Upon hearing the sound of the horns, Ramses ' face suddenly turned frosty.

This is the Hittites ' call to attack!

Bai Xiaowen said softly, "They've finally arrived... The Hittites reinforcements are here sooner than expected."

In the north, a torrent of iron bypassed the Kadesh City and surged into the battlefield, forming a pincer movement with the Halab Legion in the south!

This is another Hittites legion, the vanguard of the Hattusa Legion, the royal guard named after the capital!

Although this vanguard force numbered only two thousand, it dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Egypt Amun Legion. In the heat of battle, the enemy's reinforcements arrived before their own, which was extremely demoralizing.

Last night, Bai Xiaowen refused the mission to deliver the message, so Ramses instead sent other messengers to urgently order the other three Egypt legions to reinforce the Kadesh battlefield.

To be on the safe side, Ramses sent out multiple batches of messengers along different routes to ensure that the message reached his allies.

However, a last-minute request for reinforcements is certainly not as fast as a pre-planned troop deployment. With the arrival of the Hattusa Legion's vanguard, it was only a matter of time before the main force of the legion joined the battlefield.

Egypt soldiers charged desperately towards the southern front, but the Halab Legion, reinforced by Hittites commander, General Holimu, rallied their remaining strength and fought to the death. The situation was turning against the Egypt camp; besieged on two fronts, the Egypt soldiers could no longer maintain their original formation of chariots and infantry and began to rout.

Ramses roared, "I need warriors to take the head of that Hittites for me!" He pointed at Holimu, the commander of the Halab Legion.

"I think Pharaoh is watching us," Li Shuyi said quietly after glancing over.

Bai Xiaowen calmly fired a shot at an Elite Tier Hittites officer, knocking him down. "We can't go... Don't worry, the Pharaoh has plenty of warriors under his command, the difference between us two won't make a difference."

Sure enough, a roar rang out, "Obey the Pharaoh's command!"

A half-naked, muscular man wielding a giant axe led a squad of Elite Tier Egypt guards, charging into the Hittites ranks like a scythe of flesh and blood, aiming straight for the enemy general. This muscular man was Samp, a loyal subordinate of the Pharaoh and a powerful level 7 strength-type Boss Tier.

The group of Elite Tier guards following behind Samp were all the Pharaoh's personal guards, an important force in maintaining the Pharaoh's authority!

This elite squad launched a charge with extraordinary momentum, sweeping away all who stood in their way. In an instant, the morale of the Egypt soldiers soared, and they launched a counterattack with shouts of excitement.

Suddenly, the Pharaoh's throne shone with a dazzling light, and a golden light curtain opened up, protecting Pharaoh Ramses within it.

"An assassin!"

"Protect the Pharaoh!"

The remaining Elite Tier Egypt guards around Ramses cried out in panic. The golden light barrier was the sign that the Divine Runes inscribed on the Pharaoh's Golden Chariot had been activated, and it was the last line of defense protecting the Pharaoh. It was simply unbelievable that it had been triggered silently.

A somewhat ethereal figure appeared beside the Pharaoh's golden throne chariot. He had high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a slender body like a bamboo pole. With a sinister smile, he plunged a dagger into the neck of the chariot's horse, swiftly killing it.

In this way, Ramses's throne chariot lost its mobility.

Elite Tier Egypt soldiers surrounded them.

Suddenly, a powerful roar rang out, and a burly, muscular man charged toward the Golden Chariot with heavy, rhythmic steps! Elite Tier Egypt soldiers along the way were tossed aside like rag dolls.

One of the Elite Tier Egypt officers, possessing considerable strength, managed to block the burly figure's sudden Ambush. However, the next second, the burly man unleashed a powerful punch, striking the officer's chest and abdomen like a pile driver, causing him to stagger backward. He then followed up with a clean and decisive whip kick, sending the officer flying into the air.

The first to appear was a thin, stick-like man who appeared like a ghost behind the Elite Tier officer, Triple Stab with a dagger and killing him.

"Protect the Pharaoh..." The Egypt Elite Tier guards quickly moved towards the Golden Chariot.

Just then, a hissing sound rang out, and cries of pain echoed from among the Egypt Elite Tier guards.

"Scorpions! There are so many scorpions... Ouch..."

A swarm of scorpions, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, emerged from the ground and began to devour the Elite Tier guards. Although the scorpions themselves were small and did not inflict much damage, their venom was quite deadly. Those bitten often experienced mental confusion, dizziness, and a significant reduction in their fighting ability.

"So they came too..." Bai Xiaowen sighed and said in the Team Channel:

"It's Zhalun, and his two teammates... the strength-type one is called Basong, and the Agility Specialty one is named Bicha! They are both Hero Class, so be careful of Ramses ' safety!"

Li Shuyi agreed and quickly rushed towards Ramses II, or more precisely, towards the agile awakened one Bicha, beside the Golden Chariot!

It was already early morning, and Li Shuyi's equipment, skills, and ultimate abilities had almost fully recovered. As for Bai Xiaowen, although he couldn't summon the five dead Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier yet, he could already summon the Butcher who was killed yesterday afternoon.

Bai Xiaowen preserved his strength and did not respond to Ramses ' call to kill Holimu because he was waiting for this moment.

Suddenly, a giant skeleton with a tall stature and a greatsword appeared before Basong, the awakened one.

"A mere Elite Tier creature dares to block my way?" Basong sneered. "Die!"

Basong slammed his shoulder into the Skeleton Champion, who suddenly raised his greatsword and unleashed Whirlwind Slash; the two collided.

Basong only swayed slightly, while the Skeleton Champion staggered back several steps. One used a normal attack stance, while the other used a skill, yet the outcome of their clash was completely reversed! This could only mean that there was a significant difference in their strength.

However, before Basong could even get a foothold, a fierce wind swept from behind him, and an Rageclaw delivered Rend, leaving several bloody gashes on Basong's muscular body with a hissing sound.

In a 2v1 battle, Skeleton Champion and Rageclaw joined forces to temporarily freeze the power-type Awakened One, Basong.

"That giant wolf... Damn it, it's the little lamb from Huaxia Country that's getting in the way!" Basong roared. "Bicha! Kill that guy!"

The slender Bicha suddenly shook his cloak and, like a ghostly shadow, rushed towards Bai Xiaowen at lightning speed.

"Stop right there!" Li Shuyi attacked Bicha with her twin swords crossed.

With two sharp, metallic Pure Note, Bicha, gripping his twin daggers, blocked Li Shuyi's longsword. His expression was chilling as he said, "Little girl, why are you in such a hurry to die..."
