Chapter 278 Zeus Who Do You Say Is Your Son?

Sun City - Heliopolis City.

As the head of the thirteen city-states in northern Egypt, the Sun City was not only the capital of the Egyptian dynasty in ancient history, but even 600 years later, Cairo, the capital of Egypt, was also established here.

Sun City is located about [-] miles south of the Nile Delta, with a desert separating the Nile River and the Isthmus of Suez to the east, the vast Sahara Desert to the west, the fertile Nile Delta to the north, and the fertile Nile Valley to the south.

As the city of Memphis entered the territory of the southern Egyptians, Sun City has become the gateway of the No.15 dynasty of Hyksos in Egypt.

Southern Egyptian pharaoh Kamose brought an army of [-] to conquer Sun City, and King Kepheus of Egypt also summoned an army of [-] to defend this important gate.

In the Battle of Kadesh 300 years later, Egypt's No.19 dynasty mobilized more than [-] troops from four legions, and the Hittite Empire also mobilized more than [-] troops.

Two powerful empires with a population of more than 200 million fought for hegemony in the Near East, and the combined strength of the two parties was less than 5.

At this time, the Southern Egyptians and Hyksos mobilized 15 troops, more than three times the number in the Battle of Kadesh.

But this does not mean that the 15 troops in the Battle of Sun City can match the more than 300 soldiers 4 years later.

Because of the Battle of Kadesh 300 years later, the two sides used more than [-] chariots alone. Ordinary soldiers used a large number of bronze weapons, and Hittite soldiers even used more advanced iron weapons.

In the current Battle of Sun City, although the two warring parties have a total of 15 troops, the number of bronze weapons does not exceed 12, the number of peasant soldiers holding wooden spears as weapons exceeds [-], and the chariots are only controlled by royal families and nobles. Hundreds.

South of Sun City.

On the plain chosen by both sides to be the battlefield.

While Kamose's [-] troops and Kepheus's [-] troops were confronting each other here, Roy brought his [-] soldiers to the edge of the battlefield, preparing to watch this important battle that would determine the future of Egypt.

If the Hyksos lose too badly, Roy will take the initiative to help the Hyksos and fulfill his promise to Andromeda.

If the Hyksos defeated the Southern Egyptians unexpectedly, Roy would also take the initiative to help Kamose if the Southern Egyptians lost too badly.

Because both the Hyksos and the southern Egyptians were losing, it was in Roy's best interest to continue the decades-long war.

Whether it is the Hyksos or the Southern Egyptians who become the victors, it will hinder the expansion of Loy's territory in Egypt.

battlefield center.

Kamose appeared at the forefront of the southern Egyptian army in a chariot, and behind him were noble generals sent by twenty city-states who surrendered to him.

Cepheus came to the front of the Hyksos army in a chariot, and behind him were only the noble generals and mercenary chiefs from the cities of Sun, Bubastis, Avaris, and Serabbit. them.

The difference in combat power between the two sides was clear at a glance, and Kamos laughed proudly.

"Ceps! If you want to reduce the sacrifice of the Hyksos, you should take the Hyksos out of Egypt. Although my grandfather and father were killed by you Hyksos on the battlefield , but I am willing to let go of hatred for peace."

"Kamos, don't think that victory will definitely belong to you."

Kefus said with a serious expression.

"For one Hyksos soldier to fall on the battlefield, you Southern Egyptians will fall two soldiers."

"Hahahaha—my grandfather and father both died on the battlefield. Do you think I care about the lives of ordinary soldiers? I don't even care about my own life. I have already made up my mind to die on the battlefield like my grandfather and father. If It is a good deal for me to exchange these [-] troops for the complete annihilation of your [-] troops."

"Camos—"

Hearing Kamose's words, Cepheus roared while gnashing his teeth.

"You have already ruled twenty city-states, why are you still not satisfied? If you insist on the stupid idea of ​​driving us Hyksos away, I will also hold the consciousness of going to death, let you be like Tao I and Tao The second died on the battlefield as well."

"If you can do it, just come and kill me!"

After speaking provocatively, Kamos charged in the chariot.

Under the leadership of Kamose, the [-] troops of the southern Egyptians rushed towards the army of Cepheus like a flood.

As a pharaoh of the Southern Egyptians, Kamose did not hide under the protection of the soldiers, but rushed in front of all the soldiers. It was not that Kamose wanted to do this, but he had to lead the way.

Because the priests and nobles in southern Egypt were not very interested in fighting the Hyksos at the risk of huge sacrifices.

Only the pharaohs of the pharaoh's family took the lead in the charge, and the priests and nobles were willing to support this war.

Seeing Kamose leading the southern Egyptian army rushing over, Kepheus also charged in his chariot and led his [-] army to face Kamose in a decisive battle.

Boom!Boom!
The two armies collided like two torrents. The sound of hundreds of chariots colliding was like thunder, and the soldiers' shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

After the armies of the two sides fought, the gods of the two camps also descended on the battlefield.

First, Seth [Zeus], ​​the patron saint of the Hyksos, brought Atum, the patron saint of the city of the sun, Basteto, the patron saint of the city of Bubastis, and Ra, the sun god, and Almighty God to the north of the battlefield. Then came Amon, the patron saint of the southern Egyptians, with Ptah, the patron saint of Memphis, Sekhmet, the patron saint of Itawi, Sobek, the patron saint of Crocodile City, and Ptah, the patron saint of Heracleopolis. Khryshev, the patron saint of Kau City, Kaukate, the patron saint of Hu City, Hu, the patron saint of Asyut, Upuot, the patron saint of Akhmeim, and Anubi, the patron saint of Abydos Gods such as Si, the patron saint of Dendera city Hathor, and the patron saint of Hierakonpolis city Horus descended to the south of the battlefield.

Seeing the sun god Amon surrounded by more than a dozen patron saints, Seth [Zeus] teased the gods behind Amon with an ugly face.

"This is not my dear four sons Ptah [Hephaestus], the god of fire and craftsmen, Sobek the crocodile god, Upuot, the protector of the army, and Anubis [Hermes], the god of attracting the dead. 】? You rebellious sons do not stand with me, the father god, but support my enemy Amon. Is this how you are dutiful sons? It seems that my loving father has beaten you too little in the past, you rebellious sons Only dare to rebel."

"Who do you say he is your son!"

Sobek, the crocodile god with a crocodile head, waved his battle ax and roared.

"When the Hyksos dominated Egypt, you said I was your son. Now my crocodile city is conquered by the southern Egyptians. If you dare to talk nonsense and say that I am your son, I will let my priest They fabricate myths, saying that you Seth [Zeus] is my son of Sobek. You listen to me, now the great Amon God dominates Egypt, and only Amun God is qualified to claim to be my father god. "
