There is a turbulent commotion in Monset's temple at this time---------
Pharaoh Osiris, who had not managed the government for a long time, was now sitting high on the throne, with two rows of officials wearing white linen clothes standing respectfully below.
A man in golden armor stood above the main hall. Although he was covered in dust, he could not hide the aura of king that emanated from him.
It seemed that even the most supreme Pharaoh of Egypt, who was sitting at the head of the throne, could not match this kind of spirit.
His sudden return surprised all the civil and military officials. Even the usually calm head of the high priest Yama looked at his upright figure in surprise.
"An Pu, since you are back, why don't you send a letter to inform me?"
The majestic face of Pharaoh Osiris did not show any joy at all, but upon closer inspection, his eyes revealed panic and helplessness.
Anubis stood in the middle of the temple, his eyes cold and indifferent, and he saluted respectfully towards Pharaoh Osiris.
"Reporting to my father, in order not to alarm the people of Memphis, Anpu came back alone this time. Our army of 300,000 soldiers will enter the city of Memphis the day after tomorrow."
The officials standing on both sides nodded in understanding. According to Anubis' identity and status in Egypt, this time he returned victorious again. The people of Memphis were already waiting for his return in the city.
If he comes with a large army, there will definitely be chaos in the city.
Although he said these words with some great merit, in the land of Egypt, this is the fact. In the hearts of the Egyptian people, this is the fact. Even Osiris, who has always been arrogant, has to admit that Anubis said
It makes sense.
"King Anubis is a brave god. This time he has made great contributions to Egypt in eliminating the invasion of enemy countries. He deserves to be the God of War of our Egyptian Empire who never gives up."
A sincere smile appeared on Yamat's handsome face, "Pharaoh Osiris and we are very happy and concerned about him."
"The high priest is right. King Anubis is the bravest warrior in Egypt and the most powerful son of Pharaoh Osiris. Pharaoh, we are proud of you and King Anubis. May the gods bless us and Egypt forever.
.”
The officials below followed Yamat's words and continued to send compliments to Anubis, but the person involved still stood aside without any emotion.
Hasn't Anubis heard enough of such praises and praises? For him, these words are as common as it will be a sunny day today.
He no longer has any vanity to satisfy himself.
Osiris looked at the officials below, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and his eyes flashed. Only then did he realize that he had been alienated from the government for many days, and that Memphis was already ruled by Anubis.
Thinking of his most beloved son, Osiris was extremely determined. He must let Horus take his place. In his heart, only Horus was his biological son.
As for Anubis, the son he had with Nephthys, he had to admit that he was a man of great talent and strategy, and he had the aura of a natural king, but he might always be indebted to this son.
"Ahem-------"
Osiris coughed to stop the situation in the hall. He stood up, looked around with sharp eyes, and finally fixed his eyes on Anubis, showing a kind face.
"My dear son, you are the pride of our Egyptian empire. Thank the gods for giving us an invincible army. I, Osiris, welcome you back on behalf of the will of the Sun God."
Anubis saluted Osiris and said, "Thank you father for your blessing."
Osiris nodded, his face seemingly filled with relief. Then he gave instructions to Yamat and the others.
"Amp has just come back. Don't bother him with the affairs in the palace for the time being. Let him have a good rest for a few days. As for all the affairs of Monset, let Horus take charge of it for the time being."
The next words of Osiris shocked all the officials standing in the hall. Did they hear it correctly?
Pharaoh Osiris did not give King Anubis a generous reward, but asked him to "rest". The meaning of this sentence seems to be very profound.
The Yamat party didn't buy it, and they looked towards Anubis. The other person's face was natural and did not reveal any inner emotions. It seemed that the person Pharaoh Osiris was talking about was not him.
The officials who supported Anubis were very dissatisfied with the Pharaoh's words. Yamat wanted to continue to say something to protest against the Pharaoh's decision, but was stopped by Anubis's eyes.
He took a step back knowingly, as if the king had other plans.
Pharaoh Osiris saw clearly. Of course he knew that more than half of the officials in the temple were from Anubis, but so what? Anubis was always his son, and as long as he was still Pharaoh, he would
Have the power to make this decision.
"Yamat, please go down and carefully select ten women from Esther for King Anubis, as well as a box of gold, silver and jewelry as rewards."
"As for the officers and soldiers who have made great contributions in the army, they will all be rewarded. The commander-in-chief will make the arrangements."
"yes"
Yamat and another official beside him took the order. Everyone looked at Anubis. At this time, all his actions will be scrutinized by everyone.
"Thank you father for the reward." Anubis raised his eyes and saluted Osiris very calmly, as if he did not have any dissatisfaction with his arrangement.
Osiris sat on the throne again, and he stared closely into Anubis's eyes. Although he was wearing a mask, his inner emotions could still be seen through his exposed eyes.
When he saw Anubis' calm eyes, Osiris's heart relaxed for a moment.
Silence fell in the main hall, and everyone felt sorry for the Pharaoh's will. They did not expect that King Anubis, who had made great achievements in war, would be treated like this by his father.
If word of this decision reaches Memphis, within a day the entire city will be complaining about it.
Some officials also boldly speculated that the Pharaoh had been recuperating in the inner palace during this period, and it seemed that his brain was not working well, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.
"King, His Highness Horus wishes to see you." An Egyptian soldier came in quickly to report, thus interrupting the strange atmosphere in the palace.
Hearing the name of Horus, Pharaoh Osiris finally showed a real smile on his face.
"Call him in."
The soldier followed the order and left. After a while, a man wearing a red linen gown walked in elegantly. His steps were like the wind and his figure was slender. His long hair was spread behind him, giving him a bit more charm and enchantment.
.
He stood on the main hall, looked towards Anubis, slightly curved his mouth, and nodded with a faint smile. Then he saluted Osiris.
"Father, my son and I are late. Horus is very sorry that he was unable to leave the city in person to welcome his brother back."
When he said this, he seemed to be sincere, and Osiris smiled faintly.
"Your brother won't blame you, but my father wants to settle a score with you. Why did you come here so late?"
Horus raised his head and looked at Osiris, his eyes full of respect.
"My father always reminds me to be as brave and powerful as my brother, so during this time Horus has been practicing intensively in the military camp outside the city."
Pharaoh Osiris was very pleased after hearing what Horus said. He couldn't help but feel happy that his most beloved son finally knew how to work hard.
He had always understood that Horus was extremely intelligent, and he also understood that the conflict between him and Anubis could never be resolved.
Osiris had already anticipated a fierce battle between their brothers in the future, so in order to keep his youngest son, he had to plan everything for him before he left.
"It's good that you have this idea. My father is very pleased."
He looked towards Anubis, his voice full of sincerity, "Father, I hope that you brothers can support each other, love each other, and carry forward the future of our Egyptian Empire."
Anubis and Horus looked at each other, and both of them silently saluted "Yes"
Osiris knew that the grievances between their brothers could not be resolved in a short while, and he could only pray that they would not fight each other cruelly in the future.
After taking a look at the officials above the main hall, Osiris looked tired and waved his hand:
"Today's discussion ends here. Anpu has a good rest. When the army enters the city in three days, Monset will hold a grand celebration to celebrate the victory of the war."
All the officials saluted Pharaoh Osiris. He stood up, raised the scepter symbolizing the Pharaoh, and left the temple with the support of the maids beside him.
After Osiris leaves
The officials above the main hall congratulated Anubis one after another, but the other party simply responded with greetings. There were not many emotional expressions on his face from beginning to end.
Horus leaned lazily on the divine pillar next to him, his eyes filled with great ridicule and contempt. He had always hated the officials in the palace who boasted about flattering them.
Looking at the man who was tightly surrounded, Horus's eyes flashed fiercely.
Feeling that a pair of extremely lethal eyes were looking at him, Anubis looked up. Their eyes were facing each other. There was no words, but the brief exchange between the eyes was full of undercurrents. Murderous intent overflowed...
……………
Anubis raised the corners of his mouth with the same provocative smile. They had not seen each other for several years, and Horus's character was still the same.
It seems that they have lived too peacefully these years.
Anubis closed his eyes and stopped looking at him. He said a few words to the officials beside him, and then walked towards the outskirts of the temple.
When he reached the door, he took advantage of the tall steps outside and looked towards the entire Monset. The higher he stood, the wider his eyes could see.
What just happened in the temple was still vivid in his mind. Anubis sneered. Osiris's decision was within his expectation but beyond reason. However, Anubis had already become numb.
Because his heart had already become as hard as iron when he was twelve years old, and the family affection he had for was not worth the slightest value in his heart.
Looking up at the blue sky, he showed an arrogant and bloodthirsty smile. What did he see?
Memphis will be baptized with blood in the near future. A long-prepared fierce battle is about to come………………………………..
