I was a priest in the city-state era

Roy was not optimistic about the results of Andromeda's transformation of the Hyksos and Alasia's transformation of the Phoenicians.

After all, the knife was not really on the neck, and it was unrealistic to expect the Hyksos and Phoenicians to give up their original interests.

The history of another world can also prove that only when the knife is on the neck can the entire ethnic group be transformed.

The Light Tribe is an example.

When the Pharaoh Ahmose of the South Egyptians led the South Egyptians to conquer Northern Egypt, the Light Tribe did not take the initiative to leave Egypt.

Didn't the Light Tribe know that as accomplices of the Hyksos' rule over Egypt, they would inevitably be retaliated by the Egyptians?

No - the Light Tribe certainly knew that they would be retaliated by the Egyptians.

But before the knife was on the neck, the Light Tribe was lucky and thought that the Egyptians might treat them well.

As a result, after the Egyptians conquered the Hyksos and the Light Tribe, the Light Tribe was enslaved by the Egyptians for hundreds of years.

It was not until the Egyptians had civil strife that the Light Tribe seized this opportunity and fled Egypt under the leadership of the prophet.

Roy asked Andromeda and Alasiya to reform the Hyksos and Phoenicians, just to give them a chance to avoid war.

If Andromeda and Alasiya failed, the final result could not be blamed on Roy, because Roy had done his best.

When Alasiya summoned the Phoenician nobles and wanted to reform the Phoenicians——

Roy left Itavi City and rushed to the Sun City alone.

Sun City.

As the outpost of the Egyptians' attack on the Hyksos, the Egyptian Queen Nefer had assembled an army of 100,000 here.

The 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry formed by Aries had also arrived here at this time.

When Roy came here, he first found Aries outside the Sun City and inspected Aries' 5,000 troops.

After confirming that the 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry formed by Aries could meet his requirements, Roy entered the Sun City to meet Nefer.

The palace of the Sun City.

Nefer was holding a military meeting in the palace hall.

When Roy entered the hall, he saw Nafir sitting on the throne, with hundreds of generals sitting on both sides of the hallway.

Seeing Roy's figure, Nafir on the throne immediately opened his eyes wide and said with an unhappy expression.

"You are finally here. I thought you didn't treat me as your wife and didn't want to fulfill your husband's responsibilities to me."

Under the gaze of hundreds of generals, Roy walked up to Nafir and explained.

"I want to avoid this war as much as possible, so I went to Avaris and Itaw City first to let the Hyksos and Phoenicians join my Athenian Empire."

"Did you succeed?"

Roy shook his head, and Nafir immediately teased.

"The Hyksos, Phoenicians, and the Light Tribe - these foreign ethnic groups have enslaved the northern Egyptians for more than a hundred years. How could they give up their current lives and join your Athenian Empire to become ordinary civilians. Since you have come to my side, it means that you have made up your mind to conquer them with me."

Roy nodded and said.

"Only when I put the Egyptians' knives on their necks will they accept my transformation."

"These foreign ethnic groups have enslaved us Egyptians for more than a hundred years. Now I want to retaliate and transform them into a slave group that will serve the Egyptians for generations."

"No!"

After hearing Nafel's plan, Roy immediately objected.

"Nafel! Although I can understand your hatred for these foreign ethnic groups, the system of the Athenian Empire is that slaves only need to work for five years to be free."

"This is my Kingdom of Egypt, not your Athenian Empire."

"I know this is your Kingdom of Egypt, so my main purpose of coming to Egypt this time is to turn your Kingdom of Egypt into a part of my Athenian Empire."

"You-"

Seeing Nafel showing an excited and angry expression, Roy interrupted her and said.

"Let's talk about what you want to say in private. Now let's start a war first!"

"I have been ready to start a war for a long time."

Nafel looked at the generals in the hall and ordered.

"According to our plan, the commanders of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Legions, you will lead 50,000 troops to attack Bubastis. When I arrive at Bubastis with the remaining five legions, if you fail to capture Bubastis, I will take back your positions as commanders."

The five commanders in charge of the battle immediately stood up and assured Nafir that they would definitely be able to capture Bubastis.

Roy also said to the five commanders.

"Pharos Governor Aries will lead his legion to the battle with you. His mission is not to compete with you for the credit of attacking Bubastis, but to supervise you. If you fail to manage your soldiers well and allow your soldiers to commit crimes that harm civilians, the Athenian soldiers will punish your soldiers, and Aries will also punish you, the commanders."

Hearing Roy's words, the generals in the hall said dissatisfiedly.

"Why should we be supervised by the Athenians?"

"Queen Nefer, can you allow this?"

"Are we Egyptians going to be enslaved by the Athenians in the future?"

Nefer was also very dissatisfied with Roy's words.

She suppressed her anger and said in a cold voice with an expressionless face.

"Stop arguing! Roy just wants to restrain you and prevent you from harming civilians. With such a big reaction, do you want to condone soldiers to harm civilians?"

Nafell's question immediately silenced the generals.

After all, the generals could not say that they wanted to condone soldiers to harm civilians.

Seeing the generals' reactions, Nafell continued.

"Since you will not condone soldiers to harm civilians, Roy's order is no big problem. Now you all go to execute the plan."

After hundreds of generals left the hall, Nafell no longer suppressed his anger and questioned Roy loudly.

"What do you mean by what you said just now? Do you want to annex my Kingdom of Egypt?"

"That's right!"

Roy sat on Nafell's throne and held her in his arms with both hands.

"Dear Nafell, since we can be husband and wife, the Athenian Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt can certainly merge into one country."

"Humph!"

Nafell said with a sneer.

"If the Athenian Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt merge into one country, will you let my child become the heir of this country? I don't expect you to let my child inherit your Athenian Empire. I only hope that you can return the Egyptian territory occupied by the Athenian Empire to me and let my child rule the complete Egyptian Kingdom. If you want me to agree to the merger of the Athenian Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt, then let me be your first queen and let my child be your first heir."

"Nafil..."

After hesitating for a while, Roy said with a hard heart.

"You can't become my most beloved first queen, and your child can't become the heir of the Athenian Empire, but my idea of ​​conquering the entire Egyptian region will not change. Anyone who hinders my plan will be ruthlessly eliminated by me, even if you are my wife. I can only assure you that the Egyptian province of the Athenian Empire will be ruled by you and your child."
