"This is a summoner who tends to be a team support type..." Bai Xiaowen was surprised by Sammet's occupation, which was actually a high priest of a temple. Although he didn't know what the "Temple of Karnak" meant, the fact that a young man like Sammet was actually a high priest was as intriguing as his status as a legion commander.
"Lord Sammet, this junior officer named Dior disobeyed my order." Zehu, the commander of the fourth phalanx, took a step forward, and the villain complained first.
Sammet looked at Bai Xiaowen: "You said you wanted to see me? Do you have something to tell me?"
Zehu opened his mouth a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to speak.
"It's like this..." Bai Xiaowan first told about the discovery of the Hittite scouts, and then described the result, "I killed two and captured the other two alive. From their mouths, I got Knowing an astonishing news... so I must personally report to the leader of the legion."
"What amazing news?" Sammet asked, frowning.
"I'm afraid this kind of confidentiality is not suitable for explaining here." Bai Xiaowen is still very confidential.
Sammet nodded: "It makes sense." He raised his head and said, "All soldiers backed up two hundred steps."
The crowd receded like a tide, leaving behind a circular field with a radius of two hundred steps.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the group of round guards beside Sammet.
"They are my most loyal guards, and they are also the barrier of the kingdom. There will be no security issues. You can say it now." Sammet said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, and asked a question first: "Master Sammet, may I ask if Pharaoh is near Kadesh City now?"
Sammet looked at Bai Xiaowen for a while before nodding: "Yes, there were two Bedouin nomads who fled before and brought information about the main force of the Hittite army. At present, the main force of the Hittite army is hundreds of miles away. Harpa, Kadeishi City was weakly defended. Pharaoh led the Amun God Legion, crossed the Orent River first, and stationed in the south of Kadeishi City, planning to capture Kadeishi City first, and seize the opportunity of the war.
"
"yes?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said, "But in the confession of the Hittite scouts, it was said that the main force of the Hittite army had secretly moved to the east bank of the Orente River, preparing to ambush the Pharaoh!"
Sammet frowned, obviously weighing the authenticity of this information. He raised his head quickly.
"The information you gave is very important. I took these two Hittite scouts away, and I will interrogate them severely." Sammet said.
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised: "Master Sammet, the current situation is that the pharaoh is facing a crisis, and he may be surrounded by the main force of the Hittites at any time... I think we should not waste any more time. We should send people across the river to the Kadesh area as soon as possible. Report this news to Pharaoh. The Ptah God's Legion should also immediately move towards Kadesh and prepare to participate in the battle." ..
Sammet's eyes sharpened: "Remember your identity, Commander Dior. I am the decision maker of this legion, and I will not send unconfirmed information to Pharaoh! After the whole army is assembled , go north according to the pharaoh's predetermined order, and target the city of Ugarit!"
Sammet's cloak flicked, five colorful feathers flickered, like a proud big rooster, he turned and left. He also took the two Hittite captives.
...
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi stood on the chariot, and the sound of creaking wooden wheels kept coming to their ears.
"You have made a great contribution. Why is there no hint at all? There is no reputation improvement." Li Shuyi said in the team channel.
Bai Xiaowen frowned, thinking about the problem. One hypothesis after another surged in his super brain, and then he made inferences based on the existing information, and ruled out the less likely hypotheses one by one.
"Sammet has a problem." Bai Xiaowen said suddenly.
Li Shuyi was taken aback: "Isn't it? He is one of the commanders of the four major armies, and what kind of high priest is he, who holds a high position at such a young age..."
"It's strange to become an emperor and want to become an immortal. Don't underestimate people's greed," Bai Xiaowen said, "I originally wanted to get a mission from Sammet to successfully enter Pharaoh Ramses' vision... ...But Sammet didn't even send a messenger, and still insisted on marching as planned...This is very unlike the actions of a loyal army commander."
"Then what should we do?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said: "Since Sammet didn't give the task, we can do it by ourselves. The information is the memory fragments I read with the charm spell and telepathy, and two Hittites died because of this." Captives...so the authenticity is completely reliable. Of the two living Hittites who have been taken away, one of them is still under the control of the enchantment charm."
"As long as we can see Pharaoh Ramses and raise a warning, and successfully get him out of danger, the main mission is estimated to be almost completed. And the favorability accumulated from Pharaoh can be used for follow-up investigations of the Silent Tongue organization. "
"Okay." Li Shuyi's answer was short and powerful.
Bai Xiaowen reined in the reins, and the trotting horse let out a long hiss. Immediately afterwards, the war horse turned to the left and left the army directly.
Following behind, the former driver Melu, who was demoted to infantry, couldn't help screaming when he saw this scene: "Dior! What are you doing?"
Bai Xiaowen didn't answer this guy at all, and under the connection of mental power, he drove the horse towards the dense forest on the left.
Melu shouted: "Come here! Law enforcement team! Commander! Dior is going to defect!" In fact, he didn't think that Bai Xiaowen was going to defect, but he just said so on purpose.
"Congratulations, you are so accurate." Bai Xiaowen smiled and raised the Desert Eagle to Melu.
A shot between the eyebrows!
Vital attack! Crit! Penetrating special effects! Thirst to kill triggers!
Melu fell on his back.
This shot successfully deterred other Egyptian soldiers, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi drove the chariot, suddenly turned back, and circled around Mai Lu's body. Then, Bai Xiaowen pulled the reins again, and the chariot rushed west again, disappearing from everyone's sight.
...
The central phalanx of the Ptah God's Legion, a huge flat carriage with exquisite carvings and a width of four or five meters, is moving smoothly on this undulating road.
The flatbed carriage was pulled by four tall horses, and above it was a rather imposing throne. The legion commander, Sammet, the high priest of the Karnak Temple, sat lazily on the throne.
Kneeling next to the armrest of the throne are two maids in tulle, and there is a veil like curtain around the throne. Surrounding the throne carriage is a group of guards like wolves and tigers, driving chariots to guard Sammet.
A slender man in white robes on a horse quickly approached the throne, and the surrounding guards quickly moved out of the way.
"Master, I'm back." The white-robed man said respectfully.
"Nah, are those two bloody nomads dealt with?" Sammet asked.
"According to the master's will, they have been sent to Osiris."
"Hmph, that's good. Damn Hittites, stupid Muwatalis, actually sent someone to spy on me!" Sammet snorted.
"Master, the Hittites are hostile to us after all, so it's normal to be suspicious," said the white-robed man Naihe.
"It's fine to watch me. The key is what kind of bastards he sent? They were all killed by a soldier from Orion, and two were captured alive... Fortunately, I personally asked when I was inspecting the army, otherwise it would be troublesome."
"Right now, the plan is still progressing smoothly, Master."
Sammet snorted, reclined on the throne, and narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, Zehu, the commander of the fourth phalanx, hurried over and shouted through Sammet's personal guards: "Lord Sammet! There is an emergency, I want to see Lord Sammet!"
"Let him come here." Sammet said with a frown.
The chariot of the pro-guard gave way, and Zehu quickly came to the throne.
"What's wrong?" Sammet asked lazily.
"My lord, that chariot commander named Dio... defected with his deputy!" Zehu hurriedly said, "They took a chariot and killed an infantryman who was trying to stop it...wait for me It was too late to receive the news."
Sammet stood up abruptly, and the gold-carved wine glass fell suddenly.
"What does this daring hunter want to do?"
Nai He whispered: "Master, he may not have defected... but went to Kadeshi City!"
Sammet pondered: "How dare he...?"
"According to common sense, no, but a soldier who dares to capture the enemy's cavalry alone and beat his colleagues is very likely. He may have seen something and wants to fight for a way out. Once the bet is right Now, he is likely to rise to prominence."
"You can't just let him run away like this!" Sammet said emphatically, "Nah, I now order you to lead a phalanx to capture Dio. How sure are you of success?"
Nai He hurriedly said: "Master, there is no need to send out an army to capture two fugitives. It is like beating an ant with a fist, but it is not as accurate and deadly as a finger. I suggest..."Zaren" and the others should be sent past."
Sammet nodded: "You are right. Tell me Zalen right away, and I must stop that damn Dior and bring me his head!"
After making this order, Sammet thought for a while, and ordered again: "Order the whole army, change the marching route, turn right to the east...go to Sabutuna Ferry! I want to enter the Kadeshi battlefield!"
Naihe said in surprise: "Master, this is not in line with our plan."
"I understand," Sammet said sullenly, "that damned Dio has disrupted my plans. I must be there myself, and I cannot leave my fate to the foolish Hittites."
...
After Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi broke away from the Ptah Army, they made a big circle and then headed east.
"The Hittite scout under my control died." Bai Xiaowen suddenly trembled.
"Killed?"
"It should be. This further confirms my thoughts. There is a problem with Sammet. During the war, two enemy scouts are more valuable alive than dead." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Well... you're dead, don't worry about that. Look at what's in the treasure chest." Li Shuyi said.
"Hey, I didn't expect to drop a treasure chest by killing an ordinary template monster." Bai Xiaowen said with a smile while holding an ordinary treasure chest. Before, he reined in his horse and turned around to walk around Melu. It wasn't any weird curse ceremony, nor was he demonstrating or flogging the corpse. Instead, he found that Melu had dropped the treasure chest, so he went back to pick it up.
Bai Xiaowen wasn't as free and easy as the three strong men who chopped off the arms of the Balrog back then. The few drops of Balrog's bone marrow that fell would be rejected if they didn't want it... Mosquito legs are also meat.
The treasure chest is invisible to the eyes of people in the spirit world, so the infantry couldn't understand the meaning of Bai Xiaowen's turning back.
Open the treasure chest and score it as E-level - there is only one chance to draw, and there is a 2/3 chance of a bye.
Bai Xiaowen got 70 points of psionic power... It's better than nothing. He casually clicked a loot card.
Flipping the card, first seeing that it was not blank, Bai Xiaowen smiled.
Then, Bai Xiaowen got a prompt: "You got the equipment: cowhide boots."
This is an equipment-bound blue outfit with mediocre attributes, so neither of them can use it, but since it's bound, at least it can be sold for some money.
"Good start." Li Shuyi said with a smile. Taking out blue equipment from ordinary treasure chests, or binding blue equipment, no matter how you look at it, it is a small probability event, and the character explodes.
On the contrary, Bai Xiaowen was sighing: "It's over, a waste of character... According to the law of conservation of character, this time the character burst out of luck, I don't know how long it will take to recover..."
Li Shuyi gave Bai Xiaowen a white look.
Anyway, it's a good thing that it's shipped.
"How to go to Kadeshi City?" Li Shuyi asked.
"From the analysis of the world map, ancient Egypt is located in North Africa. This time, the pharaoh conquered the Syrian region, so the general direction is to go northeast. This is correct. The Ptah God's Legion went all the way north and attacked Ugarit. evidence……"
