I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

After Li Yuan and Benny made their agreement, the desert returned to peace.

The mercenaries set up their own tent camp and did not make things difficult for Li Yuan and his group.

There will be a few mercenaries standing guard around to prevent anyone from escaping.

Seeing this, Li Yuan didn't care at all.

Instead, he waved and beckoned the still-shaken Rick, Jonathan, and Evelyn to come and have dinner together.

Several people walked over with different expressions and sat down next to Li Yuan.

Evelyn and Jonathan seemed a little downcast.

He only ate a few bites before putting down his utensils.

Rick's mood, however, was not affected.

He ate the roasted meat with gusto and asked Li Yuan in a low voice:

"Mr. Li Yuan, killing them must have been easy for you, right?"

Li Yuan did not answer, but simply nodded without saying a word.

Seeing this, Rick immediately felt relieved and ate even more happily.

However, after Rick had been eating for a while,

Suddenly, I noticed that Grace and Malacan, who were with Li Yuan, didn't come to eat.

Curious, he asked Li Yuan:

"Mr. Li Yuan, why aren't your men coming to eat?"

Li Yuan picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and explained with a smile:

"Grace doesn't eat meat, and Malakham is waiting for us to finish eating."

It's easy to understand why she doesn't eat meat; perhaps that girl is a vegetarian.

What does it mean to wait until after eating?

Thinking of this, Rick asked with considerable doubt:

"Why do we have to wait until we finish eating? Is it a rule?"

Li Yuan shook his head and explained softly to Rick:

"Because Malakham has such a big appetite, he only relaxes and eats freely after we've all eaten our fill."

Rick glanced at Malakan's physique and was speechless.

Judging from that guy's muscular physique, he must be a big eater.

Just then, a loud whistle suddenly rang out in the night!

Rick, who had been all smiles, suddenly changed his expression.

He warned the crowd in a startled voice:

"Oh no! It's those people!"

As Rick's scream rang out,

Suddenly, the roar of an engine echoed from the distant desert.

Li Yuan looked at Rick slowly and asked with a curious expression:

"Who are those people? Why are you so scared?"

Rick, at a loss for words, explained to Li Yuan:

"I don't know them either!"

All I know is that they always wore black robes and had special face paint.

They are a group of ruthless robbers!

The last time I wandered into Hamunaptrajaya, it was because they chased me!

Listening to Rick's description and considering the location, Li Yuan instantly guessed the identity of the person who had come.

These people are probably the legendary Royal Guard, also known as the Medjay, who have guarded the city of the dead, Hamunaptra, for generations.

They were a group of extremely brave and skilled warriors.

Their purpose in guarding this place is to ensure that Imhotep, the high priest sealed within Hamunaptra, will not escape.

Remembering the undead high priest who was full of weaknesses, Li Yuan reached out and rubbed the little black cat in his arms.

Li Yuan remembered that Imhotep was afraid of cats, and wondered if he was afraid of Hellblazer.

However, since I am the prophet on this trip, Imhotep should not be able to be awakened.

At this moment, the mercenaries, having received Rick's warning,

They also set up guns on the surrounding reverse slopes, aiming at the pickup trucks driving towards them.

Mercenary leader Benny called out loudly to the crowd:

"Brothers, focus! Listen to my command! Let them get close before you fire!"

Benny watched the three pickup trucks speeding towards him and thought to himself:

"There are quite a few of them, but I wonder what kind of weapons they're carrying!"

However, the next second, the other party showed Benny their weapon!

A blinding orange-red flame suddenly erupted from a pickup truck in the distance.

In an instant, the entire outline of the car was clearly visible.

Then a muffled thud reached everyone's ears.

An RPG rocket shot out, leaving a bright trail of flame.

With a sharp whistling sound, it pierced the dark night sky and shot straight toward the ruins!

Benny's pupils constricted, and he roared:

"RPG! Watch out! It's an RPG!"

Hearing Benny's roar, Li Yuan didn't dare to be careless.

He quickly pulled up the absent-minded Evelyn, and, holding the black cat, found a place to hide.

The next second, a loud 'boom'!

The RPG rocket hit a sand dune directly.

The two unlucky mercenaries were instantly killed by the explosion!

Benny waved away the dust that was kicked up, and spat.

He muttered a curse under his breath:

"Damn it! It's all that old bastard's fault, he didn't even say he'd prepare some heavy weapons for me!"

However, the Royal Guard did not give Benny a chance to breathe.

The next RPG followed, exploding once again on a sand dune.

Hearing the distant rumbling of explosions and the occasional screams of agony,

Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and mutter a complaint:

"These guys are really up-to-date; they even have RPGs!"

Evelyn had regained some of her strength by this time.

She looked nervously at Li Yuan beside her and asked softly:

"Li Yuan, can you handle those bandits?"

Li Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and casually replied in a relaxed tone:

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Evelyn gave Li Yuan a deep look.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be bragging, I felt relieved.

They carefully observed the situation outside again.

The distant explosions quickly subsided.

Perhaps they didn't carry many RPG rockets.

The Royal Guards merely bombarded the outer perimeter with rockets.

Then he drove his pickup truck over.

Benny, covered in sand from the explosion, quickly crawled out of his shelter.

He shouted to those around him:

"Brothers! Come out now, get ready to fight back!"

But very few people responded to him.

Clearly, Benny's dozen or so mercenary brothers suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this, Benny quickly looked towards Li Yuan and his group, who were hiding behind a tent in the distance.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in my heart:

"Those guys clearly have more men left than I do. Won't they turn against me?"

Thinking of this, Benny shouted at Li Yuan:

"Hey! Hurry up and help! Those bandits are attacking, you won't be able to escape!"

Li Yuan listened to the approaching footsteps in the distance.

He smiled and said to Benny:

"You don't need to worry about us. You should worry about yourself."

No sooner had Li Yuan finished speaking than a burst of gunfire erupted in the distance.

Those mercenaries who wanted to rebel,

Without exception, they were all shot dead by the Royal Guard.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Benny finally gave up struggling.

Helplessly, he raised his hands and weapons, and slowly stood up.

Upon discovering Benny, the Royal Guard immediately shouted:

"Stand still! Hand over your gun!"

Benny slowly dropped the weapon on the ground.

He even gave it a gentle kick, as if afraid of causing any misunderstanding.

But Benny didn't stop there.

Instead, he pointed with a sinister expression to the place where Li Yuan and the others were hiding.

He shouted at the group of Imperial Guards:

"I'm reporting them! There are people hiding there! They have guns!"
