Chapter 302. Egypt’s Empire of the Dead

All lines are on alert, which means that all guards, intelligence officers, and reserve combat personnel, whether they are on duty, off duty, waiting for instructions, or responsible for important military tasks and logistics in the surrounding areas, will take action and rush to the designated battlefield as soon as possible.

Zhenbeiguan Fortress City is a typical magic market and defense city. There are very few ordinary residents here. Most of them are magic merchants, hunters, mages, practitioners, and members of the Magic Association. Due to the frequent invasions of wild beasts from the northern border, martial law has been maintained here. There are very few drills for situations like this where the whole line is on alert. Once the order for the whole line to be on alert is issued, there must be a war. If the on-duty personnel are negligent, they will be directly dealt with by military law!
Arriving at Zhenbei Stone Building, female commander Bin Wei changed into combat uniform. After wrapping herself in the tight military uniform that she usually wore to shape her body, her entire temperament changed drastically.

Zhao Manyan has always believed in his own judgment, just like right now.

The sight of the female mage wearing new equipment undoubtedly made Zhao Manyan rethink her. He then realized that he had run into someone of the same level as the Egyptian General of Staff Finner.

Moreover, the other person looks even younger than Finner, with fair complexion and beautiful appearance, and can easily be mistaken for a vase.

“If you’re wrong, I’ll hang your head on the city gate!” Bin Wei glanced at Zhao Manyan. The first impression she got from this man was that he was frivolous and ignorant.

However, his identity as a member of the prevention team and the national government forced Binwei to take it seriously. If something bad happened because of her prejudice, she, as the commander-in-chief, would be seriously derelict in her duty.

She didn’t know much about the prevention group, but there was an order from above that all the city defense commanders must refer to the information provided by the prevention group and make some decisions.

“.”

But at this moment, many people here feel confused and dissatisfied.

Cursing sounds continued to be heard on the city wall, and most importantly, there was no movement at all.
All the sounds soon reached Commander-in-Chief Bin Wei, whose eyes were still staring toward the north.

Several of her colleagues were already discussing how to minimize the losses from this mistake. It was obvious that this was a ridiculous order.

“I still don’t understand why you do this.” The adjutant stood next to Binwei, his voice sounding a little depressed.

“We call this place Zhenbei Tower, and our eyes are always looking back. In fact, what we really care about is the north or what is behind us?” Bin Wei asked.

“But…” The adjutant didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

“You are thinking about the enemy and the position, but I am thinking about YL City, Anqin City, Feihuang City, Zhongning City behind me… those people who live behind this line of defense and have no combat ability. This is probably the real reason why the entire military needs female officers. Men are always thinking about how to kill the enemy, how to sweep, and how to make military achievements, but they ignore the most essential things. You always say what if this is an absurd act, what if there is no enemy at all…”

“But what if there really is an enemy? I won’t gamble with so many people’s lives. Not only now, but in the future I will still issue similar full-line alert orders. Be it scolding or impeachment, as long as I am in this position, I can’t let the Central Plains behind Zhenbei Tower be threatened in the slightest.” Bin Wei said.

Zhao Manyan was also standing nearby. When he heard these words, he was touched and completely changed his opinion of the female commander.

She was obviously not the type who cared more about her status; on the contrary, she cared more about what she was protecting.

“Sir.” The adjutant couldn’t help but speak. He always felt that this was just nonsense.

“Don’t talk!” Binwei stared at the land outside the Great Wall without moving, like a leopard with its hair standing up, ready to pounce.

Obviously, she had really noticed something, and her eyes were fixed on the area outside Zhenbei Pass. The wind blew, and the yellow soil filled the sky and the earth. It was so hazy that one could not see far away.

In the distance where the dust was swirling, a human figure slowly appeared on the yellow land under the Zhenbeiguan Fortress. It was moving forward step by step!
“Keng!!Keng!!!”

The sound of metal scraping against the ground came from there, and it sounded particularly harsh.

Everyone has never seen this kind of creature, but they still stare attentively…

“Is that a copper chain on its body?” an officer on the lookout tower said in surprise.

It was a person who looked like a wandering refugee, his clothes were tattered and covered with a lot of strange dirt. He had a stout build and his skin was like the bark of a dead tree, dry and lifeless. He was wearing copper chains, which were about the thickness of an adult’s wrist, and the two circles completely tied the ragged person together.

It was obviously moving forward with a heavy load. Every time it took a step, it would leave a deep footprint on the loess ground, and the veins all over its body would burst out!
In Zhenbeiguan Fortress City, people’s faces were full of confusion.

What is this thing? It looks like a human but not a human. Although it looks strong and powerful, it also looks a bit exhausted. It looks tired, exhausted, and full of resentment? ?
“These are the underworld boatmen, and behind them is the King of the Underworld Frog. Mo Fan said that behind them is Khufu of the Underworld and the Egyptian dead!!!”

Lingling received Mo Fan’s telepathic message at this time and immediately said to everyone: “Mo Fan is not in a position to take action right now, so we have to hold on to this place.”

“Where is he?” Zhao Manyan asked.

Without Mo Fan, I don’t feel safe!
“He is waiting. They are just the vanguard right now, but they are not a real threat. He is waiting for Khufu and his underworld army to show up.” Lingling said.

“What Khufu!?”

After Lingling finished speaking calmly, the faces of the people nearby all changed drastically!

Egyptian dead, Khufu!
What does this mean?
It represents the undead emperor of Egypt, who has come out in full force to attack China!

It’s just a Zhenbei fortress, how can it resist the invasion of Khufu?
Zhao Manyan immediately said, “Lingling, tell Mo Fan to leave. Khufu, does he know what Khufu is!!!”

At this moment, Zhao Manyan no longer wanted to stay here. It was not because he was afraid of death, but he felt that if he stayed here, his death would be meaningless.

Zhao Manyan’s response was considered normal by the magician Wei. If it was really Khufu, then running away was undoubtedly their only option at the moment.

Of course, the magicians will not flee from here. They have the responsibility to defend the country. Even if they know they are doomed to die, they will not leave here!

“He and I have lost contact.” Lingling said helplessly.

Even Lingling, who was not afraid of death, felt that Mo Fan was a little too proud. After all, the person he was going to face next was Khufu.
