Chapter 22 The Royal Funeral (Part 2)

"Stop, stop!" Alp's bone whistle was blowing faster and faster, and the Medegi people below were shooting archery more and more densely. At this time, Seerha, another commander of the guard, grew up and came to this dense forest with his follow-up troops. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't speak for a long time.

The Egyptian "pseudo-pharaoh" Achilaus was firmly nailed to the trunk by more than a hundred arrows. Blood continued to drip down the reed arrow shaft and white arrow feathers to the land under his feet. It was difficult to distinguish between his face and body. At his feet and around, the arrow feathers were densely packed and could not be counted. "Oh my God, we shot the pharaoh to death." Seerha finally said this.

"This is just a rebel. The real pharaoh and the commander-in-chief will give us a lot of rewards." The shooting finally stopped. Alp instructed his troops to go up and seize the body, and then said to Seerha.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves in the rear was stirring. Anthony rode his horse and shouted angrily. He went up and hit Alp's head with a whip. The blood was left along the bridge of the other party's nose. Anthony's gritted teeth were not pretended, "You can kill the king!"

"He is just an enemy of the legion, a thief who rebels against the real pharaoh, we are on orders." Alp touched the blood and coldly defended Anthony at the moment.

"Even the enemy, he is the son of Mitradati, the king of Bendu, the husband of Queen Beneniki. Get out of here. I will not invite any rewards with the body of the king, never!" Anthony was still very excited. He took a gorgeous costume from the servant next to him, which was the crown of the pharaoh's clothes and crown that he snatched from the camp of Archilus. Then he jumped off the horse. Alp also got excited with his neck stalk. However, he was stopped by his companion Seerha. Then Seerha pulled his bone whistle and blew a few times quickly. The Medegis guards put away their bows and arrows in Nahan's mood, turned back towards the camp and the river bank.

When Li Bida walked into the looted camp, he roared to punish Anthony who violated military orders and attacked without authorization, while the guard general Alp knelt in front of his horse. "I want to appeal to the military guardian Marco Anthony."

"It's a pity that Alp, you are not part of the republic's recognized sequence and cannot appeal to the military guardian."

"But he, the civilian official, is not officially appointed by the Romans. In addition, he violated military orders, robbed camps, attacked friendly forces, and robbed Achilaus's body, aren't these enough to be convicted?" Alp listed one by one. It seems that the young Nubian noble was not a timid fool.

"I understand this way!" Li Bida then said to Sabo on the horse's back, "Shut Anthony is confined. In addition, all the spoils he robbed to the affiliated cavalry brigade, he likes to invite him to buy fame, so he fulfilled his wish. Also, the merits of killing Archeraus are naturally considered to be on the head of the Medegiguard. Let's go and see how that bastard Anthony treats this body." Because Archeraus is also half acquaintance with Li Bida, he is still very concerned about the fate of this person.

When Li Bida drove his horse to the scene, Achillus's body had been placed on the crematorium pile by Anthony, and the arrows had been pulled out. Anthony changed him into the king's clothes and then ignited the crematorium.

"Hey, military civilian guardian, I'm here to inform you that you have been locked up." Li Bida pointed at Anthony after the fire and said, "Execute immediately, but you are still happy to be able to bury a king with your own hands?"

Anthony didn't say anything, but turned around and stretched out his hands, and was tied with ropes by several centurions, inserted a short wooden stick between them and then walked towards the camp.

The next journey was more like an armed parade. When the Idawuyi Fortress opened the gate to surrender, Li Bida temporarily stopped his advance. He was a very smart man, waiting for the arrival of the flute player Ptolemy, and then entered the city of Alexander under the instructions of the Pharaoh.

Of course, he still has some steps to guide the Pharaoh to do.

After resting for two markets, the flute blower's carriage finally entered Idawui. "Beniniki is dead, and Archilous is dead?" The flute blower sitting on the legs of the lion chair asked silently.

"Yes, if your Majesty wants to ask about the body, I can only reply like this - Beniniki's head was buried in an unknown place by Archlaus, who was shot by my guard with a bow and arrow, and the body was buried by a military guard."

"Well." The flute blower's face was dim and he understood the truth that the sword was blind. But in fact, when Beniniki rebelled, he had always been his favorite daughter. Even when he was sixteen, he did not marry her according to common sense. However, his daughter was regarded as a totem of the rebel party and was held hostage to oppose him. Then it seemed that Beniniki was deliberately mocking him, so he found a strange former general who married him, and then he didn't even want to show up for the last time, so his body was gone. Could it be that his daughter was really taking revenge on him?

Then, the little queen beside the Pharaoh clearly saw the revenge rage rising from her father. She secretly sneered at Li Bida and said bluntly, "Sister was killed by someone."

Just this sentence made the Pharaoh explode completely, "Yes, yes, this kingdom cursed by greed, has been rebellious over and over again."

"It is very important to clean up the powerful, value the indigenous people, and eliminate the financial supporters behind the rebel party." Li Bida, who was under the steps, also struck while the iron was hot.

"Responsible, I instruct your army to never be ruthless when entering the dirty city of Alexander, to kill all those who had betrayed me before, to destroy the Hormahi barracks, search and kill officers, and find soldiers to sell them into slaves, and go to the Second Waterfall to hunt for gold sand." The Pharaoh's voice became sharp and terrifying, and his fake beard and eyeshadow were twisted together. Mothamenis hurriedly knelt down and advised the fearful Pharaoh, if he wanted to maintain his throne for a long time, he had to rely on the city of Rome and comfort the Macedonian nobles in his home.

"What a ridiculous compromise!" Li Bida suddenly angrily scolded the chief eunuch, "I am the commander of the army and the biggest financial lord of this war. I bear thousands of debts of Tarant. I have been to welcome Pharaoh to go through a lot of hardships before I came back here. I am not hoping that Pharaoh would shake hands with the dirty rebels with forgiveness."

"Tell me your thoughts and suggestions, Lord Reincarnation." Before the Pharaoh could react (he was shocked by Li Bida's sudden anger), Cleopatra immediately asked. (To be continued...)
