Lancelot stayed in the camp to reorganize the army. Except for Anno, several other Knights of the Round Table, including the Storm King, stayed behind. Although it was the last moment, some training could still help these knights increase their combat effectiveness.
.
Perhaps the increase is not obvious, but in such a war, even a small improvement is necessary.
The journey in the desert is already familiar to Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, and their traveling speed is much faster than when they first entered the desert.
Contrary to the last time I came here, there was no wind and sand around the temple, and there was no wandering figure of the Sphinx.
Therefore, the group of people approached the temple of the Sun King easily.
However, new problems besides the Sphinx have also emerged.
That is - how to get in?
"Leave the oral message to me, but how to convince the Sun King requires your efforts, Fujimaru Ritsuka." Annuo said seriously, "This king is not the kind who can persuade just by obeying his words.
The king of.”
"I understand." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.
Annuo said nothing more, turned around and walked to the closed door of the temple.
There is no doubt that Ozymandias has definitely noticed their arrival, but he still closed the temple tightly as he does now...
Looking up, An Nuo pondered for a moment.
Is it because of the original agreement that he didn’t want to kill Fujimaru Ritsuka?
Smiling and shaking his head, Annuo took a deep breath.
Then, he raised his left leg——
boom--!!!
The loud noise scared Andersen: "Hey! What happened!?"
Annuo looked at the temple door that he had kicked to pieces, and expressionlessly patted the dust on his boots and armor.
He turned around and showed a reassuring smile to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was sweating coldly, and then walked into the temple alone through the broken door.
"... If you go in like this, will the person with a voice similar to mine really not fall out?" Andersen looked at the huge gap at the door of the temple, feeling a little... uneasy?
"Probably... no, Ramses II, he shouldn't be a person who cares about such trivial matters..." The corners of his mouth twitched, and Fujimaru Ritsuka forced himself to calm down.
To be honest, she didn't even believe what she said.
How can you come to a door-to-door negotiation and then the first thing you do when you enter is to kick the door into pieces?
But...since Mr. Anno did this, he must have his own reasons, right?
Moreover, gaining strength requires negotiation, and negotiation requires showing off your skills.
But...is this really a show of skill?
...
Annuo entered the temple and walked along the familiar road.
The torches on both sides of the road gradually lit up following his footsteps, but Annuo knew that the Sun King was definitely not welcoming him.
on the contrary......
I'm afraid it will be much more difficult this time than the last time I came here.
As expected, Annuo walked into an empty room not long after.
And what is waiting for me in this room is——
A sphinx.
But this Sphinx is different from the ones we encountered before.
First of all, this Sphinx is very tall, dozens of meters long, with huge wings that seem to cover the sky and the sun, and there are pharaoh-like decorations on both sides of its face.
Of course, the most important thing is the face of this Sphinx.
That's not a human face.
To be precise, it's not a face.
Rather - something like a starry sky.
Zheng——
The chalk was instantly unsheathed, and the face of the strange Sphinx was already glowing.
Buzz——
A broad and trembling beam of light was emitted from the Sphinx's face in just an instant.
Annuo was extremely fast and jumped to the side to avoid the Sphinx's beam.
But...the beam of the Sphinx will rotate and follow the head.
Frowning slightly, the magic power was output, and Baichao emitted white light. Annuo did not continue to dodge, and slashed at the beam with his sword.
"--snort!"
Zheng——
boom!!!
The beam was directly split into two by Anno, the strange Sphinx's moves were interrupted, and a painful roar came from the strange face.
However, before it could shake off the pain, Annuo's foot had already kicked over.
Bang——!!!
"Roar--"
With another roar of pain, Anno kicked the side of the Sphinx's head, knocking the Sphinx over.
The Sphinx struggled to get up, but Anno's sword was already placed on its neck.
The Sphinx froze and did not dare to move.
Annuo shook his head, stood up straight, and put away the chalk, thus ending this battle that almost only took place in an instant.
"This level of testing is a bit too boring, Sun King."
The Sphinx lay on the ground and backed away with a low body, obviously not planning to attack the monster Anno anymore.
"......snort."
After a long period of silence, there was an unhappy snort, and then a stone door appeared on the wall in front of Annuo. Behind the stone door was a brightly lit walkway.
With a slight nod of greeting, Annuo continued walking towards the depths of the temple.
There is no doubt that Ozymandias is definitely in the main tomb, and this road is the one he walked last time.
Not long after, Annuo entered a larger, wider, and more luxurious stone room.
Ozymandias, who was sitting high on the throne, had a stinky face as expected.
Nitocris stood beside him as before, looking at Annuo with strange eyes.
"Is this how you say hello again? White Knight."
"Kick Yu's door to pieces and beat my pet." Ozymandias looked down at Annuo with coldness in his eyes, "Do you want Yu to execute you here?"
?”
"If it can be done, of course Your Excellency the Sun King can try, but... I didn't come here to die here." Annuo bowed slightly and said humbly.
"Are you doing it for that little girl standing at the door?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the Sun King's face, "So she defeated the Lion King? Or what, she actually came to Yu's temple now, because she wanted to
Do you want Yu to kill her?"
"Of course not." Annuo shook his head and said, "I will only tell her her purpose, not help her."
"She is here to form an alliance, and she plans to convince you personally."
"Hoo... Convince me yourself." The smile on Ozymandias's face grew stronger and gradually turned into laughter.
