Amon finally led the generals on the front line back to the main city of the Cape City State and once again met Pharaoh Rases II. The city lord of the Cape City State, Rhode Dick, had returned half a month in advance to prepare for the celebration ceremony. The ceremony was sacrificed by the Pharaoh himself, and the high priest of the Kingdom, Li Quaid, was the master of ceremonies, and the imperial general Amon enjoyed the highest honor, and was only half a step behind and almost side by side with the Pharaoh to sacrifice to Horus.

The ceremony was held in the temple of the city-state, but its real climax was when the guard of honor passed through the square to receive cheers from all the people. Amon walked beside the pharaoh in a shiny armor and a long sword. This was not a battle outfit, but a dress for the general to participate in the ritual of the gods. The sword was a special gift from the pharaoh.

This is the second time Amon has heard the people cheering here. The last time he came to return Nero's relics. At that time, people praised the great gods and the wise city lord Rhode Dick. This time the story has changed its protagonists, and the people praise the gods, Pharaohs and Amon.

Amon is more popular than the gods and pharaohs. He is young and handsome, and the imperial general in military uniform returns with great success. He is simply an idol in men's mind and a fantasy in women's dreams. Countless eyes are concentrated on him. Amon hears people cheering his names, and the kind of reverence and worship from the heart gather into a force. When he exerts his strange ability, he can clearly feel it!

Amon, who had lost his power, inexplicably felt a novel power on such occasions, but he didn't know what it was for. This was not the magician's magic power or the force of a warrior, it contained too many mystery and unknowns. He also felt all kinds of thoughts between the portals of the underworld. Is that the world's prayer for the queen of the underworld, and does it also contain such power?

Anuna Qi's Underworld is the divine realm of the Hades, Erepi. Is this the mystery of the so-called divine realm? Is that the power that only the gods know how to use?

The thoughts of countless people reflected into Amon's soul, and countless eyes were also projected on him. Amon actually felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, even as if he was heading to another battlefield. He didn't want to be so eye-catching, but he had nowhere to avoid it. When people cheered his name and sounded overwhelmed the Pharaoh's name, he could also clearly feel a little displeasure with Rathis II beside him. How can the Pharaoh describe this emotion, just like a child being snatched away his beloved toy, or a drunkard seeing someone drinking better wine.

Of course, Rassis II would not reveal this emotion. He walked at the front of the team, with a tall golden crown, which was the majestic king on the continent. Amon glanced at the crowd on both sides and found that many girls were waving their headscarves at him, pointing their fingers on their cherry lips and then waving them wildly, shouting enthusiastic and unrestrained words that made people blush and beat their hearts.

Amon could only smile bitterly in his heart, and inexplicably remembered Gilgamesh again. After Gilgamesh killed Hombaba, he sent some snake teeth and snake tendons to the capital of Baron. This was also the same scene when he entered the city. The Baron powerful people who came to greet him at that time had different mentalities, but the arrogant hero didn't care at all. He nodded and waved openly to accept the cheers of the people.

Amonko does not have the style of Gilgamesh, although today he also has a reputation as Gilgamesh. Perhaps because of his different mentality, Gilgamesh is the hereditary city lord and has been the pride of the city state since he was a child. Amon has always been a magician, and his mission is to unlock the secrets of the gods, so he is not used to being so arrogant.

The hero Gilgamesh, who was once extremely proud, has retreated in disgrace, but has achieved the glory of Amon now.

When the Pharaoh walked to the end of the long stairs and turned around in front of the majestic temple gate, the cheers reached their peak. Like a tsunami, many people in the square were trembling with excitement, and even their voices were hoarse. Amon took a step back and quietly stood aside, while the generals and priests were separated under the long stairs.

This scene reminded Amon again of Gere, whose reputation in Hati Kingdom has reached an unparalleled peak. Whether it was the former Gilgamesh or the current Gilva, Amon's status and glory seemed to be comparable to it, but he knew very well in his heart that the actual situation was very different.

Amon is a foreigner, with a somewhat unclear origin, his status rise is too fast, he is too young, and he is too prestigious in the army. He is undoubtedly accused of being a great master. It can be seen from the emotions of the pharaoh just now. Whether it is King Hati or King Barron, even if he is afraid, he cannot do anything to Grey or Gilgamesh. However, Amon's situation is different, not to mention that he has lost the power to protect himself now.

When the ministers of Eju followed the Pharaoh into the temple, the cheers of the crowd remained outside the door, and the majestic statue of Horus came towards him. Horus, who was worshipped in the cape temple, was a human body, wearing the wings of a giant eagle, Amon inexplicably remembered the cloud eagle that was killed by Enqidu with one sword.

He thought of another thing. Is the power gathered by the gratitude and admiration of the people just now? Is it the so-called power of the gods? Perhaps it is also the meaning of the divine realm! Of course, the statue standing on the altar is not Horus himself, but Amon could sense the pressure of being stared at by the eyes, as if he had a certain life, as if Horus was here.

What is the meaning of this statue of gods to gods? Perhaps this is the answer. Is it necessary to be a god? Standing high above the altar? Maybe there is or not. This is not the question Amon has to think about now, but he couldn't help thinking.

After the sacrifice ceremony to the gods, it was the best dinner, as if it was back to the scene of the banquet with the ministers of Hati in the desert. Many people stood up to toast Pharaoh, then toasted Amon, praising his achievements. Pharaoh also patted Amon on the shoulder and said, "Our general is the real number one warrior on the continent!"

The day after the dinner, it was finally time to do the work. The corps needed to return to the garrison to recuperate, the soldiers who died in battle needed to be paid, and the soldiers who had made military achievements needed to be rewarded. The pharaoh agreed with the ministers and then handed over to the staff to implement it.

In fact, the Eju Empire did not win in these two battles in recent times. The battle in Hati was unfavorable and fell into a desperate situation. Then the peace talks were successful due to the unexpected turn of the battle. As for the battle with the Uruk Legion, they retreated first and then defended. Although it hurt the opponent severely, the Eju army suffered even heavier losses. In the end, the Uruk Legion took the initiative to retreat.

For the glory of the empire and the face of the pharaoh, of course, it can be said that this was Eju's victory, but these two battles did not gain any advantage. It can be said that the people were exhausted and the money was in the end but nothing was gained, and it was consumed in vain. However, Rases II still had to reward the entire army with great victory.

Since the Pharaoh himself didn't feel sorry for him, Amon naturally had no need to consider him. He asked the commanders of each legion to present the list of soldiers who needed key rewards to the Pharaoh directly, and handed over the other ordinary rewards and pensions to the Eju Army. As for the An-La Legion he personally led, the meritorious personnel were naturally not lost, so he let the *** officer count it in advance.

Of course, the rewards nominated by Amon are well deserved. Sio, the quartermaster of the An-La Legion, finally got his wish and became a nobleman. Not only that, thanks to Amon's special recommendation, he also became a nobleman with a famous title and a false title was posted in the property department of Mengfeis City State.

If you have a title, you must have a fief, but the Pharaoh did not directly reward the territory, but only allowed Sio to spend money to buy it himself. Of course, Sio couldn't ask for it. He was not qualified to buy a piece of land near Mengfeisi City as his territory, and now it's OK.

John, the commander of the front line, was demoted to He Lieshan for his reckless crime. Later, he was promoted to the An-La Legion by Amon. He was seriously injured when blocking the attack of the Uruk Legion. He has returned to Mengfeisi City for recuperation. He has made great contributions. With Amon's recommendation, he has been promoted to the third-level title, and his status is equivalent to that of the city-state's Military Affairs Director.

Amon also requested to resign from the position of commander-in-chief of the battlefield and commander of the An-La Legion, and formally handed over the military power. Pharaoh pretended to keep a few words and advised Amon to remain the commander of the An-La Legion, and thanked him for training such an elite army for the empire. Amon handed over the military power and lifted off the burden, so he naturally resolutely wanted to resign. So Pharaoh followed the flow and Amon resigned gloriously.

Although the Uruk Corps has retreated, the disputes in the Duke Plain have obviously not ended yet, and the defense of the Cape City-State is naturally more important than before. The Seth Legion wants to return to the garrison to reorganize, and it is obviously not enough to rely solely on the original city-state garrison. Rhode Dick applied to Pharaoh to let the Ann La Legion station the Cape City-State.

Amon also made the same suggestion to Pharaoh and elected John to succeed as the commander of the legion. Although John was not a great warrior, his military achievements were outstanding and he was one of the direct founders of this legion. Of course, there was no problem to recommend him. Pharaoh agreed to the An-La Legion to station in the Cape City-state, and did not reject John's appointment, but said that he would discuss it when General John's injury healed.

It is not necessary to describe the rewards that the soldiers who followed Amon to fight were given in detail. When he went to fight, he selected eighty personal guards, and thirty-six survived this series of wars. These people were specially selected by Medanzo, with very good qualifications, and they were all civilians with no background and illiteracy. After Amon's birth and death, they have all become nobles.

The personal guards are of a private army and are also guards for the travel of the imperial nobles. However, their salary is paid by the empire, and Amon himself can also pay for subsidies out of 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 meet the number of personal guards stipulated by an imperial general. Amon is preparing to bring back his territory.

Amon now only has the title of a general, but his status is very high, surpassing that of ordinary city-state lords, and is equivalent to a city-state lord like Meng Feisi and the high priest of the Temple of Isis. Therefore, the status of the personal guard captain around him is not low, and his title is equivalent to that of the commander of the garrison army of ordinary city-states, which Amon can personally appointed.

But he did not continue to appoint Medanzo. Medanzo's identity was rather embarrassing. He was a Baron noble and was hired. The Eju army had just fought with the Uruk Legion from Baron some time ago. Amon didn't know that there was another battle before he went to war, otherwise Medanzo would not have directly appointed him as the captain of the guard.

In the battle with the Uruk Corps, he did not let Medanzo lead the soldiers to charge, but appeared on the battlefield as his own guard. After the war, he handed over the military power, and Medanzo naturally left the Eju army and received a large sum of money but no other rewards.

It doesn't matter. Amon asked Medanzo to temporarily take the personal guards back to the newly obtained territory first. If the candidate for the personal guards is empty, just leave it to give favors in the future.

Less gossip. After all the messy affairs were discussed in the chamber of the Pharaoh's palace, Pharaoh was about to let the ministers take their leave, but Amon stood up, left his seat and came to the center of the hall, kneeled down to Pharaoh and saluted: "Your Majesty, Amon has one more thing to ask you."

The Pharaoh was stunned, then smiled and said, "General, please sit down and say anything. Just speak if you have any requests."

But Amon did not stand up and said slowly: "After meeting with King Hati, you said in person that if I want any reward, I will speak only after returning to Eju, and now I want to make a request to His Majesty."

This is a public reward in front of the ministers. Pharaoh has already rewarded Amon, and now he still has to continue to seek rewards. He will inevitably be forced to force the palace by catching what Pharaoh said in front of the ministers. However, with the contribution he made, it is normal to retreat with only one false title and hand over the military power to ask for rewards. No matter what request is made, Pharaoh is not easy to refuse.

Rassis II was stunned for a moment and laughed heartily: "Amun, you can naturally ask for any reward, say, as long as I can take it out!"

Amon: "Thank you for your kindness. You have given me enough. I don't want to make any more requests. It's just that my tribe members, the descendants of miners from Duke Town, are still serving hard labor in Helieshan. I hope you release them and give them freedom. I fight for the empire for your glory and to save my tribe."

Pharaoh frowned: "Is this happening? Why don't I know!"

I don’t know if the Pharaoh really didn’t know or pretended to be confused. Amon took out a volume of documents and held them high above his head: “Maybe Your Majesty can’t remember such a small matter, but it is very important to me. It was you who personally ordered them to be imprisoned in Ho Lieshan to serve. This is the official record.”

An eunuch took the document to Pharaoh, and Rases II opened it and looked at it, and said oh, "I remember it, this is the case. General Amon, I cannot refuse your request. But do you still remember the peace agreement we signed with the Kingdom of Hati? You are also the conscript of the peace treaty. I will leave them on Mount Heli, which is also a kind of protection. Do you want to return them to the Kingdom of Hati to continue?"

Amon replied calmly: "Your Majesty does not have to return them to the Kingdom of Hati, because they left Hati as not slaves, but rather fugitives who lost their homes and had nowhere to live. His Majesty, who took them in by his generous and kindness, is my gratitude on behalf of his tribe!"

Amon had a bit of a urge to force the pharaoh, and the pharaoh's face was not very good-looking. The Minister of Interior of the Empire was quickly interrupted, "General Amon didn't know that they are now slaves of the pharaoh. Although you have made great contributions to the empire, they are only your tribe and cannot give them freedom because of your merits."

Amon thought for a while and said, "That's easy, I ask His Majesty to reward me of these slaves."

Pharaoh looked at Amon and finally smiled again: "Of course it's okay, only dozens of slaves. If I'm stingy with rewards, how can I convince the soldiers of Aju? Amon, your tribe members are now your slaves, and you can take them back to your territory."

When they were speaking just now, the generals in the hall heard that Pharaoh rejected Amon's initial request, and all looked resentful and said, "It's a big deal that he heard Pharaoh agree to reward these slaves to Amon." With Amon's contribution, he just asked for dozens of slaves, and he was a member of his own tribe. What a big deal."

Amon saluted and said, "Thank you for your gift!"

The Pharaoh probably felt embarrassed and asked again: "Among, what else do you have to ask for? Should you want treasures or beauty, or more slaves and territory be raised."

Amon smiled: "Since Your Majesty said that, I really have a request, and I hope you will give me another piece of territory."

Unexpectedly, Amon could really climb along the pole. The Pharaoh's words were hard to take back, so he had to ask again: "General, you already have a large territory, where do you like?"

Amon's request was indeed a bit too much. The generals looked at him curiously, and they didn't know which place the general had liked. If there was a master, it would be a bit difficult to deal with it. Amon calmly took out another pampered scroll from his arms, held it high above his head and said, "I have prepared the map, please check it out."

The Pharaoh picked up the parchment scroll presented by the eunuch and said in surprise: "Duke Plain! This is not within the territory of the Eju Empire!" Amon presented a map of the Duke Plain. In the area of ​​Yuanduke Town, he drew an irregular circle of two or three hundred miles. It was the most suitable area for living and building a city-state after investigating the terrain.

Amon nodded and said, "Yes, I cannot be greedy for military merits, and naturally I cannot ask for more territory in the empire. But according to the peace agreement between Eju and Hati, explorers of both countries can enter there to find wealth and cultivate wilderness. I just ask Your Majesty to give me nominally, and as for whether I can cultivate it into territory, it is all up to me."

So that's it! The ministers all showed relief. The request was rejected by Pharaoh for no reason. It was a favor for him. He gave Amon a territory that was not in the territory of Aju, and Amon needed to reclaim it himself. Pharaoh looked at Amon and nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, it seems that you were prepared! Then let the Ministry of the Interior give you the next document to the land in the name of the 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 to accomplish what he is today, and relying on military merits to face the ministers, Pharaoh had to nod.

Although he only obtained a nominal fief, it was of great significance to Amon. Pharaoh refused to remove the identity of those miner slaves, and Amon asked Pharaoh to give them to him. This was only the first step. Although Amon could treat the slaves well in the territory, the slaves were slaves after all, and Amon had no right to give them freedom. Once these escaped from the border, they would still be returned according to the agreement between Aju and Hathi.

Although the Pharaoh did not take advantage of the expedition, he still did not give up on the Duke Plain and wanted to hold this group of miners in his hands. The descendants of Duke Town were once the legal owners of that land, but now they are Pharaoh's slaves. As long as Pharaoh gets the land deed, the slave's master will become the masters of that land.

Pharaoh asked about the whereabouts of the land deed before the war was launched, but Moses and others only said that the land deed had long disappeared in the flood with Duke Town. Whether the land deed was just a cover, Pharaoh still launched an expedition.

This group of miners has a more important role. Not only did they master magical skills, but they were much more efficient at mining divine stones than ordinary magicians, but they were also familiar with the distribution of mineral veins in Duke Town, symbolizing a living and huge wealth, how could they easily get rid of it!

What's more, there is a new situation now. Staying in the Eju Empire would be a means to restrain Amon. Amon had a high prestige among the people of the Eju people, especially the army, so such a person could not help but make Pharaoh fear it. If he was loyal to serving the Eju Empire, it would be fine, but if Amon went to any other country on the mainland, it would be a blow to the Eju Empire. Pharaoh naturally did not want Amon to bring his tribe back to his homeland. Such people must be used for the Eju residence. Whether to use it or not is another matter.

It was nothing that Pharaoh gave the slave to Amon. They were also slaves of the Eju Empire. Being detained in Amon's territory was not only a favor, but also a better restraint.

But Amon was prepared for this move and asked the Pharaoh for an incredible territory. In this case, Rassis II could not refuse to agree!

As the lord of the fief, Amon could naturally send his own slaves to cultivate the land with justification. These two requests seemed irrelevant, but they could just allow Moses and others to escape from the slavery of Eju to return to their hometown. As for their identity after returning to the Duke Plain, it was no longer the turn of Pharaoh to take care of them.

Today's imperial generals are no longer as ignorant as they did when they first left Duke Town. Amon sat at the position of commander-in-chief of the battlefield, but he had a lot of dealing with people from all aspects. The trick of giving territory was inspired by a certain experience a long time ago. Princess Xiao Qian from the Kingdom of Barron gave Yusir, the leader of the giant union tribe, a piece of territory, but it was not in the territory of the Kingdom of Barron.

Amon learned this from Princess Xiao Qian, but he took the initiative to make a request. He has always been a simple child and never plays with people. He played a big shot in the first time he played official power struggles, and his opponent was Pharaoh Eju.

The Pharaoh then realized Amon's intention, but at this moment there was nothing to do. He captured King Hati alive to rescue the army's crisis, promoted peace talks between the two countries, commanded the formation to repel the Uruk army, and inspired the gods to protect the territory of Aju. What a great contribution! He only took the initiative to make such two insignificant requests, and could not even refuse.
Chapter completed!
