Chapter 28: Fleet Entering Port (2)

Caesar, anxiously ordered the soldiers to stay in the camp, and he took a boat to find the closer island of Tamsui, because he could find an island called Paratonium on Alexander's map, but when he found the island, he realized that it was one hundred and thirty Romans from the Cape Aquinos. It was a delusion to rely on this round trip distance to solve the supply of water from the army.

Caesar also considered transporting freshwater directly from Faros Island, but the residents of the island also began to besiege the moored fleets and troops in Hetius, and the situation on the other side was also very embarrassing - "This Palatonium must have been made mistake by the drawing. There must be another island producing freshwater near the entire city. Believe in fate." Caesar held the drawing in vain and said such words repeatedly, riding out of the cape on a small ship, but the oarsmen and soldiers shouted that they were thirsty. Caesar could only ask them to secretly send some people to swim to the land at the mouth of the Nile River to find some freshwater.

After a while, the wolf smoke on the shore ignited, and the people who were still on the boat shouted anxiously. Caesar, whose lips were cracked, hurriedly held the side of the boat and found that many Egyptian cavalry suddenly rushed out of the forest and grass on the shore, surrounding the people who went to fetch water.

"Go away quickly, the enemy will definitely know from the captives that I, Caesar, are on this ship!" Caesar quickly ordered the anchor to leave.

But several bonfires quickly burned, which was a signal to ask the warships to attack in the dock of the Iposian royal dock. In an instant, Ptolemy's naval commander brought out the four decked ships that had been hidden at hand, and a group of reed boats, all of which were taken out. Because he captured the most valuable target, namely the Roman dictator.

In the sound of war drums, the Egyptian fleet surrounded Caesar's ships. While fighting bravely, the crews above rushed to send flag signals to Faros Island and the Yaquinos Cape, asking them to come and help as soon as possible, "Don't cry, even if bad luck comes to me today, it is a destiny!" Facing the personal slave crying loudly on the deck, Caesar cursed angrily.

At this moment, Li Bida's fleet arrived. These fast warships followed the wind and saw the battle on the sea, and rushed in quickly. Seeing this, the Egyptian naval commander asked the flagship to turn around and run. The remaining reed boats were burned to pieces by the bellows flame cannons ejected from Li Bida's ship, and the dead bodies floated all over the sea.

But the wind was still very strong, which caused most of the ships in Libida's fleet to float down the wind and then fell to Faros Island before they fell to anchor. At this time, Caesar's ship turned around and returned to the Cape Aquinos. So Libida temporarily met with Hitius on Faros Island. After meeting, the two parties hugged enthusiastically, "This is my asylum. If it weren't for his loan back then, I would have been in debt and sold out the entire industry." This was what Hitius said in front of his subordinates.

"What, the besieged ship just now was the dictator who was riding?" Li Bida said in surprise after learning the situation. Then he decided to take a four-row boat with Queen Yan and the guards in the next day, and rushed into Yaquins and contact the dictator's team.

The next morning, Li Bida put the plan into effect. He asked Macmillan to hang a hideous sea beast pattern on the mast and install a terrifying sharp-mouthed horn. This was particularly effective for the timid Egyptians. No ships came to intercept them, so they could enter the bay smoothly and board land to enter the Caesar Camp.

"The soldiers' water shortage is very serious. They cannot dig out the well water, and the canal was cut off by the Egyptians. What's even more terrifying is that we will die of thirst when the rest of Xiaoya's reinforcements arrive." At the dance floor of the Grand Theater, Caesar was still thinking about the real location of Paratonium Island, staring at the charts on the shelves, so that when Li Bida and his party arrived, he said such words without even looking back, then grabbed the bald head and touched his chin, looking very distressed.

A very feminine voice sounded, "The island logo on this chart is wrong."

Caesar turned around in surprise, but the Egyptian noble woman stepped forward and pointed at the eastward position of the Nile River estuary with her fingers. "The island of Paratonium should be here, and the direction is completely wrong."

"So that's it." Caesar exclaimed, and then he immediately stood up, saluted Cleopatra politely, and asked each other about his name and identity.

"My daughter Cleopatra has always been your most loyal sponsor. As for the newly ascended child, I think you can compare the two, because it is not difficult to choose one of the two." When the fire-burning stone bullet fell in front of the theater door, Libidaus, who was standing behind, said this to Caesar calmly.

Caesar nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Even if I have an answer to this kind of thing, I have to survive, right?"

As a result, Cleopatra smiled slightly, raised two oak branches like magic, and asked Caesar, "Even if you find that island, your thousands of people will not be relieved at all. Therefore, according to the ideal you just mentioned, the military camp still needs well water."

"Well, although this is very polite, I have to say, respected lady, when you use branches to dig my tombstone with ivy, you can't dig out the well water. Besides, we can't confirm the location of the water source, which is the most troublesome." It is obvious that Caesar likes the girl opposite very much.

"But isn't there the word "Ptolemy' in this world?" Then, Xiao Yanxiu walked out of the theater and came to the camp surrounded by houses. She was holding crossed oak branches in her hand. Li Bida hurriedly asked several Medegi Guards to accompany her as guards, and many soldiers in the camp sat on the ground, sitting under the roof that stretched out to resist the enemy's stone bombs, pointing at Cleopatra in surprise and talking.

Queen Little Yan paced back and forth slowly, her eyes just looking at the branches in her hand, and even Caesar stood at the exit of the theater, looking at her figure.

Suddenly, Cleopatra stroked the two branches with her hands, muttering with her lips, and the branches were swimming between her slender fingers like two small green snakes. Finally, Xiao Yanxiu walked to the alley between a house and smiled and said that there was a clear source of water below.

The soldiers shouted disdainfully, saying that they did not believe in the tricks of this young and beautiful witch. However, the little queen said seriously that she herself was the incarnation of the goddess Isis, and everything in the land could not escape her insight.

"Do as she said." Caesar gave the order.
