Caesar, who was in a hurry, ordered his soldiers to hold the camp, and he himself took a boat to find a nearer freshwater island, for he could find an island called Palatonium on Alexandria's map, but when the ships he sent found it, he found that it was a hundred and thirty miles from the Cape Aquinos, and it was wishful thinking to rely on this distance to provide water for the army.

Caesar also considered bringing fresh water directly from Pharos, but the inhabitants of the island also began to besiege the fleet and garrison anchored by Hitious, and the situation on the other side was also very difficult - "This Palatonium must have been mistaken by the mappers, there must be another island that produces fresh water near the whole city, and you must trust fate." In vain Caesar took the drawing, repeated these words, and went out of the cape in a small boat, but on the way the oarsmen and soldiers cried out that they were thirsty, and Caesar had to send some of them secretly to swim to the land at the mouth of the Nile to find some fresh water.

In a short time the wolf smoke on the shore was alighted, and the people who remained on the ship cried out anxiously, and Caesar, whose lips were cracked, hurried to the side of the ship, and found that in the forest and the long grass on the shore, suddenly rushed out of Egypt, and surrounded those who went to get water.

"Paddle away, the enemy will surely know from those captives that I, Caesar, are on this ship!" Caesar quickly ordered the anchor to leave.

But several bonfires soon burst into flames, signaling the attack of the warships in the royal dockyard of the Ibos, and in an instant Ptolemy's naval commander took the four decked ships that had been hidden in his possession. Take a group of reeds and light boats all out. Because he captured the most valuable target. i.e. the Roman dictator.

To the sound of the drums of war, the Egyptian fleet surrounded Caesar's ship, and the crew on it fought bravely while hurriedly signaling the Pharos Island and the Cape Aquinos, asking them to come to their aid, "Don't cry, even if bad luck befalls me today, it is fate!" "Facing the weeping personal slaves on the deck. Caesar scolded angrily.

At this moment, Li Bida's fleet happened to arrive, these fast warships followed the wind, saw the battle on the sea, and rushed in very quickly, the Egyptian naval commander saw this, so he asked the flagship to turn around and run, and the rest of the reed light boats were sprayed by Li Bida's ships bellows flame cannons, burned to ashes, and dead bodies floated all over the sea.

But the wind speed is still strong. Most of the ships in Li Pida's fleet drifted directly to Pharos Island with the wind before they dropped anchor and settled on their heels. At this time, Caesar's ship also turned around and returned to the Cape Aquinos. So Li Bida temporarily met with Hitius on Pharos Island, and after the two sides met, they hugged warmly, "This is my patron, if it weren't for his loan, I would have been in debt and sold the whole property at a discount." That's what Hitius said in front of his men.

"What, the besieged ship just now was on the part of His Excellency the Dictator?" When Li Bida learned of the situation, he was very surprised, and then he decided to rush into Aquinos with Empress Xiao and the guards in a four-row boat to get in touch with the dictator's team in the coming day.

Early the next morning, Li Bida put the plan into action, and he asked Macmillan to hang a hideous sea beast pattern on the mast, and install a terrifying pointed beak ramming horn, which was especially effective for the timid Egyptians, and without any ships to intercept them, they could enter the bay and land into Caesar's camp.

"The water shortage of the soldiers is very strict, we can't dig out the well water, the canal has been cut off by the Egyptians, and what's even more terrifying is that when the rest of the reinforcements from Xiaoya arrive, we will die of thirst." On the dance floor of the Grand Theater, Caesar was still pondering the true location of Palatonium Island, staring at the charts on the shelves, so that when Li Bida and his party arrived, he said such things without even looking back, and then scratched his bald head and touched his chin, looking very distressed.

A very feminine voice rang out, "The island logo on this chart is wrong. ”

Caesar looked back in surprise, but the Egyptian aristocratic woman stepped forward and pointed her finger to the east of the mouth of the Nile, "The island of Palatonium should be here, and the direction is completely wrong." ”

"I see." Caesar exclaimed, and then he straightened up, politely saluted Cleopatra, and asked for his name and identity.

"The princess of Cleopatra has always been your most loyal patron, and as for the newly enthroned child, I would like you to compare the two, because it is not difficult to choose one of the two." When the stone bullet with fire outside fell in front of the theater door, Lybidaeus, who was standing a little behind, quietly said these words to Caesar.

Caesar nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Even if I have an answer to this kind of thing, I have to survive, right?" ”

As a result, Cleopatra smiled slightly, magically raised two oak branches, and asked Caesar, "Even if you find that island now, your Lordship's thousands of men and horses will not be relieved at all, so according to the ideal you just said, of course, the army camp still needs well water." ”

"Well, as polite as this is, I have to say that when you dig my tombstone with a branch like this, you can't dig out the well water, and we can't confirm the location of the water source, which is the most distressing thing." It was obvious that Caesar liked the girl opposite.

"But isn't there a word for 'Ptolemaic wisdom' in this world?" Afterwards, Empress Xiao Yan walked out of the theater and came to the camp surrounded by the dwellings, still holding the crossed branches of the oak tree in her hand, and Li Bida hurriedly called a few Medejie guards to accompany her as escorts, and many of the soldiers in the battalion sat on the ground, under the canopy that stretched out to resist the enemy's stone bullets, and pointed at Cleopatra in amazement and discussed.

Queen Xiao Yan paced back and forth slowly, her eyes only looking at the branch in her hand, and even Caesar stood at the exit of the theater, looking at her figure.

Suddenly, Cleopatra stroked the two branches with her hands, and her lips murmured words, and the branches were like two small cyan snakes, swimming between her fingers, and finally the little queen walked to the alley between the houses, and said with a smile that there was a clear water source down here.

The soldiers shouted in disdain, saying that they did not believe in the tricks of this beautiful young witch, but Empress Cleatsis said that she herself was the embodiment of the goddess Isis, and that nothing in the land could escape her eyes.

"Do as she says." Caesar gave this order.

As a result, in the early hours of the morning, the sweet groundwater was gushing down the shovel. (To be continued......)
