The Desert Empire has the same system as the Holy See. It is also a country that unites politics and religion, but it only believes in the God of Fire, one of the twelve main gods.
The highest authority in the empire was not the king but the Zoroastrian Church. However, due to the lack of due protection from the Lord God, the power of the Zoroastrian Church was declining. Later, the Federation of Chiefs who elected the king became the most powerful in the desert empire.

Chapter 33 Life and Death Fight
His Highness Afti has no such worries. The prince understands one thing: the Desert Empire is a country with relatively indifferent royal power among the empires. It is slightly stronger than the Mercenary Empire. Without the support of the Federation of Chiefs, it is useless to sit on the throne of the king.
It makes no sense. It is impossible for a natural-born soldier like Chi Aotian to do something that would damage his invincible reputation for a symbolic throne.
To take a step back, even if the rebels in the city knew Chi Aotian, His Highness Afti was convinced that the young general would definitely send him out of the city before talking about anything else. His Highness the Prince did not say such words, but his attitude was quite
Make it clear - ask Chi Aotian to escort him into the city.
Immediately, Chi Aotian, Qing Luo, and Ta Yang were sandwiched into the prince's personal guard. Elder Qing Luo also asked a group of elf knights to take off immediately to monitor everything happening on the ground and report immediately if the police were called.
Just after walking a few miles, we could already faintly hear the sounds of fighting in the city! Everyone's hearts were lifted.
Soon, the Elf Vulture Knights came down and reported that the city of Mumbai was now in a mess, with conflicting crowds everywhere, many of whom were neatly dressed soldiers, who should be putting down the rebellion.
"Your Highness Afti, can you send your personal guards to the city gate to find out what happened?" With due caution, Qingluo drove the camel past Chi Aotian and suggested to the prince.
"Your Highness, this is best. If it is confirmed that there is a major riot in Mumbai and the defenders are unable to maintain order, then we will not be accused of treason by mobilizing the army." General Hussein agreed in a low voice.
A group of camel riders pulled their camels and ran quickly towards the city.
20 minutes later, the knight captain returned: "His Royal Highness, the city gate officer said that several community bishops of the Holy See triggered riots in the past few days, and His Royal Highness the King was stabbed and slightly injured. Now, His Royal Highness Prince Bin Laden has been instructed to lead the city.
The defenders put down the riot."
Oh? That’s it. Afti and the guards let out a long sigh at the same time. The second prince bin Laden is known as the first brave man in the desert empire and has a high reputation in the army. With him controlling the soldiers, the city of Mumbai
There shouldn't be any big problems.
"Let's go and kill all these damn infidels!" the eldest prince cursed fiercely.
"How could the Holy Holy See establish a diocese in the capital of your country?" Qingluo was a little confused. The Desert Empire believed in the God of Fire, which was equal to or even older than the God of Light among the twelve main gods. How could the power of the Holy Holy See enter?
What about the capital city of Mumbai?
"This..." Afti's face turned red: "It's hard to explain this matter. It's all the Chiefs' Federation's fault. If it weren't for them, how could they have lured the wolf into the house?"
"Hmph." Tayang said coldly, scorning the Desert Empire's inaction. No matter what the reason, no one should be allowed to snore on the side of the bed. No matter what the reason, how could other religions be put aside?
Entering the imperial capital, this is simply ridiculous.
The soldiers accelerated their march. Half an hour later, the yellow city walls of Mumbai appeared in front of them. Outside the west city gate, nearly a hundred desert soldiers lined up to greet them. At a glance, there were no senior officers who encountered such a big riot in the capital.
Under the circumstances, I think the senior military officers are inside maintaining law and order or guarding the palace.
"His Royal Highness, you are finally back." An officer with a blue feather in his hat ran over quickly with his adjutant: "Yayati, the commander of the 3,000-man team of Bombay City, respectfully invites your highness to enter the city."
The three officers had traces of smoke on their bodies and faces. They had obviously just arrived from the city to greet the prince after being notified.
"Well, thank you. Who rebelled? How was my father injured? Where is my brother now?" Afti asked a series of questions...
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, His Majesty is only injured in his hand. His Highness the Second Prince is patrolling with his personal guards. I have asked someone to inform him. I believe His Highness the Second Prince will definitely come to greet you. Do you want to wait for His Highness the Second Prince?"
Shall we go into the city after we get here?" The leader of the Thousand People bowed and answered.
"Well... no need. I will go to the palace to see my father first. When my brother arrives, please ask him to come to the palace as well."
In the desert empire, the relationship between the eldest prince and the second prince is relatively subtle. The desert people extremely advocate personal heroism, and in this regard, the second prince is one of the best. Therefore, there have been different opinions about the position of the eldest prince.
His Highness will definitely not wait outside the city gate for the second prince to allow him to enter the city.
"Yes." Yayati quickly stepped aside: "Open the city gate and respectfully invite His Royal Highness to enter the city."
The brass gate of the main city gate creaked open.
"General Chi, Mr. Tayang, Elder Qingluo, please come in." In his hurry, His Royal Highness did not forget the due etiquette.
"Your Highness, you're welcome, we are just your bodyguards." Tayang yelled and followed the prince closely.
As the 12th-ranked super warrior on the battle soul list, Qing Luo has been able to survive in the mercenary world for decades and remain standing. In addition to strength, the more important thing is to be cautious. Qing Luo's heart moved slightly as his eyes flickered.
.Then he gently touched Chi Aotian, and his eyes gave a hint.
Chi Aotian followed Qing Luo's gaze and frowned slightly: There seemed to be something wrong with the Desert Empire soldiers near the city gate. Upon closer inspection, Chi Aotian knew what the problem was. Normal guards
, no matter how important the position is, when holding the weapon, it is usually a virtual grip. This is the only way.
Only in this way can they stand at their posts longer, and these soldiers at the city gate clearly used strength in their hands. The meridians on the backs of their hands were as curved as blue earthworms. Only in the state of battle would warriors make such movements.
Could it be that... the situation in the city is still so tense? As a friendly force, we have to consider the good side.
Chi Aotian nodded slightly to Qing Luo, who calmly took off the emerald green short bow slung on his back along his cloak.
Tayan's performance was even more astonishing. He didn't look back at all, but in an instant he noticed something strange in the behavior of the two people behind him. His red face turned back, and after the two people glanced at him, he immediately discovered the problem. The old priest
The white eyes rolled, and they were filled with glue
A curse word flashed across his big copper eyes, which was really hard on the old pastor's eyes. Then he raised two angry fingers at Qing Luo and Chi Aotian from his cloak. The old pastor also
Not daring to raise his eyebrows, the long war hammer in one hand was immediately taken off silently.
The three of them chose to remain silent at the same time. It was not convenient to say anything to His Highness now, and it would have no effect. Perhaps these soldiers were just transferred from the city to suppress the rebellion to welcome His Highness. This action was not too much. Be careful.
Some, as long as you don't suffer a big loss. Chi Aotian led the camel to keep half a camel's head distance from His Highness...
The Crown Prince's camel had just entered the city gate when suddenly! There was a whistling sound from the tower above the city gate...
The knights of the guard felt the sound of wind above their heads and quickly raised their heads to look up... The sky saw nearly a hundred large bags of sandbags falling from the city wall, each weighing at least 100 kilograms. The knights tried their best to move the camels out of the way, but
, mounted
The reaction speed was not that fast at all. The camel knights were instantly knocked off their feet... Before the dust and smoke dissipated, sandbags inside and outside the city gate were piled up like hills. The knights who had not been crushed to death under the sandbags let out bursts of screams.
.
His Highness Afti was stunned by this huge change, and his tone trembled slightly: "What...what is going on?"
No one gave His Highness a clear answer, but suddenly a row of soldiers in white stood up on the wall opposite the city gate, holding long bows as tall as the full moon in their hands.
"Shoot!" With the command, the white arrows whizzed down like raindrops...
If there is no preparation in advance, no matter how brave the general is, he will die in this deliberate murder. Fortunately, Chi Aotian has already put the knight's square shield on his left arm. The moment he sees the rain of arrows whizzing in, Xing Aotian
Han's long sword was taken out of its scabbard, and the force of the sword did not stop for a moment. The sword's light enveloped the shield and the knight behind the shield rushed in front of His Highness the Prince's horse. Pieces of arrow feathers were torn into dozens of pieces by the long sword!
"Your Highness! They are rebels, retreat quickly!"
The officers lying in ambush on the wall could not imagine that anyone could escape from such a sudden attack. Of course, they did not expect that there was an elf elder with superb archery skills in the opponent's camp - the short light green arrows pressed against the wind and instantly turned into dozens of air shadows.
The archers were immediately named by the short arrows, and before they even had time to scream, the archers in white fell down listlessly.
Several Elf Vulture Knights in the air reacted very quickly and entered the attack state in the shortest time. The three short bows were drawn and released without stopping. When the first pot of arrows was shot empty, there were no more arrows near the entire city wall.
Archers are present in an attacking position.
In addition to the dark elves, the forest elves could not have imagined that there would be other races that would set such insidious and shameless traps. The four elves were really angry, and their men showed no mercy at all, and even killed people with their arrows.
"Du - Du -" the horns sounded, and the faces of the three senior officers of the Expeditionary Force instantly turned ugly. According to the experience in the Flower Language Plain, this kind of horn is only used by the Holy See, and only
It is only used when large-scale troops are deployed.
At this time, the total number of camel knights who were lucky enough to follow His Royal Highness the Prince into the city without being attacked by sandbags was no more than 10, and most of them were greeted by the arrow rain just now. Now the city gate has been filled with sandbags by the enemy, and it is no longer possible.
Return the same way. If you are really entangled with a large group of enemies, even if Chi Aotian calls for Li Long, it will be quite difficult to protect Afti from exiting.
"Elder, there is still a war near the palace in the middle of the city. Go there quickly!" The last two eagle elf knights in the sky flew close to the ground from the east.
Oh! Could it be that... the rebels haven't occupied the palace yet?
"Quickly go! Go to the palace and meet your father. Elder Qingluo, ask your people to notify the soldiers outside and come in!" Afti yelled, raised the sharp scimitar in his hand, and took the lead into the alleyway.
Qingluo followed His Highness closely. The short bow in his hand was like whack-a-mole, shooting down all the hostile soldiers who appeared from every corner. Tayang was not idle just now. Four sheep
The goat-headed monster screamed and swooped at the front, waving the sharp-beaked war hammer in its hand. Most cities in the desert are made of adobe structures. The adobe has become soft with age. The goat-headed monster smashes and destroys people when encountering them.
Break down walls.
Fortunately, His Highness Afti reacted quickly. A group of people had just escaped from the city gate. At least a thousand infantrymen rushed over with howls against the city walls on both sides. Among them were some white-clothed instructors! Chi Aotian resisted and rushed forward to fight.
Yu Wang, now, Afti must be safely escorted to the palace. Only in this way can he finally gain the support of the Desert Empire.
There were obviously high-level commanders among the rebels in the city, and they were high-level commanders of a certain level. A series of horns to mobilize troops sounded continuously from all directions. Wherever the horns sounded, there were shouts of killing!
Almost immediately after, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's guards at the center, soldiers rushing out of all the alleys screaming for death - Afti simply wanted to curse in his heart. What kind of rebel army was it that seemed to be at least tens of thousands?
What method was used to infiltrate the city of Mumbai? Did the city guards all grow up eating grass?
Unfortunately, the dire situation did not allow him to think too much. Two to three hundred white-clothed instructors rushed out of the nearest alley. The guard of less than twenty people had no room to dodge, so they slammed into them.
"Destroy these bastards!" Tayang roared, and rushed forward with his four evil guards. The sharp-nosed war hammer in his hand was like a strong wind sweeping down fallen leaves. The three white shields were instantly kited, and then,
Blood and screams flew up at the same time! Qing Luo followed closely behind Ta Yang, and every time he waved his arms, four short arrows immediately came into his hands, and then turned into air marks and disappeared into the enemy! Chi Aotian threw away the battle shield,
Hold Xinghan with both hands at the same time
The long sword broke into the enemy like a ray of white light, and the white light instantly put on red clothes. Afti had no choice but to summon his own sand lizard - the last time the phantom beast was seriously injured and escaped back to the phantom beast sanctuary, now
He has not yet fully recovered, and his body is still dripping with blood from time to time. Hussein has already summoned his mount. The remaining more than 10 camel knights and three elven archers in the air broke into this group of teachers like a tiger into a pack of wolves.
In the army.
Unexpectedly, the combat power of the two to three hundred instructors in front of them was quite weak. In just a few breaths, nearly half of the instructors were summoned by the Death Temple. During the fight, what surprised the soldiers of the Desert Empire was that these seemingly
The faces of the instructors, both young and old, clearly have the distinctive features of desert peoples - all narrow eyes, pointed and slightly protruding chins, and slender eyebrows.
"Asshole, Badaha, why is it you?" A desert knight suddenly shouted, even stunned for a moment.
The price of being stunned was that the first soldier in the Crown Prince's Guards fell. A short instructor took the opportunity to grab the back of the camel. While jumping up, he sent a half-foot-long sharp dagger into the knight's waist.
The knight's majestic body swayed, and as blood surged to the ground, the man also fell off the hump. Immediately, the knight's body was overwhelmed by the mess of weapons.
The young training soldier known as Badaha was also stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were cracked. As soon as he let out a cry of "brother", he was pushed to nowhere by other training soldiers who rushed up from behind.
Although the combat power of these old and weak instructors was not strong, they successfully entangled the guards for a few minutes. Within these few minutes, more and more soldiers rushed up from all directions, like a white and gray ocean that covered the middle
The camel knights surrounded him. The knights tightly protected His Highness Afti, slashing hard with the scimitars in their hands, and everyone was injured.
Only when Elf Elder Qing Luo fought back again did he realize that there was no more arrows in the quiver behind his back! When was the last time he shot all the arrows empty? While such thoughts flashed through his mind,
The elder smiled bitterly and pulled out the short blade of the elf protection from his boot.
