From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

The Hittite court, Prince Regent Kalsha announced his decision in public.

In the royal court, the old Hittite king sat on top of Karsha. His younger brother who was once ambitious, but now dared not show his pride in front of Karsha, huddled beside the Hittite king.

The royal court ministers and military representatives stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up at Karsha.

I don't understand these four words on everyone's face.

Karsha stretched out his hand and pinched his nose, thinking: It’s all because he promised too readily last night—if he knew it earlier, he should have let that woman come to the Hittite royal court to explain them one by one.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Karsha, are you serious—you only want to send troops to the border, but you don't enter the mainland of Egypt, and you don't attack a certain city in Egypt. You just want to send troops?"

A veteran Hittite minister spoke to everyone on their behalf.

"Indeed, it's just Chen Bing."

Karsha's expression was solemn, indicating that he did not make the decision on a whim.

"But... the army is marching on the frontier, and it takes all the power of the whole country to provide supplies for the soldiers. The consumption is huge. If there is no return..."

Minister Hittite expressed everyone's concerns.

"I am quite sure that this approach is in Hittite's best interest."

Karsha said categorically, and at the same time thought: Am I not a person whose interests are paramount?

But when he saw the eyes of his father, younger brother and ministers, Karsha's heart suddenly brightened——

It turns out that you all thought wrong!

At the beginning, Karsha sneaked into Upper Egypt, participated in the birthday ceremony held by the Egyptian pharaoh for his eldest daughter, and proposed marriage to the first princess of Egypt at that ceremony——

This matter could not be concealed from others, but was later embellished by envoys from various countries and spread it back to Hittites.

So everyone in Hittite knew that the prince regent had a sweetheart in Upper Egypt. The prince didn't care that she had married an Egyptian pharaoh or that she had a daughter. Inherited the Hittite throne.

Now Karsha intends to send troops to the border, but does not intend to attack Egypt. It sounds a bit like a bluff for the sake of his sweetheart.

Karsha hummed softly in his heart, and immediately put on a straight face.

"The news from the spies in Egypt is that the civil war in upper and lower Egypt is imminent, and the Pharaoh Delos of Lower Egypt intends to devote all his power to attack Upper Egypt, even without considering the threat of the Numidians in the west."

"Yeah..." The military representative stepped forward, as if he wanted to ask Karsha, "Since the situation in Egypt is chaotic, the Hittite army must have a lot to do—"

Karsha raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes, but everyone, don't forget that the Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt used to be a couple—when did you ever see a pharaoh who ignored the important territories in the west and east, and only cared about his own love? Did your wife fight?"

"This one……"

The Hittite officials were all stunned.

Suddenly someone guessed——

"Is this a trap set by the king and queen of Egypt?"

"keen!"

Karsha praised it loudly, and at the same time apologized secretly in her heart: I'm sorry, Erich.I hope you don't mind if I say that.

"Our army's Chen Bing went to the border of Egypt, firstly to deter the Egyptians from coveting the land on our border; secondly, if there is a civil war in Egypt, when our country has an opportunity, our Hittite army can also seize the opportunity and send troops quickly... "

Karsha talked eloquently, revealing his detailed and thoughtful considerations.

At the same time, he recalled the meeting with the woman last night. Like his courtiers, he decisively rejected Elich's request.

Unexpectedly, she took out a piece of papyrus and showed him two squares stacked on top of each other.

This just happened to touch Karsha's mind—recently, in the Hittite capital, such graphics appeared everywhere, which made Karsha very vigilant.

"If you can't control this situation, not only will you not be able to regain the authority of your main god Anu, but it will make Hittites fall into chaos and disorder just like Egypt..."

This is what really worries Karsha the most.

He judged from Erich's attitude that this was definitely not sensationalism, but the plight that Egypt itself was facing.

Moving the army away from the capital was just enough to allow the Hittite army to avoid the undercurrent of the king's capital.

In addition, Erich also promised that she would fulfill the agreement as soon as possible, and go to the border between the two countries with Karsha to find the Stone of Time.

All this contributed to the covenant between Karsha and Elyse.

That's why Kalsha stood in the royal court today and talked eloquently, convincing the ministers and the military, and convinced that the regent prince is a person with a big strategy in his chest, and he will not be dissatisfied because of his special relationship with any woman. Feel free to decide the important affairs of the country.

In the Royal Court of Memphis, Pharaoh Delos fell silent in front of officials and military representatives with a face as pale as a dead man.

"My king, the Nomes in the west are sparsely populated, and the Numidian elephant soldiers suffered limited losses after the attack, but the border with the Hittites in the east..."

The population of Lower Egypt is concentrated in several large cities such as the capital Memphis, Saqqara, and Tanis, as well as the northeastern coastal areas.

Although the border area with the Hittites was a desert, the desert was flat and did not serve as a barrier. Once the Hittite cavalry broke through the border, Tanis and other prosperous cities would be attacked.

"In the past, the frontier army garrisoned Mahara for this purpose, but now the frontier army..."

When the officials mentioned the border army, they hesitated to speak.

The frontier army was originally sent to the west to resist the Numidian elephant soldiers. Who knew that when they were in Giza, they witnessed the unreasonable infringement of the evil gods on the people blessed by the righteous gods, so they directly diverted to the south, and brought a large number of militiamen with them, and The food supplies that originally belonged to these peasants went south together.

The current situation is that Lower Egypt is going south with all its power, vowing to take Upper Egypt and reunify the divided kingdom.

"That is the will of the gods, not something the king can control."

Delos said this sentence with an unusually stiff expression.

The officials looked at each other. They had indeed heard that there was a divine force behind what was happening in Giza.

"So……"

Finally, an official who had mixed beliefs and believed in any god carefully asked Delos:

"Is the will of the God of War involved?"

Meng Tu, God of War?

Delos woke up in an instant, a trace of astonishment appeared in the original blank expression.

"No...no..."

Is it no, or simply don't know?

Delos didn't make it clear to his officials at all.

However, many people knew that the head maid who was outstanding in martial arts beside the former First Princess was the favored person of the God of War.

Has the God of War quietly stood in line long ago?

Delos' eyes were a little straight, and after being silent for a while, he seemed to have suddenly received some hints, cheered up a little, and replied seriously: "It has nothing to do with the God of War."

"The sun god Ra will bless Lower Egypt."

According to the pharaoh, the solar ship of the sun god appeared in Giza, and the priest of the sun god Ra appeared to explain the oracle to countless frontier troops and civilians.

The officials seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the words, but they still murmured in their hearts.

Because the priest of the sun god Ra, in the description of the pharaoh, did not look like a powerful force.

But even the Sun God ignores the dangers from neighboring countries on the east and west, so those are really not risks, right?

The officials cautiously agreed with the pharaoh's arrangements for the domestic situation in Egypt, and left the royal court one after another, preparing for an Egyptian civil war.

Many of them have heard a certain anecdote: the pharaoh lost the red crown symbolizing Lower Egypt in Giza, and now he is ordering the master craftsmen in Memphis to rush to make another one.

Not a word of any gossip about Giza reached Memphis.Therefore, all the officials heard was the version dictated by the pharaoh.

However, the matter of losing the red crown must be communicated with the court servants and craftsmen—that's why the officials who stayed in Memphis had a channel to know.

Can't even keep his own red crown, such a pharaoh, can he really unify upper and lower Egypt like the previous pharaoh Namer?

When everyone left, Pharaoh Delos stayed in the hall in a daze, his eyes changed, and he seemed to be able to hear everyone's muttering.

Finally, the hall was empty, and all the noisy voices disappeared.

The pharaoh turned his head and looked at the acacia flowers planted in the courtyard next to him, and the water lilies that were lazily closing together in the pool.

After a while, his eyes suddenly fluctuated, as if he had been aroused by some real emotion.

Immediately, the fluctuation disappeared without a trace, and Delos' eyes turned into a pool of stagnant water that was quieter than the outdoor water.

He turned around and walked towards a corner of the hall, where there was a small low door, and a person stood behind the door.

The figure is wrapped in a dark linen robe, a thick turban is wrapped around his head, and a tulle hangs down his face.

Delos walked up to this person, instead of asking him to salute, he gave him a slight nod, indicating that he had done what he said.

This one immediately stretched out his hand and lifted the tulle covering his face, revealing the face that belonged to the wife of the great priest.

With a loving smile on his face, he looked at Delos and said softly: "My child, you did a good job, you did everything, you are very good—"

At first glance, this sounded like the usual tone of a loving mother to her children.But the pair of eyes that looked at Delos were sharp and cunning, as if they could see directly into Delos' deep heart.

Combined with such a gentle and kind attitude, the scene in front of him was as weird as it could be.

Delos moved his lips, as if he wanted to answer something, but finally he didn't dare to meet those eyes, and quickly turned his head away.

Asiut City, Nanna looked at the sails on the vast river and sneered.

In the past half a year, this God of War envoy seems to have only come and gone in various cities in Upper Egypt, organizing patrols, and occasionally catching small thieves.In fact, she had secretly trained an army of Upper Egypt ready to fight.

But at this moment, facing the dense sails on the big river, the sentry guarding the city of Asiut inevitably turned pale and looked at Nanna.

"Notify the whole army, prepare for the battle according to the usual training!"

Nanna yelled loudly, and she quickly showed the form of the envoy of the god of war Mengtu, with a pair of extremely powerful horns on her head, instantly inspiring the entire army of Asiut.

"Kill it!"

Facing the Lower Egyptians with weapons in hand, the Upper Egyptian army trained by Nanna did not show any weakness, and rushed down the high stone steps in front of Asiut City.

The real war between upper and lower Egypt has officially started.
