"You …?"
Clearly, Cleopatra had hit Ptolemy XIII's soft spot. Even though he was calm, he was still shocked speechless when he heard that Alexandria had fallen. Bang!
The letter was fake! Alexandria had fallen! Ptolemy XIII instantly realized that he had been played by Cleopatra, and he did not know it at all!
After all, according to the information provided in the letter, Cleopatra's troops had always been near Cairo. Although Ptolemy XIII was surprised when he saw Cairo being surrounded, he didn't panic. But now, he finally woke up from his shock.
When Cleopatra revealed the truth, Ptolemy XIII felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. At the same time, anger rose violently in his heart. At this time, he had completely lost his composure, let alone talk about the demeanor of a royal family.
"Detestable Cleopatra, I'll kill you with my own hands …?"
Ptolemy XIII did not care about the reactions of the people around him as he gritted his teeth.
In fact, Ptolemy XIII's reaction at this time was equivalent to admitting everything that Cleopatra had said. There was an inevitable commotion among the soldiers in Cairo, and this commotion quickly spread through the whispers between the soldiers.
"Cleopatra, you've always done despicable things. Now, do you dare to fight me fair and square?"
Ptolemy XIII solemnly unsheathed the golden sword at his waist and pointed the tip at Cleopatra outside the city gate.
Although Ptolemy XIII was angry and shocked, he did not completely lose his mind. He could still draw his golden sword and point it at Cleopatra. This was the wisest choice he could make at this time.
It was the rule of the royal family and nobles in Egypt. As long as one side drew their sword and pointed it at the other, it meant an official challenge. If the other side accepted, then so be it. It would be a duel, regardless of casualties.
If the other side did not accept, then the other side would have to take the initiative to avoid the challenge for a month!
Of course, if Ptolemy XIII himself asked for a duel, it would be fine if he won. At most, he would be considered wise enough to defeat a strong enemy with his own strength.
Similarly, if he were to lose, even if he managed to survive in the end, he would lose all his assets and would no longer receive the support of others!
Such a rule was only an unspoken rule. It did exist in the history of Egyptian civilization, but it was not necessary to follow it under certain circumstances, such as the current situation. Cleopatra could just pretend that she did not hear anything and lead her army straight into Cairo.
But in that case. Cleopatra's reputation would be greatly affected, even if Cleopatra eventually wiped out Ptolemy XIII's troops. After successfully taking back the throne, the credibility of the people would definitely be affected. This was something that Yang Rui, as a player from the Three Kingdoms Civilization region, could not understand.
"My poor Ptolemy, my poor brother. As a woman, it's not a big problem for me to reject your challenge, but I've decided to give you a chance. At the same time, I'm ashamed that you're challenging a woman to a fight!
Come, let the emissary of the gods, Queen Cleopatra, end your pathetic life. Freed from your fatuous control, the kingdom will be rejuvenated …? … "
No matter which civilization region it was, duels were nothing special. What was surprising was that Cleopatra accepted Ptolemy XIII's challenge so easily. Yang Rui and the others were also surprised when they saw this scene.
"Hah!"
"Ah!"
"Ping Ping? …"
The moment Cleopatra accepted the challenge, a virtual duel platform appeared in front of the city gate and the dome. This kind of duel had a fixed pattern!
Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII were sucked into the platform almost at the same time. The two of them were destined to be enemies on a narrow road, so they fought almost as soon as they entered the platform.
Yang Rui and the others were very surprised when they saw this scene. The Egyptian version of a duel was played out just like that. If they were lucky enough to force Ptolemy XIII into a desperate situation, then Cleopatra's actions were completely out of their expectations!
"Hah!"
"Ah!"
"Ping Ping? …"
In the Virtual Battle Arena, a pair of opponents and foes met each other with big moves as soon as they made their moves. The two of them each held a strange weapon in their hands. Divine power extended from their hands and beams of light that were like laser swords collided and intertwined with each other, producing a metallic sound.
Yang Rui and the others were not the only ones surprised. As soon as the duel began, even the NPCs and players in the Egyptian civilization region were surprised. The Egyptian civilization also belonged to the Divine Power Summoning System. Ordinary skills could be used to summon divine power instantaneously, but powerful skills would require a spell to summon the divine power.
However, the two people in front of them did not seem to be affected by this. They were definitely not using ordinary skills, but they did not use any spells.
Even the NPCs and players in the Egyptian civilization region did not understand what was going on. The skills used by Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII and their use of divine power were beyond the scope of their knowledge. It was inevitable that the NPCs would think more about it. Were these two people really blessed by the gods?
Yang Rui and the others could not understand it either. Just like everyone else, they did not understand what was going on.
Yang Rui had a detailed understanding of the basic method of using divine power in the Egyptian civilization region. At the same time, Yang Rui had also carefully sensed the form of the divine power. He was sure that Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII were using divine power to fight, but he could not find the source of the divine power. It was as if the divine power had been stored in a certain part of their body in advance. It was much faster than using inner force!
The divine power was used to attack, but the process of summoning divine power could not be seen at all. It was no wonder that everyone was puzzled.
"Hah!"
"Ah …? …"
“...?...”
“...?... Despicable woman, when did you learn the Divine Grace Sacrificial Art? And you're so familiar with it?! "
