Chapter 415 Andromeda Failed

Phineus and the nobles were willing to leave because they had no better options.

Faced with the war launched by Queen Nafir of Egypt against the Hyksos, they stayed to die.

After Phineus left the palace with the nobles, Cepheus stood up and left the throne, walked to Roy and asked.

"I leave the future destiny of the Hyksos to you, how will you treat us?"

"I will not exploit the Hyksos as slaves, nor will I allow the Hyksos to continue to enjoy the treatment of high castes. The Hyksos must give up their Aryan nomadic traditions and become like the Egyptians." Become a farming nation.”

As a branch of the ancient Aryans, the Hyksos have always implemented the prototype of the caste system.

After they migrate to a place and conquer the local ethnic group, the king and priests will become the highest caste Brahmins, the nobles will become the second caste Kshatriya, and the common people will become the third caste Vaishya, responsible for serving as landowners, merchants, and soldiers, and the conquered locals will The ethnic group became the fourth caste, Shudras, and they held occupations such as farmers and herdsmen responsible for productive labor.

The Hyksos now ruled the Egyptians using a caste system.

After the Egyptians conquered the Hyksos in turn, would they also use the caste system to enslave the Hyksos?

This is what worries Cepus the most.

In the history of another world, the Light Tribe enslaved the Egyptians together with the Hyksos. Therefore, after the Egyptians conquered the Hyksos and the Light Tribe, both the Hyksos and the Light Tribe were enslaved by the Egyptians. , this is the mythical prototype of the leader of the Light Tribe leading his tribe to migrate and leave Egypt for the Phoenician region.

Historical facts have proven that the Egyptians would not retaliate with kindness, they would retaliate against the Hyksos for enslaving them.

“You want us Hyksos to become a farming people——”

Cepus said with a frown.

"My dear son! Since you are going to marry Andromeda, you can trust us Hyksos as you trust your own people. There are too many Egyptians, and we Hyksos can help You rule the Egyptians together.”

"Are you treating me like a child?"

Roy sneered and teased Cefus.

"If you are still stubborn and want me to treat you Hyksos preferentially, then I would rather let the Egyptians destroy the Hyksos. In Egypt, a land of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of Hyksos Whether this person exists or disappears makes no difference to me.

After hearing Roy's words, Andromeda immediately persuaded Cefus.

"Father! It is the best outcome for us Hyksos to continue to survive as civilians in Egypt. If Roy is unwilling to save us, our end will be either to be wiped out by the Egyptians, or to be turned into slaves by the Egyptians. "

"I know……"

Cefus said with a complicated expression.

"I just want to fight for a better life for my people."

"Then let me tell you clearly now! There are various ethnic groups living in the huge territory of the Athenian Empire. I will not rely on one ethnic group to rule other ethnic groups. I will use the laws of the Athenian Empire to maintain my rule. Except With me as the center of the royal family, no one is above the law. As long as my laws and policies can make the lives of the Athenians better and better, I have no worries about problems with my rule."

After responding to Cefus, Roy looked at Andromeda and said.

"Andromeda, you have lived in the city of Athens for a few months, and you should be very clear about the policies of the Athenian Empire. Now I leave the management of the Hyksos to you. If you cannot complete the management of the Hyksos, Transform, and I will not only abandon the Hyksos, but I will abandon you as well.”

After saying that, Roy turned and left the hall.

After Andromeda, King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia were the only ones left in the hall, Cassiopeia complained dissatisfiedly.

"How could he do this to my daughter? My daughter is willing to marry him, so he should hold my daughter in his hands and love her."

After hearing her mother's words, Andromeda said with a wry smile.

"Mother, there are so many women around Roy, and I don't have much status in his heart. He is willing to accept me just to use me to rule the Hyksos and Northern Egyptians."

"My daughter is so beautiful, doesn't he love you at all?"

Andromeda shook her head, and Cassiopeia said immediately.

"If he doesn't love you, why did you marry him?"

Andromeda said firmly.

"As a princess of the Hyksos, I want to save my tribe, and the only way is to marry Loy. As Andromeda, I must marry the most powerful ruler in the world, so that I The child was born into the most powerful royal family in the world.”

Then Andromeda begged Cepheus.

"Father, in order for me to be favored by Roy, please help me complete the transformation of the Hyksos. If we cannot complete Roy's request, even if we Hyksos are not wiped out, we will become Become a slave. Even if I survive, I will lose my status as a princess and cannot marry a powerful king and give birth to princes and princesses.”

"How could it be! Even if Roy doesn't want to marry you, there is still Perseus who is willing to marry you. Although Perseus was driven out of the Peloponnese by Roy, he now brings the Mycenaeans with him. Conquered the Illyrians in the western Balkans and established a kingdom of Mycenae with an area of ​​15,000 square kilometers. As long as you are willing to marry Perseus, Perseus will definitely let you be his queen."

"Mother, you don't know anything about Perseus."

Andromeda explained helplessly.

"Loy deliberately did not destroy Perseus! When Perseus transforms the Illyrians into a farming people, Loy will take away Perseus' territory again."

Seeing that Cassiopeia did not believe her daughter's words, Cepheus said to Andromeda.

"Child! In order for you to be happy, I will do my best to help you. My daughter and grandson are also my blood. I will help you get Roy's favor so that my grandson can become the heir to the Athens Empire."

the next day.

Cepheus and Andromeda began to implement the policies of the Athenian Empire in the territory of the Hyksos.

Phineus and the nobles also began to migrate with their families, property and followers.

After the common people of the Hyksos learned that they had lost the treatment of the third caste and had to rely on their own labor to obtain food, they immediately gathered at the palace to protest.

Andromeda personally communicated with these Hyksos and told them that the Egyptians would launch a war to conquer the Hyksos.

If the Hyksos did not want to become slaves to the Egyptians, they had to be protected by the Athenian empire.

If the Hyksos wanted to be protected by the Athenian Empire, they had to accept the rule of the Athenian Empire and implement the laws and policies of the Athenian Empire.

Although Andromeda cited the Egyptian threat of war as justification, the Hyksos civilians were unwilling to lose the treatment they had enjoyed in the past.

After all, no normal person would give up the interests they have always had without a knife on their neck.
