Chapter 303: The End of Cairo

Today was an unforgettable day for Napoleon, as his worldview was completely turned upside down! He fell into a state of doubt about life, and you may wonder, isn't he a great man? What other situation of a great hero like him could not bear with his resolute heart and broad (xiōng) placket?

If it was just Josephine's betrayal, of course this kind of trivial matter would not be able to defeat our "Sultan of Kebir", just like Han Xing teased before, our caliph gave himself a very oriental pen name - Sultan Kebil. I'm curious if he would give himself a nickname such as "Mighty General", "King Desheng", "Ancient Emperor", and "Invincible Khan" if he came to the Celestial Empire. With his half-witted level of knowing little about the culture of the Celestial Empire, most of them will give themselves a ridiculous nickname!

You may say that the scene in front of you is just a scene like the end (rì), showing a blood-colored sky and a rain of meteorites and fire falling from the sky, how can such a scene scare a person? Was Napoleon a coward?

Of course not! You know, the people who are most afraid of ghosts in this world are often "atheists", why? As atheists, they don't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods at all, they deny their existence from their hearts, and a whole host of other divine things. But if one day, they really encounter a ghost, it will have a chain reaction, if the ghost exists, does that mean that the underworld and hell also exist? Does God Exist Too? Does the afterlife also exist? It's a chain reaction, a serious upend to the atheist's worldview, and that's the source of their fear!

Napoleon, on the other hand, was a religious pragmatist, and fundamentally his view of religion was very similar to that of an atheist, except that he advocated religion and used it to serve his political activities. But like those Catholic missionaries, in reality, Napoleon never believed that there was any God, Satan, in this world.

However, this judgment-like scene completely overturns the worldview of our conqueror, and it is a feeling of collapse of faith. That's the main reason why he's become hysterical. In fact, any other great man in this world would be frightened by this unscientific scene! Even Lincoln once suffered a year-long nervous breakdown due to the failure of his career and the death of his wife.

When Napoleon, Murat and Berthier left the headquarters and hurried into the streets, they were surprised to find that the black sky in the distance was pressing towards the ground.

"What's going on? Is today the last (rì) judgment? O my Lord! Bertier took a small cross from his neck and kissed it as he muttered a prayer.

"No, no, no, I don't think it's the sky, they're moving at high speed, like some kind of living thing!" Napoleon said as he looked through his monoculars at the "sky" in the distance pressed towards the three of them.

"Did you hear anything?" Napoleon asked, observing the black and oppressive sky.

"I can't hear you very clearly, Commander, there's screams everywhere right now, burning houses collapsing, and the rumble of fireballs falling from the sky!" Mura shouted at the top of her voice.

"I mean a dense buzzing sound, like the sound of thousands of mosquitoes or flies swarming towards us!" Napoleon said with a look of incredulity. Even he couldn't believe what he was saying, it was so weird!

"Admiral, I think you can get rid of the word "like", because there are indeed thousands of flies flying towards us! Bertier's face turned pale with fright, and he tugged at Napoleon's sleeve with his right hand as he used his left index finger to tremble at the approaching (yīn) sunken "sky". Where is the sinking "sky" (yīn), it is simply a sea of thousands of flies!

"Run! Run, go back to the house! Napoleon hurriedly put away his monoculars, and the three of them supported each other and fled towards the headquarters.

"Oh my God! This Egypt is also terrible, how can there be so many flies! I can't believe what would have become if we were exposed now, maybe we would be carried away by flies! Murat tied the gate to death, then leaned his back against the gate and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Say no, they are attracted by your body odor, smell the fragrance! The only person they want to move away is probably you! Bertier joked with a wicked taste, "As we all know, our Colonel Murat has always been a member of the public (qíng), and his strong masculinity (shēn) is like a lion, which makes the ladies of Paris obsessed and compete for their own pillows~"

"I'll take that as a compliment!" Murat smirked in a toned pose, highlighting her muscles (ròu) and said, "With my burly and strong (shēn) material, even if I stand still, they can't shake me in the slightest!" Don't say it's a swarm of flies, not even you! "It's basically saying: You Bertier are no different from a swarm of flies to me, nothing more than buzzing!

"You can go out and try it!" Hearing Murat's overtones, Bertier said with a sour face.

"If you think about it, I'm pretty sure they can't help me, but if they rush in between the doors of the door, I'm afraid it will threaten the life of Your Excellency! So forget it~" Murat held the doorknob with her right hand and made a gesture of opening the door, then hesitated for a moment and retracted her hand.

"Flies, blood, and rain of fire in the sky, don't you think it all sounds familiar?" Napoleon didn't care about the two living treasures, and he paced restlessly around the room, his chin resting on his right hand, and his face contemplative.

"Damn it, Bertier, give me your Bible!" Napoleon stopped abruptly and slapped his head. A conservative French gentleman, Berthier was a devout Catholic, and the Bible has always been a collection of pasted (shēn).

Berthier hurriedly took out a small and delicate Bible from his arms, the volume was only the size of a palm, and it looked like a cheat sheet carried by a cheating candidate in the ancient Celestial Empire.

Napoleon snatched the pocket Bible, and then dipped his finger in the spit and rummaged through it, in order to reduce the size and make it easy to carry, each page of this pocket Bible is as thin as a cicada's wing, and it takes extra care to turn it over. Luckily, the Bible seems to be used a lot, so the corners are carefully folded.

"Oh my God, these are the ten plagues of ancient Egypt!" Napoleon, after carefully examining it for a while, sat down in a dejected manner.

"What am I doing wrong? God is going to punish me like this? Just because I said: Is the Qur'an and the Bible on an equal footing? Because I said: Muhammad was a messenger from God like Jesus! Are God and Allah one? My Father in Heaven, do not forsake me, I take back my word, and I beg you to receive your powers. Napoleon cried in his heart for a while.

If Han Xing knew Napoleon's inner thoughts at this time, he would probably laugh back and forth! After all, Han Xing knew very well that this disaster was completely provoked by the revived lich of Immorton, but our poor Napoleon didn't know it!

As mentioned earlier, Napoleon was a religious user, in other words, he was an extremely confident man, he was his own god, he believed that he was the chosen son, the son of God, the man destined to change the world!

In fact, Napoleon's thoughts are very similar to the emperors of the Celestial Empire, and don't the emperors of the Celestial Empire all call themselves "Sons of Heaven"? He thinks that he is the ruler of the world who is ordained by heaven to rule over all directions. Every time there is some natural disaster, those great emperors will issue an edict of guilt, saying "All parties are guilty, and the crime is bowing". It means, God, dear father! What's wrong is my fault, please come at me! Of course, in fact, the actual effect of the guilty edict is about zero, and it is no different from a placebo in medicine.

"I· Mo · · Don... I·· Mo · · Don·····" At that moment, a neat, low, rè cry came from outside the house.

"Did you hear that?" Berthier tilted his head and pricked up his ears to listen.

"Who is Immorton?" Napoleon was puzzled, in his worldview, he had never heard of this name! If he knew that this Immorton was actually the resurrected mummy high priest, he would have scared his soul out!

"The last time I heard someone shout someone's name so wildly and neatly was after the Battle of the Great Pyramids. But at that time they were all shouting "Napoleon!" Napoleon! ”········” Murat slapped Napoleon's horse without a trace, which is also his usual trick, he is a typical playboy with a mouth full of trains.

"Since there's people walking around outside, doesn't that mean those damn flies have dispersed?" Berthier touched his chin and said in contemplation.

"No matter where this Immorton is, I must meet him!" Napoleon walked majestically to the gate, then carefully opened a slit and looked around to see that there was no one around, and then beckoned to the latter two (shēn).

The meteor shower seemed to have stopped, and the flies had dispersed, but the sky was still blood-red, and even the liquid flowing from the overturned buckets on the ground was dark red, exuding a strong smell of blood, which was a terrible scene that can only be seen in hell!

"The top priority is for us to go to the military camp outside the city to meet with the large army and come back to suppress this riot!" Napoleon didn't understand why the departed crowd was calling the name "Immorton", but he was an expert in suppressing insurrection (qíng)!
