Hemmer traveled overland and came a little later.

Formal talks have not yet begun, so Menes has tried to avoid contact between the two sides to avoid the enemy's disappearance when they meet, and Menes has also strengthened security measures to avoid sabotage by extremists.

The High Priest of the Holy City is always late, but it is already great news that he can come, you must know that the High Priest has not left the Holy City for more than ten years, and the last time he left the Holy City was when His Majesty the previous Pharaoh was there.

Everything was so amazing in Menes' territory that the High Priest decided to come and see for himself.

In order to welcome the arrival of the high priest, Menes used the highest courtesy, and the retired Lord Andyère also came out to greet him personally, and the ceremony of entering the city was solemn and mysterious, and the high priest was not as ostentatious as the Queen of Lilies but more solemn.

For the first time in many years, Menes used a ritual of prostration, after all, Menes had said last time that he would give some respect to the gods of the Kemert Kingdom.

To give the high priest respect is to give respect to the gods, which makes the high priest satisfied.

The most important thing before the start of the talks is that everyone will see their great inventions and achievements, which is essential and what the three parties want to know most about this meeting.

Menes also held a special exposition for this meeting, and displayed in the exhibition hall all his major inventions, the steam engine, the steam locomotive No. 3, the steam spinning machine, the latest loom, the plough for ploughing, the compass, the telescope, the microscope, He also gave the high priest a pair of reading glasses and a wheelchair, after all, the powerful high priest also belongs to human beings, so it is inevitable that he will age, when the high priest puts on his glasses, the world is clear again, as for the wheelchair, the high priest smiled and sighed, smiled, the wheelchair is good, but it seems better to sit in a sedan chair.

Water-powered mills, windmills, sawmills, glass mills, steel mills, coal mines, leather processing plants, distilleries, cement mills, brick kilns, and much more.

These things dazzled this group of people, what kind of magic is this, how is this so powerful? magnifying glasses can be combined to clearly see the distance, and can collect the light of the god and transform it into flames!

What is the sacredness of the god of machines in Menes' mouth?

This confusion worried the High Priest, so much so that on his last stop on his visit to the Menesmo Academy, the High Priest paused for a moment and finally stepped into what they thought was a pagan temple.

The High Priest wanted to know what the dwelling place of the so-called god of machines looked like, but he was obviously disappointed, there were no shrines, no statues, no servants, no ornate temples, only a few clean and simple rooms, and those so-called servants were called teachers, who were responsible for teaching children to learn, and many of the teachers were just recent graduates.

The only person who could be called a temple priest was probably the lean and senile old man, and this old man, the snake blower of the Kemert Kingdom, was not a true heathen.

The things taught by the academy are not doctrines, there are no spells, no magic rituals, only things called science, it is this thing that creates those mechanical devices, of course, the high priest also found that many of Menes' inventions actually use the demigods of his own kingdom or the magicians of the holy city, which makes the high priest very happy, it seems that no matter how Menes brags, how powerful his mechanical god is, he still can't do without the gods he obeys.

The last item to visit is Menes' army, which is a force that has gained a foothold in troubled times, and all achievements will eventually be transformed into the fruits of victory through the army.

Menes has a small number of troops, but the weapons are very sophisticated, all the equipment of Menes soldiers has exceeded the standard configuration of the royal guard, the copper helmet is also equipped with cotton armor for cushioning, the new type of chain mail can defend against chopping and piercing, it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt them, the number of sheet metal armor is not much, but the defense is more powerful, the standard weapon of each soldier is a spear, a metal shield, a steel short sword, a recurve compound bow and twenty feather arrows, each person also carries a dagger.

Even the archers are stalwart and can attack from a distance as well as in hand-to-hand combat, with powerful crossbows and infantry longbows that can kill enemies from afar.

The charioteers were completely replaced by cavalry, and the efficient mobility of the light cavalry was breathtaking, running and dodging at high speed, freeing up their hands to release arrows, leaving the infantry helpless and only passively defending.

The infantry charged, the cavalry retreated, the infantry formed formations, and the cavalry kept firing arrows around, which made the infantry very annoyed.

The charge of the heavy cavalry, destroying all the soldiers in front of them, trampled the infantry under their feet, and the sharp spears pierced the shields of the infantry, completely disrupting the infantry formation, causing a huge panic.

The catapults of the siege troops, the bed crossbow, have long been imitated by everyone, but they have never been surpassed, Menes' engineering equipment is more sophisticated, more numerous, and has greater attack power.

The latest five-layer paddle warship moored on the Nunn River, the volume is so huge that the general river section is impassable at all, this is a sharp weapon for naval warfare, not a small sampan on the river, a trebuchet is directly installed on the wide deck, a bed crossbow, and an iron-clad ramming angle can directly and easily crash any ship, in fact, such a warship does not need to fire and kill the enemy at all, a direct impact is enough, and Menes said lightly that this ship can be used for a few years, and in the future, his own will build a more majestic warship with super firepower, what kind of warship will it be？

These war equipment is already very strong, a few days of military exercises, has made the three forces feel shuddering fear, but this is not all, when Menes opened the warehouse, everyone felt the real shock, the number of weapons and equipment in the warehouse is huge, even according to Menes' high standard, it can also arm tens of thousands of people, that is to say, as long as Menes is willing, and recruit enough soldiers can quickly form a force of tens of thousands of people.

Oh my God! This is only a few years of achievement, if you wait a few years, will Menes be able to raise an army of hundreds of thousands of people? This is terrible!

The only thing that can make everyone feel more at ease is that there are still relatively few demigods in Menes' hands, powerful undertakers, magicians, snake blowers, eyes of mist, explorers, oracles, and creators are all poor, although there are several demigods with high ability, but after all, the number is limited.

Demigods are a very precious human resource for the Kemert Kingdom, and they are basically monopolized by the White City and the Holy City, these demigods are not able to leave if they want to, and everyone is treated very well, and many people don't want to leave.

In addition, there is another point that causes many demigods to be reluctant to come to Menes's territory, that is, Menes does not respect the gods, as a demigod, all abilities are gifts from the gods, how can you not respect the gods? Demigods who do not respect the gods will definitely be punished by the gods, and the only more numerous Menes are the mourners, which is also because of the fame of Menes in several battles.

As for the magician that the kingdom relies on the most, there is only Jett in the territory at present, and there is no oracle master, and Menes, the eye of the fog who can predict the future, has not seen it.

This reassures everyone a little, as long as these demigods are still in everyone's hands, Menes does not have the ability to rebel.

At the end of the territory visit, Menes put everything that needed to be displayed in front of everyone's eyes, and of course the things that needed to be kept secret were not shown yet, and now everyone is more accepting of Menes' mediation.

Where can you be a police officer if you don't have the strength, and how can you mediate if you don't have the strength?

After Haimer finished his thorough visit, he exhaled deeply, fortunately, this son-in-law took a fancy to his daughter, and successfully defeated the marriage proposal competitor, now he has to persuade Yunia to agree to this marriage as soon as possible, this little girl is too ignorant, where to find such a son-in-law?

This matter must be finalized as soon as possible, I heard that Queen Lily is already playing Menes' idea, it would be bad if Queen Lily got Menes in advance, the title of a queen's companion is still very tempting, that is a title that can be turned positive at any time, there is no such thing in history as a queen's husband, instead of the queen ruling the country, and the enchantress is indeed outstanding.

Queen Lily almost left in anger before, vowing to kill Menes, but now it seems that it is better not to be an enemy of Menes, at least not to be a head-on enemy, and it is possible that this relationship will be repaired.

Before coming, Queen Lily still thought that her strength was indeed a little worse, but Menes was not good, but she was richer, and the title of the King of Mummies was more powerful, so the conditions for her alliance Menes would never be able to refuse, and now it seems that she was wrong, she is the weakest force in this group of people, Menes's strength is already very strong, and she doesn't need herself at all, as long as he is given a little more time, Hemmer is not an opponent, he already has the ability to grab the power by himself, which is the real reason why Menes rejected him, and Menes will soon be able to take it, including himself！

The high priest of the Holy City didn't have so many worries, it didn't matter who was in power, as long as his own gods existed, he didn't have to worry, even Menes didn't need his own gods and demigods?

Menes didn't even perform the kneeling ritual of the pharaoh, and did kneel and bow to himself, which proves that Menes still relies on the gods, so don't worry, in the end, the gods will still be respected, and the status of the temple will not be affected, and there are things like undead beasts assisted by gods, the Nine Gods Legion will always need themselves, and the people of the kingdom will always need the temple, they can have no food, but they can't do without the protection of the gods.

The Quartet quickly sat down to talk, of course, the main point of the contradiction was between Queen Lily and Hemer, the Holy City just wanted to fish in troubled waters and reap the benefits, Menes needed a relatively balanced and equal situation, Menes needed to maintain a period of peace, as long as there was enough time Menes believed that they could develop gunpowder weapons, and then they could kill the Quartet, and no one could stop them.

Hymer's demand was that Queen Lily renounce her title and fully recognize the legitimate status of the little pharaoh, and at the same time surrender her own territory and return to the palace, so that she could guarantee Cleopatra's safety and due status and respect.

Of course, this is a condition, if the queen can agree, she will not be used here to accept mediation, and it will be good to surrender directly, and the conditions may be better negotiated.

The queen's conditions were more reliable, and the only concession was to recognize the legitimate status of the little pharaoh, but the pharaoh had to officially crown himself with the title of queen of lilies.

The Holy City also made its own demands, very simply, to restore the situation before Ramses XI, all the forces to stop their military operations, Pharaoh must accept the coronation of the Holy City, and at the same time should give a large payment to the Fish Holy City, including the previous debts.

Menes did not mention his own conditions, he was in charge of mediation, and he would not collect the benefit fee until the mediation was almost over.
