Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 156: 154, Bloody River

General Amunda, who had five titles, has now cut one into four, while the first title, "Familiarity of the Great Spirit Horus”, has disappeared, while the other title, "Succession to Ann-La Glory”, has been mentioned in the first place and changed to “Glory of Ann-La Glory”.

This change is of course due to the fact that Horus not only lost the status of King Ecuadorian God, but even ceased to possess the title of god, while Ann La became the only supreme god of the law. The monotheistic reform of Eraht, first of all with the seal of Amon, the famous Empire General of Hehe, is both a test and a proclamation.

Amon has nothing to say but thank you, and the Ecumens know where the Empire is now. Don't look, it's just a change of title for the general, but the actual role is important.

Amon's glory was earned on the battlefield and he enjoyed a high reputation among the people. There is also a rumor coming from whenever and wherever, and it is because of the protection of the Angelan gods that the Angelan Legion was able to achieve a miraculous victory on the battlefield. The defeat of the empire's most elite major Horus regiment naturally symbolizes Horus' retreat from injury.

The Imperial Legion is named after the gods, and naturally there is another meaning. Soldiers believe that the name of the Legion is the god of protection on the battlefield. While the first battle of the Horus Legion was almost complete, a newly formed Angelan Legion of Miscellaneous Armies succeeded in saving the fate of the Ecumenical Empire. Such rumours, once disseminated, do have a considerable impact in folk and are fuelling monotheistic reforms in Elahtpharaoh.

Even if the Divine Spirit possesses the kingdom of the Divine Domain, in order to transform it into a true "domain of divine power's origin”, it also requires true faith and dedication. The establishment of a single divine system must have a corresponding social foundation in order for Sete to enjoy the status of the true Lord God in the name of An-La.

After Ammon returned to thank Pharaoh for his reward, Elaht issued a series of new decrees requiring the cities and states to replace the main gods in the temple with Ann La. The rest of the gods, including Horus, do not cancel the sacrifice, but must rank behind Seth. At the same time, he built a new magnificent Temple of the Lord Ann-La in Hilmore and designated Hilmore as the new capital of the Empire.

The monotheistic reform of Erlacht is also of real significance in the secular of the Ecumenical Empire, concentrating and strengthening the reign of the Crown. After a war of national mobilization, factional clashes within the empire became increasingly apparent, particularly between the emerging noble class and centuries-old descendant nobility.

The death of Rashith II was so sudden that Elaht's position was not firm after his succession. He was not the eldest son of Rashith II, but only the luckiest of the princes, who took up the throne with the support of Kwon. Many of the powers of the Ecumenical Empire held in the hands of traditional descent aristocrats represented by a group of clerics, and the reform of Eraht amounted to a centralization of the cauldron wage increases.

There is also a certain difference between the concepts of hereditary clergy groups and theologians. Great theologians like Maria and George do not belong to this force, but rather to the nobility that has emerged in recent years. And a man like Rhode-Dick, although not a magician himself, is still the chief cleric of Cape Town State, typically represented by generations of local military powers.

For example, the Linton family, from which Nero originated, is also part of a group of hereditary clerics, with which Amon has had a strong conflict, and one of the inevitable contradictions caused by the rise of the new forces represented by Amon, if not by personal factors.

The combination of theocracy and kingship dominates, and when the status of kingdoms is unstable, power is easily held by local lineage groups. The transformation of the Jiulian Divine System was an opportunity for Erlacht to carry out monotheistic reforms. It was also an initiative to weaken the various conflict forces and strengthen centralization in the country, renaming itself and building a new king were the most important symbols.

Elaht temporarily did not dream of the temple of Isis, but by ordinance and ordinance Isis became an angel, and Pharaoh gave the angel a special title “Angel of the Virgin Mary” and the original Isis Goddess guardian Mary's latest title - Angel Guardian of the Virgin Mary.

Isis Temple is also dedicated to the "Angel of Notre Dame Isis”, but the most important thing on both sides of the main temple is reconstructed. On the eastern side the sun rises is dedicated to Ann La, and on the western side to the angels led by Sett. In fact, this is Sett's temple, and the angels behind it are only clusters of his companions.

Not surprisingly, he soon received a Pharaoh's warrant from Herak City State to assemble the craftsmen of Duke Town to build the main temple for the Angela gods in Hilmore. General Amunda's first title was "Glory to Huiyan - La Glory”, and he had no reason to reject the small things in this district, otherwise he was disrespectful to the gods. Pharaoh ordered artisans to be recruited from all the city states, specifically mentioning the miners' clan in the town of Duke.

If Rashith II was immortal and the Nine Legions had not changed, ordinary people would no longer deliberately seek him after the Amunda Dream Faith, unless there was conclusive evidence that the Great General had committed a serious crime. But now everything has changed, the imperial power pattern is being reorganized, and Chancellor Joseph is the strongest supporter of the Reformation of the New Pharaoh, perhaps the best craftsman on the Pharaoh continent he has told.

Even if the Prime Minister did not say so, Pharaoh himself would have let Amon speak, which is the will of the gods and the imperial policy of the Empire. Amon apologized to the Messenger of Herak City State: "I could not have predicted what was happening today, and that group of craftsmen had been sent to the territory of the Turk Plains. ”

“This is Pharaoh's order and must be carried out," said the Messenger. "His Majesty has just sealed a great deal of land for you, merely the requisition of dozens of slaves, which is the most important thing in the empire at present, and the Great General should recall those slaves immediately. ”

Amon nodded: "I immediately sent my own guards to recall them. ”

The Messenger said, "Thank you, General. I will wait in your land for news. ”

John crossed the Ronnie River with a team of guards and “retrieved” Moses and others who had departed along the official route. He returned two days later and reported to Amon with panic: "General, no, your slave abandoned his car and fled! We found their abandoned carriages on official roads by the river, as well as footprints into the deep mountain forest. The mountains are so desolate that we haven't found them all day. ”

When Amon slapped the table, he said, "What, they dare to run away? Keep looking, find it and take it straight to Herak City State!” Then he said to the Messenger: "I am so sorry that the slaves fled, please report to Pharaoh truthfully. I would like to donate a large sum of money to the Empire for the construction of the Temple of Ann-La. ”

Slave escape occurs. It is clear that Grand General Amon did not lie. He is also a victim. Besides, the donation of heavy gold by Amon is not empty language. He has made a donation equivalent to a thousand sacred stones, which far exceeds the value of dozens of ordinary slaves.

The messenger was not aware of the contents, thought that his task had been accomplished well. Although the slaves of the Great General had escaped, he had therefore given a thousand sacred stones, so he comforted Amon and returned to Herak City State to report the situation to the King.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the report, Pharaoh attached great importance to sending an order to award 200 slaves to General Amon in recognition of his tremendous financial contribution to the Temple of Ann La, while also compensating him for the loss of his slave escape. The Pharaoh also ordered the various cities and states of the country to assist the General in retrieving the fleeing slaves and deliberately stressed the importance of the craftsmen in the message of the Spirit.

Ammon's eyebrows were locked after being ordered to do so, and Erlacht was unusual, not simply convening craftsmen, but wanting this group of people to personally give orders for dozens of fleeing slaves to all the country's cities and states. But Pharaoh himself could not be blamed, and Ammon's slaves ran away and suffered losses, not to mention his donation of heavy money.

Faced with such “affection” from the Imperial Pharaoh, General Amunda was also very “grateful”, scolding “incompetent” personal defenses such as John in his territory, and dismissing him in anger from his post as Captain of the SS, to drive him back to Dreamfield. John pleaded, "General, please give me a chance to make amends for my mistakes, even though you relieved me of my position as SS captain. ”

Amon nodded, “John, you've got nothing to do with me. Now that you have a wish to help this general, for the sake of Pharaoh, I'll give you a warrant. You lead all my protégés along the official path to find them, even if you chase them out of Ecuadorian territory! ”

John Voldemort saluted: “Thank you, General, if I can't find them, I will never come to see you! ”

John was relieved of his post by Amon and, in order to recover his fault, he asked the General to continue to seek the escaped slave with his own personal protection, all of which were voluntary and seemingly in implementation of Pharaoh's orders. In fact, before that, Amon asked John privately: "Pharaoh gave orders for dozens of fleeing slaves to cities and states throughout the country, an extraordinary move that seemed to me to leave Eju sooner or later. What will you do after I leave? ”

John wanted and did not want to answer: "Of course I will continue to follow Ammon God with Themis. ”

Amon laughed: “I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave then. I'll give you two choices right now. The first is to relieve yourself of your post as the SS captain. It has nothing to do with me. Go back to Dreamfield and continue to be an idle general. The second option is still to relieve you of your duties, but to give you an opportunity to go where I'm going. ”

John: “Of course it's the second option, and let's not hide it from you, all of your protégés are also vowed to follow. If you leave Ecu, their fate will be miserable, ask the Great General to consider it too. ”

Amon nodded: "You think very thoughtfully, then I'll let you take them all away. ”

Amon asked John to lead all his protégés in pursuit of the fleeing slaves along the official path, giving them an opportunity to leave the Ecuadorian border for the Turk Plains. General Amunda discharged the people around him so clean, the people fled, Medanzo and Link left, and now even John is gone, not even a single guardian left!

Now he is surrounded only by servants of the land, which is tantamount to living alone in a vast strange land, but it seems straightforward. Amon thought clearly that if Pharaoh really wanted to be unfavourable to him, he could leave at any time, but those around him would certainly be involved, so it would be better to prepare early. He is now a light rod general, accompanied by a cat.

Amon did not want to take the initiative to “treason”. If he was convicted of this crime, there would be too many people involved. His men and adults who had recommended him at the time could not escape the relationship. Not to mention, after John left, Amon had begun to unseal Schrödinger's confinement and had no time and energy to deal with anything else.

But Pharaoh Egyptian attaches great importance to the recovery of the Turk people, far exceeding the expectations of ordinary people. Behind Pharaoh's command, there is even the shadow of a god.

……

Moses led the people along the deserted hills on the eastern bank of the Roni River, crossing the rare dense forests, from Helio City State to the north to Bubbas City State. Here, on the east side of the road, they had to cross the road into another mountain to avoid tracking. Moses led the tribe to hide in the mountains and wanted to wait until late at night when no one was on the road.

At night, however, he heard the voice of the Messenger of God again, and Medanzo told him that he could not leave at night until dawn. Indeed, on that night, the city guard with the torch passed through the official road, and there were several rounds in a row. If they saw Moses and others, they would not escape.

Soon after dawn Moses heard Medanzo's voice again: "You may go. ”

Moses woke up the sleeping people and quietly came to the official path, walking a distance along the avenue. Far from the town, the drivers have yet to pass by, the nearby farms are still sleeping, and a cloud is always covering them up. They ventured across this densely populated expanse into another desolate mountainous area and finally relieved themselves.

A few days of trekking in the bush-ridden hills, many places still have to swing knives to cut the thorns open the road, everyone carrying heavy things, even the fine miners are tired. Coming this afternoon to a riverside, a tributary downstream of the Ronnie River and an important source of water for irrigating the land near the city of Bubbas, Moses ordered everyone to stop and rest and take out the utensils for cooking.

Everyone soiled the stove and picked the firewood. Moses ordered six of the twelve divisions to carry out their duties. Do not let the fire-burning smoke rise, lest it be discovered. The fire just lit, and the tribe sent to the river to fetch water fell and ran back to report: “No, there were horrible miracles, the river turned to blood! ”

Moses rushed to the river, and the river flowed with dark red light and a hint of blood. Someone shouted in horror, "Didn't you say the gods would protect us? But miracles are blocking our path. ”
