Climbing the watchtower on the city wall, one could see the most open loess land from Pisini City's perspective. Amidst the rolling hills, a triangular structure, gleaming with golden light, stood prominently.
That was the Pyramid that instilled immense fear in all Egyptians; even a small Pyramid could pose a significant threat to the city!
"Those undead are truly brainless; they mistake a mirage for a real Pyramid," Mo Fan muttered, gazing at the distant Pyramid mirage.
"Undead are like that; they really don't have much intelligence. Especially the undead here in Egypt, they are completely Pharaoh's slaves, even more brainless," Jiang Yuan said.
No one here understood the undead better than he did.
Compared to China's undead, Egypt's undead were all oppressed and enslaved by Pharaoh, with clear class distinctions and a strict hierarchy.
"Old Jiang, why don't you summon all your undead tomorrow? Let's finish our training quickly, then head to Venice, the City of Water," Mo Fan suggested.
"No, I don't plan to summon undead in Egypt," Jiang Yuan shook his head.
"Your undead are so strong, why don't you plan to summon them?! What's wrong with letting me be lazy?!" Mo Fan was indignant, then his expression immediately changed as he fawned, "Old Jiang, just let the undead out, I really want to be lazy~~~"
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped, quickly distancing themselves from Mo Fan.
Jiang Yuan also got goosebumps and quickly said, "My undead are China's undead, not of the same origin as Egypt's undead. If I summon them, it might attract stronger undead. Understand?"
"I see!" Mo Fan suddenly realized.
That was indeed the case.
The appearance of China's undead on Egyptian soil would inevitably attract the attention of Khufu, the ruler here.
He could not allow China's undead to slaughter the undead he enslaved.
So, he could only kill China's undead, or rather, transform China's undead into Egypt's undead!
After observing for a while from the tower, everyone left and returned for a simple rest, making full preparations for the training outside the city the next day.
Time flew by like a white steed.
After the moon set and the sun rose, it was early morning on the second day.
The China National Team members woke up early and arrived outside the city, but they were still not as early as the local mages.
The local mages had already formed long lines, fully prepared.
The person responsible for receiving the China National Team was a capable female mage in her forties, Strategist Finna of the Pisini City Defense Military Department!
"You will follow the team forward, and once we reach the destination, we will rely on you to clear out those mummies!" Strategist Finna said solemnly to Jiang Yuan and the others.
"Please rest assured, we will give it our all!"
Jiang Yuan's powerful response greatly reassured Strategist Finna.
Joining the team, everyone followed, getting closer and closer to the Pyramid mirage.
The area within a hundred li of the Pyramid was considered territory by the Egyptian undead, allowing no living beings to trespass.
Pisini City had already pushed the military camp's position to a hill only twenty-five kilometers from the Pyramid!
Today, the military's goal was to advance another five kilometers.
"Every advance will provoke many mummies to attack us. Ordinary mummies won't pose a significant threat. Currently, the only thing that gives us trouble are those Poison Gold Mummies; their venom causes a lot of problems," Strategist Finna explained to Jiang Yuan and the others.
"So, what's our target?" Guan Yu asked.
"Poison Gold Mummies," Strategist Finna said.
"You're entrusting such a dangerous target to us; you must provide good support," Mu Ningjiao frowned.
"Don't worry, we will absolutely not put you in danger. Your safety is the most important thing!" Strategist Finna said seriously.
Beside her, East Commander Wangkos hesitated to speak.
He highly doubted whether this group of young people could handle such terrifying creatures.
Poison Gold Mummies were undead that had caused heavy losses even to their elite vanguard!
The team arrived at the frontline camp.
Without stopping, they immediately stepped into the sleeping grounds of the undead.
The Egyptian military magess led the way, directly bringing Jiang Yuan and the others before the Poison Gold Mummies.
And they were thoroughly awakened by the arrival of Jiang Yuan and the others.
"Nnnnngh~~~~~!"
Strange roars emanated from their dry throats, sharp and piercing, carrying an intense evilness.
"Charge directly?" Flames surged around Mo Fan's fists.
"Yes, be careful of the Poison Gold Mummies' venom. To catch the bandits, first catch their king. I'll go kill their leader!" Jiang Yuan nodded, then charged alone into the swarm of Poison Gold Mummies.
Seeing this, Strategist Finna, observing the situation from a distance, was startled.
"Did these students not learn combat in their academies? How dare he charge in alone?!!!" East Commander Wangkos was shocked.
And this was one of China's most outstanding students?
He was simply a brainless idiot!
"Dispatch a vanguard team immediately to rescue the student who charged in!" Strategist Finna quickly gave the order.
"Isn't this sending our elite vanguard to their deaths? Is it worth it for these students from China?" Wangkos was very reluctant, immediately raising his doubts.
Strategist Finna looked at him and explained, "I have already promised not to let their lives be threatened."
There was more she couldn't say aloud: more than one Forbidden Curse mage had specifically contacted Egypt, demanding that the safety of the China National Team be guaranteed, especially the captain, whose safety must be ensured!
Otherwise, according to her principles, she would never exchange a vanguard team for a student.
"..."
"Alright." Wangkos conceded after a brief silence, turning to dispatch the vanguard team.
On the other side, various magical lights shone within the swarm of Poison Gold Mummies.
Even in the sky, nine mighty fire dragons soared, each time they dove towards the ground, they would burn many Poison Gold Mummies to ashes!
"You all retreat! Our East Vanguard Team is taking over here!" The East Vanguard Team arrived, loudly telling Mo Fan and the others to leave the combat area.
Mo Fan turned his head, grinning, "Don't worry, we can handle the Poison Gold Mummies."
"Retreat immediately! We are here to rescue your captain!" The East Vanguard Team leader didn't want to say more, his tone becoming extremely stern.
"Pfft~~~~~ Chiii~~~~~!"
At this moment, the Poison Gold Mummies seemed to realize they were no match for Mo Fan and the others, each spewing poisonous mist from their mouths.
In less than a minute, this area was enveloped by a dark, golden-green poisonous mist!
"Oh no, get them all out of here!" The East Vanguard Team leader panicked, immediately ordering his subordinates to take Mo Fan and the others away.
Mo Fan and the others suffered some physical effects from inhaling a small amount of the poisonous mist.
