The Sun King stared intently at the crowd.
“I am magnanimous and will allow you to make your explanations, but if it is a baseless and unfounded judgment, I will not show you any leniency.”
"Of course. Sun King. You stood by and watched the refugees die, even signing a non-aggression pact with the Lion King... If you were merely the king of Egypt, I wouldn't say much..."
"But this is a dereliction of duty regarding the existence of the [King of Kings] and even the God King."
"I think, given His Majesty's temperament, he would certainly not sit here idly."
"Ah..."
Osman Diaz raised an eyebrow.
“Foolish talk. I am the Pharaoh, and it is enough for me to guard the borders of Egypt.”
He looked at Sanzang's still clear eyes with great interest, seemingly curious about what she wanted to say next.
The other party is definitely not simply engaging in moral blackmail, but rather presenting the issue from their own perspective...
"That's not the case. You predicted that you might not be able to defeat the Lion King, or that the best outcome would be mutual destruction."
But the end of the world is imminent; you should already know that!
"Isn't Pharaoh Osman Diaz the strongest in Egypt? Yet he didn't even launch a single attack against the Lion King... Isn't that running away? Isn't that a sign of cowardice?!"
Sanzang's words silenced Osman Diaz.
"Escape, cowardice? Haha ...
Osman Diaz then burst into laughter again.
"A meaningless battle is inherently reckless!"
"Leaving aside whether I can defeat the Lion King, I cannot confront the Lion King simply because of the people of this place! Even if the world is destroyed, my Egypt will still survive."
"To be able to utter such earth-shattering remarks even with the eyes of an ordinary person, is this the golden cicada beside him...? But this chirping of insects is really making my ears callous."
La Er waved his hand.
He seemed to still be making excuses for his inaction and cowardice, and then impatiently prepared to send Xuanzang away.
"Who are you calling an insect?! I'm a girl who's never even been in a relationship!"
Sanzang immediately stretched out his palm in a fit of rage, seemingly wanting to slap him in a fit of pique.
"This pointless farce is over. I have no intention of continuing this nonsense with you all. Nitocris, take them to rest."
"Wait a moment."
Just as Osman Diaz waved his hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice gave Raiji a headache again.
And don't know why.
At this moment, as she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, she even felt a pang of pain in her neck.
"What's going on with you?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips moved slightly, her scarlet eyes fixed on Osman Diaz.
"Tokyo Bay."
The voice was flat, lacking any penetrating power or thought-provoking remarks or reasoning.
No one understood why she suddenly mentioned a certain place name, except for one person.
Osman Diaz.
Then...
The Sun King's eyes suddenly gleamed.
"Arthur Pendragon."
Arash.
"Brünnhilde."
Every time Fujimaru Ritsuka uttered a name, Osman Diaz's brown face darkened.
"as well as..."
The last name was the most important, and also the one that put the most pressure on Osman Diaz.
The so-called "Goddess of the Ghoul" is a girl named Shishi who wants to overturn the record of the human realm and reverse the destruction of Britain.
"—Aika Sajou."
At this moment, inside the Great Temple, it seemed that you could hear a pin drop.
“Osman Diaz, as the God-King, has always considered saving the world his responsibility.”
"This applies to everyone, whether they are the [King of Gods], the [King of Kings], or the [Pharaoh of Egypt]..."
"We won't back down just because we can't win, nor will we easily assume that anyone else is qualified to save the world in our place—"
"So... I think I understand."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile:
"It is not we who are helping you, but you who are helping us, Sun King."
"Oh... are you confident you can defeat the Lion King?"
Osman Diaz looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and finally asked, "Are you confident you can defeat your opponent?"
"You should understand that at this level, the power of ordinary Servants is not enough to provide a decisive advantage. This is why I am hesitant to act rashly."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's crimson eyes flashed, and then instantly... a terrifying aura spread out.
"Senior, your eyes—"
Mashu covered her lips and said in surprise.
Those eerie, sapphire-like pupils radiated a captivating brilliance.
"Is this enough, Your Majesty the Sun King?"
Osman Diaz touched his neck unconsciously, and he suddenly realized that what he had felt just now was not a phantom pain, but a real intuition.
Chapter 207 Princess, Ritsuka says my magic is warm.
"Your eye..."
Ramses II was not a fool.
He also understood that among the planetary catalysts, there was not only the desert pantheon. In the far north, further north than the pantheon of the sea people [Greeks], there were two pantheons that were connected to each other.
One of them is the Celtic pantheon.
In the Celtic pantheon, there is an evil demon king like Apep [the nemesis of the sun god Ra], who possesses a powerful demonic eye that can kill anyone he glares at.
This demonic eye was so incredible that it was even listed as a legendary "Rainbow-level Demonic Eye." As a god-king, Ramses naturally had a certain degree of authority in the world. He only needed to take one look to know the general outline of the events.
“呵企%镏印3 侕倭诌erLl"...”
"You should have said you had this eye sooner."
"Now I have a general understanding of your requirements and suggestions."
Ramses II's attitude changed instantly, and he spoke seriously.
This is not just out of awe for Fujimaru Ritsuka's power, but also out of respect for a certain old man.
"Hey, Sun King, why the sudden change in your attitude!"
Sanzang asked in a daze.
"In fact, you should remember the time when I first met you, my head fell to the ground, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "It seems that there was indeed such a thing."
"Yes. That happened after I summoned the desert of Egypt and officially became hostile to the Mountain People. My reason for not launching a full-scale war against the Lion King was not just to defend the Great Temple."
"As I was contemplating tactics alone on this throne, I suddenly felt a chill from behind that I had never felt before."
"At that moment, even I felt the threat of death. I carefully observed his figure and finally saw him while I was defending with all my might."
"The first generation of old men in the mountains".
"However, the moment I saw him, his goal had already been achieved."
"My head was perfectly severed."
"Then, that guy disappeared as if he had merged into the darkness. As a messenger of death, even Nitocris could not detect his superb skills, and even I had to be cautious."
"If it weren't for my great temple, I probably would have already left the stage."
Ozymandias felt no shame whatsoever for his defeat. He was a man of his word, accepting his loss even after losing to Old Sword, Valkyrie, and Great Hero in Tokyo...
He simply said with a mixture of emotion and joy—
So, you are the ones who will save the world in my place?
Then, with a loud bang, he was instantly destroyed by Arash's "Meteor Shower".
"So that's how the first Elder of the Mountain was beheaded. That's how it happened."
Mashu had also witnessed the Sun King's head fall off, and suddenly realized what was going on.
"So, you'll be attacking the Holy City with us, is that right?"
Bedwell stepped forward and asked.
"I agree to fight alongside you, but I will not fight side by side with you. However, the Divine Beast Legion is at your disposal. This will somewhat balance the disparity in troop strength between us and the Cavalry."
"You should have the ability to unleash the power of divine beasts, right?"
Mordred patted his breastplate: "Leave this to me. I'll lead the troops in a frontal assault. This time, we'll definitely give Gawain a good beating."
While Gawain is indeed powerful at three times the strength, Mo is never the type to admit defeat easily.
Last time, they had to retreat because they had to focus on protecting refugees, but this time... Xiao Mo doesn't think he'll lose.
"Very good, then I look forward to your performance."
Sanzang said, "Hmph! Just you wait, it will absolutely shock you!"
Although time is running out, there is still plenty of time.
This is not a grammatically incorrect sentence.
The Holy Lance has left Fujimaru Ritsuka with very little time left, but she should take this opportunity to relax before it ends.
The so-called "recharging and conserving energy" refers to this very thing.
Speaking of the most relaxing thing in the world.
Whether in the East or the West, in ancient times or now, there is always one thing that is absolutely relaxing.
That is... taking a bath.
The rising steam, carrying the scents of myrrh and frankincense, permeated the golden bath, enveloping it in a warm amber hue, rendering the entire environment with a translucent honey color.
Nitocris's chocolate-colored bare feet gently sank into the rippling water. She removed her thin gauze dress, revealing wheat-colored skin with a captivating glow that was truly dazzling.
Queen Nitocris was a beautiful queen.
Although she is a young girl, she is already widowed before marriage and has the attributes of a widow.
But she was also a dutiful queen, and her end was tragic.
In her quest for revenge, she meticulously constructed an underground palace, imprisoning the noble ministers who had usurped the throne within. Then, she opened the floodgates, perishing alongside those usurpers.
This can be seen as leaving behind a final shred of dignity for the end of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.
In fact, she was a great queen who worked diligently and personally led people in production and daily life.
But at this time, central power in Egypt had fallen into the hands of others, and the central government had collapsed... Two years was simply not enough time to reverse the situation.
However, Nitocris is actually very easy to get along with.
She has a gentle and considerate personality, making her the perfect wife.
Just as she was gently testing the water temperature with her toes, a mischievous yellow figure seemed to suddenly flash past behind her, revealing a girl who was both handsome and cute.
The female knight's battle suit was nowhere to be found. She stood by the bathtub, stretched out her slender, white, yet powerful arm, and gave a push!
"Oh!"
