Chapter 137

Amun finally led the front-line generals back to the main city of the promontory City, and once again met with ejufala laolashis II. Rod Dick, the head of the promontory city-state, has returned half a month in advance to prepare for a grand celebration. In the ceremony, the French relatives sacrificed themselves and the imperial high priest liquid served as the master of ceremonies. However, Amun, the general of the Empire, enjoyed the highest honor and was only half a step behind. He almost sacrificed to Horus side by side with the Pharaoh.

The ceremony was held in the city-state temple, but its real climax was when the honor guards crossed the square to receive the cheers of the people. Amun, wearing shining armor and a long sword, walked on the side of the Pharaon. This was not a combat costume, but a dress for the general to attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to gods. Wearing the sword was a special gift of the Pharaoh.

It was the second time Amun had walked here and heard the cheers of the people. The last time he was a relic of Nero, the great God and wise City Lord rod Dick were praised. This time the story changed the protagonist, and the people praised the gods, the Pharaoh and Amun.

Amun is more prominent than gods and Pharaons. He is a young and handsome Imperial General in military uniform. He has won many miracles. He is an idol in men's eyes and a dream in women's dreams. Countless eyes focused on him, Amun heard people cheering his name, that kind of from the heart of reverence and worship actually combined into a force, when he unfolded that strange ability, can clearly feel!

Amun, who had lost his power, felt a strange power in this situation, but he did not know what use it was. It was not the magic power of a magician or the force of a soldier, which contained too many mysterious unknowns. He also felt a variety of thoughts between the gates of the underworld, that is the world's prayer to the underworld queen, which also contains such power?

Anuna's Apocalypse is the divine realm of erebe. Is the mystery of the so-called divine realm also lies in this? Is that the power that the gods know how to use?

Countless people's thoughts reflect into Amun's soul, and countless eyes are also projected on him. Amun has an inexplicable sense of oppression, and even seems to go to another battlefield. He didn't want to be so conspicuous, but there was nowhere to avoid. When people cheered his name over the name of the Pharaoh, he could also clearly feel a trace of displeasure on his side. How can you describe the feeling of the Pharaoh? It's like a child being robbed of his favorite toy, or a drunkard seeing someone else drinking better wine.

Of course, he would not show this emotion. He walked at the front of the line, with a high golden crown, and was the most majestic king of the mainland. Amun glanced at the crowd on both sides and found that many girls waved their headscarves at him, pointed their fingers on the cherry lips, and then waved them to him crazily, shouting words that were passionate and unrestrained, even making people blush and heartbeat.

Amun could only smile bitterly in his heart and thought of Gilgamesh again. After kilgamesh killed hunbaba, he sent some snake teeth and tendons to the capital of Baron, which was also the scene when he entered the city. At that time, Baron dignitaries came to greet them with different mentality, but the arrogant hero did not care at all, so he nodded and waved his hands, and accepted the cheers of the people.

Amun does not have the style of Gilgamesh, although today he has the same prestige as Gilgamesh. Perhaps it is a different mentality. Gilgamesh is a hereditary City Lord, and he has been the pride of the city since he was a child. Amun has always been a magician, and his mission is to unlock the secrets of the gods. Therefore, he is not used to such publicity.

Gilgamesh, the once proud hero, has retreated, but has achieved Amun's present glory.

When the Pharaoh came to the end of the long steps, turned around in front of the towering temple door and raised his hand to the people, the cheering reached its peak, like a tsunami. Many people in the square trembled with excitement, and their voices were hoarse. Amun stepped back half a step further and stood quietly on his side, while the generals and priests were separated under the high rank.

This scene also reminds Amun of Gore, who has now reached a peak in the kingdom of hathi. No matter once Gilgamesh or now Gore, Amun's status and glory seem to be comparable with it, but he himself is very clear that the actual situation is very different.

Amun is a foreigner. His origin is not clear. His position is rising too fast. He is too young. He has too much prestige in the army. There is no doubt that Amun has made great achievements. We can see from the mood of the Pharaoh just now. Neither King Hattie nor King Baron could have done anything to gore or Gilgamesh, even if he was afraid. However, Amun was in a different situation, and now he has lost the power of self-protection.

When the Egyptians followed the Pharaoh into the temple, the cheers of the crowd remained outside the door, and the solemn statue of Horus came to face. Horus, worshipped in the promontory temple, is a human body with the wings of a giant eagle. Amun, inexplicably, remembers the cloud eagle that was cut off by the sword of enqidu.

He thought of one thing. Did he feel the power of the gratitude and admiration of the people just now? Is it the power of the gods? Maybe it's also the meaning of the divine realm! Of course, the statue standing on the altar is not Horus himself, but Amun can feel the pressure of being watched by the eyes. He seems to have some kind of life, just like Horus is here.

What is the meaning of the statue to the gods? That may be the answer. Is it necessary to be a God, standing high on the altar? Maybe, maybe not. This is not what Amun wants to think about now, but he can't help thinking about it.After the sacrifice to the gods, there was a grand dinner. It seems to be back to the scene of meeting with the khati ministers in the desert. Many people got up to toast the Pharaoh, then toasted Amun and praised his achievements. The Pharaoh patted Amun on the shoulder and said, "our general is the real first warrior of the mainland."

The day after the dinner, it was time to get down to business. The regiments need to return to their stations for recuperation, the soldiers who died in battle need to be compensated, and the officers and soldiers who have made great achievements in the war need to be rewarded. The major events are decided by the Pharaoh and his ministers, and then handed over to the administrative personnel for implementation.

In fact, in the recent two battles, the eju Empire did not win at all. It was not good to fight in hathi, and then the peace talks were successful because of the unexpected reversal of the war situation. As for the battle with the Uruk army, it was retreating first and then defending. Although the enemy was severely damaged, the eju army suffered more losses. Finally, the Uruk army withdrew on its own initiative.

For the glory of the Empire and the face of the Pharaon, it can be said that this was the victory of eju. However, these two battles did not take any advantage. It can be said that the two wars cost nothing, and in vain consumed huge human and material resources and financial resources. However, LASIS II still had to reward the whole army according to the great victory.

Since the Pharaon himself did not care about him, Amun naturally did not need to consider for him. He asked the commanders of the army to directly submit the list of officers and men who needed to be awarded key awards to the Pharaoh, and the rest of the ordinary rewards and pensions were handed over to the eju military headquarters. As for the Anla army led by him, the meritorious personnel are naturally not left behind, and they have been counted by the clerk for a long time.

Of course, Amun's nominations are worthy of their names. Theo, the Quartermaster of the an LA legion, finally became a nobleman. Moreover, due to Amun's special recommendation, he became a noble with a title and a false title in the Property Department of the city of Memphis.

If there is a title, there must be a fiefdom, but the Pharaoh did not directly reward the territory, but allowed Theo to buy it at his own expense. Theo, of course, would not have been able to buy a piece of land near Memphis as his territory before, but now he can.

John, the former commander of the front line, was demoted to he Lieshan for his reckless crimes. Later, he was promoted to an'an-la army by Amun. He was seriously injured when blocking the attack of the Uruk army. He has now returned to mengfeisi city to recuperate. He also contributed a lot. He was promoted to three ranks on the recommendation of Amun, and his status was equivalent to that of the city-state's military director.

Amun also asked to resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the battlefield and the commander of the an LA corps and formally surrender his military power. The Pharaon pretended to retain a few words, advised Amun to remain the commander of the army of Anla and thank him for training such an elite division for the Empire. Amun's surrender of military power is also a burden. Naturally, Amun is determined to resign. So the Pharaoh pushed the boat along the river, and Amun resigned with honor.

Although the Uruk army has retreated, the dispute in the DUK plain is obviously not over, and the defense of the promontory city-state is naturally more important than before. It was obvious that the original city-state garrison was not enough for the Seth Legion to return to the Garrison for reorganization. Rod Dick applied to the Pharaoh to let the an-la Army garrison the promontory city-state.

Amun also made the same suggestion to the Pharaoh, and elected John as the commander of the army. Although John is not a samurai yet, he has outstanding military achievements and is one of the direct founders of this army. Of course, it is no problem to recommend him. The Pharaon agreed to the garrison of the Angora army on the promontory City, and did not veto John's appointment. He only said that he would discuss it until General John's injury was healed.

It is not necessary to describe in detail what rewards Amun's officers and soldiers got in the war. He chose 80 personal guards when he went out to fight. After a series of wars, 36 survived. These people were specially selected by medanzo, with very good qualifications. They were civilians with no background and no literacy. They followed Amun through life and death, and now they are all nobles.

The personal guards belong to the nature of private army, and they are also the guards of honor for the great nobles of the Empire. However, their salaries are paid by the Empire, and Amun himself can also pay for them out of his own pocket. After the surrender of military power, it is impossible to maintain a large number of private troops. Thirty six people are divided into three teams, which are exactly the number of Pro guards required by an imperial general. Amun is ready to take back his territory.

Now Amun only holds the false title of a general, but his position is very high, surpassing the general city-state Lord, and is equivalent to the city Lord of mengfeisi and the high priest of Isis temple. Therefore, the position of the leader of the bodyguard around him is not low, and the rank is equivalent to that of the garrison commander of a city-state, which Amun can appoint himself.

Danzo was appointed, but he did not. Medanzo's identity is relatively embarrassing, he is a baron aristocrat, belonging to the nature of employment, and the eju army just fought with the Uruk army from Baren some time ago. Amun didn't know that there was another battle before he went out to battle, otherwise he would not directly let madanzo be the captain of the pro guard team.

In the war with the Uruk army, he did not let medanzo lead the soldiers to charge, but appeared on the battlefield as his own guard. After the end of the war, he surrendered his military power, and medanzo naturally left the eju army, and received a large sum of money, but no other reward.

It doesn't matter. Amun asked medanzo to return to his new territory with his personal guard for the time being. If the leader of the guard is empty, he will leave it for later.

In the chamber of the palace of the Pharaoh, after all the disorderly affairs were discussed, the king was preparing to let his ministers go. Amun stood up, left his seat and came to the center of the hall. He knelt down to the king and said, "Your Majesty, Amun has one more thing to ask you."The Pharaon was stunned, and then he said with a smile, "please sit down and say it. If you have any request, please open your mouth."

However, Amun did not stand up and said slowly, "you said yourself after your meeting with King Hattie that if I want any reward, I will ask your majesty if I want any reward."

This is an open reward in front of the officials. The Pharaoh has already rewarded Amun heavily, and now he still wants to continue to ask for reward. In front of the officials, he grabs what the king once said. It is inevitable that the palace will be forced. However, it was normal for him to ask for a reward after the surrender of military power. No matter what kind of request he put forward, it was difficult for the Pharaoh to refuse.

Rasses II was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a hearty smile, "Amun, you can ask for any reward. Just say it, as long as I can get it!"

Amun: Thank you for your grace. You have given me enough. I don't want to ask for more. But my people, the descendants of the miners in Duke Town, are still working hard in Mount Heliang. I hope you will release them and give them freedom. I fight for the Empire for your glory and to save my people. "

The Pharaon frowned: "is there such a thing? I don't know! "

I do not know whether the Pharaoh really did not know or pretended to be confused. Amun took out a volume of documents and held it high above his head: "perhaps your majesty can't remember such a small matter, but it is very important to me. You personally ordered them to be imprisoned in he Lieshan for service. This is an official record. "

When an internal servant took the document to the Pharaoh, he opened it and said, "I remember, it's like this. General Amun, I can't refuse your request. But do you remember the peace agreement we signed with the kingdom of hathi? You are also a witness of the peace to return the runaway slaves of the other party. It is also a kind of protection for me to leave them in Mt. Horeb. Shall I return them to the kingdom of hathi? "

Amun said quietly, "Your Majesty does not have to return them to the kingdom of hathi, because they were not slaves when they left Hattie, but refugees who lost their homes and had no place to live. They were generous and kind. On behalf of the people, I would like to express my gratitude for the generosity and kindness of your majesty who took them in."

Amun meant to force the Pharaon, but the Pharaon's face was not very good-looking. The interior minister of the nearby Empire quickly interposed: "Amun general has no idea, they are now the slaves of the Pharaoh. Although you have made great contributions to the Empire, they are just your kindred, and you can't give them freedom because of your merits. "

Amun thought for a moment and said, "that's easy. I ask your majesty to reward me with these slaves."

The Pharaon looked at Amun and finally laughed again: "of course, it's just dozens of slaves. If I'm even stingy with these rewards, how can I convince the soldiers of eju? Amun, your people are now your slaves. You can bring them back to your own territory. "

Just now, when the generals in the hall heard that the Pharaoh had rejected Amun's original request, they all showed their indignation and had the intention of opening their mouths to help him. Now when they heard that the Pharaoh agreed to reward Amun with these slaves, they did not speak up. The credit of Amon is only to ask for dozens of slaves, and he is also his own people. What a big thing.

Amen saluted and said, "thank you for your grace."

The Pharaon probably felt embarrassed, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Amun, what else do you want? You can ask whether you want treasure or beauty, or more slaves and territories. "

Amun laughed: "since your majesty said so, I really have a request. I hope you will give me another piece of territory."

I didn't expect Amun would climb along the pole. The Pharaonic words had already been exported and it was difficult to take them back. So he asked again, "general, you have a large territory. What do you like?"

Amun's request is indeed too much. All the generals looked at him curiously and didn't know which place the general looked at. If it was a place with a master, it would be difficult to deal with it. Amun took out another scroll from his arms, held his head high and said, "I have prepared the map. Please have a look at it."

The king picked up the parchment presented by his Chamberlain and said in surprise, "DUK plain! This is not in the territory of the Egyptians! " Amun presented a map of the DUK plain. In the area of the original Duke Town, he drew an irregular circle of two or three hundred Li, which was the most suitable fertile land for living and establishing a city-state after investigating the terrain.

Amun nodded and said, "yes, I can't be greedy with military merit, and naturally I can't ask for more territory in the Empire. But according to the peace treaty between eju and hathi, explorers from both countries can enter there to seek wealth and reclaim the wilderness. I only ask your majesty to grant it to me in name. As for whether I can reclaim it into territory, it is up to me. "

I see! All the ministers showed a look of relief. This request was rejected by the Pharaoh without any reason. For him, Amun was given a piece of territory that was not in the territory of Egypt, and Amun needed to cultivate it himself. The Pharaoh looked at Amun and nodded thoughtfully: "well, it seems that you have been prepared for it! In the name of occupying the land, you need to reclaim the landAmun thanks again, and then he gets up and goes back to his seat. He had already prepared two things, to do today's things, and relying on military merit in front of the officials, so that the Pharaoh had to nod.

Although he only got a nominal fiefdom, it was of great significance to Amun. The Pharaoh refused to remove the status of the miners' slaves, while Amun asked the Pharaoh to give them to himself. This is only the first step. Although Amun could treat the slaves well in the territory, the slaves were slaves after all, and Amun had no right to give them freedom. Once these people have fled the border, they will still be sent back according to the agreement between eju and Hati.

Although the Pharaonic expedition did not take advantage of it, he did not give up on the DUK plain and wanted to hold these miners in his hands. DUK's descendants used to be the legal owners of the land, but now they are the slaves of the Pharaoh. As long as the Pharaoh gets the land title, the master of the slave will become the master of the land.

Before the war, the Pharaoh inquired about the whereabouts of the title deed, but Moses and others only said that the title deed had disappeared in the flood along with the town of Duke. Whether the title deed was just a cover, the Pharaon still launched an expedition.

This group of miners also played a more important role. They not only mastered the magic skills, but also had a much higher efficiency in mining divine stones than ordinary magicians. Moreover, they were familiar with the distribution of ore veins in Duke Town, which symbolized a living and huge wealth. How could they get rid of them easily!

What's more, there is a new situation. Their staying in the Empire will be a means to contain Amun. Amun has a high prestige among the people of eju, especially in the army. Such a man can't help but make the Pharaoh afraid. If he was loyal to serve the Egyptians, everything would be fine. However, if amunho went to any other country on the mainland, it would be a blow to the Egyptians. Of course, the Pharaon did not want Amun to return home with his people. Such people must be used by Egyptians. Whether to use them or not is another matter.

It's nothing for the Pharaoh to give the slave to Amun. They are still slaves of the Egyptian empire. Being detained in Amun's territory is not only a favor, but also a better control.

However, Amun was also prepared for this move, and asked the Pharaoh for a strange territory, and in this case, the second could not refuse!

As the Lord of the fiefdom, Amun could naturally send his slaves to reclaim. These two requests seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they can make Moses and others return home from the enslavement of eju. As for their status after returning to the DUK plain, it is no longer up to the Pharaoh to take charge of their identity.

Today's imperial generals are no longer as ignorant as they were when they first came out of Duke. Amun sat in the position of commander-in-chief of the battlefield, but he had a lot of contacts with people from all walks of life. Inspired by an experience a long time ago, Princess Xiaoxi of the kingdom of Baron gave eusil, the leader of the giant United tribe, a piece of territory, but it was not in the kingdom.

Amun learned this from Princess Xiaoxi, but he asked for it on his own initiative. He has always been a simple child, never playing with people's heart, the first time he played officialdom, played a big game, the opponent is the king of Egypt.

The Pharaoh immediately reflected Amun's intention, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. How much credit has been made to capture king hatti alive, to rescue the army crisis, to promote peace talks between the two countries, to command the army to repel the Uruk army, and to summon gods to protect the territory of Egypt! He only took the initiative to make such two trivial requests, and could not even refuse.
