From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 203

Originally, Erich was not particularly worried about Gilman and his mercenaries.

This group of people has accumulated a lot of experience in their mercenary career, and they know the truth of running away if they can't fight, and they have never been loyal to anyone. When they see interceptors appearing on the shore, they just turn around and run away.Come back the next day, or even hide in Ponte, choose other roads to return to Egypt, there are many choices.

But now, Gilman and others were trapped on this beach, facing the strait and the land belonging to Egypt on the other side of the strait, and behind them were large expanses of burning forests, completely blocking everyone's escape route.

The direction of the wind was also not favorable. After the woods were set on fire, thick smoke billowed towards Gilman and the others, making their eyes tearful and unable to see clearly what was in front of them.

But the giants in front of them were completely unaffected by this. When they straightened up, their heights completely exceeded the range of the thick smoke.

And the thick smoke seemed to be unable to block their sight at all.These giants looked down, like looking for mice in the barn, looking for the traces of the mercenaries.

A mercenary who covered his eyes was so smoked that he couldn't bear it. He covered his face and rushed towards the ocean in front of him.As soon as he took a step, he was picked up by a giant and thrown at high speed like throwing sundries.

The mercenary screamed and flew into the air. With a bang, he fell far into the sea. The sea water instantly submerged, and he disappeared completely.

Gilman saw through the billowing smoke that the giant's understated throw was so powerful. With a loud cough, he quickly reassembled the pod of the snake spirit tree, and pressed his hand on the bracket. Just as he was about to press it, suddenly Thinking wrong——

He obviously killed these people once.

At this moment, it would be futile to shoot the arrow of the Snake Spirit Tree.

With such a hesitation, Gilman's neck tightened, and he was immediately lifted up by the collar of his robe.

Immediately, the clouds and fog flew into the air, but the direction was no longer the strait facing the mainland of Egypt, but the clump of burning trees on the shore.

"Ruined!"

There was only one thought in Gilman's mind: he traveled all over the world as a mercenary, but he always had the dream of returning to his homeland in his heart.But now, he no longer has the chance to return to his homeland and take a look at the small town where he lived since he was a child.

Amidst the exclamations of his subordinates, the mercenary leader fell rapidly, passing through the billowing smoke from the weeds and bushes, and he was about to die in the flames.

Suddenly, the back of his neck tightened again, this time it was his clothes being held by a pair of sharp claws.

Kong Si, who had transformed into a killer form, grabbed Gilman from behind, dragged him out of the flames and smoke at the nick of time, and threw him on the beach again.

Just as Gilman wanted to thank him, he suddenly discovered a new attacker, and hurriedly called out to Kong Si to be careful.

Kong Si also sensed the danger. His pair of black wings wrapped himself up, rolled away on the spot, and immediately avoided a huge stone hammer.

At this moment, Gilman didn't think about it anymore, and pressed the phone in his hand, and dozens of black arrows shot out quickly, hitting the chest of the giant in front of him.The strong impact knocked the giant back a few steps, and he sat down on the sand.

Gilman's two mercenaries, with red eyes and tears, swung their knives at the same time. One stabbed hard into the giant's back, and the other jumped high. It was unloaded without interest.

The giant suddenly fell to the ground and never got up again.

It seems that there is no chance of resurrection.

Gilman was overjoyed, thinking that his snake spirit tree pod was still useful.

However, looking at the battlefield, Gilman immediately felt sad—even if the pod of the snake spirit tree can be used, all mercenaries only have such a powerful weapon in their hands, and everyone else uses swords and shields, or bows and arrows. In the billowing smoke, struggled to resist.

But they were picked up one by one by the giants and thrown out, and they lost their lives one by one...

So this is the story that belongs to Bont——

He finally saw the City of Desire that he had been longing for, but found that he was still nostalgic for the hometown in his heart.

But he can never go back, he wants to leave his life here...

At this moment, Gilman suddenly found that the thick smoke on the beach began to dissipate, and the blue sky finally appeared in front of him.

Has the wind changed?

No, it didn't. The remaining smoke was still floating from the shore to the sea, but it was gradually dissipating. It seemed that the source of the initial fire had been brought under control.

Gilman turned his head and saw a scene he had never seen in his life——

The trees that had been ignited earlier were now waving their branches and leaves, beating each other to put out the fire for each other.

Gilman shook his head, feeling that the word mutual was too anthropomorphic. How could trees be conscious and able to help each other and put out fires for each other?

Perhaps it was the wind, or the heat generated by the rapid burning of the jungle, which twisted the branches of these trees, causing their branches and leaves to beat each other, as if they were extinguishing each other's fire.

Gilman seems to have found a relatively reasonable explanation for himself.

But the next moment, on the surface of the beach where the smoke cleared, he saw more than a dozen low shrubs with burning branches and leaves. At this moment, they uprooted and ran to the seaside with their roots as feet, immersing all the lit branches and leaves in the clear water. in the sea water.

"Zi-"

The sound of fire extinguishing sounded, and smoke rose from the water.

Immediately afterwards, these low shrubs raised their bodies from the seaside, shook off the water droplets and ashes on their bodies, and ran back to the place where they originally grew, rooting their roots into the soil.

There are even a few chicken thieves. They found a better location and a place with more sunlight. They dug a small hole in the ground with their roots, squatted down, and immediately stopped, just like another intact small tree. It seems that everything just now, the burning, escape, extinguishing the fire, replanting... nothing happened.

This scene looks very strange and makes people feel creepy.

But the jungle was no longer on fire, and the smoke no longer obscured the view, which also helped the expedition.

Gilman believed now at last--what is a miracle?This is a miracle.

"Brothers, cheer up, there are gods, there are gods looking after us..."

He uttered such a cry on the gradually clear beach, and the mercenaries around him heard it, and all of them regained their spirits and gathered in the direction of the leader.

Kongs also kept flying up and down in the air, and his pair of black steel-like sharp claws could inflict heavy damage on the weak parts of the giants at any time.

Gilman casually filled the black cylindrical object in his hand, the snake spirit tree pod, with black arrows for attacking.

That was his last batch of arrows.

But Gilman did not feel hopeless—or because he suddenly saw a miracle when his life came to an end, so he had confidence in life;

Or maybe he knows that if he can witness a miracle with his own eyes, this life will not be considered wasted. In the future, his soul will return to the underworld, and he will have some bragging capital when he sees relatives and friends from his homeland——

Unexpectedly, just after Gilman installed the last batch of arrows, his hand suddenly lightened, and the pod of the snake spirit tree that he was holding tightly was suddenly suspended in the air, as if it had been snatched away by someone.

Gilman was dumbfounded, and suddenly saw a giant punching him in the face with a huge fist that was bigger than a bull's head.Gilman immediately rolled to the ground to dodge.

At the same time, the pod of the snake spirit tree hanging in the air also moved sideways.It was as if someone standing there had seen the attack of the giant and immediately avoided it with the pod of the snake spirit tree.

While dodging, Gilman paid attention to the pod of the snake spirit tree suspended in the air.

He saw a flat round object suddenly appeared in the air, quite like a flywheel specially used by potters to make pottery.

The round object suddenly burst out with bright light, shining on the pod of the serpent tree in the sky.

The sights of the giants were all attracted by this scene. The flames in their hollow eye sockets jumped, as if realizing that this was a serious situation, they all turned around and walked towards the pod of the snake spirit tree.

Their footsteps are extremely heavy, and every step they take will leave a huge footprint on the soft sand by the sea.

Seeing this scene, Gilman wondered how he could treat these people as ordinary thieves?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the light from that flat circular object in the sky began to rapidly converge.

Gilman's eyes moved, and he suddenly saw the snake spirit tree pods in the air change from one to two.

Gilman thought he was dazzled, so he reached out and rubbed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the pods of the Snake Spirit Tree had changed from two to four, and four to eight...

Gilman was vigilant, and at this moment he whistled, instantly calling all his mercenaries who were still able to fight.

For a moment, the people rushed there as fast as they could, jumping into the air, grabbing the pod of the snake spirit tree that appeared in front of them before the giants arrived.

Gilman didn't have time to count them in detail. He estimated that there were about 300 to [-] snake spirit tree pods that appeared out of thin air, and there were about [-] mercenaries under him who could still move.

Gilman immediately ordered: "A group of three to four people, one person in each group holds a weapon, and the other two assist—everyone, this is the opportunity God has given us, come on, fight these monsters."

His order was just right, and the mercenaries quickly formed a battle formation and began to wrestle with the giants.

Gilman prayed repeatedly in his heart: "I hope the arrow is still there, I hope the arrow is still there..."

Earlier, he filled his snake spirit tree pod with the last batch of snake spirit tree arrows. Without arrows, even with the snake spirit tree pod in hand, it would be useless.

But at this moment, the snake spirit tree pod in Gilman's hand was heavy, and it was obviously filled with a special black arrowhead in advance.

On the other side, the mercenaries had already buckled down the harness according to Gilman's instructions and launched a wave of strong offensive.

"Boss, here's the arrow—"

"After shooting, there are still arrows—"

The newly emerged snake tree pods have already been filled with snake tree arrows.And the ammunition stockpile seemed endless.

Hearing this, Gilman almost wanted to kneel down immediately, thanking the gods for the gift.

This is the weapon God sent them in their most critical time.

Gilman had no doubts about it.

He turned around, faced the tallest and largest giant in front of him, and beckoned to two companions, ready to launch a merciless attack.

Unexpectedly, the giant on the opposite side stopped, the flames in his eyes were burning quietly, and suddenly asked a question: "Who are you?"

"We follow the will of the gods, representing Thebes and the Upper Egyptians, going to the ancient country of Ponte to seek friendly and peaceful exchanges...adventurers..."

Gilman answered loudly.

The giant on the opposite side tilted his head slightly, and asked in confusion, "God's will?"

"This is impossible!"

The flames in the giant's eyes rose instantly, which seemed to represent some kind of anger.

"God says no one can go to Egypt from here—"

"This is a land that doesn't believe in gods. It doesn't belong to the world we know. It...it doesn't exist at all..."

Gilman immediately retorted: "Doesn't this place exist? You are clearly stepping on this piece of land, but you say that this place does not exist?"

This is clearly a paradox.

The giant slowly lowered his head, and the flames in his eyes seemed to be thinking.

Suddenly, he raised his head and growled: "I don't care, the great sun god Ra said that this place does not exist, and this place does not exist!"

Immediately afterwards, the giant raised his right foot and stomped on the ground.Gilman and his companions suddenly felt unsteady, as if the ground was trembling.

Immediately afterwards, a huge stone hammer in his hand slammed down on the top of Gilman's head.

When Gilman jumped away quickly, he also thought of one thing:

Thousands of years ago, or at least before the Great Chaos, the land east of the ocean did not exist.

At that time, people believed that Egypt was a long and narrow land from south to north, with the boundless ocean to the east, the kingdom of the sun god Ra, and the residence of God.

Every day the sun ship rises from the eastern sea, sails through the sky, then falls from the west, goes to the underworld, and returns from the underworld to the eastern sea, rising day after day.

The Egyptians at the time must have believed this.Because there are many such murals left in the temple.

But as the Egyptians began to communicate with neighboring countries, the Egyptians gradually learned that the East is not only a boundless ocean, but also a variety of neighboring countries in the East, such as Hittite, Babylon, Ponte, and Gilman's hometown Xiao Xiao. City-state Lagash...

Therefore, there is no land on the other side of the ocean. This statement has long been abandoned and forgotten by the Egyptians.

The experienced mercenary leader immediately jumped back, looking at the overly simple clothes on the giants in front of him, he was startled and terrified.

Is it...

Are they...

The undead souls who have been guarding here since thousands of years to intercept those who come and go?

Gilman couldn't help but fight a cold war when he thought of what the giant in front of him said just now that no one could go to Egypt from here.

Could it be God, God arranged for these guardians to stop any explorers who dared to return to Egypt from beyond the eastern ocean?

Could it be that these guardians have long been forgotten and abandoned by the gods because of the passage of time?
