Pivot of the Sky

Amon finally leads the front-line crowd back to Cape Town State Castle and once again meets Ecupharaoh Rasis II. And Rhode-Dick, the owner of Cape Town State, has returned half a month early to prepare for a grand celebration. The ceremony was presided over by Pharaoh himself, Empire High Priest Lee Quaid, while Imperial General Amon enjoyed the highest privilege, almost half a step behind in the sacrifice to Horus side by side with Pharaoh.

The ceremony took place in the Temple of the City State, but its true climax was when the battle team crossed the square to receive the cheers of all the people. Amon walked beside Pharaoh in shining armor, wearing a long sword. This was not a battle costume, but a dress for the Great General to attend the ritual of the sacrificial gods. The sword was a special gift from Pharaoh.

Amon has walked here for the second time to hear the cheers of all the people, the last time he came to return Nero's relics, when people praised the great god and the wise Lord of the City, Rod Dick. This time the story was changed, and the people praised the gods, Pharaoh and Amon.

Ammon is more brilliant than the gods and Pharaoh. Young handsome and dressed as Empire General, he has built wonder kung fu to triumph back. He is a man's idol, a woman's dream fantasy. Countless lights focused on him, Amon heard people cheering on his name, the kind of inner reverence and worship that merged into a force that he could clearly feel when he unfolded that strange ability!

Ammon, who had lost his power, somehow felt a novel power on such occasions, but he did not know what use it was. It was not the magician's power, nor the warrior's force, but contained too many subtle unknowns. He also felt all sorts of thoughts between the doors of the Underworld. Is that the world's prayer for the Queen of the Underworld, and does it contain such power?

Anunaki Underworld is the divine domain of Hereby the Pluto. Is this also where the magic of the so-called divine domain lies? Is that the power that the gods know how to use?

Countless people's hearts and minds reflected into Ammon's soul, and countless eyes cast on him. Ammon felt an unknown sense of oppression and even seemed to have gone to another battlefield. He didn't want to be so eye-catching, but there was nowhere to hide, and when people cheered his name wave over Pharaoh's name, he could clearly feel the slightest dissatisfaction with Rashith II. How can Pharaoh describe this emotion, like a child being robbed of his beloved toy, or an alcoholic seeing someone drinking better wine?

Of course, Racis II would not reveal this sentiment, and he walked in front of the team with a tall golden crown, the most magnificent king on the continent. Amon glanced at the crowd on both sides and found a number of girls waving their headscarves at him, pointing their fingers at his cherry lips and waving wildly at him, shouting words of passion and even blushing heartbeat.

Amon can only smile in the dark, and somehow recalls Gilgamesh. After Gilgamesh slaughtered Humbaba, he sent a portion of his serpentine teeth and braces to King Baron's capital, as he did when he entered the city. At that time, Barron came to greet the noble mindset, but the arrogant hero did not care at all, so generous as to wave his head and accept the cheers of all the people.

Ammon doesn't have the Gilgamesh kind of pie, although today he also has the same prestige as Gilgamesh. Perhaps in a different mindset, Gilgamesh is a hereditary city owner, a pride of the city state since childhood, and Amon has always been a magician, with a mission to unravel the secrets of the gods, so he is not used to exalting so much.

Gilgamesh, once a proud hero, has faded away and achieved the glory of Amon today.

When Pharaoh reached the end of the long steps and turned around in front of the gates of the majestic temple to show his hands to the people, the cheer reached its pinnacle, like a tsunami. Many people in the square trembled with excitement and even their voices howled. Amon stepped back and stood quietly by his side, while your generals and priests were separated under the long steps.

This scene reminds Amon of Grey, whose reputation in the Kingdom of Hati has now reached an inexhaustible peak. Whether it was Gilgamesh in the past or Grey in the present day, Ammon's status and glory seemed to rival it, but he was clear to himself that the reality was very different.

Ammon is an alien, his history is somewhat unclear, his status rises too fast and too young, he is too prestigious in the army, undoubtedly has the suspicion of a powerful and powerful shock Lord, as can be seen from the emotions of Pharaoh just now. Neither King Hattie nor King Baron, even if his heart is constrained, can do anything about Grey or Gilgamesh, but Ammon is in a different situation, not to mention now that he has lost his power to defend himself.

And when Ecumens followed Pharaoh into the temple, and the cheers of the multitude remained outside the door, the statue of Horus, the majestic, came face to face. Horus, who served in the Temple of Cape Sea, was the body of a man, wearing the wings of a giant eagle, and Amon remembered the eagle that had been slashed by the sword of Enlightenment.

He thought of one thing. Did he just feel the power of the amalgamation of the gratitude and admiration of all the people, the power of the so-called gods? Perhaps the meaning of the divine domain as well! The statue above the altar is certainly not Horus himself, but Amon can sense the pressure of gaze, like having some kind of life, like Horus right here.

What does this statue mean to the gods? That's probably the answer. Is it really necessary to be a god and stand tall on the altar? Perhaps not. This is not what Amon is thinking right now, but he can't help but think.

After the sacrificial ritual to the gods, it was a grand dinner. As if to return to the banquet with Hattie in the desert, many rose up to toast Pharaoh, then toast Amon and celebrate his work. Pharaoh himself patted Amon on the shoulder: "Our great general is the first warrior of the real continent! ”

The day after dinner, it was time to get down to business. Legions need to return to their places of rest and recuperation, soldiers killed in action need to be paid pensions, soldiers who have fought in battle need to be rewarded. The main event is agreed between Pharaoh and the group members and then handed over to the operators for implementation.

In fact, the recent battles of the Ecumenical Empire did not win at all, and the battle in Hati fell into a desperate situation, and the peace talks succeeded because of the unexpected reversal of the war situation. As for the battle with the Uruk Legion, it was first retreated and then defended. Although the other side was severely damaged, the losses of the Ecuda Army were even greater, and finally the Uruk Legion took the initiative to retreat.

For the glory of the Empire and the face of Pharaoh, of course, it can be said that this was the victory of Ecu, but the two wars did not take advantage of anything, and it can be said that the wounded and wounded of the labor and the people were ultimately nothing, which in vain consumed enormous human, material and financial resources, but Racis II still had to reward the whole army with a great victory.

Since Pharaoh himself was not distressed, Amon naturally did not have to consider it for him, so that the commanders of the regiments would submit directly to Pharaoh the list of sergeants in need of key awards, and the rest of the ordinary rewards and pensions would be handed over to the Ecumenical Ministry. As for the Angela Legion, which he personally led, the successful personnel were naturally unaccounted for, and the Registrar had already counted them.

The rewards of Amon's nomination are, of course, truly famous. Not only did Theo, a munitions officer of the Angela Corps, finally become a nobleman as he wished, but he also became a nobleman with a title seal, thanks to Ammon's deliberate bail, and he hung a false title in the estate office of Monfis City State.

If there is a seal, there must be a seal, but Pharaoh did not give the territory directly, but allowed Theo to spend his own money to buy it. Theo, of course, had no right to buy a plot of land near the city of Memphis as his own territory, and now he could.

Former front-line commander John Ho, who had been slandered for reckless crimes and later promoted by Amon to the Ann-La Regiment, was severely injured in the attack against the Uruk Regiment and has now returned to Menfest City for rest. His credit was also considerable, with Ammon assuming the rank of third rank, which was already equivalent to that of the military commissioner of the city state.

Amon also requested the resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Battlefield and the Legion Commander of the Ann-La Regiment, formally handing over the discharge authority. Pharaoh left behind a few false words to persuade Amon to remain the leader of the Legion of Ann-La and to thank him for training such an elite division for the Empire. Amon also relinquished the burden of surrendering his military power. Naturally, he was determined to resign, so Pharaoh pushed the boat, and Amon was honored to leave his post.

Despite the withdrawal of the Uruk Legion, it is now clear that the dispute over the Turk Plains is not over and that the defence of Cape Town State is naturally more important than ever. Rhode-Dick applied to Pharaoh for the presence of the Ann-La Regiment in Cape Town State, which was clearly not sufficient for the original city state guard to return to the site for integration.

Amon made the same recommendation to Pharaoh and elected John as his successor. John is not a great samurai yet, but he is also one of the direct organizers of this regiment, and recommending him is certainly fine. Pharaoh agreed that the Legion of Ann-La would be stationed in Cape Town State and did not veto John's appointment, but merely deduced that it would wait for General John's wounds to be reconsidered.

The sergeants who followed Amon in his march were rewarded without having to go into detail. Eighty of them were chosen to defend themselves on his march, leaving 36 who survived this series of wars. These men were chosen specifically by Medanzo and are very well qualified, all civilians with no background and illiteracy, who followed Ammon into death and are now nobles.

Personal defense belongs to the nature of the private army and is an instrument of escort for the great nobility of the Empire, but their salaries are paid by the Empire, and Amon himself can subsidize them at his own expense. After the surrender of the discharge authority, it is naturally impossible to maintain a large number of private armies, 36 of whom are divided into three teams, precisely the number of friendly men who meet the requirements of an imperial general, and Amon is ready to take them back to his territory.

Amon now has the false title of only one general, but his position is very high, exceeding that of the general city owner, comparable to that of the great city owner such as Monfis and the high priest of the Temple of Isis, so the status of SS captain next to him is also low, in terms of rank equivalent to that of the general state guard officer, which Amon can personally appoint.

However, he did not continue to appoint Medanzo. Medanzo's status is rather embarrassing, as he is a Baron nobleman and is of an employed nature, while the Ecundant Army had just fought the Uruk Legion from Baron some time ago. Amon was unaware of this battle before his departure, otherwise he would not have let Medanzo serve as the SS captain directly.

In the war against the Uruk Legion, he did not allow Medanzo to lead the soldiers to the battlefield, but merely appeared on the battlefield as his own escort. After the war, he surrendered his military powers, and Medanzo naturally left the Egyptian army, receiving a large sum of money without any other reward.

It doesn't matter, Amon asked Medanzo to temporarily return to the newly acquired territory with the Guard Guard Guard. The Guard Captain's candidate would be vacant, save it for later humane delivery.

Less gossip, in the chamber of the Pharaoh's Palace, after all the messy matters had been settled, Pharaoh was preparing to withdraw the group, but Amon stood up and left his seat to come to the center of the lobby and bowed down to Pharaoh to salute him: “Your Majesty, Amon has one more thing to ask of you. ”

Pharaoh smiled. “Please sit down and say anything you want. ”

Amon did not stand up and said not slowly: “You said personally after your meeting with King Hattie that if I wanted anything to give, I would now like to make a request to His Majesty after returning to Ecuadorian despite asking. ”

This is a blatant gift in front of the people. Pharaoh has already rewarded Amon. Now he must continue to ask for it, and grasp what Pharaoh has said in front of the people. It is inevitable that the court will be forced to do so. However, with his credit, he withdrew with only one false title. It is also normal to ask for rewards after handing over the discharge power. Whatever the demands, Pharaoh has no difficulty in rejecting them.

Ramesses II smiled for a moment, laughing softly: "Amon, naturally you can ask for any gift, say it, as long as I can get it out! ”

Amon: "Thank you, Your Majesty. You have given me enough, and I do not want to make any more demands. It is just that my people, the descendants of the miners of the original town of Duke, are still serving hard labour in Mount Ho. I want you to release them and give them back their freedom. I fought for the Empire, for your glory, and to save my people. ”

Pharaoh frowned: “Is this happening? I don't know! ”

Without knowing whether Pharaoh knew or was bewildered, Amon took a volume of the document and raised it above his head: “Perhaps His Majesty could not remember such a small thing, but it was important to me. It is an official record that you personally ordered them to be imprisoned in Mount Ho. ”

One of the servants took the paperwork to Pharaoh, and Racis II opened it and took a look, and he said, “I remember, this is what happened. General Amunda, I cannot refuse your request. But do you remember the peace talks we signed with the Kingdom of Hattie? You are also a witness to the appointment to return the fleeing slave. And We left them in Mount Ho as a protection. Will We return them to the Kingdom of Hati? ”

Amon replied silently: "Your Majesty did not have to return them to the Kingdom of Hati at all, because they left Hati not as slaves, but as refugees who had lost their homes and had nowhere to live. They were received by His Majesty, who was generous and merciful, and I thank them on behalf of his people! ”

Amon pushed Pharaoh a little, and Pharaoh's face was not very pretty, and the Minister of the Interior of the empire next to him quickly intervened: “General Amonta knows something, they are now Pharaoh's slaves. Though you have done great things for the Empire, they are only your kind and cannot be given freedom because of your merits. ”

Amon thought, “Well done, I ask His Majesty to give me these slaves. ”

When Pharaoh looked at Amon, he finally laughed: "Sure, it's only dozens of slaves. How can I convince General Equus if I am stingy enough to give them all? Amon, your people are now your slaves, and you can bring them back to your land. ”

When they spoke earlier, the chiefs in the hall heard Pharaoh reject Amon's initial request, appeared indignant, and all meant to open his mouth. Now they hear Pharaoh agree to give these slaves to Amon, which is no sound. With Amon's credit, it's only dozens of slaves to talk about, and he's one of his own kind. That's a big deal.

Amon saluted: "Thank you for your grace! ”

Pharaoh was probably ashamed of himself, and he asked, “Amon, what else do you want? Whether it's treasure or beauty, or more slaves and territories, can be raised. ”

Amon laughed: "Now that His Majesty has said so, I do have a request that you grant me another territory. ”

I didn't expect Amon to really climb the pole. The Pharaoh's words were hard to retrieve. I had to ask him again: "Great General, you already have a large territory, where do you see it? ”

Ammon's request was indeed a little excessive, and the generals looked at him curiously, and they didn't know what place the general liked. If there was a Lord's Land, it would be a little difficult to deal with it. I saw Amon pull another sheepskin roll out of his arms without panic. He raised his head above him: "I have prepared the map for His Majesty to look at. ”

The pharaoh picked up the sheepskin roll presented by the inner waiter and was surprised: “Tucker Plains! This is not part of the Ecumenical Empire!” Ammon presents a map of the Duke Plains. Around the original town of Duke, he paints an irregular circle of two or three hundred miles. It is precisely after examining the terrain that he is best placed to live and build a fertile soil in the city.

Amon nodded: "Yes, I can't be military and greedy, and naturally I can't ask for more territory in the Empire. But under the Pact between Ecu and Hattie, explorers from both countries have access to search for wealth and reclaim the wilderness. I merely ask His Majesty to grant me in his name, as to whether I can reclaim it as a territory, all on my own. ”

So that's it! Everyone in the group showed a liberal look. This demand, which Pharaoh refused without reason, was beneficial to him, gave Amon a territory that was not in Ecuadorian territory, and he needed Amon himself to reclaim it. Pharaoh looked at Amon and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, looks like you're ready! Then let the Ministry of the Interior issue an instrument giving you this land in the name of the territory, but you need to occupy and reclaim it yourself. ”

Once again, Amon thanked him for standing up and returning to his seat. He had already prepared two things to accomplish today's event and relied on the military merit in front of the crowd, forcing Pharaoh to nod his head.

Although only a nominal enclosure had been acquired, significance was important to Amon. Pharaoh's refusal to disqualify the miners' slaves, and Amon's request to Pharaoh to give them to himself, were only the first step. Although Amon can treat those slaves well in his territory, they are, after all, slaves and Amon has no right to give them freedom. Once they had fled the country, they would still be returned in accordance with the Ecu and Hattie agreements.

Even though the Pharaoh expedition did not take advantage, he was still not desperate for the Duke Plains and wanted to keep this group of miners in his hands. The descendants of the town of Duke were the rightful owners of that land, but now they are the slaves of Pharaoh, and as long as Pharaoh gets the deed, the owners of the slaves will become the owners of that land.

Pharaoh questioned the whereabouts of the deed before the war, but Moses and others simply said that the deed had long disappeared from the flood with the town of Tuk. The absence of a deed was just a cover, and Pharaoh still waged an expedition.

This group of miners has a more important role. Not only have they mastered the magical skill, the efficiency of mining the Divine Stone is much higher than that of ordinary magicians, but they are also familiar with the mineral vein distribution around the town of Duke, symbolizing a living and immense wealth, how can they get away with it easily!

Even more so now that there are new developments, their retention in the Egyptian Empire will be a means of restraining Amon. Amon has a great reputation among the inhabitants of Egypt, especially the army, and such a man cannot fail Pharaoh. If he was faithful to serving the Ecuadorian Empire, it would be all but a blow to the Ecuadorian Empire if Amundo went to any other country on the continent. Pharaoh naturally did not want Amon to return to his homeland with his people, and such a person must be used for the dwelling of Ehu, which is not another matter.

It is no big deal that Pharaoh gave that slave to Amon. They are still the slaves of the Egyptian Empire. Being held in Amon's territory is not only a grace, but also a better suppression.

But Amon was also prepared for this move, and asked Pharaoh for a frightening territory, and in this case he could not fail to say yes!

As Lord of the Seal, Amon can naturally send his own slaves to reclaim. The two requests appear to be irrelevant, but they happen to allow Moses and others to return home from the enslavement of Egyptian. As for their status when they returned to the Turk Plains, it was no longer the Pharaoh's turn.

Today's Empire General is no longer as ignorant as he was when he first left Duke Town. Amon sat in the position of commander-in-chief of the battlefield, dealing with a lot of people from all sides. Inspired by a long time ago, Princess Little Si of the Kingdom of Baron gave Eucil, the leader of the United Tribes of Giants, a territory that was not in the Kingdom of Baron.

Amon, this is with Princess Xiao Xi, but he made a request. He has always been a simple child, he never plays with people. He played a big game the first time he played officiating, the opponent was Ecupharaoh.

Pharaoh immediately reacted to Ammon's intentions, but there was nothing to be done at this moment. How much credit does it owe to King Hattie to rescue the Great Army crisis, bring about talks between the two countries, command the Great Army to defeat the Uruk Regiment, and summon the Spirit to guard the Ecuadorian realm! He offered only two insignificant requests, which he could not refuse.
