"My Queen, must we have to go so day and night to Caesar's bedchamber? I mean, it's too dangerous to do so, in case it is discovered by Ptolemy......"

In the silence of Alexandria, the servant Eric sat meekly beside Queen Cleopatra, asking what she thought. In the eyes of the faithful servant www.biquge.info the queen's actions were not like her previous style, Cleopatra had always been cautious in her previous actions, but this time, in the matter of meeting Caesar, she was extremely aggressive and risky. Rushed to Alexandria overnight, with less than thirty servants and guards. Even if you encounter robbers, you can't resist them.

"We didn't think about the time, Eric. Caesar was about to make an alliance with Ptolemy, and as soon as the agreement was signed, we would never have another chance, so I would dispel Caesar's thoughts before Caesar had established a thorough diplomatic relationship with him. Time is important, very important. So, that's all I have to do. As for the danger of the road, I have considered it for a long time, the route is extremely concealed, and we have so few men with us that Ptolemy and his ministers have absolutely no such wisdom as to think that we will do so. Because it's self-defeating, and we, it's self-defeating, yes, as you said, as long as there is a group of robbers on the road, we can't resist it, but no, unless we ......"

Cleopatra stopped talking, and looked at her faithful servant, Eric, with a strange look.

"Unless what?"

Eric asked, curious.

"Unless one of us betrays me and becomes a spy of my brother Ptolemy. But I'm sure you won't, it's just someone else......"

The queen said, her calm eyes swept over everyone around her, like an eagle looking for its prey. Then, a Syrian knight who had not been following Cleopatra for a short time began to respond with some unease.

"My Queen, if any of us betrays you, I, Calabis, will be the first to cut off his hands and feet and give them to the Queen."

The knight said righteously, however, immediately, the two queen's personal attendants behind him pressed him with lightning speed. But it was too late, yes, it was too late when Cleopatra found out that there was a spy in his entourage, and the knight understood what was right when he was pressed, and yet, in the calm wilderness, there was also a terrifying neigh, the sound of hundreds of desert horsemen riding their horses, rushing here......

……

"Brother, that is a struggle between the Egyptians, are we going to stir up this troubled waters? I don't think it's necessary. ”

"Come on, no matter which side is right or wrong, we can always get something out of it."

If the world was that coincidental, then Apis could always have met him, and when Cleopatra was about to enter Alexandria, Apis and Klein happened to be patrolling the suburbs with a Roman team, and passed by to witness the desert cavalry chasing Cleopatra. Klein's meaning tended to be less nosy, while Appis's idea was that since he encountered it, he would take care of it, and after the war, he would always be able to reap some advantage for the weaker side.

It's just that at this time, Apis didn't know that the woman he was about to rescue was the bewitching woman who would stir up Roman politics and charm the two Roman legion commanders in the future - Cleopatra, Cleopatra.

"Let go of that girl and let me come!"

Appis roughly meant this, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to translate them into the language of this era, so he simply didn't say it, and shouted directly, so that the desert cavalry besieging the convoy gave up resistance, and the hundred-man team of the Roman legions would soon encircle and suppress them.

However, the intimidated desert cavalry completely ignored Appis's threat, and they continued to wield snowy scimitars, daggers, and assassinate the poor guards in the convoy.

Appis ordered a patrol of eighty men to form a long line and swoop down, not throwing javelins for fear of injuring the other side of the fight.

Soon, the battle turned into a three-way battle, with Apis and the Egyptian guards in the convoy joining forces to flank the lightly armed desert cavalry.

Appis took the lead, holding a shield in one hand and a javelin spear in the other, and charged at a desert cavalry who was attacking the convoy to protect him, the poor desert cavalry sat on his horse, unable to flexibly dodge the attack below him, and was stabbed by Apis, the sharp spear pierced his thigh, and then, the spearhead of the javelin snapped into the body of the cavalryman, and the severe pain made him scream and barely sit on the mount under his crotch.

At the speed of the wind, the Egyptian foot guards in front of them bravely pulled the cavalry off their horses, and then, with a short blade, stabbed the cavalryman in the chest. The brutal assassination was no less than that of a veteran of the Roman legions. At this time, Appis understood why the previous battle lasted so long, but the desert cavalry, which was superior in numbers, was never able to encircle and suppress this seemingly thin Egyptian convoy.

"Thank you, Romans."

The Egyptian infantry who had been rescued shouted, and they fought side by side with the infantry of Appis, two infantry against one cavalryman, pulling them off their horses and slashing them one after another.

The Captain of the Desert Cavalry at the head apparently tried to regroup the ranks, get the cavalry out, and launch another charge to crush the weak infantry on land. But once the Roman infantry and cavalry got into hand-to-hand combat, they never let them leave the battlefield easily.

The seasoned veterans of Appis' men quickly resorted to all sorts of tricks, stabbing their horses in the abdomen with spears and poking them in the eye, causing them to run around in panic, ignoring the shouts and commands of their masters. Many cavalrymen were not injured by weapons at all, but were thrown to the ground by their own horses, and in this era without stirrups, how many people could sit on the back of a horse jumping up and down......

In the end, the desert cavalry that had originally surrounded the convoy was left with only a bare-pole commander, the cavalry captain, who covered his wounds and held a half-moon scimitar commonly used by the Egyptians in one hand, pointing his sword at the surrounding Roman soldiers. And the infantry of Apis didn't pay attention to his exhaustion, but continued to look for valuable treasures in the dead cavalry, the nature of Roman soldiers, fighting is for money, what honor, freedom, it's all ** nonsense, no money, who mixes with you, this is the truest portrayal of Roman soldiers.

And at this time, the mysterious and noble woman who had been in the carriage slowly stepped out of the carriage, and Apis saw the sexiest and bewitching woman he had ever seen in his two lives...... (To be continued.) )
