I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 284 Making a deal with Nafir
As the backbone of the Egyptian king Cepheus was seriously injured, Perseus, Minos, Ramses II, Phineus and others had to leave Sun City with their army.

The Egyptians in Sun City would naturally not fight desperately to maintain the rule of the Hyksos.

So Roy led the southern Egyptian army to the outside of the Sun City, and the Egyptians in the Sun City opened the city gate and surrendered, allowing Roy to take the southern Egyptian army and occupy the sun, the head of the thirteen city-states in Northern Egypt. city.

Nafir entered Sun City with Kamose's body, and immediately summoned all the priests in Sun City, ordering them to mummify Kamose's body and prepare to build Kamose's pyramid outside Sun City.

When Roy came outside Sun City to make arrangements for his [-] Egyptian soldiers, the generals of Kamose also found Nafer, trying to persuade Nafer to change his mind with various reasons.

"Princess Nafeel! King Loi of Athens is the enemy who killed Pharaoh Kamose, how can you marry him!"

Hearing the reason given by the generals, Nafer led the generals to Kamose's body and pointed to the arrow wound on Kamose's body.

"You can see clearly that the person who actually killed Brother Kamose was the Hyksos who used this arrow to sneak attack Brother Kamose. Brother Kamose was already in a state of death after being hit by the arrow, so he and Luo I hope that my life will be ended by a powerful demigod hero instead of being killed by an arrow in humiliation. Roy is not the murderer of Brother Kamose, he satisfies Brother Kamose in the end wish."

Kamos fought Roy after being hit by an arrow, this is something the generals all know.

Seeing that this reason was not working, the generals immediately changed their reason.

"Princess Nafer! Although we Egyptians did not deprive the princess of her right of inheritance, and there have been precedents for princesses to become female pharaohs in the past, there are only a handful of such precedents. And according to tradition, you should marry your elder brother, Prince Ahmose , and ascend to the throne together."

"Prince Ahmose is the son of the Moon God, and Princess Nafer is the daughter of the Sun God. Only Prince Ahmose is worthy to be your husband."

"Let that king of Athens, who is hostile to priests and nobles, marry you, will he respect our tradition and inherit the identity of the son of the sun god Pharaoh Kamose?"

Nafer frowned and said.

"We Egyptians don't have a tradition that princesses cannot marry outsiders, so you have no reason to ask me to marry brother Ahmose. As for whether Roy will become the son of the sun god of Amon—he is a foreigner after all, I It will take some time to convince him to accept our tradition."

Hearing what Nafer said, the generals could only say.

"We have no objection to the princess inheriting the throne. As long as King Roy of Athens can respect our traditions, we will not require the princess to marry Prince Ahmose."

The generals really didn't care whether Ahmose or Nafir was the heir to the throne.

After all, this is an internal matter of the pharaoh's family. No matter which side they support, the throne will not fall on them.

So what the generals really care about is which side can guarantee their interests.

Prince Ahmose can guarantee their interests, so they support Prince Ahmose.

Princess Nafer can guarantee their interests, and they don't mind supporting Princess Nafer.

Roy returned to the palace in Sun City and found Nafier who was guarding the body of Kamose, and saw Nafier looking worried.

Sensing Roy's gaze, Nafiel took the initiative to speak to Roy.

"You came back just in time. I have something important to tell you. The generals have communicated with me. They have no objection to my succession to the throne, but you must respect the traditions of our Egyptians. First of all, you cannot The practice of the city of Yis hurts the priests and nobles of more than 20 city-states ruled by the southern Egyptians. Then you have to inherit the identity of my brother as the son of God and become the son of the sun god Amon. Because I was deified as the daughter of the sun god , you must have the status of the son of the sun god to be worthy of being my husband."

"I have to be Amon's son before I can marry you?"

After hearing what Nafiel said, Roy rolled his eyes.

If he just made Amon his cheap father-in-law, Roy didn't mind.

Because Nafir is indeed the daughter of the sun god Amon.

It is absolutely unacceptable for Roy to let himself be Amon's son.

Letting himself give up the practice of eliminating priests and nobles is even more impossible for Roy to accept.

If all the priests and nobles are not wiped out, is Egypt the Egypt of Loy, or the Egypt of the priests and nobles?

In the history of another world, Egypt's No.18 Dynasty left a bloody lesson.

Even if the pharaohs were enemies with the priests and nobles, they would die and the country would be destroyed.

Roy didn't want to leave these priests and nobles to harm his descendants, and let them repeat the mistakes of the pharaohs of the No.18 dynasty.

"Nafel, it's impossible for me to be Amon's son, and it's even more impossible for me to give up destroying priests and nobles."

"But if you don't accept their request, they will abandon me and run to support Brother Ahmose!"

Nefer said dissatisfied.

"Do you think that I am the only heir to the Pharaoh's throne? Or do you think that my succession is higher than that of Brother Ahmose? If we want the support of the generals, we must meet their requirements."

"Nafel, you are the one who wants to inherit the pharaoh's throne, so I will not make compromises for the pharaoh's throne."

Nafiel walked up to Roy angrily, leaned his body in Roy's arms and said.

"Don't you want me, the throne I inherited?"

"I don't want to compromise for you, for the pharaoh's throne."

Looking at Roy with a firm expression, Nafiel reached out and grabbed Roy's collar and said in a low voice.

"Brother Ahmose is thousands of miles away now. This is the only chance for me to control the army left by Brother Kamose to inherit the throne. If I miss this opportunity, I will be forced to accept intermarriage to marry Ahmose Brother. Even if you don't want to compromise, you must pretend to compromise in order to help me ascend the throne."

"Then let's make a deal!"

Roy said with a smirk.

"Nafir! I am going to use the name of you and the Southern Egyptians to destroy the priests and nobles of the Sun City, Atribis City, and Merimda City that belong to the Hyksos. As long as you agree, you can Lied to the generals that I accepted their demands."

Nafiel hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said.

"Yes! Sun City, Atribis City, and Merimda City once belonged to the Hyksos. Atum, the patron saint of Sun City, even claimed in his mythology that Amon was created by him. Son, we have enough reasons to strike down the traitors among these Egyptians, so that the generals can't say anything against them. In order to make the generals less suspicious of you, I will send two generals to destroy the priests and nobles in Sun City and Merimda City and the patron saint, you go to destroy the priests, nobles and patron saints of Atribis City."
