136. I have two requests
Amon finally led the front-line generals back to the main city of the cape city-state, and once again saw the Pharaoh Lasis II. And the captain of the cape city, Rod Dick, has returned half a month earlier in preparation for the grand celebration. The ceremony was performed by Pharaoh's personal priest and Kingdom High Priest Li Kuide as the master of ceremonies, and the imperial general Amon enjoyed the highest honor, only half a step behind and almost sacrificed to Horus side by side with Pharaoh.
The ceremony was held in the city-state shrine, but its true climax was when the honor guard passed through the plaza to receive cheers from all the people. Amon wore a shining armor waist and a long sword and walked on the side of Pharaoh. This is not a costume for combat, but a dress for the general to participate in the ritual ceremony. The sword is a special gift from Pharaoh.
This is the second time Amon has walked here and heard Wanmin cheering. The last time he came to return Nero ’s relics, people praised the Great Spiritual God and the wise Lord Rod-Dick. This time the story changed the protagonist, Wan Min praised the gods, Pharaoh and Amon.
Amon is more prominent than gods and pharaohs. The young and handsome imperial generals in uniforms have repeatedly built marvelous achievements. He is simply an idol in men's hearts and a fantasy in women's dreams. Countless lights focused on him. Amon heard people cheering his name. The heartfelt reverence and worship converged into a force. When he unfolded that strange ability, he could clearly feel it.
Amon, who has lost his strength, feels a strange power on this occasion, but he does not know what it is for. This is not the magic of the magician nor the force of the warrior. It contains too much mysterious unknown. . He also felt all kinds of thoughts between the gates of the underworld. Is that the world's prayer to the underworld queen, which also contains such power?
Anunnaki Hades is the goddess of Pluto Erepie, is this the mystery of the so-called godland? Is that the power that the **** knows how to use?
Countless people ’s thoughts reflect into Amon ’s soul, and countless ways of eyes are also projected on him. Amon has an inexplicable sense of oppression, and even seems to have gone to another battlefield. He didn't want to be so eye-catching, but there was no place to avoid it. When people cheered his name and overshadowed Pharaoh's name, he could also clearly feel a little displeasure with Lasis II around him. How can this emotion of Pharaoh be described as a child being snatched away from a beloved toy, or a drunkard seeing someone drinking better wine.
Of course, Lases II will not show this emotion. He walks at the forefront of the team, with a high golden crown, which is the majestic king on the mainland. Amon glanced at the crowds on both sides, and found that many girls waved their headscarves to him, fingered them on their lips, then waved wildly at him, shouting words that were passionate and even blushing.
Amon can only smile secretly in his heart, and inexplicably remembers Gilgamesh. After Gilgamesh beheaded Hombaba, he sent part of the snake teeth and snake tendons to the capital of King Baron, which was also the case when he entered the city. At that time, the Barron dignitaries came to greet with different attitudes, but the proud hero did not care at all, just nodded his head generously, and accepted the cheers of all people.
Amunco does not have the style of Gilgamesh, although today he also has the prestige that is no less than Gilgamesh. Perhaps the mentality is different. Gilgamesh is the hereditary city owner. Since childhood, he has been the pride of the city-state, and Amon has always been a magician. His mission is to unlock the secrets of the gods, so he is not used to being so public.
The once arrogant hero Gilgamesh has receded, but has achieved the glory of Amon today.
When Pharaoh reached the end of the long order and turned his hand in front of the majestic temple and raised his hand to signal to the people, the cheers reached their zenith, like a tsunami, and many people in the square were trembling with excitement. Are hoarse. Amon took another half step, quietly standing sideways, and the generals and priests were separated under the long rank.
This scene reminds Amon of Gore, who has now reached an unstoppable apex in the Kingdom of Hati. Whether it was Gilgamesh or the current heroes, Amun's status and glory seemed to be comparable, but he knew very well in his heart that the actual situation was very different.
Amon is a foreigner, his origins are somewhat unclear, his status has risen too fast, he is too young, he is too prestigious in the army, he is undoubtedly a suspect of meritorious vigor, from the emotion of Pharaoh just now. Can be seen. Whether it is King Hatti or King Barron, even if he is afraid, he can't treat Goret or Gilgamesh, but Amon's situation is different, not to mention that he has lost the power of self-preservation.
When the Ecuqumen followed Pharaoh into the temple, the crowd's cheers remained outside the door, and the majestic statue of Horus approached. Horus enshrined in the Promontory Temple is a human body, covered with wings of a giant eagle. Amon inexplicably remembered the cloud eagle that was slain by Enqidu.
He thought of another thing. Just now I felt that the power of gratitude and admiration of the peoples was the power of the gods? Perhaps it is also the meaning of the gods that the **** standing on the altar is certainly not Horus himself, but Amon can sense the pressure of being watched by the eyes, just like having a certain life, just like Horus is here.
What does this idol mean to gods? The answer may lie here. Is it necessary to be a god, to stand tall above the altar? Maybe or not, this is not the question Amon has to think about now, but he can't help thinking.
After the sacrifice ceremony to the gods was over, it was a grand dinner, as if returning to the scene of a banquet in the desert with Hatti ’s ministers, many people got up and toasted Pharaoh, then toasted and praised Amon Its merits. Pharaoh personally also said on Amun's shoulder: "Our general is the real first warrior on the mainland"
The day after the banquet, it was finally time to get things done. The various regiments need to return to the station to cultivate, the fallen soldiers need to be compassionate, and the soldiers who have achieved military merits need to be rewarded. The main event is agreed by the pharaoh and the group officials, and then handed over to the handling personnel to implement.
In fact, the recent two battles of the Ecu Empire did not win at all, and they fell into a desperate situation in the Battle of Hati, and then the peace talks were successful because of the unexpected reversal of the battle. As for the battle with the Uruk Army, they first retreated and then defended. Although the other side was hit hard, the loss of the Eju Army was even more severe. Finally, the Uruk Army retreated.
For the glory of the empire and the face of Pharaoh, of course, this can be said to be the victory of Egü, but these two battles did not account for any advantage, it can be said that the labor and the people ended up with nothing, and in vain consumed huge human and material resources, But Lasis II still has to reward the whole army with a big victory.
Since Pharaoh didn't feel distressed by himself, Amon naturally couldn't consider it for him, so that the heads of the various legions would directly submit the list of soldiers that needed key awards to Pharaoh. As for the An-Latin Army Corps led by him personally, the meritorious personnel are naturally one-on-one. Let the clerk make statistics in advance.
Of course, the nominations nominated by Amon deserve their honor. The squadron of the An-La legion finally got his wish to become a noble. Not only that, but because of Amon ’s deliberate recommendation, he also became a noble with a title and title, and hung a false in the property department of the city of Mengfeisi. title.
If you have a title, you have to have a land, but Pharaoh did n’t directly reward the territory, but only allowed Xi’o to buy it himself. Of course, Siou is desperate. He used to be unqualified to buy a piece of land near Mengfeisi city as his territory. Now it is fine.
Former commander John was demoted by He Lieshan for his reckless offense. Later, he was promoted to the An-La Army by Amon. He was seriously injured when he blocked the attack of the Uruk Army. He has now returned to Mengfeisi for rehabilitation. His credit is not small, and he has been promoted to the rank of tri-polar knight under Amen's recommendation, and his status has been equivalent to that of the city's military director.
At the same time, Amon also requested to resign from the command of the battlefield and the commander-in-chief of the An-Latin Army Corps, and formally surrender his military power. Pharaoh pretended to keep a few words, persuading Amon to still serve as the head of the An-La legion, and thanking him for training such an elite division for the empire. Amon's handover of military power is also a burden. Naturally, he resolutely resigned, so Pharaoh pushed the boat down the river, and Amon resigned.
Although the Uruk Regiment has retreated, the dispute over the Duque Plains is clearly not over now, and the defense of the Cape Town State is naturally more important than before. The Sett Legion was going to return to the station for reorganization. The original city-state garrison was obviously not enough. Rod Dick applied to Pharaoh to let the Ann-Lat Corps station the cape city.
Amon also made the same suggestion to Pharaoh and recommended John to succeed the regiment commander. Although John is not yet a great warrior, but his outstanding military merit is one of the direct organizers of this legion. It is certainly no problem to recommend him. Pharaoh agreed that the An-Latin Legion was stationed in the cape city-state, and did not reject John's appointment. He only deduced that General John's injury would be discussed.
It is not necessary to elaborate on all the rewards that the soldiers who followed Amon went on expedition. He chose 80 guards when he went on expedition, and there are still 36 people who survived this series of wars. These people were specially selected by Mei Danzuo, and their qualifications are very good. They are civilians with no background and no literacy. They were born and died following Amon, and now they have all become nobles.
The guard is a private army, and it is also a guard of honor for the travel of the imperial nobles, but their salaries are issued by the empire, and Amon himself can also subsidize his own pocket. After handing over the military power, it is naturally impossible to maintain a large number of private troops. Thirty-six people are divided into three teams, which happens to be the number of guards that meets the requirements of an imperial general. Amun is ready to take back his territory.
Amon now only hangs the title of a general, but his status is very high, surpassing the general city-state lords, which is equivalent to the princes of the city-state lords such as Mengfeisi and the high priest of the Temple of Isis, The status of the captain of the guard next to him is not low, and the title is equivalent to the general of the defense army of the general city-state. This is appointed by Ameneng personally.
But he did not continue to appoint May Danzuo. Mei Danzuo's identity is awkward. He is a baron noble and belongs to the nature of being hired. The army of Eju just recently fought against the Uruk Army from Baron. Amon didn't know that there was this battle before he left, otherwise he would not let Mei Danzuo directly serve as the captain of the guard.
In the battle with the Uruk Corps, he did not let May Danzuo lead the soldiers to charge, but only appeared as his own guard on the battlefield. After the war ended, he surrendered his military power, and Mei Danzuo naturally left the Egyptian army and received a large sum of money without other rewards.
It doesn't matter, Amon let May Danzuo temporarily return to the newly acquired territory with the personal guards. The candidates for the captain of the guards are empty. Leave them for later.
Gossip less, after all the messy matters have been negotiated in the Chamber of the Pharaoh ’s Palace, Pharaoh is preparing to let the ministers resign, but Amon stands up, leaves the seat and comes to the center of the hall, kneeling down to Pharaoh Salute: "Dear Your Majesty, Amon has one more thing to ask you."
Pharaoh stunned, and then smiled: "General, please sit down and say anything, just open your mouth."
Amon did n’t stand up, and said slowly: "You said in person after the meeting with King Hatti, if I want any rewards, I will open my mouth after I return to Egu, now I want to Your Majesty made the request. "
This is a blatant reward in front of the group of ministers. Pharaoh has already rewarded Amon, and now he will continue to ask for rewards, and in the face of the group of ministers, he will catch the words that Pharaoh once said. Suspected. However, with the credit he made, he only retired with a false title. It is also normal to reward him after giving up his military power. No matter what kind of request is made, Pharaoh is not easy to refuse.
Lasis II was stunned for a moment, and he laughed heartily: "Amon, you can naturally ask for any rewards, let's say, as long as I can get it out"
Amon: "Thank you, Your Majesty, you have given me enough rewards, and I do n’t want to make more demands. It ’s just that my people, the descendants of the former miners in Duque Town, are still serving hard labor in Helie Mountain. I hope you release them and give them freedom. I fight for the empire for your glory and to save my people. "
Pharaoh frowned: "Is this the case? Why don't I know"
I do n’t know if Pharaoh really did n’t know or was confused. Amon took out a volume of paper and held it over his head: "Maybe Your Majesty ca n’t remember such little things, but it is very important to me. You personally ordered them The captivity served in He Lieshan, this is the official record. "
An inner attendant took the document to Pharaoh, and Lasis II opened it and glanced, oh, he said, "I remembered that this is the case. General Amon, your request , I ca n’t refuse it. But do you remember the peace agreement we signed with the Kingdom of Hati? To return the other party ’s escaped slaves, you are also a participant in the peace treaty. I leave them in Helieshan, which is also a kind of protection , Do you want to return them to the Kingdom of Hati to continue? "
Amon replied indifferently: "Your Majesty does not have to return them to the Kingdom of Hati at all, because their identity from Hati is not a slave, but a refugee who has lost his homeland and nowhere to live. It is generous and Benevolence Your Majesty took them in, and I thank you on behalf of the people ”
Amon meant a little to force Pharaoh, and Pharaoh ’s face was not too good-looking. The Minister of the Interior of the empire hurriedly interjected: "General Amon does n’t know, they are now slaves of Pharaoh. Although you stand for the Empire Great work has been done, but they are just your fellow race, and they cannot be given freedom because of your merits. "
Amon thought for a while and said, "That's easy, I ask His Majesty to give me these slaves as rewards."
Pharaoh looked at Amon and finally smiled again: "Of course it's okay, just dozens of slaves. If I were stingy with rewards, how can I convince the Ayurveda? Amon, your people are all now Already your slave, you can bring them back to your territory as much as possible. "
When I spoke just now, the generals in the hall heard that Pharaoh had rejected Amon ’s initial request, and they all showed their indignation, all of which meant to speak out. Now I heard Pharaoh agree to give these slaves rewards to Amon. There is no sound. With Amon ’s credit, it ’s just that he needs dozens of slaves and is still his own race, which is a big deal.
Amon salutes: "Thank you His Majesty's gifts"
Pharaoh probably felt embarrassed himself, and asked again: "Amon, what else do you want? Do you want a treasure or a beauty, or more slaves and territories?" /
Amon smiled: "Since Your Majesty said so, I really have a request, I hope you will give me another territory."
I did n’t expect Amon to really climb the pole. Pharaoh ’s words were not easy to get back. I had to ask again: "General, you already have a large territory. Where do you like it?"
Amon ’s request is indeed a bit excessive. The generals looked at him curiously, and they did n’t know which place the general was looking at. If it is a land of masters, I am afraid it will be dealt with a bit. Difficulty. I saw that Amon pulled out a sheepskin roll from his arms without hurrying, and held it over his head and said: "I have prepared the map, please look over."
Pharaoh picked up the sheepskin roll from Naicheng and immediately surprised: "The Duque Plain is not in the territory of the École Empire." Ameng Cheng came up with a map of Duque Plain. In the area around the original Duque, he drew An irregular circle with a radius of two or three hundred miles is the most fertile ground for living and building a city-state after examining the terrain.
Amon nodded and said: "Yes, I ca n’t be greedy with military merits, and naturally I ca n’t ask for more territory in the empire. But according to the peace agreement between Ecu and Hati, explorers in both countries can enter there. Looking for wealth and reclaiming wilderness. I just asked His Majesty to give me nominally, as to whether I can reclaim it as a territory, all in myself. "
It turned out that all the officials showed relief expressions. Pharaoh refused this request for no reason. For him, it was a kind of benefit. He gave Amon a territory that was not in the territory of Egypt, and he needed Amen to reclaim it himself. Pharaoh looked at Amon thoughtfully and nodded, "Well, it seems that you have already prepared to let the Ministry of the Interior issue a document to give you this land in the name of territory, but you need to occupy and reclaim it yourself . "
Amon thanked again, and then stood up and returned to his seat. He had already prepared two things before he could do what he is today, and relying on military merit in front of the group of ministers, Pharaoh had to nod.
Although only a nominal enclosure was obtained, it was very important to Amun. Pharaoh refused to remove the slaves of the miners, and Amon asked Pharaoh to give them to him. This was only the first step. Although Amon can treat those slaves in the territory, the slaves are slaves after all, and Amon has no right to give them freedom. Once these have fled the country, according to the agreement between Ecu and Hati, they will still be returned.
Although the Pharaoh Expedition did not take advantage of it, he still did not give up on Duque Plains and wanted to hold this group of miners in his hands. The descendants of Duque Town used to be the legal owner of the land, but now they are the slaves of Pharaoh. As long as Pharaoh gets the title deed, the master of the slave will become the owner of the land.
Pharaoh asked about the whereabouts of the title deeds before he started the war, but Moses and others only said that the title deeds had disappeared in the floods along with Duque. The existence of title deeds is just a guise, Pharaoh still launched an expeditionary battle.
These miners have a more important role. They not only mastered the magical skills, they are much more efficient than ordinary magicians, but they are also familiar with the distribution of mineral veins in the town of Duque How can we easily get rid of the living and huge wealth
Not to mention the new situation now, their stay in the Egyptian empire will be a means to contain Amun. Amun has a high prestige among the residents of Egypt, especially the army, so such a person cannot help but fear Pharaoh. If he was faithful to serve everything for the Egyptian Empire, it would be better to say, but Amunro went to any other country on the mainland, which was a blow to the Egyptian Empire. Pharaoh naturally did not want Amon to bring his people back to his homeland. Such people must be used by the Egyptians. It is another matter to use them.
Pharaoh gave Amun the slave, but it was nothing. They were the slaves of the Egyptian Empire, and their detention on Amon ’s territory was not only a favor but also a better restraint.
However, Amon had already prepared for this trick, and asked Pharaoh for an unbelievable territory, and in this case, it was impossible for Lassis II to not agree to it
As the lord of the fiefdom, Amon can naturally send his own slaves to reclaim. These two requests seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they happen to allow Moses and others to escape from the **** of Egü and return to their hometown. As for their status after returning to Duque Plains, it was no longer their turn to take care of Pharaoh.
Today's imperial generals are no longer as ignorant as they were when they first walked out of Duque. Amon sat in the position of commander in chief of the battlefield, but he did deal with all kinds of characters. This trick of giving the territory was inspired by a certain experience a long time ago. Princess Xiao Qian of the Kingdom of Barron gave Yousil, the leader of the Giant United Tribe, a territory, but was not in the Kingdom of Barron.
Amon learned this from Princess Xiaoqian, but he made the request on his own initiative. He has always been a simple child. He never played with others. He played a big game for the first time in the official court, and his opponent was Pharaoh Egu.
Pharaoh immediately responded to Amon's intentions, but there was nothing to do at this moment. It was a great credit to King Hatti to rescue the army crisis, promote the peace between the two countries, and command the large group to repel the Uruk Army and call on the gods to protect the territory of Eju. There is no way to refuse. RV
