Chapter 63: Infiltrating - Asking for Votes

PS: Have a great weekend everyone! I don't ask for anything. Wild boars write hard.

Kirk took the majestic twin peaks of Cleopatra with great enjoyment, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and said with a smile: "I do not have the compassion of yours, and I have no intention of dedicating my precious life to the liberation of the Egyptian people. I'm just worried that Pompey will take the opportunity to escape. This time you must keep him in Alexandria! ”

Despite her shyness, Cleopatra offered a fierce kiss in front of Caesar's people: "No! I can't let you go on the risk for me! Don't say it so lightly, I know that you are for me???"

What else can Kirk say, he can only kiss this ordinary-looking and rich Cleopatra beauty, in Caesar's "You are really fraternal" eyes, Kirk is secretly refreshed in his heart.

Once you have seen the true face of this beauty, I am afraid that I will have the heart to kill me.

Cleopatra suddenly remembered something and hesitated: "Although I can't let you assassinate Pompey, the mighty city of Alexandria is not without weaknesses. ”

Caesar's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "Your Highness Cleopatra, I really feel incredible for the stupidity of the original, let a wise queen like you not support it, but think of what Argda is the queen, please say it's okay!" ”

Cleopatra glanced at Caesar with disgust. In her mind, this original Roman hero and conqueror has become a generation of heroes because of the canonization of Jagorda and the attempt to annex Egypt. It can't be compared with the character of Kirk's little lover.

She said slowly: "The establishment of Alexandria was the conquest of Egypt by King Alexander of Macedon. Seeing the magnificent scene at the mouth of the Nile and being deeply moved, he decided to establish the capital of his great empire here. Surrounded on all sides by the Nile River and the Mediterranean Sea, the city is extremely majestic and difficult to capture. But the strongest is also the weakest. Now it's winter, the dry season for the Nile. If you can wait about half a year for the Nile to enter the summer when the water is at its highest, the river will start to flood, and the rising water level will spread all the way to the foot of the city walls. There are a total of 13 water gates in Alexandria, which will be completely submerged in the Nile. I know how to open the water gate. Just send out the water ghosts at night. Secretly open the water gate, build a battleship from the upstream, and go downstream, you can rush into the city in one go! ”

Caesar and Anthony looked at each other and smiled wryly. To say that Cleopatra although does not understand military affairs. But the idea is really operational. If it's summer. After a try, at least half of the certainty that you will be able to successfully break into the city and open the gates. Caesar's legions swarmed in, and it was only a matter of time before the city was breached.

But Rome can't afford to wait!

Caesar can't afford to hurt him!

Half a year later, most of the Romans were starving to death, so what was the use of breaking Alexandria and capturing Pompey?

"Since you know how to open the water gate, we can also try to open the water gate in winter." Anthony was puzzled: "Sneak in, isn't it the same?"

This time it was Cleopatra's turn to smile bitterly: "General Anthony, you don't know, it's almost evening now, and in the evening, you will understand why I said that." ”

Sure enough, two hours later, the sun had set, and the night was dark, but Anthony's face turned pale.

It's the kind of miserable white.

He finally knew why Cleopatra insisted on waiting until the flooded gates before the water spirits burst into the city, because the distance between the Nile and the city walls was now as bright as day!

It's not Pompeii's space magic, it's the 120-meter-high lighthouse!

These Seven Wonders of the World!

On the large lighthouse, large mirrors are used during the day and firelight at night to guide ships at sea. But what Anthony didn't know was that this big lighthouse still had a defensive function!

When the two tools are used together at night, it turns into a giant searchlight that can do everything!

The Egyptians lit the flames and reflected them through a total of seven gigantic mirrors, shooting a dazzling light into the open space between the Nile and the city walls!

These mirrors can reflect bright light tens of nautical miles away, and of course it is not a problem to deal with this distance, so hundreds of meters under the city wall are as bright as day!

On the city walls, tens of thousands of crossbowmen, bed crossbows, and trebuchets are on duty day and night!

Seven huge mirrors shine like searchlights, leaving no dead ends. Anyone who tries to sneak into the city will die like a rat crossing the street, under the salvo of ten thousand crossbows!

Anthony's face turned pale, and he didn't even want to approach the city unless hundreds of thousands of people launched a strong attack.

But after this battle, how many Caesar's legions will be left?

Kirk was moved.

Caesar ordered: "Prepare for a total war." Gather all the available forces of the Roman navy and engage Pompey in a decisive naval battle to wipe out his fleet and blockade the entire city! If I can't beat it, I'll starve the whole city to death, and I can't spare Pompey! ”

Cleopatra's face was pale, and if it really developed into a never-ending siege war, no matter who Pompey and Caesar won or lost, the millions of inhabitants of Alexandria were doomed to starve and suffer heavy casualties.

Kirk's heart moved: "I am willing to take on the role of the vanguard of opening the city gates!" ”

The eyes of Caesar, Cleopatra, Antony, Octavian, and others were all on him. After miracles again and again, Kirk's voice was no longer questioned.

Caesar looked grateful: "I didn't expect my hero to be so brave, in this case, I can still take the initiative to ask for help, if you have any requirements, just put forward, whether it is people, money, or things, I will meet them all!" ”

Kirk is not polite, the first few times he was born and died for Caesar, there were no decent rewards, only one [Gift of the Lord God] suit was decent, this time the lion simply opened his mouth.

"Since I have taken this risk, I need a large bounty, and I have to withdraw it in advance." Kirk said bluntly.

Caesar was stunned, but this request was the easiest to satisfy. Money he has. As long as Pompey can be eliminated quickly, he will return to Rome and hold the power of the world, and the amount of gold will not be as large as he wants.

"How much do you want?" Caesar grinned.

"5,000,000 Orray." Kirk gave a slap in the face.

"You're crazy! It's a figure I can't earn in my lifetime as a Roman general! "Anthony's chicken is frozen.

Kirk smiled, "If you can find a dead man to complete this task in the place of the four of us, then please, not a single Orley will have to pay." If you can be patient and wait 6 months, then I will also save myself the risk of birth and death. If you want us to do this life-and-death mission, then 5 million Ores for four lives I think is the right price. ”

Caesar was also silent. Kirk's asking price is just stuck at his psychological level, and to say that 5 million Ole is indeed a staggering fortune. Pompey escapes from Rome. Emptying the treasury. It's just a bullcart of gold, and it's not more than a million ores. But if you take into account the cost of fighting, this is a small expense. Rome, in particular, was now in the midst of a famine, if Alexandria could not be conquered soon. Egyptian grain could not be shipped to Rome. This economic catastrophe will soon turn into a political catastrophe of its own. And once this fat and oily trading giant fell into his own hands. That's a drop in the bucket.

He let out a long sigh, "So be it." 5 million for the lives of four warriors is not much, I'm just a little curious. What do you want to do with such a large amount of wealth? ”

Kirk smiled: "This is a personal question, but I am willing to answer you." I dedicate this great fortune to my Queen, Her Majesty Cleopatra! ”

All eyes were on Cleopatra, and the woman couldn't help but blush.

Caesar was the first to applaud, in his opinion, for the sake of a woman to indulge, even the highest martial arts have weaknesses. Kirk's infatuation with this ordinary-looking Egyptian queen was one of the things that reassured him.

At this time, the military intelligence officer reported: "Queen Cleopatra's troops have descended the river and reached Alexandria to join our army. ”

Cleopatra was thrilled that she finally had her own troops. Kirk met Mosuo, Wang Han, Chubby, Sheva, and others, who had arrived with a royal guard of 100,000 Egyptians across the Nile. For a time, Cleopatra's strength soared, and her waist straightened up in front of Caesar and other Romans.

Under the auspices of Caesar and Cleopatra, the queen's guard and fleet were responsible for blocking both banks of the Nile and controlling the waterways. Caesar's legions began to deploy trebuchets and other siege devices to make a strong attack.

Kirk, on the other hand, took Wang Han, Chubby and Sheva with him, and prepared to sneak into Alexandria at night.

Wang Han asked Kirk, "Why are we taking such a risk?" Once betrayed by Caesar or discovered by the defenders of Alexandria, I am afraid of ???"

Kirk smiled: "Anyway, we all have life-saving items, so let's just gamble, even if it doesn't work, there is a chance to save our lives by using teleportation or jumping into the Nile." Wealth and danger are sought. Those 5 million gold coins are enough for Spartacus to do a few big votes in North Africa! ”

Wang Han pouted: "Sheva doesn't have life-saving props. ”

Kirk grinned and pointed to Sheva's cloak—[Snow Monster's Camouflage]: In natural environments such as snow, sand, desert, meadow, swamp, rainforest, forest, etc., if the contractor equipped with this cloak is stationary, it is equivalent to being under the cover of [Intermediate Stealth Technique], and it is extremely difficult to be detected by the enemy.

Wang Han was speechless and glared at Kirk fiercely: "Sooner or later, the team will be killed by your adventurous tendencies!" ”

At night, the waters of the Nile rattled, but there were dark clouds in the sky, and there was not a trace of moonlight.

Kirk, Wang Han, Chubby and Sheva are prostrate on the banks of the Nile. In the process of crossing the river just now, they also encountered two giant Nile crocodiles up to 6 meters long, and these indigenous inhabitants apparently charged a river crossing fee for any creature that tried to cross the Nile, that is, a few lives were spared. But the wicked have their own evil grinding, and their bully intentions were quickly broken by Wang Han's illusion, and they turned around and fled in fright.

"We are now at the corner of the wall, and the wall of Alexandria, in order to prevent a sneak attack, has been built in a smooth way, with no dead spots to hide. I'm going to activate the [Invisibility] function of [Lord of the Rings] (Replica). [Invisibility] lasts up to 30 seconds and cannot run or jump. We're going to crawl slowly. Then, Sheva, your [Snow Monster's Disguise] covered a few of us in it, and we all continued to move slowly. I think this 500-meter distance is enough to climb over. Kirk recounted his plans.

Chubby asked, "We got to the foot of the city walls, and then what?" ”

Kirk held up the [Ring]: "There is [Teleportation] on it, and it is free to teleport within a visual range of 200 meters. Wang Han has teleportation magic, Sheva has a teleportation scroll for life-saving, Chubby you??? Wait under the walls, and when I teleport up, I'll throw the ring to you, and you teleport up again. ”

Xiaopang cried: "Big brother, if people find out about me and the cooldown time hasn't passed, won't I become a hedgehog?" ”

Kirk comforted: "Anyway, you have the [Resurrection Ring], and you can resurrect once. ”

Chubby Petrified: "But that potion has to be halved." ”

Kirk: "??? Well, then you don't want to take part in the action. ”

Chubby: "I'll go, I'll go, I'm a vampire, the dark night is the best cover for vampires, come and go like the wind, no city wall can stop me!" ”

Kirk patted the fat, cowardly vampire and unleashed eight female generals, Catherine, Pearl, Anna, Caroline, Nightblade, Meg, Dream and Meiwa, the first four of whom were vampires, and Operation Dark officially became their most formidable battlefield. Behind the night blade is the night demon clan, and the night ability is doubled, and the three witches of Meg like night battles the most, and their strength has also increased greatly.

Kirk explained to the eight maidens, quietly ascended the city from the other side, cleared the defenders in a post, and the four of them used the city wall here as a breakthrough to quietly enter the city.

Nightblade's chest fluttered: "Even if I go alone, I can open the gates for the Roman army." ”

But Meg thinks more comprehensively: "The enemy is not stupid, when the army is approaching the city, the patrols are very dense, and if you find out that you have opened the city gates, the defenders will swarm you, and you can't hold it alone." ”

Kirk nodded: "I made a secret agreement with Caesar, but he asked to hold for at least 15 minutes before the fastest cavalry could charge into the city." Those 15 minutes can be the difference between success and failure. Also, Wang Han, the 5 million gold coins? ”

Wang Han smiled: "Spartacus is very stable. I have already loaded all the gold coins on a Spanish cargo ship through the caravan he had sent, and now that I have sailed to Sicily, the next step will fall into his hands. His message to you is that next spring he will unite the Numidian tribes and prepare for the conquest of the Roman army. ”

Kirk nodded: "Girls, do you understand?" 15 minutes, let's go now! (To be continued......)
