Aman'Thul in Marvel Universe
Chapter 9 People of Lower Egypt
Shawar is a village near a tributary of the Nile River. The people who first settled here called their settlement Shawar because they believed in the god Shawar to show their faith and worship Shawar. As time went by, This Lower Egyptian village has gathered hundreds of people and can be called a large tribe.
At this moment, Chawar was more crowded than usual, but also unusually solemn, because a motorcade came to the village to rest.The most inconspicuous among this group of visitors are officials that the villagers dare not provoke; the soldiers who conquered this land are surrounding them, drinking water and eating. There is no doubt that this is a group of people who are enough to scare the villagers; and In the middle of the team, a large flag was erected. No one knew the noble figure in the middle, but the eye pattern symbolizing omniscience on the flag undoubtedly meant that one of the only five divine envoys of the dynasty was among them.
This group of people was the team led by Amman who was preparing to build a new royal city.
"Shali, come back quickly." A little boy in the village was curious about the shining weapons and armor of the soldiers in the team. He sneaked up behind a soldier without others noticing, stretched out his little hand and touched it. When her mother discovered Shi couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and shouted anxiously but not daring to show off.
The movement behind caught the soldier's attention. Sitting on the ground, he turned around and met the boy's eyes.Originally, children should arouse people's goodwill, but he had no sympathy or patience for the children of Lower Egypt, so the soldier waved his arms and threw the little boy to the ground, and shouted viciously: "Get away, you little bastard."
"Wow" being treated so rudely and with the pain on his body, the child cried immediately. After his mother hugged him quickly, not only did she not dare to show any resentment, she kowtowed sincerely and said: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." "
Scanning the surrounding villagers, he saw that some people dared to be angry but dared not speak. He curled his lips in disdain, and then said to his colleagues around him: "If you ask me, these pigs from Lower Egypt should be killed. Light, they don’t deserve such good rivers and land.”
Other soldiers heard the words and echoed. Many of them were battle-hardened veterans. They had fought against the ununified Lower Egypt before Apocalypse completed the war of conquest six years ago. The blood feud accumulated during the process was beyond words. Naturally, They are also the group of people who hate Lower Egypt the most and have the most radical and bad attitudes.
When the villagers of Shawar heard this, they didn't even dare to look at them, because the hatred they could not help but cast would bring death to themselves and the villagers.
At this time, a low-level logistics officer came on stage with two officials. They stood in front of the villagers and said: "The Pharaoh has an order to build a new royal capital a hundred miles in front of the river, and the project will be entirely carried out by the people of Lower Egypt. Complete it to show your naturalization and loyalty to Pharaoh. Now, all the males in the village who are over ten years old and have sound limbs come to gather. If there is anyone who cheats, escapes, or hides, the whole family will be executed when discovered."
"what"
"Sir, please be tolerant. If the land is taken away, there will be no one to work on it."
"Neve, my lord, my Neve is only eight years old, my lord."
For a moment, everyone was noisy, some were angry, some were begging for mercy, and some were hoping to get away with it, but no one dared to deceive or resist.
"Why are you making so much noise?" the logistics officer waved away the villagers and scolded, "There is no flexibility in Pharaoh's order. Now all the men line up in front of me."
After speaking, he lowered his voice and said somewhat vaguely: "Others can also take the initiative to sign up. Those who participate in the project will directly become citizens of the kingdom after the completion."
"What did you say?" asked a muscular man at the front of the queue.
"I didn't say anything." The logistics officer waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up and register, name, age.
Naturally, the Horus envoy in the team saw all this.
Seeing Amman frowning, Twosla, who was quite intolerant and angry about this, said directly: "Sir, you still don't care about the Egyptians who are also subjects of the kingdom, and they don't even carry out the true will of the Pharaoh, too Too much"
In this case, Amman couldn't afford to joke, but he knew that justice here was of little significance. Not only was it useless for the overall situation, but it would also easily alienate the team from him.The key point is that when the project actually starts, ensuring that Apocalypse's promise to the Lower Egyptians that they can become citizens after completing the construction is known and followed by everyone is the fundamental way to solve the problem.
Seeing that Anman just shook his head but made no move, Twosla became dissatisfied with his indifference and directly took the fruit that was originally presented to Anman after the meal into his hand, biting it hard while glaring at Anman.
Anman couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but still didn't give any indication that there was still more to go on the road ahead. If he had to step in to restrain the team every time, he wouldn't be able to lead it. When the Memphis site was built, he would use the authority of the divine envoy just right. By setting the rules, Twosla will naturally know his intentions.
So the team continued to move forward with the addition of hundreds of strong laborers. Along the way, the team passed through hundreds of villages or tribes, recruiting laborers along the way. When Amman and his party arrived at their destination two months later At that time, there were more than [-] Lower Egyptians in the team.
During the journey, Amman did not intervene in all the management arrangements for the people of Lower Egypt, including the provision of supplies to some people who were not well prepared for water and food. Instead, he left full power to the officials in charge of logistics to make decisions and implement them, because although he had the intention, But the results of zero experience are likely to be worse than the simple and crude methods of those people.
Therefore, after arriving in Memphis to build the site, a series of preparations such as raw materials and division of labor were still done by the officials. Half a month later, everything was ready and construction could finally begin.
"Is everyone here?" Anman looked at the crowded crowd in front of him and asked the official in charge beside him.
"Yes, angel."
"Okay." Anman nodded, motioned for him to step back, and then slowly rose into the air under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
His metallic skin was shining in the sunlight, and arcane energy was surging around him. He deliberately created all of this to have the greatest impact on everyone present, so that all his subsequent words and actions would impress people. Don't dare to ignore and forget.
Facing the majestic divine messenger, the officials and soldiers who oppressed the Lower Egyptians were the first to kneel down devoutly, chanting Horus, and then tens of thousands of workers, after being shocked, either sincerely or forced He fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Bring this stone." Amman raised his hand, and a stone half the size of a man fell in front of the Lower Egyptians under his control. "Whoever comes to me, I will reward him with ten taels of gold."
Amman's voice was amplified by the power of magic so that everyone could hear it clearly. The people in Lower Egypt who heard the words looked at each other, many of them were eager to try but also doubtful.In the past, there were many masters who played tricks on them with various tricks and dishonest words. Some of them not only did not get the promises they deserved, but even had to pay a heavy price, so they had no choice but to be timid.
Twelve taels of gold was a lot of money for the people from Upper Egypt. It was enough to cover the expenses of many of their families for more than a year. However, what they had to do was only so simple, so many people exposed themselves. There was a greedy look on his face, but the God's envoy's attitude was clearly conveyed to the people of Lower Egypt, so they could only look on with greed, and then felt puzzled and even a little dissatisfied.
"Twenty taels of gold." Seeing that no one came forward, Anman said again.
People's breathing became heavier.The Lower Egyptians, who had always been submissive and fearful of making any mistakes, also began to whisper among themselves.
"Why don't you give it a try? In front of so many people, a divine envoy shouldn't regret it."
"I can't tell, maybe it's some new trick, a different way to punish us."
"What you said makes sense. I think it's better to be honest. Alas, I really hope I can survive this corvee and go back to see my Varia. He is only one and a half years old. If I can go back, he will definitely not know me."
“Shariva Blessings”
The crowd kept talking, but still no one came forward.Amman was not in a hurry. In order to break the distrust, rejection and even hatred of the Lower Egyptians that he had seen and experienced along the way, he had the patience and capital, so he once again raised the reward: "30 taels of gold. Only 30 taels of gold." If you need to move this stone in front of me, I will give that person [-] taels of gold."
"Wow!" This time the people's voices were louder. The people of Lower Egypt no longer talked covertly, and the people of Upper Egypt also started discussing. The few who wanted to scold and stop these situations were stopped by the gods.
"I don't care, this life is not worth 30 taels. I'll give it a try."
Among the crowd, a rude man stood out.He squeezed through the crowd of compatriots in Lower Egypt, stood in front of the stone, raised his head and said to Amman: "God's envoy, as long as I bring this stone to you, I will get 30 taels of gold."
"How dare you, you untouchable, why don't you kneel down?"
The soldiers on the side yelled and even came out to take the Egyptian man away.
Anman waved his hand and pushed the soldiers back to their original position with a strong force, and then replied: "Yes, if you move over, I will give you 30 taels of gold."
"Okay, I'm done," the man shouted carelessly, then he leaned over and picked up the stone, walked step by step and placed the stone under Amman high in the sky.
"Very good." Anman nodded, glanced around at the crowd of people in front of him who were watching him, then stretched out his right hand, and gold coins flew out of his shirt and floated in his palm.
He held the gold coin and announced loudly: "He has completed the task I mentioned, so he is qualified to receive these 30 taels of gold."
I saw the gold coins in his hand shining brightly in the sun, and then the pile of shining gold quickly flew to the man's face, and he accepted them all.
The big man who got the gold coin was excited, and the people of Lower Egypt were shocked and regretful. Amman spoke with divine power in the noise, overwhelming all the voices: "In my place, the rules must be obeyed, and the law is above all else. Today, I would like to express my gratitude to you." You announce the promise made by the Pharaoh and me. All the people of Lower Egypt who participated in the construction of the royal capital and the Tower of the Sun, your sacrifices will be rewarded. After the completion of the project, a new code of law will be promulgated in the kingdom, and you will become members of the new code of law. Official citizen of Nisutiu Kingdom"
When the group of war criminals and slaves in Lower Egypt were stunned by the huge surprise, Amman shouted, not high-pitched but powerful enough: "Start work!"
At this moment, Chawar was more crowded than usual, but also unusually solemn, because a motorcade came to the village to rest.The most inconspicuous among this group of visitors are officials that the villagers dare not provoke; the soldiers who conquered this land are surrounding them, drinking water and eating.
