From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

The pharaoh briefly appeased the Memphis gathered below the city, and heard someone shouting loudly from the top of the city, and the huge eagle wings behind him fluttered.Immediately, the air current swept over and quickly brought him to the top of the city.

There, the defenders of Memphis are pointing high in the distance.

Pharaoh Delos took a closer look, and saw a huge royal ship flying towards Saqqara, with a broad hull and two rows of oarsmen sitting neatly around it, rowing vigorously.

The kingship sailed in the air, and stopped in the air on the other side of the river, across the river from the city of Memphis.

The guards on the top of the city didn't notice the pharaoh's arrival. At this moment, they looked at the royal ship floating in the air with a look of astonishment on their faces, but they didn't forget to sigh in surprise: "Isn't that your majesty's royal ship?"

Tilos also recognized it immediately: indeed, this is his royal ship, a keel ship made of high-quality hardwood fir purchased by the Royal Court of Memphis from the north of Hittite, and then made by skilled craftsmen. There was a sensation when the dock was launched.

But that woman changed all the royal ships she took away into airships that can fly and move in the air...

With his face sinking like water, Tilos stood on the head of Memphis city with folded arms, looking at the huge king ship hovering in the air in the distance.His eyes were sharp, fixed on a woman standing at the bow of the boat.

The woman had black hair and black eyes, a good figure and a delicate face.There are many people behind her, who seem to be generals and advisers who support her.

They gathered on the flying kingship and watched Memphis from afar, the largest and most lush city in Egypt.

They talked unscrupulously, pointed and discussed, as if Memphis was already in their pocket.

Delos bit his lower lip slightly.

All water and land transportation between Memphis and other cities has now been cut off;

At its peak, the capital of Lower Egypt had a population of 7, but now there are only more than 3 people left.

But just supplying the daily supplies for these 3 people is a terrifyingly large number.

Now seeing the full royal treasurer emptied day by day, the people in the city became more anxious every day than the day before.

No one knows how many days the city can last.

The Upper Egyptians surrounded the city without attacking it, as if they were waiting for the city to become chaotic from within, so that the Memphis would seize their pharaoh with their own hands and offer him out of the city as a captive to the upper Egyptians. Queen of Egypt.

"Alich—"

Delos squeezed out the name from between his teeth, "Do you have to be so terrific?"

He glared viciously at the leading woman on the Sky King's ship in the distance, and anger seemed to burst out of his eyes.

With a soft snap, Erich folded a long black cylindrical object in her hand——

That is Ms. Biola's latest invention: a monocular, which consists of several smooth polished crystal lenses stacked inside a cylinder formed by two thin metal sheets. When in use, the focal length can be adjusted. It is very suitable for observing Enemy in the distance.

Just now she used this tool to carefully observe the pharaoh Delos above the city of Memphis, and had a good time admiring the angry face of the other party.

That face was so clear that it seemed to be right in front of her eyes, and Alicia felt as if she could touch his face as soon as she stretched out her hand.

A kind of comfort naturally appeared in her heart: If you have the ability, you can run away again!

Delos was certainly a pharaoh who was extremely good at escaping.But this is already Memphis, and the Pharaoh cannot escape—

If he continued to give up Memphis, Delos would be equivalent to giving up the throne of Lower Egypt and the innate divinity in his blood, and he would be worthless and nothing since then.

Therefore, although Pharaoh was angry, fearful, and hated...he had no other choice but to stick to the city.

However, Memphis, the royal capital carefully managed by the pharaohs of all dynasties, should be regarded as the strongest city in Egypt.

It is different from the semi-open Thebes. Memphis, located on the banks of the great river, has a complete and solid city wall, with a height of twenty cubits, and even the lowest point is more than ten cubits.

The city wall was built thick and solid, and there was a walkway about four to five cubits wide on the top of the wall. The soldiers guarding the city could move back and forth directly on the top of the city without going down the wall, and rescued the attacked places at any time.

Compared with other cities, the most powerful thing about this city is its huge and magnificent gate.

The city gate is extremely tall, and the wooden door made of huge cypress wood is covered with bronze door nails for fixing. Over time, these door nails have been completely integrated with the dark wooden door, only in a few parts that people often push and pull Polished to a bright finish, revealing a clear metallic luster with occasional hints of patina.

In addition, the emblems belonging to the royal family are inlaid on both sides of the city gate - it is made of pure gold, and someone polishes and wipes it from time to time. In the most difficult days of the city recently, this golden The emblem is still brilliant and eye-catching, which can somewhat regenerate a little confidence after seeing it.

The hinges on both sides of the city gate are giant wood directly embedded in the city wall. The surface of the giant wood is covered with a thick layer of bronze, making the pair of hinges supporting the gate almost indestructible.

Facing the city gate is a spacious avenue, the surface of the road is lower than the ground level on both sides.

Standing on both sides of the road can overlook the passing pedestrians and vehicles - this is a great joy of Memphis people.

"Everyone, do you have any good ways to break the city?" Alicia asked the people around her.

Gathering around her at this moment are the generals of the frontier army such as Solan and Anuo, the priests of Upper Egypt such as Ferrin, the priest of war god Nanna and the killer Kongsi, and some who have always been Erich's closest partner Senmut, and her squire Satiri.

Solan folded his arms and said lazily: "Actually, why bother to break the city? You just need to give the order to continue to siege Memphis. When the besieged people eat up all the food and are desperate, someone will open the city gate." , dedicated the city to you."

"That's a nice idea."

Erich's praise made Soran feel complacent.

But what she said next directly overturned Solan's suggestion, and made the general bow in awe, bowing his head to express his obedience.

"Until we take down all Nome outside the capital, we can just besiege and not attack. But once we have completed control of the entire Lower Egypt, I must break the city with my own hands."

As a monarch who seized power, breaking the old capital and ascending to the throne with his own hands is a symbolic means, and everyone can understand why Erich must do this.

Senmut, who was standing beside Alixie, seemed to have a string of extremely small pale golden symbols flashing in his eyes at this moment.He glanced at Alicia without a trace, and then turned his eyes away.

Only he understands what Elyse wants best - she wants to create fear by capturing Memphis, creating fear that can shock the entire Lower Egypt, so as to take a further step in her personality and compete with the one in Heliopolis.

As for why the time can't be delayed for too long - after all, the sun god Ra of Heliopolis has not yet fallen, and Erich doesn't know how long it will take for the other party to recover, and when she will continue to intervene.

So for Erich, missing this opportunity means being beaten passively.

Here, Solan's suggestion was rejected by Erich, and the others put forward various ideas in a hurry.

These suggestions may not be reliable, because most people living in Upper and Lower Egypt have no experience in storming a large city——

Memphis can be regarded as a unique city that can be defended by walls.

Looking at the entire era, I am afraid that only the majestic city in the northeast, the Hittite capital, can be compared with Memphis.

Alicia stood on the bow of the king's ship, listening to the discussion of the people behind her, while observing the location of the city of Memphis and the flow of the river from a condescending height.

Suddenly her heart moved, and she was about to turn her head to find someone to discuss with, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the king's boat——

"That is--"

"My God, that's really a pharaoh!"

"It's the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt!"

Above the city of Memphis, a pair of wings with a huge wingspan suddenly opened and soared into the air.

He was facing the direction of the royal ship where Alixi was, and rushed towards him extremely swiftly, as if he was about to launch a sudden attack.

In the direction of Memphis City, there were exclamations mixed with cheers.

Obviously, Pharaoh's approach instantly inspired the morale of the Memphis people.

Alice immediately raised the corners of her mouth happily: "This is the most courageous action he has taken since I knew the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt."

Before Alixie gave the order, the pale young Kong Si beside her had changed into the shape of a killer in an instant.

His eyes were blood red, and with a huge black wing, he jumped down from the side of the king's ship incomparably swiftly, and swiftly attacked the pair of huge eagle wings above the city of Memphis.

Although Pharaoh Delos's move was brave, it would not have any effect on Elyse.

Alicia doesn't even need to do it herself, her followers can do it for her at any time.

Finally, the pair of huge eagle wings behind Delos just took the pharaoh around in the air a few times, and finally landed on the city of Memphis.

Kong Si originally wanted to compare with the other party who had the longer wingspan and whose claws were sharper.But seeing that the other party refused to compete, Kong Si accepted it as soon as he saw it, and gave up.

But Alicia seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and repeatedly ordered the navigator Gregor to lead all the oarsmen to change the direction, and let the king's ship go south a little, across the wide river channel, facing the city gate to the south of Memphis.

The king's boat was suspended in the sky, so he could naturally see the wide street running through the city behind the city gate from a commanding height.

"There is..."

Alicia clapped her hands together, her eyes lit up.

"If we divert the river and use its waters to attack the city of Memphis..."

At this moment, the people standing on the king's boat are all quite stupid.

They even changed the course of the great river, using the mother river that has nourished Lower Egypt for thousands of years.As the sharpest weapon to directly attack the capital of Lower Egypt?

At this moment on the king's ship, many Upper Egyptians standing behind Alicia have changed their expressions.

They all feel scared in unison.

However, Erich didn't realize their shock and timidity at all, and continued on her own.

"It's a good idea to divert the river, use the flowing water to wash down the gates of Memphis, and divide the city into two in the torrent..."

Alixie was immersed in her longing for the future, and seemed completely unaware of the fear that was spontaneously emerging in the hearts of the people around her.
