1605 The Red Deathlight of Dusk (2/2)

What was that?

The deathlight?

Since when was the deathlight as red as dusk!?

Was it from the Great Pyramid of Giza… judging from the angle and direction it was coming from, it was most likely from the Great Pyramid of Giza, but why would it suddenly emit such a shocking deathlight!?

”Captain Saks, what the hell is that?” the lieutenant asked in a trembling voice.

”How would I know!?” Saks snapped.

The streets were soon filled with screams. The situation went out of control once again. The noise was driving Saks mad.

”We are screwed, it's the end, it's the light of the apocalypse, it's a sign that our city is about to face destruction!”

”Is it blood? Is it dyeing the sky with blood?”

”Respectable Pharaohs, please show some mercy to your arrogant descendants, please recall your army of undead!”

”Gods help us!”

The city descended into chaos when the rare phenomenon occurred. More people were demanding the gates open up. The army and government had to use magic to stop the crowd's tantrum.

It was surely going to ruin the government's reputation. They might be able to calm the crowd for now, but they had no idea what the people were going to do next!

The Square Tower...

Fenna and Haken stood in front of the window. They could see the light soaring into the sky before heading towards the Red Sea.

”Did...did they actually do it?” Haken's face was filled with excitement.

The third phase of the war was tougher than they had imagined. Even Haken could not predict what was going to happen next. The light of the setting sun was like a glimpse of hope for him!

”It's from the Great Pyramid of Khufu, but why is it red?” Fenna said.

”It's because that's the real deathlight! That's its original color in the Dark Plane. Khufu only stole it to produce the air that the undead could breathe in!” Haken said confidently. He was brimming with excitement as he added, ”It's been so long, I thought they had joined the rest of the burial objects that were offered to Khufu… who would have thought, who would have thought! Fenna, thank you so much, you recommended such a reliable young man to me!”

Fenna was overjoyed too, but she had a lot more on her mind. She said, ”Commander, we are now at war with the Pyramid of Khafre. Even if they successfully manipulated the Great Pyramid of Giza's deathlight, is it enough to stop the war?”

They were not being attacked by the entire army of the undead. This war was only between Cairo and the Pyramid of Khafre.

Since Cairo was Egypt's capital, if Cairo lost the war, it would affect the whole country. Even if they could find a way to fend off the undead in the end, they would still suffer great losses!

”There's only one Underworld. Do you think the Pyramid of Khafre won't be affected once the door to the Underworld opens?” Commander Haken said.

”So that means if we hurry up and guide China's undead into the Underworld, it will lift the pressure from our shoulders?” Fenna smiled as she understood.

”Exactly! The teeth are going to feel the cold without the lips. If the Great Pyramid of Giza is under attack by China's undead, there's no way Khafre is going to ignore it. God bless Cairo!” Haken placed his hand on his chest.

”Commander, God isn't the one blessing us...” Fenna said.

Haken was stunned for a moment, but he soon came to a realization.

Yeah, did God have anything to do with it?

He initially thought it was a ridiculous idea. He did not have much hope in it, even though he agreed to it, but to his surprise… that young man was seriously Cairo's savior! Even though he was only doing it to prevent the undead of his country from stirring up trouble, he still managed to bring a long-awaited peace to the Egyptians...
