111, Self-invested Net

When the Pharaoh was furious when he heard the news, he ordered the rear of the Horus Legion to return to help, and at the same time, Isis's Legion surrounded and eliminated the ambushed enemies in the desert. At this moment, Hathi's army took the initiative from the north, and King Lucill was not in the army, and the commander was actually Gerry. Moreover, not only the Enrile legion, but also the Anu legion led by Gerry!

The ambush on the Seth Legion in the desert is the masterpiece of a surprise attack team specially trained by the Anu Legion. The Pharaoh made mistakes in both command and intelligence judgment. He thought he was using the power of two and a half legions to raid one of the opponent's legions, but when it was time to fight, he found that the other side was two elite legions to fight, and only the Horus Legion next to him could enter the battle first. The Isis Legion behind him was still collecting the broken Seth Legion and sorting out the remaining materials.

The Horus Legion had very strong combat power, but they traveled a long distance across the desert to conduct raids, and the two opponents were waiting for their leisure. This battle lasted for three days and three nights in the junction of the desert and the grassland. The Horus Legion launched a continuous charge without breaking through the opponent's defense line. The counter-charge commanded by Gelie finally broke the battle formation of the Horus Legion.

In the first battle, the Pharaoh was defeated.

The Horus Legion had to retreat and retract, but Gere would not give the Pharaoh a chance, and commanded the two legions to encircle from left to right, trying to wipe out the Horus Legion. At this time, the battle had already reversed, and the Horus Legion was exhausted and it was difficult for him to fight a bad battle. Fortunately, the supporter Isis's army arrived in time and started an encounter with the Hati army, which was about to form an encirclement.

This was a melee, only one day and one night, but the scene was extremely tragic. The casualties of both sides exceeded the previous battle. From the scene, the Eju army was just a little undermined, and barely stabilized its position. However, the baggage team that the Isis army fell behind was defeated by the encircled Hati army.

When the raid failed and entered the position to fight, the Pharaoh's army fell into trouble. He only gathered up a tired army of more than one legion. Facing the two elite legions with high fighting spirit, the situation was a dilemma. Continue to move forward and cannot defeat Hati's army. If he retreated, he lost most of the baggage and it was difficult to lead the large army to safely cross the Syrian desert.

The Hati army did not form a tight encirclement, but was only waiting to defend the water source outside the desert and continuously launched an attack and charge to consume the alive power of the Pharaoh's army. They seemed to be waiting for the Pharaoh to withdraw. Once this tired army turned around and retreated into the desert, the morale was low and there was a lack of food and water. The Hati army came from behind, and the people of the Aiju would inevitably be defeated for thousands of miles or even wiped out.

The Eju army did not sit still and waited for death. Without a retreat, it launched a desperate attack, pushed forward and occupied a place with water sources and obtained freshwater supplies. At that time, the Hati army strategically retreated a gap. When the Eju army had just set up camp and breathed, it launched a counterattack from three sides, forcing the Eju army to retreat to a corner of the desert.

After several tug-of-war, the Eju army suffered heavy losses and consumed a lot, and they were no longer able to launch an active attack. They could only trap the camp and wait for rescue. The rescue may come from two directions, first of all, reinforcements organized by the Eju local. After half of the Seth legion was broken up, Julian had already protected Rhode Dick to withdraw the cape city-state. On the one hand, they gathered the remaining troops, and on the other hand, they organized soldiers left behind and reserve troops and emergency recruitment, preparing to rescue and respond to the army.

However, the far water cannot quench the near thirst. The situation of the Aiju expeditionary army is already very critical. The front-line command suggested that the Pharaoh break out alone under the protection of all the great masters. But in this way, he would be completely defeated and the Pharaoh's glory would be greatly damaged. The army in the desert would face the result of the entire army being wiped out. Rases II was unwilling to accept it.

The reinforcement force closest to the main battlefield is the An-La Legion, which has not yet been put into battle and has a complete lineup. The Pharaoh ordered the An-La Legion to advance eastward to reinforce, even if it was just to attract the opponent's troops to cover the retreat or buy time. It was not easy to send this order through more than 300 miles of desert. The road on the ground had long been cut off by the Hati army, so he could only send a magician to fly out.

The Pharaoh sent out a total of five shuttles, and the four of them were all covered to attract the opponent's firepower to block the fire. The great magician Cézanne and the great warrior Weijia's shuttle were the real main force to break through. As expected, these two people did not disappoint the Pharaoh's trust, and finally rushed out the many blocks and brought the order to the An-La Legion.

The awakened warrior Weijia finished the story. Amon and George comforted him to recover and rest, and said that the An-La Legion would do their best to rescue the Pharaoh from danger. Weijia fell asleep again. In addition to being seriously injured, George quietly used the magic trick to make him fall asleep again. Cézanne's body was obviously not as strong as the Great Warrior, and he has not yet woken up.

After coming out of the tent, Amon and George came to a secluded and deserted place for a secret discussion. Amon said, "It's not too late. If you want to explore the camp in the sky, I suggest you take advantage of the night to find out the enemy's situation before making a decision."

George shook his head and said, "Looking at the starry sky, the vigilant master can detect it more clearly, and he will be more vigilant at night, and it is actually easier to expose his target. The large army's actions are not just about to walk. Now we are ordering to make preparations for advancement. It is not too late for us to wait for a long time. When the sun is in the sky during the day, the sun shines on the desert, which interferes with the observation and magic detection. It is more suitable for flying inspections. It is better if there are clouds at a low altitude."

Amon asked again: "How many flying magic weapons did the Legion issue in total?"

George sighed and said, "The Wind Flying Shuttle is a standard flying magic weapon on the mainland. It is very fast and the production method is relatively mature, but the cost of building it is too high. The An-La Legion has five, all of which are the property of the empire, not the personal artifacts of the magician."

Amon thought about it and said, "Actually, we have seven shuttles now. The great magician of Cézanne brought one, and I also shot one during the day."

George smiled bitterly and said, "Of course we will return the shuttle Cezanne to him in the future, but we can temporarily requisition it. The shuttle you shot down is the spoil of the legion commander himself. You can keep it yourself and not violate any regulations of the empire. In fact, it is useless to have more equipment. Even if I count it, we only have five priests who can control the shuttle. The number of masters is far from comparable to the Legion of Horus or Isis."

George had not forgotten two people. Amon and Medanzo could control the Wind-Driven Flying Shuttle, but others didn't know. Amon shot two people with an arrow during the day. They were not shot to death by arrows, but fell from a high altitude to death. At that time, an enemy magician led a warrior to control the Wind-Driven Flying Shuttle to chase Cezanne, but was shot to the Flying Shuttle by arrows by Amon.

The opponent's warrior was not blocked at all, and the operator was a level 6 magician who tried to defend with the power of the shuttle's space. However, the impact of the arrow was extremely powerful, and it even carried continuous bursts of energy like a tide. The strange tremor shock was stronger than the power of the arrow directly shot.

The magician was caught off guard and his mana could not control the shuttle. As a result, he fell from the sky with the warrior. Their staff, weapons and shuttle of course became Amon's trophy. The shuttle was a little damaged, but it was easily repaired in Amon's hands. This was much easier than collecting materials to rebuild one, and it was also an unexpected gain.

Amon did not say this in detail. He thought about it and said to George: "Can you give me another shuttle for the time being? It may be useful in case of emergencies."

Even if a great warrior has undergone a second awakening of power, it is difficult for him to master the most profound flying magic among the high-level space magic and the Qi element magic, let alone use it at the same time. It is almost impossible to control the Wind-Driven Shuttle. However, George did not even ask more questions, and gave Amon a Wind-Driven Shuttle.

Amon returned to his commander's tent with two shuttles in his arms. Medanzo was also on duty outside the tent with his personal guards. Amon asked, "Are my cat back?"

Medanzo replied: "Mr. Schrödinger has just returned and has just gotten into the back tent."

Amon actually brought a cat with him during the march, and the cat's food and drink was served by the legion leader in his own hands every day, and it rested in Amon's camp. Schrödinger was so arrogant, which shows how much Amon loved it. The guards joked that this cat was "Master Schrödinger", which was also a kind of flattery. Over time, jokes became a habit, and even Medanzo called it that way.

When an accident occurred during the day, Schrödinger slipped out and disappeared. Amon had an urgent matter to deal with, but he didn't care. He was relieved to learn that Schrödinger had come back. He walked into the camp and saw Schrödinger squatting in the seat of the commander of the army in the middle of the tent. He just smiled slightly, then took out the vessel like a magic trick and made a pot of fragrant broth for Schrödinger, because Schrödinger hadn't eaten since daytime.

Schrödinger sat in the coach's position and finished eating. He stretched out his claws and stroked the table in front of him twice, and meowed at Amon a few times. Amon and this cat have been together for many years. Even if Schrödinger can't speak, he can probably guess what it wants to do based on his expression and movements. He immediately brought a large plate with fine sand and placed it in front of Schrödinger and said, "You went out, have you discovered something? Do you want to tell me if you have something?"

Cats usually shrink into a meat pad and only stick out when catching rats. But Schrödinger's claws are very interesting. They can shrink up the other few and only stretch out the tip of one claw, just like a person stretching out a finger and starting to draw pictures on the sand table.

First, he drew a semicircular circle along the edge of the sand table, and pointed five dots inside, then drew a line on the other side, wrote the words "Nanal Legion", and then drew a line in the distance, writing "Ambushes". Amon already understood that this was the distribution map of the various fronts on the battlefield. Schrödinger was clearly reminding him that the Hati army had long thought that the An-La Legion would go to reinforce the Pharaoh, set up an ambush in the desert waiting for him to pass.

As long as the An-La Legion goes deep into the desert and marches with baggage, he will be ambushed by the Enrier Legion and the Anu Legion in the most unfavorable terrain, the Nannar Legion will also take the opportunity to cut off the supply line and surround it from behind, without any tough battles, just trap them to death.

Before Schrödinger's claws could be stopped, he drew a box behind the defense line of the Nannar Legion near the southern part of the Black Fire Swamp, and wrote it in it - "King Hati".

Amon, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed in a low voice: "Schrödinger, what did you say! King Hati is in this position?"

Schrödinger nodded like a cat, then stretched his claws and wiped out all the traces on the sand table. This information was too important, enough to make Amon reappear and consider adjusting the overall combat plan. Pharaoh was fooled. He thought that King Hati and Enrier were stationed on the south bank of the Inland Lake. In fact, Enrier was indeed there, but King Lucill himself was in the rear, and Gere led the main force of the Annu Legion and also quietly gathered there.

How did Gelie conceal all this from the investigation of Aiju? In addition to sending different spies to prevent the discovery of the reconnaissance cavalry at the border, there should be some means. For example, soldiers can be ordered to disguise themselves as servants or civilians, mixed up with the logistics team that transports supplies or builds strongholds, and then complete the assembly. As long as the main marching route of the Aiju force has been determined, the decisive battlefield has been decided. The Hati army has not changed the arrangement of the legion on the surface, and even deceived the great magician's flying reconnaissance.

Seeing the map drawn by Schrödinger, especially pointing out the location of King Hati, Amon had a plan gradually emerged in his mind. Because this plan was too risky and bold, he had to carefully consider all the details and go to investigate in person tomorrow.

...

Shortly after sunrise the next morning, the sunlight on the desert was already very strong, and the white sand was covered with white reflections. Amon ordered Medanzo to strengthen his vigilance and quietly left the camp with the main priest George. Behind a hidden dune in the distance, George took out a magic weapon and said, "Legion Commander, let's go."

Amon was slightly stunned and lowered his voice: "Crystal Flying Shuttle? Lord George actually has such a good thing!"

George replied with a little emotion: "Mr. Amon is really good at seeing. He can recognize the crystal shuttle at a glance. I must be very expert in various magical artifacts? This was taught by an old friend many years ago, but unfortunately I had neither the ability nor the financial resources at that time. Later, I was fortunate to become the honorary high priest of the Temple of Isis, and later I became a formal high priest, so I had enough financial resources and energy to build such a magic weapon, which was successful not long ago. It is my precious private collection and a commemoration of past times."

The thing in George's hand was like a translucent small plate, with a wind charm dance in the middle, and three blue water hearts symmetrically fusing the edges. The divine stone and magic weapon looked like they were naturally connected. I don't know what magical means it was made. Such an object is so expensive just from the material, not to mention how many times it will take to succeed. The preciousness can be imagined.

George controlled the crystal shuttle and took Amon to the sky quietly. Looking close, the space formed by the shuttle was like a hazy translucent light and shadow refracted, and looking from a distance, there was no trace at all when facing the reflection on the sun and the sand. When flying high to the sky and blending into the background of the sky, the crystal shuttle was even more shady. When it encountered clouds, it could also be revealed, like a gray or white fog, like clouds floating in the sky.

After flying to the sky, the crystal shuttle turned into a mist and clouds, which saved mana more than the translucent hazy state of light and shadow. George said to Amon again: "The crystal shuttle also has a stealth effect, which can avoid the sensing of the magical magic. If you maintain a safe distance, even the great magician will not be able to find it. If you didn't have this thing in your hand, I wouldn't dare take Lord Amon to venture to explore the camp."

Amon nodded and said, "I have heard of this kind of flying magic weapon, but it is too difficult to build. This is the first time I have seen someone successfully make it. Although its hidden effect is good, the people above cannot easily use their mana to launch attacks on the outside, otherwise it will lose its meaning of stealth. It also has one weakness, which is that its speed is much slower than the Wind Flying Shuttle."

George took out a wind-driven shuttle with one staff in his hand and said, "It's okay, we only reconnaissance at high altitudes, try not to be discovered. If we are discovered, no matter how capable we are, we cannot fight the army. Put away the crystal shuttle and run away with the wind-driven shuttle. At that time, the Great Warrior Amon should not forget to use magic arrows to cover us to escape."

The two of them went east while talking. Although the speed of the crystal shuttle was not as fast as that of the wind-controlling shuttle, it was certainly not slow as the flying magic weapon. At noon, they had already flew across the desert to approach the main battlefield and saw the camps of the two armies from afar. The pharaoh's army was stationed at the edge of the desert, only a dozen miles away from the nearest water source. Obviously, more than one battle broke out between the camp and the water source. The broken weapons could also be seen on the ground, emitting stark reflections under the sun.

The Hati army had a strict flag, and was surrounded on three sides. On both sides of the desert where the Pharaoh might have retreated to the south, a team of cavalry was arranged along the way. Schrödinger was right, and on the way toward the An-La Legion, there was a heavy defense line, and he was waiting for Amon to fall into the trap.

At present, the Pharaoh's army is no longer able to attack and can only defend passively. The Hati army can calmly call out elite troops to fight against the An-La Legion. It is too far away to see all the details clearly. Maybe there are other ambushes on both sides of the desert, and Rhode Dick has suffered such a loss.

There were masters like Gere in the other camp. Although there were crystal shuttles that could hide their tracks, they did not dare to float too close. After seeing the general arrangement, Amon immediately asked George to take him back. However, the way back did not go straight to the camp of An-La Legion. Amon made a somewhat adventurous decision and circled northwards, floating behind the Nannar Legion, which confronted An-La Legion, and watched over the hilly areas in the south of the Black Fire Swamp.
