Chapter 82: Etiquette for Entering the City

The current situation of the Kemert Kingdom is like the wrinkles on the prime minister's forehead, the ravines are accumulating vertically and horizontally, and the wrinkles that cannot be solved are also the knots that the kingdom cannot unravel.

Hemmer's distress added more wrinkles, and the Wang family agent stood in the hall to report the situation.

"Menes dares to come to White City, is he bold?" said Chancellor of the Exchequer Sinnu with a smile.

Hemmer glared at Sinu and said, "Guts? Menes is not lacking, there are people lacking!"

"He's only here to demonstrate, the civilian general is already on his way to the fortress of Olisses, which is very close to us, Jett has rushed to curry favor with the Holy City, and we have one more enemy!" said Hemer.

"But where did the Lily Queen stop helping?" said Sinnu, smugly.

"It's a moratorium on military aid, and as long as Cleopatra has money, those Achaias will continue to help the rebels!" corrected Hemmer.

"Jer, I need to continue to increase the blockade of Lily Harbor, and all ships cannot enter Lily Harbor!"

"Your Excellency, at this time I am not in favor of a blatant blockade of Menes' merchant fleet, which would completely push Menes over Queen Lily!" replied Armoury Master Jer.

"He has chosen to be on the side of the rebellion, and now our most important bargaining chip, Lord Andyèb, has also disappeared innocently and been kidnapped, this knot cannot be untied, we must act immediately to completely seal off the port and eliminate the Lily Queen!" Hemmer punched the table.

"The main road of Lily Harbor is already under our control, but the waterway zone is not our advantage, Teros has recently been defeated by the Achaias at sea, the harbor is completely open, and we have no ability to encircle the harbor unless it is attacked by land!" Győr analyzed.

Heimer was silent for a while, raised his head and said, "Agree to the request of the Yananan, on the condition that 10,000 soldiers take Lily Harbor!"

"This ...... Besides, it's a bit late to accede to the demands of the Yananite, who are actually already in a state of independence, and their appetite is even greater. Jerle hesitated.

"The king of Anan is young, isn't he? not married?"

"Yes, David is not married, you mean ......"

"It's time for Yunia to find a husband, you go and arrange it!"

The Yanans are one of the small countries in the northeast of the Kemert Kingdom, and they were only vassal states of the Kemert Kingdom before, and with the decline of the Kemert Kingdom in recent years, they took the opportunity to rebel and become independent again, David is the hero of the Yanamite people, unified the surrounding areas, and is currently vigorous, and the combat effectiveness of the army is strong, but after all, it is a small country, and has been seeking the recognition of the Kemert Kingdom, so that it is possible to gain a firm foothold in their own territory.

Political marriage is naturally the best way to form an alliance, and with the support of the Kemert Kingdom, it can show its strength in the land of milk and honey.

Menes is now a rising star in the entire kingdom, and his power should not be underestimated, and his visit immediately aroused the strong interest of the people of White City, and His Majesty Pharaoh could not ignore Menes' existence, so he used the highest standard of reception etiquette.

The King's Road in the White City was decorated with huge canopies to shield the streets from the dazzling sun, soldiers in costumes lined the streets, and the citizens of the city poured into the streets to welcome Menes.

The trebuchet that White City had stolen from Menes was not used on the battlefield, but was the first to be used in the welcoming ceremony, where the huge trebuchet threw countless petals into the air and sprinkled them on the heads of Menes' team, and the entire street was covered with flowers.

Menes was the first to enter the city with a fully armored cavalry brigade, bright armor glistening in the sunlight and shiny swords raised above their heads.

Trumpets and bells rang in unison, and Menes, seated on a giant palanquin carried by twelve mummies, entered the city through the main entrance and marched towards the palace.

The attendants in the back row stood on the heavy four-wheeled wagons pulled by Baniu, and threw bread, fruits, cloth, all kinds of pickled meats, and coins into the crowd, and the surrounding people frantically scrambled for gifts, loudly admiring Menes' kindness and wealth.

Finally* entered the city was the camel team led by Rasim, all the camels were carefully dressed according to the habits of the desert nomad camel son, with a strong exotic flavor, the citizens of the White City could not help but admire the strength of Menes with curiosity, and the unruly desert nomads had been conquered by Menes.

Of course, the most attractive thing is Menes himself and the divine punishment mummy he brought!

"Look, the king of the mummies is here, the king of the mummies is so heroic!"

"Look, those mummies are really living creatures, they are the guardians of Anubis, and they all obediently obey the instructions of Lord Menes, who is the embodiment of Anubis!"

Soon, the people on both sides of the street fell to their knees and bowed to the ground, shouting, "Great Mummified King, darling of the gods, incarnate of Anubis, mighty Menes, may the gods be with you!"

"King of Mummies, King of Mummies!"

Standing on the edge of His Majesty's throne, Hemmer said sourly, "The people seem to have forgotten Your Majesty!"

The little pharaoh took the scepter and said excitedly, "Prime Minister, can the mummy of Menes really dance? Menes doesn't seem to have transformed into the king of mummies? I want the mummies to dance!"

"Your Majesty, it's your right!" replied Hemmer.

Menes' large palanquin slowly walked to the bottom of the steps of the palace, the palanquin fell to the ground, Menes stepped on the mummy of divine punishment and stepped down the palanquin, standing in place and not bowing to the pharaoh, but standing quietly in place and watching the little pharaoh and the prime minister.

"Welcome to His Majesty, the Acting Lord of the Holy Cat State, to His Majesty's palace and bow down!" Hemmer shouted loudly.

It's not that Menes doesn't know etiquette, it's just that Menes is not used to this kind of kneeling etiquette, and besides, the little pharaoh's outstretched left foot doesn't seem to be cleaned, and Menes doesn't intend to perform the kissing foot etiquette when they meet.

Before entering the White City, everyone discussed this etiquette many times, and everyone agreed that the etiquette of His Majesty Pharaoh should not be ignored, this is the rule of heaven!

Menes was very disgusted, besides, this time he came to Baicheng with the purpose of rejuvenating the teacher and asking the guilt to show off his might, and Menes bowed his head if he didn't want to enter the door!

Heimer looked at Menes for a long time and frowned and shouted, "You still don't salute when you see Your Majesty?"

Menes glared at Hemmer and ignored him, and said to His Majesty the Pharaoh, "May the gods grant you joy, the great son of Horus, the light of the gods of Ra, the lord of the upper and lower Kemertes, the ruler of the kingdom of Noa, the Tellos, the Ananites, the desert wanderers, Your Majesty Ramses XII!"

Menes actually just stood there and saluted!

The little pharaoh was not angry when he heard such a unique joyful blessing, and actually laughed.

Menes continued, "I, the lord of the Holy Cat and Ram states, the king of mummies, and the demigod mourner, thank you for your kind invitation, and please forgive me for not being able to pay the full salute, and let me show my respect for Your Majesty with the dance of the mummy!"

"Menes!" Hemmer yelled angrily.

The little pharaoh didn't care about these etiquettes, and when he heard that Menes was going to perform a mummy dance here, he laughed happily, "Okay...... Menes, you make the mummy dance!"

In front of everyone's eyes, Haimer couldn't force his twist, so he could only keep his face blue and not speak.

As the music sounded, the Divine Punishment Mummies began to dance, and such strange music and novel dances made all the people in the square cheer excitedly, and this group of mummy dance steps that seemed so clumsy could indeed be uniform, dancing to the rhythm of the music.

The music was getting faster and faster, and the mummies were dancing faster and faster, and when the final accent sounded, the twelve mummies immediately let out a cries of stopping, and the sharp sound passed through everyone's ear drums, and everyone was stunned in place.

The little pharaoh's clapping and cheering hand stopped in mid-air, and Hemer's angry expression froze!

"That's enough, take Menes into the palace, his show is over!" Hemmer roared as the sound stopped.

The welcoming ceremony ended with Hemer's anger and the cheers of the people, and Menes sneered as he entered the palace with the royal guards.

Hemmer frantically destroys tables, chairs, and utensils in the Prime Minister's Hall.

"Prime Minister, rest your anger!" said Sinnu, kneeling on the ground and trembling in reassurance.

"How dare he, Menes, tease me like this? Don't we have a demigod? He thinks he can control an entire kingdom with a single mummified king, I'm going to kill him!" Hemmer cursed angrily!

"Your Excellency is angry, now is not the time, besides, Menes has a god to punish the mummy, I'm afraid we can't easily move him, you can also see the situation today, the people's cries are shocking, if something happens to Menes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain!"

"Confess, what am I going to confess to a group of untouchables? I am the Prime Minister, the Lord of the Kingdom, and they should bow down to me!"

"With all due respect, for the time being, we still have to tolerate Menes' disrespect, and the destruction of the Lily Queen is the top priority, and the rebellious lord is still the lord, and Cleopatra retains the blood of the royal family!" said Jer.

Hemmer sat in the prime minister's chair and gasped, and said half-paid, "Prepare for the banquet in the evening, we will personally receive Menes, and send additional people to take care of Menes, don't do anything else, mobilize your undertakers and magicians, and add a magic barrier to Menes!"

"Yes, my lord!" Jerry ordered to leave.

Menes's residence has been wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, saying that it is to protect Menes' safety, but in fact it is to imprison Menes, Menes knew this result before he came, and what Menes did today is indeed too arrogant.

It should be said that Menes' behavior is too outrageous, causing a bad impact, the original Prime Minister's group of bureaucrats is not monolithic, and many people are not satisfied with the Prime Minister's arbitrariness, such as Jer, who is one of them, many people regard Menes as a loyal person who rescued His Majesty Pharaoh, but today Menes does not act like a loyal minister!

Menes also noticed this change, and she was a little too arrogant, especially in the etiquette of the pharaohs, even the ordinary people did not approve of Menes' rudeness, but it was already like this, whatever, about the kissing etiquette, Menes really couldn't get over his own knot.

Forget it, deterrence is also very important, I don't need you to love me, you are afraid of me, Menes thought!
