There were more than a dozen people from Hatti's side. Prince Asher, Goret, Juguli, Zhanbie, Wallet, Olebein, Afei, Aluka and others also arrived first. In addition to Prince Asher and Juguli They were all great magicians or great samurai, but the middle seat was empty, and there was another empty seat next to them.
John, who was dressed in heavy armor, was deeply moved at the moment, thinking that when he was far away from Mount Horeb, he would never have imagined that he would be standing here today! While thinking this way, he suddenly found that everyone turned their heads and looked in one direction. Even Pharaoh couldn't help standing 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, and in the carriage sat King Lucier wearing a golden crown. Medanzuo had already put away his short blade, stood majestically by the king's side with his chest up and his sword . The driver was a smiling young man with a simple dagger hanging from his waist, wearing the uniform of a legion commander but without armor. It was Amon, the legendary hero who captured King Hattie alive.
A beautiful woman is riding a white horse with a staff in her hand and follows her. The wind blows away her cloak, her hair is fluttering in the sun, her fair face is very beautiful, but her expression is very serious, it is the king's accompanying magic spell Teacher Celia.
Amon stopped the carriage when he was far away, and helped the king get down with his own hands. Medan Zuo also completed his "guard mission". He first bowed to King Hatti, then turned around and walked through the magic circle to the Eju tent. After saluting the Pharaoh, he pressed his sword and walked aside Beside John, just behind the empty seat. Among all the people present, Mei Danzuo's military rank was the lowest and he didn't even have a formal title. He was only the captain of Amon's personal guard, but he was the one who showed his face the most recently.
Amon and Celia escorted Lucier to the front of Hatt's big tent, where everyone saluted the king. The king nodded and turned around to sit in his seat with a very dignified demeanor, as if he had finally regained his senses.
Amon stopped laughing, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist with a solemn expression, and saluted in front of the king on one knee: "Your Majesty, I am here to visit you for the sake of peace between the two countries. Thank you for your protection for so many days. Please also forgive my offense and disrespect!"
Lucille smiled, waved his hand and said, "I admire your courage. You are a true warrior. I think the title of the number one warrior on the mainland should be given to you instead of Enkidu. It is also a good thing for the two countries to sit down and talk about peace." Your merit, just based on this, is enough to forgive any of your faults. Sir Legion Commander, please go back and report back.”
Prime Minister Zhu Guli came over and handed Amon a silver plate with a sword book, on which was written the terms of the peace talks proposed by the Kingdom of Hatti. There is also a relief emblem on the upper left corner of the silver plate, which looks like a clover in the wind or a towering tree or a light shooting into the sky. It is the symbolic totem of the god Enlil.
Amon took the silver plate and got up and walked towards Eju's big tent, passed through the edge of the junction of the two magic circles, knelt down in front of the pharaoh and saluted, raised the silver plate above his head and said: "Your Majesty the great pharaoh, Ann -The head of the La Legion has returned to you, and the Kingdom of Hatti has made a request for peace talks, please take a look."
Pharaoh waved his hand: "Amon, I don't know this kind of language, please translate it."
Whether he really didn't know him or he didn't know him, only God knows. Amon knelt there and translated the content on the silver plate. Knife books are usually written on clay tablets, but on such an important occasion, the Kingdom of Hatti specially prepared a document cast on a silver plate with Enlil's emblem on it, indicating that it had sworn an oath before the gods.
After Amon finished reading, someone took the silver plate, and the pharaoh bowed his head and smiled: "Commander of the Amon army, my respected warrior, I have heard of your name and noble and selfless conduct for a long time. This is the first time I saw you in person, I didn’t expect you to be so young! This time you led the An-La Legion and made unprecedented feats. After returning to Eju, feel free to ask for the reward you want. Sit down first, my lord warrior."
Amon came to the empty seat and sat down. His mission was finally completed, and he didn't say a word during the whole peace talks, appearing quite low-key. The following time belongs to the pharaoh and the king, and Ge Lie, Zhu Guli, Zhanbie, Li Quide, Wald, Blaze and others also participated in the discussion.
Naturally, the real peace treaty does not have these three conditions. To Amon's slight surprise, the pharaoh and the king became more and more relaxed as they talked, and the atmosphere was full of chatter and laughter afterwards. In the end, two gold plates were taken out, and Ge Lie and Li Kuide cast spells in public to engrave on them the first peace treaty with clear written records in the history of Tianshu Continent.
Each gold plate is engraved with cursive script and knife script respectively. The front side is written in divine characters, and the back side is written in secular characters. In addition to Enlil's emblem, there is also a relief of an eagle on the upper left of the cursive script, which is The emblem of Horus. The general content of this agreement is as follows -
1. The two countries coexist peacefully and do not invade each other. Neither party can send troops to attack the other's city-state.
Second, when attacked by a third party, the two countries should provide each other with assistance within their ability to resist the common enemy.
3. Delineate the boundaries. The Syrian-Asian Desert and the Duk Plain are buffer zones, and explorers from both countries can enter and pay taxes to their respective city-states and countries.
4. The two countries promise to each other to return the fugitives to their original owners.
The main content of the peace treaty is the above four conditions. Of the three conditions originally proposed by Hatti, only the first one was officially written down. As for the other two conditions, leaving the status of a vassal state and dismantling the Temple of Horus in the territory, the official terms of the peace treaty did not include come out. Because there is no need to write it. As long as this peace treaty is signed, it is self-evident that Hatti will leave the status of a vassal state. As for whether or not the Temple of Horus will be demolished after returning, it is entirely their own business. Why write it on the gold plate to anger the gods? Woolen cloth.
It is also mentioned in the peace treaty that the two countries will jointly resist foreign enemies, which is obviously aimed at Assyria and Baron. If the two countries attack the fertile land for thousands of miles, Hatti will feel very uncomfortable. It is better to recruit a symbolic helper to avoid future wars. besieged on three sides. That piece of fertile land now has an official name, Duke Plain.
Judging from the content of the peace treaty, explorers from both countries can enter the Duk Plain, either to reclaim the wilderness, mine for gold, or hunt monsters, and they need to pay taxes to their respective countries. The Ecu Empire has obtained the right to enter the Duk Plain Power, but actually means little. Because it is necessary to cross the thousands of miles of Syria to reach the Duk Plain from the Eju mainland. If people from both sides can enter freely, the Duk Plain will naturally still be controlled by the Kingdom of Hatti.
As for the last clause of mutual return of the fugitives to their original owners, it was suggested by Pharaoh. Originally, they were discussing the return of prisoners of war. In normal wars, prisoners of war would become slaves of the other party. Since it was a peace negotiation, of course all prisoners of war should be returned. However, there are clauses in the laws of both countries that fugitive slaves are not allowed to be hidden. Pharaoh proposed to extend the peace treaty, so such a clause was added.
Amon frowned slightly when he heard the last item, but he didn't say anything, because all the adults present agreed unanimously, and no one asked for Amon's opinion alone.
Casting characters on the gold plate was completed by two great magicians on the spot, and each side kept a copy, and they had to take it back and enshrine it in the temple as a symbol of eternal existence. This great battle with countless casualties has ushered in a happy ending. Lasis II and King Lucier chatted more and more speculatively. Perhaps in order to strengthen the alliance between the two countries, he made another request on the spot, marrying King Lucier's daughter.
What kind of business is this? Amon frowned again, and looking at Celia on the opposite side, she also looked a little displeased. She is a royal nobleman, and the king's daughter is Celia's cousin. Pharaoh actually made this request. To Amon's surprise, Lucille agreed very happily, and agreed on the date of the wedding on the spot. This is great, Amon was holding His Majesty's father-in-law hostage a while ago!
After the peace talks, a large oval table was put together in the open space between the two large tents. People from both sides sat on one side and held a grand banquet. The table was filled with delicious food and wine, which is rare in the world. Delicious delicacies at first sight. Amon sat silently in a corner, watching this good show from the climax to the end, trying not to attract the attention of others, but it still became the focus of everyone's attention.
When the wine was half drunk, King Lucier of Hatti suddenly raised his glass and said, "I propose to give a toast to Amon, the number one warrior in our mainland. Without his heroic deeds, there would not be such a happy and peaceful scene today." ! Amon, the armies 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 legion commander, and it is my first time to lead troops on an expedition. I absolutely dare not be called the number one warrior in the mainland. "
Zhanbie, the chief magician of Hatti Palace, also stood up, raised his glass and said, "Commander of the Amon Legion, you must not be humble. Since the king said so, in the eyes of Hatti soldiers and people, you are the number one warrior in the mainland." ! Thinking about Enkidu’s claim to be the number one warrior in the mainland, it’s nothing more than the bravery of a man, how has he ever established such a feat as yours?”
Amon had no choice but to continue drinking, and explained: "I am only a seventh-level warrior, how can I compare with Enkidu, who killed the gods? Please don't flatter me!"
Hatti Prime Minister Zhu Guli also stood up with a cup: "Humility is a virtue, and honesty is also a virtue. Your modesty cannot cover up our honesty. This is our due evaluation for you. You are already a man at such a young age. You are a great samurai who can train a motley army into an elite division for the first time. The future is limitless. In time, you will be invincible. This is the most admirable thing! Seeing your bravery, I even Doubt, is there anything in this world that you dare not do?...Your Majesty Pharaoh, don’t you think so?”
The king's toast seemed to be a signal, and his ministers took turns to toast Amon. The words were higher and higher, and Amon's back was sweating. He kidnapped King Hattie, which is a great shame to the other party, and it is impossible for these people not to hate him. It is of course malicious to say these words on this occasion, but it is impossible to refute them, and they are all smiling and toasting.
This group of people in high positions are of course experts in playing tricks. Amon was the commander of the Pharaoh's army. Of course, his victory also belonged to the Pharaoh, but Pharaoh's army was defeated. Only he won the battle and captured King Hattie alive. In front of Pharaoh and other legion leaders, these people only praised Amon, which was putting him on fire to roast him.
Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of Li Kuide, Long Teng and others, the pharaoh smiled and raised his glass when he heard the question, "I am very pleased that there are such brave generals in the empire, and I also firmly believe that everyone here will also agree with him." Amon is just as loyal and brave, toast to Amon, to the gods!"
Everyone on Eju raised their glasses to Amon, and Amon bit the bullet and raised his glass: "Glory to the great Pharaoh, to the supreme guidance of the gods!" At the same time, a thought flashed in his heart: "The glory of guidance, to the a cat."
After the banquet, the two sides returned to their camps and withdrew their troops as agreed. The Pharaoh's army received the military supplies sent by the An-La Legion.
The peace treaty was signed, and both sides declared that it was their own victory, and poems would be inscribed on the stone pillars of the temple to praise the deeds of the gods and kings. As the Hatti side, it is natural to declare a great victory, because they got rid of the status of the vassal state, repelled the Pharaoh's army, forced the other party to sign a non-aggression peace treaty, and became an offensive and defensive alliance as equals. When the temples of Horus were demolished everywhere, the glory of kings and gods reached its climax.
Lacis II also declared that this was his own victory. He launched a large army expedition, captured the opposing king alive, forced Hattie to propose peace talks first, and signed an alliance agreement, turning a potential enemy for decades into an ally , and symbolically obtained the interests in the Duke Plain.
This war also made the reputation of two other people, Ge Lie and Amon.
Hatti's army was commanded by Ge Lie, who led the army and people to defeat the mighty Eju Empire, and he personally negotiated and rescued the kidnapped king, achieving all goals. Ge Lie's prestige in the city-state of Syria is already immeasurable, and now he is warmly praised in the whole country of Hatti.
After the withdrawal of troops, Ge Lie resigned from his temporary position as regiment commander and no longer commanded the army. The position of frontline commander-in-chief also ceased to exist with the end of the war. The king gave him the heaviest reward, and also planned to give him the highest honor. He wanted to appoint Ge Lie as the chief high priest of Enlil's main temple, that is, the chief high priest of the entire Hatti kingdom.
There are three ninth-level great magicians in the Kingdom of Hatti, namely, Gelie, Zhanbie, and Jonah, the chief priest of the original main temple of Enlil. This time the king wanted to appoint Ge Lie to replace Jonah, whether he wanted to or not, but there was no higher reward.
The prime minister of the empire, Zhu Guli, is a supporter of Gorye. The reason is very simple, because his nephew Raphael is Gorye's favorite student. The Chief High Priest is also the Prime Minister's suggestion.
Unexpectedly, Ge Lie himself refused, and still asked to stay in the city-state of Syria as a chief priest. If it were someone else, it would be disrespectful to do so. How could he refuse the king's appointment? But with Ge Lie's status and prestige, he has enough capital to reject the king's kindness and make his own request.
The king agreed, and gave the city-state of Syria a generous reward, exempting it from taxes for three years, and appointed Ge Lie as the chief elder of Hatti Theological Academy. This is an honorable symbolic position, comparable to the chief high priest of the kingdom, but without real power.
As Ge Lie, he can already act according to his own will, but the young legion leader Amon doesn't have the capital yet. This battle brought Amon's prestige to the sky, but the situation was a bit delicate. His qualifications were too low, and his contributions were too great. If the light was too dazzling, it would somewhat shame the defeated generals.
I don't know if Amon's prestige in the legion surpassed that of the gods, but when his soldiers answered other people's questions about which legion they came from, they all proudly answered: "Amon's legion!" "name. In the folk, people also habitually call the An-Ra Legion the Amon Legion.
These are all things to say later, and Amon, who is leading the army to retreat across the desert, only thinks about one thing. The pharaoh had already promised in public that he could ask for any rewards he wanted after returning to Eju. Amon only wanted the pharaoh to release the people in Duke, and he would guide them back to their hometown. Link's tribe has almost prepared the preliminary work. Moses and others will be able to establish a home immediately after returning. There is already a good foothold in the center of the Duke Plain.
His meritorious deeds were enough for Pharaoh to agree to such a request. Maria had reminded and helped him how to achieve his wish, and Amon did it!
The way to withdraw the troops was uneventful, the morale of the An-La Legion was high, and the armor was bright in the distance. Compared with just leaving Eju, it was completely different. Looking at the former commander John, riding on a horse is a majestic general of the empire. But the strange thing is that Mei Danzuo, who always loves to play pompously, was very silent. He was in a trance and thoughtful along the way, and he hardly laughed much.
Amon had a similar experience before, but Mei Danzuo broke through this state of mind through another way, and finally became a great warrior and a great magician. When you have just passed this threshold, you really need to experience the unprecedented feeling, like entering a brand new world.
Amon is also a seventh-level great magician and great warrior. Now that his successor, Mei Danzuo, has achieved the same achievement, Amon is not jealous, but very happy. At this time, he urgently needs master.
Retreating is not fighting, and the army is not moving fast. It took half a month to reach the border pass of the Cape City-State, and Amon met Rod Dick, the lord of the Cape City-State and the head of the Seth Legion. Rod Dick was really unlucky this time, the An-La army won three games and three games, while the Seth army led by him lost three games.
