Chapter 414 The Hyksos Split in Two

"You want us Hyksos to surrender to you—"

Cepheus was not angry when he heard Roy's request.

Because now the Hyksos are on the verge of national subjugation and annihilation.

As long as Nafir's 100,000 troops attack the Hyksos, the Hyksos will disappear into history.

Cefus sighed with a complicated expression.

"More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors of the Hyksos conquered northern and central Egypt and made the southern Egyptians surrender to us. The king of the Hyksos became the king of the entire Egypt. The southern Egyptians came from We here learned to make more advanced bronze weapons and chariots, and we learned battlefield tactics from us. However, the Egyptians in the south not only did not appreciate us, but instead used the weapons and chariots that we, the Hyksos, taught them to make. We have reached the point where we, the Hyksos, are going to be completely defeated. If the Egyptians conquer us, they will definitely turn us Hyksos into slaves as revenge for our Hyksos conquering the Egyptians. For the future of our Hyksos people, I can let you inherit the throne as my son-in-law and become the new King of Hyksos."

"I object!"

A Hyksos noble stood up immediately and said.

"We are a group that worships the male god Zeus, not a group that worships the goddess. Even if the king's son-in-law can inherit the throne, it should be after all the king's sons and brothers are dead. Your Majesty Cepus! Your brother Phineus is a great hero and his right to the throne should be higher than that of Princess Andromeda."

The opposition of the nobles was completely expected by Cepheus.

Cepheus looked at Phineus calmly and said.

"Phineus, do you want to inherit the throne and take on the responsibility of leading the Hyksos?"

It is of course impossible to say that Phineus has no idea about the throne.

But now that the Hyksos are on the verge of annihilation, Phineus does not believe that he has the ability to turn the tide.

Phineus felt unwilling to give up the throne like this.

At this moment, Roy said with a joking smile.

"Father-in-law, I have something to say. After I become the King of the Hyksos, I will rule the Hyksos with the policies of the Athenian Empire. In the Athenian Empire, except for the royal family centered on me, everyone else is Common people. So under my rule, the nobles of the Hyksos will lose their noble status and become common people, and lose the properties they acquired with their noble status and privileges."

Only a small group of nobles originally opposed Roy's becoming King of the Hyksos.

At this time, hearing that Roy said that the nobles would be deprived of their status and property, almost all the nobles stood up and opposed Roy's succession to the throne.

Cefus couldn't help but frown and said.

"Loy, why do you want to deprive the nobles of their identity and property? Our royal family and the nobles have a common ancestor, and they are all worthy of our trustworthy helpers. Do you want to rule the Athens Empire alone?"

"Father-in-law! Perhaps the royal family and nobles of the Hyksos do have a common ancestor, but they have nothing to do with me. There is no reason for me to let them become nobles of the Athenian Empire."

Roy said with a smile.

"Now my father-in-law can make a choice! If my father-in-law chooses to be a commoner of the Hyksos, then hand over your throne to me and abandon these nobles who share a common ancestor with you. If my father-in-law chooses to share common ancestors with you, Nobles of my ancestors, I will leave your palace immediately and stand with Queen Nefer of Egypt. Because the Hyksos refuse to surrender to me, your daughter Andromeda will also be disqualified from marrying me. "

After hearing Roy's words, Andromeda hurriedly said to Cepus who was hesitating.

"Father! Without Roy's help, we Hyksos will be defeated by Queen Nafir of Egypt. When we Hyksos become slaves of the Egyptians, our royal family and nobles will Not only will our current status, power and wealth be lost, but our lives and freedom will also be lost.”

Cefus had a shaken expression on his face, and finally he asked Roy.

"Loy, can you accept that I divide the Hyksos people into two? I can hand over the throne to you and make you the new King of the Hyksos, but you must agree with Phineus and the nobles to lead leaving with their families, property and followers."

Seeing the pleading look in Cefus's eyes, Roy nodded and said.

"I agree."

After hearing Roy's answer, Cepheus smiled happily and said to Phineus and the nobles.

"My dear brother Phineus! Dear nobles! We Hyksos have survived in Egypt for more than a hundred years. Now it is impossible to lead hundreds of thousands of people to migrate. The people of light who worship Almighty God, I have decided to stay in Egypt. For the future of my people, I must lead my people to join the Athenian Empire. If you don’t want to lose your aristocratic status, power and wealth, you can take your family, wealth and followers with you. , Let’s go to the Kingdom of Babylon, ruled by our own people!”

"I don't want to be ruled by this Athenian."

Phineus gritted his teeth and looked at Roy and said.

"This Athenian was the enemy of the great god-king Zeus. He toppled the statue of Zeus in the Peloponnese and drove the god-king Zeus from his seat as the patron saint of Argos. Making him king of the Hyksos, he He will definitely drive the god-king Zeus off his throne as the patron saint of the Hyksos."

"You're right!"

Roy admitted frankly with a smile.

"I pushed down the statue of Zeus in the Peloponnese and drove Zeus off the throne of the patron god of Argos. After I inherited the throne of the King of Hyksos, the first thing I had to do was to drive Zeus off the throne of the patron god of the Hyksos. Because the Athenian Empire only welcomes unmarried goddesses to join, not male gods and married goddesses."

After Roy finished speaking, a noble said immediately.

"This Athenian not only wants to deprive us nobles of our status, power and wealth, but also wants to drive our god king Zeus off the throne. I don't want to be ruled by him."

Then more and more nobles said.

"Me too!"

"I would rather leave here than be ruled by him."

"Prince Phineus, we are willing to worship you as the new King of Hyksos, please take us away!"

In the end, all the nobles chose to leave with their families, property and followers.

Faced with the support of many nobles, Phineus hesitated for a moment and said with a firm face.

"Since you are willing to trust me, I will take you with me to migrate. Whether we go to join our fellow tribesmen in the Kingdom of Babylon or migrate to other places, I guarantee that you will still have the status and power of nobles."

Hearing Phineus' words, the nobles immediately cheered enthusiastically.

Unfortunately, they did not know that this era no longer belonged to the Aryans who worshipped Zeus, the god of thunder, but to the Aryans who worshipped the sun god.

Only by migrating thousands of miles to the Indian region in South Asia could they once again become conquerors and rulers.
