As Bai Xiaowen bowed, he quietly used [Insight] on Samet, notifying him that 70 Psionic Points had been deducted.

"This is a summoner who is inclined towards team support …" Bai Xiaowen was surprised by Samet's class. He was actually a high priest of a temple. Although he did not know what "Karnak Temple" meant, for a young man like Samet to be a high priest was as intriguing as his identity as a legion commander.
"Lord Samet, this subordinate officer named Dior disobeyed my orders." Zehu, the commander of the fourth phalanx, stepped forward and complained.
Samet looked at Bai Xiaowen. "Are you the one who said you wanted to see me? You have something to tell me? "
Zehu opened his mouth a little uneasily, but he did not dare to speak.
"It's like this …" Bai Xiaowen first told him about the discovery of the Hittite scouts, then described the results. "I killed two of them and captured the other two alive. From them, I learned a shocking piece of news … So, I have to report it to the legion commander personally. "
"What shocking news?" Samet asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid it's not suitable to explain this kind of secret here." Bai Xiaowen was still very conscious of confidentiality.
Samet nodded. "That makes sense." He looked up and said, "All soldiers, retreat 200 steps."
The crowd retreated like a receding tide, leaving behind a circular field with a radius of 200 steps.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the group of burly guards beside Samet.
"They are my most loyal guards and also the kingdom's barrier. There won't be any safety issues. You can speak now, "Samet said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and asked a question, "Lord Samet, may I know if the Pharaoh is near the Khari Stone City?"
Samet scrutinized Bai Xiaowen for a while before nodding. "Yes, there were two Bedouin nomads who fled previously. They brought information about the main force of the Hittite. At present, the main force of the Hittite army was hundreds of miles away in Harpa, and the defense of the Stone City of Kadi was weak. The Pharaoh led God Amon's legion and crossed the Oronte River first. They were stationed in the south of the city of Kadesh, planning to take down the city first and gain the upper hand in the war. "
"Really?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said, "But in the confession of the Hittite scouts, they said that the main force of the Hittite army had secretly moved to the east bank of the Oronte River, preparing to ambush the Pharaoh!"
Samet frowned, apparently weighing the authenticity of this information. He quickly raised his head.
"The information you gave me is very important. I will take these two Hittite scouts away, and I will interrogate them strictly, "Samet said.
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. "Lord Samet, the current situation is that the Pharaoh is facing a crisis and may be surrounded by the main force of the Hittites at any time … I don't think we should waste any more time. We should send people to cross the river to the Khari area as soon as possible and report this news to the Pharaoh. God Ptah's legion should also immediately move in the direction of Khari and prepare to participate in the battle. "
Samet's eyes sharpened. "Remember your identity, Dior's war chariot captain. I am the decision maker of this legion, and I will not send an unconfirmed information to the Pharaoh! After the entire army is reorganized, head north according to the Pharaoh's scheduled orders. Our target is the city of Ugarit! "
Samet swung his cloak, and five colorful feathers flashed. Like a proud rooster, he turned and left. He also took the two Hittite captives with him.
… …
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi stood on the war chariot, the creaking sound of the wooden wheels constantly entering their ears.
"You have made a meritorious contribution, so why are there no notifications at all? There is also no increase in reputation, "Li Shuyi said in the team channel.
Bai Xiaowen's brows were tightly knitted as he pondered over the problem. His super brain came up with one hypothesis after another, and then combined it with the existing information to make inferences, eliminating the less likely hypotheses one by one.
"There is something wrong with Samet," Bai Xiaowen suddenly said.
Li Shuyi was shocked. "No way? He is one of the four commanders and a high priest. To be in such a high position at such a young age … "
"What's so strange about becoming an emperor wanting to become an immortal? Don't underestimate the greed of others," Bai Xiaowen said. "I originally wanted to get a mission from Samet to successfully enter the eyes of the Pharaoh Ramses … But Samet didn't even send a messenger and still insisted on marching as planned … This is very unlike the actions of a commander loyal to the Pharaoh."
"Then what should we do?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "Since Samet won't give us a mission, we will do it ourselves. The information was obtained from memory fragments that I read with a charm and telepathy. For this, two Hittite captives died … So the authenticity is completely reliable. Of the two Hittites who were taken away, one of them is still under the control of the charm. "
"As long as we can see the Pharaoh Ramses and give him a warning, successfully getting him out of danger, the main mission should be almost complete. And the favorability accumulated from the Pharaoh can be used to investigate the Silent Tongue organization in the future. "
"Okay." Li Shuyi's answer was brief and powerful.
Bai Xiaowen pulled the reins, and the trotting warhorse let out a long neigh. Then, the warhorse turned left and left the army.
Behind them, the former coachman, Mylou, who had been demoted to an infantryman, saw this scene and couldn't help but scream, "Dior! What are you doing? "
Bai Xiaowen didn't answer this guy at all. Using his psychic connection, he urged the warhorse to plunge into the dense forest on the left.
Mylou shouted loudly, "Someone come! Law enforcement team! Commander! Dior is going to defect! "In fact, he didn't think that Bai Xiaowen was going to defect or anything. He was just deliberately saying this.
"Congratulations, you were right." Bai Xiaowen smiled and raised the Desert Eagle to Mylou.
A shot to the forehead!
Vital Attack! Critical Hit! Penetration special effect! Desire to Kill triggered!
Mylou fell on his back.
This shot successfully deterred the other Egyptian soldiers, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi drove the chariot and suddenly turned back, circling around Mylou's corpse. Then, Bai Xiaowen pulled the reins again, and the chariot rushed west again, disappearing from everyone's sight.
…
In the central square of God Ptah's army, a huge carriage with exquisite carvings and a width of four to five meters advanced steadily on the undulating road.
The carriage was pulled by four tall horses, and there was a rather imposing throne on it. The army commander, the high priest of the Karnak Temple, Samet, was sitting lazily on the throne.
Two maids in tulle knelt beside the armrest of the throne, and there was a veil around the throne. The throne carriage was surrounded by a group of wolf-like personal guards. They drove the chariots to surround and protect Samat.
A lanky man in a white robe riding a horse quickly approached the throne, and the surrounding guards nimbly made way for him.
"Master, I'm back," the man in the white robe said respectfully.
"Nekh, have those two damned nomads been dealt with?" Samet asked.
"In accordance with master's will, they have been sent to see Osiris."
"Hmph, that's good. Those damned Hittites, stupid Muwatalis, actually sent people to spy on me! "Samet snorted.
"Master, the Hittites and we are enemies, so it is normal for them to be suspicious," the white-robed man, Nekh, said.
"Spying on me is one thing. The key is, what kind of trash did he send? They were all killed by a soldier who was born a hunter, and two of them were captured alive … Fortunately, I personally checked when I was patrolling the army, otherwise, it would have been troublesome. "
"Now, the plan is still proceeding smoothly, master."
Samet snorted and lay back on the throne, narrowing his eyes.
Suddenly, the commander of the fourth square, Zehu, rushed over and shouted through Samet's guards, "Lord Samet! There is an emergency, I want to see Lord Samet! "
"Let him come over," Samet said with a frown.
The chariots of the guards opened up a path, and Zehu quickly rode to the front of the throne.
"What's the matter?" Samet asked lazily.
"Lord, the chariot commander called Dior … and his deputy defected together!" Zehu said hurriedly. "They took away a chariot and killed an infantryman who tried to stop them … By the time I received the news, it was already too late."
Samet stood up abruptly, and the gold-engraved wine cup fell to the ground.
"What is this daring hunter trying to do?"
Nekh whispered, "Master, he may not have defected … but went to the Kaiser Stone City!"
Samet muttered, "How dare he …?"
"According to common sense, he wouldn't. But a soldier who dares to capture enemy cavalry alone and beat up his colleagues, the possibility of this is very high. He may have seen something and wanted to take a gamble. If he gambles correctly, he is likely to have a meteoric rise. "
"We can't let him run away like this!" Samet said in a serious tone, "Nekh, I order you to lead a square to capture Dior. How confident are you that you will succeed? "
Nekh hurriedly said, "Master, there is no need to mobilize an army to capture two fugitives. This is like using a fist to beat an ant. It is not as accurate and deadly as using a finger. I suggest … we should send Zalen and the others. "
Samet nodded. "What you said makes sense. Immediately inform Zalen that we must intercept that damned Dior and bring me his head! "
After giving this order, Samet thought for a moment and ordered again, "Send orders to the entire army to change their route. Turn right to the east … and head to the Sabuhuna Ferry! I want to enter the Kaiser Stone Battlefield! "
Nekh said in surprise, "Master, this is not in line with our plan."
"I understand," Samet said with a gloomy face. "It is this damned Dior who has disrupted my plan. I must be there personally. I cannot leave my fate to the stupid Hittites. "
… …
After Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi left Ptah's army, they took a big detour and headed east.
"The Hittite scout under my control is dead." Bai Xiaowen's body suddenly trembled.
"He was killed?"
"Should be. This confirms my thoughts. This is a problem unique to Samet. During wartime, two enemy scouts are more valuable alive than dead, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"Well … if he is dead, then he is dead. Don't worry about it, let's see what is in the treasure chest, "Li Shuyi said.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that killing an ordinary monster could also drop a treasure chest," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile as he weighed an ordinary treasure chest. Previously, he had reined in his horse and circled around Mai Lou. It was not to perform some strange curse ritual, nor was it to demonstrate his power or whip the corpse. It was because he had discovered that Mai Lou had dropped a treasure chest and had turned back to pick it up.
Bai Xiaowen was not as carefree as the three powerhouses who had cut off the Balrog's arm. They did not want the few drops of Balrog's bone marrow. After all, even a mosquito's leg was meat.
Treasure chests were invisible in the eyes of people in the spiritual world. That was why the infantrymen did not understand the meaning of Bai Xiaowen turning back.
The treasure chest was opened. It was rated E — there was only one chance to draw, and there was a two-thirds chance that it would be empty.
Bai Xiaowen obtained 70 points of psionic energy … It was better than nothing. He casually clicked on a loot card.
The card was flipped over. The first thing he saw was that it was not blank. Bai Xiaowen smiled.
Then, Bai Xiaowen received a notification. "You have obtained an equipment: Leather Boots."
This was a bound blue equipment. Its attributes were average, and neither of them could use it. However, since it was bound, it could at least be sold for some money.
"Good start," Li Shuyi said with a smile. Drawing a blue equipment from an ordinary treasure chest, and a bound blue equipment at that, no matter how one looked at it, was a small probability event. It was a great burst of luck.
On the contrary, Bai Xiaowen sighed. "It's over. What a waste of luck … According to the law of conservation of luck, this burst of luck has overdrawn my luck. I don't know how long it will take to recover …"
Li Shuyi rolled his eyes at Bai Xiaowen.
In any case, it was a good thing that they had obtained something.
"How do we get to Castile Stone City?" Li Shuyi asked.
