Chapter 4664 4667 [King of Kings]
In ancient Egypt, kneeling was the most solemn etiquette.
When courtiers met the Pharaoh, they would kneel down and kiss the dust at his feet. If they were allowed to kiss his toes, it would mean supreme honor.
Because at that time, the Pharaoh liked to mythify himself, saying that he was the incarnation of God and the spokesperson of God on earth. Bowing down to him and kissing his toes was equivalent to close contact with God.
Just as the princes and ministers came forward one after another to kneel down to Xiang Nan, suddenly Seti I's son Apis took out a sharp dagger from his waist and stabbed Xiang Nan's lower abdomen with lightning speed.
"Despicable betrayer, hateful blasphemer, you want to use sorcery to seize the throne, do you think your conspiracy can succeed?" He stabbed Xiang Nan hard and cursed loudly.
When everyone saw this scene, they were shocked and stunned, expectant and surprised.
They all thought that Xiang Nan was doomed to die after being stabbed. In this way, the coup will end hastily, and everything will return to normal.
They even began to regret that they had kneeled too early. I wonder if Seti I will settle accounts with them after he resumes the throne?
But at this moment, Xiang Nan smiled slightly and pushed Apis away with one hand.
Apis was pushed out more than 20 meters involuntarily and hit the wall directly.
Such a long distance made everyone present stunned.
"Yes, there are still some hard bones." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Otherwise I would be disappointed."
If a nation is all soft bones, when the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, no one dares to come out to oppose, then this nation is incurable. Fortunately, there are still one or two loyal ministers and filial sons.
As he said, Xiang Nan took out the dagger stuck in his belly, and saw that the dagger was made of bronze. It was not only sharp, but also inlaid with gold and jade, like an exquisite handicraft.
Everyone was stunned.
Apis stabbed Xiang Nan so hard, but he didn't leave any marks on him, not even a white spot. It seems that Xiang Nan's body is harder than bronze.
"It's a pity that I am the incarnation of God, you can't kill me." Xiang Nan said, put the dagger into his mouth, and chewed it.
In a moment, a bronze dagger inlaid with gold and jade was eaten by Xiang Nan like chewing sugarcane.
Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely surprised and speechless.
"You are not a human, you are a demon, you are a devil!" Apis screamed in fear, and his spirit collapsed a little.
Xiang Nan snapped his fingers.
Apis immediately turned into a camel.
"He dared to be rude to the gods, I will turn him into a camel now, and punish him to fetch water for the palace in the future. He can only recover after pulling a thousand carts!" Xiang Nan said.
"Great Pharaoh, the incarnation of God, the spokesperson of God, you are so kind! I am honored to serve a Pharaoh like you." Immediately, a minister came forward and kissed Xiang Nan's toes enthusiastically.
"I am also extremely honored to be your minister!"
"You are the only incarnation of God in the world, you are the king of kings, the ruler of the earth, I swear to be loyal to you forever!"
Other princes and ministers followed suit and rushed to kneel before Xiang Nan.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing.
...
After gaining the loyalty of the ministers, Xiang Nan temporarily stabilized the situation in Thebes.
Then he found Princess Nefidili and took the box and key containing the bracelet of death from her.
The bracelet of death is the artifact given to the Scorpion King by the god of death Anubis.
The Scorpion King Meseus sacrificed his soul and received this gift. He promised Anubis that as long as he defeated the powerful enemy, he would dedicate his soul to him.
Anubis then gave him the bracelet of death, which could summon the army of Anubis, the god of death. They were brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, and could only be killed by head injuries.
Such an army could be said to be invincible. With this army, the Scorpion King unified Egypt and became the supreme king. But as he realized his wish, Anubis also took his soul.
From then on, the Scorpion King became a monster with a human head and a scorpion body, imprisoned in the depths of the Amshe Oasis. His bracelet of death was also obtained by the Egyptian pharaoh.
Legend has it that with the guidance of the bracelet of death, the Amshe Oasis can be found. If the Scorpion King is successfully defeated, the power to control the army of Anubis will be obtained.
Pharaohs of all generations dreamed of defeating the Scorpion King, but no one succeeded. Either they could not find the Amshe Oasis, or those who went there could not return.
Therefore, Seti I decided to put away the bracelet of death, ordered people to protect it, and did not allow anyone to touch it.
But Xiang Nan still wanted to challenge the Scorpion King.
This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:吧!! Update!
Although he could unify the world without the help of Anubis' army. But having this power is much better than having nothing.
And this power is much safer in his hands than in the hands of others.
Every Scorpion Year, the Scorpion King will wake up once, and then he can bring the bracelet of death and know the way to the Amshe Oasis.
Ancient Egypt, like the Central Plains, also had zodiac years, but the zodiac signs were different, namely bull, goat, monkey, donkey, scorpion, snake, dog, rat, crocodile, flamingo, lion, eagle, etc.
This year is the Year of the Donkey, and next year is the Year of the Scorpion, so we have to wait for several months.
…
The next day, Xiang Nan officially issued an edict to depose Seti I and take over the position of Pharaoh.
This move shocked the people of Thebes and even Egypt, who did not understand why there was such a big change.
Morna and Abbas, the governors of Semna in Upper Egypt and Saqqara in Lower Egypt, denied Xiang Nan's position as Pharaoh and announced that they would lead troops to defend the king.
Morna was Seti I's cousin, and Abbas was Seti I's second son. They both had ideas about the position of Pharaoh, so they decided to lead troops to defend the king.
Xiang Nan received the news quickly, but did not care, but continued to order people to prepare for his wedding with Ansuna.
"My dear, Morna's 20,000 troops have already reached Hierakonpolis, and Abbas's 30,000 troops have already reached Tinis, but you are still not ready to mobilize troops for defense. When the time comes, they will be at the gates of the city, what should we do?" Ansuna asked worriedly.
That was an army of 50,000, not just a hundred Medgar warriors, or a thousand-plus Royal City guards.
If there weren't enough soldiers to defend, even the impregnable Thebes couldn't stop the siege of 50,000 troops.
But Xiang Nan didn't care about the army that was about to arrive, and was still preparing for her wedding. She felt romantic and happy, but also had a deep sense of crisis.
After all, once the army captured Thebes, she and Xiang Nan would probably have no way out.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm a god, no one can kill me." Xiang Nan smiled at her.
