"Guards muster!"
"All guards, check your weapons!"
The captain of the guard stood on the steps. His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke sounded as if it had been carefully crafted. It was enough to make the guards under his management immediately puff out their chests.
At the captain's command, the guards drew their daggers at the same time and looked at the weapons in their hands.
"Third row, fifth from the left."
The captain of the guard didn't even raise his eyelids. He just took a quick glance and knew what went wrong.
"Fix your hilt cord."
"We are the Holy Pharaoh's guards. In this decisive battle, no mistakes are allowed in my team!"
The guard who was pointed out had cold sweat on his forehead and his fingers quickly wrapped around the leather again.
"Yes, Captain!"
The guards made deep, uniform noises.
In their eyes, apart from the Holy Pharaoh of Egypt, the Great Magician of the Sun, and Prime Minister Kamul, the person they admired most was their captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard showed his fighting talent perfectly after learning the fighting skills from the Hebrew captives.
Simply put, he can complete a trick that others need a month to learn in just half a day.
Moreover, he combined the fighting techniques he learned from the Hebrew captives and incorporated some of the fighting techniques of Holy Egypt to create his own exquisite fighting skills.
Even the leader of the Marasia tribe was no match for the captain of the guard when he was learning from him.
Not only that, even many elite warriors of the Holy Egyptian Alliance have learned his fighting skills.
His identity is not just that of the captain of the guard, but also the only "teacher" of the elite soldiers.
Therefore, apart from His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Lord Nantong and Lord Kamul, they respected the captain of the guard the most.
At this moment, the sound of chains shaking came from the chariot's baggage.
The captain of the guard suddenly turned his head and fixed his eyes on a soldier who was fixing the wheel.
"That axle is loose."
He pointed, then continued, "Tighten it another half turn."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then quickly leaned over to adjust.
Sure enough, after he tightened it as the captain of the guard said, the shaking of the chain immediately decreased a lot.
"Thank you, Captain of the Guard!"
The captain of the guard looked at the soldier and just nodded slightly in response.
Then, the captain of the guard walked to the front of the queue and took off the copper whistle from his waist.
"One last check!"
The whistle twirled between his fingers as he walked past the soldiers, looking at their weapons and armor.
The reason why he checked so carefully was not only because a great war was imminent, but also because the guards of Holy Egypt represented the pinnacle that the soldiers of Holy Egypt could reach.
Just being outstanding and able to fight ten people at once does not qualify you to join the guards.
Strictly speaking, a strong warrior is nothing more than an admission ticket to the guards.
Every guard who is selected to join the guard team and is chosen to protect His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is not only gifted, but also has extraordinary intelligence.
They are able to remain calm and make sound judgments in the worst situations.
"Before your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh leaves, I want to see a light in each of your eyes."
"The light of a warrior!"
"You are the guards of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"You are the most powerful warriors of Holy Egypt!"
"You are shouldering the most sacred and greatest mission of the Holy Kingdom of Egypt!"
"Protect, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
His eyes swept across the entire formation, as if measuring everyone's standing posture with a ruler.
The guards all made a sound like a roar.
"Yes! Captain of the Guard!"
"I swear to protect the great Saint Pharaoh until death!"
After taking a round of inspection, the captain of the guard finally smiled with satisfaction.
He knew that all the warriors were now ready.
As long as we wait for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to come out, we can set off.
So he raised his head and looked towards where His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was.
But strangely, he did not see the figure of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
On the contrary, there was a servant of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, jogging towards him from the stairs not far away.
"Captain of the Guard!"
The servant's eyes just met the captain of the guard who was waiting. Although he had not yet approached, the servant had already bowed to show his respect to the other party.
The captain of the guard responded with a bow of the same degree.
"Captain of the Guard, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh wants you to take two warriors with you immediately."
When the captain of the guard heard this, he simply bowed again.
"Yes, I'll go there right away."
But before he could straighten his hunched back, he heard the other party speak again.
"Sir, it's just that the strength of these two warriors is not at the same level."
"This is what the great Saint Pharaoh meant."
But when the captain of the guard heard this, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
He immediately understood what the other party wanted to express, which meant to bring two guards with a big gap in combat level.
However, all the soldiers who were able to enter this guard team were proficient in combat skills.
Strictly speaking, the gap between them is only the difference between forty steps and forty-one steps.
Among the guards, there was little difference between the best and the most mediocre fighters.
So he first asked all the guards to step back, and then signaled to the servants of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to let him take a step back to talk.
He also needs to confirm the news he received.
"You see, the soldiers here are all excellent soldiers selected from thousands of people."
"The difference between them is not that big. I wonder why His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh wants me to select soldiers who are 'not of the same level'?"
When the servant heard the captain's words, he just smiled and continued to bow.
"Captain of the Guard, there is no difference between heaven and earth."
"Just make your selection according to His Majesty Saint Pharaoh's wishes and go there as soon as possible."
After hearing what the other party said, the captain of the guard didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just bowed quickly.
"Please wait a moment."
Then he turned and raised his arm, pointing his finger at one of the guards in the line.
"you."
"And you."
"You two will come with me."
The two guards simply responded with a loud "yes", and then the three of them followed the attendants and quickly arrived at the location where His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was.
What they saw was His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh with a slightly raised smile.
In addition, there was a stranger who looked very thin.
But strictly speaking, he could not be considered a stranger.
Because the news of his survival in the dungeon had already spread throughout the city of Bethlehem.
“Here they come.”
"This is the captain of the guard of our Holy Egypt."
