"Your commerce has filled you with violence and sin." - The prophet Ezekiel warned the Phoenician king

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

In the evening, the fire of war in Alexander City dyed the sky red. Diotus was shabby in a scream and crying, his armor was torn, and his hair was burned halfway. He appeared on the side door of the Royal Palace of Ebos. He staggered, holding the potted plants and pillars, and slowly walked to the colonnade of the vestibule. The slaves of the palace screamed and ran around, as if the end of the world was about to come, "The God of Recession and Destruction is coming!"

The eunuch Mothamenis stood in front of the colonnade and saw the head guard's appearance, he understood that all the fleets were over, but then the battle situation in Diotus's mouth was even worse. The Roman army rushed over from Faros Island not only seized the barrier between the Qili Dike and the city, burned a bridge in the dock, and seized another one. The royal dock was almost leveled by the flames and stone bombs shot out by its fleet. If nothing unexpected happens, the Roman infantry and cavalry will rush into the city tomorrow!

"Now we have to make plans for the stay or leave of the Pharaoh." This was the request of Diotus.

Mothamenis was also ashamed. Unexpectedly, the Roman reinforcements only came to two legions and the offensive became so fierce. Indeed, the Ipos Palace could no longer defend, and the Gorta Legion was incomplete. Only Serapion's border guards had not lost their combat effectiveness because they had always guarded the palace and had not lost their combat effectiveness. If they wanted to escape, they had to take advantage of the present.

Before all the officials had finished their calculations, the Ipos Palace suddenly shook, and the Romans' crossbows and stone throwers in the Grand Theater began to shoot here again. The degree was even more violent than before. The statues and pillars began to shake and fall. Mothamenis and Diotuss hugged their heads and hid in front of a small palace altar under the protection of the guards. After about half a day, the Roman bombardment fell temporarily. "But Caesar's attitude was already very obvious. He resumed his attack on Ipos again. It probably means that he was determined to dismiss the current Pharaoh." The eunuch slowly stood up with the altar, "Everything now is full of strength to cover the Pharaoh's escape, but it is still necessary to delay time."

At this moment, they heard an angry scream, which was made by the young Pharaoh. He saw his thin and hunched body standing in the rolling smoke and dust, holding a stick and an axe in his hands, and with a wound scratched by stones on his forehead, looking at the two most trusted officials in disillusionment, shouting that I was unwilling to compromise with Caesar and my sister. I would attack them ruthlessly and kill all of them! As a result, the eunuch directly asked the guards to rush forward. He grabbed the Pharaoh and stuffed it into the sedan chair carried by the slaves. Then he told Theotusus how to delay time.

The other party volunteered to say, "I am a Roman, and I am also a "members" in the Subra District. Please use the Crown and Seal of Pharaoh for me as a token of peace talks, and then ask the Privy Councilor Charlesna to write a letter of surrender to see Caesar. In this way, I can buy time for Pharaoh to escape, and then I will take my things to catch up with your team again."

In the chaos, everyone ran separately. The eunuchs were planning to arrange something, but at this time, the stone bullets from the Grand Theater flew into the palace one after another. In the pool garden, everyone ran around like headless flies. So the figure of Diotus flashed and entered the back hall of the palace.

Late at night, Diotus stood in the middle of the dance floor of the Grand Theater, opposite him were the Roman dictator, the Pharaoh sister, and a large group of Roman officers and entourages. "Your Pharaoh, do you demand reconciliation?" Caesar said to the court guard, "You seem to be Dilinmo of the Subra District. I recognized you when I was young, but I didn't expect you to have such great success in countries outside of Rome."

"That's thanks to the help of the cavalry commander Libidaus." The other party replied calmly.

Caesar immediately understood, and then he laughed, and suddenly grabbed the crown of the Pharaoh and the scepter from the hands of Diotus, and then put it on Cleopatra's head. Then all the officers cheered loudly. Then Caesar took the Pharaoh's letter of surrender, looked down with his eyes and threw them all into the bonfire, and then said to Secretios, "If you lose the role of the crown, let my cavalry commander deal with him."

The next morning, Li Bida's vanguard cavalry rushed into the streets of Alexander. Most of the citizens took refuge in the temple. Many people knelt on both sides of the street, begging for the grace of the conquerors. The army armed by Joseph in the Jewish district also rushed out and guided the Roman army to quickly occupy the main strongholds in the city. Then, the cavalry commander led the Medegis guards and also passed through the Qilid into the city's main square. "Has the Ipos Palace been taken down?" he asked his generals.

When he learned that the army had only surrounded the palace and had not dared to enter before receiving specific instructions, Li Bida was furious and said, "A group of idiots who were ignorant of the flexibility, don't you hurry up and kill in now. Are you still waiting for the Tenth Legion to steal your glory?" Angandinus hurriedly ran to the front of the queue. The flag-holder and chief centurion Hebrida followed him and stood on the left and right. Then Angandinus made several gestures, indicating that the target was the Egyptian palace directly in front of him. Hebrida bared his teeth and jumped on the spot excitedly. After the commander of the army finished his verbal order, he shouted and held up his sword, leading the rest of the army soldiers to swarm into the palace.

Scipio in the dungeon was like a baboon with a alert and manic head, running around uneasy between the iron bars and the walls, raising his head from time to time, listening to the situation outside, and happened to see several castrated royal slaves appeared before him, all of whom were members of the previous envoys. Scipio recognized one or two of them, and shouted arrogantly in Greek, "Your Pharaoh is completely finished. The Roman army has dispatched such a huge force to save me. If these people are irritated again, the entire city of Alexander, the gods who run out of your bestiality will be burned by the anger of our army!" The few people were immediately scared.

He was about to collapse. He hugged his head and screamed a few times, then he randomly found the key left by the escape guard outside the jail, and released Scipio. Then Pompei's father-in-law laughed wildly, rushed out, and pushed the other party into the crocodile pond, panting and watching the boiling blood. Then he ran to the palace courtyard, grabbed a cloak, with a sword and a shield, and stumbled to the colonnade outside. At this time, the soldiers of the 6th Legion of Libida had run everywhere. Scipio shouted in the most standard Latin language, "Get in, go in, look, I have grabbed this diamond-shaped shield!"
