Adam was furious about the thief that entered the camp last night and demanded and wanted to enter the city of Cynopolis to find the thief. Standing in front of the forces of Adam, half of all Cynopolis' city guards and para-city guards, standing in battle formation.The rest are all in the city been recalled to active duty. Riding out to greet Adam was Anubis and Ammit. Together that is up to two thousand soldiers.
Adam's soldiers were also in formation, as Adam demanded for Anubis to open the city gate and let his men in.
"Cynopolis got it rules, brother, without the order of our father, no outside army may enter." Anubis said
"I don't care what is your rule! There was a thief. I will take this city by force, if I need to!" Adam yelled
"You really want to fight? I am prepare for it. Give me the time and I will find the thief myself, but if you try to take this city by force, don't you dare think, I will hesitate." Anubis said
Adam was angry and gave his soldier the order.
"Ammit" Anubis said
"Yes Sir." Ammit respond and made a hand signal.
In battle formation, every city guard of Cynopolis was ready to fight, the first platoon two squares of twenty five stand in the front, the first two line of those two square raise their shield and had their spear raised. The third, fourth and fifth line are archers, each with the arrow drawn. The second platoon run backup for the first platoon. Standing right behind them in two squares, one at the left, the other at the right. Third and fourth platoon stand in the same formation, next to the first and second platoon. The fifth platoon stand in the back, prepare to run backup for the first, second, third and fourth platoon. The first company stood on the front left, the second company on the front right. The third company stood behind the first company preparing to be their backup, the fourth company stood behind the second company, preparing to be their back up.
"I've got an entire Division and you got only one regiment, you think that you really got enough?" Adam said
"I got more reserves, in the city. In addition, may I remind you, your soldiers are logistic. Mine are combat. Give me time and I will find you, your thief, but if you try to run this city by force, you better prepare yourself for a fight. Or do you want explaining to father, why you wasted his soldiers away over a little quarrel." Anubis said
Angrily, Adam ordered for his soldiers to stand down.
Anubis and Ammit ride to the back of their army.
"Keep all para-city guards on active duties with the city guards. Do not let anybody in or out of the city." Anubis said to Ammit.
"Yes my Lord" Ammit replied
"Major, whatever happen do not let that army enter the city, understand?" Anubis said to the commander
"Yes my Lord" the Major said
"What we do about the thief, my Lord?" Ammit asked
"After father order for over 99% of medical herb to be given to the government in tax, for his campaign against Baal, there aren't enough herbs left. The military got way more herb then it actually need. The city of Cynopolis got enough medical herb, but its nearby village that is a different story. We need to first find out what sort of diseases the stolen herb can cure and check the villages to see whether there are wide spread of those diseases in those villages. But first, we need to get rid of Adam and his army Division." Anubis said
"Find some gangsters, put the blame on them, say they steal the herb to be sold in the black market. Cut on their tongue, so, they cannot speak to defend themselves and execute them in front of Adam and his army." Anubis said
"Yes, my Lord" Ammit replied. "But, how many gangster, should we captured?"
"As many as you deem fit, who cares, they are just gangsters." Anubis said
"Yes, my Lord" Ammit replied
So. Ammit went to execute Anubis' orders. Anubis rode back to the Regiment of troops, that is standing there against Adam's men.
As instructed by Anubis, the group of city guards tasked with finding the thief, put the blame on a group of thugs. They pick a gang that has multiple record of assaulting against shop keepers and forcing them to pay protection fee. The soldiers charged into their homes, during the night and capture all thirty gang members and cut out their tongues as instructed. The thugs was been tied up and thrown in front of the army of Adam. the city guards brought forward private herb of Anubis palace, which Eve gave to the city guards, to used to put the blame on the thugs. The city guards claim for these to be the herbs stolen by the gangsters, from the military camp, to be sold on the black market and place it, in front of Adam's army.
"How would you like to execute them, brother?" Anubis said
"Depends on you, brother" Adam said
Anubis took a look at the boss of the gang, a man in his fifties that got track record of violent crime. Next to him, is his son that is no better.
Anubis ordered for the mobsters' to be tied up and all four of their limbs been chopped off. Afterwards, the mobsters son and daughters were arrested, their sons was been put on trial by the men of their village and their daughters was been put on trial by the women of their village, if their sons and daughter are found guilty to be thugs by the people of the village. They will be tied up in front of their mobster fathers.
Anubis original wanted to order for their sons to be tied up and be ass rape, in front of their mobster fathers, but then he remember Seth's law regarding gay sex. Maybe a reason Seth is so against gay sex, is the fear that if he was ever been defeated and is been sentence for his crime, his sentencing would also involved, him been ass rape that is why he is so eager to kill off all gay men, so there be nobody to rape him, if that day come.
Anubis order for if the mobster's son is found guilty of been a thug, they should cut off his genitals and feed it to the wolves and then his chest cut open and his heart dug out, in front of his mobster father, as his father is been forced to watch. If his daughter is found guilty of been a thug, she would be raped, in front of her mobster father and then she should be chained up and offer to the soldiers of Adam as sex slaves, if she is beautiful, beheaded if she is ugly.
Then, the corps of those sons and daughters of the mobsters, should be cooked and the mobsters should be forced to eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters.
Afterwards, Anubis ordered for all the mobster fathers to have their eyes dug out, so the image of how their son was been torture to death and how their daughters was been raped and kill, is the last thing they see and afterwards throw them into the dungeon for the rest of their life. As for those mobsters with no sons or daughter that is been found guilty of been a thug by their fellow villagers, these mobsters was been executed via having each of their limb been tied to a horse and let the horse pull them in four opposite directions, until they were been torn into four pieces and die.
"Is that enough of a punishment for you, brother?" Anubis said
Adam nodded. Adam is not truly satisfy or fully believe these thugs are the one that stole the herb, it almost seem too convenient, especially considering Adam knows that Anubis hate to torture anything that is not a thug. Anubis won't even torture an animal. Thugs, are the only one, he won't hesitate to torture or kill. However, Adam has been delayed here for five days and got no choice but to leave. So, Adam told Anubis that he is satisfy and order his soldiers to move forward and to the Mediterranean Sea.

Anubis woke up in the morning, naked in bed. His wife Eve was also naked sleeping next to him. Anubis was quick to get dressed.
“My Lord” Eve was still a little bit sleepy
“Hey.” Anubis said, he kissed his wife in the forehead, before returning to his task.
Anubis knows that after what happened yesterday, Adam is not going to take it lightly and having already wasted one night, due to the effect of the succubus, Adam might already have done much.
Anubis was quick to exit the room, soldiers was standing on guard outside
“Find Ammit, we got work to do.” Anubis said to the soldier
“Yes, My Lord” the soldier said
***
Hathor woke up extremely early in the morning. She was in a good mood, after last night. Serket return to the inn with some hot tea. She is not that warm with Horus after what happened, yesterday, but as an expert on toxin Serket know that Horus still got some toxin within his body that need time to get out, the tea she got can help to rid the body of the effect of the succubus powder completely, Serket woke up early, to go to the market, to get the ingredient and ask the inn kitchen to boil the ingredient in water, she still consider Horus as a friend and she is still a witch doctress.
Serket knock on the door of Hathor’s room “Tell Horus to drink this, it will help to combat the effect of the powder.” Serket said to Hathor
“What powder” Hathor asked
Serket just remember that Hathor would know nothing about Horus was been under the effect of succubus last night.
“Just give Horus the tea, he would know what you are talking about, tell him to drink it while its hot.” Serket said
“Why don’t you come in and give it to him, yourself?” Hathor said
But consider what happened last night, Serket, really don’t want to talk to Horus right now.
Serket thought for a second, she know that Hathor had a major crush on Horus for ages and doesn’t have the heart to tell her that Horus was under effect of the succubus powder. Plus, whether Horus ever remember what happened last night was questionable.
“Alright” Serket said.
Hathor left the room to go wash up for the morning. When Horus woke up a little while later, he had a massive head ace.
“You was effected by the succubus powder yesterday.” Serket said
Horus head was still acing. Upon Hathor’s bed there was a little bit of blood, on the sheet, virgin blood.
“Did I rape anybody last night.” Horus asked
“No” Serket replied “What was the last thing you remember”
“Its all a blur. I came back here, still under the effect of the powder and I went to knock on Hathor’s door and...” Horus sentence suddenly stop
There was silent in the room
Serket isn’t sure why Horus stopped, is it because he realized the first woman he had sex with last night, was her or did he think for the entire night, it was Hathor all along.
Serket broke the silent “You like Hathor, don’t you?” Serket said
"It is just lust, people get over it." Horus said
"I think there are more then just lust. You got couple faces." Serket said
Couple faces 夫妻臉 another pagan superstitious proven by modern science, it has been proven, while seeking a romantic relationship that translate beyond lust, but turn into lasting love, it is most likely to happen between two people that are genetic opposite, the more two people are genetically opposite, the more likely the two people can better appreciate their positive qualities and tolerate the negative quality and thus, let romantic love develop. When the genetic opposite is great enough, it is even possible a beautiful woman that all man desire, would chose a poor broke beta male, over an alpha male that is also a prince charming and a handsome man might chose the fat and ugly girl over the pretty girl that is how strong of an effect, genetic influence can effect people on a neuropsychology level. It is also why incest gross most people out, your sister can be the most beautiful woman in the world that every man desire, but only one person would be gross out by the very thought of having sex with her, because as her brother, you two are far too genetic similar. This is an evolution instinct as the genetic opposite can better produce healthy offspring. On the other hand, genetically far too similar, can produce offspring that are stupid are more likely to suffer physical or mental illness.
However, most of these people that got great genetic opposite, their face generally look very similar on first glace, but once you look in detail, most of their characters are exactly opposite to each other. Ancient people refer to this as couple face and while seeking an arrange marriage for their children, apart from seen whether they make a good couple via looking at their astrology charts, they will also see if the two children got couple faces, the evidence prove of the couple face thing work, is amount countries whose religion believe is mainly pagan and that pagan religion believe in couple face, a high rate of arrange marriages work out very well and are very happy together, during the era where arrange marriage was the norm and even today, couple with higher rate of couple face, are also less likely to get divorce, while those with lower rate of couple face, are way more likely to get divorce. The genetic opposite thing, do create a lot of odd and unusual couples, former US President Bill Clinton is well known to be a womanizer that just wanted to party even when he was in college, his wife former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton was well known to be an ambition driven woman and a radical feminist, a lot of people doesn't understand why somebody like Hilary Clinton would repeatedly forgive her husband's affair, but even those who know them in college, fail to understand how a radical feminist and a womanizer would ended up together. Legionary martial artists Bruce Lee, is already an ultimate alpha male and a nice guy with bad boy attitude, in his 20s, guys like that can have any women he want, however, while, most movie depicting Bruce Lee's life, had an extremely beautiful actress playing his wife Linda Lee, from real photos when they were young, Linda Lee is at most lower average in appearance. British actress Kiera Knightly, is a complete dream girl with a networth over 60 million, most women like this go for guys that make just as much money or more money then her, yet, she is in a happy married with a working class musician that struggle to just live paycheck to paycheck and got as little muscle as you typical teen movie nerd.
Ishtar and Osiris is another odd couple, made possible by sufficient genetic opposite, they might be getting together due to Ishtar's admiring of Osiris, been able to save the world through the art of agriculture, but it is their genetic opposite allowing them to have a relationship strong enough to stay together. By all logic, this is a relationship that can't survive and would split apart, very quickly, due to there are much for both party to endure.
Despite, admiring Osiris been able to saved the world with the art of agriculture, allows Ishtar to fall in love with Osiris, it doesn't change the fact that Osiris is still a cripple and that is a major turn off for any woman and the idea of having sex with a cripple can make many woman's skin crawl. In addition, all men wants to be alpha, all women wants to be with an alpha, it is an evolution instinct and as a result of that, like all women, Ishtar like an alpha male and that mean when she excel in something, she hope her husband to further excel in that arena and like all men, when the women over excel over him in a certain arena, especially in terms of making money or as a warrior, it can be intimidating and cause some men to lose interest in her. It goes as far as, amount adults, women prefer men taller then her and men, doesn't really like the idea of their wife been taller then him, despite most can live with it, if it is not taller by too much. Thus regardless how much she admire Osiris, it doesn't change the fact she is a extremely fit and great warrior and Osiris is a cripple and a nerd. On the other hand, a tough warrior woman is already pretty intimidating idea for most men that are not warrior, let along a cripple. In addition, Ishtar is a lustful woman. The school of the Amazon doesn't exactly encourage marriage, instead encourage orgy for pro creation, helping to create a sexual liberal culture amount the Amazonian and Ishtar is an extremely lustful woman, by the age of sixteen, Ishtar already had sex with sixteen different men and lost her virginity when she was only thirteen. For a woman like that, it take a man that she really like very much, for her to be willing to commit and for her to be able to commit. In fact Ishtar love Osiris so much, not only she never cheated on Osiris, even after the death of Osiris, she is not able to enjoy herself taking on another lover or having sex with another man and never did it again, despite her lustful nature, after all despite she cannot have sex as much as she once had, due to needing to be a good mother to Horus, it doesn't mean she need to start been a nun. On the other hand, Osiris due to his crippling body, was still a virgin, men are not big fan of the idea of their partners having former sexual partner, let along if he never had sex before, knowing she had sex with so many men before, can be a deal breaker, as he is not able to endure it. Most men that never had so many lover, prefer women that also had very few lovers, in the past, especially those that she had sex with. In fact fearing that her sexual past would become a deal breaker for Osiris, the night before their wedding, Ishtar led to of her two handmaids into Osiris' room, to have sex with him, something else most women, probably won't be able to endure or is willing to do, even knowing it is their boyfriend's bachelor party and technically speaking they are not yet married. Yet, by all odds a relationship that by all reasonable logic shouldn't be able to survive, didn't ended up in a quick break up, with Ishtar cheating on Osiris, Osiris start having an affair or breaking up with Ishtar due to her sexual past or Ishtar can not endure Osiris' crippling body or her own desire for been with a great warrior. That is the power of genetic opposite, it can help to create a relationship strong enough to endure all those things, sometime to an extend, where it doesn't even bother them. And despite genetic opposite cannot create love at first sight, it is great at creation love at second sight. It was part of the reason, Sin wanted Ishtar to be Osiris' bodyguard, Sin might married her daughters for political alliance, but she won't be willing to do it so easily, without at least seen there are sufficient couple face and if Seth didn't turn out to be such a bad person, Nephthys wouldn't have left him, either, it is unlikely any degree of couple face can endure something like that.
“I am afraid she is still too young.” Horus replied
“She is sixteen and you are only eighteen. I think she is old enough to know what she wants.” Serket said
“True, but when we first met, she was only fifteen. Do you really know she is making a good decision in a clear head?” Horus said
Serket smiled “In one more year, she will be seventeen. If she still like you by then, you can be certain that you are not taking advantage of her. I do hope that you will ask for her hand in marriage by then.” Serket said
“I am sorry if this hurt your feelings.” Horus said
Serket smiled “Don’t be, I image the future. My husband is somebody that I like and he like me back, the same way. I don’t think I want to be a substitute.” Serket said
“For what it worth, I do like you.” Horus said
“I know and I like you too, but, in my dream, I hopes to be the first preference of my husband, not second. I know I am twenty one, pretty old for a woman that is still unwed, but I don’t want to settle. I don’t mind staying unwed forever, if that is what it means to be.” Serket said
“I understand.” Horus said
Serket smiled “Drink the tea, it will get rid of the succubus, inside your system.” Serket said
“Thanks” Horus replied
“Why did you use the succubus powder, I thought you change the formula into that of a sleeping powder?” Serket asked
“I ran out of the powder with the exchange formula. The succubus powder is made by five form of nature resource and cooked under fire, until it form a new form of powder crystal. It can be an addictive substance and taking to much of it and you will die. The powder is cursed by the demons. What I did is again cook the powder with three other form of substances, it neutralize the curse of the demon and reduce the addictive effect, but only put those who are expose to it, into a deep trance. Yesterday, I ran out of my modified powder and when in danger, I threw a handful of the original powder, towards him. Surprisingly, his reflex was fast and quickly cover his face and wave the powder back towards my direction. We both got hit by some powder, despite, been able to use our hand to cover our nose, in time.” Horus said
“Somebody that is a match against you, there are not many amount the army of Seth that can do it, unless it is...a member of the twenty-four elders” Serket said
“I don't think he is a member of the twenty-four elders. I remember each of their faces, from our last fight.” Horus said
“But whoever, he is, the succubus powder effected him and gave me the time to get away. It effected both of us and the powder took effects within a few minutes. But I was able to pull myself together and return to the inn. But, as the night pass, everything become more and more of a blur.” Horus said
“Drink the tea it helps to remove any more succubus powder toxin remain in your body, from your urine.” Serket said
“I thought your specialization is scorpion toxin.” Horus said
“True, but I know some about other form of toxin, also.” Serket said
What Serket and Horus didn’t know is that Hathor was outside the door. She didn’t hear the entire conversation, only the last part where Horus talk about been effected by the succubus powder and everything became a blur, after returning to the inn.
Hathor was upset, she thought that Horus came to her room that night, because he like her, but after hearing that conversation, it is her conclusion that Horus was only in her room that night, due to the effect of the succubus powder, nothing more.
Hathor ran out of the inn's building and into the back court yard of the inn, Hathor started crying. She was really upset, a little while later, she heard the sound of Horus coming. Horus wanted to check, if Hathor is alright, considering she been gone for so long. Hathor quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting Horus to see her cry.
“Hey” Hathor smiled
“Are you alright?” Horus said
“Of course” Hathor said
“Hathor, about last night...” Horus’ sentence was cut off
“Its alright.” Hathor quickly said “I know you were effected by the succubus powder and the only reason you did what you did, was due to the effect of the succubus. You weren’t yourself last night, I might not be a witch, like you or Serket, but I can tell that you were under the effect of the succubus. I slept with you, because you saved my life from slavery.” Hathor said,
Hathor might like Horus, but she still wants to save face, Hathor quickly smiled “I was about to be sold into becoming a sex slave, when you saved me, remember? If it isn’t because of you, I will be a sex slave by now that is why I was willing to do it, last night. You don’t need to worry about me, you didn’t rape me.” Hathor lied “But don’t get use to it, last night was a special circumstances, because you were under the effect of the succubus.” Hathor smiled
“Alright” Horus said
Hathor forced a smile onto her face and left the courtyard. She returned to her room inside the in. Serket was no longer in there. Hathor closed the door behind her and started crying.
Succubus
(Christian Demon, inspire by multiple Pagan Goddess
combined, including Ishtar. Base on the Christian concept of
all other gods are demons pretend to be gods)
Horus, escaped back to the inn. Serket and Hathor was not expecting to see Horus' return. The original plan was that once Horus and Neith has got their hand on the herb, they are to go directly to Bes and Taweret, in case of the city shut down.
Neith whom got both woven baskets of herbs, went to the village of the plague, as planned. Horus, returned to the inn.
"Horus" Hathor and Serket both yelled out in the same time.
"Stay away from me." Horus said, he know too well, about the effect of the succubus powder and doesn't want to do something, he would regrade.
Horus was sweating furiously. He quickly rushed back into his room and locked the door. Horus started looking for water and started drinking. After that Horus started trying to meditate, to stay clam, but the strong sexual urges, is still difficult to control, especially in his state of mind.
Hathor was worried, she wanted to go check on Horus and went to knock of Horus' door, but Serket quickly grabbed onto Hathor's arm and shook her head. Serket's specialization might be in healing injury and dealing with scorpion poison, but she can tell that Horus is effected by the succubus powder and is trying to prevent himself from doing something that he would regrade.
"Go back to your room and lock your door." Serket said
Confused, Hathor did as she was told.
Serket return to her room. Despite Serket and Horus never establish an official relationship as lovers, they been in a lover like relationship, for the last six months, so Serket has decided that if it really comes down to it, she be willing to give herself to Horus that night, especially considering, she doesn't want to see Horus doing something he will regrade, due to the effect of the succubus powder, despite she know Horus is a very discipline person.
Horus continue to meditate within his room, he continue to find his body burning up with heat. Horus lied his back against the wall, to try cool down, he fall asleep, with that sense of sexual urge still difficult to control, he must have masturbated at least five times, to release the sexual urges, but, very quickly, after the release, the desire to have sex started building up again.
Horus again woke up and then fall asleep again, multiple times. Finally, in his half asleep state, where his mind can no longer think clearly, Horus tumbled and walked towards Hathor's room.
Serket whom was waiting in her room, was surprise that Horus would chose Hathor's room, considering there is nothing romantic about their relationship. Fearing that Horus would ended up doing something that he would regard the next day, Serket was quick to come out of her room.
"Horus" Serket said
Horus took a look at her, in his disarrayed state, Horus thought it was Hathor. Resisting the temptation obviously took a toll on Horus, he fall to the floor lean against the outside of Hathor's door.
Serket quickly ran to Horus' side. "Hathor." Horus said weakly and fainted again.
Serket was quick to help Horus, back to his room and help him onto his bed. Horus was still sweating, Serket brought Horus more water and let him drink it. Serket looked at Horus, his mind is still in a state of disarray and struggling to control his sexual urges. Serket took off her cloth and climb into Horus' bed, but Horus thought that she was Hathor.
Serket felt a bit heartbroken, she like Horus, a lot.
"Its me, Serket." she said softly, deciding to give Horus one more chance.
"Serket" Horus said weakly
Serket softly kissed Horus on the lips, before climbing onto his body and had sex two times, but after the second time, Horus mistaken Serket to be Hathor again. Serket didn't let the third time finish, she got off the bed, half way through. She was expecting for Horus in his state to try rape her, but, Horus' discipline is demonstrated, Horus didn't try to grab her or rape her, he just lie there growling, softly and weakly like a half asleep mad man. For most women, sex is an emotional thing, so, it must sting to find out, the guy you are having sex with, actually want somebody else and mistaken you to be somebody else, especially after giving your heart.
Human brain got a logical and an emotional side, been logical and rational, doesn't mean he or she got no emotions, it just mean their ability in emotional management, is much higher. Like all warriors, Horus are trained to be emotional detached, so to help him, remain calm in the high stress and high danger nature of combat environment and not let his emotions cloud his judgement, to make bad decisions.
As a result, with very rational people, like Horus, it is only during time like this, where the logical side of their brain, is numbed, can we truly see their true emotional desire.
The fact that Horus would chose Hathor's room over Serket, when the rational side of his brain shut down, proves that he desire Hathor more.
"I will get you some water." Serket said, she put her cloth back on, for a second Horus almost raise his hand to grab Serket, but his self control managed to force himself to lower his hand again.
Serket close the door, as she exit the room, she place the table, in front of the door, to prevent Horus doing something he regrade. Serket placed the wig onto the table, before leaving.
Horus still in his disarray state, turn and growl on the bed and fall to the ground. Horus saw Hathor's wig. "Hathor" Horus said weakly, but, suddenly, he realize the wig got no body. "Hathor?" Horus said, he quickly got to his feet, not able to properly walk, he climb over the table and open the door and went to knock on Hathor's door.
Hathor opened her door and saw Horus there "What is wrong?" Hathor frowned and said
"Alright, you are safe." Horus said, weakly
"Of course I am safe, what are you worry about?" Hathor asked
"Nothing." Horus said, he still exercise enough self restrain and didn't try to rape anybody.
"Let me try something." Horus said
"What is it?" Hathor said
Horus moved forward and tried to kiss Hathor on the lips, but Hathor didn't move away and kissed back. After that, Horus went full on animal like, he close the door behind him, grabbed Hathor and started grabbing and kissing her furiously. But then Horus stopped and jumped backwards "I am sorry." Horus said and fall to the ground
"Its alright." Hathor said and walked next to Horus and kneel down.
Horus took a look at Hathor, he found his hand, running along one of Hathor's beautiful long legs. But, Hathor didn't protest, so Horus moved to kiss her again and Hathor kissed back, they were quick to disrobe and Horus threw Hathor onto the bed and took her virginity.
Outside, Serket return with the water, she heard the sound coming out of Hathor's room. Worrying that Horus ended up doing something he regrade Serket was quick to put down the water and the fire torch in her hand, she peak into the room, it look consensual, so, Serket close the door behind her and left the room.
Anubis and Horus might both be able to quickly cover their face, but still inhale some succubus powder.
A few minutes later, the powder started taking affect, Anubis fall to his feet, not able to think clearly. The soldiers saw Anubis
"My Lord!" the soldiers were quick to yell. They rushed to Anubis' side and help him to his feet.
"Get the witch doctor!" a soldier quickly said
"No, wait, its OK." Anubis said, Anubis knows about the succubus powder and good night of sleep and the powder will be out of his system, but calling the doctors and reveal that the powder is that of the Amazons, Anubis is not sure what sort of further problem it might cause. "Just get me some water" Anubis said
"Yes, My Lord" the soldier said.
The soldiers did as they were told and fetched Anubis water. A little while later, Ammit arrived.
"Bring an army carriage." Ammit said
"My Lord, army carriages are for military logistic use only, they are limited in numbers." the soldier said
"I understand, find a carriage that can be spare, if there are any trouble. I will take responsibility for it." Ammit said
"Yes, my Lord" the soldier said
A little while later, the carriage came. Ammit helped Anubis onto the carriage. Ammit drove the carriage back to Anubis' palace. Outside the palace, there was soldiers on guards and next to them, is Anubis' wife, Eve.
Eve stood outside the palace gate, waiting for her husband's return. She is nineteen years old, three years younger then Anubis.
Ammit came to the palace with Anubis on it.
"My Lady" Ammit was quick to get off the carriage
"What happened." Eve was quick to say
"I am fine, its just some powder, I will be fine, tomorrow." Anubis said
"Quick, help our Lord inside." Eve was quick to say
"Yes, my Lady." the handmaids inside the palace said and started helping Anubis inside
Eve helped, Anubis into their room.
"My Lord." Eve said with a worry look in her eyes.
"Water, I need water." Anubis said weakly
"Quick, go grab water." Eve quickly said
"Yes, my Lady" the handmaid quickly said and went to fetched the water.
The handmaid return with the water and Eve quickly fed it to him.
"My Lord." Eve looked at her husband with worry "Fetch the witch doctor now." Eve turned to the handmaid.
"No" Anubis quickly said
"But..." Eve tried to speak but Anubis stopped her, he turned to the handmaids and other people in the room "Leave us"
"Yes, my Lord" The other people left the room.
"Eve, listen to me, this powder, is the succubus. I just need to sleep it off and I will be fine tomorrow, but if the news got out that the succubus powder is been used, my father, would not take it lightly. My father fear the Succubus for a reason, they are the assassins of the Amazonians and he wiped them out. If he learned of this, he would send his entire army, to genocide this city and by then, even I can do, nothing to stop it. Someday, I will become pharaoh and when that day come things would be different, but for now, news like this, should not go beyond the two of us." Anubis said
"Alright" Eve said
"Water" Anubis said
Eve quickly, brought Anubis more water, for him to cool down.
Anubis drank the water quickly. He was really hot, his body felt like it is on heat. His sex drive was high, to the extend he find it hard to control and his mind was struggling to think clearly. Anubis touched his wife, on the chick of her face.
"Eve" Anubis said weakly
"Yes, my Lord" Eve said
Anubis gave into the lustful fire within his heart, he quickly grabbed his wife towards him and kissed her on the lips, impatiently, he torn off her cloth and enjoyed holding her beautiful brown skin. Anubis threw Eve, onto the bed. He spread her legs apart and penetrated his wife, again and again and again.
***
Before she became Anubis' wife, Eve was originally a young girl, living inside the city of Cynopolis, just like many people, she was originally heavily effected by Seth's, unreasonably high tax rate. They met during the era, where Michael was letting loose his insane genocide upon the city of Cynopolis. Anubis, Ammit and Ma'at rode back to the city of Cynopolis to end the genocide. The ordinary soldiers were quick to seize all killing activity right after receiving the order to end the genocide. The Templar also ended their killing. But the high Templar are thugs. As Anubis and Ammit rode down the streets of Cynopolis to oversight the end of the genocide. They saw soldiers from the High Templar company still killing. Anubis and Ammit didn't gave it a second thought before they engaged to stop the ten High Templar. that was burning down a neighborhood and was about to kill a 15 years old girl. The High Templar was no match against Anubis and Ammit, in the fight and was quickly defeated
"Haven't you receive the orders, the killing is over!" Anubis said
The soldiers didn't recognize Anubis
"Who do you think you are, how dare you interfere with the High Templar" the corporal said
Anubis body guards was quick to come forward and form battle formation.
"Do you recognize me now?" Anubis said with anger.
The soldiers only now, recognize it is Anubis.
"I...I am sorry, my Lord" the Corporal said
"The genocide is over. LEAVE!" Anubis said with anger
"Yes...yes, my Lord." the Corporal said and order for the soldiers to leave.
Seen the soldier left, Anubis turn to the young girl, this young girl is Eve.
"Are you alright?" Anubis asked
"Don't touch me." the girl replied with anger. "You and your kind are all alike. You disgust me."
"You..." Ammit said with a big frown on his face
"Ammit, its alright." Anubis said
Eve lost her entire family in the genocide and she had every reason, to hate all of those, whom are member of Seth's government and military. But, as Anubis govern the city of Cynopolis, he eventually won the respect and love of the people of the city.
But, Ma'at understand that to fully win the support of the city of Cynopolis, the people need to see him, as one of them and advice Anubis to marry a woman from Cynopolis. Anubis took the advice and send out the news of the plan to find a woman from this city to take as his wife.
It is during this time that Anubis met seventeen years old Eve, whom is now an apple farmer, she work on, one of the first apple farms in the world. Since the era of Osiris, people started experimenting the planting of other food, it ended when Seth took power, as the people were too busy staying alive, due to Seth's insane tax rate, but since the rule of Anubis in Cynopolis, people got time, to find other food to grow.
Part of Eve's job is to go sell the apples in the market place. Apples was a rare fruit to be sold in the market, frequently been referred to as the golden fruit, as it was rare, still been gathered via hunter gatherer. So, as one of the first apple farm, the farm were able to make lots of money.
Seventeen years old Adam, is the commander of the one army Division that is charged with the logistic supply, sending goods from the city of Cynopolis to the front line along the Southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea prepare for war with Baal. Adam is far too under qualify for this position, with no experience what so ever. But Adam is Seth's second son. The big difference between Anubis and Adam, when Anubis also got his first command as Division commander, at the age of sixteen and was far too inexperienced, he was humble to listen to the advice of his Senior Officers. Adam is not humble like Anubis, he is arrogant and proud. Fortune this is an easy mission of travelling between city states to gather goods to be send to the front line, not needing to go through enemy turf. The Division soldiers are either equipped with a woven basket and a hammer for self defense, or a shield and a spear, to protect the soldiers carrying the woven basket. With each Company there are two carriages, each pulled by two horses, the carriage is commanded and protected by one platoon of soldiers, each platoon with woven basket is protected by one platoon with spear and shield. Their mission here is to gather medical herbs that is to be used for the soldiers on the front line. The ones that was wearing the woven baskets, are female. The rest, are men.
By the order of Anubis, Adam and his troops weren't allow to enter the city and had to make camp, outside the city of Cynopolis. The soldiers of Adam made camp, outside the city of Cynopolis. Anubis ride out with one Company of soldiers to greet them.
Anubis ride his horse to the front of his army, to greet Adam whom is also in the front of his army
"Brother." Anubis said
"Brother" Adam replied "What is the meaning of this, why aren't my soldiers allow to enter?"
"Cynopolis got its own rule, without the permission of our father, no army other then the guards of the city can enter the city in arm. Sure, you are not asking your men to disarm. My men would be carrying the medical herbs out here, for your people to gather." Anubis said
"Alright" Adam replied
The soldiers started transmitting the medical herbs from inside the city, to outside, for Adam's men.
***
Horus and Neith, decided to steal from the herb transportation, where it is most vulnerable. It was late at night, Horus and Neith dressed in black clothing, they managed to evade the soldiers' watch and sneak into the camp.
"These soldiers are just doing their job, don't kill them." Horus whispered to Neith
"Alright" Neith whispered in response.
"Who is it!" Two soldier heard something.
"Sorry my Lord, I am a little bit lost." Neith said sounding a bit like flirting.
"This is a military operation, you are not allow to be here. Placing you under arrest." one soldier said
As the two soldiers moved forward, Neith was quickly to respond, naturally the two soldiers were no match against Neith. Worrying that Neith might hurt them, Horus was quick to help, and threw powder to the face of both. The two soldiers soon fall under a deep sleep.
"Succubus?" Neith said pointing to the powder Horus used
"No" Horus said
"Look like the powder use by the Succubus." Neith said
"I change the formula to make it a sleeping powder, are we going to get some job done or stand here and argue." Horus said
***
Horus and Neith sneaked passed many guards and went to be in front of a tent, with four guards. Neith and Horus attacked two guards from behind and blow powder to their face. The two guards fall asleep. Two other guards attacked them, Neith and Horus also took down the two guards in three moves, blow powder to their face and put them to sleep. Horus and Neith entered the tent
The tent was full of woven baskets that are full of medical herbs.
Horus took a piece of cloth out of his pocket. Upon the cloth were drawing of the herb that is needed
"This is the cloth that Serket drawn for us, it contain the herb that is needed to cure the plague. Let's split up and look for it." Horus said
"Alright" Neith said
Neith and Horus started looking through the many woven baskets and start finding the herb that match the drawing.
When they found it, they quickly started to fill their own woven baskets with the herbs.
"Let's go" Horus said, when they had enough herbs
But when they exit, the soldiers that come for guard change, arrived and saw the four soldiers that was asleep
"Intruder! Sound the alarm!" One soldier yelled.
One soldier rushed to sound the alarm, the other three soldiers rush into the tent, just as Horus and Neith was exiting. Horus and Neith was quick to knock out all three soldiers, but the alarm was been sound.
Soldiers was running towards their direction. Seen the situation, Horus was quick to throw his woven basket towards Neith.
"Take the herbs and get out of here. I will cut them off." Horus said.
Neith hesitated for a second
"Go" Horus said
Neith quickly climb onto the trees and using the Amazonian skill she is familiar with swing from one tree to the next, using rope and escaped.
Horus quickly grabbed a long staff and knocked out the few soldiers that was coming his way. These soldiers are logistic, not combatant, much easier to handle and if Horus is able to take on Special Forces and come out on top, logistic should be easy enough for him. But, even so, they got the advantage in number. Horus was able to use his staff and quickly knock down any soldiers that come his way in only one move. The soldier would be able to capture Horus, if they group together first and attack together. But they weren't expecting a fighter of Horus' standard.
"Dame YOU!" Adam screamed, charging forward with his bronze swords.
But Adam's fighting skill isn't even half of Horus. Despite also been trained as a warrior since childhood, Adam's skill is what you expect from a student that come last in class.
Adam try to attack Horus repeatedly with his swords. Horus was quick to dogged to the side and smacked Adam on the back with his staff and another kick that make Adam fall to the ground. After Adam fell, Horus thought Neith must have gone far enough and also escaped.
"After him!" Adam yelled, but the soldiers struggle to find Horus.
As Horus escaped, him came across the one person that is able to catch up to him. Anubis.
"You are under arrest thief." Anubis said
"Thief? That is what you men of Seth, consider this to be?" Horus said
"The city of Cynopolis is prosper, I made sure of that, who are you." Anubis said
"None of your business." Horus replied
"In that case, I need to arrest you." Anubis said
Anubis attacked Horus. Horus and Anubis started fighting each other. The two men exchanged over sixteen moves, but neither one can get the upper hand, in hand to hand combat. Anubis isn't a genius like Horus, he attended a different warrior school from Horus and completed level six and level five training each in five years. He started his training at seven years old and completed level five training at sixteen, he started his level four training at seventeen and completed it at the age of twenty one. For his level four training, Anubis major in military strategy and hand to hand combat and minor in witchcraft.
The basic combat style of Anubis' warrior school, from level five and level six training, is a combination of kicking, punching, knee, elbow, dogging and blocking, similar to modern kick boxing.
Within his level four training, Anubis learned three types of hand to hand combat styles. including a kick base martial art and a punching base martial art, building upon what he already learn, in his level five and level six training. He also learn a fighting style focus on throwing and grappling, combining his training in the three types of martial art, he got the martial art training of thirty eight years.
Amazonian hand to hand combat martial art, for level six and level five they learn a fighting style that combine throwing and grappling. In level five training, they need to chose another one of the two fighting styles, either the one that focus on throwing or the one that focus on grappling, building upon what they already learn on their level six training.
Horus as a person that can progress at a speed twice to everybody else, with thirteen years experience in Amazonian basic fighting style is as good as having thirty six years of training in Amazonian hand to hand combat. In addition due to his training with Khnum in punching base martial art and his pre-existing training in martial arts and his ability to progress at a speed twice to everybody else and Khnum is a great teacher, he is as good as having three years training in this punching base martial art, this make Horus' training in hand to hand martial art to be of thirty nine years.
In addition, both Horus and Anubis within their school of training, they also need to learn a mild fighting style that is gentle and less aggressive, in comparison to the other combat techniques that are more fierce and aggressive. The gentle and mild fighting style is significantly less effective compare to the other more aggressive fighting style that is learned, to use this sort of fighting style against other fighting style in face to face combat, is suicide. The reason for learning this fighting style is due to it is very limited in physical demand, in comparing to the other more effective fighting style, in fact almost no physical demand, what so ever, it is ideal for those who are fragile due to old age or are wounded, surprisingly this sort of fighting style was first inspired when Osiris became pharaoh, so those who are weak and fragile are able to protect them self, as long they are not using it in a face to face fight, against warriors that are trained in the other fighting styles more fierce and aggressive, they will be fine. In addition, due to its users are usually fragile due to old age or are otherwise injured, these fighting style are also design for taking down your enemy before they can respond or even know what is going on, very ideal to be used in surprise attack. These fighting styles are similar to modern martial art form such as Tai Chi or Chi Gong.
Thus, Horus and Anubis are very much evenly matched.
"Your fighting style include both Heliopolis and Amazonian foundation, who are you?" Anubis said
"You know about fighting." Horus said
"I am a crown prince, it is only nature, I am trained as a fighter." Anubis said
The two men once again engaged in combat another eighteen moves, once again, neither side could get the upper hand.
But at this stage, Horus heard the sound of other soldiers nearby.
"I suggest you surrender, the soldier are here." Anubis said
Horus was quick to reach for his pocket to grab more sleeping powder, but realized all the sleeping powders are gone. In his other pocket there are still some succubus powder, not yet been mix in with his new formula to be changed into sleeping powder. The succubus powder can put you in a state of disarray and give men extreme strong sexual urges. Horus was quick to throw some powder towards Anubis. Anubis was quick to cover his face and wave the powder back towards Horus, whom was also quick to cover his face. Horus was quick to jumped backwards and escape into the darkness.
However, Tai Chi Masters generally admit Tai Chi can only be used for health and basic self defense purpose, Tai Chi is a more passive and gentle fighting style, not design to be used against the more fierce and aggressive fighting style, such as MMA, as they got way more fire power. While there are some Tai Chi practitioner claim Tai Chi is a most dealy martial art form, most martial art masters, including Tai Chi master say that is complete BS.
However, this doesn't mean Tai Chi is useless in a fight, just much less effective compare to the more aggressive martial art form, thus it is only good enough to be use for basic self defense. But, the passive and gentle nature of Tai Chi mean it can practice by those who are much more fragile for self defense purpose, such as old ladies and those who have pre-existing medical condition (although most Tai Chi association still make it clear that check with your doctors to see whether you are fit enough to practice Tai Chi, especially for combat) that prevent them from practicing the more fierce and aggressive form of martial arts. In this video, a Tai Chi master demonstrate how to use Tai Chi to protect yourself against boxers. However, the Tai Chi master also make it clear, using Tai Chi to protect yourself against boxer is really hard, because boxer punch hard and fast, you must have cat like reflex and very fast with your arms, with intense practice. However, most martial artist point out, most Tai Chi practitioners are doing it for health not combat, so they are ill trained to use it for combat purpose. And the Tai Chi master in this video, also point out, if you really want to use Tai Chi in self defense, you need to train with other boxers, to improve your technique. Although, chances are, most police officer that practice Tai Chi are able to use it effectively in combat, as they are professional warriors and security officers, it is unlikely they would practice this martial art form, if they can't effectively use it to defeat most criminals.
Chinese martial artists 韓飛龍 is current the only professional athletic/martial artists that is able to use Tai Chi to hold his ground in competition, against other athletic/martial artists.韓飛龍 self develop a fierce and aggressive version of Tai Chi with same level of fire power to other fierce and aggressive martial art style, but demand the same high level of fitness, as other fierce and aggressive martial art style. However, 韓飛龍's new version of Tai Chi is frequently controversial in the martial art community, regarding whether it can qualify as Tai Chi as it is heavily influence by Chinese boxing and karate.
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?
Anubis send
in his envoy to create a discussion liaison with the rioting mob inside the
city.
It is a
delicate situation, testing Anubis diplomatic skills to the top. Anubis’ envoy
had a simple message “to open a dialogue of discussion between the two
leadership, in neutral ground.” At first the leadership within the city of
Cynopolis weren’t interest in talking and just want to keep fighting. The
people within the city of Cynopolis was so angry at Seth, the leadership got
courage and say they rather die on their feet, then live on their knees.
Anubis was
touched. As the son of Seth, it is only nature that they would see him as their
enemy. If the news got into the ears of Seth, it sure make him more angry, for
the people of Cynopolis refusing to submit to his will, just like sometime in
the zoo, if the alpha gorilla is a jerk, he start acting in a intimidating
manner to the other gorillas and when the zoo keeper gave the other gorilla a
fruit, the jerk start banning on his cage intimidating the other chimps with
the message “you eat that, you are dead.” But it is possible Anubis can use
that to his advantage, convincing Seth that, people with such warrior spirit,
if we can recruit them under us, it would make a world of difference.
Anubis once
again send a letter to the city of Cynopolis, it is a letter that first talk
about Anubis’ admiring of the courage demonstrate by the people of the city and
is willing to listen to what the people of the city want.
Within the
southern gate of the city, Michael had enough and ordered an attack upon the
city. A lot of soldiers died, even more civilians died. Anubis was furious and
ordered for the soldiers to retreat and if the officers refuse the order, they
are relief of their command right away and to be place under arrest. The
soldiers retreated.
A month
past, the siege within the city of Cynopolis didn’t change. The people in the
city with their rage to a boiling point attacked the soldiers.
Anubis’ initial reaction is to tell the soldiers to avoid it, but he know
that would anger the soldiers, originally they might only be in the army to
avoid paying the high tax rate, to support their family. But, been attack like
that again and again, everybody got survival instinct and it might be enough
for them to strike back. As a result, Anubis said the soldiers they can do as they
deem fit, to defend themselves, but not to enter the city. The decision lies
within the soldiers. As a result, the soldiers choice to use long stick to be
used as staff, to defend themselves against the rioters, but, would not kill
them.
Michael was
furious and send his own people back to Seth, asking for Anubis to be removed from command. Michael
made a case saying, by the way Anubis is doing thing, what is there to stop
the soldiers to again deflect to the enemy and turn against them, after that beginning,
what is there to stop further surrenders?
The truth
is that Seth is always aware of that problem. As a
result, with each Army Division, there are four ordinary regiments and one Templar regiment, attached to it. The one Templar regiment, include three Templar company and
one high Templar company attached to it.
It is the same case here. But knowing Anubis, Michael know that Anubis would not order
for the Templar and High Templar to act, leaving ordinary regiments to do as
they please.
Anubis
understand that he would need to do something and finally agree to the order of
sealing off the city of Cynopolis in siege warfare, but he gave the order saying that any
man, woman or children that wants to surrender and want to leave the city won’t
be harmed. At this stage, this is the best that Anubis can do. So, when Anubis’
people inform him of the letter that Michael send to Seth. Anubis was quick to
also send a letter to Seth. It explains of the siege warfare and how a direct
assault upon the city, would lead to much casualty rate and that the soldiers
are valuable resource that shouldn’t be waste away and the people within the
city, with their bravery they can be valuable resource if been tame to serve as
Seth’s soldiers.
But Seth
understand his son. Seth agrees that Anubis got a point, but he know Anubis got
a soft spot for the people. Seth chose to send one more army Division under the
command of Uriel for reinforcement, Anubis was relief of command and remain
only to supervise the military operation and Michael was put back in command.
However, Seth agreed with Anubis about the siege warfare and order to starve
the city into submission. Michael had the city completely surrounded and find
anyway to harass the people inside.
Within the
city of Cynopolis things was getting bad with lack of food and supplies.
Michael also poison their drinking water by putting plague into the river
stream that float into the city.
Three more months past, the city of Cyonopolis was running low on food and water. People were starving to death, but they still refuse to surrender. However, Michael know if he attack the city now, it would be easy. Michael want one thing, to genocide the city. Finally, Michael got the green light from Seth. Michael ordered the troops to charged into the city.
Michael know Seth and within the letter he wrote about how the people of Cynopolis committed blasphemy against Seth, by sheltering the gays and define his will, to save their own life.
Seth was furious after reading it, just as Michael expected. Seth face went all red kicking over a table and scream "DAME YOU!!!!!!!!!!! REVENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REVENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REVENGE!!!!!!!!!!!" And started jumping up and down like an angry gorilla.
He order Michael not only to genocide the city, but round up as many men, women and children as they can, take the children and cook them and force the parents to eat their own child against their will. Then cut the adults open, while they are still alive and slowly remove their organs, one by one.
Michael was delighted to hear of the order, his dream of genocide the city of Cynopolis finally came true.
Under Michael's orders the soldiers attacked the city and within hours, the city gate was broken down, Michael gave the order for the soldiers to kill with extreme prejudice. The people of the city fought with all their might, but was still been overrun by the soldiers. If the ordinary regiments aren't brutal enough, the Templar and High Templar are for certain brutal.
Knowing he is meaningless here in the Supervising role. Anubis, Ma'at and Ammit ride back to the palace Yahweh, to talk to Seth himself
"What! How Dare You! They...they define me....they define my will...I am SETH! Their Lord! Their God ALMIGHTY! Who are they to define my will? WHO ARE THEY!" Seth said
Considering the state that Seth was in, it is only somebody like Anubis that dare to speak.
"Father, I do not dare to denier they conducted a great evil, which is to define your will. But, image what you can do, if we can turn them towards your marvelous light. They are using their bravery for that evil way of disobeying your will, but we turn them to good, that bravery will be turned, to be used to serve the way of justice, to serve your will, maybe, even to kill the gays." Anubis said, Anubis doesn't believe anything Seth stands for is good, including gay killing, but, he need to say what please Seth, to get him to change his mind.
Seth thought for a while, along in his room, finally Seth made his decision. "Michel should not genocide the city of Cynopolis, but do whatever, he deem fit to suppress them, but excluding genocide. Anubis should supervise, to ensure that genocide isn't taking place. Amount those that survive, anybody that repent for their sin, should be allowed to live, the rest should die." Seth finally said
"Thank you father, but may I say one more thing." Anubis said
"What is it." Seth replied
"Give them a chance to turn to the way of good, let me council them and I promise in time, they will turn away from their evil ways. God is love, god is merciful." Anubis said
Seth sighed "Fine" Seth finally said
Anubis know the reasons for the riot of Cynopolis. The killing of their fellow men within the city of Cynopolis for been gay is a last straw, apart from that there is the issue of high tax rate and extreme corruption and that sometime the governments tolerate street gangs, even use them to do their bidding. Anubis asked for Seth to make him as the Prefect of Cynopolis and to allow the action of killing gays to be left up to the people of the city
"Once they turn to the way of your good and marvelous light, I am sure they will do what is good, which is to act according to your will and kill the gays." Anubis said
***
So, Anubis returned to the city of Cynopolis with this new order, from Seth. Michael was furious, after hearing it. The genocide he long dreamed of, is over, not long after it just began. Michael love to genocide, he loves to stand and watch his work unfold, as the soldiers kill, stab and rape, when the soldiers conducted their genocides, Michael love standing upon an alter, and watch his master piece unfold, he would love to open his two army and enjoy the glory he feel, able to squash the life of so many people, as if they are just ants, it make him feels mighty and superior. Now, because of Anubis, the genocide must end. Michael is furious and upset. he felt like he been bullied by Anubis and hopes the day to seek his revenge.
But for now, Michael got not choice but to give the order to end his beloved genocide. But, Michael still gets to kill lots of people. Seth order says not to conduct genocide, but said nothing about killing people, for example, if he is just killing one person, can Anubis call it genocide? There is a lot of loopholes and it allows Michael to kill as many people as he wants, providing if Anubis, Ma'at and Ammit cannot find an excuse to call it genocide.
Three weeks later, a further order from Seth, has arrived. Anubis is to be made the new Prefect of Cynopolis and Anubis' request was approved and replaced Michael as the commander of the two Divisions of soldiers. The first thing Anubis did was to issue the order, to assign Ammit to become his second in command to the two Divisions of soldiers, under the orders of Anubis, the soldiers gone from been a genocide force, to a policing force, killing is not allow, unless absolute necessary for the soldiers to defend them self from the rioters. the spear that was used to kill the rioters, was been was been replaced by wooden staff to be used in beating rioters. Anubis continue to repeat the message, the killing of gays, would no longer be conducted by the government, but be conducted only by the people of the city, as they deem fit. Anubis know that after this riot, even those who support the gay killing policy, won't dare to do so, thus, such promise to the people of this city, should be good enough. As for the high tax rate, Anubis proposed a new idea, that should be able to be accepted, by both Seth and the people of this city. Anubis proposed service to Seth, in exchange to decrease tax rate by half. This proposal was originally not been accepted by Seth whom scream in anger
"WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE!!!!!!!! HOW DARE THEY THINK SERVICE CAN MEAN REDUCE TAX!!!!!!!! I AM THEIR LORD!!!!!!! THEIR ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD!!!!!!!!!! I AM THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEIR DUTY IS TO SERVE ME!!!!!!!!!!! THEY GOT THE TIME TO PROVIDE ME WITH MORE SERVICE THEN THEY SHOULD SERVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY GOT THE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN, THEY GOT THE TIME TO PAY MORE TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seth screamed in anger, jumping up and down like a big gorilla.
In response Anubis said "If they are starving and dying, how could they better serve you, father?" Anubis said
It finally persuaded Seth, to allow Anubis' plan to be used. In exchange to decrease tax rate to 45%, the peasants must spend the first of every seven days to worship Seth and provide service to Seth, through various forms and pray to him three times per day.
“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 would need to say
Abubis came to the city of Cynopolis with two
regiments of troops and met up with Michael over here.
Michael isn’t happy to see him “Just a
reminder, you might be the son of Seth, but I am still the General of the army.”
Michael said
“And may I remind you. You might be the General of the army, but
I am also the crown prince and to that extend I outrank you.” Anubis said
“Are you here, as a Colonel or the Crown Prince of the world?” Michael said
“The crown prince of the world.” Anubis
said
Travelling with Anubis is Ma’at and his
most loyal servant Ammit.
Michael isn’t happy and he isn’t afraid to
show it, but he still acts according to formality
“My Lord.” Michael got off his horse and said
and with that gave the command staff to Anubis.
During this time, within the city of
Cynopolis tension has reached height. The soldiers that was originally send to
kill the gays, has now joined the people of the city, to riot against the rule
of Seth.
Each regiment got one thousand soldiers, Anubis and Michael together got four regiments under their command and that is four thousand soldiers. In addition there are the Cynopolis city guards that regrouped outside the city, due to not been prepared for this attack that is four thousand and five hundred soldiers.
The mob within the city of Cynopolis is no
match against such fighting force.
The people within the city made two
attempts to attack the army, before Anubis came, both time, Michael’s men
repealed them. Michael is planning to send in the troops to massacre the city.
But Anubis is currently disallowing it, Anubis know it would be a blood bath,
ultimately, the soldiers would win and burn the city to the ground, killing
every man, women and children, the beautiful women would be raped, before been killed. But it would be at high cost, to the soldiers
also. This blood bath, is something that Anubis won’t want to see, regardless
of the genocide of the city or the mass lost of soldiers that are just
following orders and most of those whom are of lower rank, only join the army,
to escaping having to pay the insane high tax rate of Seth.
Michael cannot be bother to care less, all
he wants to see is to end this riot, as soon as possible, he cannot be bother
to care less, about what is happening to the soldiers or the people within the
city.
“May I remind you, that your loyalty should
be to your father, not the peasants.” Michael said
That make Anubis furious, human are pack
animals and a pack that settle upon a land, is a tribe, the position of the
pharaoh is the Chieftain of the tribe. But, just like Seth, Michael believe in
the way of the thugs,
“And would you like to explain to my
father, why you waste away over half of his entire army Division, over nothing?”
Anubis said
“Who cares about what happened to the
soldiers, they are just tools, expendable resource.” Michael said
“Do you think I care about the life of
those soldiers, I care about you wasting away my father’s resource as if it is
nothing, my father’s valuable resource that he use to show those peasants who
is their one and only true god and Lord almighty and to punish them, when they
refuse to serve his will. What will my father use, when men like you, waste
away his entire army like it is nothing? Or has that always been your
intention, to waste away my father’s soldiers like they are nothing, until
there are not enough left, for him to hold his dominance over the peasants
anymore?” Anubis said
“That is an outrage” Michael said angrily
“In that case, prove it.” Anbuis said
Michael doesn’t dare to speak more.
Ma’at took a look at Michael, she knows
that, if Anubis is ever to become Pharaoh, people like Michael, must die,
otherwise, the second Seth died, it won’t be hard for people like Michael alike
to hold control of the military and kill Anubis.
Anubis decided, to try open the dialogue of
communication with the people within the city. Inside the city, the people has
formed their own leadership and fortify the city, ready for a siege warfare. Anubis
order Ammit, to arrange the army to hold up defense position and prepared to
try open a dialogue of communication with the city’s new leadership.
But Anubis doesn’t know how to make a
negotiation with the people within the city, to get them to lay down their arms
Not sure what to do, Anubis asked Ma’at.
“It is a tricky situation.” Ma’at said “I need
to be honest with you Anubis. If they are really going to fight, they can
really take you on for months. Now they fortify their defense, your army trying
to take the city by force, it will be a bloodbath.
But we both know you don’t want that, Anubis.” Ma’at said
“That is what I am asking you for your
help.” Anubis said
“Listen more, talk less. Figure out what
the people of the city want and understand what would it take for them to agree
to surrender the city. Afterwards, determine what you can give. Remember
Anubis, Seth made you the Prefect of Cynopolis. This is your responsibility and
if you are going to be a good Pharaoh, you are going to deal with situation like
this, in the future also.” Ma’at said
