Chapter 123

But instead of being punished, the city Lord was rewarded by the Pharaoh. Praise should also be given, because the main responsibility for the Seth army's defeat lies with the Pharaoh himself, who claims to have won the war, naturally praises the generals under his command. On the other hand, rod Dick returned to the city-state as soon as possible and collected the remnant soldiers in the south of the desert, which not only reduced the loss to the greatest extent, but also organized the backup quickly and took the position in the promontory city-state to ensure the stability of the rear.

Rod Dick also made great contributions to the smooth navigation of the army's logistics fleet.

When the army returned to Egypt, rod Dick led the reorganized army of Seth to the border line to meet them. At the same time, he brought enough consolation materials so that the French could reward the soldiers. This arrangement satisfied everyone. After suffering for so many days in the desert, the Pharaoh entered the palace prepared by the city-state for a few days' rest. After summing up the war, he returned to the capital, where the legions were sent back to their original places.

Rod Dick met all the legions at the border pass until all the legions returned safely. When seeing Amun goodbye, the city Lord was filled with emotion. He took Amun's hand and said, "brave warrior, great commander, I don't know how to express my admiration for you! When you came to the promontory city to return Nero's remains in public, I never dreamed that you would do what you are today. There have been a lot of things. I'm sorry for you in terms of selfishness... "

Amun interrupted him and said, "Lord, why do you say that? At the beginning, I was a foreign hunter of unknown origin. You gave me courtesy and protection, and notarized Lord Nero's will, so that I can get such precious relics, and there is no trace of debt. You have never been sorry for me. It's even because you went to Duke that you made me who I am today, and I'm grateful. "

They walked into the border of Egypt hand in hand. At this time, Amun was able to walk side by side with rod Dick, which was unthinkable a few years ago. When rod Dick arrived at Duke, he was so high that he could hardly reach the rank of Duke. He could only look up to him. Amun never looked up to him, but he never looked down on him, either in the past or in the present.

They were supposed to be the last to enter the promontory city-state, where a grand ceremony to celebrate victory was prepared, but the ceremony was suddenly postponed. Having just withdrawn from the battlefield, the anera Legion received an urgent order and turned to be the vanguard to resist the Uruk army which suddenly fell on the border of Egypt.

Gilgamesh and enqi even launched an attack on the promontory city-state at this time!

Gilgamesh's choice of the time is very life-threatening. The eju army has just returned from a long-distance battle, and the main army has suffered heavy casualties and will be exhausted. There is no time to rest. More importantly, in addition to the Angora army, the Horus and Isis legions, which were defeated in the desert and were besieged for a long time, have lost their vigor, so it is difficult to fight a hard battle again in a short time.

After all, the army is made up of people. People's physical strength and energy are limited. After several months of struggling in the desert, they are always in a highly tense state. When they return to eju, their fighting capacity is naturally lax, and it is difficult to gather together in a short time. The two regiments that had arrived at the promontory city-state in advance had been repatriated in batches, leaving only the elite guards and senior generals, and the rest of the soldiers were on their way back to their stations. The Uruk army suddenly killed, more or less by surprise.

Fortunately, because Amun held the king to facilitate the peace talks between the two countries, the Pharaonic army has withdrawn. Otherwise, the time for the Uruk army to attack was precisely the time when the Pharaonic army was under siege in the north of the desert. Gilgamesh could take advantage of the opportunity to pick up a bargain, which could not be resisted by half of the Seth army that rod Dick had collected.

The peace talks between the two countries were an accident. Gilgamesh did not expect that he sent an envoy to gore, commander-in-chief of the battle field of Hattie, a letter when he sent troops. In the letter, he strongly condemned the aggression of ejufala lahasis II, and said that the kingdom of balun and the city-state of Uruk were willing to help hathi defeat the brutal enemy. He would attack the promontory city-state, cut off the rear route of the eju expeditionary army, occupy their logistics base, and cooperate with the Kingdom of hathi to wipe out the Pharaonic army in the desert.

If the war situation really develops like this, all the Egyptians, including the Angora army, will die, and the Amra, Horus, Isis and Seth armies will all face the fate of annihilation. Even if the other legions in Egypt came to rescue, it would be too late. It was nothing more than a border defense war with the Uruk army after the front line was defeated.

Unfortunately, the situation has changed too fast. The messenger sent by Gilgamesh has just started, and eju and hathi have completed the peace talks and withdrawn their troops. By the time the Uruk army entered the southern part of the Syrian desert, the Pharaoh had led the main force back to the promontory city-state. Gilgamesh failed to take advantage of the virtual raid plan, but he did not change the March plan, still led the army to the border.

Gore received a letter from Gilgamesh on the way out. He could only smile and sigh. At that time, GE Lieh had already relinquished the position of commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the battlefield and no longer held the army. Gilgamesh's letter came late, and gore just handed it over to the king. Hathi and eju have signed a peace treaty and become an alliance. The Pharaonic army has withdrawn to eju. Of course, Lucier will not cooperate with the military action of the kingdom of balun.And on the other hand, the kingdom of Baron may not mean well! As the Uruk army crossed the Euphrates River and moved westward, they killed humbaba at enqidu, another ferry in the middle reaches of the Euphrates River. The Kish legion, another city-state corps of the kingdom of Baron, was assembled. The elite army of Marduk from the capital of Baron was also ready to leave at the ferry. It is the closest position of the kingdom of balun to the DUK plain. As long as you cross the Euphrates River and march along the edge of the mountains, 300 miles away is the East Bank of the inland lake.

The purpose of the two legions to gather there is already obvious, that is, to take advantage of the defeat of Hattie and eju, and to intervene in the battle of DUK plain. The words are also very good to hear, is to help the kingdom of hathi against a strong enemy. Naturally, it is not in vain to send out a large army to help. After the event, the khati Kingdom asked to express "thanks", so the target is naturally the DUK plain.

Lucille asked the prime minister to write a letter in reply, politely rejecting Gilgamesh's "good intentions", stating that hathi and eju had signed a peace agreement and formed an alliance to resist foreign enemies. He did not want the Baron Kingdom and Gilgamesh to spare no effort.

At the same time, Lucille sent people to fly shuttle to the promontory city-state to send an urgent report, informing the king of the military developments of the kingdom of Baron. Of course, Hattie would not send troops across the desert to block the Uruk army. This powerful army led by Gilgamesh and enqidu was afraid on the mainland. But Lucille was also very talkative. In his letter, he mentioned the news that the two legions of the kingdom of Baron had assembled in Kish city-state. He said that they should pay more attention to defense in the north of the desert and echo with eju in the south of the desert. In fact, he meant that they should take charge of their own affairs.

The march speed of the Uruk army was too fast, and because of the outbreak of the war, there were no caravans in the desert, and the information along the way was tightly blocked. It was only the day before receiving Lucille's urgent report that the Pharaon knew about Gilgamesh's situation. Of course, he was shocked. Fortunately, the generals were at their side, and after overnight discussions, they issued several emergency orders -

the Isis and Horus regiments, which were being repatriated in batches, assembled in an emergency. The wounded and wounded returned to the camp for recuperation according to the original plan, and the rest of the combat personnel were reorganized. The Gabriel army, which had been sent to the promontory city-state for reinforcement, was also ready to return. At the moment, they hastened to the front line.

These arrangements take more or less time, and the priority is to block the first wave of the Uruk attack on the front line. At the suggestion of the ministers around him, the Pharaoh ordered the Angora army to stay at the border to meet the enemy, and appointed Amun as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield. Rod Dick, who stayed at the border pass, became the chief Quartermaster.

Amun was promoted and became the commander-in-chief of the battlefield from the commander-in-chief. He was not only in charge of the Anla Legion he had originally led, but also the remnants of the Seth army assembled in rod Dick's hands. After the two insufficient Isis and Horus regiments were reorganized and sent to the front, Amun would also be under unified command.

If we don't count the non combat logistics personnel, there are still more than 4000 people who can join in the battle after the return of the battle. There are only more than 2000 people in the Saite army. The Isis army and the Horus army are reorganized and more than 5000 people can be put into the fight. Amun will command more than 13000 soldiers and hundreds of deities.

In the rear promontory city-state, there were more than 100000 military personnel supporting the war, and civilian men transporting supplies and building fortifications. This is almost equivalent to the position of Gore in the last war. Amon was pushed to the top of the storm by surprise.

Is this how Amun was valued by the Pharaohs and the Egyptians? In fact, this is not the case. This is a job that will only have no merit, or even a job that is doomed. It is the same for anyone who has been changed. Although Amun was promoted, he would also be a black sheep, because the battle in the front line had to be defeated.

The city-state of Uruk is the most powerful city-state besides the royal capital in the kingdom of Baron, and the Uruk Legion is recognized as the most powerful army on the mainland. Several years ago, Gilgamesh had been recruiting troops to train and expand the army secretly. This time, the main force of the Northern Kingdom covered him. He did not worry about his future. So he went all out to attack. There were 8000 well-trained elite soldiers and nearly 100 clerics.

Even if Amun commanded the exhausted division, the whole army would not be able to fight. Moreover, the Horus and Isis legions had not yet been reorganized and set out for the front line, and it was even more impossible for the present-day Anwar and the remnants of the Seth army to stop them.

Legend has it that enqi, the first warrior on the mainland, has the courage of thousands of people who can take the rank of commander in chief among the thousands of troops. Whether the legend is true or not, enqi killed Hun Baba, but it is certain that Amun should think more about his own life.

Before that, there was a very intriguing episode. After the Pharaoh arrived at the palaces in the promontory City, Amun was still on the way back with the army of Allah. The king summoned all his ministers to discuss and gave an order to let Amun hand over the post of commander of the army and return with him to the capital of eju. There will be more important appointment and rich rewards.

This decision can not be said to be unreasonable. The Anla army is a newly established miscellaneous army. Amun created this elite division by himself. He has won brilliant victory in the great battle. He himself has also made incredible contributions, and his prestige in the army is at the height of the sun. If Amun remains in the position of commander of the army, if there is any rebellion, others, including the Pharaoh, will not be able to command the army.After all, Amun is a foreigner, and his foundation is still shallow. It is impossible for him to be free from suspicion. There is no need to say more about the reasons why people suspect him. Therefore, both the Pharaon and his ministers thought that Amun should be given a higher position and a large amount of wealth, but he was not suitable to be in charge of this army.

As soon as the envoys sent by the Pharaon set out to issue orders at the border, the news came that the Uruk army was invading in a large scale. Things changed dramatically, and at an emergency meeting held in the palace, the attitude of the ministers who had suggested that the Pharaoh should be removed from the position of commander of Amun's army was reversed. They all suggested that the Pharaoh take back the order immediately and promote Amun as commander-in-chief of the battlefield, so Amun was promoted.

This proposal can't be said wrong. Through the war just experienced, Amun is really good at fighting, and now his reputation is growing, and he is also "expected by the public"

the Pharaon urgently sent a great magician to control the shuttle to catch up with the emissary who was halfway there, and withdrew from the original order and replaced the latest appointment.

As the commander of the army, Amun is at the back of the army, and the vanguard of the army has reached the middle of the main city of the Cape and the border. Amun did not receive the first order from the Pharaoh, but John met the messenger on the way.

When John heard the news, he was so angry that he pulled out his sword and almost wanted to chop people. No one knows more than John what kind of hard work Amun has put into building the Angora army. He was released from military power just after winning the victory.

The messenger did not dare to provoke the general, but could only explain with a smile that the intention of the pharaoh was to promote Amun to a higher and more important position. "Fart!" cried John! Amun is a warrior. Is there a better position than the head of the imperial army? Even if he is to be appointed to another post, he can also be the commander of the army at the same time! So the young general can't be the Minister of the Empire. Do you want him to be the high priest

John was so angry and eloquent that he was surrounded by a murderous army. The emissary was afraid to say more. He could only explain that he was only a messenger, which was the decision of the Pharaoh and his ministers. Just at this time, Julian controls the shuttle and arrives with the latest orders. Amun is not only the commander in chief of the an LA corps, but also the commander-in-chief of the battlefield.

John's breath was smooth. According to this order, he immediately led the vanguard troops back to the border to join Amun.

……

Amun received the latest appointment of the Pharaoh on the way back to the army. The messenger was Julian, who had a grudge against him. Julian is also the chief theocrat of the Seth army and will stay at the front line and follow Amun's command. I don't know what mood this great divine master is at the moment. Will he wait to see Amun's defeat from a selfish point of view? But in the battlefield, both honor and disgrace. If the front line is defeated, Julian, as the commander of the Seth army, will not have a good result.

Seeing the great magician who once sent people thousands of miles to kill him, Amun didn't say much nonsense. He didn't mention a word of the past. First, he comforted a few words on business, and then gathered the generals around him to discuss the battle plan.

The troops that can be assembled at the border today are the majority of the Angora army and the remnant of the Seth army. In addition to the important generals of the two legions, Aristotle, rod Dick's aide, participated in the discussion. Amun heard that Aristotle was also in the army and invited him to attend the meeting. But Aristotle did not speak at the meeting on the pretext that he was not proficient in military affairs.

The adults took out maps and sand tables and studied them for a long time. They agreed that they could not resist the attack of the Uruk army.

George's great magician sighed: "in today's war situation, even if Horus and Isis regiments are reorganized and arrive at the border, it is difficult for us to resist the Uruk army head on."

"Aren't those two legions the most elite fighting forces in the Empire?" John asked

"It depends on who the opponent is and what the situation is now," George said? If it was Horus and Isis, who had just set out from the border of eju a few months ago, of course, they would not be afraid to fight the Uruk army, but now... "

Julian frowned: "if you want to be even, you have to wait until the reinforcements of the Gabriel regiment come to the front and join the army. But far water can't save the near fire, and the Uruk army's march is too fast. I'm just wondering, what's their purpose? It is impossible for them to defeat the Egyptians in the end. Why should they work hard to attack from afar? "

Amun pointed to the sand table and said: "the purpose of the Uruk army can be speculated. They crossed the desert from east to west, and did not expect to defeat the whole eju empire. They only needed to occupy the eastern part of the promontory city-state with water, grass and land, and establish strategic fortresses to control the whole territory of Syria desert. Don't forget that, in addition to the Egyptians, the neighboring countries are among the strongest.

Amun used his finger to draw a line along the narrowest part of the land on the sand table, marking out two fifths of the land of the promontory city-state, suggesting that this was the target of the Uruk army.
