Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 123: 121, Amon Promoted
But instead of being punished for it, the city owner was praised by Pharaoh. The prize should also be given because the main responsibility for the defeat of the Sete legions lies with Pharaoh himself, who claimed victory in this great battle and naturally praised his commanding generals. Rhode-Dick, on the other hand, has been repeatedly defeated, returning to the city state at the fastest possible pace and harnessing the remnants of the desert, not only minimizing losses, but quickly organizing backup and securing the great rear by sitting in the town of Cape Town State.
The logistics fleet of the Ann La Corps was able to sail smoothly, and Rod Dick was also very grateful.
When the army returned to Ecuadorian territory, Rhode-Dick led a reconfigured army of Sets to the border line, accompanied by sufficient supplies of condolences to satisfy Sergeant Pharaoh, a hand arrangement that was satisfactory to all. Pharaoh took so many days of suffering in the desert, went into the palace prepared by the city state to rest for a few days, summarized the fighting before returning to the capital, where the regiments were also sent back to their original positions.
Rhode-Dick greeted all his regiments at the border crossing until the broken Angela regiment returned safely to the country. When I saw Amon, the city owner was emotionally infinite, and he grabbed Amon's hand: “I don't know how to show respect for you, brave warrior and great Legion Leader! When you came to Cape Town State to return Nero's relics in public, I never dreamed that you would stand up for today's work. There have been many things, I apologize to you personally..."
Amon interrupted him and said, "Lord, why do you have to say this? I suppose I was an unknown exotic hunter, you gave me courtesy and shelter, and notarized Lord Nero's will, giving me such a precious relic, there is no debt, you have never personally sorry for me. I am grateful that you even made me who I am today because you went to Tucker. ”
It was unimaginable a few years ago that Amon had been able to walk alongside Rhode-Dick when the two men walked together into the Ecuadorian realm. When Rhode-Dick arrived in Duke Town, he was so high that the nobility of his position could barely be regarded. And Amon never looked up to him, but he never looked down on him, past or present.
They were supposed to be the last to enter Cape Town State, which was ready for a grand ceremony to celebrate victory, but this ceremony was abruptly postponed. Having just withdrawn from the battlefield, the broken Angela Legion received an urgent order to turn to the forefront to defend itself against the Uruk Legion, which suddenly plunged into the Ecuadorian border.
Gilgamesh and Enqidu actually launched an attack on Cape Town State at this time!
The timing chosen by Gilgamesh was extremely deadly, and Ecuda's long march had just returned, with heavy casualties and fatigue in the main regiment, and no time to rest. More importantly, apart from the Ann-La Regiment, the long besieged Horus Regiment and the Isis Regiment, which have collapsed in the desert, have lost their energy and will be difficult to fight in the short term.
After all, the regiment is composed of people, whose physical strength and energy are generally limited, who have been in a state of high tension for months in the desert, returning to the spirit of Egyptian relaxation, whose fighting power is naturally scattered and difficult to muster together for a short time. Two regiments that had arrived early in Cape Town State had been repatriated in batches, leaving only elite SS troops and senior generals, and the remaining soldiers were on their way back to their positions. The Uruk Legion suddenly arrived, somewhat out of hand.
Unfortunately, the Pharaoh army has been withdrawn because Amon's seizure of the King facilitated peace talks between the two countries. Otherwise, the timing of the attack by the Uruk Legion coincided with the siege of the Pharaoh's army in the north of the desert, when Gilgamesh was able to take advantage of the shortage of money and could not resist in any case only the half-branch of the Sete Legion gathered in Rhode-Dick's hands.
The peace talks between the two countries were an accident, and Gilgamesh had no idea that he had sent a special envoy to Hattie's battlefield commander, Song, at the time of his departure. The letter strongly condemned the acts of aggression perpetrated by Egyptian Pharaoh Rashis II and expressed the readiness of the Kingdom of Baron and the State of Uruk to help Hathi to overcome together its brutal enemies by attacking the Cape Town State, cutting off the path of the Egyptian Expeditionary Army, occupying its logistical base and cooperating with the Kingdom of Hathi to destroy the Pharaoh Army in the desert.
If the battle were to develop so much, the Ecuadorian Expeditionary Army, including the Ann-La Regiment, would all be dead, and the Ann-La Regiment, the Horus Regiment, the Isis Regiment and the Sete Regiment would all be doomed to complete defeat. Even if other regiments from the Ecuadorian mainland came to the rescue, it was too late to fight the Uruk Legion for border guards after the defeat of the front line.
Unfortunately, the situation had changed so quickly that the messengers sent by Gilgamesh had just departed and Ecu and Hattie had completed the peace talks and withdrawn their troops. By the time the Uruk legions entered the southern part of the Syrian desert, Pharaoh had led the way back to Cape Town State. Gilgamesh failed in his fantastic intentions, but he did not change his marching plans and still led the regiment straight to the border.
Gore received a letter from Gilgamesh on the way out, and he could only laugh and sigh. At that time, Gore had handed over the post of Commander of the Legion and Commander-in-Chief of the Battlefield, and no longer had control of the army. Gilgamesh was late for this letter, and Gore simply forwarded it to the King for processing. Hattie and Ecu have signed and become allies, the Pharaoh army has withdrawn from Ecu territory, and Lucille will certainly not cooperate with the military operations of the Kingdom of Baron.
And on the other hand, the Kingdom of Baron is not necessarily good intentions! While the Uruk army crossed the western end of the river, another ferry in the middle of the river, Nqidu, slaughtered the land of Humbaba, another city and state corps in the Kingdom of Baron, the Kish Corps, has been assembled and the elite corps from King Baron, the Marduk Corps, is ready to be assembled around the ferry. That is the nearest position of the Kingdom of Baron to the Tuk Plains, 300 miles from the eastern shore of the inland lake as long as you march along the edge of the mountains across the juvenile river.
The intention of the two regiments assembling there has become obvious: to intervene in the event of the defeat of Hattie and Ecu, and to intervene in the battle over the Turk Plains. It is also very nice to say that it is to help the Kingdom of Hati to resist its powerful enemies. Naturally, it cannot be done for nothing with the help of a large army, and the Kingdom of Hati is asked afterwards to express its “gratitude”, so naturally the target is the Turk Plains.
Prime Minister Lucille wrote a reply, politely rejecting Gilgamesh's “good intentions”, stating that Hattie and Ecu had signed a peace agreement and formed an alliance to resist foreign enemies, the Kingdom of Baron and Gilgamesh.
In the meantime, Lucille sent a flight to Cape Town State to send an urgent report informing Pharaoh of the military developments in the Kingdom of Baron. Hattie will certainly not send troops across the desert to defeat the Uruk Corps, a powerful corps led by Gilgamesh and Enqidu that is fearful on the mainland. But Lucille was also very good at speaking, and in his letter he referred to the information that two regiments of the Kingdom of Baron had assembled in the state of Kish, stating that they were to be guarded against heavy soldiers in the north of the desert, echoing the Ecu in the south of the desert, which actually meant that they were in charge.
The Uruk Legion proceeded too quickly, and because of the outbreak of war, there were no merchants in the desert and the news blockade was tight along the way. It was not until the day before the Lucille Express that Pharaoh learned of the dynamics of Gilgamesh, of course, that he was greatly dismayed. Fortunately, the generals were around, even after the evening negotiations, and issued several emergency orders ——
The Isis and Horus regiments, which are being repatriated in batches, are being urgently assembled, the wounded and sick returned to the site for rest and recuperation as originally planned, and the remaining combatants are being reintegrated. The Gabe Regiment, which had originally rushed to Cape Town State for reinforcements, was also ready to return, and it was time to accelerate to the front line.
These arrangements require more or less time, and it is imperative that the first wave of attacks by the Uruk Legion be blocked on the front line. At the suggestion of the neighbouring ministers, Pharaoh ordered the withdrawal of the interrupted Angolan army from the border to confront the enemy and appointed Amon as commander-in-chief of the battlefield. Rhode-Dick, who stayed at the narrow border, became the battlefield commander.
Ammon was promoted from commander to commander-in-chief of the battlefield, commanding not only the Angela Regiment, which he had led, but also the remnants of the Sete Regiment assembled in Rhode-Dick's hands. The two dissatisfied Isis and Horus regiments will also be under the unified command of Ammon when they are reintegrated into the front line.
Unless the non-combatant logistics elements are counted, the Ann La Regiment war has not yet been replenished and there are currently more than 4,000 men to fight; the Sete Regiment has been able to fight only more than 2,000 men; the Isis Regiment and the Horus Regiment have been regrouped together and more than 5,000 men to fight, with General Ammon commanding more than 13,000 fighters and hundreds of clerics.
In the rear Cape Town State, the logistical munitions personnel who cooperated in the war transported heavy and construction work, totalling more than 100,000 people. This is almost equivalent to Gore's place in the last war, when Ammon was pushed to the tip of the wind before the defense.
Is this how Amun was weighed by Pharaoh and Ecumene? This is not the case, it is a job that will only ever fail or even die, the same as anyone else. Amon has been promoted, but he will also be a bad luck to the black pot, because the battle on the front line must be defeated.
Uruk City State is the most powerful city in the Kingdom of Baron except for the King's Capital, and Uruk Corps is recognized as the most powerful corps on the continent. Gilgamesh, who had been recruiting horses for covert training and enlargement in previous years, this time with the Kingdom of the North covering his reins, did not worry, so he attacked with all his might, with a total of 8,000 trained elite fighters and nearly 100 clerics.
Even if Amon commands the entire army of the weary division to engage, not to mention the fact that the Horus Legion and the Isis Legion have not yet been integrated into the front line, it is unlikely that they can be stopped by the present Ann-La Legion and the remnants of the Sete Legion.
Legend has it that the first samurai of mainland China, Enqi, has the undue courage of Wanfu, and can take the head of the commander among Wanfu. Whether the legend is true or false, Enqi killed Humbaba, but there is no doubt about it. Amon, think more about his life.
This was preceded by a very intriguing little insert. After Pharaoh arrived at the palace in Cape Town State, Amon was also on his way back to lead the An-La Regiment, and Pharaoh convened a group of ministers to negotiate and issue an order that Amon would be given more important appointments and generous rewards as he returned to King Ejudu.
Nor can this decision be said to be unreasonable. The Ann La Corps is a shortly after the formation of a miscellaneous army. It was Amon who built this elite division and won the great battle. He himself made incredible achievements, and his prestige in the army is as high as day. Others, including Pharaoh, may not be able to command this regiment if Amon remains in the position of commander of the regiment and if there is any resistance.
After all, Amon is a foreigner, and it is impossible not to suffer from suspicion because he is shallow, so there is no need to say more about why people are suspicious of him. So Pharaoh and the ministers agreed that Ammon should be given a higher position and a lot of wealth, but he was no longer in charge of the regiment.
The messenger from the Pharaoh had just left for the border to deliver an order, immediately followed by news of the Uruk army's massive infiltration. Things changed dramatically, and at an emergency meeting in the House of Lords, those ministers who had recommended that Pharaoh should be removed from the post of Commander of the Army of Amun, had their attitudes reversed. When Pharaoh was unanimously advised to withdraw his order immediately and to promote Amon as commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Amon was promoted.
Nor can this suggestion be incorrect, as evidenced by the war just witnessed, that Ammon was indeed a good fighter and that today's reputation is on the rise, and that his appointment is “the home of all".
Pharaoh dispatched another great sorcerer urgently, manipulated the shuttle to catch up with the apostles who had gone halfway, retracted the original order and replaced it with the latest appointment.
Since the Angolan Legion was carrying out a post-mortem mission, Amon, as the Commander of the Legion, was at the end of the army, while the leading forces of the Angolan Legion had arrived in the middle of the Cape Castle and the border. Amon did not receive the first order from Pharaoh, but John met the messenger on the way.
After hearing the news, John was so angry that he pulled out his sword that he almost tried to chop people off. No one knows better than John how hard it took for Amon to build the Ann-La Legion, and he was relieved of his military power just after winning.
Nor did the messenger dare provoke the general, but could only laugh and explain that Pharaoh's intention was to promote Amon to a more noble and important post. John drinks furiously: "Bullshit! Amon is a samurai. Is there a better position than the head of the Imperial Legion? Even if he were to be appointed to another post, he could have been the head of the regiment! So, young general, you can't be Imperial Secretary of State, do you want him to be a high priest? ”
John started his temper to say nothing, surrounded by a murderous army, and the messenger was too scared to say much. He could only explain that he was merely sending letters, which was the decision of Pharaoh and the people. It was at that time that Julian arrived with the latest orders to operate the shuttle, and Amon not only remained the Legion Leader of the Ann-La Legion, but also became the Battlefield Commander.
That tone of voice was followed by John, who immediately led the lead troops back to the border to rendezvous with Amon.
……
On his way back to the army, Amon received the latest appointment from Pharaoh, and the messenger was Julian, who had a grudge against him. Julian, who is also the main cleric of the Sete Legion, will remain on the front line under Amon's command. I wonder what this great magician is in the mood for right now. Will he wait to see Amon's defeat from a personal standpoint? But honor and communion on the battlefield, if the front line defeats, Julian, the main cleric of the Sete Legion, will not have a good outcome.
When he saw this great magician who had sent thousands of miles to hunt him down, Amon didn't say much nonsense. He didn't say a word about the past. First, he was relieved by the public affairs office, and then he gathered the leaders around him to discuss the battle plan.
The forces that are now able to assemble at the border are the remnants of most of the Legion of Ann-La and the Legion of Sete, in addition to the important generals of the two Legions, there is also an adviser, Aristotle, a member of Rhode-Dick's staff. Amon heard that Aristotle was also in the army and deliberately invited him to the meeting. Aristotle, however, was not militarily savvy on the pretext that he had not spoken at the Conference.
The adults studied the map and the sand tray for a long time and agreed that the attack of the Uruk Legion could not be stopped at all.
The Archmage of George sighed: "In today's operational situation, even if the Horus and Isis regiments are reconstituted and rushed to the border, it will be difficult for us to resist the Uruk regiment positively. ”
John asked impatiently, "Aren't those two regiments called the empire's most elite fighting force? ”
George stopped saying, “It depends on who the opponent is and what the situation is today. If the Horus Corps and the Isis Corps had just departed from the Ecuadorian border a few months ago, of course they would not be afraid to fight the Urk Corps, but now..."
Julian frowned: "If you want an even enemy, you have to wait for the reinforced Geber Regiment to join the army on the front line. But the water couldn't save the fire, and the Uruk army marched too fast. I'm just wondering, what is their purpose in battle? They can't defeat the Ecumenical Empire in the end. Why should the Master attack? ”
Ammon pointed to the sandbox: “The operational purpose of the Uruk Legion is to speculate that they cross the desert from east to west and do not expect to defeat the Egyptian Empire as a whole, simply by occupying the eastern part of Cape Town State, which contains water grass and fields, and by establishing strategic fortifications, to control the entire Syrian desert. Let us not forget that, with the exception of the Egyptian Empire, the countries nearby are among the most powerful in Baron.
Amon drew a line along the narrowest part of the land with his fingers on the sand tray, dividing two fifths of the land in Cape Town State, suggesting that this was the target to be occupied by the Uruk Legion.
