Chapter 263 The War to Conquer Butuo City
Compared with the suitors of Andromeda, Roy, king of Athens and overlord of the Aegean Sea, was indeed the best husband.

Normally, Andromeda would of course choose the best husband, not the poorest suitor.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the trend of the Southern Egyptians defeating the Hyksos is becoming more and more obvious. When Andromeda married Roy, it could be considered that Andromeda had climbed over Roy.

So Andromeda was willing to marry Roy, and Ramses II was not surprised at all.

"Princess Andromeda! Since you chose to stay with the King of Athens, I will go back and tell His Majesty Cepheus that you have decided to marry the King of Athens."

Andromeda nodded.

"When I convince Roy to propose to his father, I will return to Avaris City with Roy."

After watching Ramses II leave, Andromeda returned to the Governor's Mansion and came to the room where Roy was.

At this time, Luo Yi was writing a letter, and Andromeda asked while looking at the Chinese characters on the white paper.

"Loy, what kind of writing is this higher-level writing than pictographs?"

"This is Chinese characters, the words I spread in this world."

Roy stopped writing and said.

"If you like Chinese characters, I can teach you."

"This is the writing you invented—"

Andromeda said in shock.

"The longer I have known you, the more times I have been shocked by your wisdom. Are you really a human? Even if you say that you are a god of wisdom disguised as a human, I will believe it without any doubt. "

Roy said with a smile.

"If the things I make are my own wisdom, even I will believe that I am a god of wisdom. But I know that wisdom does not belong to me, I am just spreading other people's wisdom."

"Then what is the content of this letter you wrote?"

"This is—an important secret!"

Roy said with a troubled expression.

"Andromeda, I have no doubts about you, but you are not yet a member of the Kingdom of Athens, so I cannot reveal important secrets to you."

Andromeda changed the subject while pretending to be dissatisfied, puffing her cheeks.

"I, an unmarried princess, just follow you by your side. When are you going to take responsibility and propose to my father?"

Roy would not be so foolish as to think that Andromeda was acting so aggressively because she wanted to be one of his fiancées.

Because the Kingdom of Athens was too far away from Egypt, Andromeda didn't really understand Roy.

So she took the initiative now because she wanted to become Roy's first wife, the Queen of the Kingdom of Athens.

If Roy said that he already had many fiancées, Andromeda would definitely change his face.

In order to use Andromeda to realize the plan, Roy reassures her.

"Andromeda, I'm going to launch a war against Bhutto and Sais soon. When I stabilize the situation in Bhutto and Sais, I will take you back to Avaris."

"The combined soldiers of Bhutto and Sais are at least tens of thousands, and you only have [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] newly recruited Egyptian soldiers. You can really defeat Buto and Sais." city?"

"Egyptians are not good at fighting at all. You Hyksos people know this better than me! If you have a lot of people, you can win the war. Your ancestors of the Hyksos people would not use tens of thousands of people to conquer millions. Northern Egyptians."

Andromeda couldn't refute what Roy said.

Because it is a fact that the Egyptians do not know how to fight.

Even if the southern Egyptians learned the military technology and combat methods of the Hyksos, they would lose to the Hyksos with the same number of soldiers, and they could only consume the Hyksos with a huge number of soldiers. Soldier.

If the Hyksos had the same number of soldiers as the South Egyptian soldiers, the South Egyptians would have knelt at the feet of the Hyksos to express their submission.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the day when Roy set off, Roy took [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Egyptian soldiers and left the port of Pharos on [-] warships.

Along with Roy was Andromeda and her three maids.

Roy's fleet sailed for a day and a night, sailing from the Mediterranean Sea into the tributary of the Nile River west of the cities of Bhutto and Sais.

the next morning.

Roy's fleet docked at the bend of the river near the city of Buto, and then Roy landed with [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Egyptian soldiers, leaving [-] Athenian soldiers to protect the warship and Andromeda.

While Roy took [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Egyptian soldiers to Bhutto, the governor and priests and nobles in Bhutto also received news of the enemy's appearance.

Because the enemy only had [-] soldiers, the governor and priests and nobles of Butuo City did not choose to defend the city, but sent [-] troops to take the initiative to eliminate Luo Yi.

On a plain about ten miles away from Butuo City, Roy's army encountered the army of Butuo City.

Seeing that the number of enemy troops was more than five times that of his side, Roy's Egyptian soldiers all showed fearful expressions, and Roy's Athenian soldiers all had high morale and were full of confidence in defeating the enemies ahead.

Roy was not surprised by the reaction of the Egyptian soldiers.

From the outset, Lowe did not expect Egyptian soldiers to play a role in the conquest of Bhutto and Sais.

Roy took these Egyptian soldiers just to use them to run the city.

Before attacking the enemy, Roy gave orders to the soldiers.

"My soldiers! After this war started, the Athenian soldiers were responsible for killing the enemy with me, and the Egyptian soldiers were responsible for shouting slogans behind. You must keep shouting—surrender without killing, and those who do not surrender die! Don't die for the priests and nobles in vain , outsiders conquered the city of Bhutto, and each Egyptian family will be allocated [-] acres of land. If someone does not spare no effort to participate in this war, not only will he be severely punished, but he and all his family members will also be punished. Denied citizenship."

After speaking his order, Roy took the lead and rushed to the army of Butuo City.

The army of the Kingdom of Athens collided with the army of Butuo City, and the situation on the battlefield immediately turned into a one-sided situation.

Roy and the Athens soldiers were like tigers plunging into the flock of sheep, and the soldiers of Butuo City in front of them fell one by one.

Because most of the soldiers in Butuo City are temporarily forced farmers, only those private soldiers raised by priests and nobles have certain combat power.

It's a pity that the number of private soldiers is too small to have any impact on the situation of this war.

When Roy's [-] Egyptian soldiers saw Roy leading [-] Athenian soldiers to crush the [-] army in Butuo, they all stared in shock, unable to believe that the victory came so easily.

While charging with the Athenian soldiers, they shouted the slogan that Roy taught them.

"Surrender, don't kill, those who don't surrender will die! Don't sacrifice your life for the priests and nobles in vain. When outsiders conquer the city of Butuo, every Egyptian family can get [-] acres of land."

Those farmers who were temporarily conscripted as soldiers did not want to die in vain.

Hearing this slogan made them more determined not to die.

Because in this day and age—

Not to mention that in this era, even in the Roman era 1000 years later, conscripted soldiers were not paid, and there was no pension after death in battle. Death is really a death in vain.

Only when they win a battle can soldiers get trophies or rewards.
