Amon had no seats. After saluting to all the adults in turn, he stood in the center of the hall waiting to ask questions. The first question was Eisen. This minister of Emperor and the minister of state was also a legion commander in his early years and had great experience in marching and fighting. He asked Amon many questions, and the young warrior answered questions. Military cannot be talked about in vain. Lord Amon ordered people to bring maps, sand tables and various military exercises to let Amon simulate on-site actual combat commands such as organizing marches and setting up battle formations. Amon also did a good job without any flaws.

The assessment lasted for a whole day, and after lunch, the high priest Su Sijia of the royal capital also played a game of military formation beast fighting chess with Amon, using a real military exercise sand table, and the result was also very satisfactory.

The assessment continued the next morning. The seven adults asked various questions, some of which were beyond the military scope. Amon tried his best to answer, and then took the order to retreat and wait for the result. The seven adults began to negotiate, but Maria did not speak. The final opinion was three to three, with the same number of support and opposition. Those who agreed to Amon as commander of the legion were Eisen, Wald and George, while those who opposed were Suska, Daya Tuyan and Burke.

In addition to Amon's never had experience in commanding warfare, the opinions of the opponents were mainly because of his origin. Amon was once a resident of Duke Town, a territorial territory of the Hati Kingdom. Whether he could guarantee absolute loyalty to the Eju Empire during the war was a question. The two sides were in stalemate, and in the end it was still up to the opinions of the Saint.

Maria pondered: "Through these two days of assessment, there is no question whether Amon is suitable to be the commander of the An-La Legion. We all know in our hearts that this legion will not participate in the real main decisive battle, but will only carry out coordinated alert and cover tasks. Amon is fully competent. No one has any objection to this, right?"

No other six people expressed their opposition, and Maria said, "As for whether this man is loyal, have you ever heard of his deeds? His actions are enough to prove his noble character, which is why I recommend him. This man is indeed a miner from Duke Town, and he gave the tears of the gods and his relics of Nero.

I think you may not be unclear about what kind of changes have Duke Town experienced? Besides, all his tribe members are in the hands of the empire. The latest news is that King Hati claims to have obtained Enriel's oracle. Have you heard of this oracle? What would you think if you were Amon?"

There is another episode here, about the latest updates about the Hati Kingdom. According to King Lucill and the Hati Academy of Divine Arts, the great god Enriel has brought down the latest oracle: he used his divine power to launch the flood, not only punished and expelled the sinners, washed away the sins on the earth, but also gave the people thousands of miles of fertile land. There will be a blessing land for the gods, and instructed the people to reclaim fertile land and build a prosperous and peaceful home.

The oracle was spread throughout the kingdom, and the people were in full swing, especially those unemployed wanderers, wandering explorers, and farmers from some barren cities and states of the empire cheered. People rushed into the temple like a tide to thank God Enrile for the blessing, and vowed to take the fertile soil given by the gods as a sacred cause. The altar was filled with flowers and various precious tributes, and everyone was praising the greatness, kindness and solemnity of the gods.

Amid this boiling cheer, there was a group of forgotten people who could only silently feel sad, the miners of Duke Town. They were already sinners who were punished by gods and rejected by the people of the kingdom. The dead people, whether innocent or guilty, knew nothing. But what do the descendants who still live in the world feel in their hearts?

It is impossible for Amon to return to the kingdom of Enriel as the Lord God. Even if he wants to, he cannot tolerate him there! What's more, the surviving tribesmen in Duke Town are all in the Eju Empire, and Amon cannot and has no reason to betray him.

In fact, not only Enriel had oracles, but not long ago, Pharaoh of Eju and the high priests of the main temple of Horus also received the oracle of the Horus King God. The great god Horus claimed that a thousand miles of fertile soil would appear in the center of the Tianshu continent, which was a symbol of the cruelty and evil spirits of the foreign gods, and it would also be the entire territory for the great Eju Empire to establish the eternal achievements. He called on his people to go there to establish the homeland of the Eju people and build a real temple, so that the glory of the gods would shine on the continent.

This oracle became the supreme holy intention of Rassis II to launch a war, and the Pharaoh himself decided to lead the expedition. He had planned this battle for a long time, and the ability to open up a new territory in the central part of the mainland could realize the greatest ambition of the Pharaoh's life. This oracle had not been officially released to the people of Egypt, but it would spread throughout the country when the army officially set off. At that time, the people of Egypt would also pour into the temple to cheer and praise the sacredness and greatness of the gods and the pharaohs.

The situation is as Gore said to Amon—“It can be predicted that the disputes there will be disputes of gods, and people drive their desires in the name of God.”

The Saint mentioned the oracle of the foreign god Enriel and the past of Duke Town, and everyone could not refute it. Perhaps in order to dispel everyone's doubts, Maria looked around and smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although the commander of the legion is the highest commander of the legion, according to the law of the empire, the chief priest of the legion is responsible for supervising the military and supervising the war. If the commander of the legion wants to mobilize the priest, he must obtain the consent of the main priest. We only need to choose a trustworthy master to serve as the chief priest of the legion, and it will be foolproof."

At this time, George, the high priest of the Temple of Isis, smiled bitterly: "Marching is a chore for the great magician, let alone the main priest of the Allah Legion. It is either just a decoration or thankless. I think not many people will be willing to do so. Thanks to the trust and promotion of the Saint, I recommend me as the high priest of the Temple of Isis. This time I volunteer to be the main priest of the Anah Legion. I have no other requests, I just hope that the Empire's Military Affairs Department, the Ministry of Finance and the City-Country of Mengfeisi can provide enough support, and do not send a miscellaneous army with a casual attitude."

Things settled, and Amon officially served as the commander of the Imperial Regiment. Although it was just a temporary miscellaneous army, his status was placed there after all, and his identity was equivalent to the deputy commander of a city-state. The next period of time would have been a lot of work to deal with after taking office. He even regretted sending Aesop away too early.

In formal operations, the legion commander usually cannot go directly to the front line to rush. He is the commander of the entire army. If an accident occurs, it is easy to cause the defeat of the entire front line. Therefore, a front line commander is needed to fight on the front line. Now this position is also vacant. Maria asked Amon to select himself. If she really couldn't find a suitable person, she agreed to send Gabriel.

From this we can also see that His Majesty Pharaoh did not attach importance to the An-La Legion at all. Although the Military Affairs Committee formulated a marching plan for coordinated combat, flanking alert and cover, this miscellaneous legion was actually dispensable in Pharaoh's mind. The army led by his commander in person was invincible.

But Amon himself had to pay attention to it. Gabriel was the most important arm support around Maria, so he naturally could not easily take Gabriel away. Moreover, the status of this great guardian warrior was high, and Amon could not command it at will. After all, Amon still lacked enough foundation and prestige, and it was difficult to find a commander in front who was completely loyal and obedient to him.

After thinking for a long time, Amon applied to Meng Feisi City State, and recommended and promoted one person, namely the captain of He Lieshan, the sixth-level warrior John, who was once punished to be released.

As the highest commander of the legion, although one cannot rely solely on his own force to win the battle, in the minds of the soldiers, the strength and charm of the commander are still part of his prestige. Therefore, the commander of the Emperor's regiment is usually a great warrior, and situations like Rhode Dick are just special cases.

Amon is already a great warrior, but his strength has not been truly demonstrated, and it is difficult to convince the noble generals who came from Aju. John, the captain of He Lieshan, is an exception. He has been obedient to Amon and has also received teaching and guidance from Amon. This time, Amon's recommendation was again, and he promoted him from the desolate He Lieshan to the legion, so he would naturally be willing to obey orders.

In addition to the commander in front, Amon also has a job that he must handle by himself, which is to form a personal guard. The legion has this organization, but it must be personally organized by the legion commander himself. The number of personal guards is not large, but it is the most elite force, and his duty is to protect the legion commander himself. Whether it is charging to kill the enemy or breaking through and running away, the personal guard must follow the legion commander closely. The personal guard captain is also directly appointed by the legion commander himself, and others have no right to command.

The personal guard is equivalent to a small independent private army, with no more than a hundred people. Although the army also distributes weapons and military pay, the legion commander often pays them out of his own pocket to equip them with more sophisticated weapons and usually gives them more generous rewards. After all, this is related to Amon's own safety. The personal guard not only needs absolute loyalty, but also the courage to protect the commander to the death.

If it is other officers, there are various conditions and restrictions for appointing them, but the appointment of the captain of the guards is the final decision of the commander of the guards himself. No one will interfere, even if it is possible to hire a wandering warrior. Because of this, Amon directly appointed Medanzo, a wandering warrior from Barron, as the captain of the guards. As for the members of the guards, let Medanzo choose the best among the soldiers of the army.

The great merchant Siou of Mengfeisi City finally met the newly promoted commander of the legion, Lord Amon. Amon brought Medanzo to visit him in person, which made Siou flattered and stuttered in excitement. Amon came to reminisce about the past, and also brought the order from the Lord of Mengfeisi City, appoint Siou as the logistics qualiman of the An-La Legion, and asked him with a smile at the dinner table if he would like to do it.

Sio's face turned red, his head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and he said stutteringly: "I'm very willing! Lord Amon, I've long been looking forward to such a day, and you really haven't forgotten me!"

Sio is not a fool. He knew very well that even if a civilian businessman was rich, it would be difficult for him to have a noble status. He was the best opportunity in his life. Although there were certain risks in organizing the logistics of the legion, it would never be more dangerous than the soldiers on the front line. As long as he made contributions and was recommended by the legion commander, he might be given a noble status by Pharaoh Eju. Glory was only one aspect, and business would be much more convenient in the future.

There were naturally quarrestrial officials formally appointed by the Empire, responsible for the handover, statistics and dispatch of materials. Amon appointed Siou as the quarrestrial officials, mainly responsible for organizing convoys and caravans outside the corps and transporting supplies with the corps. He knew very well that the merchant had no other skills, but he was very good at doing this.

With the orders of the Pharaoh, the merchants of all city-states must first obey the dispatch of marching materials. Xiocha is quite familiar with this matter and is also the most suitable candidate that Amon can find.

The military officer was a fat man. During the war, he had the right to recruit military supplies from various city-states along the way, and then the imperial finance department settled the bill. There was no need to say much about the richness of the oil. Sio was grateful to Amon and, according to the "convention", respected Amon a large sum of money on the spot. This time he was generous and generous. Anyway, the wool came from the sheep and could earn many times in the future.

If you really want to talk about wealth, Amon is not short of money at all, so he smiled and refused on the spot. Seeing that Amon didn't accept it, Siou was so anxious that he sweated in his forehead. After begging for a long time, the captain of the guard Medanzo nodded and agreed to accept a gift, mainly to equip the personal guards of the Legion Commander with more excellent armor and weapons. These should have been paid out by Amon himself, and Siou generously did it.

As soon as all preparations were ready, Amon received an order from the empire to lead the An-La Legion to set off. He led fifty magicians and five thousand warriors along the east bank of the Nile River toward the seaside. The logistics and baggage team was divided into two parts, a small part was a convoy, responsible for daily supplies by land, and most were shipped on the ship along the Ronnie River to sea, following the army on the land, and the legion also sent warships to escort.

Although it was just a miscellaneous army that was not valued, it was majestic and majestic on the road. Amon's eighty personal guards were all armoured cavalry, and 5,000 soldiers were composed of chariot soldiers, archers and heavy infantrymen holding guns and shields. John led the cavalry to the front, and the light infantry phalanx walked at the end of the team. Looking from afar, the reflection of weapons and armor under the sun formed a sea of ​​stars.

Amon sat in a large and comfortable chariot, feeling quite emotional. When he first came to Mengfeisi City, he was chased all the way and almost died by the Ronnie River. Now when he left here, he has become a commander of the army commanding thousands of troops. What he really should be thanked is Maria, who was her silent help and guidance to him today.

Amon had no intention of fighting with the legions of the Hati Kingdom, but whether he participated or not, it would be inevitable. He just wanted to establish merits that were enough to pardon the people of Duke Town and be able to lead them back to their homes in the future. Amon knew very well that this war would not be the fertile land of thousands of miles. The swamps around Duke Town completely subsided and could accommodate large troops to station them. At least one or two years later, Pharaoh Eju was a little too anxious to launch an expedition at this time.

However, from the perspective of strategic layout, the Pharaoh's purpose was to first establish a camp base in the Inland Lake area so as to gain a favorable position in future disputes. As the flood completely retreats, he would take advantage of the situation to occupy the entire fertile field and become the new territory of the empire.

The Eju Pharaoh Rases II was confident in his crusades, and the power of the Eju Empire was recognized by all countries. There seems to be no doubt about the outcome of the war. Although Amon was among the army of the Eju Empire, he was not optimistic that Eju would win a great victory. The reason was very simple. He felt that Rases II looked too contempt for this war. This was a major event that concerns the life and death of many people, but in the eyes of Rases II, it was as casual as a game.

Amon didn't know what the Pharaoh thought of the enemy country, but at least Rases II lacked the due attention to the An-La Legion, which was cooperating with each other. It was like throwing a chariot that was about to fall apart and letting the legion follow him to fight. Amon finally equipped the parts on the chariot to make it run normally.

The Pharaoh thought he was unstoppable and leading the most elite army was enough to win, but such an important battle between countries exposed many problems in such a link. If Amon was the commander of the entire army, he would never have treated the An-La Legion so hasty, although the status of this legion might be very unimportant.

The speed of the large legion is not determined by how fast the carriages can run, but by whether the logistics supplies can keep up. The An-La legion's supply mainly relies on ships. Although the transport ship is equipped with long oars, the main driving force at sea is still sails. The legion is advancing steadily according to the established route, and Amon did not waste the opportunity to march along the coastline. Although it is unlikely that he will participate in the main decisive battle, he did not forget to practice the military formation along the way.

Although the cooperation between chariot soldiers, archers, spearmen, cavalry and infantry has been learned in military books and practiced on the sand table, Amon did not really start the war formation on the spot. During the marching break, Amon ordered the generals to command the soldiers under his command to take turns to practice the military formation, and he took Medanzo to conduct actual combat observation.

The An-La Legion was just formed and its previous training was very slack. However, the minimum requirement for being a formal legion warrior in the empire is also a first-level warrior who has practiced physical skills. The battles that these people should be really powerful in their true cooperation.

There is a custom or tradition in the Ejudi-Team team that the materials allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs and military pay will be intercepted by the superior in a certain proportion, and the rest will be distributed to soldiers. Needless to say, military pay can be sold for a lot of money if it is obtained on the market. This money can be used for personal use by the superior in personal use, and can be used for equipping personal guards, rewarding military achievements in the name of private, and bribing enemy personnel.

This interception ratio is generally accepted as a rule of 30%, and the remaining 70% is distributed to the soldiers below. However, the quality of equipment and the amount of military pay for those unvalued gangs is far from being compared with the elite legions of the Empire. The proportion of interception by the commander is often much larger. This will create a vicious cycle, making the legion's combat effectiveness lower.

Amon trained troops during the march, of course, increased the burden on the soldiers, but on the other hand, he also showed great generosity and selflessness. He personally did not intercept any military supplies distributed by the Imperial Affairs Department and the city-state, and allocated them to the soldiers. Amon only kept 10% of the military salaries that should have been controlled by him personally, and the remaining 90% were distributed to the soldiers in time, making the soldiers who had not made much hope.
