Chapter 247 Go to King Cepheus of Egypt

After half a month of landing at the Port of Pharos, instead of waiting for the army to come to Buto, they waited for the envoy of King Cepheus of Egypt.

Full of doubts, Roy returned to the Governor's Mansion in Faros City - the former Vajit Temple, and saw Ramses II standing outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion waiting for him.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens!"

Seeing Roy's figure, Ramses II immediately came to Roy and asked.

"Since you have already landed in Egypt, why don't you go to the city of Avaris to meet King Cepheus?"

"Ramesses II, before I answer your question, tell me - why do you know I'm here?"

"Your Majesty did not notice it! When your fleet entered the port of Pharos, my ship has been following your fleet."

Ramses II said helplessly.

"I have already told His Majesty Cepheus the news that you brought Athens soldiers to Egypt, but His Majesty Cepheus has not waited for you for ten days, so I can only personally invite you to follow me to the city of Avaris. "

Facing Ramses II's invitation, Roy said frankly.

"Ramesses II, haven't you seen it yet? I came to Egypt not to become a mercenary of Kepheus, but to seize a piece of land. Now I have occupied twelve villages in the Pharos area, for defense The attack on Bhutto City, I cannot go to Avaris City with you."

"But I have already assured His Majesty Cepheus that I will definitely bring you before His Majesty Cepheus."

Ramses II said with a embarrassed expression.

"And you don't need to worry, Buto City will definitely not come to attack the area you occupied."

Ramses II dared to say this, of course there are certain reasons.

The land in Egypt is fertile and rich in products. Not only is there so much food that it can be exported, but there are also copper mines that can be used to forge weapons. Therefore, the Egyptians have no need for active foreign trade at all, and the coastal areas used to build ports have not attracted the attention of the Egyptians.

In another world, even more than 1000 years later, it was Alexandria—a foreign ruler who decided to build Alexandria off the coast of Egypt.

Even now, the city of Tanis in the northeast corner of the Nile Delta can become the trading center of Egypt, because the city of Tanis is not ruled by the Egyptians, but by the Phoenicians who worshiped Astarte [Aphrodite]. base rule.

The Faros area currently occupied by Loy is not only a coastal area that is completely ignored in the eyes of the Egyptians, but also a straight-line distance of about [-] miles from Buto City, which belongs to the border where Buto City cannot establish effective rule at all.

If Lowe only occupied the twelve coastal villages on the border, Buto City did have good reasons to turn a blind eye to Lowe's actions.

After all, Buto City spent manpower and material resources to drive away the foreign invaders, and it was difficult to establish real rule over this area.

Perhaps Roy continued to expand the territory of the Kingdom of Athens, making Buto city unbearable, and they would take the initiative to attack Roy.

Thinking of this, Roy said with a relaxed tone.

"After all, Kepheus is the king of the whole of Egypt in name. That is to say, the Pharos area I occupied also belongs to Kepheus in name. Since Kepheus has always wanted to see me, then I will go to see Kepheus S?"

"Please go to Avaris City!"

Ramses II bewitched Roy.

"Now His Majesty Cepheus is looking for an excellent husband for Princess Andromeda. If you can be favored by Princess Andromeda, you will not only be able to marry Princess Andromeda who is as beautiful as a goddess, And heir to the throne of the king of Egypt."

If it was more than 100 years ago, when the nomads in the Phoenician region had just dominated northern Egypt and ruled the entire territory of Egypt in name, the heir to the throne of the Egyptian king would have really moved Roy's heart.

Now the king of Egypt, Kephes, ruled four quarters of Egypt, and the South Egyptian Pharaoh Kamose had a tendency to conquer the whole of Egypt. Roy didn't want to be an enemy of Kamose, a powerful demigod hero.

"I have no interest in becoming Cepheus' son-in-law, but I agree to go to Avaris with you."

Hearing Roy's answer, Ramses II immediately said excitedly as if he was afraid of Roy's repentance.

"His Majesty the King of Athens, let's take a boat to the port of Tanis City now! When we arrive at Tanis City, we will ride to Avaris City."

"can!"

After entrusting the management of the city of Pharos to Aries, Roy followed Ramses II to the port and boarded his Egyptian warship.

Seeing that Roy wanted to go to Avaris City alone, Ramses II couldn't help but said.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, don't you take a single soldier with you?"

Roy said with a faint smile.

"I am now the invader who takes the land of Egypt! When Cepheus knows that I am not willing to be his mercenary and wants to take the land in his name, he is likely to attack me. I can easily escape alone. Varys City, but if I bring a group of Athenian soldiers with me, it is equivalent to carrying a group of burdens."

"It seems that you have already made up your mind to be an enemy of His Majesty Cepheus!"

After Ramses II said this sigh, he ordered the sailors to set sail.

The industrious Egyptian sailors shook the oars with all their strength, let the warship sail out of the port of Pharos, and then sailed in the Mediterranean like an arrow from the string.

After a day and night of sailing, Ramses II's warship entered the port of Tanis City in the afternoon of the second day.

After Roy and Ramses II landed here, Ramses quickly asked his servants to find two horses.

Although the nomads in the Phoenician region ruled Egypt, which increased the number of horses in Egypt, horses were still a strategic commodity that nobles could afford.

Seeing that Ramses II could easily get two horses, Roy understood that the Ramses family deserved to be the priestly nobles of Egypt.

Even under the rule of foreign nomads, priests and nobles lost their status as nobles on the surface, but their power and wealth did not decrease.

300 years later, the descendants of the Ramses family were able to establish the No.19 dynasty in Egypt, also because the Ramses family had a profound heritage.

If Ramesses I was just an ordinary commoner 300 years later, the priests and nobles of the various city-states in Egypt would never allow a commoner to climb on top of their heads.

The city of Tanis is one of the four regimes in the four quarters of the Egyptian world, and it is also one of the cities guarded by the goddess Aphrodite.

In order to reach Avaris City before dark, Roy did not enter Tanis City, and rode directly to Avaris City with Ramses II at the port.

While riding a horse around Tanis City, looking at the bustling trade of Tanis City, Roy decided that he must enter Tanis City on the return journey.

If the city-state guarded by Aphrodite is not very powerful, maybe Roy can conquer Aphrodite and the city-state she guards, and turn the blessing of Aphrodite on her body from a curse to a real blessing.
