The Greek quarter under Alexandria, close to the royal city, because the Ptolemaic regime was always based on the Macedonian nobility, so the royal city has always been near the Greek quarter, not Egyptian or Jewish quarter, which is also the most beautiful and prosperous place in the whole city, all naturalized according to the standard "Ipadamus" (in honor of the Greek engineer Ipadamus Minor) (in honor of the first Greek engineer in Asia Minor to propose this planning model), surrounded by drainage channels, greenery and winding colonnades, The streets are uniform, the buildings are evenly symmetrical, and the temples, the judicial groups and the squares are in their own places. A few robed figures hurried past the mansions, painted white to shield them from the sun, and immediately brought the terrible news to the royal city that "the Roman army and fleet had begun to penetrate into the Nile Delta."

At the court, Benenici and Arcilaus, dressed in Egyptian costumes, sat side by side on a lion's leg chair with pale faces, and the fountain below was occasionally drawn by an automatic machine, spewing crystal water, but they were in no mood to admire it.

The pharaonic couple had planned to enjoy the feast of the valley in Thebes, but the Restoration Army's Liberdaus soldiers made a surprising detour back to the kingdom of Herod the Great in Asia Minor and then invaded Egypt via Perusimus, a route that was extremely tortuous but still successful. So the two of them could only take the Hormahi army in a hurry, leave Thebes, and return to Alexandra to stabilize the hearts of the armies of all parties.

But the morale of the army was no longer something that Beneniciki could stabilize, let alone the outsider Arcilaus, who, according to the spies' report, openly liberated the black Nubian prisoners of war after the battle of Perusim. and distribute their land property. Now the delta. Not only the small river fortress, but also the trade route station, most of the Nubian mercenaries with weapons did not flee without resistance, but surrendered and were willing to lead the way for the restoration army.

And her father, the original pharaoh's piper in the kingdom, followed behind the Restoration. Constantly mentioning the willingness to accept the old generals, Benenicki's curly eyelashes were now trembling, for she could clearly see that several military chiefs in front of the palace were whispering in the shadows between the colonnades, and many of them were disrespectful when they met their husbands and wives, and they were secretly hiding their weapons, although they were afraid of the strength of Arcilaus's martial arts and the elite strength of Holmahi's legions, these people did not dare to do anything for the time being. But the female pharaoh clearly felt that the clouds of rebellion were silding.

"I will immediately take the garrison of Idaui. Led by the Hormahi Legion, they crossed the Nile to fend off the traitors of the Restoration. At last Archilaus rose from his seat and promised his beautiful wife, "There is still time, and if I make a strong counterattack, they will have to retreat into the wilderness, and most of them will die in the desert." "It seems that Arcilaus is cautiously optimistic about the situation.

Whoever wants Benenicki to get excited, she shed tears, grabbed the corner of her newlywed husband's clothes, and said, "Take me with you, we will take a dish made of reeds, and use this to barbecue a duck or pheasant in the barracks on the banks of the Nile, and then I will let you enter between my legs freely and happily, and we will enjoy perhaps the best and the most regal time like a real husband and wife—I do not want to stay in the royal city, I am afraid of being a captive of greed and betrayal, and they have put me on the throne in the first place. Now they still think I can sell at a price. ”

The whole hall was full of unpredictable eunuchs and officers walking around, and the news of the defeat of the detachment had reached the ears of all the powerful people, which was much more terrible than the destruction of the entire army, but fortunately we still had the capital to negotiate with the pharaohs and the Romans, and only the couple was still sincerely foaming at each other.

Three days later, in front of Alexander's Mausoleum at the intersection of the boulevards, Achilllaus was dressed in military uniform, flanked by the shoulders of the female pharaoh, followed by the Hormahi legion in the style of fully Macedonian armor, and walked along the Colossium and Tanah Lot out of the Intramuros on the northwestern island, towards the unknown desert and the Nile.

However, as soon as they left the city of Alexandria, the commander of the fortress of Idaui suddenly changed his mind and refused to send an army, and some of the Hormahi regiments that had been stationed in the fortress also obeyed the commander's request, "It is absolutely necessary to maintain the same respect for both sides in the midst of strife in the pharaoh's royal chamber", which is why they explained to the soldiers that they would not fight.

Along the way, in the gloomy country houses, people are celebrating the feast of the valley, and the family worship hall is filled with mournful music and foggy smoke, and people are singing songs and carrying idols of gods to remember their ancestors and relatives in the underworld. In this bleak atmosphere, the proud Janissaries of the royal guards, whom Archilllaus had defended against, fled in twos and threes, carrying with them beautiful armor and shields, because the pharaoh had paid for the precious stones and gold nuggets set in them, which could be pawned for a lot of money.

The Pharaoh's retinue and sergeants became less and less, and when they reached the Nile, the rushing water overflowed both sides of the riverbank, and the banners and camps of the Restoration Army were in good order under the sunset on the opposite side.

In the campfire and tent, Lybidaeus sat in the middle of the camp, and constantly met with the envoys of the Egyptian magnates and officers, all of whom carried piles of goods like mountains and servile tones, and asked the commander to speak a few kind words for himself in front of Pharaoh after he had eradicated the rebellion and welcomed Pharaoh's piper back to the royal city, so as to preserve his wealth and office, and not let Pharaoh's vengeful wrath reach them.

"These treasures are worth a hundred thousand drachmas? Alp, take it, this is a gift from the head of the defense of your nomads, I believe everything he says, and tell him to stay at the Libyan border, ready to welcome the prince of Pharaoh's majesty home. In addition, Saab recorded all these payments in the books of accounts. Li Bida opened the box in front of him and said loudly, in fact, these treasures are more than 300,000, but how much is said in the account book, that is.

At this moment, Petronius and Antony walked in and reported to him the defense of the Archilaus army on the other side of the river, "The general is still here?" But now I won't take him seriously, I have a strong fleet, and fifteen thousand soldiers, more than half of the Egyptian generals have paid me in return, the commander of the fortress of Idaui, the military chief of the capital, and the head of the defense of the nomads have all sent messengers, and the general who came from the capital, the guy who claims to be the son of Mithridates, I am afraid that even the Praetorian Guard army around him will flee completely, right? ”

"You guessed right, there are probably less than a thousand people around General Achilllaus now, and now there is no one in Egypt to support their husband and wife, and he came to this battlefield with the determination to die." Mark. Anthony is quite sure. (To be continued......)
