221, I want a country and a beauty

Today, Semir is already a level nine warrior. There is no way to know who taught her martial arts. People speculate that it was taught by her husband. Her husband is not King Sinach, but Semir's ex-husband, a kingdom general.

The kingdom general was stationed in the city-state on the western border of Assyrian. At that time, Assyria often had conflicts with the nomadic people on the border, and Semir also followed her husband to fight. As king, Sinach also made great achievements in his early years. Once when he led a large army to resist foreign invasions, Semir's husband was also in the army, and Semir secretly wore armor and followed her husband to the battlefield.

During the fierce battle, Semir's helmet was accidentally picked up by the enemy. She was flying with her hair, and she stabbed a general on the other side with a shuttle gun. Sinach, who was commanding the battle, happened to see this scene. With this amazing glance, the sound of fighting on the battlefield seemed to be gone, and there was only this beautiful girl in his eyes.

Shortly after the war, Semir's husband was impeached and executed. Semir disappeared for a while. When she appeared again half a year later, she had become the Assyrian queen. That year she was only seventeen years old.

No one in the kingdom dared to discuss this matter publicly. Some people privately said that she was a woman who was vain and powerful. Some sympathizers defended Semir. Under the threat of the king, a girl had to surrender. But then again, who in the widow in this kingdom was unwilling to become a queen?

Gore told the results of his investigation, and finally lowered his voice: "No one knew what happened half a year after Semir's ex-husband died until she became queen. But Faust once told me that Semir's marriage to the king might be related to oracles, and he was definitely subject to some kind of coercion. Now she is a level nine warrior, and now she can make a new choice if she could not do anything before."

Faust's experience is no secret, but Queen Semir's legend is quite shocking. Gilgamesh was about to speak, but Amon suddenly closed his eyes as if he was listening to some news. After a while, Amon opened his eyes and said, "I heard the latest news in the prayers of everyone. Gilgamesh, this news may have something to do with you."

Gilgamesh shook his head and said, "I have given up everything and found the meaning of life in the wandering world. Is there any news related to me?"

Amon said to Gere again: "This latest news may be helpful to our plan."

Gelie also shook his head: "Among, I know you are a god and have methods that mortals cannot do, so don't get your appetite, talk about it quickly!"

Amon said slowly: "The Great Emperor of Sinach did expand himself to the extreme. The Kingdom of Baron had ceded six city-states. He was not satisfied. He actually sent an envoy to order Hammorabi II, King of Baron. He wanted to marry Princess Xiaoxi, and said that if Princess Xiaoxi did not agree, he would gather a large army to capture the two city-states of the Kingdom of Baron. Because he was afraid of the brutality of the Assyrian army, the two city-states had already panic and the residents fled one after another."

Gilgamesh stood up and shouted angrily, "He thought it was so beautiful!"

Amon and Gere reached out to support the table at the same time. Two lights flashed, adding perhaps the most powerful magical protection in the world to the rough and simple wooden table. Then Gilgamesh slapped the table with a slap.

Gelie asked with a wry smile: "Gil, do you still have any ideas about Princess Xiao Qian?"

After an instant anger broke out, Gilgamesh sat down again and sighed, "Everyone knows that Princess Xiao Qian was my fiancée, but that was just the king's arrangement. There is no relationship between me and her, and there is not even a feeling. Now, it is even more impossible to have any relationship. It is her own business for Princess Xiao Qian to marry, but no matter what, I don't want to see Princess Xiao Qian and the Kingdom of Barron being bullied like this."

Amon and Gelie looked at each other, and they said in unison: "So Sinach must die!"

Princess Xiao Qian is twenty-five years old this year, and has been terminated from engagement with Gilgamesh for several years, but she has not yet married. It is not because she likes anyone or doesn’t like anyone, but because her identity is too sensitive. No one in the Kingdom of Barron was dared to say anything about Gilgamesh back then, but if it were others, the situation would be complicated. Because King Hammorabi of Barron is old and has no children, there is only a sister like Princess Xiao Qian among her immediate relatives, and the other so-called princes are his nephews.

The laws of the Kingdom of Barron do not prohibit women from regulating or even inheriting the throne. There has been a precedent in history when the king has no son and chooses the most powerful nobles in the country to marry the princess and inherit the throne. Because the queen can pass the throne to her husband, whether it is voluntary is another matter. The battle for the throne depends on two factors. One is to see who the king is in, and the other is to see who can control the domestic situation. Otherwise, even if the throne is inherited, it will not be able to sit firmly.

The charming Princess Little Qian is a famous beauty in the Barron Kingdom. Amon has seen it with his own eyes, but Sinach not only wants beauty, but also wants a country. Currently, the people qualified to inherit the throne in the Barron Kingdom are Princess Little Qian and several nephews of the king. Prince Feng Nuo, who has made outstanding contributions to the army in recent years, has been considered a more powerful competitor to the throne than Princess Little Qian.

When Sinach suddenly made such a move, it is not difficult to guess that he first married Princess Xiao Qian, and then helped Princess Xiao Qian ascend the throne through the power of the Assyrian Empire. At that time, either control the Queen Barron in his own hands, or simply force Queen Barron to abdicate, and firmly control the Kingdom of Barron in his own hands without using military means but political means.

This move is amazing. I don’t know if it comes from Enriel’s guidance. If Sinach marrys Queen Barron or simply adds this crown to himself, he will truly become the Assyrian Emperor who has been famous in history. And the main god believed in by the Kingdom of Barron can no longer be Marduk, which symbolizes Enriel’s complete victory. This god will reunify the divine realm of Anunaqi’s divine system.

Gilgamesh looked at Gore and Amon again and said a chilling sentence: "You must have guessed the intention of Sinach. It is difficult for the Barron Kingdom to reject his request now, and Princess Xiao Qian is also involuntarily. To stop Sinach's conspiracy, it is actually easier to do than assassinate Sinach, to kill Princess Xiao Qian!"

Amon frowned: "Do you think so?"

Gilgamesh shook his head and said, "Of course I won't think so, but I have been in the position of the city lord for a long time and understand the politics and officialdom of the kingdom. Some people will definitely think so, and maybe they will do it too, whether it is for himself or for the Kingdom of Baron. For example, Prince Fengniao, the first choice is probably to lose Princess Xiao Qian. Open actions are naturally impossible, but you can send assassin to assassination."

Amon asked again: "If Princess Xiao Qian is really assassinated, how can I explain it?"

Ge Lie pondered and interrupted: "Under the current situation of the Kingdom of Barron, there will inevitably be pro-war factions and pro-polisists, but as long as they are not real ***ers, they will not want to see Sinach's conspiracy succeed. If Princess Xiao Qian dies, ten ***ers will be declared suicide. The pro-war factions can use this to make a fuss to unite the people of the kingdom to share the same hatred of the enemy.

Amon said with an Oh, "It turns out he was killed."

Gelie kept smiling bitterly today and nodded again, "This is a reasonable speculation, it may sound dark, but this is the part that makes me tired of the politics the most."

Amon also smiled bitterly: "Sinach will definitely send someone to protect Princess Xiao Qian. We must not let the princess die. Whether it is suicide or suicide, he will definitely try to stop it." At this point, he suddenly closed his eyes and listened to something. After a while, he opened his eyes and said: "Among my disciples, there is also someone who requested me to go to the Kingdom of Barron to protect Princess Xiao Qian."

They discussed this matter in the courtyard, and Aesop, George and others also discussed the latest news in the Temple of Amon. George was from the high priest of the Temple of Isis and also speculated that a similar possibility was speculated. One of the disciples could not sit still and immediately prayed to God Amon, hoping to protect Princess Little Sakura, who was Medanzo.

Medanzo and Amon "save" Princess Xiao Qian. Although it was a kidnapping incident directed and acted by Princess Xiao Qian, Princess Xiao Qian also gave him enough rewards afterwards. Princess Xiao Qian asked Medanzo to follow her car to return to the capital and restore his status as a noble warrior. These seem to be indifferent today, but Medanzo was indeed grateful at the beginning. Moreover, the beautiful Princess Xiao Qian left a deep impression on Medanzo, who once claimed that he was the admirer of the princess.

Medanzo's idea is very interesting. Since she has saved her once, I will really save her again today. On the other hand, he does not want Princess Little Qian to fall into the control of Sinach, so Medanzo's "protection" has a dual meaning.

Gilgamesh asked curiously: "Sinach will send someone to protect Princess Xiao Qian. I didn't expect that someone among your disciples would want to protect her. Who is this person and what are the methods?"

Amon replied, "The purpose of protection and protection is different. This person is Medanzo, the leader of my disciples. You have seen it on the battlefield, and you are holding the divine bow you have used."

Gilgamesh nodded: "This person is quite not weak. Since he wants to go, please send him."

Gere looked at Gilgamesh with a smile and said, "Will you not go?"

While drinking, Gilgamesh replied: "I am no longer the lord of the Uruk city-state. I will go to the capital of Baron, but I am just paying attention to it as a wanderer. As for the hero saving the beauty and making a name for himself, let me leave it to Medanzo."

Gelie said again: "If Princess Xiaoxi herself is not a bad thing for our plan. He wants to marry Princess Xiaoxi and make Princess Xiaoxi Queen, then Princess Xiaoxi cannot be an ordinary imperial concubine. But don't forget that Emperor Xinach already has an empress. What would Semir think? He was the queen of Semir who was a civilian, or would he have to establish two queens at the same time? If it were the latter, there was something new that had never happened before, but Semir should be able to do it."

Amon picked up the wine glass and said, "No matter what Sinach does, Semir will not be satisfied. Besides, Semir has been disagreeing with Sinach and has been scolded. Now he is defeated on the battlefield, which gives Sinach a good excuse for abolishing queen. Compared to Semir's idea, Sinach certainly values ​​the country of the Baron Kingdom more. It is natural for the emperor to think this way, but it is different for women. If Semir was forced to marry Sinach, and now Sinach uses coercion to marry another kingdom princess, no matter what the purpose is, Semir will be difficult to tolerate."

Gelie looked at Amon with a smile and asked, "God, do you know women very well?"

Amon shook his head gently: "I don't know much, but I can try my best to experience it."

Gilgamesh also glanced at Amon and said, "I don't know about women, but he should know the goddess very well."

Amon changed the topic and said, "Princess Xiaoxi is a matter of extravagance. Since Medanzo wants to protect her, I will send him. Let's talk about what happened just now. Mr. Grey, although you have analyzed so many possibilities, it is difficult for us to communicate with Faust and Semir. The idea is simple, but it is difficult to do it."

Geret twisted his goatee and said, "Since I have proposed it, there is naturally a way to sit down and have a good talk with Faust. God Amon, this may require you to appear in some way, and the cooperation of the city of Salem."

Grey suggested that Amon send an envoy to Enriel City to discuss the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides. The envoy would also submit a document, which would agree on the time, place, method and number of prisoners of war. The official documents also include some diplomatic rhetoric and praise of the gods.

Gerlie would write this document in the name of Aesop, the lord of Salem City. He and Faust were old friends for many years. They used to have letters to discuss various profound and difficult issues. Faust should be able to recognize Gerlie's handwriting and the code words left in the letter at a glance.

Gore will make an appointment for a time and place, and ask Faust to go out of the city to discuss it in a secret place. As for what to discuss, it will be explained clearly and promised to absolutely guarantee Faust's safety, declaring that this is not a trap or trap. If Amon promises not to take this opportunity to fight Faust, Gore will write this letter and wait for Faust at the designated time and place.

Amon immediately agreed, promising not to take this opportunity to set up a trap to ambush Faust, but asked again: "Gerel, you and I have no malice towards Faust, but can you guarantee that Faust will not take this opportunity to ambush you?"

Gelie laughed and said, "People must have trust and choices in life. Amon, if there is an enemy, you will trust them, who will you think of first?"

Amon looked at Gore and said, "Of course it was you, we were enemies."

If even Gerey is not trustworthy, there may be no trustworthy person in the world. The old madman trusted Gerey back then, and even let him witness the last moment of his life. Amon also trusted Gerey and gave him the command of the Salem Legion without hesitation on the battlefield. How could Faust, who was a friend of Gerey for many years, not understand these? Gerey gained a reputation as a god in the Kingdom of Hati, and did not rely on any conspiracy to fight.

Gelie said again: "I designated time and place. Even if Faust wants to ambush us, do you think the three of us will be afraid? As long as we don't mobilize the army to encircle and suppress it, at least there is no problem to protect ourselves and escape." What he said was right. Who would they be afraid of when the three of them got together?

Gilgamesh was stunned and said, "Do I want to go too?"

Gelie smiled: "Since you are all here, why not help me? That is another battlefield. After Amon met Faust, it will not be too late for you to go to King Barron."

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and pondered: "Whether Faust trusts you or not, it is a great adventure to go out of the city to talk about this matter. As long as he is willing to come, it means that you have any ideas in your heart and your plan may be successful. I don't mind accompanying you as a bodyguard."

The three of them discussed the details again, and Gore began to write the document of the exchange of prisoners of war between Salem and Enriel. Amon lowered the oracle, one was to order Aesop to prepare to send an envoy to Enriel; the other was to allow Medanzo to go to the capital of Barron, but he did not tell Medanzo Gilgamesh would go, too.

...

In the city of Baron, in Princess Xiao Qian's residence, the beautiful princess is singing a melancholy song—

"The beautiful legend has disappeared without a trace

I'm sighing about the misunderstanding of life

Huange has gone and will bear the bullying of fate

The country and city-state are separated in various scattered

The wishes I used to disappear together

Look at the pain of the crowd

Even the praise shocked me

People who once admired my singing voice were floating like duckweed in this world

There is a long forgotten mood

I also yearn for that solemn tranquility

Now the song is like the sad sound on the strings

Just like fate swaying

The world before us retreats from afar,

The past is vague and appears one by one..."

Those who truly understand this princess know that she is not without ambitions and has long been full of desire for the Barron throne. She once used to study the situation in the country in the name of traveling around, but also made friends and cultivated her own private forces, including the establishment of the city of Marduke in the Duke Plain.

In the "kidnapping" incident that Medanzo and Amon had encountered, Princess Xiao Qian even tried to get Prince Feng Nuo into muddy waters and take the opportunity to attack this most threatening political enemy. It is not too scheming. But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. With her fiancé Gilgamesh leaving, Princess Xiao Qian lost the strongest political help, while Prince Feng Nuo was very lucky to become the hero and political star of this kingdom.

Before the defeat of the Barron Kingdom, King Hammorabi II had made a decision to stabilize the domestic situation and balance the forces of all parties. After his death, he would be passed on to Prince Fengniao and make Princess Xiao Qian the regent.
