120, the victory of both sides

There were more than a dozen people on the side of Hathi, including Prince Ashe, Gere, Juguli, Zhanbe, Walt, Orebene, Afi, Aruka and others. In addition to Prince Ashe and Juguli, they were all great magicians or great warriors, but the seat in the middle was empty, and there was an empty seat next to it.

John, dressed in heavy armor, was very moved at this moment. He thought about the time when He Lieshan was far away, he would never have expected to stand here today! While thinking about this, he suddenly found that everyone turned their heads and looked in one direction. Even the Pharaoh couldn't help but stand up from his seat, and there was no one sitting in the audience.

A carriage slowly drove up from the sand dunes in the distance. King Lucille, wearing a golden crown, sat in the carriage. Medanzo had already put away his short blade and stood majestic beside the king with his chest pressing his sword. The person driving was a smiling young man, with a simple short knife hanging on his waist, wearing the dress of the legion commander but not wearing armor. He was Amon, the legendary hero who captured King Hati alive.

A beautiful woman was following along with a white horse with a staff in her hand. The wind blew away her cloak, her hair was flying in the sun, her fair face was very beautiful, but her expression was very serious. She was Celia, the king's accompanying magician.

Amon stopped the carriage very far away and helped the king walk down. Medanzo also completed his "guarding mission", first bowed to King Hati, turned around and walked through the magical array to the Eju tent, saluted to the Pharaoh, and walked to the side of John, standing next to the empty seat. Among all the people present, Medanzo had the lowest military rank or even no official title. He was only Amon's personal guard captain, but he was the person who showed the most faces in recent times.

Amon and Celia escorted Lucille to the Hati tent, one left and one right, and everyone here saluted to the king. The king nodded and turned around and sat in his position. His demeanor was very majestic, as if he had finally regained his feelings.

Amon stopped smiling, with a solemn expression pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist, and saluted in front of the king with one knee, "His Majesty the King, I have visited you for peace between the two countries. Thank you for your protection for so many days, and please forgive me for my offense and rudeness!"

Lucille smiled and waved his hand and said, "I admire your courage. You are a real warrior. I think the title of the number one warrior in the mainland should be given to you, not Enqidu. It is also your credit for being able to sit down and negotiate between the two countries. With this, it is enough to forgive any mistakes. Lord Legion, please go back and report."

Prime Minister Juguli came over and handed Amon a silver plate cast with a knife book, which read the terms of peace talks proposed by the Kingdom of Hati. There was also a relief emblem at the upper left corner of the silver plate, like a clover in the wind or a towering tree or a light that shot into the sky. It was the symbolic totem of the god Enrile.

Amon took the silver plate and stood up and walked towards the tent of Eju. He walked through the junction of the two divine art formations. He came to the Pharaoh and knelt down and saluted him. He raised the silver plate over his head and said, "Great Pharaoh, the commander of the Legion of An-La responded to you. The Kingdom of Hati has made a request for peace talks. Please check it out."

The Pharaoh waved his hand: "Amun, I don't know such words, please translate them."

He really didn't know him or he didn't know him. Only God knew that Amon knelt there and translated the contents of the silver plate. The knife books were usually written on clay boards, but on such an important occasion, the Kingdom of Hati specially prepared documents cast on the silver plates, with Enriel's emblem on it, indicating that he had swore in front of the gods.

After Amon finished reading, someone took the silver plate. Then the Pharaoh lowered his head and smiled: "Captain Amon Legion, my respected great warrior, I have heard of your name and noble and selfless character for a long time. This is the first time I have seen you myself. I didn't expect you to be so young! This time you led the Legion of An-La to make unprecedented achievements. After returning to Eju, you will offer the reward you want. Sit down first, my warrior."

Amon came to the empty seat and sat down. His mission was finally completed. He did not say a word during the entire peace talks, and he seemed quite low-key. The following time belonged to the Pharaoh and the King, Gere, Juguri, Zhanbe, Lee Quaid, Wald, Brez and others also participated in the discussion.

The real peace treaty naturally would not be just the three conditions. What surprised Amon was that the Pharaoh and the king became more and more relaxed. Later, the atmosphere was quite sensual. Finally, two gold plates were taken out, and Gelie and Li Kuid cast spells in public to engrave the first peace treaty in the history of the Tianshu Continent with clear written records.

Each gold plate is engraved with cursive script and knife script. The front is written with divine text and the back is written with secular text. In addition to Enrile's emblem, there is also an eagle's relief on the upper left of the cursive script, which is the emblem of Horus. The general content of this peace treaty is as follows-

1. The two countries live peacefully and do not invade each other. No one can send troops to attack each other's city-states.

2. When attacked by a third party, the two countries should provide each other with the best of their ability to resist their common enemies.

3. Delineate the boundary range. The Syrian desert and the Duke Plain are buffer zones. Explorers from both countries can enter and pay taxes to their respective city-states and countries.

4. The two countries promise to return the fugitives to the original owner.

The main content of the peace treaty is the above four items. The only thing that was formally written by Hathi's three conditions originally proposed was the first one. As for the other two, the separation from the status of the vassal state and the demolition of the Horus Temple in the territory, the formal provisions of the peace treaty were not written. Because there is no need to write it, as long as this peace treaty is signed, it is self-evident that Hathi's divorce from the status of the vassal state. As for whether to demolish the Horus Temple after returning, it is entirely their own business. Why should I write it on the gold plate to anger the gods?

The peace treaty also mentioned that the two countries would jointly resist foreign enemies, obviously targeting Assyria and Barron. If these two countries attacked left and right to compete for the fertile land of thousands of miles, Hati would be very uncomfortable. It would be better to bring a symbolic helper to avoid the dilemma of being besieged on three sides in the future. The fertile land now has its official name, called the Duke Plain.

Judging from the content of the peace treaty, explorers from both countries can enter the Duke Plain, either reclaiming wilderness, mining gold, or hunting monsters, and paying taxes to their respective countries. The Eju Empire gained the power to enter the Duke Plain, but in fact it is not very meaningful. Because from the Eju land to the Duke Plain, it requires crossing the Syrian desert thousands of miles. If people from both sides can enter freely, the Duke Plain will naturally be controlled by the Hati Kingdom.

As for the last one to return the fugitives to the original master, it was Pharaoh proposed to add it. Originally, they negotiated to return prisoners of war. In normal wars, prisoners of war would become slaves of the other party. Since it was a peace talk, all prisoners of war would have to be released back. The laws of both countries have clauses that the fugitive slaves are not allowed to be hidden. Pharaoh proposed to extend it in the peace treaty, so he added this one.

When Amon heard this last paragraph, he frowned slightly, but said nothing, because all the adults present agreed and no one sought Amon's opinions alone.

The two great magicians completed the characters on the spot. Each side kept one and took them back to the temple as a symbol of eternal existence. This battle of countless casualties and injuries ushered in a happy ending. Lasis II and King Lucier became more and more speculative. Perhaps in order to consolidate the alliance between the two countries, he made another request on the spot to marry King Lucier's daughter.

What's wrong with this? Amon frowned again, and when he looked at Celia opposite him, he looked a little unhappy. She was a royal nobleman, and the king's daughter was Celia's cousin. Pharaoh actually made this request. To Amon was surprised that Lucill agreed happily and agreed on the spot to marry. Now, Amon had taken the Pharaoh's father-in-law a while ago!

After the peace talks, an oval table was formed on the open space between the two large tents. People from both sides sat on the side and held a grand banquet. The tables were filled with fine wine and delicacies, which were rare delicacies in the world. Amon sat silently in a corner, watching the show finally come from climax to the end, and tried not to attract others' attention, but unexpectedly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Halfway through the wine, King Lucill of Hati suddenly raised his glass and said, "I suggest to our No. 1 warrior in mainland China, Amon, if it were not for his heroic behavior, there would not be such a happy and peaceful scene today! Amon, the army and people of both countries should thank you!"

The king had to drink the toast. Amon stood up and drank it all, and said humbly: "I am just a small army commander. I am just a first-time leader of the army to fight. I must not be the title of the No. 1 warrior on the mainland."

Zhan Bey, the chief magician of Hati Palace, also stood up and raised his glass and said, "Captain Amon Legion, don't be humble. Since the king said that, in the eyes of Hati's military and civilians, you are the number one warrior in the mainland! I think that Enqidu is known as the number one warrior in the mainland, but he is just a brave man. How could he have established such achievements as you?"

Amon had to continue drinking and explained: "I am just a level seven warrior. How can I compare with the Enqi who killed the gods? Please don't praise me!"

Prime Minister Joguli, Hati, also stood up with the cup: "Humility is a virtue, honesty is also a virtue. Your modesty cannot cover up our honesty. This is the evaluation we deserve. You are already a great warrior at such a young age. You can train a miscellaneous army into an elite army for the first time by leading troops. The future is limitless. With time, you are simply invincible. This is what is most admirable! After seeing your courage, I even doubt that there is something in this world that you dare not do?... Your Majesty Pharaoh, do you think?"

The king toasted the cup as if it was a signal. His ministers took turns to stand up to toast Amon. The more he spoke, he was getting higher and higher. Amon was sweating on his back. He held King Hati hostage, which was a great humiliation from the other party. These people could not hate him. Of course, they were malicious to say these words on such occasions, but they could not refute them. They were all toasting with a smile.

These high-ranking people are of course experts when it comes to power and tricks. Amon is the commander of the legion under the Pharaoh, and his victory is of course also the victory of the Pharaoh. But the Pharaoh's army was defeated, and only he won the battle and captured King Hati alive. These people only praised Amon in front of Pharaoh and other legion leaders, and this was to put him on fire and roast him.

Looking at Li Kuid, Long Teng and others' faces were all very awkward. When the Pharaoh heard the question, he smiled and raised his glass and replied: "I am very pleased that there is such a brave general in the empire. I also firmly believe that everyone here is as loyal and brave as Amon, toasting Amon and to the gods!"

Everyone on Eju raised their glasses to Amon, and Amon gritted his teeth and said, "Glory belongs to the great Pharaoh, to the guidance of the supreme god!" At the same time, a thought flashed in his heart: "The glory of guidance belongs to a cat."

After the banquet, both sides returned to the camp and withdrew their troops as agreed. The Pharaoh's army obtained the military supplies sent by the An-La Legion, and crossed the desert and returned to the army. He ordered the An-La Legion, which had a uniform army, to break the rear.

The peace agreement was signed, and both sides declared that it was their own victory, and they would engrave the psalms on the stone pillars of the temple to praise the achievements of the gods and the kings. As Hathi side, it was natural to declare a great victory, because they broke away from their vassal states, defeated the pharaoh's army, forced the other side to sign a non-aggressive peace treaty, and became an offensive and defensive alliance with an equal status. When the temple of Horus was demolished, the glory of the king and the gods reached its peak.

Rassis II also claimed that this was his own victory. He launched a large army expedition, captured the opponent's king alive, forced Hathi to first propose peace talks, and signed an alliance agreement, turning a potential enemy for decades into an ally, and symbolically gaining the interests in the Duke Plain.

This war also made the other two famous, namely Gelie and Amon.

Hati's army was commanded by Gelie, who led the military and civilians to defeat the powerful Eju Empire, and he personally negotiated to rescue the hostage king and achieved all goals. Gelie's prestige in the Syrian city-state is no longer greater, and now he has received warm praise throughout Hati's country.

After withdrawing his troops, Gore resigned from his temporary position as commander of the legion and no longer commanded the army. The position of commander-in-chief of the front line no longer existed with the end of the war. The king gave him the heaviest reward and planned to give him the highest glory, and wanted to appoint Gore as the chief high priest of the main temple of Enriel, that is, the chief high priest of the entire Hati Kingdom.

There are three ninth-level masters in the Kingdom of Hati, namely Gere, and Zhanbe and Jonah, the chief high priest of the original Enriel Temple. This time the king wanted to appoint Gere to replace Jonah. Whether he was willing or not, he had no higher rewards. In this national war, Gere was somewhat of accused of being too powerful to shock the Lord.

The Prime Minister of the Empire, Juguli, was a supporter of Gorey. The reason was very simple, because his nephew Raphael was Gorey's favorite student. This relationship made Juguli think that Gorey should be a political alliance with him, and appointing him as the chief high priest of the kingdom was also the prime minister's suggestion.

Unexpectedly, Gelie himself refused and still asked to stay in the Syrian city-state as a main priest. If someone else was to do this, it would be ungrateful. How could the king's appointment be refused? But with Gelie's identity and prestige, he had enough capital to reject the king's kindness and make his own requests.

The king agreed and gave the Syrian city-state a generous reward, exempting it from its three-year tax, and appointing Gere as the chief veteran of the Hati Divine Arts Academy. This is a glorious symbolic position, with a status comparable to that of the kingdom's chief high priest, but does not hold real power.

As Gelie, he could already act according to his will, but the young legion commander Amon did not have the capital. This battle made Amon's prestige at the peak of his prestige, but his situation was quite subtle. His qualifications were too shallow and his contributions were too great. If the light was too dazzling, it would make the defeated generals lose their faces.

I don’t know if Amon’s prestige in the legion exceeds that of the gods, but when his soldiers answered other people’s questions, they proudly replied: “Amon Legion!” without mentioning the name of the god “An-La”. Among the people, people also habitually call An-La the Legion the Armen Legion.

These are all later stories. At this moment, Amon, who led his army to retreat through the desert, was only thinking about one thing. Pharaoh had promised in public that he would like to reward after returning to Eju, although he proposed it. Amon only wanted Pharaoh to release the tribesmen of Duke Town, and he would guide them to return to his hometown. Link's tribe had almost prepared the preliminary work. Moses and others could immediately build their homes after returning. There was a good foothold in the center of Duke Plain.

The merits he made were enough to make Pharaoh agree to such a request. Mary once reminded him of how to achieve his wish, and Amon did it!

The road to withdrawal was peaceful, and the morale of An-La's army was high, and the distance was clear and the armor was clear. Compared to leaving Eju, it was a completely different place. Looking at the commander of the front line, John, who rode on the horse, he was a majestic imperial general. But strangely, Medanzo, who has always been majestic, seemed very silent, and he was thinking along the way, and he almost didn't joke.

Amon had a similar experience, but Medanzo broke through this state of mind through another way and finally became a great warrior and a great magician. When he just passed this threshold, he really needed to experience the unprecedented feeling, as if he had entered a brand new world.

Amon is also a level seven-level magician and a great warrior. Now his successor, Medanzo, has achieved the same achievement. Amon is not jealous at all, but is very happy. At this time, he urgently needs masters around him.

Retreat is not a battle, and the army was not moving fast. It only took half a month to reach the border pass of the Cape City State. Amon met the city lord of the Cape City State, and the commander of the Sett Legion, Rhode Dick. Rhode Dick, was really unlucky this time. Ann La's army won three battles, while the Sett Legion led by him had three battles and three defeats.
