Desert Survival, when I entered a month in advance

Feng Chan and the other three almost thought they had misheard. Why was it not Damonze's name but Ayala's father's name?

But it was Sido's name that her mother kept repeating.

And judging from her condition, it is difficult for her to even stay awake. The only one who can take on the position of Pharaoh is Ayala herself.

There was no way she was unaware of her mother's condition, so she wanted to be the Pharaoh herself from the beginning, but out of caution towards strangers, she transferred the title to Xi Rui.

"Oh, without the Sun Scepter, do you think you can hold this position securely?" Ayala lowered her tone, trying to appear that she didn't care that much.

Because even if she exchanged the Sun Scepter for her mother, both she and her mother would only die one or two days later.

General: "That's why I captured the beautiful Queen Ciri. Can you bear to let her die?"

Ayala felt distressed but couldn't show it. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Whether I die today, or my mother dies, or everyone in the palace dies, you are not legitimate without the scepter."

General: "I can't get it, and no one else in this world can get it either. As long as I kill you, I can still sit on the throne of Pharaoh."

"Really? You'll know if you can go against the trust that has built up among the tribes for so long. Even Damonze doesn't dare to give up the scepter so easily. It's normal for you, a man with only brawn and no brains, to not understand."

Hearing Ayala's mocking tone, the general's face turned red with anger. If he really didn't want the Sun Scepter, he wouldn't have kept Ciri and would have killed her long ago.

But there are four weirdos on Ayala's side, and two armies are gathering outside. Damonze's old subordinates may not listen to him unless he gets the scepter and defeats Sido's old subordinates.

The throne of Pharaoh is not something you can just sit on. He knows this very well after following Damonze for so long.

"So Sido really gave the scepter to you?" the general asked suddenly. From what Xirui said, he knew that Sido was not good to Ayala in private.

Although it is hard to believe, after all, the relationship between the father and daughter shown to the outside world is very harmonious, with the father being kind and the daughter being filial.

Ayala: "Yes and no. Anyway, I am the only one who knows the location of the scepter. You are a good person. As long as you give up resistance now, you can still be your general. I promise not to touch you and your family."

When the general mentioned his family, his heart was pounding. Today's incident happened suddenly, and his family was still in the main city below. They had no time to evacuate. Now the two armies were fighting outside. What if Xiduo's old subordinates captured them?

Ayala seized the opportunity to persuade him, "You've trained diligently for years, rising to general through battle and military exploits. Yet, Damonze and Sido were afraid of your abilities and relegated you to a palace gatekeeper. But I'm different. I employ those who are capable. No matter what happened before, once I become Pharaoh, all debts will be wiped out."

The general was tempted, mainly because he had indeed been sidelined and his own power was too small.

The princess was young and inexperienced, so perhaps it was true? He still remembered how she had tenderly forgiven the imprudent servant in the garden.

Every time she met Ayala in the past, she was very polite and courteous. As a princess, she never put on airs in front of a servant. Even if the servants made mistakes, she would take the initiative to excuse them.

If he hadn't seen her confronting Damonze many times after he came to power, his impression of Ayala would still remain that of the fairy-like princess she used to be. However, he could understand why she confronted Damonze like that.

In general, the general still felt that Ayala was naive and simple-minded, and that she was forced to behave like this now.

"Seriously, do you dare to swear to the Sun God?"

For Ayala, who believed in atheism, this was too simple: "I swear to the great sun god that when I become pharaoh, I will forgive all the past mistakes of you and your family."

Even after hearing the assurance he wanted, the general still felt it was not enough: "Where is the Sun Scepter hidden? Tell me, and I will release Ciri."

All the soldiers behind him pricked up their ears. Although they couldn't get it, people always like to fantasize.

Ayala took two deep breaths and pointed towards the gorgeous gilded roof above her head as if she had made a major decision: "Up there..."

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang

Just when everyone couldn't help but look upwards out of curiosity, Qiao Zhi and Feng Chan took action.

Qiao Zhi shot the general, and Feng Chan shot the soldier next to him.

Qiao Zhi's spear skills have always been accurate. He was hit in the middle of the eyebrows and fell backwards immediately.

Several soldiers nearby were shot in vital parts of their bodies and died after struggling for a few seconds.

The other soldiers were frightened and in chaos. It was the first time for many of them to witness such a loud and invisible attack.

Feng Chan kept moving her hands until she emptied the magazine, and Qiao Zhi did the same.

A few brave ones rushed over and wanted to fight back, but were dealt with by Ning Qiao and the maids and the cook.

The hall was interconnected, and many soldiers ran away along the corridors, leaving the scene in a mess.

Ayala immediately ran over and helped Xirui, who was slumped on the ground, up: "Mother."

After a light cry, he took the initiative to check her injuries. In addition to some bruises from being hit, there was also a palm-sized wound on her back, which was bleeding continuously.

Her heart suddenly tightened. The soldier who was lying on the ground and was about to die took his last breath and quietly raised the tip of his spear and pointed it at her. Feng Chan was about to help, but stopped after seeing Ayala's actions.

She pulled out a dagger from somewhere, held it tightly in her hand and stabbed the soldier in the heart.

It was incredibly clean and neat, and he was quite calm afterwards, without any fear like the first time he killed someone.

She pulled back the dagger, and blood splattered everywhere. Her white clothes were already stained with many red spots. She wiped the blood on the dagger on her clothes twice and handed Xi Rui to the care of the maid.

Compared to her previous gentleness, anger, and inducement, she now had no expression on her face and was as cold as if she was a different person.

"Do you have any medicine?"

Since they have such sharp weapons, they must have more effective medicine. The wound on Xirui's back cannot be cured with the technology here.

Feng Chan took out a light green potion and said, "We want the Sun Scepter."

I've been watching for so long, and the Sun Scepter has played so many roles, it must be a good thing.

A conflicted look flashed through Ayala's eyes. Undoubtedly, she couldn't escape the fate of needing the scepter, but she was more concerned about her mother's injuries than the scepter. "Okay."

Feng Chan handed over the medicine, and she immediately fell on the wound behind Xirui. The bleeding quickly stopped, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, eagles cried outside and several eagles circled. The maid said happily, "Our people will be here soon."

It seemed that their people had achieved a temporary victory.

At the same time, inside the maze.

Liu Yu was standing on the mirror and chatting with the woman who had disappeared before.

"Ophelia, why did you call me here?"
