Amon shook his head and said, "There is only one possibility for me to put down my weapons here, that is, your guards killed me, but before that, they will definitely kill you by chance Your Majesty the King! So to protect you, I cannot put down my weapons. Before you make a request, let me make a request and invite the person outside in."
...
Under the "escort" of a team of guards, Medanzo walked in with a proud look and stood behind Amon with a sword. He was a loyal captain of the guard. Seeing his chest and head-up, he seemed to be accompanying the commander Shizha's army, but his eyes were staring at the two beauties on the bed board and looked again and again. He whispered in Amon's ear: "My god, you are so amazing. I knew you would definitely be able to catch the king, but I didn't expect to bring such a beautiful scenery to the table!"
Then he waved his hand and said to the people around him: "How can you servants watch the princess's jade body? You are so rude that you are so shameless. Why don't you hide your face and leave quickly! Your Majesty the King also needs to wear clothes. It's not suitable to stay here. Change us to a good tent. This is the middle of the night, do you want His Majesty to sleep naked in the open air?"
As he said that, Medanzo had already changed Amon's position, hung his sword back to his waist, pulled out the short blade and gently tapped the back of the chair behind the king. Amon put away the short blade, reached out to take out a branch out of thin air, stepped forward and pointed around and said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude, how can I treat Your Majesty and the two princesses like this. Please take the king's clothes, wait for the two princesses to leave here and have a good rest, and change us a comfortable tent."
He picked up the branches, and the two beds on the table flew lightly, as if they were held in the air by an invisible big hand and fell into the yard outside. Only then did Celia see clearly that the "branch" in Amon's hand was actually a magical staff. The commander of the legion also knew magical skills and used magical power very exquisitely.
The king's personal work efficiency was high. The palace people carried the bed board with two princesses and rebuilt a gorgeous animal skin tent. The king naturally had special tents and bedding for travel. Amon and Medanzo "guarded" Lucill, saying that the king was tired and frightened and needed rest. If he had anything to talk about tomorrow, he immediately closed the tent.
The guards surrounded the tents heavily. Amon and Medanzo were unable to fly, but no one outside dared to rush in because the king's life was in the hands of the assassin. I wonder how the king and the assassin "rest" it, anyway, the others in the camp would not want to sleep, and could only wait for dawn in anxiety, guessing what tricks these two assassins wanted to play?
The highest commander in the camp temporarily became the king's accompanying magician Celia. She could not make any decision even if such a big deal happened. She immediately sent someone to send a secret message to inform the commander of the Nannar Legion and the front-line command center on the main battlefield. This news can only be known to the senior management of the front line. In addition, it must be strictly guarded and cannot be leaked, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army.
Of course, Celia had to question Afei, the great warrior guarding the door of the big tent. How could the assassin catch the king? Afei was also full of grievances and couldn't say it. Medanzo was making a lot of noise outside, and finally attracted Celia's attention. When she went out to use her magical magic to try to take Medanzo, Amon sneaked into the camp from another direction.
If Celia was still next to the king's tent, even if Amon could enter the camp, it would be difficult for him to quietly approach the king's tent. The king's tent had three entrances in front and back. The front tent was a place for ordinary discussions and banquets. Afei took his personal guards to guard the front tent. The tent in the middle was the king's tent, and there was a tent behind him, which contained palace servants serving the king on duty. Outside the back tent, there were two magicians and a group of ward guards.
When Celia took action, the fierce battle outside the camp attracted everyone's attention. Amon suddenly took action on the side of the king's tent. He cut the entire tent in half with one strike, but the people inside were not hurt at all. It is hard to describe the amazingness of this sword. Amon used not a short blade made of the fangs of a strange snake, but the short knife that Mayor Dasty gave him when he left Duke Town a few years ago.
Amon sneaked in silently, but he did not hide his hands when he was doing it. A knife used by a hunter when walking on the mountain was like a rainbow passing through the night sky. He waved the knife in the distance and cut the big animal skin tent more than ten feet wide and the bracket into half, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The separated tent was rolled to both sides by a force, covering all the people in front and behind the tent.
As a great warrior, Afei would naturally not be entangled by the fallen tent. When Amon swung his sword, he reacted. He took out his sword and rushed in and appeared next to the king as soon as possible. He was closer. Although he delayed for a while, he rushed into the tent faster than Amon.
But as soon as he rushed in, Amon, who was also rushing to lift the staff in his hand, and the bed where the king was sleeping was cracked in half. Two naked princesses lie on it and smashed towards Afei. Afei's duty was to protect the safety of the king and the princess. His sword had been raised, but his subconscious reaction did not slash out. Instead, he picked the two beds with the tip of the sword, and picked the two beds very exquisitely and landed smoothly on the table in the front tent. The two terrified princesses were not injured at all.
When he raised his sword to strike forward, Amon rushed over, swung his staff and rushed straight with a roar. This was a force that a great warrior could stimulate. The long sword and the iron staff were fighting each other, and the sound was Afei flying out.
If Afei had put the staff with all his might, he might not have been shaken so far, but the king was lying among the two of them. Lucill deserved to be unlucky today. He had fun during the day and drank some wine at night and was very excited. He hugged the two princesses on the bed and was enjoying his fun. Suddenly, with a sharp roar through the air, he saw the stars in the sky naked.
The king and the beauty were fighting happily, and no one dared to disturb him, so they were not too close to the central tent. Amon used the space magic to accurately split the bed board and threw the two princesses at the great warrior Afi. Lucill fell to the ground from between the two cracked bed boards, and then he looked up and saw a sword and a staff fighting above his body.
If the power of the two great warriors breaks out head-on, the unblocked king near the corner will be enough to be killed by the aftermath of the sword light for several rounds. So Afei cannot take it head-on, so he is knocked out. When he smashes over the large iron furnace in the courtyard and gets up and rushes back, the others have already jumped out from under the tent, and Celia and Aruka have also arrived, but the king has fallen into Amon's hands.
...
The commander of the Nannar Legion, Aurebein and the main priest Vivian, were shocked when they received the news. They heard that the assassin was Amon, the commander of the An-La Legion, and his personal guard captain Medanzo, suddenly realized when the two of them crossed the defense line and entered the rear, which was in the inexplicable offensive battle two days ago.
Gelie had long reminded that Amon was the person who was most familiar with the terrain environment in this area. But Aurebein never dreamed that Amon, as the commander of the legion, quietly infiltrated the enemy's defense line with one person, avoided all the posts and reconnaissance cavalry, and actually accurately touched the king's camp and successfully held the king hostage!
If the king had any faults here, not only would the accompanying guards be punished, but Aurebein and Vivian would not be able to take advantage of it. No matter how big the victory was on the battlefield, it would not make up for such a mistake, not to mention that the Nannar Legion did not win the battle at all.
After receiving the secret report, Aurebain immediately ordered the entire army to defend the camp and defense line and not to take the initiative. He and Vivian led their elite guards to the king's camp with their elite guards. They wanted to deal with the two assassins. In fact, the guards around the king were enough, and no matter how many people went, it was useless, but Aurebain had to do so. He had to act as a loyal guard.
...
On the side of the An-La Legion, the main priest George was anxiously waiting for the news. Amon and Medanzo were not sure of their lives and deaths, and they would decide the fate of the entire battle situation. Amon had his plan, even if he couldn't grasp the King of Hathi, he could disrupt the opponent's front line arrangement. The disturbance in the rear made it difficult for the Nannar Legion to take into account both the head and tail. Only then would the An-La Legion have the opportunity to implement the Pharaoh's orders to rescue the main battlefield.
The adventures of the two people are more secure than the deaths of 20,000 people. Amon gave the order as the commander of the legion and did not bring a priest. The main priest George was responsible for supervising the army, but in the end he nodded barely and did not stop Amon's actions.
Aurebein and Vivian suddenly left the camp with their elite guards and rushed to the edge of the black fire swamp in the northeast direction, naturally without hiding George's investigation. The great magician couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It seemed that Amon's action was successful. At the same time, he was also very worried. He didn't know what the situation of Amon and Medanzo were in, so it was almost impossible to escape.
The only help George could provide was to put pressure on the battlefield, and the Anla Legion was ready to attack. George and John immediately led the main force of the legion to rush north to attack the Nannar Legion's camp. If it were a few days ago, the Anla Legion would never have such a military action, but the situation has changed now.
In the last battle of the pursuit and attacking battalion, the Nannar Legion underestimated the enemy and slammed too hard. The battle was not good enough to hurt the vitality and had not yet settled down. What's more, the chief officer was not there, and the order he received was just to defend the death. And the An-La Legion had just won three battles and had a high morale. The confidence of the soldiers who had never fought before had reversed. No matter what kind of enemy they encountered, they would dare to attack their defeated generals, let alone take the initiative to attack?
All the elite troops of the An-La Legion came out and launched a fierce attack on the Nannar Legion. This time it was really like tying people to a tree and beating them. George did not attack rashly, but set up a battle formation and chose a main attack direction to advance steadily. Since the opponent did not take the initiative, this fierce war scene looked like an attack camp exercise. John calmly mobilized various troops to cooperate and launched rounds of offensives.
As soon as Aurebain was halfway through the way, he heard that the camp was attacked. He was in a dilemma and had to grit his teeth and continue to march towards the King's camp. He sent people to send messages to the fortifications to defend it. George's purpose was not to conquer the camp, but to use his strategic advantages to severely damage the opponent's live power, so he did not attack the fortress and solid fortifications. He only chose the weak links on the defense line to launch an attack battle. The Nannar Legion paid a lot of casualties to defend the gap in the defense line.
The battle lasted for a day, and the main attacking party's An-La Legion also suffered hundreds of casualties, but it attacked a corner of the Nannar Legion's camp, achieving brilliant results. They burned a lot of tents and a lot of military supplies they had hoarded. Before Aurebein and the reserve forces of the Syrian city-state came to reinforce, they withdrew their troops and brought back a large amount of spoils.
After this battle, on this flank battlefield, the combat effectiveness, morale, and initiative in offense and defense between the two legions had been reversed. The Nannar Legion, which suffered two heavy damage, was no longer able to launch an active counterattack against the An-La Legion and could only passively take the defensive.
Another rumor that made the soldiers of Hati was frightened. The An-La Legion shouted a slogan when attacking: "King Hati has been captured alive by our great commander Amon, and the army of Hati is about to be defeated. Your commanders have rushed to the king to receive surrender. You may not surrender quickly!"
Such rumors are unbelievable, but they have to suspect that the commander of the legion and the main priest hurriedly left and ordered the defender to death. The battle was so fierce that they did not come back to take charge of the overall situation. Something big must have happened. Did the king really be captured alive? If the king was caught by the enemy, then the main force of Hati would definitely be defeated!
A day later, Aurebain came back and immediately ordered heavy punishments to those who spread rumors in the army, but the panic was shrouded in the hearts of many soldiers like an indelible shadow, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud.
Why did Aurebein come back? He was ordered by the imperial prime minister, minister of military affairs, and the front-line commander-in-chief Gore. Half a day after he arrived at the king's camp, Gore personally drove the shuttle and brought Lord Chorere with him.
...
Gerey received the news that the king was being held hostage very suddenly. Before the news came, he was discussing the front-line battle with Prince Ashe who represented the king on the front line, the kingdom prime minister Juguri who commanded the Enriel Legion, Zhanbey, the main priest of the Enriel Legion, and the main priest of the Annu Legion, Walet, and others.
Zhan is a veteran of Hati Divine Art Academy, the chief magician of the palace, and also a level nine master magician. There are only three level nine master magicians in Hati Kingdom who came to the front line of the main battlefield this time, and all the elites are out.
Zhan Bey frowned and said, "The latest order from His Majesty the King is to urge us to launch a main attack and eliminate the main force of the Eju army as soon as possible. It is best to capture Rases II alive and establish an unprecedented miracle in the history of Hathi. Lord Gelie, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, you have been slow to hold your troops. His Majesty the King is very anxious."
Ge Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I understand His Majesty the King's mood. Everyone wants to win the final victory as soon as possible. However, when the general attack is launched, the Eju army will fight to trap beasts. The combat power in despair cannot be underestimated. Although we can win, the price will be very high. As long as we are siege for another half a month, Hati will win without fighting. They have no strength to counterattack, and they will not be able to retreat through the desert again."
Prince Ashe nodded and said, "Lord Gerey commanded this war, and he predicted that the enemy would be like a god. The army of Eju was led by us. The situation of the war has developed to the present. His Majesty the Father was indeed a little too anxious. He waited for many years before he could win this great victory. Of course, he wanted to capture Rases II. Eju Pharaoh became a prisoner of King Hathi and would wash away the shame for a hundred years. I will send an envoy to explain the specific situation of the battlefield to the father, and you will still act according to the plan."
Gelie added with a smile: "I suggest that your highness add another explanation. If you want to capture Pharaoh alive, he will definitely run away when launching a general attack. Although the masters around him cannot lead the army to retreat, it is possible to protect one person to escape back to Eva. The reason why Pharaoh hasn't left yet is because the main force of the army is trapped in the desert and he is waiting for the arrival of rescue."
Juguli also analyzed: "I hope Pharaoh escapes early, which means giving up the war. The army besieged by us will collapse without fighting, and the end of a complete victory will come sooner. The Pharaoh stays in the army and does not leave. It is a symbol. The Eju army will continue to invest its troops to reinforce here. The reinforcements may come from two directions, one is the reinforcements that set out from the cape city-state and cross the desert, and the other is the An-La Legion on the other side of the coastline."
Prince Ashe nodded and said, "Eju has a strong national strength. In order to make every effort to turn the situation around, it is possible to invest in two legions."
Wallet interjected carefully: "My opinion, if the Pharaoh does not escape, the longer the war is delayed, the more beneficial it is to Hathi. If the Pharaoh leaves, we will destroy the Horus and the Isis legion. Although we can severely damage Eju and achieve a temporary victory, it will not shake Eju's national strength. With the temper of Lasis II, we will definitely rectify the military and make a comeback. Even if we don't fight for the fertile land of thousands of miles, we will also be for the dignity of the Eju Empire and his face.
In that case, the war will not end, and we will have to pay a heavy price whether we win or lose in the future. If we do not attack now, attract the follow-up reinforcements of the Eju Empire to fight under adverse conditions, trap the Pharaoh's main force and only attack his support, and eliminate them all in the desert. This will make the Eju Empire hurt and unable to expedition for a long time, and peace will truly come."
Gelie nodded and said, "This is exactly what I think. Since the Eju army is trapped and waiting for assistance, let them take a last breath here without dying. First, destroy the An-La Legion, which is advancing eastward to rescue, and then concentrate the main force to defeat the Eju reinforcements that have crossed the desert. We don't even need to fight an annihilation war. The logistics supplies in the desert are destroyed and the collapsed army cannot obtain supplies on the spot. It is basically a dead end. This is a war of attrition that we have the advantage. It depends on when Eju's energy consumption?"
