"We have formed an alliance with the lizard people and must fight against the blasphemous usurper across the sea."

The joining of the two city-states, especially Astri, means the union of the two most powerful economies and the most powerful armed forces, leaving no room for resistance from other countries.

Immediately afterwards, Lebaras also agreed.

Neferata nodded. She was originally worried that the other party would start a war between the two countries after seeing her fighting with the devil.

But since the people of Lybalas are so sensible, she will not deal with the country where her little eagle has lived for decades.

The situation was settled, and the remaining kings and queens declined for more than ten minutes, almost as a show, and then agreed half-heartedly.

Watching the priests with ink drawing sacred runes with their fingers, the kings glanced at the date next to them.

This year marks the 105th year of Faceless Hasa, and it is also the 1,266th year in the history of Nehekhara.

Maybe starting from this year, Nehekhara will become different again.

After a simple meal, everyone returned to the place of rest.

Listen to the priests begin to recite the first verse, while at the same time, more acolytes begin to carve the sacred runes of the gods on the shroud.

They are not very skilled in their business. After all, Lamia has not had a formal funeral for a long time - if it is something Neferata values, it will soon be transformed into a vampire, and if she does not value it, it will soon turn into a vampire.

There is no need to waste that money and effort.

Because of this, the period of time before the coffin board was closed was extremely long. On the way, Alkadiza tried to speak to the kings.

"I will then teleport to Khemri for a brief coronation, and then launch the Northern Expedition to defeat the evil usurper Nagash who is entrenched on the other side of the sea."

"I believe that as long as the kings of all countries work together, all soldiers will be able to return home before the Year of Justice Fax arrives."

The kings remained silent, including Alkadiza's father.

They just waited in silence for the queen's body, whose head had been completely wrapped in the shroud, to be covered with the coffin board, and then they each returned to the palace city where they were entertained.

The time soon reached noon the next day.

Despite the scorching sun, the emotions of sadness and uneasiness seemed to form an invisible shroud shrouding the city of Lahmia.

The people in the city knelt on both sides of the road, watching the funeral procession with fear and anxiety.

Although after the gods lost contact with the kings, the current funeral ceremony no longer requires the proportion of nobles, slaves, and commoners to follow the king to the other side of eternal life, but the basic hierarchy of honor and inferiority is still practiced.

As the earth trembled, all the civilians kneeling on both sides could see that eight Ushabits, all five meters tall, lined up in a row, lifting the ebony coffin and slowly moving towards the Blood God outside the city.

Walk to the temple.

The queen's body will receive final treatment there, and then cross the river bank farther away and be sent to the pyramid where the Lahmian kings sleep.

At the end of the funeral procession, the Khemri King felt Neferata's soft body leaning on his back, and a soft murmur came to his ears.
