Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 120: 118, please play chess again
"Pharaoh and the Ecuadorian Legion are here as a piece of chess to attract reinforcements, and our battle plan is to destroy them step by step," added Djuguri. Until backup is eliminated, Pharaoh's army will finally be unable to support it, and it will be too late for Rashith II to try to escape. We can concentrate on all the masters to stop him, even if we can't capture him alive, we can kill him on the escape route, and this man can't be put back. ”
“This is the right path for soldiers and the best result," said Singer, touching the back of the chair. "The first to be eliminated should be the Ann La Corps, a weakly combatant army of miscellaneous cards. But somehow I was always a little worried that their leader, Amon, was the first to lead the army, but this man's experience was tortuous and full of magic, and he might do something about it. I have warned the Nanar Regiment to be more forthcoming, but I am still a little uncomfortable. ”
Prince Asher laughed: “Don't worry, Lord Gore. Amon is just a young warrior. How can he command a miscellaneous army to change the whole battle? A Legion of Nanars could stare him to death. We have intercepted several of the messengers sent by the Pharaoh, and we have the exact news that the Legion of Ann La will have to leave the coastline to die alone in the desert. Weren't we ready? ”
In the meantime, Celia sent a secret report that a Class Six magician was flying the shuttle overnight. When people heard that the king had been held hostage by Amon, they jumped in surprise. What a clear thunder! If we talk about war and let Amon kill the king, the Khati army will continue to act in accordance with the battle plan that has just been drawn up, and it will also win the battle in its entirety, much less replace the new king afterwards. But no one can say that, let alone do it.
On the other hand, the fluctuations in the military mind and morale are incalculable, and the war situation may change unexpectedly. The first consideration must be how to rescue the king. After urgent consultations, several adults decided to keep Prince Yasser in command of the army for the time being, and Gore himself drove the shuttle to the King's camp with the Prime Minister.
Gore did not bring a personal guardian, the great magician clearly saw the situation, there were only two assassins, relying on the king held in his hand, it was useless to go to more people, not to mention that Gore himself was already one of the top experts in the Hati kingdom. Catching the king is necessarily a demand for peace talks, and the presence of the chief minister of the Kingdom of Hati in the mathematical order to decide many things on the spot.
……
Medanzo and Amon held the king “at rest” in a large account and remained silent all night. The next morning the sun shines brightly, the wild air is very fresh, and birds can be heard crisp and delightful in the jungle. Years ago, it was still a desolate Gobi. He had heard birding. After the floods, too many changes had happened.
Celia scanned the movement in the big book with detective magic, and the king and the two assassins were always there, but then her detective magic encountered another disturbance, and the other party seemed to be doing the same, but did not exclude her from spying.
“Two warriors, we have brought breakfast to His Majesty the King. You also need to eat, please open the door to the big bill.” On the occasion of the breakfast, Celia finally decided to go into the grand ledger to see what was going on, at least to make sure His Majesty was safe.
“Breakfast is not necessary, nor can we be lazy to come here to serve His Majesty the King. If you want to see the king, come in.” Amon's voice came from the tent, and the windless curtains of the heavily fronted doors curled upwards.
What a powerful line of food delivery, Celia holding a cane and flying a tray in front of her, Aruka and Afi, two big samurai with their arms hanging, each carrying a tray behind her and walking into the forehead. And then everyone's eyes were wide open, as if they saw something more incredible than a king being kidnapped.
There were three people in the forehead, Amon stood at the table cooking soup in a dish that he didn't know where to take it from. No wonder he smelled a tempting scent as soon as the curtain was opened, and he had several baked crispy pancakes in his hand. The king sat on the seat opposite Ammon with an empty plate and a glass of wine in front of him, a light rosy wine with a very fragrant aroma, obviously a rare wine.
Medanzo stood at the king's side, holding a sharp short blade as if he was manipulating his nails, the tip of the knife wrapped around the side of the king's neck to detect the magic sweep. There was also a roar in the short blade, with the shocking power of impacting the mind God. A magic object is placed in the center of the table, like a golden base carved with a strange pattern, like a lamp, and the stone in the core position seems to be emitting an invisible light.
This is precisely the light of the chase. At this moment, it is placed in the eye of a magic array, and then the square of the tent. In turn, there are several earthly eyes and wind dancing, forming a very delicate magic array, able to detect all kinds of movements inside and outside the large tent at any time. If the power of operation is to be excited, its detection range can completely cover the entire camp and the sky above.
What you see in the front ledger is just the corner of this law array. In fact, Amon used the space of the front and rear three digits of this big ledger to form a magic array, using twelve earthly eyes and the wind dance, respectively. Not to mention how amazing the effect of this law array is, just the preciousness of the objects used makes it sound!
Celia also wanted to find a broken blossom to save the king, and what she was afraid of was the destruction storm in Amon's hands. But now that we have seen this magic formation and the short blade in Medanzo's hand, the great magician has realized that even if it had not been for the destruction storm, she would not have been able to save the king from the assassin's safety.
This magic array is in a constant state of excitement, and as long as there is any movement around it, the Lamp of Pursuit can react immediately. There is also a slight surprise that the magic required to maintain the operation of this theological array is not very strong, but the constant surveillance of the movements around the area day and night is a continuous and lasting drain, which the average magician may not be able to bear. And now it's obvious that Medanzo is running the magic array, and it doesn't matter that both of them seem to be capable of magic and long lasting magic.
But this magic array is nothing compared to the other thing in the tent.
Amon and Medanzo did not lose their manners, and the king sat with them standing, one cooking breakfast and the other standing beside him as a guard. But instead of sitting in the middle, the king gave the minister a seat at his usual meal on the left side of the table. On the throne of His Majesty, sitting on a cat!
Of course, the cat is not tall. Ammon is very thoughtful. Find something to mat the chair legs so that the seat is level with the desktop, and the cat squatches right on top of it to get what's in front of it. It has a bowl of broth in front of it, a few sprayed incense barbecues, and a whole bottle of wine next to the hand cat's paw. The cat is holding the bottle to the mouth and drinking the right incense!
Amon asked the king for breakfast, and the first food he made actually let a cat eat first! And the cat sat in the middle, and the plate in front of the king was left empty, and looking at Amon's faint color, it seemed reasonable, and the cat suffered.
Celia's face changed, and the plates floating in the air fell on the table, pointing her finger at Ammon with a staff: “How dare you be so rude! Where did this cat come from? How dare you let it sit in His Majesty's seat! ”
Schrödinger's paws loosened the bottle and looked up at Celia. She looked like a human being, calmly smiling with a cold smile, then glanced at King Hattie next to her, lowered her head and licked the broth, without even screaming.
Amon took a bow and explained politely: “This is my cat, Schrödinger, who snuck in late last night, hopefully without disturbing your rest. It's used to this. Don't you see me standing by myself? I have no disrespect for His Majesty the King and am making breakfast myself. ”
When Amon first came into contact with Schrödinger, he just thought the cat shelf was big, but the more interesting it became. In fact, the cat hasn't changed a bit, it's just the people around the cat, so it's even more incredible. When Amon was just a stray miner, the cat, who could only write divine script, was very stubborn. There was nothing wrong with that.
But by the time Amon became a great samurai and great magician, ranked among the strongest on the continent, Schrödinger was still so stubborn. When Amon became Commander of the Ecumenical Empire, Schrödinger was still so shrewd, even in the battalion where he commanded thousands of armies. Now King Hattie is sitting beside him, and Schrödinger is still high.
Seeing Celia pointing her staff at Amon, Medanzo did not speak, but had stuck a knife tip to the back of King Lucille's ear. Celia stepped back and blushed and drank: "Amon, this is an insult, I can't accept it! Don't think you can do whatever you want by holding the king hostage. No matter how this is finally resolved, I'm going to make a private request and I will fight you! ”
Normal duels are the result of the boring mess that the aristocratic samurai were fed up with, and I didn't expect this archmage to make this request to Amon after being provoked. As Amon cooked the soup, he asked: "How do you want to duel? ”
Celia: "It's a private duel between the two of us, and I can't forget the shame you brought me today, holding the king in front of me, and letting His Majesty sit with a cat! When this war is over, I will take with me the spirit beast I summon, and you will take this cat and give it a real try! My name is Celia, I am a royal Hattie nobleman and a great magician. ”
Amon looked up: “My name is Amon, and I am the son of a miner in the town of Bangduk in the city of Syria, and I am currently the leader of the Eju Empire. I accept your duel request, but that will wait until the end of the war, if we are all alive. Dear Celia Archmage, I know that you are not satisfied, I have taken the king by plot, you want to wash your shame in a positive way, I have no reason to refuse. To be honest, I admire you, not many women can become magicians, and the great magicians, you're just the second I've ever met. ”
Last night the scene was too dark and chaotic. Celia was still wearing a cloak. Amon didn't see the great magician until now. She looked so beautiful. After removing the cape, her face and hands' skin were milky and white, as if it were snow in the sun, and she couldn't feel the sun getting dark. A magnificent magician with a cute, playful doll face, slightly rounded chin, large eyelashes, long hair and a full haircut.
When she was angry, her eyes got bigger, her white face rose to pink, her breasts were still ups and downs, and she looked like she couldn't get any worse. If someone is deceived by her appearance, I'm afraid it's bad luck. She's a real magician, and Medanzo taught her how to do it yesterday.
Celia laid down her staff and answered in silence: "Well, Legion Commander Amon, I hope you will remember today's agreement, if we are all alive by the end of the war. ”
When the broth was cooked, Amon filled a large bowl with his own hands, walked around the table to the other side of the king and handed it to him with a compliment: "Your Majesty, please have breakfast! For your own safety, we use only the food and water we bring with us, as do you.” Then he turned around and said to Celia and the others: “You didn't eat either, just as you brought the food, let's eat together. ”
Amon doesn't eat what they send or let the king eat, which makes Celia and the two great warriors a little embarrassed. Amon himself was rude, standing there waiting for the king to eat before cooking for himself, and Medanzo had been escorting him.
King Lucille has calmed down at this moment, and now that he has reached Amon's hand and does not want to lose his dignity for any reason, he waves: “My great sorcerer and two great warriors, sit down and eat. ”
The king spoke for a step down, Celia thanked the two warriors and took a seat at the table. It was so hard to describe the taste of this meal that no one could tell what they had eaten. After breakfast, the king coughed and asked: "Amon, I admire your courage. If you were a warrior in the Kingdom of Hati, I would certainly reward you for your actions. You went all the way down to the enemy, and then you saw me. What's the point, now you can say? ”
Amon asked back: "As I said, it's for peace. I would like to ask Your Majesty, what purpose do you want to achieve in this war and why does the Kingdom of Hati fight for? ”
Celia intervened and replied: "It was the Ecuadorian Empire that started this war, and we only stood up for self-defence. The purpose of this war is, of course, to defeat powerful enemies, to deter them from ever entering Ha 'aretz, to free the Kingdom of Ha 'aretz from its subordinates' destiny and to wash away the humiliation of centuries. ”
Lucille nodded and said: "We have been guided by the Oracle and we have won! Amon, there's no point in you holding me hostage, even if you kill me and bury yourself, you can't change the end of the war. ”
Amon frowned slightly and suddenly asked, "Is it Enrique's message? Did the Oracle also say that all the temples of Horus in Hati were to be demolished? ”
Lucille replied, "Well, building temples for Horus, the king god of Ecu, in the cities and states of Hati, was a symbol of submission, of course, to be demolished! ”
Amon lowered his head and began counting his fingers, saying on the other side: "First, the Egyptian Empire is to pledge not to trespass against Hati; secondly, the Kingdom of Hati is no longer to Egunagon in order to depart from its subordinate status; and thirdly, it is to demolish all the temples of Horus in Hati and not to accept the imposed faith. This third point is actually an extension of the second point, if you achieve these objectives, can you sit down and negotiate? ”
Lucille glanced at Medanzo with a sharp edge and coughed softly in a dignified tone: “If all three ends are achieved, it means the victory of Hattori, without the soldiers having to bleed again, what can we not talk about? But you hijacked me, and you let me make a condition that you, as a commander of your regiment, can meet Hattie's demands? ”
Amon replied, "I am not here to assassinate, let alone die, for the sake of everyone on both sides. If the Egyptian Empire agrees to these conditions and both sides swear in front of their gods, then this matter is not irresolvable, and I will certainly not harm His Majesty the King. ”
Celia sneered, “Can you make Pharaoh agree to these terms if you talk here? ”
Amon laughed, "I know the situation on the battlefield. Is there any other option for Pharaoh? And the two countries are on the front line at the moment, ready to talk. Celia the Great Magician, you must have sent someone to inform the front line, then we agreed here, with the result, I will send a letter to Pharaoh. ”
Celia asked, “What if the Ecuadorians refuse? ”
AMON: “If that were the case, I would release His Majesty and ask His Majesty to pardon my offense today and allow me to return to the Legion of Ann-La to continue fighting on the battlefield. But if Ecu agrees to these conditions, please put an end to the war and sign a peace treaty between the two countries. … His Majesty the King needs a man to think carefully, please go out after you have eaten. ”
These breakfast talks are just a test, and no matter what the decision, it cannot be made by the king with his knife around his neck and several guards beside him, even if the king barely gives the order in this case, the army on the front line may not be able to carry it out.
There are three meals a day, and even if Amon doesn't eat, the king can't starve. At lunch, Orebane, the commander of the Legion of Nanar, arrived with the main priest Vivien, and Amon still opened a large bill inviting everyone to come in and dine with the king so that he could see that he was still safe.
The noon scene was finally no longer so embarrassing, as Schrödinger ate only one meal a day and did not attend the "luncheon", so the king sat in his place. Amon cooked the meal himself and asked the king to use it first. Even the water he drank was removed from the space apparatus. Olebane is also a great samurai, and Vivian is certainly a great magician. This table is not Amon, and he actually sat with three great samurai and two great magicians.
Olebane saw a few flames in Amon's eyes, pressed the handle with his hand and asked, "Are you Amon? How can such a despicable manoeuvre be like a noble warrior? We should face brave battles on the battlefield, not in such a way as to conceal your fears and weaknesses. ”
Medanzo grinned, "Fear and weakness? Are you saying we're not brave enough and powerful enough? Then, Lord Commander, try to hold Ecupharaoh hostage! ”
That phrase kept Olebane choking for half a day. Ammon waved: “Legion leader of the Nanar Legion, I didn't expect to meet here, should I say it's a pleasure to meet you? I think our legions have already fought, and now in front of His Majesty the King, sit down and eat well, don't lose your manners! ”
The lunch was very silent, and the old saying was repeated. Amon persuaded Hathi to negotiate peace and let Ecu withdraw after agreeing to those three conditions, and both sides ended the war. Nor could Orebane and Vivien be in charge, nor did the king give a positive opinion that he could make any decision in such circumstances.
When Vivian arrived, he also saved his intention to rescue the king, but studied the situation in the big accounts, especially seeing Amundu's magic array communicate with Celia privately for a long time. He was also not sure to safely take His Majesty out of Amundo's hands and had to wait.
What a star looking forward to the moon, at dinner, finally came Gregory and Chocolate, battlefield commander and kingdom prime minister! This dinner is the main meal and orgasm of the day.
Grey immediately asked to meet the king, symbolically after obtaining the king's permission, and ordered Orebane and Vivien to return to the camp, not to lose sight of the battle ahead. Gore has seen the situation clearly. It is impossible to rescue the king directly from Amon. Even if there is no destruction storm, Amon will surely be able to kill the king before he is defeated.
If you just want to beat Amon, Gore can do it all by himself, but now throwing a mouse whiskey doesn't help any more masters.
The king sat in his seat at dinner, and Medanzoti stood beside the king's seat like a faithful guardian. The light of passing on the table shined a soft light on the whole ledge, Amon sat on the left, and Choculi and Grey sat opposite him, looking like kings and a bunch of ministers were in the middle of the night.
Hearing the front and back, the singer twisted his beard and asked with a smile, "Amon, I admire your work, but why do you think we have to accept your offer? Son, have you ever thought of another possibility where you can't escape, just drain away, and when the Egyptian army is completely destroyed, the Kingdom of Hati will achieve all its aims? Think of your destiny. You can't hold the king forever, and you can't keep yourself trapped here forever. ”
Amon replied with a smile, “I've thought about this possibility, and I'm just trying my best. Dear Archmage, may I ask you to play another game of chess? Chess boards and pieces are ready. ”
The tableware on the table had been withdrawn, Amon had taken out a military sand tray in the middle of which was an ocean overlooking the Ecuadorian Sea, bypassing a bay and crossing the desert to reach each other by land, and the northern edge of the desert was the main battlefield for both sides. The chess pieces on this game are the distribution of forces between the two countries. Amon asked Gore to deduce a battle and continue to fight the unfinished battle on the sand plate.
