Chapter 1005

The 11th day of the 2nd month of the second year: On the edge of the Red Sea, this was the Hebrew autonomous region newly planned by Ramesses II, and across the Red Sea was the road home for this group of Hebrews.

Standing in front of these Hebrews, Ra II sat on the throne and looked down at them:

"Today is the agreed-upon day. I promised Lin Ye that as long as you want to go to Jianan, I will never stop you! Now, it is time for you to decide for yourselves."

After Ra II finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. He just watched this group of people quietly, as if he didn't care about whether they stayed or left.

And at this moment, the 400,000 Hebrews below fell into an uproar. They looked at each other and then argued fiercely:

"I want to go home! I want to return to our hometown!"

"Old man, what are you going back for? That place is now a place ruled by the Canaanites. Go back? Just relying on your old arms and legs, are you going to send your head to them!"

"God will guide us!"

"But, staying is actually not bad. The great Ramesses II has already forgiven us. I believe staying might be better; at least we don't have to go to the battlefield."

"But, that is our home, our homeland."

"Home? A home we haven't been back to for 400 years? We were born here; this is our home!"

For a long time, these people split directly into two camps. On the left, there were about 300,000 people, and most of them were young people. They chose to stay and live here.

And the remaining tens of thousands of old people still wanted to go home.

Moxi watched this scene before him, and he suddenly fell into a daze. He might not have understood yet why these people suddenly didn't want to go home.

Then what were his previous efforts for? He almost fell out with Ra II for these people, almost killed Ra II's son—what was he doing all this for?

At this moment, he suddenly felt that his previous behavior was like a clown.

"Are you feeling dazed?"

At this moment, Lin Ye appeared by Moxi's side. He patted Moxi on the shoulder and then told him silently:

"Do not regret what you have done. You must understand that although your behavior was all in vain on the surface—and indeed it was—it is precisely because of you that these Hebrews got rid of the fate of slavery. They became true people who could live for themselves. This is your success."

That's right!

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Moxi's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, his eyes suddenly became firm.

He took two steps forward and came directly before Ramesses II, then knelt on one knee and said resolutely:

"King, please allow me to take these people away. Since I have accepted the oracle, I should see it through to the end."

"You!!!" Ra II looked at the Moxi before him in anger. This guy, why was he so stubborn! There were nearly a million Canaanites living there; just relying on your tens of thousands of old, weak, sick, and disabled people, you want to fight back? What do you think those people are? Do you think they are just eating for free?

Ra II wanted to refuse right then and there. But, looking at the firm Moxi before him, Ra II finally didn't let the word "no" out of his mouth.

He knew this brother of his too well; no one could stop what he wanted to do.

Ra II subconsciously looked at Lin Ye, wanting to ask for his help. And Lin Ye didn't say anything; he just smiled and pointed to the staff that Ra II was holding, which he had gifted him. In an instant, Ra II understood Lin Ye's meaning.

"Moxi, since you have already made your decision, then I cannot stop you. This staff is my most precious thing. Now, I gift it to you. I hope that when you see it, you can think of me, and think that this is your home forever."

After Ra II finished speaking, he handed the staff to Moxi before him. And Moxi also took the staff with both hands and nodded solemnly.

Moxi led 80,000 Hebrews out of Egypt. On this day, Ramesses II led a 400,000-strong Egyptian army and hundreds of thousands of Hebrews to see him off.
