"If my guess is correct, Pharaoh Delos should have sneaked back to Memphis by this time."

"There, he will deliberately turn right and wrong into black and white, and describe everything that happened in Giza as a fierce conflict between a righteous god and an evil god. Those who witnessed that incident, those who could not understand the truth, were bewitched by the priest of Ra God People... will also think so, and thus become evidence for Pharaoh."

"Pharaoh will follow the will of the sun god Ra to promote the war between Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt, so as to erase the original truth that he betrayed his people and consumed thousands of lives to please the original."

"Thank you, I'm glad that the demigod under Seth can agree with me—"

"Yes, God Amon is now the same as God Seth, and has become an evil god in the mouth of the righteous gods..."

"No, I don't think God Amon will be honored by this."

"But on behalf of Amon, I hope to make a deal with God Seth. Within a year, the Numidian elephant soldiers will continue to march eastward and keep putting pressure on Lower Egypt..."

"Are you surprised that I would say such a thing? After all, you just said that I need the fear from the whole country to hope to continue my promotion."

"You see, you hesitated too—it was exactly as I expected. The god Seth drove the Numidian elephant soldiers into Egypt. After all, it was to fight the most elite border army of Egypt. Cause widespread chaos in the desert, so as to make Seth God's authority in the desert and chaos more stable. It is just a matter of passing that Amon's favored ones get the military power in Lower Egypt."

"But now the frontier army suddenly turned around and headed towards me in Upper Egypt. The Noms on the western border of Lower Egypt were unprotected. The Numidians mobilized their troops to launch a conquest, but failed to achieve their goal. Naturally, the god Seth did not satisfy……"

"Yes, I know that the god Seth is the one with the highest interests."

"right--"

"That's why I'm willing to pay the price for this condition!"

"I will take care of the safety of the few Nome civilians in the west by myself. God Seth will definitely not be satisfied with this aspect."

"Uh……"

"I am very glad that you are still willing to listen to my price despite being dissatisfied. The price I am willing to pay for this is: if God Seth launches a proxy war against the sun god Ra one day in the future, God Amon will serve as Seth Allies of God, join this war."

"Are you willing to accept on behalf of God Seth?"

"Don't you need to pray to the oracle of Seth?"

"Very well, then it's a deal."

"Uh..." In the Cave of the Swimmers, Erich negotiated the terms of the deal with God Seth in one go, and left with Senmut.

The two walked out of the cave together.It was already late at this time, the western sky was dyed rosy by the sunset glow, and the long desert in front of me looked extremely peaceful and gentle.

Senmut sighed.

Alicia knew what the other party was thinking without him having to speak.

"Do you also think that because I want to gain fear from all over Egypt, I am going to give up a few Nomes to the west, and let them be trampled and bullied by the Numidian elephant soldiers?"

Senmut pursed his lips lightly and did not speak.

Alicia went on talking to herself: "The army of Lower Egypt will soon reach the border of Upper Egypt. So I need a force from the west to put pressure on Pharaoh."

"East I also need-"

"So tonight I will go back and contact the Hittite prince Karsha and ask him to send troops on the eastern border. Of course, Karsha will also ask for a certain price, and I will satisfy him appropriately..."

When Senmut heard the name Kalsha, he should immediately think of the marriage proposal made by the Hittite regent prince to Erich, and frowned slightly.

"I hope that under this double pressure, Pharaoh can avoid putting the entire power of Lower Egypt on civil war—"

"As for the nomes in the west, the nomes facing the attack of elephant soldiers... Senmut, I hope you can go and transfer the Egyptians living there to here."

"here?"

Senmut raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This is the vast desert, the domain of authority of Seth, the god of desert and chaos.

"But, look—"

Erich and Senmut turned a bare rocky hill and pointed out to him what was in front of them.

Senmut's pair of pale golden eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise——

The lee behind this rocky mountain is no longer a barren wilderness.

Water vapor collectors made of wooden sticks and twine are set up here and there. Under the water vapor collectors, there are many drought-resistant plants suitable for growing in the desert, which are tenaciously surviving and multiplying.

Behind the water vapor collector is a newly built village, apparently to take care of the nearby water sources and crops.

The population size here has doubled compared to the small village last time, and people are carefully managing this settlement in the desert.

"The dream you planted in people's hearts back then..."

Senmut didn't expect to see such a scene at all, and was speechless for a while in surprise.

"Yes--"

When Alixi replied, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Occasionally, a few locals saw them, but they could only see the figure of Senmut, but not Erich's spirit body.

Most of them just glanced at Senmut, nodded in greeting from a distance, and then bent their backs and continued to work.

"The topography of the few Nomes in the west is similar to that of this place. Moving them here will allow the people here to change their living environment faster."

"Besides, this is the area of ​​authority of God Seth. Since He tolerated these people to transform the desert, he should not refuse me to add more people to His land and stabilize His foundation—"

Senmut thought for a while and decided it made sense, looked into Erich's eyes and said, "You seem to have changed your attitude towards God Seth?"

The corners of Alicia's lips raised immediately, and she gave the man a smile without extra emotion: "Coincidentally, I am also an interest supremacist."

Senmut is the person who understands her best in this world, so of course she understands her insincerity——

If Erich's interests were really paramount, she would not have rescued the Egyptian civilians in Nome to the west from the elephants from Numidia and placed them in other places.

"By the way, you want to move all the people from Nome in the west here, can you?"

Erich asked Sen Mut beside her, "The newly promoted Mut demigod?"

She was aggressive and joking, but Senmuth was deadly serious.

Tiny golden symbols flickered across his eyes, as if he were choosing from thousands of options that he could do.

"After possessing a demigod, I can use more spells recorded in ancient books."

After feeling the trust in Erich's eyes, Senmut's confidence doubled immediately.

"I have 27 ways to bring them in... well, I'll play it by ear and see what's going on locally!"

Lower Egypt, No.40 Nome.

Gilconda, the capital of Nome, is located on the only way from Numidia to the Fayoum Oasis in the west.

Ever since the news of the invasion of Numidian elephant soldiers came from the villages on the western frontier, the Gilcondas had been in constant panic.

What hit them even more was that Pharaoh had ordered the border troops to come to help defend against the elephant soldiers.But they looked left and right, but there was no sign of half of the frontier army.

After finally looking forward to the arrival of the messenger, the Jilkonda people heard that the frontier army was going to fight the Egyptian civil war on behalf of the pharaoh, so they would not come.

This was a more fatal blow than the attack of the elephant soldiers, and all the Kirkondas were in despair.

"Without a frontier army with cavalry, how can Jilkonda defend the city with just this little wall?"

Gilconda said there was a city wall, but it was more like a village of a slightly higher level. The outside of the village was built with earthen walls that were usually used to guard against thieves, and they were not all connected.

When the Numidian elephant soldiers came here, they didn't even need to attack the city, as long as they drove the elephants on a rampage, they could break this poor city.

"Then... how about we surrender?"

"The other party is the Numidians. Even if we surrender, they will drive the elephant soldiers to trample our homes, take away our meager food and wealth, kill grown men, and kill women and children. Robbed..."

"People who escaped from those villages on the border say so..."

It's all hopeless now.

The Jilkondas seemed to have all been lying on the knife's edge while waiting for the elephant soldiers to arrive.

That day, they hid behind the earthen wall used for defense, heard the sound of a huge elephant's feet hitting the ground in the distance, and saw a cloud of smoke rising from the desert.

"Great sun god Ra, please bless your humble and insignificant believers, so that we will not die too painfully..."

"Great god of the underworld Osiris, I hope to have the opportunity to see my family and relatives after death, so that my soul will not be too lonely..."

Prayers came and went, but people's voices became more and more desperate.After all no matter how much they pray, people never get an answer.

Only the enemy is getting closer.

That is the most feared Numidian elephant soldier in the legend.

With the whining of horns in the distance, the frequency of the huge elephant feet hitting the ground increased rapidly.

The gigantic monsters with warriors on their necks appeared in front of the Jilkondars with unimaginable speed.

Those huge curved snow-white fangs protruded forward, elephant ears bigger than a millstone kept flapping, soldiers dressed in alien costumes on their huge bodies...

Every detail from the Numidian elephant soldiers can be clearly seen by the Gilcondas.

"Great God, I finally understand one thing - when we poor ordinary people need salvation the most, you are always absent -"

A thin and thin young Gilconda held a sharp-pointed short spear tightly in his hand, leaning his back against the earth wall that was crumbling under the tremors of the earth, talking to himself.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, hearing the approaching elephant footsteps, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

At this moment, the eyes of the young Gilconda blurred.

He saw a huge hand suddenly appearing in the sky in front of him——

The young man froze for a moment, turning a deaf ear to the elephant soldiers who were almost behind him.

Like the other Gilcondas around him, he watched as a papyrus scroll unfolded and fell from the giant's hand in the air.

On that scroll, Jilkonda's appearance was swayed very quickly, the shabby earthen walls, the narrow but clean roads, the unremarkable houses... and the people in this city, everyone.

When the Numidian elephant soldiers rushed towards the city and were about to crush it, the papyrus scroll in the air suddenly rolled up——

The Jilkonda city in front of Xiang Bing's eyes was like a picture scroll that was taken away in an instant, completely disappearing from his eyes.

Shocked, the elephant soldiers quickly stopped the war elephant, which had suddenly lost its direction of impact.

At this moment, in front of them, there was only a vast desert, the terrain was flat, the scene was boring, and there was no human habitation.
