"Tonight, we can go to Hades, the god of the underworld to have dinner." - Spartan King Leonida said to the soldiers during breakfast before the Hot Spring Pass.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This was simply magical. The entire camp, including Caesar, began to cheer and praise after being shocked. Cleopatra, holding the oak branches in his hand, also stood at the place where the spring water was pouring out, turning his head, and smiling proudly like a real girl under the rising sun. Her eyes seemed to fall on Caesar, but quietly crossed a Roman ruler behind his shoulders and another man.

When the men and horses were well drunk, the angry soldiers of the 10th Legion selected four vanguards and came to meet the dictator and the cavalry commander, claiming that they could now take revenge on the abominable Egyptians, because they actually raised a cloak with their spears on the street outside the camp, claiming that it was taken down by Caesar while swimming and fleeing in the previous sea battle and picked them up.

But Caesar had never swam, probably seized by the cavalry of the Gorta Legion on land and captured a Roman officer.

This cloak aroused the anger of the tenth legion, so they volunteered to fight.

"Now is bound to be the time for a counterattack, and General Sekdelius personally leads you to the battle." The answer of the cavalry commander Li Bida, standing on the steps of the theater, aroused the soldiers' cheers.

In the afternoon, the building strongholds that the Egyptians besieged the Roman camp were destroyed one after another, and they were wiped out one after another. The fire and smoke that soared into the sky, their siege towers collapsed one by one. The sound of the trumpets of the elite ten legions was directly transmitted to the city square. Their advance elite soldiers fought fiercely with the "elite soldiers" of the Gorta Legion selected by Ceptimius. After about one moment, the opponent completely collapsed. The blood from the fallen corpse directly spread to the upper part of the base of the sailing sculpture. It looked like the statue was really floating in the sea of ​​blood. The tenth legions, whose anger had not stopped, rushed directly into the large library where many enemy defeated soldiers were buried. They used torches to ignite thousands of papyrus scrolls stored inside, blocking all the defeated soldiers.

But Alexander's large library also turned into a huge burning brazier, and all the books of the thousand-year-old essence treasures were burned down. The fragments that were burned down in the fire destroyed all the houses in the surrounding neighborhoods in Rome.

On the corridor of the Coliseum with a circle wall, Cleopatra, who saw this scene through the window, was crying in her eyes.

This library is the glory of the Ptolemaic dynasty, but she didn't expect it to be destroyed at this moment. She has made great ambitions since she was a child to end the tragedy of the infighting of the royal family, which led to the weakness of the country. She did not expect that she would now become one of the protagonists of this tragedy.

"As one of your father's friends during his lifetime, I can't use the ruthless war to make excuses when seeing this scene. Some people say that burning a book is to kill a noble soul, so I can only express my grief for such consequences." Caesar stood behind and comforted him, and then asked Li Bida, who was having a quick meal with the generals over there, "Is there any way to avoid a similar tragedy repeating?"

"By bypass the city, enter the city gate by land, and then force Ptolemy to leave the city to fight to the decisive battle." Li Bida tore the bread in his hand, sandwiched a layer of dill in the middle, and responded while chewing.

"Dear Cavalry Commander, can you command all the current legions for me to complete this task?" Caesar raised his hand and asked.

Li Bida stood up and saluted a military salute, expressing his duty, but he then added, "But now is the time for you to make your official statement on the Egyptian throne issue."

"Oh." Caesar seemed to have realized something suddenly, raised the wrinkles on his forehead, then tapped the barbecue fork, and as a result, all the Gangzo and the Centurion stared at him.

"I know there is a new term now called 'Caesar', but I personally think it's better to refuse such praise, because I have no luck in the matter of Alexander. I originally wanted to mediate the dispute between my old friends and children, but now some children rely on some self-righteous cheapness to kill the Roman consuls, imprison the Roman general, ignore the peace and goodwill of the Republic, and use deceptive means to siege and attempt to kill the dictator. Now I have endured enough, and it is time to support a kind pharaoh and defeat an evil pharaoh. On behalf of the Dickitdo of Rome and the Senate, I formally recognize Cleopatra's rule over the Egyptian kingdom! And declare war on Ptolemy Thirteen, who transcends power and violates his father's will, I hope that I can still see him alive after the war."

"Poor child!" all the Roman officers yelled at the spoon and barbecue fork.

When Li Bida's fleet came, the Ipos Palace was in chaos again. Especially when seeing the fireworks in the large library, it made people under Ptolemy Thirteen feel even more panic. It seems that using the strategy of water cut off Caesar could not die. Some eunuchs proposed to cover the Pharaoh to escape as soon as possible and to escape to the desert in the south. Ptolemy Thirteen himself also roared or cried at the generals nervously, asking them what to do?

Shebekhu was still silent. Mothamenis knew that he was the culprit and was unable to avoid it, so he tried his best to instigate everyone to fight to the end. In the end, Serapion, who had been deposed, gave a suitable solution. Pharaoh should have left Alexander before Caesar's army arrived and went to the desert tribes on the border with Libya to take refuge. After all, Caesar's goal was only satisfied with plundering and tying Egypt to his own chariot. He did not have the energy and courage to execute the orthodox Pharaoh. He still had Pompey and had not eliminated. As long as we avoid the edge, we still have room for maneuver.

"It is too dangerous to go to the desert, not to mention that it is not in line with the dignity of the pharaoh." Diotus began to reject it, and then he suggested to the pharaoh that there were many old but still useful paddle boats in the royal dock, and that the craftsmen and the people should be mobilized to repair them, and then armed the patrol boats that used to collect taxes in the past. "Because I judged that the Romans would first try to block the city and the palace at sea."

Of course, Diotus had his confidence in making such a judgment, because this was what Li Bida sent a secret line to tell him, so the chief guard of the palace then said a seemingly reliable plan to address the hesitation of some generals, that is, to load small and fast patrol ships with dry firewood, fire, etc., and let them attack along the Qili Dike and burn the Roman fleet on Faros Island. In that way, the enemy will suffer extremely heavy losses, boost our morale, and win.
