Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 112: 110, The Pharaoh Has Become

The other three regiments are triangulated upside down. The theoretical weakness is the two wings. The Pharaoh cannot expect the An-La regiment to break down the Nanar regiment in the Nanjiang of the Hati kingdom of Jiuzhen, even if Amon has accomplished his task as long as strategic restraint can be formed. Then King Lucille's Enrique Legion became the most appropriate target.

Pharaoh decided to raid the Enrir Legion for three main reasons. First, the main purpose of the expedition was to establish strategic positions where water and grasslands were available along the shores of the inland lakes. If the Kingdom of Hattie were to step forward, it would be passive in the future, and the nail would have to be pulled out while the Enrique regiment was still on its feet. Secondly, the king of the other side is there. The so-called bandits will capture the king first. If Enrique's army can be broken up, it will damage the morale of the entire Hati kingdom, so that the next battle may not have to be fought again.

The third point is also important because of the water. According to the location of the three Legions of the Kingdom of Hati, the water sources were stopped just behind the front. There is no water in the desert and the freshwater required must be transported hundreds of miles from the southern end to the front line. If the front line cannot be broken in a short period of time, freshwater transport alone will become a heavy logistical burden for the Egyptian army.

Attacks in the direction of inland lakes, spearheading the creation of camps for large armies where water resources are seized, and grazing grasslands by the lake in situ will largely reverse the disadvantages of logistical supplies. Now that the Enrique Legion is establishing a permanent position, a surprise raid is the best strategic option.

Racis II analyzed one, two, three articles, and even he admired his wisdom, which his men could not refute. For the sake of security, the Horus Corps also dispatched a group of magicians to detect hostilities with flying magic instruments. Even the main cleric and the ninth great magician, Li Quaid, personally dispatched, after all, to explore the road for Pharaoh.

If there is an investigation, there is an anti-investigation. In the northern desert sky, there have been several unknown wars of magicians, several magicians have fallen with flying magic instruments, and others have returned successfully. Grand Priest Li Quide flew to the enemy camp at high altitude and succeeded in dislodging each other's tracks, uncovering the battlefield arrangements of the Kingdom of Hati, in full harmony with the sinister confessions.

The Horus Legion was 700 miles from each other's Enrir Legion, in the middle of which was the Syrian desert, and Pharaoh ordered full speed. Beyond that lies half of the Legion of Sete, which is responsible for logistics supplies, all of the elite Legion of Isis, who was suddenly attacked by two half-elligent Legions against an Legion in Hati, and who was already awaiting victory.

……

Amon received three spies in a row on his march, the first from Rhode-Dick, demanding that he work with the legit elder army to accelerate progress. The second was an official order from the Pharaoh Front Line Command, which was detailed, asking Amon to order the logistics flotilla to stay away from its followers, to prevent them from being attacked by the other navy and to build camps ashore.

The Ann-La Corps is now less than two hundred miles from each other's Nanar Corps and is already in a position to launch an attack. However, Front Line Command ordered Ammon not to attack voluntarily and to monitor and restrain each other in situ. If the other party launches an attack, it must rely on the camp to hold firm; if it is found that the other side leaves the coastline to enclose the Pharaoh army to the east, it must seize the opportunity to attack the logistics supply line and hold the main forces of the Nanar regiment in place.

Amon was ordered without delay to re-establish the camp ashore, set up a temporary dock on the coast behind the camp and sent a group of elite generals to escort the ship to ensure that the sea route at the rear remained uninterrupted. With the current reserves of grass and fresh water, even without a fleet, the Ann-La Regiment could last more than a month.

Ammon sent a scout to monitor the movements of the Legion of Nanar, but found that the other side had done little. The enemy, like him, built ports and battalions and pulled the front to build defences on the border. It is almost impossible for Amon to win if he wants to aggressively attack, because he faces not only an army, but also a city behind it.

The battle in the desert should have broken out, close to the main battlefield, where there was no room for manoeuvres and mobbing long ago, where interrogations could only be carried out by flying magicians, and where enemy camps could occasionally be manipulated by major magicians, but the dynamics in enemy camps made it difficult to ascertain the exact details. Amon feels left on the battlefield, waiting only for the outcome of the showdown.

Although there was no formal battle, the atmosphere in the barracks was already very heavy, with clerics and fighters on the most intense alert day and night. About a dozen days later, an accident finally occurred. Amon was sitting in the big book playing chess with Medanzo and suddenly frowned, sensing a fluctuation of power approaching from afar, immediately rushing out of the big book.

The great magician George was also struck. He had already flown halfway into the sky with his staff. The clergy laid down the magic array. The soldiers mounted their weapons on a semi-circular defensive outer wall composed of tank lines. The archers mounted the arrows and were ready to pull them apart. The shooters also held the shuttles and set up the battle array.

A black dot appeared in the eastern sky and was approaching quickly. Amon had good eyesight and found it to be a flying machine to manage the wind shuttle. The two people on the shuttle were tired. The man in front waved with his staff in a row. He had already seen the camp of Ammon, exhilarating the final spirit to accelerate forward, while the man in the back had blood on his body, and a bow and arrow pointed behind him to forbid it.

George had received a divine message from the man on the shuttle and drank loudly: "It came from Cézanne, a cleric and great magician of the Horus Legion! There's a chaser in the back. We got him covered.” Then there was a chant, and the magicians on the earth stood together and raised their staff, and a piece of smoke rose in the desert, and the dancing sand rolled into the sky to form a curtain wall that was shaking and buzzing.

The wind shuttle crossed the curtain wall unaffected in no way, and was directly put in. A few black dots appeared on the far side of the sky, which was the pursuit that followed from behind. Theoretically, only the Great Eighth Magician can fly freely without the aid of a device, but if there is a precious flying instrument, the wise Sixth Magician can also fly in the sky, in short, the strength of the pursuit must be not weak.

The shuttle fell out of control in the barracks and plowed a deep ditch in the sand. The great magician who manages the shuttle, Cézanne, once he harvests his powers, the shuttle turns into a clap-sized apparatus. He and the warrior behind him were thrown out and could not faint on the ground. A soldier had already rushed up to carry them into a large account for treatment.

Cézanne has entered the safe zone, guarding the barracks' flying sand curtain walls as the wind rolls out, and the sand shocks, like countless arrows, diffuse towards the air, appear to erupt a yellow cloud of smoke, blocking the pursuit of soldiers from afar. The magicians were ready to fight, and the warriors raised bows and arrows to wait for the enemy to reach their range.

At this point, only one bow string sounded, a silver-light diagonal flying sky, hitting a chased wind shuttle. The sound of an explosion in the air, a twisted shadow of light swelled open, this magic apparatus went out of control and turned into a palm-sized original. Two men fell from the sky and fell heavily on the sand dunes outside the barracks.

Legion Commander Amon has already stood on top of a chariot with the bow made of the long teeth of a two-headed serpent and the serpentine's muscle. Instead of poisonous arrows made of scorpion tail needles, he fired heavy arrows forged in maroon steel, plated with silver on the surface and carved with a magic array pattern. This type of arrow is specifically designed for warriors who have been re-awakened by power and require a special strong bow to function. Normal warriors cannot fire at all.

Amon cooperates with the divine arts to shoot an astonishing arrow of this power, which is far more impactful and far-reaching than the arrows fired by ordinary warriors. His divinity is actually smarter than body surgery. The power contained in this arrow has reached the ultimate level that his sculpting magic array can carry, and the bow in Amon's hand is much more magical than the strongest bow in the army.

The soldiers in the air saw Cézanne flee into the battalion, nor could they have fought a whole legion. In the face of the strikes of the magic array, they had fled to evade at high altitude, ready to see the enemy battalion and immediately returned. Amon shot down a wind shuttle operated by a level 6 magician who was already flying very high, far from the range of long-range weapons in the barracks. He thought he was safe. One of the turns in the air was about to fly back, and Amon's arrows had arrived.

No one would have expected such a precise and powerful arrow to be fired in such a brief encounter, even George, the protagonist in the air, shouting a thunderous cheer from the warriors. The air chasers had turned away, seemingly frightened by Amon's arrow, and had not dared to stay at high altitude for a moment. The hostility was unknown, and George didn't dare send a magician to chase.

The company soldiers marched thousands of miles with their servants and logistics teams, and only one arrow has been fired in the official battle. But this arrow is enough to lay Amon's place in the Legion, and anyone who sees him shoot this arrow will be disrespected!

But Amon himself was very dissatisfied with the arrow, thinking that he had seen the astonishing arrow fired by the mysterious assassin at the Great Blessing Festival, and now he is shooting the heaviest magic arrow with his best bow, and still far less powerful than that arrow of the day, even though he is now a great samurai and great magician.

However, Amon was satisfied with his regiment. Although it was only a small scene when five or six enemies flew in, it was the first time that the regiment had faced a positive battle. No one panicked, not even the archers had fired an arrow. The clergy and the warrior's regiment had been laid out in the shortest possible time. Even if a large army had attacked, it would have been able to resist.

It appears that this army of miscellaneous cards, after practicing and pinching itself, has developed an unmistakable fighting power, which, although not yet comparable to the elite regiment of the Empire, is definitely not unstoppable.

The pursuers retreated and the two men who had fled to the battalion were unconscious. George had already identified another man, his Majesty the Pharaoh's SS leader, Vega, a Class 7 warrior. The Horus Legion is much better staffed than the Ann-La Legion, with seven great warriors like Vega being only a captain in the Pharaoh's pro-Government, and seven great magicians like Cézanne being only a cleric captain under Lee Quaid.

The two men apparently broke out long distances from the main battlefield. What happened when the Pharaoh had to send them to send an emergency order to the Al-Anlah legion? Medanzo searched the unconscious Cézanne for a volume of paperwork, which turned out to be Pharaoh's emergency warrant, and Amon and George were surprised when they read it.

The Ecuadorian army has suffered an unfavourable battle on the northern edge of the desert and, more precisely, a massive defeat. The Rhode-Dick Legion of Seth was broken up, while the Rhode-Dick Legion of Isis was divided into two parts, one rendezvous with Horus of Pharaoh and the other collapsed.

At present, Pharaoh has been besieged by the Hati army on the edge of the desert and the situation is precarious. He urgently ordered the An-La regiment to leave the coastline for reinforcements eastward to cover the Pharaoh army's siege, and specifically stressed in the order that adequate supplies should be brought.

After reading the order, Amon and George met for a long time without saying a word. They didn't speak first, but asked John sitting next to them what he thought. "What kind of war is this?" cried John with a straight temper. The march plan says it will just change, let us stay on the beach for more than three months, when the main defeat needs to be pulled to replace the dead, do you remember us? ”

George whispered, “General John, this is not the time to vent personal complaints. Whatever grievances you have in your heart, you must focus on the overall battle situation. According to you, how can we fulfill the Pharaoh's orders? ”

This is a very skillful question, how can an order be fulfilled, usually just executed directly. But when Pharaoh ordered them to march east, they left the shoreline and separated from the rear supply fleet. In theory, troops could be stationed at the beach, unloaded from temporary ports, and logistically transported in convoys, but this could easily be cut off by each other's Southern Nar regiment, which became a desert-depth soldier.

If you get stuck in the desert, don't say grass. Once the freshwater runs out, it's over. The Nanar Regiment doesn't have to fight to die, just drain them in the desert. Moreover, the overall combat power of the Ann-La Legion was less than that of the Nanar Legion, and Pharaoh's orders amounted to letting the Legion die, nothing more than trying to attract the strength of the Kingdom of Hati in order to cover the main siege.

Medanzo, who stood beside Ammon, frowned: “Pharaoh also ordered us to bring all the supplies on the ground. Since Rhode-Dick's logistics corps was dispersed in the desert, I'm sure the grass and arrows in Pharaoh's army were almost consumed. If we do, the march will be slow and easy to surround in the desert. Saving the Pharaoh's siege should be a lightweight raid, but that would only bring six days of drinking water at most, which would not meet Pharaoh's requirements. ”

George touched the bracelet on his wrist and added with a bitter smile: "With my space apparatus, I can carry as much supplies as I can, up to another day of grass and water for the Legion's combat forces. ”

"You reminded me that there must be more than one great magician in the Pharaoh's army, and two of those three regiments are just nine great magicians. In addition to Cézanne, who sent a letter today, there are six other great magicians. They should have more brilliant space magicians. How many munitions can they carry? ”

George shook his head: “A part of the Sete and Isis Legions was broken up, and even if all the great magicians were to rendezvous safely with Pharaoh, their space apparatus was filled with munitions, which I'm afraid would last only ten and a half days. Moreover, the space manipulators of the great magicians are often of additional use and cannot all be used to bring grass and drinking water, and logistical munitions are mainly transported by convoys. ”

John touched the back of his head and said: "Are the two adults' opinions still not carrying out Pharaoh's orders? ”

George glared at him and said, "How can a military order not be executed? But this warrant was not received by us, but was retrieved from the comatose Cézanne Grand Artist, and it needs to be confirmed that the person must be awakened. ”

Amon remained silent for half a day and finally raised his head: “The Pharaoh's order is to hope that the Al-Aqrah Regiment can help the main forces out of danger, and we will execute it as long as we manage to accomplish this task. There are two things of the utmost urgency. Ask Lord George to hurry up and rescue the messenger himself with healing magic. In addition, no matter what the Legion does, it is necessary to detect the distribution of hostilities, which also requires the help of Lord George's clergy to take me over the battlefield to see the enemy's layout. ”

John and Medanzozzi said, "Are you two going to fly to the battlefield to watch the hostilities? It's too risky! ”

Amon smiled. "Adventure? Who else in our regiment can carry out this task and return with certainty? At least Lord George and I can escape in the event of an accident. If the army is caught in the crossfire, we will not escape. ”

After the emergency treatment of the clergy, the two messengers had left their lives in danger. At midnight, the great warrior Vega first woke up and struggled to tell what was happening in the desert.

Pharaoh led the Horus Legion forward without encountering any obstruction, crossing the 700 mile desert smoothly, about to launch a sudden attack on the Enrir Legion, followed by an ambush on the heavily logistical Sete Legion.

The ambushers apparently received special and targeted training, and the soldiers hid under the sand in capes and did not encounter the Horus regiment, but unexpectedly emerged from the desert on both sides at night, beating Rhode-Dick by surprise.

These men did not engage in a duel, mainly lighting grass trucks with fire-borne bows and arrows, but also a special blade arrow with strong penetration, prepared only for sheepskin bags with fresh water in the squad. In response to the ambush, Rhode-Dick led the army, with heavy casualties on both sides, and the Sete Corps lost most of its ordnance.
