256, the rise of the Kingdom of Pots

Gabriel passed the "question of fate, the judgment of the end", disappeared in the gray vortex, reaching the eternity of immortality, and the pain suffered under the attack of black lightning disappeared instantly, and there was no pain in the world of nothing, and even she was equivalent to not exist.

I don’t know how long it has passed, because there is no concept of time. In the human world, it may be just a moment, or a long time. Gabriel finally came to his senses. At this moment, she is an idealistic being. When the soul returns to its clarity, the god finally woke up and felt a guide inexplicably, as if he could step into another world in one step. She had seen a little light in the far and near place.

She was about to fly towards this light, or it was this light that was approaching her actively, as if she was about to guide her into another world, but then the light disappeared. Gabriel was stunned, Amon's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, waved her hand to open up a lonely space of time and space, and a complex and profound message was imprinted into Gabriel's soul. She also felt the pain caused by the wounds of body and spirit.

Amon gave up the world he created, temporarily opened up a space of time for Gabriel to heal her, and told her a lot of mystery after she transcended eternal life at the first time. Gabriel saluted Amon, and when she stood up again, she had returned to normal, holding a divine stone shining with golden light and handed it to Amon-

"My God, relying on the protection of this divine stone, I finally passed the test and came to you. This divine stone was not damaged, but there was a trace of tears."

Amon took over the tears of the gods left by Maria, and saw the tears in the faint golden light. This tear mark is not a crack or a pattern of the divine stone itself. All ordinary divine stones and various special divine stones do not contain any impurities. No matter what color it is, the texture is pure and transparent without any flaws. If a crack appears on it, it will be damaged and turned into powder.

This tear mark appeared in the light. No matter what angle the divine stone was turned to, the tear mark appeared in the place where the eyes were staring.

There is no need to speak and communicate more between gods. The information imprinted in the soul can clearly explain everything. Amon nodded and lifted the tears of the gods. The golden light shone on Gabriel. It guarded the healing of this god who transcended eternal life. It didn't know how long it had passed.

Gabriel's injuries gradually recovered, and there was no need to stay in this lonely time and space. She could return to the earth to go to the Garden of Eden to recuperate herself. However, Amon planned to wait until she fully recovered before teaching some of the mysteries of the cultivation of gods, so he kept quietly standing in the lonely time and space with the tears of the gods.

But Amon did not wait until Gabriel fully recovered. At some point, no matter why, the golden light emitted from the tears of the gods suddenly trembled. Gabriel in front of him also felt something, raised his head from the state of meditation, and asked, "My God, what happened to you so shocked?"

What unexpected things can disturb his soul even for the God-king world that he created himself? Two things happened at the same time. One is that in the human world, Ge Lie, the great magician of Amon Jingruo, died in battle; the other is that Amon heard a distant call, which actually came from the distant Kingdom of Anuna.

Gere's prestige in the Kingdom of Hati even surpassed the gods, and his status and glory were incomparable. What kind of war required him to rush to the front line? How could this almost the best military commander on the mainland be killed? The matter has to be said from the beginning, it has been twelve years since Amon left the world.

...

Amon refining and fusing the lotus flowers and the Destiny Book of Heaven in his soul, taking three years based on the years on earth, creating a kingdom of gods until it was destroyed, and seven and a half years based on the years on earth, and another one and a half years of protection of Gabriel. Before Gabriel arrived, Amon was always focused and ignored anything that happened on earth.

In these twelve years, earth-shaking changes occurred on the Tianshu Continent. Almost all the fates of the people Amon met when he traveled through the nations changed. In a sense, all this happened because of the appearance of a god, who was Malduk, who had left the Anunaqi divine system. In the world, it was also accompanied by the rise of a kingdom, which was the Kingdom of Pots.

The Kingdom of Pots is far east of Tianshu Continent. It is a desolate and remote place that is not eye-catching in history. There are many primitive tribes and weak countries, and Pots is just one of them. The rise of Pots is the process of the annexation and integration of these tribes and countries. However, Pots has had very little dealings with the countries on Tianshu Continent, and people do not know much about it.

The most experienced mortal Amon has ever seen, Aesop. The slave city lord has been to many places to record countless legends. On his way back to his hometown, Moses and others were tempted by a strange god, who claimed to be Barkley. Aesop heard of this name in the story told by Aesop, which is a god believed in by the Pots Kingdom. Aesop also suspected that Barkley might be another identity of Marduk.

Amon's guess is correct. Barkley is another name for Marduk, just like Amon also has another name called Araho or Satan. The name of the gods is not the praise title offered by the temple on earth. Each name corresponds to a unique identity and a unique guide. The believers in the world do not even know its true meaning.

Before Amon left the world, the Kingdom of Poz ushered in the fastest era of prosperity and expansion in history, which was directly related to the war of Emperor Sinach. When the Assyrian Empire rose, Emperor Sinach not only attacked the Barron and Duke plains, but also launched wars on the eastern border of the empire, slaughtering many weak tribes and countries.

Many loose tribes and countries were unable to protect themselves and were afraid of the brutal conquest of the Assyrian Empire. In order to survive and protect themselves, they defected to the increasingly powerful Pots Kingdom in the east. As a result, the territory of Pots and Assyrian extended from the east and west directions respectively, and eventually evolved into a border state, and the situation temporarily stabilized.

After the assassination of Sinach, a talented monarch named Cyrus Semir appeared in the Kingdom of Poz. The decision to recall Faust and the Giant Legion and abandon the Duke Plain. On the one hand, he felt the pressure of the rise of the Poz Kingdom in the east. After Faust returned to the country, he stayed in the capital of Neve, and the Giant Legion was sent to the eastern border to prevent the attack of the Poz Kingdom.

Semir believed that if the Kingdom of Poz continued to expand westward, the Assyrian Empire would be the first to fight against it. However, Semir was wrong. The Kingdom of Poz avoided the real and went against the false, and first launched an attack on the Kingdom of Elam, north of Assyria, shortly after Amon left the world.

...

North of the Assyrian Empire, it was a wilderness in ancient times, and some nomadic tribes lived. These tribes were influenced by the civilization of the Tianshu continent and learned to build city-states. They gradually settled and merged during their migration, and established a country called Eland.

The Cyrus' army first conquered Elam, destroyed the kingdom and established a province, appointed the governor to be responsible for litigation, taxation and internal security, transformed this primitive and backward kingdom into a modern city-state, and established a complete set of administrative and military systems.

Shortly after annexation of Elam, the Potz army continued to advance westward, bypassing the Assyrian Empire from the north, directly reaching the northeastern border of the Hati Kingdom, and capturing the city-state of Harti.

Rudy was on the northeast corner of Hathi, close to the wilderness. He had always been attacked by scattered nomadic tribes. The city-state guards were slackened and collapsed when the Pots army invaded. The army sent by King Asher rushed to the border to fight, but was killed by Cyrus and retreated step by step. The king, who ascended the throne, finally realized that the situation was not good, so he came to the door and asked Gere to come forward to command the army.

In recent years, Gorey has no longer paid attention to the civil affairs of the Kingdom of Hati. He knew in his heart that his prestige in the Kingdom had too high a reputation and had affected the authoritative status of the King of Ashes, so he simply avoided being suspicious. The King of Ashes was also happy to see this. But this time the situation was different. King of Ashes could have sent an envoy to summon Gorey, but he personally went to the Syrian city-state to visit.

When Gelie returned, he did two things. One was to recruit troops in Meso and Budamiya to head to the northeastern border. These two city-states were established during the war. The city-state garrison and even ordinary residents were capable of fighting. The generals were also direct troops trained by Gelie himself. The second thing was to send envoys to negotiate alliances with the Assyrian Empire, and the two countries jointly fight against the Pots army.

The original strategy of the Assyrian Empire was to watch the tiger fight. They believed that the Hati Kingdom was not as weak as Elam, and the Potz army would pay a significant price regardless of victory or defeat. If the Potz army was defeated, the Assyrian Empire could take the opportunity to take action; if the Potz army won, the Assyrian Empire could also attack from the back when it was exhausted.

However, Gore told the Assyrian Empress Semir that the strength of the Pots Kingdom exceeded the original estimate, and the Hati army would not be an opponent. If Hati really waited until Hati was defeated, and according to the strategy of gradually eroding Cyrus and using war to support the war, the Assyrian Empire would find it difficult to take advantage of the situation, and instead became the next target to be eroded. The best strategic choice is to join forces to attack.

After discussion, the Assyrian ministers finally believed that Gore's judgment was correct. The Kingdom of Pots annexed Elam, but did not lose anything but increased its strength. If it waited until it defeated Hathi again, the Assyrian Empire would be surrounded by three sides, so it sent a large army to attack the enemy's flanks.

The main battlefield took place in the city-state of Rudy in the Kingdom of Hati and the Elland Province of the Kingdom of Potz. The Kingdom of Hati and the Assyrian Empire fought in joint battles and repelled the attack of the Kingdom of Potz, but the Kingdom of Potz still defended the Elland Province.

The Kingdom of Pots temporarily withdrew its troops and defended it, and the northern front was not successful. Hathi and Assyria suffered a lot of losses. They were unable to launch an expedition in a short period of time, so they confronted each other for several years. After that, Gore suggested that the king of Assyria send envoys to negotiate with the Assyria Empire and strive to join forces and take the initiative again.

King Asher did not adopt this suggestion. It makes sense that he did not want to launch an expedition. The Kingdom of Hati concentrated its strength and united the Assyrian Empire after a great defeat, and then repelled the attack of the Poz Kingdom. The land of the Kingdom of Poz is far east of Assyrian. Even if the Kingdom of Hati launched an expedition to win, it would make the Assyrian Empire take advantage of it. They could not obtain actual benefits and would only greatly consume the already damaged national strength.

At this time, King Cyrus sent another army to launch another battle under the command of the battlefield and the commander-in-chief of the kingdom General Darius. This time the target was the Assyrian Empire.

The Assyrian Empire once occupied six city-states of the former Barron Kingdom. Pots and the Barron Kingdom sent troops to fight at the same time, and the target of the attack was these six city-states. The Barron Kingdom and Assyrian were mortal enemies, and Marduk also descended the oracle and ordered the Barron Kingdom to take this opportunity to launch a counterattack against Assyrian. King Vonnook of the Barron King gathered a large army to attack from north to south, while Darius led the army from east to west.

The Assyrian Empire was unstoppable, and this front was too far from the Kingdom of Hati, so it was impossible to join forces with Hati again. The Potz army was unstoppable, and five of the six city-states were captured by Darius, and Barron also took the opportunity to recover the city-state of Ries.

From the results of this war, we can see that the combat effectiveness of the various legions of the Assyrian Empire was far inferior to that of the Sinach period. When they opened their territory and expanded their territory, they slaughtered too much, and the occupied areas suffered serious losses. The people were forced to move into slaves, and the soldiers became emerging nobles. Their arrogance, extravagance, and their spirits were lost, and they were unpopular.

Theoretically speaking, the six city-states had long been officially ceded to the Assyrian Empire, and were no longer Barron's territory. Whoever captured them would belong to them. King Fengniao sent troops just to take back as much as possible. But Barron's army only captured one city-state, while the Pots army occupied all the other five city-states, which also shows the gap in combat effectiveness between the two countries.

After the Poz Kingdom captured five city-states from the Assyrian Empire, it established a new province. Cyrus also implemented a military policy similar to Sinach. He maintained the privileged status of all the Poz people and made all the adult Poz men a soldier who obeyed the king and were good at fighting.

For conquered areas, the Kingdom of Pots established provinces and sent governors to retain the status of the original aristocratic group in the local area, allowing them to continue to serve as managers and rulers representing the Kingdom of Pots. The Kingdom of Pots digested the occupied areas very quickly. If the residents of the new provinces join the army to fight foreign wars, they can also receive rewards for their military merits and become new nobles in the occupied areas. The Kingdom of Pots can continuously replenish their troops.

After the establishment of a new province in the Kingdom of Pots, he made a request to the Kingdom of Barron, hoping to use the marching to cross the Youdi River and attack the Kingdom of Hati from the southern line. Its marching route must pass through the Kish city-state of the Kingdom of Barron.

King Fon Niao of Barron knew in his heart that if the Pots army crossed the Youdi River to defeat Hati, the Kingdom of Barron would also face a situation of losing his lips and cold teeth, so he refused Pots' request to borrow the passage. Cyrus sent envoys to reprimand the Kingdom of Barron. With the guidance of the oracle and the help of the Pots army, they defeated their mortal enemy Assyrian and recovered the city-state of Rees, but they did not even borrow a way!

The Kingdom of Potz used this as an excuse to send troops to capture the city-state of Kish, and Cyrus ordered Darius to lead his army to attack Hati again. The heavy troops of the Kingdom of Hati were still in the city-state of Rudy in the north, but the army of the Kingdom of Potz launched a raid from the south line.

King Ashe thought that Darius would march from the south bank of the inland lake and break through the Syrian city-state into Hathi's land, so he transferred the garrisons of Meso and the Budamiya city-state to the south of the inland lake. Unexpectedly, Darius led his troops into the Duke Plain and captured the Budamiya city-state in the first battle.

The King of Ashes urgently ordered the main force of the defenders to be transferred back to the north shore of the inland lake, but Darius suddenly killed and retaliated, went back to the *** ferry crossing on the south shore of the inland lake to defeat the defenders, and took advantage of the situation to attack the Syrian city-state.

King Asher was right in his judgment on the main attack direction of the Potz army, but he made mistakes in the details of tactical command. By the time Gere led the main force of the kingdom back to the rescue, the defeat was irreversible. The Potz army broke through the Syrian city-state and entered the hinterland of the Hati Kingdom as if it were unstoppable and approached the capital of the kingdom. The main force of Hati was defeated and most of the territory was occupied.

Darius, commander-in-chief of the battlefield of the Potz army, sent an envoy to King Ashe and the generals of the city-states who were still standing, reading out the national policy of Cyrus: as long as they surrender, the Potz Kingdom will still retain their property and noble status, and divide the Hathi Kingdom into several provinces of Potz.

Several city-states surrendered, and the king of Ashe was also prepared to surrender. If he did not surrender, he would have to die after his defeat as the king; if he surrendered, he would still be the largest noble in Hathi's land, enjoy a large area of ​​territory and slaves, and was also one of the rulers representing the Kingdom of Pots.

At this time, Gore found King Ashe, and the two had a long conversation. Gorere told Ashe that if he surrendered, the Kingdom of Hath would no longer exist. This is two different concepts of defeat or surrender, but was completely annexed and disappeared.

When Gere did not surrender, he asked the king of Ashes to grant him full authority, and asked him to call on the final resistance with all those who were unwilling to surrender in Hathi and gather strength to make a great battle. He said to the king of Ashes: "If I win, Hathi will remain; if I lose, you will surrender, and surrender."

The war launched by the Kingdom of Poz also means that Marduk's attack on the Anunaqi divine system, and this god wants to annex the entire Anunaqi divine territory. The Poz army captured the Kish city-state of the Kingdom of Baron, and did not destroy the Temple of Malduk. Instead, the local military, civilians, nobles and priests allowed the local people to retain their original beliefs.

Ordinary people did not understand what happened between the gods, nor did they know that Enriel had fallen and Marduk had left the Anunaqi divine system. In their opinion, it was only one main god who replaced another main god, so the resistance between the noble forces and the priest group was not strong.

But Gelie should be clear about the inside story. The great master's belief has long been betrayed Enrile, so why should he make this life-and-death decision? Moreover, even if the Kingdom of Hati surrenders, he will not be greatly affected by Gelie's achievements and status. King Asher also asked Gelie a similar question.
