Chapter 21 The Naval Battle of Cassio (Part 2)

The Greek district under Alexander was close to the royal city. Because the Ptolemy regime was always a nobleman from Macedonia, the royal city was always near the Greek district, not the Egyptian district or the Jewish district. This district is also the most beautiful and prosperous place in the entire city. All naturalizations are built according to the standard "Ipadams" (commemorating the first sub-Greek engineer Ipadams who proposed this planning model). The drainage channels, green plants and winding colonnades are surrounded by the city. The streets are neat and uniform, the buildings are evenly symmetrical, and the temple groups, the judicial groups and the squares are each in their place. Several robed figures hurriedly passed by several official residences painted white to block the sun, and then brought the terrifying news to the royal city that "the Roman army and fleet have begun to penetrate the Nile Delta."

In the palace, Beniniki and Archilaus were wearing Egyptian clothes and sat side by side on the lion's leg chair with pale faces. The fountain below was pulled from time to time, spewing out crystal water splashes, but they were not in the mood to appreciate it.

The Pharaoh couple was originally planning to enjoy the Valley Feast Festival in Thebes, but the Restoration Army's Libidaus soldiers took a strange move and detoured to the Great Herod kingdom of Asia, and then took Perusim to attack Egypt. Although the route was extremely tortuous, it was still successful. So the two could only lead the Holmahi army to hurriedly leave Thebes and return to Alexander to stabilize the morale of all parties.

But the morale of the army is no longer something that Beniniki can stabilize, and no matter whether it is the foreigner Achilaus, according to the spy's report, Libidaus openly liberated the Nubian black prisoners of war after the battle of Perusim, and distributed their fields and property. Now in the Delta area, not only small river fortresses, but also commercial post stations, most of the Nubian mercenaries with weapons did not flee without intention to resist, but were willing to lead the way for the restoration army.

Her father, the original Pharaoh, the phiro who was the kingdom, followed behind the Restoration Army. He kept mentioning the abandonment of darkness and turning to the light that was willing to accept the old general. Now the long curly eyelashes under Beniniki's blue eyeshadow were trembling, because she clearly saw that several military leaders in front of the palace were whispering in the shadows between the colonnades. Many people spoke disrespectfully when they met their husbands and their wives secretly. Although they were frightened by the power of Achillus's Kongwu and the elite power of the Hormahi Legion, these people had not dared to take action yet. But the female Pharaoh clearly felt that the clouds of rebellion were silting.

"I immediately took the garrison of Idawui with the Holmahi army, crossing the Nile River, and going to resist the restoration traitors." Finally, Achilaus stood up from his seat and promised his beautiful wife, "It is still time for me to launch a powerful counterattack, they will have to retreat to the wilderness, and most of them will have to die in the desert." It seems that Achilaus is still cautiously optimistic about the battle situation.

Who would have thought that Beniniki was excited, she shed tears and grabbed the corner of her husband's clothes shortly after her wedding, and said, "Take me on a war with the plate made of reeds, and we used this barbecue wild duck or pheasant in the military camp on the banks of the Nile, and then I will let you enter my legs freely and happily. We are like real couples, enjoying perhaps the best and the last time-I don't want to stay in the royal city, I am afraid of becoming a prisoner of greed and betrayal. They forced me to the throne, but now they still think I can wait for the price."

The entire hall was filled with eunuchs and officers walking around with unpredictable expressions. The news of the squadron's defeat had spread to all the powerful figures. This was much scarier than the destruction of the entire army. Fortunately, we still had the capital to negotiate with the Pharaoh and the Romans, and only the couple was still sincerely supporting each other.

Three days later, in front of the Alexander's tomb at the cross of the Boulevard, Achlaus was covered in military uniform, next to the female pharaoh's carriage, followed by the Holmahi Legion in full Macedonian armor style, and walked out of the royal city on the northwest island, heading towards the unknown desert and the Nile River.

But when they walked out of Alexander City, the commander of the fortress of Idawuyi suddenly changed his mind and refused the request to send troops. The part of the Holmahi army stationed in the fortress here also obeyed the commander's request, "It is absolutely necessary to maintain the same respect for both sides when the Pharaoh's royal family strife." This is the excuse they explained to the soldiers that they could not go out to fight.

Along the way, in the gloomy country houses, people were celebrating the River Valley Feast Festival. The family hall was filled with mourning music and confused smoke. People were singing songs, carrying statues of gods, and remembering the ancestors and relatives in the underworld. In this bleak atmosphere, the royal guards who Arclaws went to resist, constantly escaped in groups of three or three. When these soldiers ran away, they also carried gorgeous armor and shields, because the gems and gold inlaid on them were funded by the Pharaoh, which could be pawned with a lot of money.

There were fewer and fewer followers and soldiers around the Pharaoh and his wife. When they arrived at the Nile River, the rushing and flooding river water overflowed on both sides of the river bank. In the opposite sunset, the flags and camps of the Restoration Army were in a very orderly manner.

In the campfire and the camp, Libidaus sat upright in the middle and kept receiving the envoys of the powerful and military officers in Egypt. They all carried piles of wealth and a servile tone, and asked the commander to eradicate the rebellion and welcome the Pharaoh's flute player to the royal city, and then he would speak a few words in front of him, keeping his wealth and official position, and not let the Pharaoh's anger of revenge affect them.

"These treasures are worth 100,000 Drakhma? Okay, Alp will take them away. This was sent by the head of the defense of your nomad people. I believe everything he said, and ask him to stay at the Libyan border and prepare to welcome His Majesty Pharaoh's prince to return. In addition, Sabo registered all the funds in the account book." Li Bida opened the box in front of him and said loudly. In fact, these treasures were more than 300,000, but the account book said that it was.

At this moment, Petternius and Anthony walked in and reported to him the Arcilus army's defense on the other side of the river. "Was that general still coming? But now I will not take him seriously. I have a powerful fleet and 15,000 soldiers. More than half of the Egyptian generals have lost to me. The commander of the Idawui Fortress, the military commander of the capital, and the head of the nomadic defense have sent envoys. The general who came from Bendu, the guy who called himself the son of Mitradati, is afraid that even the guards around him will escape?"
