Pivot of the Sky

Now that Samir is a Class IX warrior, there is no telling who taught her martial arts. It was presumed that her husband, not King Sinah, but Samir's ex-husband, a kingdom general, had taught her.

The general of the Kingdom was stationed in the western border city of Assyria, where there were frequent clashes with nomadic peoples along the border, and Samir fought with his husband. In his early years as king, Sinah was also a military kung fu, and on one occasion led the army to resist the invasion, Samir's husband was in the army, while Samir snuck in armor and followed him to the battlefield.

During the fierce war, Samir's helmet was inadvertently picked off by the enemy, and while her hair was flying, she stabbed one of the other's generals down. Sinah, who commanded the war, happened to see the scene, and took a stunning glance at it. The sound of the battlefield shock seemed to have gone away, and he saw only this beautiful girl in his eyes.

Shortly after the end of the war, Samir's husband was sentenced to death for impeachment, while Samir disappeared for a period of time, and six months later, when she reappeared, became Queen Assyria, when she was only seventeen.

No one in the kingdom dares speak openly about it, and some say privately that she is a woman who adores vanity and power. Sympathizers also argued for Semir that a young girl had to give in under the King's duress. But then again, who wouldn't want to be queen of widows in this kingdom?

Gore recounted the results of his investigation and finally lowered his voice: “No one knew what had happened six months after Samir's ex-husband died and she had become queen. But Faust once told me that Semir's marriage to the king may have something to do with the Oracle, and that he was absolutely under some kind of coercion. Now that she's a Class IX warrior, she can make new choices about things she couldn't have done before. ”

Faust's experience is no secret, but Queen Samir's legend is rather dazzling. Gilgamesh was trying to talk, but he saw Amon suddenly close his eyes as if he was listening to something. It took a while for Amon to open his eyes and say, "I heard the latest news in the prayers of everyone, Gilgamesh, and I'm afraid it has something to do with you. ”

Gilgamesh shook his head: "I've given up everything and searched for the meaning of life in vagrancy, is there anything else relevant to me? ”

Amon added, "I'm afraid the latest news will help our plan. ”

Gore shook his head: "Amon, I know you are a god. If you possess a means that mortals can't, don't catch your appetite. Say it! ”

Amon did not hesitate to say: “Emperor Sinah did expand himself to the extreme, and the Kingdom of Baron had ceded six cities, and he was not satisfied, sending a messenger to order King Hamorabi II of Baron. He was going to marry Princess Xiao Xi and said that if Princess Xi refused, he would assemble his army to take over two more cities in the Kingdom of Baron. Afraid of the brutality of the Assyrian army, the two cities and states have panicked and the inhabitants have fled. ”

Gilgamesh stood up when he heard the rumor and drank angrily: "What a beauty he wanted! ”

Amon and Gore reached out to hold the table together, and the light flashed over, adding perhaps the toughest magic protection in the world to this rough and rudimentary wooden table, and Gilgamesh slapped it on the table.

Gregory asked with a bitter smile, "Jill, do you have any thoughts on Princess Sister? ”

After a flash of anger, Gilgamesh sat down and sighed: “Everyone knew Princess Xiao Xi was my fiancée, but it was just a king's arrangement, I couldn't talk to her about any feelings, not even feelings, and now it's even impossible to have anything to do with it. It's her own business who Princess Xiao Xi wants to marry, but in any case, I don't want to see Princess Xiao Xi and the Kingdom of Baron get bullied like this. ”

Amon glanced at Gore and the two voiced, “So Sinah must die! ”

Princess Xiao Xi has reached the age of twenty and five this year and has been dissolving her engagement with Gilgamesh for several years, but she has not been married, not because she looks or doesn't look, but because her identity is so sensitive. No one in the Kingdom of Baron dared to say anything about Gilgamesh back then, but the situation would be complicated if it were someone else. Because King Baron Hamora is older and has no children, only a sister of his immediate family, Princess Xiao Xi, and the rest of the so-called princes are his nephews.

The laws of the Kingdom of Baron do not prohibit women from regulating or even inheriting the throne, and even in history there has been a precedent for the king without a son, choosing the most powerful nobleman in the country to marry the princess and inherit the throne. Because the queen can pass the throne on to her husband, and whether it's voluntary or not, that's another thing. The battle for the throne depends on two factors: first, who the king passes on to, and secondly, who can control the domestic situation, otherwise even if he inherits the throne, he will not be able to sit on the throne.

Princess Sinatra is a famous beauty in the Kingdom of Baron. Amon has seen it with his own eyes, but Sinatra is not only a beauty, but also a mountain and a river. At present, those who are eligible to succeed to the throne in the Kingdom of Baron are Princess Xiao Xi and several nephews of the King. In recent years, Prince Feng Nyu, who has mastered the army with distinction, has been regarded as a more powerful competitor to the throne than Princess Xiao Xi.

Sinah suddenly intervened in such a way that it was not difficult to speculate that he would marry Princess Xiao Xi and then, through the power of the Assyrian Empire, help Princess Xiao Xi to ascend to the throne, either by holding the Baron Queen in her own hands or simply by forcing Queen Xiao Xi to step back and not by military means to hold the Kingdom of Baron firmly in her own hands.

This is a tremendous move, and whether it comes from Enrique's point of view, if Sinah marries Queen Baron, or simply adds this crown to his own head, he will truly become the great Assyrian Emperor of history. And the Lord God of the Kingdom of Baron can no longer be Marduk, symbolizing Enrique's total victory, who will reunite the divine domain of the Anunaki system.

Gilgamesh looked at Gore and Amon again and said a chilling word: "I'm sure you've guessed Sinah's intentions. It's hard for the Kingdom of Baron to refuse his request today, and Princess Siu is doing what she wants. To stop Sinah's plot, it's actually easier to do than kill Sinah by killing Princess Sinah! ”

Amon frowned: “Do you think so? ”

Gilgamesh shook his head: “Of course I don't think so, but I've lived in the position of city lord for a long time, and I know the politics and the official scene of the kingdom, and I'm sure someone will think so, maybe do the same for himself or for the Kingdom of Baron. For example, Prince Feng Nyu, I'm afraid the first option would be to drop Princess Xiaoxi. Public action is naturally impossible, but assassins can be sent to assassinate. ”

Amon asked, "What if you really assassinate Princess Xiao Xi? ”

"In the current situation in the Kingdom of Barren, there are bound to be main warriors and masters and pacifists, but as long as they are not true traffickers, they will not see Sinah's plot succeed. If Princess Xiao Xi dies, 89 out of 10 will be declared suicidal, which the main warriors can use to write articles that will gather the hearts of the people of the Kingdom with their enemies.

Amon said, “It was suicide. ”

Gore laughed all the time today and nodded his head: “This is a reasonable assumption, it may sound bleak, but this is the part of politics that bores me the most. ”

Amon also laughed bitterly: “In that case, Sinah will surely send someone to protect Princess Xiao Xi. He must not let this princess die, whether suicide or suicide, he will surely try to stop it.” Speaking of which, he suddenly closed his eyes again and listened to what he was listening to. It took a while to open his eyes: “One of my disciples also made a request to me to go to the Kingdom of Baron to protect Princess Xiao Xi. ”

They discussed the matter in the small courtyard, and Iso and George et al. discussed the latest news in the Temple of Amon, where George was from the High Priest of Isis Temple, and speculated on a similar possibility. One of the disciples was unable to sit down and immediately prayed to Amon God in the hope of protecting Princess Xiaoxi, who was Medanzo.

Medanzo and Amon “saved” Princess Xiao Xi. Although it was a kidnapping directed by Princess Xiao Xi himself, Princess Xiao Xi gave him enough reward afterwards. Princess Xiaoxi asked Medanzo to follow her car back to Wangdu and restore his status as a noble samurai. It doesn't matter today, but Medanzo was grateful. And Princess Medanzo was impressed by the beauty of Princess Cecilia, who claimed to be a princess admirer.

Medanzo had an interesting idea, and since she had saved her once, she really saved her again today. On the other hand, he doesn't want Princess Sinatra to fall under Sinatra's control, so Medanzo's “protection" has a dual meaning.

Gilgamesh asked curiously: "Sinah will send someone to protect Princess Xiao Xi. I didn't think any of your disciples would want to protect her. Who is this person and how? ”

Ammon replied, "The purpose of protection is not the same. This man is Medanzo, the head of my disciples. You have seen him on the battlefield. What you have in your hand is the divine bow you have used. ”

Gilgamesh nodded: “This man is quite weak, since he wants to go, send him. ”

Gore looked at Gilgamesh with a faint smile: "Wouldn't you go? ”

Gilgamesh replied as he drank: "I am no longer the owner of Uruk City State, and I will go to King Baron Capital, but only to follow in secret as a vagrant. As for the hero saving beauty, leave it to that Medanzo. ”

"If we don't talk about Princess Sinah herself, it's not a bad thing for Sinah to do it. If he wants to marry Princess Xiaoxi and make Princess Xiaoxi Queen Baron, then Princess Xiaoxi cannot be a common queen. But don't forget, King Sinah already has a queen. What would Semir think? Was he the queen of Samir, a civilian, or should he have two queens at the same time? In the latter case, nothing new had ever happened, but Sinah should be able to do it. ”

“No matter what Sinah does, Semir will not be satisfied," Ammon said with a glass. Besides, Semir has been discord with Sinah and has been reprimanded, and now defeated on the battlefield, which gives Sinah a good excuse to be obsolete. Sinah, of course, attaches more importance to the rivers and mountains of the Kingdom of Baron than Semir thought. It is natural for the emperor to think this way, but it is different for women. If Samir had been coerced into marrying Sinah, and now Sinah is using coercion to marry another princess of the kingdom, whatever the purpose, it would be intolerable for Samir. ”

Singh looked at Amon with a faint smile and said, "God, do you know women well? ”

Amon shook his head gently: “I don't know much, but I can try to feel it. ”

Gilgamesh also glanced at Ammon: “Woman, I don't know, but he should know the goddess very well. ”

Amongst other things, “Princess Xiaoxi's problem is the extraneous branch, and since Medanzo wanted to protect her, I sent him. Let's talk about what just happened, Mr. Gorley, even though you've analyzed so many possibilities, it's hard for us to communicate with Faust and Semir, it's simple, it's hard to do. ”

Gregory twisted the goat's bullshit and said, "Now that I've come up with it, there's naturally a way to sit down and talk to Faust. Amon, I'm afraid this also requires your presence in some way, and the cooperation of Salem City. ”

Amon was strongly advised to send envoys to Enrique to negotiate the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides, and the envoy would also submit an instrument in which the timing, location, modalities and number of prisoners of war would be agreed upon. Official instruments also include diplomatic rhetoric and praise for the gods.

In the name of Iso, the owner of the city of Salem, Grey will write this book himself. He and Faust have been old friends for many years, and there was a regular exchange of letters between the two to discuss various deeply elusive issues. Faust should be able to recognize in a glance the dramatic handwriting and the cryptic words left in the letter.

Gore will arrange a time and place, ask Faust to leave the city to talk to a secret area, as for the content to be discussed, it is also generally clear, and promises to absolutely guarantee the safety of Faust, declaring that this is not a trap or a trap. If Amon promises not to take this opportunity to fight with Faust, Gore will write this letter and wait for Faust at the appointed time and place.

Amon immediately promised not to take this opportunity to trap Faust, but asked him again: "Gregory, you and I have no malice towards Faust, but do you promise Faust won't take this opportunity to ambush you? ”

"Man must live in the world with trust and choice," said Gregory. Amon, if you had an enemy, who would you trust first? ”

Amon looked at the song and said, “Of course it's you, we were enemies. ”

If not even Gregory was trustworthy, there would be no one in the world to trust. The old lunatic trusted Gregory, even letting him witness the last moment of his life. Amon also trusted Grey and gave him command of the Salem Legion without hesitation on the battlefield. And how could Faustus, who has been a friend of Gregory's for years, not know that? Grey earned the prestige of a comparable god in the Kingdom of Hati and did not rely on any conspiracy to fight.

And Gore said, "Even if Faust wanted to ambush us, do you think the three of us would be scared? As long as it is not a matter of mobilizing large armies, at least self-preservation is fine.” He's also right. Who are they afraid of when the three of them come together?

Gilgamesh stunned: “Should I go too? ”

Gregory smiled: "If you're here, why don't you help? It's another battlefield, and it's not too late for you to go to King Baron after Amon sees Faust. ”

Gilgamesh shrugged his eyes and said, “Whether Faust trusts you or not, it is a great adventure for him to come out of town and talk about it. Your plan is likely to succeed as long as he is willing to come and show that there are ideas in his mind. I wouldn't mind going with you as a bodyguard. ”

The three men discussed some more details, and Greer began to write the book on the exchange of prisoners of war between Salem and Enrique. Ammon sent down the message, ordering Iso to prepare a messenger to go to Enrique, and allowing Medanzo to go to Barents, but he did not tell Medanzo that Gilgamesh would also go.

……

The beautiful princess is singing a melancholy song in Barron City, Princess Si's mansion.

“The legend of beauty is gone.

I'm sighing. I'm lost in life.

Happy songs have come to bear the bullying of destiny

The land is separated from the city.

It's all gone, too.

It's a painful crowd.

Even praise startled me.

The people who used to admire my throat are like a floating pig in this world.

A long-forgotten mood.

I wanted that solemn tranquility, too.

And now the song sounds like a lament on a string.

It's like destiny is shaking.

The world in front of us is far away and hidden.

Things have been so faint... ”

The person who truly knew the princess knew that she was not without ambition and had long been secretly eager for the Baron throne, and that she had planned the establishment of Marduk City in the Duke Plains in the name of travelling around the country, not only to examine the situation everywhere, but also to create her own private forces.

In the “kidnapping” of Medanzo and Amon, Princess Xiao Xi even tried to drag Prince Feng Nyu into the water and seize the opportunity to strike at this most threatening political enemy. But man is better than God. With the departure of her fiancé, Gilgamesh, Princess Xiao Xi lost her most powerful arm in politics, while Prince von Nyu was very fortunate to become a hero and political novel in the kingdom.

Prior to the defeat of the Kingdom of Baron, King Hamorabi II had made a decision to stabilize the situation in the country and balance the forces of the parties. After his death, he would be handed down to Prince von Nyu and Princess Xiao Xi would be Prince Regent.
