I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 419 Suez Canal Needs River Engineers

Losing the city of Bubastis, the only city controlled by the Hyksos in Egypt itself was Avaris.

When Roy and Nafir left the Aries Legion to manage the city of Bubastis and wanted to take the city of Avaris with an army of [-], Andromeda took [-] Hyksos Sri Lankan soldiers stood in front of the army.

Roy came to Andromeda himself on horseback, ready to negotiate with Andromeda.

Before Roy could speak, Andromeda complained first.

"Didn't you say that you would help us avoid war? Now that you are attacking us with the Egyptians, are you telling me lies?"

"Andromeda, I really want to stop the war between the Egyptians and the Hyksos."

Roy explained helplessly.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't fulfill my request."

Roy's words left Andromeda speechless.

Because Andromeda did not complete the transformation of the Hyksos.

"Loy, I need time. The transformation of the Hyksos cannot be done overnight. As long as you give me enough time, I can turn them into citizens of the Athenian Empire."

"How long do you want me to give you? One month? Half a year? Or a year or two?"

Roy couldn't help but shook his head and said.

"I believe that given you enough time, you can indeed convince the Hyksos, but I don't have so much time to waste on you. Just let the Egyptians put the knife on the neck of the Hyksos, Hyksos The Soth people can become what I want in no time."

"Loy... Didn't you expect me to transform the Hyksos from the very beginning?"

"Andromeda, of course I have hope in you. If you can persuade the Hyksos to transform within three to five days like a miracle, I will definitely stop this war Happened, but unfortunately you did not create a miracle in the end."

Roy said with a serious face.

"Next the Egyptians will conquer the Hyksos and degrade all the Hyksos into slaves. But you can rest assured that I will not make your people slaves for life. As long as they dig a canal in the Isthmus of Suez for five years , I will set them free again.

The Isthmus of Suez, between mainland Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula, is a geological fault between the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea, the cause of which is unknown.

About 300 million years ago in the middle of the Pliocene, the Mediterranean Sea submerged the Isthmus of Suez and connected with the Indian Ocean.

Later, as a result of the crustal uplift in the eastern part of the Nile Delta, the Isthmus of Suez rose above the ground, blocking the connection between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

In another world, the Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, providing the closest route from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean.

It is one of the most frequently used routes in the world, and it is also the main channel between Asia, Africa and Europe.

After Roy conquered Egypt, opening the Suez Canal was one of Roy's main goals.

The Hyksos, Phoenicians, and Illuminati who were conquered by the Egyptians were undoubtedly the best source of canal workers.

"You want to make us Hyksos into slaves?"

Seeing Andromeda's widened eyes in shock, Roy nodded and said.

"The Hyksos have enslaved the northern Egyptians for more than 100 years. I just let the Hyksos dig the canal for five years, which is already very kind to you."

"But you are not Egyptian."

Andromeda said angrily.

"What does it matter to you that we Hyksos enslave the Egyptians?"

At this moment, Nafel came to Roy on horseback and said.

"Loy is my husband, the king who rules over all the Egyptians, and of course he is qualified to punish the Hyksos on behalf of the Egyptians."

Facing Nafer, the queen of Egypt, Andromeda obviously lacked confidence.

This is not only because Nafir is stronger than Andromeda, but also because Nafir is qualified to take revenge on the Hyksos.

Seeing Andromeda quiet down, Roy persuaded her.

"Andromeda, if you don't want to be reduced to slave-maid by me, don't hinder me anymore. Although I will reduce the Hyksos to slaves, you are still my woman, and your parents You will receive preferential treatment. If you continue to be disobedient, not only will you be reduced to a slave maid by me, but your parents will also be reduced to slaves by me. At that time, your father will go to dig canals with other men, and your mother will go to work with other men. Women work together as weaving slaves."

Hearing Roy's threat, Andromeda immediately trembled with fright.

Because she knew Roy wasn't threatening her.

After Andromeda lowered his head, Roy looked at Nafiel and said.

"Nafel, let's continue on our way!"

Avaris City.

When Roy and Nafir came here with an army of [-], the city of Avaris had become an undefended city.

Because Phineus and the nobles took more than half of the Hyksos soldiers with them when they migrated.

Now there are only [-] Hyksos and [-] Egyptian soldiers left in Avaris.

It is obviously impossible for Egyptian soldiers to fight desperately to defend the rule of the Hyksos, and two thousand Hyksos soldiers will not be crazy enough to want to fight against an army of one hundred thousand.

At the same time that the Egyptian soldiers of Nafir took over the city of Avaris, the goddess Sekhmet also descended on the city of Avaris.

Because the current patron saint of Avaris City, Set [Zeus], ​​was driven away, Avaris City is likely to become her territory.

"Sekhmet!"

When the goddess Sekhmet wanted to enter the city of Avaris, Seth [Zeus] appeared over the city of Avaris and issued a warning voice to Sekhmet.

"Zeus!"

Seeing Seth [Zeus]'s face full of anger, Sekhmet joked.

"At this time, you still want to stop me? If you don't want to lose the city of Avaris, why don't you resist? It seems that the battle with Amon a few months ago really hurt you, so you have It hasn't recovered yet."

Seth [Zeus] said angrily.

"Don't be complacent! My darling Phineus has become the new King of Hyksos. He will lead the nobles of the Hyksos to conquer a new territory and let me re-ascend to the throne of the patron saint. Wait When the Hyksos grow strong again, I will once again conquer the land of Egypt and your Egyptian gods."

As soon as Seth [Zeus] finished speaking, Roy entered the Temple of Seth [Zeus] in Avaris City, and personally pushed the statue of Seth [Zeus] to the ground.

As the statue shattered and collapsed, not only Seth [Zeus] lost his identity as the patron saint of Avaris City, but also the temples belonging to Seth [Zeus] collapsed and disappeared above Avaris City.

"Loy—you damn human, I remember this shame."

With an angry roar, Seth [Zeus] left Egypt.

And in the future, he will no longer use the identity of the native Egyptian god Seth, but completely restore the identity of Zeus.

Not only Zeus, but also Pta, the native Egyptian god, now Hephaestus, also left with Zeus.

The Almighty God worshiped by the Illuminati and the sun god Ra served by the Ramses family did not leave.
