"Ask yourself, has this worldly pharaoh cared about God's demands!" On the steps of the Temple of Amon, the high priest Ponmaat roared, "These places where God sacrificed does not require him to spend any money. All the priests live with the remaining sacrifices (although there are many left, the high priest will not say such words). Our treasury also paid part of the surplus earned every year to the treasury. When you encounter difficulties in your life, the priest lends you money like a father (although the interest is a bit high). Now the City of God is suffering such an insult. A alien with a group of black-skinned untouchables.

He doesn't believe that God's agent can control the breathing of the Nile? If this idiot was sent by His Majesty Pharaoh, then I declare that from now on Thebes is no longer the spiritual temple of Pharaoh, nor the reserve of the kingdom, unless he bows his head to me, no, he apologizes to the gods of Thebes. Today is the day of God's punishment!" After saying that, Pemmaat shouted and raised his hand tremblingly, just as he was really communicating with Gods or the gods of the underworld. The tenants became furious. They held simple wooden spears, some carried knife and saws, and thousands of people carried the holy ships and statues, and under the guidance of the priests, rushed towards the direction of the new bridge of Libida.

But these noisy people did not notice at all. Within the distance between the jagged walls of Thebes and about five Furlongs between the bridge, the three thousand Medegis guards had already used shields and simple civil engineering at night to form a simple semicircular defense area around the bridgehead. What was even more lost was that Li Bida secretly brought the thirteenth legion troops. In the dark, the torches were like fireflies by the Nile River. "This is the location of the Pharaoh's legion. The person responsible for protecting the safety of the God of Serapis. If there are those who dare to invade, kill them without mercy!" At this time, Li Bida at the bridgehead said to Tagus beside him, "Tell everyone, don't be ruthless, the Pharaoh is the perfect god."

But thousands of temple tenants with torches had already entered a state of madness. They howled and killed all the avant-garde Medeje vans and rushed towards the bridgehead, "Don't hesitate, shoot me!" Alp was on the front line. He did not care about the timidity of ordinary Egyptians when they saw the statues of gods and priests, and blew a shrill bone whistle in the night sky. The first row of Medeje guards behind the shield and the wooden fence stood up and shouted and shot out the rockets in their hands. The rockets wrapped in asphalt and sulfur fell whizzingly into the lineup of the tenant riots. These people shouted that the dismantled door panels and wooden windows were blocking their heads. They stood up with burning protective gear and continued to charge one after another.

This happened to give the archers in the second and third rows the subsequent rain of arrows was much more sharp and accurate. The leading priests were shot through their bodies and foreheads and fell down in a thunderous manner. The Medegis guards there immediately provoked loudly in Coptic language, "Why are your priests not protecting them?" Then they pulled the bow and arrow and fired fiercely. When the first wave of arrows had not yet landed on the ground to kill, the second wave had already fallen in the air. The statue of the gods was crooked, and the ignorant tenants were corpses of the ignorant tenants. Then the cavalry cannons suddenly shot, without any warning. The stone bullets and javelins caused heavy casualties in the dense crowd. Not only the tenants, but even the priests who were pressing the formation behind them were shocked. They did not expect the Romans to use such a vicious means!

But the Romans' stone bullets had no intention of stopping their hands. They cut off rows of people's limbs and heads, and kept smashing dust on the ground. There were severely injured people everywhere, crawling around crying, and some people were still moving, and the falling arrow feathers pierced through their heads and necks cleanly, and they fell on the ground and never moved again.

"Pursuit, don't hesitate!" At this time, in the camp, Li Bida rode a white horse and suddenly appeared in front of the queue, ordering all the soldiers, "Draw the sword and run to chase these people. We are the Pharaoh's army, and we only obey the sacred orders of Pharaoh alone." When the stone was thrown, the Medejen Guard shouted, jumped out, holding the Habaishi sword in his hand and started killing. The crowd rushed back towards the city gate like a panic ants, and there were trampled and injured corpses everywhere.

Inexplicably, a corner of the city of Thebes began to catch fire, and the fire became more and more fierce. By the morning of the next day, one-quarter of the block had been turned into ruins and ashes. At about noon, more than two thousand Heyun Guards arrived at Kawabara, the northern part of the city, and merged with the more than three thousand Medegis guards, who were originally here, and set up camps at a corner of Thebes, which meant to besiege the City of God.

For two thousand years, Thebes had never encountered such a dilemma. Even the knowledgeable Pepmaat was stunned. All this happened like the bright sun above the sky. The Pharaoh army on the opposite side was blatantly besieging the city, burning the city, and killing more than a thousand tenants who went to arm the demonstration. Thousands of people were injured. They were lying in various temples, gardens, and squares, waiting for medicine and food. Every moment, people died of death.

At this time, outside the city, the centurion of the Libidaus army gathered the people who had been pulled away and publicly slandered Thebes, saying that the ancient gods of Thebes were no longer effective. If you want to watch them, our army will be able to level the entire city of God in three days. In order to show that they are not nonsense, Libida's army actually asked the craftsmen to accompany the army to tinker with a stupid, big, black and thick new weapon to siege. This weapon was made of huge cedar wood (it was originally planned to build a ship, but Libida asked him to transport ten), and then carefully hollowed out the middle, then lay iron plates inside, wrapped layers of animal skins on the outside, made a blower at the end, and installed a chariot and four wheels below, which was crossed under the wall of Thebes.

What is this? Such a stupid, big, black and thick thing is actually used to attack the City of Gods?

The priests felt that the whole world was about to collapse.

Libidaus sent an ultimatum, "If the submission envoy is not sent to come tomorrow, half of the city of Thebes." This tone, like the mysterious weapon, was stupid, big, black, thick and hard.

When many priests gathered at Penmaart and listened to the high priest's decision on the future situation, he was respectful and sat blankly on the chair without saying a word. He really didn't know whether to surrender or insist on fighting.

In the end, he just issued an ambiguous order, "Let the northwest corner strengthen the garrison and protect the crossbow of the alien general. Wait for a market day for the time being," then the tenant army in Thebes began to repair the collapsed and burnt northwest walls, and erected many linen curtains to defend against the Romans' stone bullets and arrows.
