The man with the nose ring spoke passionately, but it was of no use. Bai Xiaowen did not even want to pay attention to him.
Pharaoh Ramses raised his hand, and the discussion in the crowd stopped abruptly. He looked at Bai Xiaowen and asked, "Where did you get the head of that Hittite?"
"About thirty miles south of the Bella Valley," Bai Xiaowen said.
These words caused another round of exclamations. The Hittites had actually sneaked to a place only thirty miles away from the Pharaoh? This was within reach, and the Pharaoh was facing danger at all times.
"I believe your information," Pharaoh Ramses said in a deep voice. "It seems that the two Bedouin nomads who surrendered to us were Hittite spies. They took the initiative to surrender to us to provide false information. Sang Pu! Go and tie those two up. "
Sang Pu was the man with the golden nose ring. He acknowledged the order, bowed, and retreated.
"All of you, step back two hundred steps." Ramses looked around at the Egyptian nobles and generals.
"But your safety …"
"Only these two people can't kill me. I'm the incarnation of God Amon on earth!" Pharaoh Ramses's words were full of confidence. "And my personal guards are enough to ensure my safety. All of you, step back. I'll have a good chat with these two people. "
After a series of footsteps, only Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and the Pharaoh were left facing each other. As for the Pharaoh's personal guards, they were absolutely loyal to him. It was impossible for them to leak information, so they could be treated as if they did not exist.
"Your performance surprised me. Sang Puti told me that the Hittite's status was not low. He was at least the commander of a thousand-man team! How did you manage to kill him with just the two of you? "Ramses asked." Where exactly are you from? Ordinary soldiers would never have been able to do this. "
Bai Xiaowen had done his homework before he was matched to the ancient Egyptian plane.
"We are from the Memphis Temple. We are believers of the great Serapis. We enlisted as hunters."
"Serapis the Bull?" Ramses sized up Bai Xiaowen and Selina again. Since when did the believers of the Memphis Temple have such strong combat power?
However, Bai Xiaowen explained his background. The Pharaoh continued asking.
"Why did High Priest Samat use the Divine Temple's decree to declare you all traitors?"
This was the main point.
Bai Xiaowen replied, "Because Commander Samat did not want us to inform you of the Hittites' conspiracy."
Seeing Ramses frown, Bai Xiaowen continued to add fuel to the fire. "After I caught the two Hittite scouts and found out about the Hittite conspiracy, I immediately reported it to Lord Samet. His response was not to send a messenger to warn you, but to seal the news and take the two Hittite captives away. Not long after, the great Serapis told me that the two Hittite prisoners had been secretly executed by Lord Samet … "
"My companions and I were worried about the Pharaoh's safety, so we chose to leave the army and cross the river. But before we crossed the Oronte River, we were intercepted by a mysterious and powerful assassin. "
What Bai Xiaowen said was the truth, but he had vaguely included some words that did not have an obvious bias.
In fact, there was no need for Bai Xiaowen to hint like this. Ramses quickly judged the situation.
"What a restless brother … Fortunately, I did not trust him unreservedly. What is your name? "
"My name is Dior, the great Pharaoh."
Samet was actually Ramses' younger brother. Bai Xiaowen felt that this was both unexpected and reasonable. It was not without reason that Samet was in a high position at such a young age.
"Dior, I admire your courage and wisdom. This time, I was too trusting. You corrected my mistake and made a great contribution," Ramses said. "Be loyal to me, and I will give you everything you want."
The rules of the Spiritual World prompted:
"Due to Ramses II's acceptance, you have returned to the ancient Egyptian camp, and the hostile relationship has been dissolved."
"Your reputation in the ancient Egyptian camp has greatly increased. Current reputation level: Respected."
"You have received an additional reward of 1,500 merit points."
"The favorability of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II has increased. Current favorability level: Acquaintance."
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi quietly looked at each other, both feeling excited. This time, they had destroyed a Hittite military camp and killed a Hittite general who commanded 1,500 people. The final reward was quite generous.
The reputation and additional rewards of merit points were secondary. As the pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Ramses's favorability was really hard to come by.
It could be seen that sometimes, even if there was no Spiritual World mission, the Awakened would take the initiative and make corresponding contributions to the camp. In the end, they would receive something similar to the mission reward.
Of course, if possible, it was better to accept the mission and complete it. There would be individual combat experience and team experience as rewards.
"What do you think we should do now?"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "Great pharaoh, please forgive me for being blunt, but Lord Samet is no longer trustworthy. We also have to guard against the betrayal of the Ptah legion. You should send a messenger now and inform the other two legions to come to your side. You can lead the Amon legion to retreat. As long as the three legions gather, we can fight a head-on battle with the Hittites. "
Ramses said, "Samet will not dare to point his spear at me openly. The soldiers of the Ptah legion will not follow him to rebel and kill the pharaoh. I know my brother very well. His plan is to use the Hittites to kill me. He will return to the country in the name of revenge and rightfully inherit my throne. "
"If Samet openly betrays Egypt, he will be cursed for eternity. My prime minister and ministers will avenge me, and it will be even more impossible for him to sit on the pharaoh's throne."
"If I am defeated and flee, Samet may bring his trusted guards to secretly kill me, but it is impossible for the entire Ptah legion to betray me."
At this point, Ramses said, "I do not intend to retreat. The other two Hittite legions have not arrived yet. I want to attack the Khleb legion in advance and open up the north-south road! Dior, I hope that you and your companions can go to the Lai legion and the Seth legion respectively and send an urgent message to them so that they can rush north. I want to fight a decisive battle with the Hittites under the city of Kadesh! "
The Lai legion and the Seth legion were the names of the other two Egyptian legions. The Egyptians liked to use the names of their gods as the names of their legions, believing that they could obtain the blessings of the gods and win every battle.
Bai Xiaowen received a prompt for the elite side mission: Messenger. The difficulty of the messenger mission was C-level.
"A C-level elite mission …"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
"Great Pharaoh, please allow me to refuse this mission. My companions and I will stay by your side until you are safe! "Bai Xiaowen said sternly.
Pharaoh Ramses frowned and said, "If you really intend to help me win this war, then you should listen to my orders!"
"No, the outcome of this war is not important to me. What's important is the safety of the Pharaoh. The order I received from the Memphis Temple is to protect the safety of the Pharaoh at all costs, "Bai Xiaowen said calmly." Even the younger brother of the Pharaoh is disloyal, and I can't trust the guards around the Pharaoh. Please let us stay by your side and protect you through this war. "
Pharaoh Ramses pondered for a moment.
"It's good that you don't want to deliver the letter and want to stay by my side. But in the coming war, I will give you more dangerous missions. When necessary, you will even need to charge and break through the enemy's defense line! Can you do that and obey my orders? "
Letting these two warriors in front of him deliver the letter … seemed to be a bit of a waste. After all, these two were heroes who could break into the camp alone and kill the Hittite generals. If they were on the battlefield, they should be able to play a greater role. This was what Ramses II thought.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Of course."
The rules of the spiritual realm prompted him again:
[Hero Side Mission: The Return of the Pharaoh, activated.]
[Mission Objective: Protect Ramses II until he returns to the Amur Fortress or attacks the Kadi Stone City.]
[Mission Duration: None (equivalent to the remaining time you stay in this plane).]
[Mission Difficulty: C]
[Mission Reward: Unknown.]
Hearing this mission prompt, Bai Xiaowen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, you have just experienced a fierce battle. Now go and rest. The attack on the Hittites on the southern road will be launched at dawn. " After Ramses II finished speaking, he motioned for the Egyptian nobles and the generals of the Amun legion to come over for a pre-war meeting.
Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen walked side by side to a secluded corner of the valley and sat down cross-legged to rest.
Li Shuyi asked in the team channel, "Why did you think of rejecting the messenger mission just now? It's strange that a hero mission popped up after that. Was this all part of your plan? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't reject a mission from a final boss like Ramses. The reason why I didn't accept the messenger mission was that I didn't want to be far away from the main battlefield. I'm worried … If we leave, Ramses II might die in battle! "
Once Ramses II died in battle, everything Bai Xiaowen had done to create a favorable impression would be useless. His plan to borrow Ramses II's power to investigate the Silent Tongue would also be aborted.
Therefore, the Pharaoh absolutely could not die, at least not before Bai Xiaowen investigated the Silent Tongue.
"Why are you worried? You said that Ramses II was a hero of his generation and lived until he was over ninety years old … "
"That's just history, and this is the spiritual realm. Let's not talk about all kinds of accidents, just that Zalen … We have to pay attention to him. Think about it, there are more than one powerful Awakened who want to use this opportunity to kill Ramses for huge benefits … How dangerous is this? If I don't do anything about it, he will really die. "
Li Shuyi nodded.
Looking at Ramses and the others who were holding a pre-battle meeting beside the huge bonfire, Li Shuyi said softly, "They actually excluded you … It's a pity. If you were to command this battle, I think the Egyptian army's chances of winning would have increased by at least thirty percent. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "After all, we are new faces who have just taken off the hat of traitors. It's reasonable that they don't let us participate in this kind of military secret. In addition, I actually don't want the Egyptian army to win a total victory and take down the Stone City of Kadi. This is very detrimental to my follow-up plan … "
… …
In the latter half of the night, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi followed the Amon army and quietly set off. They went all the way to the southern road, where the Hittite Kingdom's Khhab army was lying in ambush.
In fact, this was not a successful surprise attack. After Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's attack, the Khhab army had realized that the Egyptian army could invade at any time and had set up more stringent sentries.
At dawn, the sentries of the Khhab army discovered the Egyptian army in advance. Although the sentries were shot to death one by one, they still blew the magic stone whistle, and the shrill alarm spread through the dark wilderness.
The Hittites quickly reorganized their army. Groups of Hittite cavalry rushed out of the camp and collided with the Egyptian army in the wilderness of West Asia. For a time, there were shouts of killing, and blood splattered, adding a thick bloody color to the night.
Although Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's health points and mental strength had been restored to full, they were not in their best condition. Half of Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures were dead, and several of Li Shuyi's equipment skills were on cooldown.
Under such circumstances, the two of them chose to keep a low profile. Of course, this kind of low-profile was relative. They just did not want to find trouble with their leaders. Instead, they targeted the elite Hittite officers.
In particular, Bai Xiaowen took advantage of the advantage of long-range attacks. When he saw an elite Hittite officer with low health points, he would kill him with a shot. Regardless of whether he killed him or not, he would still get the soul essence. If he could get one or two treasure chests, it would be even better.
Looking at the battlefield where 20,000 people were fighting, Bai Xiaowen secretly sighed. In a battlefield with such a large number of people, even if one's individual strength reached the top of the awakened ones, they would not dare to act recklessly. This was the difficulty of large-scale war. If the ancient Egyptian plane was already like this, then the more widespread ancient Hua Xia plane would be even more terrifying. The difficulty was even more terrifying.
Although Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had killed many elite Hittite officers, their impact on the outcome of a battlefield of 10,000 people was still too small. The two sides fought fiercely from dawn until early morning, but there was no clear winner.
The Amon legion led by the Pharaoh was, of course, more powerful, but the Hittites had the advantage of superior equipment. Although the Khleb legion was gradually suppressed, the desperate counterattack of the slave soldiers also caused heavy losses to the Amon legion.
Bai Xiaowen quietly glanced at Ramses, who was on the golden chariot not far away. The Pharaoh did not even blink. He calmly looked at the battlefield full of corpses and watched his soldiers fall like grass. Perhaps this was the true nature of a king of a generation. Fame and great deeds were cast on the bones.
Woo woo …
