Then, the archer who shot arrows at the guards spoke.
"It was...it was the city lord who gave me food so that my mother could be saved!"
"City Lord, the City Lord is my benefactor!"
"I, I'm going to kill you!"
"You spies! How dare you, how dare you, disguise yourself as guards of Holy Egypt and enter Matruh!"
"I, I will make sure you never come back!"
As the archer finished speaking, his expression became more distorted, but something in his eyes seemed to become much firmer.
Obviously, he no longer cared about what the guards said.
When the city lord saw the archer shoot another arrow, he shouted excitedly.
"That's it, that's it!"
"Kill a spy and I'll reward you... one deben gold coin!"
"Kill a spy and you'll get one Deben gold coin!"
The city lord raised his voice and kept repeating this sentence.
The eyes of those soldiers who were originally hesitant completely changed at this moment.
A hint of ferocity gradually appeared in their eyes, and on the city wall, more and more archers began to pull their bowstrings and aimed at their targets.
"What?!"
"Are you crazy?!"
"Your city lord actually has so many gold coins. Don't you have any doubts about this?!"
"He must have pocketed the food, so he could..."
Just as the guard was speaking, several more "whoosh" sounds passed by his ears.
This time, there were two bows and arrows.
"Shut up! Spy!"
"If it weren't for the mayor's food and this salary, we would have starved to death in Matruh!"
"It was the city lord's food that saved us and gave us hope to survive!"
"So what if we're guards from Holy Egypt? The people of Holy Egypt have never really taken us seriously!"
"The city lord asked them for food aid this time, but they actually refused!"
"If the city lord hadn't prayed to the gods all night long to give us so many fish, who knows if famine would strike Marsa Matruh again in a few months!"
"Whether you are guards of Holy Egypt or spies of the enemy, you all deserve to die!"
"You all deserve to die!"
The archer repeated it twice, and then he raised his bow and almost fully drew the bowstring.
The guards who saw this scene realized that the situation was hopeless.
Because they have heard the sound of more and more bowstrings being drawn, they know that soon there will be dense arrows flying towards them.
"Guardians of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! The time has come to sacrifice!"
"Change the formation, let's control their city lord first!"
One of the guards said this, and then many guards surrounded him.
This formation can relatively protect the people in the middle of the formation.
Simply put, it is a formation that uses the outermost people as shields to protect a part of the people while they move, thereby achieving strategic goals.
Apparently, the guards also decided to risk everything to complete the orders of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
"Swish swish!"
The moment they started to move, dense arrows rushed straight towards them.
Although the guards fought hard, many of them were hit by arrows, but they relied on their experience to avoid being hit by arrows in their vital parts.
"Keep shooting! Keep shooting!"
The city lord then began to move on the city wall, and then continued to order his soldiers to attack the guards.
Just as the second wave of dense arrows flew out, some guards who found it difficult to avoid the arrows simply stood up straight.
Because this can help the warriors behind him block a few more arrows, and at least before he dies, he can make more contributions to fulfilling the orders of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
Just as they puffed out their chests and prepared to face death, a golden light suddenly flashed around the guards.
"What?!"
"What is that?!"
The golden light was like a solid protective shield, breaking all the arrows and sending them flying.
All the archers were shocked by this scene. They just opened their mouths wide and looked at this incredible picture.
“Bold!”
"How dare you, you rats, attack the guards of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Then, a voice like thunder came from above.
Everyone looked up at the sky, and they only saw three figures slowly descending from the sky.
One is a god surrounded by golden light.
“What is that?!”
"Is that the God of the Desert and the Nile!?"
Many soldiers immediately recognized the identity of the God of Golden Light. After all, in Holy Egypt, no one did not know the name of this god.
Then, there was an old man whose whole body seemed to be surrounded by sunlight.
"ah?!"
"That's it! That's Lord Nantong!"
"It's Lord Nantong from Cairo City! The personal magician of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Many people recognized the identity of one of the old men.
After all, with that long robe and the ability to float in the sky, people can naturally clearly recognize the other person's identity.
The last person was surrounded by golden light and magical energy like the sun. No one could see his appearance or his clothes.
But the man and god beside that person were enough to shock everyone here.
Everyone just saw three people coming from the sky and slowly falling to the ground.
And when Nan Tong's feet landed on the ground, another thunder came out of his mouth.
“Kneel down!”
"I said, kneel down!"
As soon as Nan Tong finished speaking, a terrifying magic shock wave spread throughout the entire city of Matruh.
All the people who were touched by this magic immediately fell to their knees and stretched their arms out.
"Thank you for your hard work, my warriors."
"You have performed a great service today and bought us some time."
"Although I failed to complete the assigned mission, I don't blame you."
The person who spoke was still surrounded by golden light and magical energy, but all the guards immediately knelt on the ground.
Even the guards with arrows stuck in their bodies knelt down without caring about their injuries.
They even vomited blood and didn't care at all.
"Nantong."
The person in the middle surrounded by light spoke softly, and Nan Tong cast a spell again, turning the arrows into sand and dust, which flowed out of their bodies.
As for the torn wound, the bleeding stopped immediately.
On the other side, the city lord on the city wall was trying desperately to move his limbs, but he found that his limbs seemed to be filled with lead and he could not move at all.
The only thing he could control was his head, and he could only lift it slightly.
At this moment, he saw that the golden light and magical energy around the man in the middle were dissipating.
Then his eyes widened.
