Davos stayed here for two days, where he received members of the Messenian Council and a small number of Messenian citizens, causing a stir throughout the realm. The high-ranking city-states of Sparta, Arcadia, Ellis, Argoth, and Corinth also came to meet with them, causing Davers to stay for two more days.

Five days later, Davers bid farewell to the Peloponnesian people, and the fleet sailed southeast, passing through Crete, replenishing sufficient water, and then sailing south.

The next 500-mile voyage was a little risky, but over the years, under the leadership of the Divine Kingdom of Dionia, it had become one of the most prosperous routes between the Western Mediterranean and mainland Greece and Cyrenaica and Egypt (the other route was to Carthage via Sicily and then along the African coast to Egypt, which had been chosen by the Dionian fleet for the safety of the king due to a storm in the Afrikaner waters last year that destroyed the fleet of the Egyptian envoy delegation).

The fleet had a smooth sail and did not encounter any trouble, reaching the shores of Cyrenaica without any problems.

Although Cyrenaica was once known as the sub-state of Sparta, Dionysia and Cyrenaica established friendly relations as early as the time of Dionysius' cross-sea expedition to Dionia, and this friendly relationship has been strengthened over time.

Since several waves of Cyrenanian troops had passed through Cyrenaica since last year, the Cyrenacans were not alarmed, and even quite accustomed to it, but when the messenger of the Dionian army informed the Cyrenanian high-ranking that "King Davers is in the army", these Cyrenanian oligarchs hurriedly asked people to prepare rich gold, silver and military rations, and then rushed to the temporary camp by the port to visit.

Davers patiently had a friendly conversation with them, and made it clear that Dionyas would also do his best to ensure political stability in Egypt during the war with Persia.

For the Cyrenanians, who have never suffered from foreign invasions, the war between the Dionyas and the Persians has no effect on them, the only thing that can affect the security of Cyrenaica is civil strife and famine, and the turmoil in Egypt will cause a large number of Libyans living in Egypt to flee westward, which will inevitably undermine the political stability of Cyrenaica, although the Dionian army helped Egypt put down the rebellion last year, but its new pharaoh has not been elected, which makes the Cyrenanian oligarchs always feel uneasy, Now with the assurances of the King of Dionia, they can go back with peace of mind.

The Dionian fleet rested for two days in the port of Cyrenaica, then continued eastward along the African coast, finally reaching the Egyptian coast in mid-February.

While Davers was leading the fleet to rest throughout the journey, the messenger of the clippers from Turiy had arrived in Egypt eight days earlier, and whether it was Arcistes and Tapyrus in Memphis, or Calcides in Pe-Ramses, they all led their officials to the city of Naucratis.

When Davers's ship passed through the checkpoint at the mouth of the Peleucia, a tributary of the Nile, and slowly entered the port, the Egyptian people who came to greet him let out a deafening cheer, which surprised Davers, who had not yet disembarked.

As soon as he stepped onto the dock, Arcises and the others immediately greeted him and bowed respectfully.

"On behalf of the people of the kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude for your contribution to the kingdom!" Davers also returned the salute solemnly, then looked around at the Egyptian people who were densely packed on the periphery, and asked curiously: "This is what you arranged?" ”

"We didn't make a big deal out of it because of security concerns, it was all their own initiative." Arcistes hurriedly explained.

"Oh!" Davers looked at the excited faces in the distance and asked with interest, "Are they from all over Egypt?" ”

"No, Your Majesty." "Most of them come from the city and the surrounding villages." ”

Naucratis was a stronghold provided by the Egyptian pharaohs for Greek mercenaries hundreds of years ago, and gradually developed into the only Hellenistic Egyptian town that regularly traded with the Greeks, and most of the city's inhabitants were of Greek descent, not to mention that most of the closer diplomatic and trade exchanges between Dionya and Egypt in the past 20 years were also carried out in this town, which led to the long-term settlement of some Dionian citizens.

Because of the uniqueness of the city of Naucrates, it was excluded and suppressed in conservative Egyptian society, like an island in the ocean, without any political influence on Egypt, and this time after the Diocrates reinforcements put down the rebellion in Egypt, they stayed for a long time and did not leave, and even recently sent from Memphis to the towns of the Nile Delta There is a faint shadow of the Diocrates, which makes the sensitive Naucretis realize that the political situation in Egypt may have changed dramatically, and this may be a great opportunity for them to turn over, That's why there is today's grand welcome scene, which is when the Naucretis show their loyalty to the king of Dionia.

Davers, of course, thought of this, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart.

At this time, a voice sounded in his ears: "Your Majesty, in fact, the people of other towns in Egypt are also very happy with your arrival, but because of the long distance and the rush of time, they have not been able to come here in time to greet you. The man who spoke stood at Ashistes' side, dark-skinned, slightly chubby, with a wrinkled face, a pinch of gray goatee on his chin, a slight bow on his upper body, and a flattering smile, looking at Davers.

Seeing that he was wearing a pure white short-sleeved linen robe, wearing a golden crown, and holding a slender cane, Davers had roughly guessed the identity of this person in his heart, but he still asked in surprise, "Who is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the High Priest appointed by Pharaoh Tanib during his reign, Amenhotep from the Temple of Karak, who has been greatly helped since we came to Egypt!" Assistes was busy making introductions.

Davers smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Arcistes has mentioned you many times in his letters to me, and you have given us great support!" ”

"Your Majesty, it is my pleasure to meet you!" Amenhotep saluted respectfully and said passionately in a slightly stiff Greek language: "You are the son of Amun, the lord of Upper and Lower Egypt, and it is my honor to serve you, and it is an honor for the people of Egypt, so you need not be surprised that they are gathered here, for all the people of Egypt will listen to your teachings with devotion in the future!" ”

Although Davos had already learned from Acestes' letter that the noble high priest had completely fallen to Dionia, his overly flattering attitude still surprised Davers, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Is it the great force of Dionyas that frightened these pampered Egyptian priests that made their knees so weak!

You must know that three months ago, the advance army led by Calcides not only eliminated the usurping Nicotani Persia, but also quickly put out the rebellion in other towns in the Nile Delta, and frightened Thebes, which was also a little turbulent (not the city-state of Thebes in Greece itself, but Thebes, the religious center of Upper Egypt), also quickly settled down. Subsequently, since December last year, other legions in the Kingdom of Dionya have arrived in Egypt one after another, counting the first and second legions that have arrived today, the Dionian legions in Egypt have approached 20 (including cavalry legions), and the huge strength of more than 100,000 people, coupled with its strong combat effectiveness, is enough to destroy the entire Egypt, how can Amenhotep not feel trembling!

Most of the people in the port of Nauclatis knew Greek, and when the high priest Amenhotep said aloud the title of "son of Amun, king of upper and lower Egypt," there was an uproar, then a burst of cheers, and then a fall to their knees, chanting in unison the name of "Pharaoh the Great and Noble Davers."

In the face of the cheers of the Egyptian people, Davos did not get carried away, he knew very well that Amenhotep called him so respectfully, in fact, it was also a temptation for him, so he smiled and said: "I am very grateful to the great Amun for giving me such a great mission, but the territory of Dionya is vast, and my energy is limited, I hope that the attendants of the god Amun can assist me and govern this ancient kingdom together, so that the Egyptian people can once again bathe in the light of the mercy of Amun God." ”

Amenhotep was greatly relieved by such a direct and clear reply, and he immediately said loudly: "All the servants of Amon are willing to give all their allegiance to you, the great Pharaoh!" ”

The agreement reached between Tapirus and the monks of Amun in Egypt over the past few months was only formalized with the commitment of Davers and Amenhotep.

Then Davers came to the prostrate, motioned for them to rise, and said in a loud voice: "Subjects of Egypt, over the years the northern Persia has repeatedly sent troops against Egypt in a vain attempt to take possession of the land of the Nile, and then turn you into slaves and force you to renounce your faith in Amun and convert to Ahula. Mazda, and the rebellion of Nikitani Persia was behind the Persians, and Egypt's situation was already very dangerous!

So the great god Amun has made me the new master of this land, and I have brought with me brave and fearless soldiers who will defend Egypt and defeat Persia so that you may enjoy long peace and tranquility! Guarantee that Egypt will always be the Egyptian Egypt! ……”
