Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 113 111, Zitouronet

The Pharaoh was furious when he ordered the rear of the Horus Regiment to return, while the Isis Regiment was surrounded by the rear to destroy the enemies ambushed in the desert. At this point, Hattie's army took the initiative from the north, King Lucille was not in the army, and the commander was actually Grey. And there is not only the Enrique Legion, but also the Anu Legion led by Grey!

The ambush of the Sete Corps in the desert was the masterpiece of a surprise team specially trained by the Anu Corps. Pharaoh made a mistake in both the command of the Front and the intelligence judgment. He thought that he was using the power of two and a half corps to storm one of the other corps, but when it came to real fighting, he found that the other was two elite corps, and that only the Horus corps next to him was able to fight first, and the Isis corps was still collecting the scattered Sete corps and sorting out the remnants.

The Horus Legion is very powerful, but they march long distances across the desert for raids, while the other two legions are waiting for each other. The battle lasted three days and three nights at the border between the desert and the grasslands, and the Horus Regiment did not break through each other's lines of defense, while the Greco-commanded counter-attack finally broke down the Horus Regiment's battlefield.

In the first war, the Pharaoh collapsed.

The Horus Regiment had to retreat and regroup, but Gore would not give Pharaoh a chance to command the two regiments to surround themselves from left to right in an attempt to destroy the Horus Regiment altogether. At this time, the war has been reversed, and the Horus army will be exhausted and it will be difficult to fight any more vicious battles. Fortunately, the backup Isis army arrived in time to engage in an encounter with the Khati army, which was forming a coalition.

It was a mixed war that lasted only one day and one night, but the scene was extremely tragic, with more deaths and injuries on both sides than on the previous battle, and the scene seemed to have the same basic flag drum. The Egyptian army had fallen only slightly and had barely stabilized its feet. But the heavy forces that had fallen behind the Isis regiment were crushed by the besieged Hati army.

When the raid failed to enter the position to fight, the Pharaoh army fell into a dilemma, bringing together only one tired division of the multi-regiment, facing Hathai's two striving elite regiments, the situation was dilemma. Continuing to fail to defeat Hati's army, the retreat lost most of its weight and made it difficult to lead large troops safely across the Syrian desert.

The Khati army did not form a tight siege, but merely waited for the water sources outside the desert to be guarded and constant attacks disturbed the Pharaoh army to consume its vitality. They seem to be waiting for Pharaoh to withdraw, and once this tired division turns to withdraw into the desert, with low morale and a lack of grass and water, the Khati army comes from behind, and the Egyptians are bound to collapse for thousands of miles or even to fall.

Neither did the Ecuda army sit idly by, launching a lonely attack without retreating, pushing forward to occupy a place with water sources and obtain fresh water supplies. At that time, Hati's army strategically retreated from a gap, and when Ecu's army had just camped to breathe, it launched a counter-attack from three sides, forcing Ecu's army to retreat to the desert corner.

As a result of these several pull saws, the Aegu army suffered heavy losses and was no longer in a position to launch any more active attacks, only to hold the battalion and await rescue. Rescue may come from two directions, starting with reinforcements from the Ecuadorian organization. After the break-up of half of the Sete regiment, Julian had protected Rhode-Dick from the Cape Town State, while collecting the handicapped army and organizing a corps of generals and emergency troops from the remaining city states, preparing for rescue and reception.

However, far water does not quench the thirst. The situation of the Ecuadorian Expeditionary Army is already critical. The Front Line Command has advised Pharaoh to break out alone under the protection of the great magicians. But then it will be a total collapse, and Pharaoh's glory will be greatly undermined, and the army in the desert will face the result of total defeat, which Rashith II is unwilling to do.

The nearest reinforcement to the main battlefield is the Ann-La Regiment, which has not yet been engaged in combat and is in full formation, and Pharaoh ordered the Ann-La Regiment to come in, even if only to attract troops from the other side to cover the withdrawal or buy time. It was not easy to send this order across the 300 + mile desert. The road on the ground had long been cut off by Hati's army and only a magician could fly out.

Five shuttles were dispatched by Pharaoh, the first four of which were all covers to attract the other party to intercept fire. The main force of the real siege was the shuttle carried by the great magician Cézanne with the great samurai Vega. Indeed, they did not fail the Pharaoh's entrustment and finally rushed out to intercept, taking the order to the An-la legion.

Waking up the great samurai Vega told the story, Amon and George both relieved him of his wounds and said that the Ann La Regiment would do everything in its power to save Pharaoh from danger. Vega fell asleep unconsciously again, and besides being seriously injured, George quietly performed his magic trick to put him back in a coma. And Cézanne's body is obviously not as strong as that of a great samurai, and she's not awake yet.

Out of the tent, Amon and George came to a secluded, deserted business. “It shouldn't be too late," Amon said. "If you want to fly to the Sky Camp, I suggest you do it at night and find out what the enemy's up to. ”

George shook his head: "Look at the starry sky. Instead, the vigilant archmage can detect more clearly and be more vigilant at night. In fact, it's easier to expose the target. Instead of just walking away, the big regiment is now ordering us to prepare for march, and we will wait no later than half a day. When the sun shines in the desert during the day, it interferes with sightseeing and divine detection. Instead, it is more suitable for flying sky detection. If there are clouds at low altitudes, it is better. ”

Amon also asked, "How many flying magic machines were distributed by the Legion? ”

George sighed: “The wind shuttle is the standard flying device on the continent, very fast and relatively mature, which is too expensive to build. The Legion of Ann-La is equipped with five pieces, all of which are property of the Empire and not the personal belongings of the magicians. ”

Amon thought about it and said, “Actually, we have seven shuttles now, and Cézanne the Great Magician brought one, and I shot one down during the day. ”

George laughed bitterly: "Of course Cézanne's shuttle will be returned to him later, but we can temporarily requisition it, and the shuttle you shot down is a spoils of war for the Legion Commander himself, and you can keep it for yourself without violating any rules of the Empire. In fact, more equipment is useless. Even I count, we only have five gods to fly the shuttle, and the number of masters is far from that of Horus or Isis Corps. ”

George counts two more, and Ammon and Medanzo can manipulate the shuttle, but no one else knows. Amon shot two people in the daytime, not by an arrow, but by falling from high altitude. At that time, an enemy magician chased Cézanne with a samurai manipulating the wind shuttle and was shot into the shuttle with an arrow from Amon.

The opponent's samurai were not blocked at all, and the manipulator was a Class Six magician who attempted to defend himself with the space power of a shuttle. But the impact of that arrow was enormous, and it was carrying a wave of energy like a tidal surge, and the strange tremor shock was stronger than the force directly hit by the arrow.

The magician suddenly fell from the sky with the samurai, unable to control the shuttle. Their staff, their weapons and their shuttles are, of course, a trophy for Ammon. The shuttle was slightly damaged, but it was easily repaired in Amon's hands, much easier than collecting material to rebuild it, and it was an unexpected harvest.

Amon didn't say that in detail, he thought to George: "Could you give me another shuttle for a while, it might be useful, just in case? ”

Even after a second awakening of power, it is difficult for a great warrior to master the deepest flying divinity of high-order space and gaseous element divinity, not to mention the simultaneous application, it is almost impossible to manipulate the wind shuttle. But George didn't even ask, so he gave Amon a wind shuttle.

Amon returned to his commander's tent with two shuttles, and Metanzo was on guard outside the tent with his own guard. Amon asked: "My cat, are you back? ”

"Lord Schrödinger has just returned," replied Metanzo. "He went straight into the back of the ledger. ”

Amon actually had a cat with him on the march, and the cat was eaten and drunk every day by the captain himself, and he rested in Amon's camp tent. Schrödinger's shelf was huge enough to see how much Amon loved it. The protégés jokingly called this cat "Lord Schrödinger”, which is also a kind of kissing ass. The joke over time became a habit, even Medanzo called it that.

When the accident broke out during the day, Schrödinger slipped out and disappeared. Amon had urgent matters to deal with, and he was relieved to learn that Schrödinger had returned. He walked into the camp tent and saw Schrödinger squatting in the seat of the commander in the middle of the large tent, only smiling slightly, then pulling out the vessel like a trick, making Schrödinger a pot of sprayed broth because Schrödinger had not eaten since daylight.

Schrödinger sat in the commander-in-chief's position and ate a large amount of food. He stretched out his paws and paddled twice on the table in front of him, shouting a few times at Amon Meow. Amon and this cat have been together for years. Even if Schrödinger can't talk, he can probably guess what he wants by his looks and actions alone. Bring a large plate of fine sand and put it in front of Schrödinger's eyes immediately. “You went out and found something. Is there something you want to tell me? ”

Cat claws are usually shrunk in a meat mat and only stretched out when scratching a rat or something. Schrödinger's paws, however, are interesting, as they shrink the other paws and stretch out only one paw tip, like a man extending a finger and starting to draw on a sand plate.

First, a semi-circular circle was drawn along the edge of the sand tray, five points were dotted in it, then a line was drawn on the other side, the words "Legion of Nanar” were written, and then a line was drawn in the distance, and the words "Ambush” were written. Amon had understood that this was a map of the various fronts on the battlefield, and Schrödinger was clearly reminding him that the Khati army had long thought that the Al-Aqrah regiment would reinforce Pharaoh and set up ambushes in the desert waiting for him to pass.

As long as the Ann La Regiment penetrates the desert and is exhausted with heavy marches, it will encounter ambushes on the most unfavourable terrain between the Enrir Regiment and the Anu Regiment, and the Nanar Regiment will take the opportunity to cut off the supply line from behind and encircle them without having to fight hard and trap them.

Schrödinger's claws had not stopped, and a box had been drawn behind the line of defense of the Legion of Nanar, near the southern part of the Black Fire Marsh, in which he wrote: "King Hattie”.

Amon sitting across the street couldn't help but stand up and whisper, “Schrödinger, what are you talking about? King Hattie is in this position? ”

Schrödinger nodded like a cat, then stretched his paws and pulled them, erasing all traces from the sand tray. This message is too important to allow Amon to recapitulate and consider adjusting the overall operational plan. Pharaoh became king, and he thought King Hattie was stationed on the southern shore of the Inland Lake with the Enrique Legion. In fact, the Enrique Legion was there, but King Lucille himself was in the rear, and the main forces of the Greer Legion with Anu were quietly gathered there.

How did Gore hide Eku's reconnaissance from you? In addition to dispatching different fornication messages and blocking borders to prevent detection, there should be means. For example, soldiers could be ordered to disguise themselves as servants or civilian husbands, mixed up to be transported little by little in the logistics corps that transports materials or builds positions, and then assembled. As long as the Ecuadorian main march route has been determined, the battlefield has been decided, and the Khati army has not ostensibly changed the regiment's layout, even deceiving the Great Mage's flying sky reconnaissance.

Seeing the maps drawn by Schrödinger, and in particular the location of King Hattie, a plan has emerged in Amon's heart. Since the plan was too risky, he would have to carefully consider all the details, and he would have to look into it himself tomorrow.

……

Shortly after sunrise the next morning, the sun on the desert was already strong, and the light white sand was bright with white flowers. Amundo instructed Medanzo to step up his guard with John and quietly leave the camp with the main priest George. Behind a hidden dune in the distance, making sure no one was nearby, George took out a mantra: “Legion Leader, let's go. ”

Amon slightly lowered his voice: “Crystal Shuttle? Lord George has such a good thing! ”

George replied with emotion: "Lord Amon has such a good eye, you can recognize the crystal shuttle at a glance, I'm sure he's also very good at all kinds of artifacts? Many years ago, an old friend taught me how to make it, but I didn't have the skills or the financial resources. Later, I had the privilege of becoming an honorary high priest of Isis Temple, and later became an official high priest, and it was only a short time ago that I had sufficient financial resources and energy to build such an instrument. It is my precious treasure and a memento of past times. ”

George's hands are like a translucent little dish, blending together a dance of wind, and the edges are symmetrically blended with three blue water hearts. The magic stone and the magic apparatus seem to be naturally connected. I don't know what kind of magical way it was built. Such an object is precious simply because of the material, not to mention how many times it has to be destroyed to succeed.

George manipulated the crystal shuttle with Amon quietly up into the sky, and in the nearby view, the space it turned into was like a hazy translucent reflection of light, and the reflections on the sun and sand, from afar, revealed no trace. Crystal shuttles are more invisible when flying into the background of the sky at high altitudes, and can also be revealed when clouds are present, like a cloud of grey or white, like a cloud flowing through the sky.

After flying to high altitude, the crystal shuttles to the appearance of a misty cloud, which saves more power than a translucent shadow blur. George said to Ammon, "The crystal shuttle also has a diving effect, it can avoid detecting the sensations of magic. If you keep a safe distance, even the great magician can't spot it. Had it not been for this thing in my hand, I would not have dared to take Lord Amon on an adventure to visit the camp. ”

Amon nodded, “I've heard of this flying machine, but it's too hard to build, and it's the first time I've seen someone make it. Its hidden effects are good, but the people above cannot easily use force to attack the outside world, otherwise it loses its diving significance. It also has the weakness of being much slower than wind shuttles. ”

George took out a wind shuttle with his cane in his hand: "It's okay, we're just scouting at high altitude, trying not to get caught. In case it is discovered that the two of us can no longer fight the army, put away the crystal shuttle and run away with the wind shuttle. Don't forget to use the arrow to cover our escape. ”

As they spoke, they headed east and the crystal shuttle was no faster than a wind shuttle, but certainly not slower as a flying magic machine. By noon, they had flown past the desert and approached the main battlefield, looking forward to the two army battalions. With Pharaoh's army stationed on the edge of the desert and only a dozen miles from the nearest water source, it was clear that more than one battle had broken out between the battalion and the water source and that scattered fragmented weapons could be seen on the ground, reflecting star points in the sun.

The Hati Grand Army flag is tight, in a three-sided state of siege, and a vigilante cavalry has been placed along both sides of the desert where Pharaoh may retreat to the south. Schrödinger was right. On his way to the Legion of Ann La, there was a heavy line of defense waiting for Amon to throw himself into the net.

At present, the Pharaoh Army is powerless to attack and can only defend itself passively. Hattie Army has been able to pull out the elite to confront the Ann-La Army. It is too far away to see all the details. Perhaps there are other ambushes on both sides of the desert, and Rhode-Dick has suffered such losses.

The other camp had a master like Grey, and although there was a crystal shuttle that could hide the trail, they didn't dare to fly too close. After seeing the approximate arrangement, Amon asked George to take him back. But the return journey did not go straight to the Ann-La Regiment camp, and Amon made a somewhat adventurous decision, circling north behind the Nanar Regiment, which confronted the Ann-La Regiment, to look over the hills south of the Black Fire Swamp.
