The first chess piece Amon moved was the An-La Legion led by himself, which attacked the Nannar Legion camp in Hati to the north, and said lightly: "At noon today, the commander of the Nannar Legion has come, I think Lord Goret has also seen him, this battle has been fought, I have not lost in this flank battle, and I can attack at any time." ”

Ge Lie nodded: "I admire you for training a ragtag army to be what it is today. It is true that the Nannar Corps is no longer dominant. As he spoke, he took the large battalion of the Nannar Legion back and smiled again, "Then I'll let you go first." ”

Amon pointed to the sand table: "In this way, I will be able to grab the water source, and the pressure on logistics and supply will be greatly reduced." ”

Ge Lie still nodded: "Yes, it can make your army last longer, but it can't win in the long run." The Nannar Legion was supported by the city-state of Syria, which was very convenient for the replenishment of troops and logistics, while the An-La Legion was far from the mainland. Even if you can win the battle, once the main battlefield is defeated and the Harti army is outflanked, the An-La army will be completely annihilated. ”

Amon sighed: "It is still the main battlefield that decides the situation, and the city-states of the headland will not fail to rescue the pharaoh, and you will stop in the middle of the desert." He took a chess piece from the headland city-state and placed it in the middle of the desert.

Ge Lie: "You can see very clearly, our purpose is to defeat all the reinforcements, so that the Pharaoh's army will be defeated without a fight, how will you continue this battle?"

Amon didn't speak, and directly removed two chess pieces from the mouth of the Roni River in Eju, directly crossed the sea and attacked the hinterland of the Hati Kingdom, and after landing, he went straight to the royal capital, and then explained: "With the national strength of the Eju Empire, at least two expeditionary corps can be mobilized, and this time the pharaoh did not use the navy. If you abandon the battlefield on this side and attack directly from the sea, will you have time to come back to help? The Nannar Legion that was originally stationed in Haiphong has already been stared at to death, and the Enril Legion on the other side of the main battlefield is too far away from the Anu Legion. ”

Ge Lie frowned and said, "Why do you want to fight like this? Pharaoh's goal is the thousands of miles of fertile land around the original Duk Town. If you directly cross the sea and attack the capital of the Hati king, the losses will be great. Although the army around the royal capital of our country is empty, it is also possible to mobilize two garrison legions, and it can be defended by relying on the city. ”

Amun sighed, "At this time and then, if the expeditionary army is destroyed in the desert and Lasis II dies or flees, the meaning of war will be completely changed, and it will become a war of revenge between nations, not just a battle for a new territory. To tell you the truth, if Eju crosses the sea and attacks with the strength of the whole country now, you will have to withdraw your troops, and His Majesty the King will not dare to bet that the king can defend it, right?"

Ge Lie narrowed his eyes and said, "This is just an assumption, no matter what, the result will be a lose-lose situation, and no one can be the winner." ”

Amon sighed again: "There are many things in the world, I know that it is not wise, but some people will still do it. Who says there are no winners? Take a closer look. He moved two more pieces, one from the kingdoms of Assyria and Baron, to cross the plateau from the north and the desert from the south.

Ge Lie frowned: "These two chess pieces are not under your command. ”

Amon smiled: "The entire army of Eju is not under my command, but what can be used in this game of chess is my chess pieces." If Pharaoh died, Eju would definitely take revenge, and if Pharaoh fled back, he would be disgraced with his temper, and it was best to attack directly across the sea. Whatever the outcome of this battle, Hati will be greatly damaged, and Eju will not be able to launch an expedition anytime soon. Thousands of miles of fertile land will appear here, do you think Assyria or Barron will not be in contention?"

Ge Lie sighed: "With the guidance of the gods, no one will give up." But the way the war is going on is just a personal deduction of you, Legion Commander, and in fact it will not develop to this point at all. If I heard today that the warships of the Eju Empire were going to sea in a big way, I would immediately order me to return to the division, and I could not risk the fate of the entire kingdom, let alone the lives of tens of thousands of people. It's a pity that you are Amun, not the Ejupharaoh Lassis II. ”

The prime minister of the kingdom, Chocolate, also understood the situation on the side, and suddenly said: "Actually, there is another way to play this game of chess, so that nothing will happen on the sand table." ”

The Great Divine Sorcerer Celia asked curiously, "Prime Minister, what do you want to do?"

Chocolate glanced at Golie but didn't speak, and Golie was speechless. Amon smiled, and explained to Celia with a smile: "The Prime Minister's method is very simple, that is, kill me. ”

Then he looked around the table and said, "It's easy to kill me, just mobilize heavy troops to besiege this tent, and all the adults can hide far away from it." But there are two things to take into account in doing so, first, even if I die, it is not certain that Lacis II or the next pharaoh of Eju will not do what I just said. Second, if I die, how long will you keep the king's death under control, and which prince will you put on the throne?"

The faces of all the people present, including Lucill, darkened, and the king's gaze at the prime minister became gloomy for a moment. Chocolate hurriedly leaned over and explained: "Your Majesty, this is definitely not what the old minister meant!"

The king's tone was low and there was no obvious anger: "Prime Minister, I know that you are loyal to the kingdom, and you are only talking about all kinds of assumptions here. I am the king, and I should sacrifice for the kingdom if necessary! ”

Amon nodded to the king in thanks, and then continued: "I can't guarantee my life or death, but since I'm here, I'm not afraid of death, what will happen if King Hati dies here?" ”

Medanzo finally seized the opportunity to speak, and said with a short blade in his hand: "If the news is tightly sealed, there will be no mention of the army's heart wavering, and it is assumed that the Hatian army will win a complete victory." However, as far as I know, His Majesty did not appoint a successor, and this time he took Prince Asher with him on the expedition, and the Prime Minister was also in the army. As for the royal capital, your eldest son, Enis, was left in charge of the kingdom, and the Minister of the Interior was left as an assistant.

Both princes are supposed to be His Majesty's favorite sons, and it is unclear who will pass them on. And they all have a desire to compete for the throne, and they also have their own forces around them to support them. If His Majesty the King is still here, there will naturally be no problem, but if he suddenly dies here for no reason, the situation will be complicated.

Prince Asher was in control of the army, and as long as those around him pushed him to the throne, they all had the merit of supporting him. However, Prince Enis took advantage of the convenience of staying behind the king, and it was entirely possible to accuse Prince Asher of killing the king and his father, and succeed to the throne on his own with the support of his ministers. There is no need for external enemies to attack, and the Hati kingdom itself has internal strife. I am a man with a straight surname, and I will say whatever comes to mind, and His Majesty must not blame me. ”

Before coming, the great magician George analyzed the situation of the Hatti Kingdom, and indeed faced a battle for the throne, especially when one prince led the army outside, and the other prince was in charge of the kingdom in the royal capital, once the king died and there was no official appointment of an heir, the possibility of this kind of civil strife was very large. Medanzo is now learning and selling, and he said this prediction in public.

Golie and other ministers did not dare to speak, although the succession of the two princes was an open secret, everyone would only talk about it in private, otherwise it would be an unexpected trouble to spread out.

The only one who could speak was the king himself, Luciel inexplicably showed a tired look, and said slowly: "Actually, Lacis II also has the same trouble, if he dies on the expedition, the Eju Empire will also have a battle for the throne, and I am afraid that there will be civil strife for a while." ”

Amon smiled and said, "That's the case, but Your Majesty should think about yourself first, you are a noble king, there is no need to bury me." ”

The king finally looked up and asked, "My lords, if Eju agrees to all our conditions, and the Hati kingdom wins without a fight, what will they offer?"

Goret and Chocolate looked at each other and replied, "Then ask Pharaoh and his ministers, I'm afraid that the commander of Amun's army will not be the master." ”

Amon thought for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion that the two countries sign a non-aggression peace treaty, and the specific content can be discussed, and they swear before their respective gods. Elassis II's temper may still be under illusions, and I have sent messengers to deliver the news, and if there is no reply, there may be a battle before we can sit down and talk. ”

Lucille asked, "Prime Minister, Battlefield Commander Gore, do you agree?"

Ge Lie sighed, "Then let Amun send an envoy to try." ...... But who can you send?"

Amon smiled and pointed at Medanzo: "I only have this captain of the personal guard by my side, send him to the An-La Legion to inform the news here, and then rush to the Pharaoh's camp to explain the situation." I'm afraid you still need to send someone to escort you, and the faster you go, the better. ”

Ge Lie thought for a moment: "I suggest that Celia take control of the shuttle, and Aluka will accompany her to protect her, and escort this warrior to set off as fast as possible with the king's orders. ”

Lucille nodded, "Very well, I will give the order and wait for Pharaoh Eju's reply." ”

...... Medanzo reached the pinnacle of glory in his life, and returned to the camp of the An-La Legion in a shuttle, escorted by the great sorcerers and great warriors of King Hatyt. When the soldiers learned that King Hatti had been captured alive by Amun, cheers rang through the sky.

From here, when he set out to the Pharaoh's camp, the chief priest George also commanded another shuttle to follow, and brought a batch of supplies in the space magic weapon as much as possible, although it was a drop in the bucket for the army, but it was better than nothing, and he had to take this opportunity to explain to Pharaoh why he did not immediately pull out the camp and march east as ordered.

Because the An-La Legion was fighting fiercely with the Nannar Legion, and the main Harti army in the desert had already laid out a defensive line, the legion commander Amon would take the risk alone to establish a miraculous feat, kidnap the Harti king, and force the Harti army to take the initiative to negotiate.

When Lacis II received the news from Medanzo, he was first in ecstasy, rewarding the messenger and George, who had come with him, and then he was dissatisfied, and asked Medanzo why Amun had not forced King Hati to surrender.

There was no need for Medanzo to explain anything, and the ministers around Pharaoh persuaded His Majesty not to think so. The Hatti army had the upper hand, and it was impossible for a single king to abandon the fortunes of the entire kingdom, and if Lucir would rather die than give in, Amon would have no choice. What's more, with the army outside, there are still big doubts about whether the orders given by a hostage king can be carried out.

Lasis II was still a little unwilling, he had already captured the king of the other side, and still had to agree to the harsh conditions put forward by the other party, how could he be convinced? He asked Medanzo to return to his life and agreed to withdraw his troops, but Hati still had to belong to the Eju Empire, and the two countries would no longer be at war with each other, and the relationship between the two countries would be restored to the same as before the war.

Of course, Lucille, Gore, and the others could not agree to such conditions, and Amon sent Medanzo back to deliver a message, conveying the attitude of the Hati side, saying that the three conditions proposed could not be changed, and that if they wanted to talk, they would talk about other things. It's really Pharaoh's mouth, Medanzo ran and broke his leg, and he went back and forth several times in a few days, but fortunately, there was a great magician to control the shuttle, otherwise he would have to be tired to death, and the hero is not so easy to be.

Pharaoh hesitated because he also had illusions about the situation of the Great Army, and hoped that reinforcements from the direction of the city-state of the headland would arrive as soon as possible. At the same time that Medanzo was flying around, another war broke out in the desert, and the reinforcements that rushed to the city-state of the headland were routed and unable to cross the lines of the Hatian army to join the pharaohs. The Eju army was about to run out of food and water, and there were not even many arrows left to fight.

Pharaoh finally decided to bow his head, and at the same time, several other things also caused Hati to be worried, and he decided to negotiate peace as soon as possible.

According to the secret report, the Kingdom of Barron is gathering troops in the city-state of Uruk, and the Uruk legion led by Gilgamesh seems to be moving, but it is not known what target it is targeting. Barron was a city-state of the United Kingdom, and all the legions were named after the city-states, with the Uruk legions, led by Gilgamesh and Enkidu, being the most powerful.

On the other hand, two legions had been assembled in Eju, one of which was already on its way to the city-state of the headland, and the other Osiris legion, a navy, had already appeared at the mouth of the Ronnie River. Although these two legions could not come to the rescue of the Pharaoh's army, if they were to fight, Harti would pay a great price.

The Legion of Gabe and Osiris was originally the main force to defend the northern and southern coasts of the Empire respectively, but this time half of the troops were left in place, and the other half of the troops were replenished from the garrisons of the city-states, and the reorganized army was formed. This is a bit different from Amun's chess in the sand table, where Eju's follow-up army is in a posture of advancing by land and sea.

There is also news that worries the king of Hati the most, and there are rumors that have reached the capital of the king of Hati. It is said that King Lucier was assassinated before the battle, and Goret plotted to install Prince Asher on the throne and return to the royal capital with a great victory. However, Luciel was held hostage by Amon, and he could not publicly appear in front of the army to refute the rumors, and it was impossible for him to return to the royal capital to stabilize the situation for the time being. Prince Ennis is also arranging a response, and the political situation in Harti is full of uncertainties.

Both sides had their own difficulties, and neither side could drag it out any longer, and after seven or eight round-trip trips, Medanzo finally decided to negotiate peace. Eju made a condition that the An-La legion join the Pharaoh's army with heavy supplies, and that the Hatti army should not be hindered along the way. Goret agreed, and at the same time ordered the Nannar army to also march east to join the army.

So there was a bizarre march between the two countries, with the elite of the An-La Army opening the way and the heavy troops escorting the logistics team eastward through the desert. Not far to the north, on the edge of the desert and steppe, the Nannar legions also marched hand in hand, staring at each other to death.

The chief priest, George, had returned, and was walking with the baggage team behind, but the commander of the legion, Amun, was not there, and it was General John who led the guards to clear the way. The front units of the two legions met several times on the march, and although there was no fighting, there was no shortage of verbal battles. The commander of the opposing legion, Orebain, sarcastically ridiculed John and the others for only hiding in the rear and letting the commander take risks, and engaging in the despicable deeds of kidnapping and hijacking when the battle is unfavorable.

John replied unceremoniously: "It's not that I haven't fought, I know who wins and who loses! If you are not convinced, none of us should rely on backup, just set up a battle formation in the desert, we are not afraid of you!" These are of course angry words, but if these two legions really fight, the current Allah legion is indeed not afraid of each other at all.

The king, escorted by heavy guards, walked north of the Nannar Legion, and he also had two personal "bodyguards". The king sat in the carriage, and Medanzo stood straight, with a short blade in his hand right behind him. There were no other guards in the chariot, and the master who set up the chariot was Amun.

The great magician Celia did not ride in the chariot, but followed on horseback, and she advised Amun: "Legionnaire, why do you want to be a charioteer yourself?"

Amon replied with a smile: "I have personally seen Enqidu, the first warrior on the mainland, drive for Gilgamesh, so why should I drive for His Majesty the King today? It was I who held the king hostage, and it was I who proposed the peace talks, and of course I had the responsibility to personally send the king to the venue of the negotiations." ”

Celia reminded, "Don't forget the agreement between us. ”

Amun: "Are you talking about a duel? I am too anxious, I will command my legions to withdraw to Eju, and when everything is settled, I will send an envoy to you, and I will make a special appointment for the time and place of the duel, and I will not break my word." ”

...... The venue for the peace talks was ready, and two large tents were erected in the desert, twenty feet apart from each other. Tables and seats were placed outside the big tent gates, and everyone negotiated face-to-face, while the army retreated into the distance. Just in case, the great magicians on both sides arranged an extremely powerful defensive magic array in the big tent.

The edge of the junction of the Divine Array is in the middle of the clearing, and if you break through this boundary, any abnormal movement will be attacked by powerful forces.

On the side of Eju, there are the Legion Leader Long Teng, the Chief Priest Wald, the Front Commander Long Ying, the Chief Priest of the Horus Legion, the Front Commander Van Breez, the Chief Priest of the An-La Legion, George, the Front Commander John, and the important guards around the Pharaoh, a total of more than a dozen people.

Lacis II sat in the middle, and with the exception of Pharaoh himself and John, the rest of the people were all great sorcerers or great warriors. The commanders of each legion and the great sorcerers had seats, and the rest of the samurai stood with swords, and there was an empty seat in the front row.
