Chapter 452: The Original Pharaoh
In 105 battles led by Charles as a commander, Charles was invincible. The continuation of the victory brought the fighters strong self-confidence, but also accumulated blindness and arrogance.
The first defeat was the most dangerous for the victorious army.
Charles knew that day would come.
However, what he didn't expect was that while he was recording history in the Resurrection Kingdom, smoothly coordinating and negotiating transactions, the Dog City side suffered a fiasco that had never been seen before.
When Charles returned to his hometown, the scene in front of him was extremely strange to him.
The corpses of undead warriors are everywhere, and the living warriors collect the last remaining remains of the dead and stack them on the towers as the building blocks for future rebirths.
Black jackals show a rare sense of restlessness and nervousness, sneezing incessantly and looking into the distance, as if they are always keeping an eye on the enemy's movements.
As the guardian of the city of dogs, the Black Jackal is a ferocious demigod monster. They stand upright, their dorsal crests flush with the walls, and when they howl, the undead crumble to pieces in the howl of wolves.
At this time, many jackals were seriously injured, and they either limped and continued to patrol, or they lay in the corner and licked their wounds.
Charles stepped up the stairs from among the wounded and into the empty and lonely palace.
The King of the Tomb sat on his throne, his insect-like face unchanged.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates will return to you. The latest Yao party has been negotiated, and this issue of the transaction can be carried out at any time. In addition, the war on the kingdom's side seems to have ended with the mediation of the god Yao......"
"Charles."
Kebley interrupted his debriefing and whispered, "Menes is resurrected." ”
There was an exhaustion in the king's voice that could not be concealed.
Charles's heart sank.
This is a big deal.
He immediately applied and took part in the front-line battle.
The demigod [Kechikan], who was condemned as a rebel in the past, has now become an ally of the united front.
"Charles? You're still here...... I thought Kebley was going to keep you to the end of the defense, was there so much pressure? Is it a big deal to change places and just like the heart of the city so much? ”
"Or does he really see himself as the master of this place? That's funny enough. ”
Kechikan waved his wings, as yin and yang as ever.
He was a distinctive demigod with a large, disproportionate eagle head made of skeletal bones and broad, sharp feathers on his arms, all of which were made of white bones that hung over his body.
Coupled with the black-and-red hair between the bones, Ketchikan resembles a humanoid vulture perched on a grave.
Around Ketchikan, there is also a strange figure with a body that has been transformed into a bird. They have a similar face, but they all have bony wings or bony feathers on their bodies.
These hundreds of weirdos are none other than the [Crow Army] of Ketchikan.
They are as dexterous and strong as crows, and they can also transform into illusions, making it difficult to distinguish between real crow armies and false phantoms, which are very difficult to deal with.
"Even if it were you, the situation wouldn't change...... Let's hope you don't have too bad luck today. ”
Kechikan's voice suddenly tensed: "Here it is." ”
The bones and feathers on his body tightened, as if he were facing a great enemy.
Charles also focused on the ahead.
In the distance, among the streets and houses, the shadow of a majestic model lake slowly appeared.
His long legs trampled through the streets of Dog City, crushing the houses and buildings along the way.
The sun shone on his back, casting a long, large shadow on the ground, like some kind of black tide, surging in this direction.
The enemy was wrapped in a light brown shroud, and only a human figure could be discerned.
His body was strong and stiff, and he walked forward in the sun, wisps of dust seeping out of his body, further obscuring the face of the future.
The head of the giant mummy Yin wore a red and white crown.
Unlike the dirty shroud, the red and white colors on the high crown are bright and eye-catching, as if they have not been eroded by any dust and time.
Charles clenched his fists at the sight.
The original Pharaoh, Menes.
She is one of the gods of the [Hayabusa] Horus, and after her fall, Anubis recovered her mutilated body, embalmed and buried her, and then came to Dog City to sleep forever.
Kebley had said that.
"Menes is also the top group among the title gods, but unfortunately, he was killed by the hippopotamus transformed into the [Lord of Power], one of the Nine Pillar Gods."
"Lord Anubis was entrusted by Horus to bring Menes' ghost back from the underworld. But when she went to the underworld, she realized that Menes' ghost had not reached that side at all, but had been completely stripped by the [Lord of Power] and fed to the strange object she had raised. ”
"In the end, Lord Anubis had to bury the remnants of Menes' body...... After many years, Horus finally took revenge by killing the Lord of Power. Lord Anubis also took part of the corpse of the [Lord of Power] and buried it in the City of Dogs to comfort the fallen Menes. ”
……
The huge deity wrapped in his face slowly raised his hand, and he held a flail staff.
Menice, who was only a shell, had long since become a monster of desire.
He raised his flail and pointed forward, and said in a hoarse voice with a lake, "Forward, forward!" Under the sun, all is territory! ”
There was a rumbling sound from behind.
Behind Menes was a mummified soldier. They were lined up, armed with spears and shields, and marched in this direction like ant colonies.
Charles saw it at a glance.
These soldiers were the embodiment of Menes' power, and each of them was an empty shell wrapped in a shroud.
But even if they are empty shells, they are all difficult warriors full of demigod power.
That's just a small part of Menes' many abilities.
One man into an army.
Ketchikan took the lead and flew to entangle Menes himself. The Crow Army also pounced on the Mummy-Yin Legion behind.
Charles commanded the undead warriors to cut, detour, and outflank the Mummy Yin army separately, trying to make it impossible for them to unite in one place, and trying to break them one by one.
However, the soldiers' side was still fighting fiercely, and Menes had already torn off one of Ketchikan's wings, and he grabbed the skull of the opposite demigod and lifted it open.
】
Ketchikan shattered, turning into an exploding ball of light and numerous turbulent air currents.
Serpentine lightning bolts erupted from the ball of light, and they flew in all directions.
"This guy is getting stronger and stronger, you can almost run, I'll withdraw first......"
Instead of dying, Ketchikan abandoned this body and strategically retreated.
The battle in Dog City has always been like this.
It is rare to be bored and beaten to death.
As long as the two sides are serious, they will soon know how big the gap is between them.
If they are evenly matched, it will not be easy to fight again, and both sides will maintain restraint. If there is a large gap in strength, the weak will quickly get out of the war to avoid irreversible trauma and preserve their existing strength.
Therefore, in the city of dogs, one of the reasons why the legion of undead warriors wins more and loses less is that they are not afraid of death, and every time they fight, they regard death as home.
Most of the other demigods and monsters, even if they don't have high intelligence or follow instincts, choose to stay away from the edge.
Point-to-point is the battlefield style here.
But this is not the case with Menes.
The body of the once powerful title god has risen from its slumber and has become the most chaotic monster.
Monsters at this stage are the most terrifying, because they don't have any intelligence and act purely on the instincts of beasts. Like a baby with the power of a god, unpredictable and incomprehensible.
Charles led the resistance and soon ordered a retreat, leaving behind the corpses of six undead warriors.
Fortunately, Menes did not pursue, and he patrolled around his newfound territory with non-existent soldiers.
……
Kebley has no blame for this defeat.
"You know the actual situation."
He said slowly, "Menes is unstoppable now. Kechikan and they kept entering this territory, because they were hunted and hunted by Menes, and they had to retreat all the way, so it seemed like they were making trouble everywhere......"
Charles asked, "Your Majesty, why did Menes wake up suddenly?" Isn't he sleeping in a seal beneath the grave? That's a protective measure that Lord Anubis deliberately left behind, why did it suddenly ......"
"I've secretly investigated this matter."
Keyely's voice was low: "The seal has been tampered with. ”
"Who is the enemy?" Charles looked serious.
"Do you remember...... Six hundred years ago, was there a magician who blew the whistle? ”
Charles saw the appearance of a magician in yellow.
The magician appears to be a human, but is actually a humanoid golem. That guy is sneaky, and after being caught by the black jackal, he blew himself up into countless pieces.
"That magician is a member of the [Whistleblower] family, not a normal creature, and the seal bears traces of his haunting."
"The title of [Whistleblower] is a certain power to control the puppet with a whistle, and the corpses of the gods scattered throughout the city of Dogs are priceless to that guy. ”
"She sent the Roll Clan deep underground to break the seal on the outside of [Menes] and awaken him."
Charles became vigilant: "You mean that the magician is still alive, even controlling Menes with a whistle in the dark?" ”
"No, that's impossible. To control Menes, unless the whistleblower herself comes here and uses the power of her title, there is only one chance...... The power of the Roll Clan alone is not enough. ”
"Now, we have to deal with two enemies."
"Menes at a close distance, and the whistleblower hiding in the shadows."
"The top priority is to stabilize the situation and not let it deteriorate," Kebley said slowly. I know a thing or two about Menes, he wasn't a force madman, his instincts were actually ...... Chase wins and collect loot. ”
"If you give him what he doesn't have, Menes will stop attacking."
"It's a long-term job, and the gift can't be repeated...... We need a lot of items. Charles, go contact the Yao clan and ask the Yao God behind them if they are willing to start a new deal. ”
Charles knew it.
The gift of goods free of charge is actually a tribute.
Master Kable's ability to bend and stretch made him admire it for a while.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I will definitely do my best to facilitate this new deal with the Yao clan!"
Charles held his head high.
"Go ahead...... I await your good news. ”
