Amon shook his head and said, "If you want me to put down my weapon here, there is only one possibility. That is, your guards will kill me. But before that, they will definitely kill Your Majesty by mistake. So in order to protect you, I can't put down my weapon. Before Your Majesty makes a request, let me make a request first. Invite the person outside in. "
…
Under the "escort" of a team of guards, Medanzo walked in proudly. He held his sword and stood behind Amon. He behaved like a loyal guard captain. Looking at his chest out and his head held high, it was as if he was accompanying the commander to inspect his army. But his eyes kept staring at the two beauties on the bed. He held his sword and whispered in Amon's ear, "My god, you are so amazing. I knew you would definitely catch the King, but I didn't expect you to bring such a beautiful scene to the table."
Then he waved his hand and said to the people around him, "You servants, how can you watch the Princess's erotic body? You have no manners at all. Quickly cover your faces and leave. His Majesty also needs to wear clothes. It is not suitable to stay here any longer. Get us a good tent. Do you want His Majesty to sleep naked in the open in the middle of the night? "
As he spoke, Medanzo had already taken over Amon's position. He hung his sword back at his waist and pulled out his dagger. He gently tapped the back of the chair behind King. Amon put away his dagger and reached out to take a branch out of thin air. He took two steps forward and pointed to the surroundings, saying, "I am sorry, I have been rude. How can I treat His Majesty and the two Princesses like this? Please fetch the King's clothes and help the two concubines leave this place to have a good rest. Also, help us change into a comfortable tent. "
He flicked the branch, and the two bed boards on the table flew up as if they were carried by an invisible hand in the air and landed in the courtyard outside. Only then did Celia see clearly that the "branch" in Amon's hand was a magic staff. This legion commander also knew magic and was quite skilled at using magic.
The King's personal attendants were very efficient. The palace maids carried the bed boards and the two Princesses away and set up a gorgeous tent made of animal skin. Naturally, the King had a special tent and bedding for his travels. Amon and Medanzo "guarded" Lucier. They only said that the King was tired and frightened and needed to rest. They would talk tomorrow. Then they closed the tent.
The palace guards surrounded the tent. Amon and Medanzo could not escape. However, no one outside dared to rush in because the King's life was in the hands of the assassins. No one knew how the King and the assassins were "resting". Anyway, the rest of the people in the camp would not be able to sleep. They could only wait for dawn anxiously and guess what the two assassins wanted to do.
The supreme commander of the camp temporarily became the supreme mage accompanying the King, Celia. She could not make the decision for such a big thing. She immediately sent someone to send a secret report to the legion commander and chief priest of the Army of Nanar, as well as the frontline headquarters of the main battlefield. At present, this news could only be known to the top leaders of the frontline. Apart from that, it had to be strictly sealed and could not be leaked. Otherwise, the morale of the army would be shaken.
Of course, Celia had to ask the supreme warrior Affi, who was guarding the door of the tent, how could he let the assassins catch the King? Affi also had a bellyful of grievances. Medanzo made a lot of noise outside and finally attracted the attention of Celia. When she went out to cast magic in an attempt to capture 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 tent where the King slept. The King's tent had three entrances. The front tent was the usual place for meetings and banquets. Affi guarded the front tent with his personal guards. The middle accounting room was the King's bedroom. There was another accounting room at the back, which was guarded by the servants of the King. Outside the back tent, there were two mages and a group of guards.
When Celia made her move, the fierce battle outside the camp attracted everyone's attention. Amon suddenly made his move on the side of the King's tent. With one move, he split the entire tent in half, but the people inside were unharmed. It was hard to describe how amazing this move was. The dagger Amon used was not made of the snake's fangs, but the dagger given to him by Mayor Dusti when he left Duc a few years ago.
Amon snuck in without a sound, but when he attacked, he did not hide it at all. It was a knife used by hunters in the mountains, but it shone with a dazzling light, like a rainbow in the night sky. From afar, Amon swung the knife and cut the tent, which was more than ten feet wide, in half, making a sharp sound. The separated tent was rolled to both sides by a force, covering all the people in front and behind the tent.
As a supreme warrior, Affi naturally would not be entangled by the fallen tent. When Amon waved his dagger, he reacted. He opened the tent with his sword and rushed in, appearing next to the King. He was closer to the tent. Although he was delayed, he rushed into the tent faster than Amon.
But as soon as he rushed in, Amon, who was also rushing over, raised his staff. The bed board that the King slept on was split into two halves. Two naked concubines lying on it were thrown towards Affi. Affi's duty was to protect the King and the concubines. He had already raised his sword, but his subconscious reaction was not to slash out. Instead, he used the tip of the sword to pick up the two bed boards very delicately, and they fell smoothly on the table in the front tent. The two frightened concubines were unharmed.
When he raised his sword to attack again, Amon also rushed forward, waving his staff with a whistling sound. This was the power that only a supreme warrior could stimulate. The long sword and the iron staff collided, and the sound was like muffled thunder. It was Affi who flew out.
If Affi had blocked the staff with all his strength, he might not have been shaken so far, but the King was lying between the two of them. Lucier deserved to be unlucky today. He had a good time during the day, and he was in a good mood after drinking some wine at night. He was in bed with the two concubines in his arms when suddenly there was a sharp whistling sound, and he saw the stars in the sky naked.
The King and the beauties were fighting, and the others did not dare to disturb them, so they were not too close to the middle tent. Amon used spatial magic to accurately split the bed board, and threw the two concubines towards the supreme warrior Affi. Lucier fell to the ground between the two cracked bed boards, and then looked up to see a sword and a staff clashing above his body.
If the power of the two supreme warriors broke out in a head-on collision, the King, who was nearby and had no shelter, would be killed several times by the aftermath of the sword light. So Affi could not take it head-on, so he was knocked out. When he smashed the big iron stove in the courtyard and got up and rushed back, the others had already jumped out from under the tent. Celia and Arouca also arrived, but the King had already fallen into Amon's hands.
… …
The commander of the Army of Nanar, Orrebén, and the chief priest, Vivian, were shocked when they received the news. When they heard that the assassins turned out to be the commander of the An-Ra Legion, Amon and his guard captain, Medanzo, they suddenly realized when the two men had crossed the line of defense and entered the rear. It was during the inexplicable attack two days ago.
Goliath had already warned Amon that he was the most familiar with the terrain and environment in this area. But Orrebén never dreamed that Amon, as the commander of the legion, would quietly infiltrate the enemy's line of defense with only one follower, avoiding all the sentries and scouts, and accurately touch the King's camp. Then, he successfully took the King hostage.
If anything happened to the King here, not only would the accompanying guards not be able to escape the blame, but Orrebén and Vivian would also have to bear the consequences. Even if they achieved a great victory on the battlefield, they could not make up for such a mistake. Moreover, the Army of Nanar did not win the battle at all.
After receiving the secret report, Orrebén immediately ordered the entire army to defend the camp and the line of defense. They were not allowed to take the initiative to attack. He and Vivian took the elite guards and rushed to the King's camp on horseback. In truth, the king's guards were more than enough to deal with the two assassins. No matter how many people they sent, it would be pointless. However, Orbene had no choice but to do so. He had to act like a loyal protector.
…
On the side of the An-Ra Legion, the chief priest, George, was anxiously waiting for news. The fate of Amon and Medanzo was unknown. They would decide the fate of the entire war. Amon had said his plan. Even if he could not capture the King Hittite, he could still disrupt the enemy's battle arrangement and disturb the Army of Nanar in the rear. Only then would the An-Ra Legion have the opportunity to carry out Pharaoh's order to rescue the main battlefield.
The risk of two people was better than the death of 20,000 people. Amon gave the order as the commander of the legion and did not bring a priest with him. The chief priest, George, had the responsibility of supervising the army, but in the end, he reluctantly nodded and did not stop Amon's action.
Orrebén and Vivian suddenly left the camp with the elite guards and rushed to the edge of the Charcoal Marsh in the northeast. Naturally, they did not hide from George's investigation. The supreme mage could not help but be secretly delighted. It seemed that Amon's action had succeeded. At the same time, he was also very worried. He did not know the situation of Amon and Medanzo. It was almost impossible for them to escape.
The only help that George could provide was to exert pressure on the battlefield, and the An-Ra Legion had long been ready to attack. George and John immediately led the main force of the legion to the north to attack the camp of the Army of Nanar. If it had been a few days ago, the An-Ra Legion would never have taken such a military action, but now the situation had changed.
In the last battle of pursuit and attack on the camp, the Army of Nanar had underestimated the enemy and attacked too fiercely. The battle was not successful and their morale was damaged. They had not yet rested, not to mention that the commander was not there. The order they received was to defend to the death. The An-Ra Legion had just won three battles and their morale was high. The confidence of the soldiers who had never fought a war before had reversed. No matter what kind of enemy they encountered, they would dare to fight, let alone take the initiative to attack the defeated.
The An-Ra Legion sent out all the elites and launched a fierce attack on the Army of Nanar. This time, it was really equivalent to tying people to a tree and beating them. George did not attack rashly, but set up a battle formation, chose a main direction of attack, and steadily advanced step by step. Since the other party did not take the initiative to attack, this fierce battle scene looked like a drill to attack a camp. John calmly mobilized the various troops to cooperate and launched round after round of attacks.
Just when Orrebén was halfway there, he heard that the camp was under attack. He was in a dilemma, so he gritted his teeth and continued to march to the King's camp. He sent someone to pass on the message that they must rely on the fortifications to defend to the death. George's purpose was not to attack the camp, but to use the strategic advantage to severely damage the enemy's strength. Therefore, he did not attack the fortress and the strong fortifications. He only chose to attack the weak links on the defense line. The Army of Nanar had paid a lot of casualties in order to defend the gap in the defense line.
The battle lasted for a day. The An-Ra Legion, who was the main attacker, had also suffered hundreds of casualties. However, they managed to attack a corner of the Army of Nanar's camp and achieved a brilliant result. They burned a lot of tents and a lot of military supplies. Before Orrebén and Syah's backup troops arrived to reinforce them, they withdrew their troops and returned to the camp. At the same time, they brought back a lot of spoils of war.
After this battle, on this flank battlefield, the combat effectiveness, morale, and initiative of attack and defense between the two armies had been reversed. After suffering two heavy losses, the Army of Nanar was no longer able to take the initiative to fight back against the An-Ra Legion. They could only passively adopt a defensive position.
There was another rumor that made the Hittite soldiers shudder. The An-Ra Legion shouted a slogan when they attacked, "The King of Hittite has been captured alive by our great legion commander, Amon. The Hittite Army is about to be defeated. Your legion commander has already rushed to the King to surrender. Why don't you surrender now?"
Such a rumor was unbelievable, but they had to be suspicious. The legion commander and the chief priest left in a hurry and only ordered to defend to the death. The battle was so fierce, but they did not come back to preside over the overall situation. Something big must have happened. Was the King really captured alive? If the King was captured by the enemy, then the main force of the Hittite Army must have been defeated.
A day later, Orrebén returned and immediately ordered severe punishment for those who spread the rumor in the army, but panic shrouded the hearts of many soldiers like a lingering shadow, but they did not dare to speak out publicly.
Why did Orrebén come back? He was under the orders of Djuguli, the prime minister of the Empire and the minister in charge of military affairs, and Goliath, the commander-in-chief of the frontline. Half a day after he arrived at the King's camp, Goliath personally drove a shuttle and arrived with Lord Djuguli.
… …
Goliath received the news that the King had been kidnapped very suddenly. Before the news came, he was discussing the frontline with Prince Asher, who was supervising the battle on behalf of the King, Djuguli, the prime minister of the kingdom who was commanding the Enlil Legion, the chief priest of the Enlil Legion, Walter, the chief priest of the Legion of Anu, and others.
Zhanbie was an elder of the Hittite Academy of Magic, the chief mage of the palace, and also a ninth-level supreme mage. There were only three ninth-level supreme mages in the Hittite Kingdom, and two of them had come to the frontline this time. It could be said that all the elites had come.
Zhanbie frowned and said: "His Majesty the King's latest order is to urge us to launch the main attack and destroy the main force of the Eygut Army as soon as possible. It would be best if we can capture Lasith Ii alive and establish an unprecedented achievement in the history of Hittite. Lord Goliath, you, as the commander-in-chief of the frontline, have been holding back for so long, and His Majesty the King is very anxious. "
Goliath smiled bitterly. "Of course I understand His Majesty the King's feelings. Everyone wants to achieve the final victory as soon as possible, but if we launch the main attack now, the Eygut Army will be fighting like a cornered beast, and their fighting power in despair cannot be underestimated. Although we can achieve victory, the price will be great. As long as we are besieged for another half a month, the Hittite Army will win without a fight, and they will neither have the strength to counterattack, nor will they be able to retreat through the desert. "
Prince Asher nodded. "Lord Goliath's command of this war is simply divine. The Eygut Army has been led by the nose by us, and the development of the war to this point is completely in line with our original expectations. His Majesty the King is indeed a little too impatient. He has waited for many years for this great victory, and of course he wants to capture Lasith Ii. The Pharaohs Of Eygut have become the prisoners of the King of Hittite, and they will be able to wash away the shame of a hundred years. I will send an envoy to explain the specific situation of the battlefield to His Majesty the King, and all of you should act according to plan. "
Goliath added with a smile. "I suggest that Your Highness add another explanation. If you want to capture Pharaoh alive, he will definitely escape when the main attack is launched. Although the experts around him cannot lead the army to retreat, they can protect one person to escape back to the Eygut Army. The reason why Pharaoh has not left yet is because the main force of the army is trapped in the desert, and he is waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. "
Djuguli also analyzed. "I hope that Pharaoh escapes as soon as possible, which means that he has given up on the war, and the army that is besieged by us will collapse without a fight, and victory will come sooner. Pharaoh staying in the army is a symbol that the Eygut Army will continue to send reinforcements here. The reinforcements may come from two directions, one is the reinforcements from the Cape States, and the other is the An-Ra Legion from the coastline. "
Prince Asher nodded. "The strength of the Eygut Empire is strong, and in order to turn the tide of the war, it is entirely possible to invest another two legions."
Walter interjected cautiously. "In my opinion, the longer Pharaoh does not escape, and the longer the war is delayed, the better it is for Hittite. If Pharaoh leaves, and we destroy the Horus Legion and the Legion of Isis, although we can inflict heavy damage to Eygut and achieve a temporary victory, it will not shake the foundation of the Eygut Empire. With Lasith Ii's temper, he will definitely reorganize his army and make a comeback. Even if it is not for the sake of conquering the fertile land, it will be for the dignity of the Empire of Eygut and his face.
In that case, the war will not end, and regardless of whether we win or lose in the future, we will have to pay a heavy price. If we surround the Empire of Eygut and do not attack now, we will attract the reinforcements of the Empire of Eygut to fight under unfavorable conditions, trap the main force of Pharaoh, and only attack his reinforcements, and destroy them all in the desert. This will cause the Empire of Eygut to be unable to launch an expedition for a long time, and peace will truly come. "
