114. The most daring adventure

Soon after the vanguard of the An-La Corps had rested for the night and retreated rapidly, not only did the main force of the Nannar Corps pursue it, but the troops on the defensive line also advanced. They carefully swept through the original battlefield, leaving no remnants of the enemy behind.

When the main force of the Nannar Army and the fleeing vanguard of the An-La Army were engaged in a great pursuit on the desert, the vicinity of the sand dunes where the Amun garrison was resting was almost plowed by the Hatian soldiers. Sure that all the enemy had fled, the Hattites regrouped their defenses, still sending scouts nearby to keep their guard on the lookout.

Amon and Medanzo disappeared at midnight to recuperate, and they did not leave the army, but no one knew where they had gone, and when dawn had retreated, only George and John were left to lead the army. In the afternoon of that day, on the edge of the desert dozens of miles away from that place, in a secluded and desolate place, on a flat ground between large sand dunes, two small sandbags suddenly rose.

Sand came out of the ground, and quicksand continued to fall around at the top, and then two people appeared on the desert. This scene is very weird, very similar to the scene when Amon saw the appearance of the Scorpion King, but the movement is much smaller, and there are almost no mana fluctuations, and the people who come out from under the sand are Amon and Medanzo.

They spent most of the day lurking under the sand dunes for dozens of miles, evading all the search of the Hati soldiers. Both of them were wearing strange scale armor, dark but not reflective, and there was not even a grain of sand on their bodies. Medanzo looked around and whispered: "This scorpion shell armor is really amazing, not only can it defend against water and fire, but it can also sneak under the sand, Link's craftsmanship is really good, but it's a pity that only two pieces were made." ”

They wore a small piece of bizarre armor made from a strange carapace on the back of a mutant giant scorpion, and Amon helped Link make the first one when he was in the troglodyte savage tribe. After Amon left, Link made a second one, and Medanzo escorted Aesop to the swamp island to help Link, and Link gave this scorpion shell armor to Medanzo for self-defense, which really came in handy today.

Amon also patted the armor on his body and said: "It's really a good thing, it's just that the materials are not easy to make, and it's not easy to build, I have collected so many carapaces, and after making such two armors, the rest is not enough to make another one." Although the clothes are good, it depends on who wears them, and if they are replaced by someone else, they must be the great samurai who has mastered the mid-level divine art after the second awakening of power to play the greatest role. ”

Medanzo smiled and said, "I'm not a great samurai yet, but this armor is just right. The cultivation habits that Amun usually taught me only saw its usefulness at this time, and I wore it to sneak under the desert for most of the day, and I was not very tired, and the weak and long-lasting mana was just right. ”

Amon glanced at him and said, "Although you are not a great samurai, an ordinary great samurai may not be your opponent, you must be cautious in doing things, but you must also have self-confidence and not be timid and cowering." ”

Medanzo said with a slight smugness, "Of course, if not, do I dare to follow the god Amun on this trip? What now, let's go to King Hati's camp?"

Amon looked at the sky and then at the front, shook his head and said, "There is a grassland ahead, and there are mountains and jungles not far away, so we can't sneak under the sand." In broad daylight, if someone flew in the sky to investigate, maybe they would find the two of us. ”

Medanzo: "With stealth magic, we should not be afraid to use magic at any time to hurry. ”

Amon shook his head again and said: "This habit is very good in normal times, it is a way to exercise mana, but what we have to do now is very dangerous, we must ensure that we have enough energy and physical strength, we have been drilling in the desert for most of the day, and we can't consume it uselessly." Besides, it is impossible to use all the mana if you continue to rush by casting the stealth magic technique, and a clever magician can still find it when you are close. Changing into snake scale armor, we took the nearest road to lurk in the swamp. ”

Not only did they carry scorpion shell armor with them, but they also had snake scale armor made from the scales of the two-headed monster snake, which was made of divine magic, which could sneak in water or swamps without getting wet, and also required the user to master intermediate magic skills. Medanzo said with a bitter face: "I just got out of the sand, and I want to drill into the mud again?"

Amon also smiled bitterly: "Don't just think about the majestic face, you should suffer the same sin." Now is not the time to act, until George and John have attracted the main force of the Nannar army, it is estimated that they are chasing and fleeing in the desert and fighting fiercely, but I hope the big camp can hold it. ”

The two of them quietly walked out of the desert and into the grassland, the scorpion shell armor had a faint reflection in the sun, but then it changed to the same color as the environment, and the figures of the two were blurred, and it was not easy to see in the near distance, and it was even more difficult to find in the distance. Instead of going straight to King Hatyt's camp, they made a great circle to the east, and by the most secluded way they reached the edge of a swamp, where they changed into snake scales and disappeared into the soft grass and muddy water.

...... King Luciel of Hatti was not in a good mood today. He heeded the advice of the king's [***] minister Jugul and several regimental commanders, and left the banner representing himself in the army of Enriel, but he himself withdrew from the front to the rear. It is rare to leave the royal capital to go to the frontier to relax, and it is very comfortable to ride and shoot and hunt every day, which is also in line with his heart.

It's like this, it's inevitable that I'm a little bored after a long time, and I heard that the front has won a big victory, but Ge Lie and others have been reluctant to launch a general attack to capture the Pharaoh of Eju, which makes His Majesty the King, who is waiting to establish this magnificent feat, a little anxious.

Early this morning, an urgent report was received, and the An-La army of Eju sent a force to break through the defense line and rush towards the hinterland of Syria like crazy. Although they were far away and would encounter heavy armies on the way, the guards around him advised the king to be careful, and to be safe, it was better to retreat to the city-state.

Lucille was not happy, he said with a calm face: "I am on a personal expedition this time, is it possible that there is an enemy activity far away, and I am going to flee when I hear the wind? Could it be that the Nannar Legion is a waste, and cannot stop this small group of enemies, and you are all waste, and you can't protect me?"

Lucille was a little choked, not only did he not evacuate, but he didn't even change the camp. His army, of course, was not a waste, and soon received a report of the battle, that the invading enemy had been repulsed, and that they had fled in a hurry after suffering heavy losses, and that the captain of the Nannar Legion had already led his army to cover up, driving the remnants of the enemy back to the camp and attacking them.

By the next day, official war reports had arrived, and the Nannar Corps had repelled the enemy's elite and surrounded the enemy camp for a fierce assault. The An-La army retreated from defense and did not dare to take a step out of the large battalion, and General Orebein led the main force under his command to annihilate nearly 2,000 enemies, and then returned to the division with a great victory.

Orebain's report is an interesting one, as it seems that he won a great victory, first chasing the An-La army all the way to slash and slash, and then slamming his opponent until he was tired of beating him. The figure of 2,000 enemy annihilated is exaggerated enough, and the total number of official combat troops of the An-La Army is only more than 5,000, even if you count all the logistics teams, servants, and civilians in the rear, it is only 20,000.

But that's how the war report was written, and Orebain knew what His Majesty liked to hear.

Lucille's mood only improved when he saw this report, although he knew that Orebain must have exaggerated, but at least it showed that the defense line was safe, and his place was safe, and he was even complacent about yesterday's calm and calm decision. On this day, His Majesty went hunting with his guards in the jungle at the edge of the swamp not far away, and came back in the evening to have a bonfire in the camp.

The king's camp was a natural and magnificent tent, and he lived in a large tent of the most beautiful animal skins, and in front of the tent a courtyard was enclosed with curtains, and in this courtyard he lit a fire to roast meat, and drank and had fun. With a happy heart, His Majesty Lucille also rewarded the entourage around him.

...... That night, at the edge of the swamp closest to the king's camp, two men appeared silently in the muddy water, none other than Amon and Medanzo, who were dressed in brown snake-scale armor, and the muddy water slipped from them without any contamination. If you look for the two people who are most familiar with the terrain of this area on the Tianshu Continent, it is Amon and Medanzo, who have spent a long time through many dangers and obstacles to do the most detailed investigation.

It took the two of them a day and a half to make a circle around the swamp, avoiding all possible reconnaissance and sneaking into the closest position to the king's camp. Especially in the last part of the journey, they swam very carefully in the swamp, and even the scorpion-tailed dragon that roost in it was not alarmed.

After going ashore, he entered the jungle, took off his snake scale armor and replaced it with a scorpion shell armor, of course, because the scorpion shell armor has a better defensive effect, and he is about to face an unpredictable fierce battle tonight. Then they checked the equipment they needed, Amon took the Iron Staff, his most customary weapon, and took out a Wind Shuttle and a few scrolls and handed them to Medanzo.

Amon whispered: "Of course, I asked you to come with me to take a risk, but it is not a needless death, in case the plan is hopeless, you will unfold the scroll to cover yourself, and the shuttle will flee quickly." You can't flee in the direction of the southern front, go north deep into the swamp to Link. ”

Instead of holding a staff, Medanzo carried a strange sword. The hilt of this sword is long, almost half the length of the sword, and it looks like a sword with a short staff attached to it. The end of the hilt of the sword is also inlaid with a sacred stone, but it is not visible in the material. This is the weapon Amon obtained in the belly of the mysterious mountain, which was supposed to be the precious sword of a certain great samurai, which is very suitable for assisting in the use of divine arts, and it is natural to give it to Medanzo to make the best use of it.

They each wore a short knife at their waists, a sharp blade that Amon had struck with the fangs of a strange serpent. Medanzo took the shuttle and the scroll and said, "Of course I will be careful, but I will never run away unless I have to! ”
