Pivot of the Sky

Amon did so because he had just taken control of the regiment and needed to stabilize his morale, on the one hand, and, on the other, he was not short of money.

The chief officers of the regiment, in addition to the commander of the regiment, also have the chief priests, who report to fifty magicians, who are treated very well. Amon himself was clean, but did not ask the master cleric George to follow him in his ordeal. Materials and salaries belonging to the clergy were transferred to George for his own disposal.

As a result, George also paid off his materiel and equipment in full, leaving only 10 per cent of his salary, in full compliance with Ammon's practice. As high priest of the Temple of Isis, George sometimes has the opportunity and doesn't have to write about what oil levels he wants to salvage.

Equipment and salaries were sufficient, but Amon was not relaxed in his training, and he intended to rule from a strict army, but he came across a former commander more demanding than he was. John was famous for his temper when he came to Mount Ho. How can he tolerate the laziness of soldiers when he comes to the Legion to take them to war with him, with enough equipment and money?

Anyone who doesn't do his best in the act will cross the lower ranks and drag people out for a beating. Instead, Amon acted as a moderate actor, often persuading John not to be overly harsh, but to dispose of him normally under military discipline, without additional punishment.

Amon also advised John not to rush too much and not to burden the soldiers without authorization. For example, if archers demand 15 arrows in a row, they don't have to be forced to shoot 20 arrows in the normal drill, and end up losing alignment and strength. After all, they are still on the march and need to be sharp.

John walked past Amon's point in Mount Ho, and the unstoppable agitation had gradually become manageable, but the power of agitation had not disappeared. By the time we meet again, this Lv6 samurai has become stronger than it was. He still has moments of anger and impulse, but has found a way to translate this impulse into an outbreak of power that can suddenly enter a more powerful, flexible, perceptive and acute state.

This seems to be a strange, explosive awakening of power, which is an interesting discovery for Amon.

Amon had tested John's outburst of power, and when he entered the state, even Medanzo dared not resist positively. Ammon can only suppress it if he doesn't do his magic with martial arts. John becomes stronger than usual in this state, but when this state is over, he also becomes weaker than usual and takes a break to recover.

According to Amon's analysis, John's excessive use of this burst force could cause unpredictable physical and psychological harm and alert him to it.

In addition to being demanding and commanding, two conditions are required to achieve optimal results. The first is to keep up with diet and nutrition, which Amon ordered the Quartermaster to absolutely guarantee that the Theo fleet provided sufficient dairy products. And the other condition is that the clergy cooperate.

The magicians do not directly rush into the first line of physical beating in the army formation, and their role is manifested in two main ways. The first is to use all sorts of magic to help the warriors fight, and the other thing that's more important is to raise the morale of the army formation. Divinity can be both aggressive and auxiliary, such as healing divinity, which, while not immediately healing the wounds suffered by soldiers, can temporarily make them forget their wounds, and prayer divinity can make soldiers braver and less fearful, and some brilliant spiritual divinity can even give warriors a conviction of victory, inspiring them to commit to battle by forgetting their lives.

This is very important in large regiment operations, where often a battle fails not because of the number of soldiers killed or injured, but because of low morale leading to the collapse of the front. Because once soldiers lose confidence and have no courage to continue fighting, despair can infect each other and commanders can't control it.

These magicians are usually accustomed to respecting each other, and marching is already painful for them, and they generally do not use this power until there is a real battle. Ammon, however, asked the clerics accompanying him to play a third role outside of the battlefield, namely, to join forces in the practice of healing and prayer magic, to allow the generals to recover from fatigue, and to maintain a state of self-confident and exhilarating combat at all times.

Amon cannot direct the clergy, which requires an order from Lord George. And the main cleric George cooperated very well, issuing orders at Amon's request to divide his subordinate magicians into four teams of twelve, forming a theological array to help Amon practice his troops on a daily rotational basis.

Now those magicians, their powers are invaluable, how can they be so casually consumed? Very high-ranking adults use this tactic occasionally when training first-hand soldiers, but have hardly heard of it throughout the regiment. In a few days, the magicians called for bitterness and went to Lord George to complain —— not really fighting, how could they let noble clerics drain their magic for civilian warriors at will?

George didn't say anything at first, but then he saw too many complaining clerics and made a dazzling decision. The great magician himself came to the training field with his staff and led four different teams of magicians for four consecutive days. Even Lord George himself did so, and the other clerics were afraid to complain publicly.

It was only then that George publicly said: "Our regiment lacked training in the past and is likely to be destabilized if confronted with a real war. Once the samurai on the front lines broke down in the Great War, you as clerics had nothing to do with it, and the training generals were protecting yourselves. This war hasn't been fought yet, so you start complaining. What do you want to do if you really go to war? ”

Lord George spoke beautifully so that his priests could not refute it, but Ammon's practice was indeed unconventional. I have not heard of any commander who would let the magicians accompanying him consume unnecessary magic in the ordinary course of the march, and it is true every day. Amon, the student who Nietzsche taught, had never had the concepts taught in the temple to use magic. He would have started his theology at any time even from the rain and the sun. He had long been accustomed to it. He didn't think it was a big deal to let the priests do this.

It is not clear to the clergy that their boss, Lord George, was also a magician in his early years, and that he was a friend of the old madman Nietzsche, who knew more or less the details of Amon. This time, it was a collaboration with Amon that broke it.

But Amon wouldn't have bothered anyone for nothing, and he gave George another precious staff. Although George, the high priest of the Temple of Isis, does not lack a good staff, staying in his hands or giving students and subordinates is also a great thing. Amon got three canes in that mysterious cave, one of Nero's relics has been returned, the other to Link, and the rest finally to George today.

Apart from that, Amon gave the priests a huge number of sacred stones each, a stunning pen.

If there is reward, there is punishment. The clerics can play sloppy even though they dare not complain any more. As a result, Amon really doesn't give face to these people, and regardless of their noble identities, he once asked John to drag out the two clerics who couldn't work, beating them to death in public. Since then, everything has been on track.

The magicians, of course, are of noble origin, and these clerics may come from a privileged extended family, or relatives of an imperial minister. But now we have to bow our heads temporarily in the regiment, and even if anyone has a complaint against the commander of the regiment, we can only wait until after the fighting is over.

Ammon marched like this and practiced his troops, moving steadily along the coastline. Two months later, when the regiment entered the Cape Town State Dependency near the border, he finally ordered the manoeuvres to stop when stationed, and the general needed only a good rest. According to the operational plan, Ammon cannot enter or fall behind alone and will need to follow along the northern coastline at the speed of the main regiment.

There are interceptions between the An-La Regiment and the main army, and if it comes to a critical juncture, there are also magicians who send messages directly by means of aircraft.

Legion Ann-La finally left the border and turned north, in front of the desolate Syrian desert. The curved coastline divides the blue sea from the light yellow sand, with waves and dunes stretching out over it. The sky is blue as a wash, with clusters of white clouds, as if the gods in heaven were grazing their flocks.

The landscape is so beautiful and the wilderness so desolate, in this tranquil desert, a great battle is imminent. After leaving the border, Ammon marched more cautiously, sending magicians to take turns to detect the movements around them at all times, and transporting the supply fleet far behind, no longer too close.

At this point, the scout returns an unexpected condition. The Horus Regiment, led by Pharaoh himself, did not make steady progress as originally planned, but suddenly accelerated into the centre of the Syrian desert. The Sete Corps, which had been stationed at the border, had also had to change its plans to cover the civilian population and the re-entry of grass into the desert to follow Pharaoh.

As originally planned, the Isis Regiment should have entered in concert with the Horus Regiment, which was dozens of miles behind, but Pharaoh was not waiting at the border. The Horus Legion suddenly accelerated and threw the Isis Legion away. The Isis Legion, fearful of defeat, left its large weight in Cape Town State and its lightweight accelerated march into the Syrian desert.

This is inconsistent with the original Ecumenical Ministry plan, pull one hair and move the whole body, the whole strategic posture has changed, from steady progress to raid operations.

While the situation on the battlefield is changing and requires various ad hoc decisions by commanders, the battle has not yet sounded and so much has changed, and the ordinary Legion Leader has neither the courage nor the authority to do so. After all, the march according to plan has been successful, even if the war is unfavourable, it is the overall command responsibility, but if the main force comes in without authorization, all cooperating teams should make corresponding adjustments. Only the Legion Commander of the Horus Legion dared to do so, for he was the supreme Pharaoh.

The surprise attack by the Horus Regiment and the lack of an order to cooperate with the Ann La Regiment left Ammon with little confusion as to whether he should proceed as planned or whether he should follow Pharaoh's accelerated march? It took him a few days to receive a reconnaissance letter from Rhode-Dick, commander of the Sete Regiment, requesting that the Ann-La Regiment also speed up its march to cover the flanks of the main battlefield.

Without mentioning Ammon's doubts, it is also painful at this moment to lead the Sete Corps in charge of the heavy Rhode-Dick, who had advised His Majesty the Pharaoh not to change his plans, but Racis II did not listen at all.

In Rhode-Dick's view, Eggu's national power is significantly stronger than Hattie's, and his regiment's fighting power and equipment have gained a great advantage, and a steady forward battle is the safest option. Not to mention, this time, His Majesty the Pharaoh's royal patronage, which is even more intolerable than a little adventure. The only obstacle to the conquest of Hati is the enormous cost of logistical supplies across the Syrian desert.

But the unexpected disrupted the original battle plan and changed Pharaoh's decision.

This time King Lucille of the Kingdom of Hattie also led his most elite Enrique regiment of kings in return for spying before the war. Lucille did not intend to go to war personally, but the royal nobility, the Manchukuo chiefs, and the elders of the seminary all wrote to ask the king to lead the army personally, even as a symbol, as Ecupharaoh did.

The great military momentum of the Egyptian Empire, for which the Kingdom of Hati has been concealed for many years, is at a time when maximum strength needs to be exploded in silence. The other Rashids II were on the front line, and if King Lucille were to shrink to the capital, he would give the impression of cowardice and lack of confidence. The King's leadership of the kingdom's most elite corps protégé is the best way to inspire morale.

The meaning of this battle for the Kingdom of Hati and the Egyptian Empire is not the same. If the Ecumenical Empire loses, it is nothing more than the loss of a subordinate kingdom. But if the Kingdom of Hati loses, it will be a turning point for the whole country, at least losing a large part of its territory, paying a heavy contribution of compensation, completely subjugating itself to the rule of the Ecuadorian Empire and failing to regain its vitality for a long period of time.

King Lucille was reluctant, but he was a royal kinsman. The seemingly peaceful state of Syria over the years also suddenly and magically assembled a well-trained and well-equipped elite corps, the Anu Corps, formerly stationed on the western border. Gore, as a great magician, actually served as the leader of the regiment. The main cleric of the regiment was his disciple Wallet, the former commander of the battle was Moon the Great Samurai, and the chief logistics officer was Governor Xiao Mo.

Another Nanar regiment, formerly stationed in the southern seas, also advanced along the coastline towards the Syrian desert. The battle in the Kingdom of Hati is well prepared and fast marching, and three regiments have assembled in the northern part of the desert, south of the Black Fire Jungle and west of the Inland Lake.

These are the final messages sent back by the agents sent to the Kingdom of Hattie, travelling hundreds of miles through the desert, and it is already difficult not to be noticed by the enemy. The latest timely development of the opponent is not known for the time being through the channels already in place.

Horus Corps scouts penetrated the desert and caught several groups of people in different places, some merchants passing by, some fishermen by the sea and others claiming to be looters. Their presence in such places at such times is naturally highly suspicious, and they are treated as enemy rape, and under torture, they all confess to having been the molesters of the Kingdom of Hati.

The same information was mentioned in all the treacherous testimonies, and King Lucille led the Enrique Corps of Kinship, which had advanced to the desert-bound grasslands on the southern shore of the Inland Lake, where permanent camps were being established. The Anu regiment, led by Gore, is stationed in the southern part of the Syrian city, 200 miles from King Enrir's regiment while mobilizing war materiel and building defenses. Another Legion of Nanar is stationed near the coastline and 200 miles from the Legion of Anu.

The three regiments were triangulated upside down, echoing each other, waiting for the Egyptian army to enter the ambush circle.

According to the original operational plan of the Egyptian Ministry of Military Affairs, the main line of attack of the Pharaoh Army was a direct attack on the narrow southern part of Syria City State, which would be blocked by a confrontational attack by the Anu regiment led by Grey. The other two regiments in Hati may suddenly strike from the left or right perimeter, and even intercepting the Egyptian army's supply line can stall the Egyptian army's main force. In this way, the Egyptian army will wage a costly war of attrition on the other side of the desert, far from the land.

If only one person said that there could be fraud, but caught in different places, the interrogation statements revealed similar information after analysis, which seems highly probable. His Majesty the Pharaoh had just begun to be very angry and even suspected that traitors in the upper ranks of the Ecu army had provided Hathi with a top-secret combat plan, which had led to a targeted arrangement.

Former commander of the Horus Regiment, General Blades, the main cleric, and Emperor Li Quaid all persuaded Pharaoh to breathe his anger. According to normal strategic posture, only a little analysis by those who understand the military can determine the main offensive route of the Egyptian army. There is nothing surprising about the battle plan developed by the Ecumenical Council, which is that it is neutral and stable.

It is perfectly normal for the Kingdom of Khati to have such a response, long prepared for war, to rely on the border line for defensive operations and to take advantage of logistical supplies and troop replenishment.

The Egyptian army simply needs to strike the southern jungle of the Syrian city state as planned, with a positive duel between the main force and the Anu Legion led by Grey, while allowing a section of the Isis Legion and the majority of the Sete Legion to sever ties between the Anu Legion and the Enrir Legion and to block the Enrir Legion's backup.

As for the Nanar Legion stationed on the coastline, it would allow the An-La Legion led by Amon to move forward to confront each other in a northerly direction and would not require Amon to win, as long as the Nanar Legion was held close to the coastline, it could not succeed in striking the Ecuda Legion with the main force.

If the battle were to take place, it would be a tough fight without any speculation, depending on the combined comparative results of both sides' combat capabilities, equipment and training, battlefield command and logistical supplies. But Pharaoh's rejection of the plan and his decision to launch a surprise raid on the Enrique Corps on the southern shore of the Inland Lake cannot be justified.
