Audience with Pharaoh (Third Update)
Perhaps due to his status as a slave owner, Heint was quite wealthy, possessing a total of twenty-four gold cards.
The kill rating is B, and you have two guaranteed draws. Additionally, Heint has a special item that is guaranteed to drop: Heint's Head. The description states that you can give this head to the leader of the Ancient Egypt faction as proof that you have killed the Hittites general Heint.
With this item, everything will be settled. The reason Bai Xiaowen went to such lengths to kill Heint in the Butcher's absence was to prove those two words.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi each have one chance to draw.
Li Shuyi drew first, but her luck wasn't very good; she only got a Blue Quality shield with attributes of +2 Constitution, +8 Armor, and it was a light iron shield that was Bind on Pickup...
Bai Xiaowen drew the second one, and after the golden light subsided, he received a hint:
"You have obtained the item: Hittite Rally Order."
[Hittite Rally Order: Allows awakened individuals to form a temporary team to explore the Spirit Realm together. The team size cannot exceed (3) people, and the awakened individuals' levels cannot exceed (7). After one plane exploration, the team will automatically disband. This item disappears after use.]
"Team-up items are out!" Li Shuyi exclaimed, somewhat delighted.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "It's a temporary item, not particularly valuable... Well, it's better than our Oath of Black Edge in terms of level and number of players. Theoretically, its maximum value... won't exceed 84,000 Psionic Points. That's the price for three Level 7 Hero Class to form a team using Psionic Points without any team-up items. But in reality, no one would be foolish enough to spend such a high number of points to buy it."
"Even if it doesn't sell for that much, someone should still want it for 30,000 to 50,000 Psionic Points," Li Shuyi said happily.
"Well, it also depends on luck. It's possible to end up with nothing," Bai Xiaowen said.
Most Awakened Ones are lone wolves. Unless they have the backing of a large guild and don't care about the Psionic Points needed to form a team, they will spend Psionic Points to form a team for the talents they are cultivating, or simply spend a fortune to buy a Permanent Team-Building Item.
As for some lower-level awakened individuals banding together for mutual support, or being lucky enough to obtain a low-level temporary team-up item that they can't sell, they might simply find a teammate to go into the Spirit Realm and have a big battle together, that also exists.
The awakened individuals Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi encountered, whether it was the United States duo from the King of Fighters Plane or Zhao Zhixiong Tai Shuisheng from the Jiajing Plane World, were all in teams; they never encountered a lone wolf. The reason is simple: in most cases, the Spirit Realm Rules will match loners together and team members together...
To maximize the value of this "Hittite Rally Order," a team of three Level 7 Hero Class is required. However, solo play is more common for Hero Class... at most, they can bring one or two Elite Class to compensate for their own shortcomings in certain areas.
There are relatively few Hero Class that stick together; they usually appear in super guilds. These awakened players will get a Permanent Team-Building Item early on.
In conclusion, this temporary prop looks high-end, but it's actually quite possible it won't sell... If the price is too high, no one will want to buy it; if the offer is too low, no one will want to sell it...
"How about... we feed it to our Elite Tier squad?" Li Shuyi suggested. "It can help them accumulate team experience points."
Bai Xiaowen laughed, "Miss... you really are rich and powerful. Squad experience points can be obtained by doing Elite Tier missions. Using something like that to level up would be a curse. It's only worth using if it's something that can upgrade an Elite Tier squad to Hero Squad... Obviously, this item can't do that."
After some discussion, Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to put the prop away.
After a long journey, the two arrived at the southern entrance of Bela Valley.
"Halt! You are... traitors?"
Two Egypt soldiers blocked Bai Xiaowen and his companion, their spears almost poking Bai Xiaowen in the face, their hostility evident.
"Wait a minute," Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "I have not betrayed Egypt. I have killed more than ten times as many Hittites as you have! I have important military intelligence and need to see the Pharaoh... To prove my words, please give this head to the Pharaoh, and he will summon me."
The Egypt soldier on guard glanced at Bai Xiaowen with some suspicion, then took Heint's Head and walked into the Bela Valley.
A few minutes later, the Egypt soldier rushed back. "The Pharaoh wants to see you!"
At this point, the attitude of the two Egypt soldiers on guard duty towards Bai Xiaowen had clearly changed. It was obvious that the label of "traitor" had been largely removed from Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi exchanged a glance and steadily walked into the valley.
In a sheltered spot in the valley, a campfire blazed brightly. On a throne adorned with gold and jewels, Ramses leaned back, his fingers lightly tapping a gem on the throne. Four Giant Lion lay lazily around Pharaoh Ramses ' throne.
Ramses wore a golden crown adorned with eagle heads, his beard was bound with gold rings, and his linen robe was decorated with gold thread, exuding an air of nobility.
"This is a born Master Tier." Bai Xiaowen had this feeling the moment he saw Pharaoh Ramses. This famous pharaoh in Ancient Egypt history was only a young man of about twenty years old, but he exuded a confident demeanor that made people unconsciously obey his commands and submit to him.
"I am very curious about you," Ramses began. "A traitor condemned by the high priest of Karnak Temple has brought me the head of a Hittites general—yes, I have had it examined, and it is indeed a Hittites head. You have rendered a great service."
"You say you have important military intelligence to report to me. Speak, and for the sake of that head, I'll give you plenty of patience."
Bai Xiaowen sighed, "Great Pharaoh, I bring you bad news. The Kadesh City before you looks delicious, but it is actually a deadly trap—while you led the Amun Legion deep into Kadesh City, the main Hittites army had already outflanked you to the south, blocking your retreat. And the other two Hittites legions are also rapidly marching towards Kadesh City; they may arrive tonight, or perhaps tomorrow morning."
"Therefore, I request that you withdraw your troops and quickly join up with the other three legions."
As soon as he said that, many Egypt officers and generals around him changed color.
"Kadesh City of Suliston (Syria) will become our backyard!" a Han Empire with a gold ring in his nostrils gruffly declared. "The Pharaoh has already ordered the entire army to rest, waiting for the sunrise of Amun the next day. After the warriors have eaten their fill, they will launch an attack on the lightly Kadesh City and take it in one fell swoop! And you dare to suggest retreating?"
