Chapter 28: The March of the Decisive Battle in the Desert
The Egyptian royal family, among the royal palaces.
The Pharaoh, who had just woken up from a great dream, sat on his throne and looked in horror at the priests and ministers who were still standing in front of him, still arguing about the defection of Aknadi, and they were completely unaware of the approaching evil forces in the desert.
Of course, the reconnaissance and intelligence transmission technology in this era was very backward, and the army of Tapir Liang was marching in the dark to the royal capital, so it was normal for no intelligence to come.
The game looked back a little uncomfortably, and Simon, who looked exactly like Muto Shuangroku three thousand years later, was still standing behind him with a calm face, and found that when he looked back, Simon still showed a kind smile to the nameless pharaoh.
He didn't feel like a minister or a veteran of the Three Dynasties, to the point of being an ordinary kind old man, and as for the various matters that the priests and ministers below were arguing about, they might not seem so serious to Simon.
The moment he saw Simon, the game's heart suddenly tugged at him - his memory seemed to return to before, in that memory, this kind old man risked his life for himself and his country: he knew that if he summoned the "Sealed Eczodia" without the "Millennium Key", it would be a dead end, but Simon still chose to sacrifice without hesitation.
And Simon's sacrifice did pay for victory - the elven beast Dil Bondor was burned to the ground, and the Legion of the Underworld and the six hundred and sixty-six demons loyal to the tapir were all destroyed, and at that time, the game could indeed be said to be the closest to victory, as long as he stepped forward and cut off the head of the desperate thief king.
However, looking at Simon, who was smiling and dissipating in the light, the game knew that this kind of victory was not what he wanted to see.
And at that time, time began to turn back, and after waking up, the game returned to the palace again, and Simon and the others were still there, everything was ...... It seems that they can all be saved!
[Seahorse ......] didn't have time to pay attention to the priests and noble ministers who were still arguing, and the game already had its own plans in mind, [Now the only one who can rely on is the seahorse!]
"That's why I say that at this time, we should temporarily hand over the command of the two garrisons stationed near the royal city that previously belonged to the priest of Seth. A nobleman argued loudly in the audience: "Now that there is no Certh, the garrison will be in chaos if it is in chaos." ”
"Joke, no one has the right to receive garrisons at will. Mahad coldly rejected his unreasonable request, "Priest Seth has only been gone for two days, and you can't sit still?"
"My loyalty will always belong to Pharaoh alone. The nobleman saluted the game, then turned to Mahad and said, "The garrison is responsible for the safety of the Pharaoh, and its importance is self-evident, what if they lose their command and if the king is invaded by a large number of people? ”
"But you can't ...... either"
"Alright. Mahad was still trying to argue with his case, but a voice interrupted him, and as soon as the voice sounded, both Mahad and the priests, ministers, and nobles who had participated in the argument stopped coming.
The game looked at the palace that was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly, he was still a little unaccustomed to the dignity and inferiority system of this era after living in the real world for several years, but now this dignity and humility undoubtedly helped him a lot.
"Isis, can you use the power of your 'Millennium Jewel' to see the future?" said the game gently but majestically to Isis on the side, "I sense that an evil force is advancing towards the palace. ”
Although the game knows that this is the march of the tapir, but after all, he is the new king who has just been crowned, and I am afraid that the execution will not be too strong if he is directly in the army, and at this time, with the help of the power of Isis, his words will be more convincing.
"It's a great honor. Elsis saluted the game with her eyes closed, a spell in her mouth, and the "Millennium Jewel" around her neck glowed softly.
Soon, the results came out, Isis, who was oozing fine beads of sweat on her forehead, had a sad face, she nodded and said: "Pharaoh, your feeling is not wrong, there is really a powerful evil force that is heading here, and there is a very familiar aura in it, I suspect that it is the one who defected before, the Grand Priest of the Arknadi......"
"Aknadi ......" Karim and Shada, who were standing aside, clenched their fists unwillingly - they were the first to find out when Aknadi fled, but they didn't expect that they would be killed by Aknadi alone when the two of them went to intercept at the same time!
In the end, Aknati just snatched the thousand-year-old artifact, if it wasn't for the Pharaoh catching up with the "Giant Divine Soldier of Obelisk" in time, and Aknati was in a hurry to escape, not only was the artifact robbed, but the two of them were afraid that they would be engraved on the hero's monument immediately.
It's just that for the priest who was recognized by the artifact, losing the artifact was a crime that was even more embarrassing than death, and Shada and Karim were about to commit suicide to apologize, but they were persuaded by the game.
"It seems to be true, the situation is not good......" The game pretended to think seriously for a while, and threw out the policy he had already thought of: "Everyone, I think that since there is such a dark force with bad intentions against us, we should not sit back and wait for them to attack!" Mahad, I remember that there is another person besides Seth who can mobilize the garrison, right?"
"Are you talking about ......" Mahad looked at the game in disbelief, and then the most loyal priest instantly understood the meaning of the game, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Please don't risk yourself personally!"
"In the face of the dark attack, if you don't even have the determination to take the initiative to fight, you are not worthy of being the Pharaoh!" The game is very firm: "Let the garrison and the priesthood be ready, and we will set off tonight!"
"Yes!" The reason for the expedition was sufficient, and the Pharaoh himself spoke, naturally no one would continue to oppose - the Lord had a big battle outside the city a few days ago, and in their eyes, the current reputation of the Pharaoh could be said to be relatively high.
However, for the game, there is only one purpose of this expedition: that is, to keep the battlefield away from the royal capital!
The last war was too cruel in the game's memory - countless soldiers and priests were buried in the hands of the Necromantic Legion, the common people of the royal capital were killed and wounded, and even the gods fell......
In the end, if Simon hadn't made a sacrifice, then that moment would have been the end of himself.
And this time......
[This time, I won't put you in danger again!] The game looks at Simon behind him, who is still smiling - he doesn't know how evil it is to march in the desert, otherwise with his loyalty, he will never let the Pharaoh set off himself.
Early the next morning, two elite garrisons near the Egyptian royal city, which had originally belonged to Seth, set out camp and set out for the battlefield in the desert......
Meanwhile, in the middle of the desert, the wind blows, and the howls of the necromancers reverberate through the sky - Tapir Liang has arrived at the battlefield of his choice, and he has ordered the Necromantic Legion to be undisguised.
[You really chose to take the initiative...... Can't you bear to sacrifice that old NPC man again? No...... There should already be a way to think he can deal with me?] Tapir smiled evilly, what the game will do, he has already calculated, [hehe...... In this case, you will definitely die in this war!]
