Chapter 269 The Athenian Maiden God Athena
In response to the war with the city of Sais, Roy summoned all [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Egyptian soldiers to Buto City.

As a result, after waiting from March to April, Roy still did not wait for the army in Sais City.

After sending soldiers to Saisi City for reconnaissance, Roy learned that the Pharaoh Sekhahn of Saisi City was conducting emergency training for tens of thousands of soldiers in Saisi City.

Sekhahn was so cautious in order to win the war, and of course Loy was also training the army in Butuo City.

The seventh day of April.

Sekhahn finally arrived outside the city of Bhutto with an army of [-].

Roy led [-] Athenian soldiers and [-] Egyptian soldiers to fight out of the city. The armies of both sides confronted each other on the plain south of Butuo.

Nate, the patron saint of Sais City, has aliases such as Ness and Nate depending on the pronunciation.

As early as the First Dynasty of Egypt, that is, starting 500 years ago, the city of Sais was already a center of worship for Knight.

In the long historical evolution, the Saisians not only regarded Knight as the supreme goddess who created the gods and human beings, but also endowed her with many godheads.

As the patron saint of the city-state, Knight's most important godhead is the godhead of war.

As the Goddess of War, Knight is a goddess of war who holds a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. The sacred object symbolizing her is not some kind of holy beast, but the golden shield she holds, so Knight is also called a shield holder. goddess.

Because the goddess Knight is a goddess of shields, Saisi soldiers also fight with shields.

At this time, Roy was observing the army in Sais City, and saw that Pharaoh Sekhann of Sais City was holding a golden bronze shield, the noble generals beside him were holding wooden shields wrapped in cowhide, and ordinary Sais soldiers were also holding shields. wooden shield.

They seem to think that by holding a shield, they can get the protection of Knight, the shield-wielding goddess of war, the patron saint of Seys City on the battlefield.

While Roy was observing the army of Sais City, Sekhhan was also observing the army of Buto City behind Roy.

Although Sekhane did not underestimate Roy's soldiers, the strength of the Athenian soldiers was beyond his expectations. Even Roy's Egyptian soldiers were full of vigor, as if they were not fighting for foreign conquerors, but defending themselves homes.

Roy and Sekhane came to the same conclusion—the opponent's soldiers should not be underestimated.

Roy couldn't help but be thankful that he didn't take the initiative to attack Saisi City.

Because the result of taking the initiative to attack Saisi City was at most a miserable victory.

"Loy, King of Athens!"

Before the war between the two sides, Sekhane sternly accused Roy.

"You foreigners not only invaded the land of Egypt, but also broke the traditions of the Egyptians and drove out the priests and nobles who have ruled the Egyptians for thousands of years. Evil invaders like you will not be accepted by the Egyptians. Now I want to Drive you out on behalf of the Egyptians. If you don't want your soldiers to die in vain, take them off the land of Egypt."

"puff--"

After listening to Sekhane's words, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"You said that the priests and nobles ruled the Egyptians for thousands of years, and the Egyptians could not accept that there were no priests and nobles ruling them-do you really believe this nonsense? You ask the Egyptian soldiers behind me, they really Are you willing to endure hardships and suffer, so that your children and grandchildren will support the priests and nobles together?"

After Roy finished speaking, the Egyptian soldiers behind him immediately let out a thunderous cry.

"We don't want to—"

Although the pharaohs of Egypt could easily use tens of thousands of people to build pyramids for themselves, the Egyptians were not really willing to be slaves.

The Egyptian No.19 dynasty ruled by Pharaoh Ramses II, who was blown to be the greatest emperor of Egypt, was destroyed by the slave uprising.

Regrettably, it was still foreigners from the Near East who led the Egyptians to overthrow the No.19 dynasty.

Sekhan also knew that his nonsense was unreasonable, but he was a pharaoh supported by priests and nobles, so of course he had to speak from the standpoint of priests and nobles.

Seeing that Loy could not be reasonable, Sekhane chose to attack.

"Saisians! For the goddess Knight, for the city of Sais! You follow me, and we will defeat the invaders together."

After speaking, Sekhahn took the lead and rushed to Roy's army.

The Saisi people also shouted loudly and followed closely behind Sekhahn.

Seeing the enemy launching an attack, Roy also took his own soldiers to take the initiative to meet him.

Roy and Sekhhan rushed to each other first, and Roy mercilessly brandished the bronze spear and stabbed Sekhhan.

Clang!
Sekhahn blocked Roy's attack with a golden bronze shield, and then swung his spear to counter Roy.

"What a tough shield!"

Roy looked at his shield in surprise while dodging Sekhahn's attack.

With the blessing of Roy's divine power, Roy's spear blade can penetrate even steel shields.

Roy's spear blade could not pierce Sekhan's shield. Obviously, Sekhan's shield was blessed with divine power, and the divine power of the shield goddess strengthened the bronze shield to an incredible level.

While Roy was surprised, Sekhane also looked at Roy with fearful eyes.

Because Roy's attack on him was too powerful, he couldn't help suspecting that Roy was not a great hero, but a demigod hero.

If he hadn't used the divine power given to him by Goddess Nate to bless the shield just now, his shield would have been pierced by Roy's spear just now, and even passed through the shield and injured his body.

Dodging Sekhhan's onslaught, confirming that his strength and speed were not comparable to his own, Roy immediately began to look for opportunities to kill Sekhhan.

Knowing the gap in strength between him and Roy, Sekhane has been using a shield to protect his body.

While Roy and Sekhhan were fighting, Loy's soldiers and Sekhhan's soldiers were also fighting fiercely.

Although Roy completely suppressed Seckhan in the battle, Roy's soldiers could not suppress Seckhan's soldiers, and the two sides were evenly matched.

But Loi's soldiers were only four thousand, and Sekhan's were six thousand.

In the war of attrition among soldiers, the loser must be Roy's soldiers.

In order to win this war, Roy must defeat Sekhane as soon as possible, so that Sekhane's soldiers lose the will to fight to the end.

Sekhane obviously sensed Roy's intentions, and when Roy's attack became more and more difficult to resist, Sekhane called out loudly.

"Great Goddess Knight, please grant me the strength to defeat my enemies."

Accompanied by Sekhane's prayer, a goddess with wings descended from the sky to the south of the battlefield. It was Naite, the patron saint of Sais City.

Metis, the patron saint of the city of Athens, also took the initiative to appear and descended to the north of the battlefield.

The two goddesses looked at each other across the battlefield, and Metis said with a faint smile like a hunter staring at his prey.

"Very good! You are really good! You are different from Wajit, the sun snake. Your attributes don't conflict with me too much."

Hearing these inexplicable words, Knight said expressionlessly.

"Foreign God, do you want to introduce yourself first?"

"I am Athena [the goddess of Athens]."

Metis said immediately.

"I am a maiden god from Athens, the goddess of wisdom named Metis."
