there is also waiting for the news of the Uruk Corps. Once the southern front is stable, they can march into the situation.

Even if a great magician, if you maintain enough physical strength so as not to consume too much, it usually takes more than two days to drive the shuttle from the Hati camp to the cape city. At the same speed, it took more than three days to cross the desert from Camp Barron to the rear of the Uruk Regiment. In other words, a shuttle takes seven days for Army Barron, and five days for Army Hatti.

In fact, the Barron Army did not use the shuttle to send such dense and uninterrupted messages to Ge Lie. The magician who mastered high-level space magic and air elemental magic could control the shuttle, at least it must have a deep mana. Six-level magician, how many magicians have to be sent to make uninterrupted communication every day. No one knows when the current confrontation will last, which is also a huge human consumption.

En Qidu, the first warrior on the mainland, fell, Gilgamesh retired, and Glie got the news at the first time, four days ahead of the Barron army. At the time of the news, Gorek suggested that the Assyrian prince march immediately and launch an assault when the Barron army had not responded.

The battle plan was also formulated by Gore. Prince Asher commanded the three armies of Enril, Anu, and Nannar. The route of Gore's advance was not from the barracks of Barron, but from Syria in the south. The desert went straight in, and the Nannar Army attacked north.

Of course, this legion could not defeat the Barron army. During the march, the Enril legion turned back and besieged, and the retreating Nannar legion blocked the Barron army's counterattack. As for the most elite Anu Corps formed by Ge Lie, he ignored the rear encounter and was in a disadvantaged position. He broke through the various defense lines and entered the territory of Barron, occupying the ferry on the west bank of the Youdi River.

This tactic of splitting troops and interfering with the enemy and chasing the enemy behind caused a chaos between the two legions of the Barron Kingdom. The area along the Youdi River crossing was lost, and their rear path was cut off. At the beginning, the Barron Army achieved several victories, and it seemed that the Nannar Army and the Enril Army would be driven back into the desert. At this time, the Anu Army occupied the ferry and captured the enemy hoarding on the banks of the Youdi River. Logistics is heavy.

At the suggestion of Gore, the prince Asher divided the Anu legion into two parts, a small part of which guarded the west bank of the Youdi River, blocked the reinforcements in the direction of Balun to cross the river, and a large number of them returned to their divisions to attack the Palestinian road that had been broken. Roland Army. The Army of Barron was defeated immediately, and it was almost not pushed to the inland lake. After repeated hard battles, it barely stood firm by the lake. They had no retreat.

The sudden changes in the frontline also caused the Kingdom of Barron to shake, and urgently mobilized the Egyptian and Arab legions to come for reinforcements. If the national strength Barron is stronger than Hati, it has a wider territory, a larger population, fertile land, rich products, and a very rich life, but its national strength is not exactly equal to its military combat effectiveness. Under the command of Prince Asher and Ge Lie, the battle around the inland lake, Hati had an absolute advantage.

Balun wanted to reinforce the front line with two biggest problems. The Afghan and Afghan regiments could not reach the front line in time. Even if they could, they would have to cross the river to seize the position on the west bank of the Youdi River. The ferry across the shore has been lost, and the cost of crossing the river is huge and it takes a long time.

In this case, while the Barron Kingdom ordered its reinforcements to speed up its march, it sent messengers to the shuttle camp to negotiate for peace. The so-called summation is to admit defeat. They are willing to pay a ransom, ask the Hati army to make a siege, and then return the two regiments to the east bank of the Youdi River. The two countries will kill their soldiers so that the losses on both sides can be minimized.

This is an embarrassing job, but the messenger must have a sufficiently important status, and ordinary ministers are not qualified to talk. The princes and nobles shoved around, and in the end the errand fell on the head of Prince Feng New, who had always been idle and low-key. On the surface, Prince Feng Niu was not interested in the fight for the throne. Fortunately, the private travels made various talents, which made other nephews of King Hammurabi II dare. This time they made a collective recommendation so that Feng Niu could take the lead.

Originally, the king wanted to send Princess Xiao Qian as a messenger. As a result, the princess played a slippery head, claiming that she was unwell and pretending not to show up. Several nephews of the king jointly recommended Feng New. National affairs are the most important thing. Although he knows that this is not a good thing, Prince Feng Niu still leads.

Feng Niu only brought two followers to the Hati camp to negotiate with the shuttle operated by the great magician Jake. Prince Asher asks what to say about Ge Lie? Ge Lie suggested: The trick to deal with Prince Feng New is to "trail", neither to rush to talk about the result nor to refuse the request for negotiation; to treat the Barron army is "sleepy", neither to launch siege and annihilate, nor to let the other party breathe At the same time, mobilize heavy troops to strengthen the defense of the west bank of the Youdi River.

The longer you drag, the worse you get trapped, and the more solid the defense of the Youdi River, the better the situation for Hati, and the higher the price you can ask in negotiations.

Prince Asher did just that. The negotiations were not slow, and the asking price was getting higher and higher. Prince Feng New had to bear the burden of humiliation, and promised to do it bit by bit. The young prince Asher formally commanded the army for the first time and achieved such a brilliant victory. His mentality could not help but swell, and he finally made a request.

He asked the Kingdom of Barron to recognize that a large area of ​​land on the west bank of the Youdi River, which had been led by Hati's army, was formally ceded to Hati, which was the same as Gilgamesh's request to the Egyre Empire. How dare Prince Feng Nuo agree that even the Hati Kingdom could ask for more money and supplies, but such a request exceeded the low line. Even if the Kingdom of Barron can agree, Prince Feng Newman himself will bear the name of history.

The always humble Prince Feng Nuo was finally angry, and decided not to talk, and said to Prince Asher: "If Your Highness is stubborn, then start a decisive battle, even if you can wipe out the two legions of Barron and occupy the Youdi River The land on the West Bank will not lose its own losses. The kingdom of Barron will launch a counterattack with the power of the country.

Having said this, Prince Feng Niu was ready to leave, and even the conditions that had been promised were abolished, and the negotiations officially broke down. Ge Lie commanded the army on the front line, and the prince stayed in the camp to negotiate in the camp. When he heard the news, he immediately rushed back to remind his prince that his request was indeed excessive. A long hostile war of attrition.

Prince Asher also regretted it at this time, and hurriedly retained Prince Feng New, and withdrew his previous demand for renegotiation. At this time, the Egyptian-Afghanistan Regiment in Barron had reached the east bank of the Youdi River and had not forcibly crossed the river. They were waiting for the prince's negotiation result. Just at this moment, King Hati came with a shocking news that the prince Asher had to end the negotiations and retire!

King Lucille died and died of violent illness. According to the official statement, Lucille was frightened when he was abducted by Amon, and his mental state was not very good. On the way back to Wangdu, he became cold again. Although he was carefully treated by the clergy, he never improved.

After returning to the capital of the king, the king was slightly relieved and relaxed. He feasted the ministers in the palace, but excessive drinking caused an acute illness, and he died in the middle of the night. The cause of the king's death is suspect, but all court records are flawless and no one dares to say more. The kingdom cannot be ruled without a day, and the king's prequel is located in the eldest son Ennis. At the same time that Prince Asher led his army to fight, his elder brother had succeeded in the throne under the support of the king's capital.

After King Anis's throne, he will mourn his father and send an urgent report to the front line. On the one hand, he will inform the king of his death and the news of the new king's succession. Ming Gelie succeeded the commander in chief of the battlefield.

Asher and Ennis were contenders for the throne, and each had their own influence in the country. People have long understood that the new king after Lucille must be one of the two. This time, let Asher lead the army, with the help of Ge Lie, Lucille's meaning has clearly wanted to pass on to Asher. Building a career is just a pavement, and it can also establish the prestige of Asher in the army.

But no one expected that Lucille would die so suddenly. The eldest son, Enis, took advantage of the situation, and on the surface he was righteous. It is a fait accompli that the new king succeeded. As King, he ordered Prince Asher to step down from the post of chief of the battlefield and immediately return to the capital to participate in Lucille's funeral. If Asher really returned his military power, would he go back like this?

After receiving the news, Asher was so frightened that he found Ge Lie talking all night long. The content of the talks was unknown to outsiders, but Prince Asher came from Ge Lie's account and immediately ordered the king to come. The courier was put under house arrest, and the news was strictly prohibited from leaking, so as not to shake the army during the war.

Prince Asher claimed that he could not believe that his father was dead, and sent an emissary to return to the capital to "verify". He suspected that the messenger was a spy of the kingdom of Balun, and deliberately acted as an emissary of the king to disturb Hati's army.

This excuse was very reluctant. Lucille's death was true. Asher was only delaying time. He wanted to end the war with the kingdom of Barron before his messenger sent back from the king. He wanted to complete the negotiations urgently. Prince Feng Niu seemed to have heard some wind. The situation on the negotiating table reversed, but Prince Asher was so anxious that he couldn't wait to send Barron a sum of money, and quickly sent Barron's army away.

Prince Feng Niu had taken up this chore under the stigma of bereavement and humiliation, but he did not expect to choose a big deal. He also knew that when he saw it well, he took it without any excessive conditions. He still paid a symbolic ransom and reached an agreement on the mutual withdrawal of the two countries.

Prince Asher certainly hoped that the sooner the better, so Prince Feng New did a very beautiful thing. He only took two followers through the siege of the Hardy army, entered the Barron army camp, and brought out two heavy and exhausted legionaries, all the way back to the safety zone on the east bank of the Youdi River. Then Hati's army retreated, and Prince Feng New led the reinforcement of the Egyptian and Arab Army to cross the Youdi River again, regaining the lost land on the West Bank, which had been led by the war, from the beginning to the end.

This caused a great sensation in the Kingdom of Balun. According to word of mouth, Prince Feng Niu also became a legendary hero. He went into the enemy camp alone and did not humiliate his mission. One can be a million teacher! After the fall of En Qidu and the retreat of Gilgamesh, in the minds of the people of the Kingdom of Barron, a new hero was indeed needed to restore the deep sense of loss. The appearance of Prince Feng Niu coincided with his meeting, and he became prestigious in the country. No one can compare.

His identity is a prince, one of the legal heirs to the throne, which is unmatched by Hati's Gore or Aju.

Not to mention how Prince Feng New became the hero of the entire Baron kingdom, Prince Asher of Hati did not surrender his military power. Instead, he returned to the king to participate in the funeral as ordered by the king, but he did not return by himself, but led An elite car ride in Hardy's army. The Enril Corps had been stationed in the capital and followed the prince to return to the place. The generals of His Majesty Prince Feng Niu also brought the elites in the name of participating in the king's funeral, galloping all the way to the capital of Hattusha .

When George received the news from Monfith, Prince Asher had just set off. It seems that civil strife in the Hati Kingdom was inevitable. I heard that Ge Lie also returned to the capital with the Prince, and I wondered what role it would play.

Amon was overwhelmed with emotion when he heard the news. He had once captured King Lucer of Hati, and held it with him for more than half a month. Although this king is not strong, his bones are not so weak, and he is accompanied by the accompanying master wizard at any time. It should not die so quickly. It seems likely that there is no inside story.

He was also sorry for Ge Lie, who led the main forces of the Hati army, and the two national battles he commanded were extremely good. Both should have won, but the results were undefeated twice. All are King Lucil. This king is dead. His death is the last and worst disaster to the country. It is really not a good thing from life to death.

With emotion, he asked George with a bitter smile: "General John, now that your injury is healed, why don't you go to the An-Ra legion and take the high priest to me?"

The "guest" George brought was John, the former commander of the An-Ra legion. Not long ago, Amon recommended him to be the chief of the legion. Pharaoh did not veto, but only said that John would be appointed after he was injured. It's time for John to take office, how could he have time to visit Amon's territory?

John heard the interrogation, and patted the table heavily: "Oh, General, don't mention it! I was fired as soon as I took office, and I was demoted!"

Amon was surprised: "What's going on? Is it your temper again? What's wrong this time?"

George shook his head aside: "This matter was complicated because of the consequences. You can't blame General John's temper, let me explain slowly."

Pharaoh did not refute Amon and the military's face. When John returned to the Monfith Military Service after he was wounded, Pharaoh ordered him to be appointed as the commander of the An-Ra legion and rushed to the cape city. John was a straight man and went immediately.

On the way to John's headland city, Pharaoh far away from the capital and the Egyptian army headquarters received several reports of impeachment. That's a long story. When training soldiers on the way of Amon, he cleaned up some clergymen who could not work. At that time, John dragged them out of the army and took a half to death.

One of the priests was seriously injured, and it was not clear whether he was pretending to be himself or John was too furious in his rage. Anyway, this person took the opportunity to relocate from the army. At that time, Amon had no absolute authority. The priests were all under the jurisdiction of George, and George had to nod, because the priest was the distant nephew of Joseph Ege, the prime minister.

This clergyman may be greedy for fear of death and does not want to go to the front line, or he may not be so humiliated. But later, Amon repeatedly made great achievements on the battlefield, and the priests accompanying the An-La legion were rewarded with high honor. Of course, all the credit is not due to that clergyman. He is always ridiculed, so he especially hates Amon and John.

Amon is a man of great merit, but it is not wise to find him now, so this man is following John. There are really a lot of things that want to catch John. Some small things can't move him, but there is a serious allegation. John once publicly rebuked Pharaoh's order for farting.

It was just after returning to the territory of Eju after fighting the Hati army, the news of the Uruk Corps raid had not yet arrived, and Pharaoh had ordered that Amon be dismissed from the post. John happened to meet the messenger on the way. He heard the news and was very angry. He shouted: "Fart! Amon is a warrior, and is there a more suitable position than the Emperor Commander? Even if it is to be appointed He holds other positions, and he can also serve as the legion leader! "

At that time, John pressed the hilt of his sword and was murderous, surrounded by soldiers, and the frightened ones turned pale. It was just at this time that the great magician of Julian arrived with Pharaoh's second order and appointed Amon as commander in chief of the battlefield. John did not continue to lose his temper.

This matter can be as big or as small as it is, if no one is going to hold it, a general will be rude. But if you really need to take evidence and investigate, get solid evidence and make a big fuss, and send a written impeachment report written in divine text to the Eju military headquarters and Pharaoh, the nature of the problem is serious.

Pharaoh claims to be Horus's spokesperson on the earth, symbolizing the will, guardianship, and **** of Eju. His official order is equivalent to the effectiveness of the oracle. Who dares to say that **** is farting? This is a great disrespect, a blasphemy, a humiliation of the empire's dignity, and must be severely punished!

A priest might not be able to set off such a storm, but he found the imperial prime minister Joseph and wept, and the prime minister intervened in secret, so he got the signed testimony of the messenger at that time, and other people present to prove it, Letter impeachment.

The Prime Minister's intervention in this incident has other considerations, and he also wants to use this incident to combat the rising military forces after the war, especially to weaken the influence of the newly rising Amon. Although Amon surrendered his military power, he still remained in the military's Yu Wei. John was his most important line, and these were more or less in compliance with Pharaoh's suggestion.

Although there is such impeachment and the evidence is conclusive, successful officials are not easy to deal with casually. The Egyptian army is planning to send someone to the cape city-state to confront John, and ask him if this is the case, and if so, why? This is equal to giving John a chance to explain. But just then another thing happened, the clergyman who had impeached John was killed, but the murderer did not catch it.
