Chapter Eight Part 2 of 3: The Genocide

Horus
(falcon mode)
(ancient Egypt)
For the time to come, Anubis kept his promise, the tax rate drop to 45%, in exchange to service to Seth, once per day, every week. Those who are to serve Seth, was brought to the outside of the city and farm the land, there was some reluctant amount certain civilians, especially in the beginning and soldiers was needed to round them up and force them to work. Ammit remain in command of the soldiers, to be used as a police force, to keep the rioters under control but, there are no further genocide and a curfew was been put in place, with the exception of the leaders of the riot that Anubis got no choice but to kill, the rest of the rioters remain untouched.

The prayer would be put in practice in standard time three times a day. Anubis would personally lead the prayer

“Holy, holy, holy is the lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come.” the leaders of the city would say in the prayer

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by your will they were created and have their being” the peasants are suppose to say, but many would resist, and need to be forced onto their knee to pray, by the soldiers. They would still refuse to say the words of the prayer.

“Holy, holy, holy is the lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come.” the leaders of the city would say for a second time, on their knees

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by your will they were created and have their being” the peasants would need to say

and finally the third time.

“Holy, holy, holy is the lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come.” the leaders of the city would say for the third and last time

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by your will they were created and have their being” the peasants would need to say and the morning prayer is over.

Afterwards, it be the noon prayer, and evening prayer, that is the same, to the morning prayer. 

It is proven that Anubis' plan work and as the months past the fuel of the riot started to seize.

Ma'at has for a long time worry that Anubis is not able to control the military after Seth's death and that Michael would most likely kill Anubis and take the throne as pharaoh, himself, find her answer in the city of Cynopolis.

Within the capital Michael was still furious. He wants his genocide, he dream of his genocide, he desire his genocide, it make him feel powerful, it make him feel mighty, after so many years, this is the first time that Michael had the opportunity to genocide so many people and Anubis took it away from him, it make Michael really upset and bring him to the brink of tears.

Like most thugs, Michael is more or less a narcissist, so just like gangsters would label cops to be bullies for arresting them for selling women into sex trafficking, despite it is the gangsters that are doing something wrong here, so is Michael, label Anubis to be the bully, for not letting him have his beloved genocide and that make Michael both upset and angry.

So, Michael went to Seth, he said that the riot of Cynopolis is over, the people are now like a plate of sand, this is the best chance to genocide that city, as it is hard for the city to gathered as one, again.

But Anubis ain't an idiot, he is prepared for it, amount the one division of soldiers that was left remaining within the city, of Cynopolis, only the ordinary regiments remain in the city, the Templar regiment was ordered to make camp outside the city. After the situation associate with the riot calm down, two regiment was order to leave the city. The remaining two regiments, Ammit, was quick to replace their Captains, Lieutenants and Regiment commanders, with those chosen from Anubis' personal body guards.

The advantage of been Seth's son is that, there are certain things, other people would lose their head over, Anubis is able to get away with it. When Michael came with one division of soldiers to genocide the city of Cynopolis, Anubis ride out with one regiment of soldiers. Fearing that the riot would again happen within the city, Anubis order for Ammit to oversight the security of the city, to prevent rioting.

Anubis and Michael again met in front of Seth, where Anubis talk about how the people of Cynopolis pray to Seth at least three times a day and their weekly service to Seth and how dare Michael try to mislead Seth, with false information.

Michael is angered "Are you saying our lord, God Almighty could possibly make a mistake?" Michael said

"The mistake is not within our Lord God Almighty, but with you!" Anubis was quick on his feet. "Or do you think, you are able to deceive our Lord God Almighty!"

This got Michael frighten.

"Enough." Seth said "The people of Cynopolis need to be punish for their sin."

"And they have repent for their sins, father. Sure, the Lord God Almighty know that to reward those who repent and let them join you in paradise." Anubis said

Seth smiled "Yes, of course. The city of Cynopolis should be rewarded, from this day forward, Cynopolis need only pay 40% tax and should be awarded with many food and water for their service to their god almighty. But they should remember my wrath and their loyalty to me, the once a day service to me, should be replace by a sabbath, the seventh day of the week should be left to worship me. But the rest is no longer necessary." Seth said

"Thank you, father." Anubis said

"But, my Lord..." Michael said

"Are you questioning the will of our Lord, God All Mighty? Saying that he could be wrong?" Anubis said

Michael dare not to speak more and kept his silent

"No, Prince Anubis." Michael said

With that, Anubis was increasingly beloved by the people of the city of Cynopolis and Cynopolis grew wealthy. Ma'at increasingly realize how Cynopolis can be the power base that Anubis need, in case of Seth's death, if Seth passed away, before he make Anubis the horseman of war and the General of his army.

A further problem with Seth is that under his rule, the government is corrupted, the higher rank it goes, the worse to get, the same applies for the city of Cynopolis. Anubis first make a massive human resource change, to civil servants. He started by changing the leadership, with those that are good men and then the leader can change those below them and so on. For the city guards, Anubis only use people that are from the city of Cynopolis. When there are guard duties, there will be part time para-city guards working on rotation basis and the full time city guards. The para-city guard work on a three week rotation basis, so at any given time, the guard of each town, would include a sector with twenty-five city guards and twenty-five para-city guard, under the command of the Lieutenant. As for the city guards that was suppose to be under the command of the Governor of Southern Egypt, Anubis exercise his privilege of been Seth's son, and convince him, to replace them, with his own body guards, with Ammit, as their commander, as a result, the Governor is not able to control these guards, as they are all loyal to Anubis.

When Horus, Neith, Hathor and Serket enter the city, they saw a level of peace and prosperity, unseen in any other part of the known world. The four of them was quick to first check into an inn. Their next step is to find a way to infiltrate the military camp to steal the herbs that is required. Horus and Neith through talking to the people in the city realize there is a large deposit of the herb within the city, but those are reserve for the military that is travelling towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Neith, Hathor, Horus and Serket learn that in three days, one logistic army division would be travelling to the city of Cynopolis and they would be here to carry the herbs to the front line and advantage is the lack of carts, most herbs needed to be carry by soldiers, in woven baskets. The thing about the ancient world 5000 years ago, is a lack of carriage. What modern archaeology find is that building a cart without at least bronze tools are extremely expensive and in this era, bronze tools are still highly lacking. A historian from Chinese national museum once said, when he was in university, one thing he can't understand is, one of the reasons Europeans was able to defeat the native Americans, is due to the native Americans lack carts. As a result, the native American army's logistic supply was extremely costly, even all women were been drafted into the army logistic, carrying supplies via woven baskets. It played a major role in regards to why the European could defeat the native Americans, after becoming a historian, he finally understand why, a cart is almost impossible to make, with stone tools. Cart is only cheap to make, via tools that is bronze age or further. With a lack of bronze, native American's can't enter the bronze age, not able to enter the bronze age mean they can't enter the iron age, the cost of creating a wooden cart been pulled by horses, using pre bronze age stone tool, probably cost more then buying a Ferrari! Especially creating the wheel, to make a perfect circle! Thus, you can image how wealthy Horus and Ishtar must be, where Horus can even afford having a carriage, pulled by his horse, for his goods.

Women are by default love oriented, men are by default career oriented, that is just an evolution instinct. 

At the lawless boarder of Ming dynasty China, what will happen when a notorious female crime lord that spend her life climbing the ladder to become the head of the male dominated criminal world, fall in love with a cop?
