Chapter 488: Battle of the Pyramids
The next day, before the entire Suez was cleared, Li Yuanhong led the army, driving tanks and armored vehicles, and marched toward Cairo in a mighty manner.
Cairo is the capital of Egypt, but more importantly, this city has a history of more than 5,000 years and is known as the "Mother of Cities". Before the end of the world, it was an important economic and political center in the Middle East, and there are many surrounding it. Historical monuments, such as the Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx, are not far from Luocheng.
Due to the above reasons, Cairo’s population is considered a super city in the Middle East, reaching nearly 8 million. Moreover, due to its ancient history, various buildings in the entire city are mixed together. New and modern buildings are surrounded by layers of old-fashioned ancient buildings. , and the ancient Arabic architecture is mixed among various residential buildings.
Because of the mixed buildings throughout the city of Cairo, when the apocalypse first occurred, many people were trapped in the maze of the city and were unable to escape. Only some people escaped by running into the Nile River and swimming down the river. But more people died at the bottom of the river.
Now the entire city is controlled by the Pharaoh, and the zombies in the city are also controlled by the Pharaoh. At the beginning, the Necromancer clan united with several other forces to jointly attack the earth, and promised this force to let them control the zombies near its portal, which meant that the command of the zombies was handed over to the force where the portal is located.
In fact, this is a trick of the undead. They use these zombies to control the movements of various forces. Once each force obtains any ancient artifacts, they will know the situation immediately, and they can even steal these artifacts secretly.
It's just that all the forces are not stupid, and they will not let these zombies participate in any important operations. At most, they will use the zombies as coolies.
After the Pharaoh returned to Cairo, he ordered the high priest to start researching ways to turn zombies into mummies, but the effect was not good. However, turning animals into mummies was successful, but the combat effectiveness of the animals turned into mummies was weakened. , so the one million animal mummies were sent to Best.
At this time, the entire Cairo has become an outskirts, full of roaming zombies, and a huge stone city has been built inside. There are kobolds with guns standing on the walls, and some mummies are patrolling. Going further into the inner city, the road It was densely covered with all kinds of bugs and poisonous snakes. These were the warriors of the entire city. There was not a single living person or zombie in the city.
However, the atmosphere in the city is not very right at this time. The high priest has been moving frequently in the past two days. He even left the city in a hurry this morning and took away many teams, especially the mummies he created. Almost all of them were taken away by the high priest. .
When the pharaoh knew that the high priest had left the city, he felt something was wrong and quickly sent someone to check his treasure house. Sure enough, the three holy objects that had been found were all missing. Now the pharaoh was furious.
"This bastard, he's going to rebel, someone is coming, someone is coming!"
The Pharaoh's roar echoed throughout the palace hall.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" The guard on duty at the entrance of the hall ran over.
"Come for Abinus!" Pharaoh shouted with a livid face.
"Yes!" The guard didn't dare to say anything and hurried down to deliver the order.
Soon after, Albinus came over.
"I wonder what your Majesty wants from me?" Abinus bowed and saluted respectfully.
"The high priest rebelled. He betrayed me and stole our clan's sacred treasure. I order you to lead an army of one million zombies and bring the sacred object back to me!" Pharaoh gritted his teeth.
"But Your Majesty the Pharaoh, those zombies can only use some normal attacks. The priest took away more than just mummies. His mummies are all elites and super mutants. Our army of one million may not be worthy of it." He surpassed his army of 100,000 mummies." Abinus lowered his head and said.
"Damn high priest, you secretly tampered with the mummy. Then I will give you another million zombies, and another 10,000 vulture troops. You should be able to get the artifact back this way!" Pharaoh said in a sinister voice. He said that if Abinus dared to bargain again at this time, the Pharaoh might kill Abinus first.
Of course Abinus would not get into trouble with this, so he quickly bowed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, as you wish, I will definitely bring the artifact back to you."
After saying that, Abinus turned around and left the hall.
At this time, in a stone chamber at the top of the Pyramid of Khufu, the high priest took out the three artifacts he had obtained and placed them on a wall of the stone chamber. On this wall was a statue of the god painted on it. Ra, the greatest ancient god of Egypt.
However, there are two holes in the eyes of Ra at this time. Obviously, the statue of Ra is not complete.
"Oh, there is no other way. It seems we can only find some substitutes!" The high priest muttered, and took out two gems from his arms. Each of these two gems was red, like burning flames. The other one exudes milky white light.
The high priest placed the red gem on the left eye of the statue, and the milky white gem on the left eye of the statue.
Just when the high priest placed the milky white gem at his right eye, the entire pyramid vibrated, and a beam of light shot out from the top of the pyramid into the sky.
But the beam of light did not last long before it dissipated. However, a virtual statue appeared below the statue. At this time, the statue was floating on the ground.
When the priest saw this, he finally smiled. It seemed that his plan was successful. As long as he thought of a way to sacrifice the blood to this pyramid, he could summon the ancient gods to possess him, and then he would be invincible.
And now this virtual statue is the control device for controlling the pyramid weapons. As long as this weapon is there, even if the pharaoh sends a mechanical dragon over, the high priest is not afraid.
Everything was going according to plan. Just when the high priest thought he had a chance to win, he didn't realize that the light of the two gems on the statue was much dimmed.
The light from the pyramid alarmed Li Yuanhong, who was a hundred kilometers away.
"What kind of light is that? Did the portal open in advance?" Li Yuanhong was shocked.
"Quick, the motorcade is heading in the direction of the light just now." Li Yuanhong ordered the motorcade to change direction slightly.
The convoy quickly changed direction and headed straight for the pyramid.
In another pyramid, Abinus also set off from Cairo with an army of two million zombies and went straight to the pyramid. When the pyramid emitted light, Abinus also saw it, which made Abinus Shocked.
"Has the priest already opened the statue of Ra?"
Although Abinus did not fully understand the full function of this pyramid, he learned from the records of family sacrificial rituals that this pyramid is an important facility for summoning the gods, and in order to prevent malicious damage, there are also protective weapons. It can be said that this The pyramid is a strong fortress.
But Abinus had to carry out the Pharaoh's orders. Those who disobeyed the Pharaoh's will would have a bad end. Although there were many mentions of rebellion in ancient Egyptian records, most of them were the result of the death of the whole family.
As the zombie team gradually approached the pyramid, they saw an army of hundreds of thousands of mummies surrounding the pyramid from a distance, protecting it.
There is nothing more to say at this time. Only by eliminating these obstructive mummies can we find the high priest. So Abinus waved his hand, and the zombie army began to attack the mummy.
Both sides are basically cannon fodder. There are no skills to speak of when fighting each other. They just use claws, bites, and kicks. Anyway, a set of tools for close combat are used.
Because this mummy is blessed by magic on the shroud, its protective power is stronger than that of zombies. It has a certain advantage in attacking zombies in the early stage, so at the beginning, it is basically the mummy that suppresses the zombies.
But as the zombie team kept up, the number of zombies exceeded that of the mummy. This resulted in a situation where multiple zombies were fighting against one mummy at the same time. Soon, the mummy began to lose.
Abinus, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at the fight between zombies and mummies in boredom. Both sides now had hundreds of thousands of casualties, and every corpse was mutilated. The scene was extremely bloody, but Abinus I don't feel anything about it, I just feel a little bored.
In such a battle, he would definitely win. Although the mummy would kill several zombies before dying, he had more people. These low-level zombie cannon fodder would die as soon as they died. Abinus didn't feel sorry for him at all. .
The battle has lasted for almost an hour, and there are very few mummies left in the army. Moreover, the zombie forward has already approached the pyramid. As long as he works harder, this victory will belong to him.
Abinus was imagining that he would be rewarded by the Pharaoh, but suddenly he saw a dazzling light coming from the top of the pyramid, and then a beam of light swept down. The zombies that were still rushing towards the pyramid were directly swept by the beam of light, and then the zombies disappeared As if evaporating, the body quickly rotted and died. When the light beam passed, only white bones were left in the desert, and the zombies and mummies were gone.
Abinus was shocked by what he saw. This beam of light swept in a circle, and all living things within two kilometers disappeared. Fortunately, Abinus was standing far away, otherwise he might have died in this beam of light.
Abinus was frightened for a while. The defense of this pyramid was too abnormal. No wonder the high priest and the pharaoh said that even the gods were not afraid after mastering the artifact.
In that attack just now, nearly half of the zombie army he brought was inside. Now he only has less than 800,000 zombies under his command. At this time, Abinus was in trouble and didn't know whether he should continue the attack.
Looking at the empty sand in front of the pyramid, and then at the silent pyramid, Abinus gritted his teeth and sent out an army of 100,000 zombies, rushing towards the pyramid. Abinus only hoped that the light from the pyramid would , it is just a one-time use, or the charging time is very long, so that your zombie army can rush into the pyramid.
