General Amon originally had five titles, but now one has been reduced to four. The original title "Great God of Horus" is gone, and another title "Inheriting the Glory of Allah" is mentioned The first place was changed to "Glory of Allah".
This change is natural, because Horus not only lost the status of the king of Aiju, but also no longer had the title of god, and Allah became the only supreme god in law. Erlacht's monotheistic reform first took the title of the famous imperial general Amon, which was a temptation and a declaration.
Amon couldn't say anything other than thanking him, and the ministers of Eju also knew the current direction of the empire. Don't look at it as just changing the title of the general, but its actual role is very important.
Amon's feats and glory were obtained on the battlefield, and he enjoyed a high reputation among the people. I don't know when and where there was a rumor that it was because of the protection of the god An-La that the An-La Legion could achieve a miraculous victory on the battlefield. The defeat of the kingdom's most elite main force, the Horus Legion, naturally also symbolized Horus's injury and retirement.
The imperial legions are all named after the gods, which naturally has another meaning. The soldiers all believe that the name of the legion is the protector on the battlefield. However, the Horus Legion failed in the first battle and almost wiped out the entire army. An-La Legion, which was just formed by a motley army, made outstanding achievements repeatedly, saving the fate of the Ecu Empire from failure. Once such rumors were spread, the influence among the people was indeed considerable, and it also contributed to the monotheistic reform of Pharaoh Eraht.
Even if the gods have the realm of the gods, if they want to turn it into a real "the domain of the source of divine power", they still need real faith and dedication. The establishment of the monotheistic system must have a corresponding social foundation, and Seth can rely on An- The name of Ra enjoys a veritable status as the main god.
After Amon wrote back to thank Pharaoh for his reward, Eraht issued a series of new decrees, requiring the city-states to replace all the main gods enshrined in the temples with Allah. The remaining gods, including Horus, do not cancel sacrifices, but they must be ranked after Seth. At the same time, he built a magnificent and magnificent main temple of Allah in Hillmore, and designated Hillmore as the new capital of the empire.
Erlacht's monotheistic reform also had very practical significance in the secular world of the Ecu Empire, focusing on centralizing and strengthening the rule of the king. After a nationwide mobilization war, the conflicts among factions within the empire became more and more obvious, especially the conflict between the emerging aristocratic class and the lineage aristocrats for thousands of years became more and more acute.
The death of Lacis II was too sudden, and Erlacht's position was not stable after he succeeded to the throne. He was not the eldest son of Lacis II, but the luckiest one among the princes. throne. A lot of power in the Ecu Empire is held in the hands of the traditional lineage nobles represented by the priest group, and Erlacht's reform is equivalent to the centralization of power from the bottom of the pot.
There is still a certain difference between the concept of lineage priests and magicians. Great magicians like Maria and George do not belong to this force, but nobles who have emerged in recent years. And people like Rod Dick, although he is not a magician himself, he is still the chief priest of the cape city-state, and he has controlled the local military and political power for generations, which is a typical representative.
For example, the Linton family, from which Nero was born, is also a member of the lineage priest group. Amon had a strong conflict with this family. If personal factors are aside, this is also the rise of a new force represented by Amon One of the inevitable contradictions that result.
The rule of the combination of theocracy and royal power, when the status of the royal power is not stable, the power is easily controlled by the local lineage group. The change of the Jiulian God System is an opportunity. Erlacht took the opportunity to promote the reform of monotheism. It is also a measure to weaken various conflicting forces in the country and strengthen the centralization of power. Renaming himself and building a new king are the most important symbols. .
Erlacht did not touch the Temple of Isis in Memphis for the time being, but according to the oracle and decree, the goddess Isis also became an angel. Pharaoh gave this angel a special title "Holy Angel", and also gave The latest title of the goddess Isis, the guardian of the Virgin Mary - the Guardian of the Angels of the Virgin.
The Isis Temple is still enshrined in the "Isis Virgin Angel". The most important east and west side halls on both sides of the main temple have been rebuilt. The angels in front of him are actually the temple of Seth, and the angels behind him are just a foil to surround him.
As expected by Amon, he soon received a pharaoh's warrant from the city-state of Herac to summon the craftsmen of Duk Town to Shermore to build the main temple for the god of An-Ra. General Amon's first title was "Reflecting the Glory of Allah", and he had no reason to refuse such a trivial matter, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the gods. Pharaoh ordered the recruitment of craftsmen from the city-states, and specifically mentioned the miners in Duke Town.
If Lasis II survived, and the Jiulian God System did not change, after Amon made a fuss about Memphis, most people would not intentionally find fault with him, unless there was conclusive evidence that the general had committed serious crimes. But now everything has changed, the power structure of the empire is being reorganized, and Prime Minister Joseph is the staunchest supporter of the new Pharaoh's monotheistic reform, perhaps it is what he told Pharaoh's continent where the best craftsmen are.
Even if the prime minister didn't say anything, Pharaoh himself would ask Amon to express his opinion. This was not only the will of the gods but also the national policy of the empire. Amon said apologetically to the envoy of the city-state of Herac: "I can't predict what will happen today. Those craftsmen have already been dispatched to the territory of the Duke Plain."
The envoy said: "This is an order from Pharaoh, and it must be carried out. Your Majesty has just rewarded you with a large area of territory. It is only to requisition dozens of slaves. This is the most important thing for the empire at present. The general should immediately recall those slaves. .”
Amon nodded and said, "I will immediately send my personal guards to recall them."
The messenger said: "Thank you, General, I will wait for news in your territory."
John led a team of personal guards across the Ronnie God River, "recovered" Moses and the others who had set off along the official road, and returned two days later, reporting to Amon with a look of panic: "General, it's not good!" Yes, your slaves abandoned their carts and fled! We found their abandoned carriages on the official road by the river, and there were footprints into the deep mountains and dense forests. The mountains are too desolate, and we searched all day but couldn’t find them.”
Amon slapped the table and said: "What, they dare to run away? Keep looking, and take them directly to the city-state of Herac after finding it!" Then he said to the messenger: "I'm really sorry, those slaves have escaped, please report the truth to Pharaoh. I would like to donate a large amount of money to the empire to build the Temple of An-Ra."
Slaves escaped from time to time. The facts are clear. General Amon did not lie. Beyond the value of dozens of ordinary slaves.
The envoy didn't know the inside story, and thought that his mission was completed successfully. Although the general's slave ran away, he donated a thousand sacred stones, so he comforted Amon and returned to the city-state of Herac. Reported the situation to the capital.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the report, Pharaoh attached great importance to it, and immediately sent an order to reward the general Amon with 200 slaves, in recognition of his large contribution to the Temple of Allah, and at the same time compensate the loss of his slaves' escape. Pharaoh also ordered the city-states across the country to assist the general in recovering the fugitive slaves, and specifically emphasized that these craftsmen were very important in the metaphor of the gods.
Amon frowned after receiving the order. Erlacht's move was unusual. He didn't simply summon the craftsmen, but he wanted this group of people. He actually ordered the whole country to the city-state for dozens of escaped slaves. But Pharaoh was unable to punish the general himself on the surface. Amon's slaves ran away and suffered losses, not to mention that he also donated a lot of money.
Facing such "great love" from the Pharaoh of the empire, General Amon was also very "grateful". He scolded John and other "incompetent" personal guards in the territory, and angrily dismissed John as the captain of the personal guards and wanted to drive him back. Memphis. John begged: "Grand General, please give me a chance to make meritorious deeds. Although you have dismissed me as the captain of the personal guard, I still need to make up for my mistakes."
Amon nodded and said: "John, you have nothing to do with me. Since you want to help this general, for Pharaoh's sake, I will give you a warrant. You lead all my personal guards along the official road Go find them, even if you chase them beyond the border of Eju, you must find them!"
John bowed to the ground and said: "Thank you, General, if I can't find them, I will never come to see you!"
John was dismissed by Amon. In order to redeem his mistake, he asked the general to let him continue to bring his personal guards to find the escaped slave. All of this was voluntary, and it seemed that he was executing the order of Pharaoh. In fact, before that, Amon asked John in private: "Pharaoh issued orders to the city-states across the country for dozens of fugitive slaves. This move is extraordinary. It seems that I will leave Eju sooner or later. After I leave , what do you do?"
John replied without thinking: "Of course I will continue to follow God Amon and take Themis Fei with you."
Amon smiled: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave at that time, I will give you two options now, one is to relieve you from the position of the captain of the personal guard, it has nothing to do with me, return to Mengfeisi and continue to be an idle general .The second option is still to relieve you of your duties, but give you a chance to go where I am going."
John: "Of course it's the second choice. To tell you the truth, all your personal guards will follow you to the death. If you leave the Aiju, their fate will be very miserable. Please also consider the general."
Amon nodded: "You are very thoughtful, then I will let you take them all away."
Amon asked John to lead all the guards to chase the fugitive slaves along the official road, just to give them a chance to leave the border of Eju and go to the Duke Plain. General Amon dismissed the people around him really cleanly. All the clansmen fled, Medanzo and Link also left, and now even John is gone, not even a personal guard left behind!
There are only servants in the territory around him, which means that he lives alone in a huge strange territory, but he seems very calm. Amon thought very clearly, if Pharaoh really wanted to harm him, he could leave at any time, but the people around him would definitely be implicated, so it was better to prepare early. He is now a polished general with a cat by his side.
Amon didn't want to take the initiative to "treason". If he was convicted of this crime, too many people would be implicated, including his subordinates and the adults who recommended him. What's more, after John left, Amon had already started to unlock the seal for Schrödinger, and he didn't have the time and energy to deal with other things.
However, Pharaoh Eju attached great importance to recovering the people of Duke Town, far exceeding ordinary people's expectations. Behind Pharaoh's order, there were even shadows of gods.
…
Moses led the people along the barren hills on the east bank of the Loni River, through the untouched dense forest, from the city-state of Helios to the north to the territory of the city-state of Bubas. Here the official road turned eastward, and they had to cross the official road and walk into another mountain to avoid being followed. Moses led his people to hide in the mountains, hoping to wait until late at night when there was no one on the official road.
However, at night he heard the voice of the envoy again, and Medanzuo told him that he could not leave at night and had to wait until dawn. Sure enough, that night, the city-state garrison holding torches passed by the official road several times in a row. If they saw Moses and others, they would not be able to escape.
At dawn, Moses heard Medanzo's voice again: "You can go."
Moses woke up the sleeping clansmen, quietly came to the official road, and walked a certain distance along the road. This place is far away from the town, the people on the road have not yet passed by, the nearby farms are still sleeping, and there is a cloud in the sky that always covers them. They ventured through this densely populated open area and entered another desolate mountain area, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After trekking for several days in the bush-covered hills, in many places, we had to cut open the brambles with a knife to open the way. Everyone was carrying heavy things, and even the strong miners were tired. This afternoon, they came to a river, which was a tributary of the lower reaches of the Roni River and an important source of water for irrigating the land near the city-state of Bubas. Moses ordered everyone to stop and rest, and took out the utensils to light a fire for cooking.
After they built an earthen stove and picked firewood, Moses ordered six of the twelve judges to be on duty to perform magic so as not to let the thick smoke from the fire rise, so as not to be discovered. As soon as the fire was lit, the clansman sent to fetch water from the river stumbled back and reported: "It's not good, a terrible miracle has appeared, and the river has turned into blood!"
Moses hurriedly led the people to the river. The flowing water was glowing dark red, and there was a faint smell of blood. Someone shouted in horror: "Didn't it say that the gods will protect us? But miracles are blocking our way."
