At the council meeting in the palace of New Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar II was furious after hearing the emergency report of a general. His face twisted as he gritted his teeth and roared,"What did you say? Say it again.”
The general who was reporting saw the king's furious expression and was so scared that he didn't know if he should report again.
Prince Cynetis helped him out."Father, the spies have sent a secret report that Egypt has broken through to Israel and occupied Sidon. Zidkiah, no, Zedeia rebelled, and they joined forces with TransJordan and Israel.”(Cideria was the name that was changed after the fall of Zideria in the new Babylonian era)
"Damn it, they actually rebelled again and again. This king will never tolerate anyone's betrayal. This king will let them taste the consequences of betrayers.”Nebuchadnezzar II exuded a cold aura, and his gloomy eyes were filled with killing intent.
He paused for a moment before ordering,""Three days from now, I'll hold a wedding for Nitis. Consider it a reward for leaving the army! Prince Nitius will be in charge of the government for the time being. After the wedding, I will immediately send troops to the State of Israel. I want to raze Jerusha to the ground.”
"Destroy it, destroy it-long live Nebuchadnezzar II.”
All the officials raised their hands and shouted, their voices drumming and their horses slapping, their morale rising.
。。。。。。Time Dividing Line…
At the wedding banquet three days later, the music shook the sky, and the singing and dancing were peaceful.
All the soldiers of New Babylon had a short chat before saying goodbye to their families.
The soldiers were going to go to Israel tomorrow. Once they went to the battlefield, they would shed their blood and their lives were up to them. There might be a return date, and there was hope for reunion. It was also possible that their souls would return to the nine heavens and never meet again. The wedding banquet was supposed to be joyous, but there was an additional sorrow of separation.
When Ayis heard that her father was going to lead the army to Israel and threatened to destroy Jerusha, she was even more certain that it was not just a dream, but a premonition.
"No, I can't let this happen. I have to think of a way to go and try to stop the tragedy from happening.”Ayis secretly pondered. After thinking hard for a long time, she finally thought of a " bad idea."
She leaned close to her father's ear and said softly,"Father, I heard that the Temple of Heracles in Thebes is very magnificent. The statue of Heracles inside was 112 meters long and 56 meters wide. The entire building was supported by pillars, and one of the 7.5-meter-long statues was lying on the ground. With such a huge god statue pillar, one could imagine how majestic the temple was. I really want to go and take a look! Otherwise, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! Father, please bring me along on this expedition. I'll take a look at the statue on the way. As long as I can see the birthplace of Heracles and the statue of Heracles, my life will be enough.”
"Nonsense. We're going to war, not to have fun. It's a chaotic war, and a woman is very dangerous. Moreover, Thebes was so far from Israel, how could they be on the way?”The king knew that Ayis worshipped Heracles. He was her spiritual pillar, and he did not object to her worshipping the gods. However, he would never allow anything that would endanger his precious daughter's life.
"You can ask Ares to bring some good fighters to protect me. When we reach Israel, you can fight your own battles. I will go to Thebes.”
Ayis rolled her eyes and cried," Mother, why did you leave so early! Ayis is so pitiful! It was fine if he was a widow for life, but he couldn't even visit the temple. From today onwards, I'll go on a hunger strike. I'm going to look for you, Mother! Wuuuu-"
Mortira bit her lower lip, trying hard to suppress her urge to laugh. It was the first time in so many years that she had seen the princess throw a tantrum. It was rare!
