People are in the moon, The Sims - #119 - Chapter 119

The territory of southern Egypt has also changed frequently, and the area along the southern Nile River has always been a territory contested by both parties.

During the period of Egypt’s decline, the Nubians took away half of Egypt’s territory and even established their own dynasty. After that, the conflict between the two sides became difficult to adjust, unless a strong outsider brought the two together. To put it bluntly, under the rule of a strong third party, when the two are in the same position, there will be some relative peace.

It is speculated that the reasons for the initial conflict between the two sides were, on the one hand, the competition for fertile land, and on the other hand, the fact that the Nubians are black. The difference in skin color will always be one of the triggers. After all, in the eyes of both parties, it is not Those who are one of our own and not from our clan will have different minds.

Although the desert scenery is monotonous, fortunately, this road mainly proceeds along various towns and waterways. Although there are no dense and endless forests, there is definitely a lot of green.

When the Pharaoh’s team passed by a town, a man wearing a white linen cloak took a deep look at the team, then quickly turned around and disappeared into the crowd. If you look carefully, you will find that this man is exposed. The little skin on the outside is black, and it is obvious that this person is a Nubian.

When the pharaoh’s troops left the city, the Nubian man let go of the doves in his arms.

When the sun sets and night comes in the desert, the body temperature in the desert begins to drop rapidly. Several bonfires are lit, but on top of the bonfires are white tents covered with sand. At first glance, they look like sand dunes in the desert. Generally, the dense gravel also blocks the light brought by the flames through the cloth.

As long as the entrance and exit tent is placed with its back to the city and roads, no one will notice that a bonfire is lit in the desert and people gather here.

One of the people raised his hand to catch the flying pigeon, and then took out the information from the bamboo tube hanging on the pigeon’s feet.

“The Pharaoh of Egypt has indeed taken action. Be prepared. We are going to send him on his way when he is happiest. Now call everyone to the temple. Let the temple become the burial place of this pharaoh – he also brought There are so many princes, so let’s catch them all in one go.”

Subsequently, this man released more doves. These doves will fly to various places to gather all the Nubians who want to take action. By then, they will form a small army. At that time, they will have the power to attack the Pharaoh. The strength, not to mention their purpose is not to kill everyone, just to kill the pharaoh.

In their view, as long as this pharaoh dies, the prosperous age created by this pharaoh will also end.

Chapter 414: Attack on the lake

The temples of this era have not been slowly worn away by time and wind and sand. The sunlight refracted by the lake reflects on the four huge statues. The statues are also painted with bright colors and some gold is dotted on them. They are not made of loess. The colors do not feel like a civilization has become lonely in the years. This brightness is proof of brilliance. This is another peak that is difficult to surpass in Egypt.

Looking at the temple in front of him, Ramses II had a very happy expression on his face. It was rare for the pharaoh to smile as boldly as he did when he was young, “Hahahahaha… cough cough Cough!….Hahahahaha——!!”

It’s because he’s getting older and can’t finish laughing in one breath. Time is not forgiving, and it’s often time that defeats a hero. Now, even if Ramses II wants to fight on the battlefield again, he is a little unable to do so. , even if he thinks his body is okay, in this era, an old man of his age may not be able to see tomorrow at any time.

However, it is a blessing to be able to see this temple that is unique to me, that can allow me to bathe in the sunshine and prove that I am the sun, and that it can be completed while I am alive.

That is, when everyone came here, the sunlight that was supposed to shine into the depths of the temple at a fixed time began to shift at this moment, and a beam of sunlight directly shined into the depths of the temple.

Regarding this moment of miracle, Ramesses II’s smile became brighter. Isn’t this the recognition of himself by God and the sun?

Saitum raised his head and looked at the sky. The originally dazzling sun seemed to have become a little softer, like a benevolent eye staring at the earth. It always seemed that this benevolent eye was using a kind-hearted expression. His eyes were fixed on him, a gaze that his cheap father, Ramses II, had never given him.

After all, no matter how you say that in the eyes of this pharaoh, you are a child whose blood is not so pure, the strange sight of your birth day, and this appearance of yourself… For the Egyptian royal family who value blood, Sai Tum is inferior after all.

After all, Ramesses II did not let his children other than his legitimate son follow him into the temple. There was simply a lake nearby, and there were golden reeds in the lake, swaying gently in the early autumn breeze.

There are already many other princes around who are discussing going to the reed marsh in the lake and having some fun. Their classes in the palace are usually very complicated, so this is a rare time to relax.

Soon one wooden boat set off from the lake, and the usually serious princes finally showed their innocent side, and for a while they actually started a water fight on the lake.

Saitum held the oar in his hand and sat quietly on the boat. It was no surprise that he was excluded, but Saitum was also happy and comfortable. He just tried to integrate into this small group, but he couldn’t do it. .

Just lying lazily on the boat, basking in the sun and feeling the gentle waves of the lake, this kind of pleasant time is more comfortable than life in the palace.

At the same time, among the layers of reeds, several straws made of reeds were hidden among the reeds. The Nubians were hidden under the water in the reeds. The dense reeds covered these Nubians. The shadows of the human figures and the reeds also made their black skin blend into it even more.

With a gust of wind, the reeds swayed slowly, and several Nubians stood up, holding a short wooden tube in their hands, and finally stuffed the poison-coated bone needle into their short tube. Among them, he then began to target the royal children who were playing in the water, and then the bone poisonous needles were blown out by these people.

“ah–!!”

One of the boys who was playing in the water let out a cry of pain, then turned his head and touched his butt, and the next moment he pulled out the poisonous needle from his butt.

“This is?”

Looking at the bone needles with a bit of black blood, the boy’s head began to feel slightly dizzy. The companions on the side quickly supported the boy and asked what was going on, but before he could figure out what happened, Whatever happened, I felt a burst of pain in my body. I touched my thigh and pulled out a bone needle that had pierced my body.

The blood at the wound quickly turned black, and a breath of death began to spread outwards. It was obvious that there were some curses on these items made of bones.

Where is this? This is Egypt, one of the four ancient civilizations! There was already a civilized country in the distant past, and it was also one of the earliest countries where magic developed. Magic here is mysterious and ancient, and it is not difficult to apply a death-like curse poison to bone products.

The Nubians have been entangled with the Egyptians for thousands of years, and some Egyptian magic has naturally fallen into the hands of these Nubians. Even over time, the magic has become different from the original magic, incorporating unique Nubian beliefs.

Therefore, even if the Egyptians want to completely eliminate it, it will take some time, but as the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy. The two sides have been dealing with each other for thousands of years, and the Egyptians are very interested in Nubia. The people are also familiar.

Marks like black threads quickly spread outward from the wound like a spider web. A mouthful of blood spat out, and the two boys on the boat fell directly into the lake. This series of actions took place in just a few seconds. , and the sound of falling water also attracted everyone’s attention.

For a time, the royal children and grandchildren on the lake fell into chaos. After all, compared to the royal children who had already grown up and completed their studies, these children playing on the water were still too young. The movement on the lake naturally aroused the attention of the soldiers on the shore. Notice, even these soldiers were more surprised than anyone else.

You must know that this is about to be the foothold of the Pharaoh. There were soldiers patrolling here as early as two days ago. In other words, if someone is ambushing here to attack, they have been soaked in the water for two days. Even if they can use magic To defend yourself, staying underwater for so long is also painful.

This group of Nubians really worked hard to end Egypt’s glory.

At this time, other people on the lake were rowing desperately toward the shore, and the soldiers on the shore also began to quickly search for traces of the enemy.

Even Saitum, who was lying on the boat, suddenly sat up, and then keenly caught a bone needle and fired it in the direction of himself.

Chapter 415: Is there someone above me?

Saitum was different from these children. He had long known that while taking on his father’s love, he would also cause some trouble. After his body began to grow, he began to use some of the skills in his memory and the martial arts that Moses invited for him. Use the techniques taught by teachers to explore your own martial arts.

What’s more, Egypt itself is a country that advocates war. If you are a royal child and have not made any military exploits, you will basically not be recognized by others even if you become a pharaoh. If you ascend the throne at a young age, you must make achievements after you ascend the throne. Make great achievements in battle, otherwise you will be despised by other pharaohs.

Because the first pharaoh on this land used his own strength to conquer the unified Upper and Lower Egypt. To this day, his image is still engraved on the inscription, holding a scimitar and carrying the enemy’s head.

Saitum never intended to be an “idler” in the palace, although according to his status as a prince, he was enough to be mummified and buried properly after his death.

But when I think of the other selves in my memory, the competitiveness in my heart is aroused again. I can’t be an unknown person who won’t even leave my name, right?

Therefore, after seeing the bone needle launched towards him, Saitum subconsciously picked up the oar next to him. As an item used by the royal family, this oar was covered with gems and even covered with a layer of gold. , there is no problem in blocking such a being that is launched as a hidden weapon. After all, this is metal.

The oar in his hand moved forward quickly, and the cursed bone needle was directly pulled aside by the oar that shone with golden light in the sun.

Then he touched his feet with his other hand, and a string of hieroglyphics quickly slid across his ankles, like gold inlaid on his skin. This was a simple Egyptian magic to avoid water, although he couldn’t If you learn too advanced magic like those pure princes, then there is still no problem with these magic.

What’s more, the one who taught him magic was Moses, who was much better than those ordinary magic teachers.

The Nubians had already stood up from the lake, but they were still hiding in the dense reeds. It was not Saitum’s character to be passively defensive. The next thing to do was to take the initiative and move the boat in his hand. He picked up the oar and then scratched a hieroglyphic character on the top of the oar, making the tip of the entire golden oar as sharp as a blade.

It can be regarded as a spear or a staff. Of course, it is not a specially made weapon after all. There must be some inconveniences, such as the handle being a bit thick.

He bent his knees and exerted force, then ejected directly outwards, and then quickly ran on the lake with his feet. The water-avoiding magic could barely create a place where he could step on, but this magic did not allow people to truly keep walking. Standing on the water and moving quickly are the basis to ensure that you will not sink into the lake.

Even now it feels like stepping on a plank on the water.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as you are familiar with the small wooden boat, there is not much difference between the two feelings, and it even feels a bit like skating.

The Nubians hiding in the reeds once again raised their blowpipes. It was obvious that these Nubians, who had experienced countless battles, had also discovered these people who were having fun. , who is most dangerous.

The Nubians in front of him spit out poisonous needles almost at the same time. The paddle in Saitum’s hand immediately penetrated the water, and then he chanted the magic of controlling the water flow. As the paddle rose upward, the water flow quickly formed. A curtain of water appeared. This curtain of water was like a shield, encompassing all the poisonous needles, and then flung them aside.

Then he jumped up high and thrust the paddle forward like a father and son, and the powerful force directly caused a splash of water.

The reaction of these Nubians was also quick. They distanced themselves almost immediately. At the same time, they reflected that the sneak attack could not achieve much effect, so they simply pulled out the bone daggers they carried and fought with those Like poisonous needles, these daggers made of bones naturally have the curse of death on them.

Looking at the bone dagger that he was wielding, Saitum quickly backed away, stepping on the water with his feet, creating small splashes one after another. At the same time, the paddle in his hand rotated again, with the blade-like tip , slashing towards the necks of these Nubians.

He is above the water, and these Nubians are below the water. In terms of the difficulty of exerting force, he has an absolute advantage, and his movements are much more convenient than these guys.

It’s just that my body is not complete after all, and my growth power is really limited. I can only rely on the dexterity brought by my body!

These Nubians were also very decisive in their actions. After finding that it was difficult to attack the underwater existence, they looked at the golden oars that were about to be rowed, and simply took a breath and hid underwater.

Finally, it stabbed Saitum’s soles from under the water.

Setum quickly dodged to one side. One of the Nubians actually jumped out of the water and launched an attack from behind Setum. The bone dagger was raised high. It seemed that this time Saitum had no way to avoid the attack.

However, at this moment, the sun’s rays in the sky seemed to be deflected a little. The gold-wrapped legend directly reflected the sun’s rays. The flash of gold and gems made the Nubian squint his eyes. This momentary deviation caused the dagger in his hand to stab into the air.

Saitum directly took advantage of this opportunity to squat down, and then knocked the Nubian down with a sweeping kick. Then the paddle in his hand quickly fell down, and with the sound of broken bones, the Nubian in front of him The human skull must have been cracked. Under such circumstances, there was no way the Nubian could survive.

The last thought of the Nubian when he poured it into the water was, why is this damn sun deflecting its own light at this time?

After knocking the Nubian down, Saitum also looked up at the sun. However, the sun at this time deflected a little to the side, leaving his own light. When he met this boy, his eyes were looking directly at the sun. At that time, it was not so dazzling.

…….

Saitum had some subtle feelings in his heart. Recalling the attitudes of his old fathers in other lives in his impressions, a bold idea appeared in Saitum’s mind.

Chapter 416: Burning Reeds

However, even if you have a bold idea, it is not appropriate to shout it out directly now. After all, Ramses II, the cheap father of this body, calls himself the Sun King. Although all Pharaohs are regarded as children of the sun, and Or they are the descendants of Horus, and Horus is the heir of the sun, so there is no problem in being regarded as the son of the sun.

But Ramesses II should be the first to compare himself to the sun.

If the person who is paying attention to you is the real God of La, and you shout out at this time, no matter which side you prefer, you will almost “offend” the other side slightly.

What’s more, it’s just speculation at the moment. What if the sun god in the sky sees the kindness in his eyes not as his old father’s eyes, but as his grandfather’s eyes?

But these random thoughts were soon thrown aside by Saitum. He was still fighting. What he had to do now was to eliminate all the enemies while protecting himself.

The golden oar quickly poked under the water again. Although it did not directly smash the Nubian’s head, it completely broke the bone weapon in his hand. Other Nubians saw the surroundings. After the soldiers began to gather here, they understood that there was no possibility of a sneak attack. The mission of this small group of people had been completed.

But even death will leave indelible scars on these Egyptians!

The Monubians looked at each other, and then took out a stone with hieroglyphs painted on it from their waists. A red light flashed on the stone. Along with several Nubians, they pointed the stones in their hands towards Throwing aside the surroundings, with the injection of magic power, the red mark on the stone became brighter, and then the flames spread to all directions.

At this moment, white velvet flowers have bloomed in the autumn reeds. These velvet flowers have begun to dry out due to the cold wind in autumn. As the flames burn, they directly turn into a sea of ​​​​fire. As the sea of ​​​​fire spreads rapidly, Burning reeds enveloped the entire lake.

For a time, the soldiers outside the lake were unable to support the royal children in the lake, and the royal children could not easily leave the lake. Even if they could dive close to the shore, how to break through the last circle of rockets was a serious problem. After all, the aloe vera Dangs not only grow in shallow water areas, but there are also many on the shore.

At the same time, among the children of the royal family, not everyone has the talent to learn magic. What’s more, there are only a few magic geniuses. After all, there are only a few people who can perform fire-avoiding magic at this age. In the hot and slightly humid environment, Nile, once the skin is burned, it is likely to die from skin infection.

Although there are doctors or, strictly speaking, priests among the people accompanying them, the number of priests is not large. Especially when the chief person in charge of the priests is the Pharaoh, it is not necessarily possible to treat every wounded person. In this situation, Once the era is infected, it is game over.

No one would want to rush into the flames and gamble on the small possibility of not getting hurt.

But again, after the fire was let go, these Nubians had no way to get out of the fire safely, but these Nubians should have been prepared for this long ago, after all, even if they could get ashore , and there are not so many Egyptian soldiers who will only be caught and executed in the end. In this case, it is better to light a fire and see if one or two royal children can be replaced.

Anyway, when they went ashore to fight the Egyptian soldiers, they could only replace two or three people at most, and the impact was simply not comparable to killing a child of the royal family.

Cruel enough!

Saitum gritted his teeth as he looked at the fire in front of him. Even if he had learned a lot of magic with such flames, it would be difficult for him to rush out. He turned to look at the people on the boat. There was a bit more despair in their eyes. Especially those who have a good relationship with the two injured boys.

This curse of death itself should be lifted early. Once it is delayed for a long time, even if the injured position can be saved, it may be completely necrotic. Like these two injured boys… Once the body becomes necrotic, Even if the lower body does not have to be amputated, this kind of surgery is blessed by magic.

What’s more, it wasn’t just these two people who were injured in this round of attacks, some of the other people also had traces of these death curses on their bodies.

After seeing that the flames had enveloped the entire lake, there were one or two injuries that were relatively shallow, such as fingers or just scratches. The royal family members gritted their teeth, or pulled out the self-defense weapons they carried, or took out He picked up the weapon in his companion’s hand and stabbed him where the death curse spread.

Instead of betting that you can be restored by the priests in the palace, or in the situation where you can’t save your body, you might as well cut off your injured area directly, maybe you can stop the spread of the curse, even if you lose your body As part of the Egyptian royal family, they would not be able to support even a disabled person.

To be honest, most ordinary royal children were raised in the palace for free.

But even so, you still need to receive treatment as soon as possible.

After the Nubians set the fire, they simply launched an attack in the direction of Setum. As long as they could get rid of this seemingly excellent royal child, the reward would definitely be a big deal for the Egyptian royal family. What a huge loss.

Saitum clenched the golden oar, watching the Nubians approaching him quickly in the water, and re-injected enough magic power into his feet to ensure that he would be able to fight in the future. Among them, it will not fall directly into the water.

Pierce the oar into the water, and then slide it quickly. The magic on the oar drives the water to surge forward quickly, forcing the Nubians who are close to them in the water to move unsteadily due to the movement of the water. The moment of instability is your chance to take action!

The golden oar pushed forward in the water, and Saitum also ran forward quickly on the water. The golden oar was like a sharp blade that kept advancing forward in the water. The next moment, it hit one of them hard. On the Nubian, the sharp front end of the oar tore the Nubian’s shoulder blade.

Setum came the next moment and came behind the Nubian. He turned quickly and the golden oar in his hand once again rowed across the water. After making a wave of water, he left a piece of Bright red traces.

A Nubian’s body fell into the water, and the head floated on the water for two times before sinking.

Chapter 417: Annihilate the enemy

On the shore of the lake, Ramses II looked a little angry in the general temple. He did not expect that he had sent soldiers to defend here early, and there were actually Nubians ambushing him here.

This time, he was not the only one who came here with the pharaoh, but also the royal family members and some ministers. If those royal family members who are not very outstanding are injured or killed, it will damage the face of Egypt. If there are ministers here, Death in this turmoil will affect Egypt’s strength. As for the Pharaoh himself…

What a joke, Ramesses II didn’t think he would die in this chaos.

Pharaoh will never die from this dirty conspiracy! Hahahahahaha-ahem! Hahaha!

If he hadn’t been older, he could still carry weapons and kill enemies personally. You must know that this magic weapon has made great military exploits after he ascended the throne. Think about it, the previous pharaohs of every Egyptian dynasty seemed to be very good at fighting. .

However, what happened to Ramesses II had nothing to do with Setum. After all, no matter how many soldiers there were around the pharaoh, there was no way to directly rescue them from the flaming lake.

Saitum looked at the last Nubian in the area in front of him, and tightened the golden oar in his hand. To be honest, in order to prevent himself from falling from the lake into the lake, he had been dragging such a heavy weight while running. A paddle is indeed very labor-intensive, and my muscles are already a bit sore and trembling at this moment.

But fortunately, there is only the last enemy left in front of him. If possible, he hopes that the guy in front of him can turn around and run away, so that he does not need to fight anymore.

But since these Nubians chose to come here all the way, hide in the water for so long, and conduct a sneak attack, they would never leave just like that, not to mention that they had already cut off their own retreat. Instead of rushing into the flames and being burned If you want to die, it is better to try to get rid of an enemy. Now there is only one enemy left. This does not mean that you are safe. On the contrary, you are very dangerous.

As the saying goes, a sad army will win and a arrogant army will lose. Although it cannot be 100% accurate in explaining the situation on the battlefield, it is reasonable. The last Nubian in front of him is like a lone wolf, and his partners are all Already dead and at the same time cutting off his retreat, the Nubians in front of him will only become more crazy.

Of course, being crazy also means that your sanity will be reduced. Losing your sanity is your best chance to fight back.

Saitum pulled back a certain distance because he needed to ensure that his feet were constantly moving on the water. However, the Nubian in front of him did not take a defensive posture at all. Instead, he rushed directly in the direction of Saitum. Come over.
