I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 420 I Give You Two Choices

1,700 years ago, when the Hyksos migrated to Egypt, their population was only tens of thousands, and they were mainly young and strong men.

Now, a hundred years later, the population of the Hyksos has increased several times to more than 100,000 people, and there are a large number of elderly people, children and women.

Without a lot of time to prepare, it is obviously unrealistic to want to migrate more than 100,000 Hyksos.

So when Roy and Nefer came to Avaris with an army of 100,000, the king of the Hyksos, Cepheus, chose to surrender.

Because resistance would not only make the Hyksos sacrifice in vain, but also cause revenge from the Egyptians.

Cepheus did not regret the result of the Hyksos being conquered by the Egyptians.

Because since 20 years ago, branches of the Hyksos have been migrating to other areas.

Mycenae King Akrisius, led the Mycenaeans, a branch of the Hyksos, to migrate to the Peloponnese Peninsula.

Bellerophon and his followers migrated to the Lycian region of the Asia Minor Peninsula, and became the son-in-law and heir to the throne of King Iobates of Lycia.

Phineus also migrated with tens of thousands of his people to the ancient Babylonian Kingdom ruled by their fellow tribesmen, the Amorites, a branch of the ancient Aryans.

Cepheus believed that under the leadership of Perseus, Bellerophon and Phineus, the descendants of the ancient Aryans who worshipped Zeus would continue their glorious history under the protection of Zeus.

Avaris City.

After Nefer's Egyptian soldiers took over the palace, Roy and Nefer entered the palace together.

Palace Hall.

Roy held Nefer and sat on the throne. King Cepheus, Queen Cassiopeia, Princess Andromeda, John, the leader of the Light Clan, and Ramses II, the representative of the Ramses family, all stood in the center of the hall like captives.

Cepheus looked up at Nefer and said fearlessly.

"Young Queen Nefer, since I did not resist, I hope you can treat us Hyksos well."

"The Hyksos came to Egypt, but they did not treat us Egyptians well."

Nefer sneered and mocked.

"You have enslaved the Egyptians for more than a hundred years. How dare I treat the Hyksos well? According to my husband Roy's proposal, I will demote you Hyksos to slaves, let your men dig the Suez Canal, and all the women become weaving slaves."

Hearing Nefer's words, Cepheus immediately glared at Roy with angry eyes.

"Aren't you going to be my son-in-law? How can you do this to us?"

"Don't resent Roy."

Nefer said dissatisfiedly.

"If it weren't for Roy's proposal, I would have made you Hyksos slaves for generations. According to Roy's proposal, you only need to work for five years to regain your freedom, so you should all thank Roy."

Roy said with a bright smile.

"Father-in-law, just because I am your son-in-law, you and mother-in-law can be treated preferentially. Not only do you not have to become slave river workers and weaving slaves, you can continue to enjoy the life of the royal family."

Cassiopeia immediately breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded her husband.

"Dear, this is already a very good result, let's accept it!"

Andromeda also persuaded Cepheus.

"Father! If we make Roy angry, our family of three will be reduced to slaves."

Cepheus looked at his wife, then at his daughter, and finally sighed helplessly.

Although Cepheus wanted to fight for the rights of the Hyksos, he could not sacrifice his wife and daughter as a price.

Seeing that Cepheus accepted Nefer's arrangement for the Hyksos, John, the leader of the Light Tribe, immediately said to Nefer.

"Great Queen Nefer, we, the Light Tribe, are different from the Hyksos. We, the Light Tribe, have not committed the crime of enslaving the Egyptians. I hope you can rule us as you rule the Egyptians, and we, the Light Tribe, will support your rule."

Without waiting for Nefer to respond, Roy spoke first.

"Chief John, I want to ask you, why did you, the Light Tribe, come to Egypt?"

"Because the land east of the Nile and west of the Jordan River is a beautiful land given to us by the great Almighty God."

"Then who do you thank for living in Egypt for more than a hundred years?"

"We thank the great Almighty God for his grace."

"You are not thanking the Hyksos for accepting you, nor are you thanking the real owner of the land of Egypt, but you are thanking Almighty God. If Almighty God is really so great, can you pray to Almighty God now to prevent the Light Tribe from becoming slaves?"

John was immediately speechless.

Because as the leader of the Light Tribe and the high priest serving Almighty God, John knew better than anyone that the omnipotence of Almighty God was used to deceive others, not to deceive oneself.

Seeing John's reaction, Roy continued.

"Chief John, I will give you two choices now. If you, the Light Clan, are willing to abandon Almighty God, you only need to work as slaves for five years to become citizens of the Athenian Empire. If you, the Light Clan, are unwilling to abandon Almighty God, you must work as slaves for ten years. After ten years, you will be expelled from the territory of the Athenian Empire."

"You asked us to abandon the great Almighty God--"

"If you are not satisfied with this result, then let the omniscient and omnipotent Almighty God come down to save your Light Clan and punish me, the demon king!"

John suppressed the anger in his heart and finally gritted his teeth and said.

"We, the Light Tribe, will not abandon the great Almighty God, so I chose the Light Tribe to work as a slave for ten years and then leave the territory of the Athens Empire."

At this time, John would not have thought that ten years later, he would move to the southern part of Africa with the Light Tribe.

When John married a local woman and gave birth to a son named Black John, the Almighty God worshiped by the Light people began to gradually turn dark.

After making arrangements for the Light Clan, Roy looked at Ramses II.

"Ramses, how do you, the Ramses family, choose?"

Ramses II pretended to be confused, knelt on the ground and said to Roy and Nafir.

"Your Majesty Roy! Queen Nafir! We, the Ramses family, are Egyptians. Although we live under the rule of the Hyksos, we have always longed for your Majesty and the Queen to save us."

"But it is true that you are loyal to the Hyksos!"

Roy said jokingly.

"I give you the same choice as Leader John. If your Ramses family chooses to abandon the Sun God Ra, the Ramses family only needs to work as slaves for five years before they can become a civilian family in the Athenian Empire. If you don't want to abandon the Sun God La, then you will work as slaves for ten years and then leave the territory of the Athenian Empire.”

After listening to Roy's words, Ramses II looked at Nafir with pleading eyes and said.

"Queen Nafir, our Ramses family has always been loyal to the Pharaoh family. Your father and brother have received letters of loyalty from our Ramses family."

"But I haven't received it."

Nafir said expressionlessly.

"For traitors like you who serve the Hyksos, Roy is willing to give you a way to survive, but you are still dissatisfied."
