5. Cleopatra is very fun! (below)

β€œβ€¦β€¦ According to repeated calculations, the time of this ancient Egyptian time and space is six times faster than that of modern time and space. That is, one day in modern times is equivalent to six days here, and two months in modern times is equivalent to one year here...... Although in terms of chronology, the first century B.C., when Caesar, Pompey, Antony, Octavian, and others dominated the Mediterranean, seems to be more deserving of the time and space of ancient Rome......"

After being beaten by a few inchless powder arms and jade strands in a coquettish voice, and confiscating the "murder weapon" - the miniature digital camera, Wang Qiu, who had a few more bruises on his face, finally gave up secretly filming Jihua (in fact, it was a bright shot at all), while wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and reported all kinds of relevant information collected during this time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Next...... Although we already know what choice you will make, whether it is routine or bureaucratic, according to the rules and regulations of the unit, we still need to go through such a procedure......"

Wang Qiu closed his notebook, stared at the Egyptian queen in front of him with blazing eyes, and asked solemnly, "...... Miss Sanae Rika, I have a very serious question now, and I hope you will be able to answer it to us after thinking about it - may I ask you, do you want to leave everything you have in this plane behind at once and follow us back to the original shijie? Simply put, do you want to go back? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You know what choice I'll make, Qiu-kun! "Sanae Rika, or Queen Cleopatra, who is groping for her original body. Raising his head from the carpet, he didn't mind that his naked spring light was unexpectedly leaking - although he severely punished Wang Qiu for his candid filming behavior with physical violence, but due to the extremely hot local weather. None of the ladies in the tent seemed to have any intention of putting on their clothes.

Looking at the slender bodies of all the female colleagues and smelling the fragrant fragrance wafting from these youthful carcasses, Wang Qiu soon couldn't hold back a little and wanted to make some beastly moves to them...... But the remaining reason in his mind still constrained him to do nothing.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ By the time I had crossed over here, I had already become a zombie, legally a dead man. Even in the current body back to the 21st century. I am just a stateless, educational, and social welfare household, and it is very difficult to support myself. ”

The queen of Egypt talked eloquently as she lifted her white and delicate skin like a lotus root. The jade arm, which did not contain a trace of flaws, stretched out like a cat, and glanced back at Senior Sister Ma Tong and Cai Rong, "...... But if you stay on this plane. I am Queen Cleopatra, who rules Egypt. Why go back when he is regarded as a god by his subjects, above all men, with all kinds of money, power, and glory? Provided, of course, that I can win this battle and reclaim my capital and throne...... And you don't want me to go back, do you? Otherwise, you won't be able to trade across planes. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not necessarily! If you're willing to be a maid and a pillow, they'll be happy to take you back and take care of you! ”

Ma Tong smiled and reached out to pat her little buttocks. Then he reluctantly pinched it, "...... But. If you can, I'd rather take a look at your dormitory in Alexandria and stop by the bazaar to see what you can take back for resale! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahra, if I'm really desperate in this time and space, then naturally I'll consider traveling back to the modern Shijie to use as a pillow for you......"

Queen Cleopatra sighed, shrugged her shoulders without restraint, and then continued to focus on her original body, and with her hands and feet neatly peeled off the cumbersome witch costume on it, "...... Well, all the limbs are intact, and there are no kiss marks, scratches, or traces of β—‹ liquid on the skin...... It looks like you've used it as a pillow at best. She raised her head and looked at Wang Qiu with a rather playful look, "...... I was worried about whether you would cut off my head and put it next to my bed and kiss it every morning when I woke up! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I always feel that I have been seriously misunderstood! Wang Qiu's eyes straightened when he heard it for a while, and his whole face became tangled into the word "embarrassment", "...... Sanae-sama, in your heart, what kind of ghost hunter and pervert do you think of me! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Meow hoohoo! Sao Nian, when you pushed a thirteen-year-old girl like a beast in the Aztec Empire, you have already taken a solid first step towards the road of perversion! Senior Sister Ma Tong, who has always had a bad personality, pretended to pat Wang Qiu's shoulder boldly, and smiled and showed a mouthful of dazzling white teeth, "...... I'm very optimistic about your future! In order to become the king of the new generation of ghost animals, run towards the sunset, boy! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think you're the one who has relapsed in middle school, toilet sister! Wang Qiu rolled his eyes and pursed his mouth, "...... What is the relationship between becoming the king of ghosts and running towards the sunset? You must have read too many of those hot-blooded comics! ”

And Queen Cleopatra inserted herself while putting on her original body again in the witch costume and added, "...... Oh, by the way, and, Aki-kun, please call me Queen Cleopatra now, this one on the carpet is Miss Sanae......"

- I don't know if it's weishenme, as soon as she was halfway through her words, her voice and movements suddenly stopped without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the three daughters in the tent, Ma Tong, Cai Rong and Xue Ji Dailan, also screamed in surprise, "...... Huh? How can it be?! ”

Even classmate Wang Qiu, who usually prides himself on being rational and calm, also showed an expression like seeing a ghost on his face at this moment.

- The "Sanae Rika" witch who had just been carried over by Wang Qiu from the modern Shijie through the wormhole, and had been holding up the corpse before, actually yawned first, then turned over on the carpet, supported her body with her arms, and slowly sat up......

This...... This is clearly a hell of a life!!

If this resurrected shrine maiden on the carpet is Sanae Rika, then who is Queen Cleopatra who spoke to her just now?!

Next. The zombie witch and the queen of Egypt turned their heads in unison, glared at them with displeasure on their faces, and shouted in unison:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don't be noisy. Speak up to me! It's just one more doppelganger, what's the fuss about? ”

......" is just "a doppelganger"? Not worth the fuss?!

Sanae-sanae, have you been a zombie for too long and don't understand the logic of ordinary people's thinking?

And after the initial shock, Senior Sister Ma Tong stepped forward and pinched the zombie witch on the left, and then pinched the Egyptian queen on the right.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hoo! It's just as soft! She cheered. Holding the two girls in his arms at the same time, "...... So I have two Lori! It can be played, played and appreciated, delicious and cute, and can be cured. Can be hugged, touched, or knelt. Lick, knead, pinch, insert! (Hey, hey!) Mmmmmm,Finally, there's a way to enjoy a super cute soft girl with one soul and two bodies.,Perform a rare self-attack! ”

- Hmm. It seems that in this group of people. The guy with strange thinking is not only Sika Sanae......

Brain-made up for the "fragrant" scene of two "themselves" hugging each other XXOO, the zombie witch and the Egyptian queen couldn't help but shiver in unison, and then struggled to get out of the gap between Ma Tong's arms...... However, he was tightly entangled by Senior Sister Ma Tong, a lily madman, and couldn't escape at all.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahem, Senior Sister Ma Tong, can you please restrain yourself a little and stop playing yet? Now there's business! ”

Wang Qiu rubbed his temples with some headaches, and took out a stack of historical maps and materials from the folder he carried with him. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Rely on the modern weapons we can collect, plus the influence of Queen Cleopatra and the support of the Temple of Memphis. Trying to crush Ptolemy XIII's army should not be a big problem. But the trouble is that we have to take into account the great variable of the Romans - Caesar and Pompey are coming......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although Queen Cleopatra is in the whirlpool of Egyptian infighting, she cannot escape from the historical theme of the entire Mediterranean Shijie.

And now the most dazzling historical theme of the entire Western Mediterranean is the Roman Civil War.

At the beginning of the civil war, Caesar had only one base in Gaul (i.e., France), while the republicans and Pompey controlled the entire state apparatus and ruled all remaining territories of the Roman Republic around the Mediterranean.

However, Caesar had in his hands a field army of nearly twenty legions, all of which were fierce veterans trained from the ten years of the Gallic War.

And his hostile camp, the republicans of the Senate, were scattered, dragging their feet and never ready for war.

Although Pompey was once a famous general, he had not fought for more than ten years at this time, and most of the old troops had been disarmed and returned to the field, or stationed in other places, and just regrouping them was an unusually huge task.

Therefore, Caesar, who was inferior in terms of troops, very decisively adopted a preemptive strategy - he did not give his opponent time to fully mobilize resources, gather troops, and exert the huge strength of the whole country, but took advantage of the enemy's temporary paralysis and carelessness, and quickly moved south from Gaul into the empty Italy, and attacked the capital city of Rome, which was not fortified at that time, so that the enemy who was caught off guard could only abandon the city and flee.

Then, Caesar did not stay in Rome for long, but continued to pursue southward non-stop, until the "boot tip" of the Italian peninsula, forcing Pompey, who had not had time to gather his legions, to retreat again and again after withdrawing from Rome, and Zuihou had to flee across the Adriatic Sea to Greece, collect troops and horses from all over the East, and reorganize his troops to fight again.

Caesar's beautiful combination of punches not only won the charm of "blitzkrieg", but also successfully divided the opponent, allowing Pompey and his cronies to flee to Greece in the east, while his most warlike army was stranded in Spain on the other side of the Republic, with soldiers on one side and generals on the other, and they could not echo each other. In one fell swoop, the strategic disadvantage was reversed, and the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides was completely transposed.

Next, Caesar spent another year preemptively settling the old Pompey ministry in Spain. During this period, Pompey and the Republican senators, who had fled to the East almost empty-handed, had to build an army from scratch: to gather legions, to hoard supplies, to loot money, to train new soldiers...... By the time Pompey's army had finally formed a fighting force, the dust had already settled on the Spanish side, and Caesar had already crossed the sea to the east. Kill yourself.

Then Caesar went through the most difficult period of the civil war - Pompey was a veteran of the battlefield and played at home in Greece. Although most of the troops under his command are not very inexperienced, after all, the troops are strong, and Caesar has been in danger several times.

However, in the final Battle of Pharsalus, Pompey's main army was defeated by Caesar in less than an hour, resulting in a decisive defeat on the Greek battlefield.

Now Caesar's army is blooming on all sides. With the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, he took over the provinces of the Eastern Mediterranean, which were originally entrenched by Pompey's party. Pompey, who had lost most of his army, was forced to flee in battleships from ports in the Eastern Mediterranean – often Pompey's fleet had just anchored somewhere. Preparing to recruit troops for another battle, Caesar's fleet was already in pursuit, forcing Pompey to break anchor and flee again.

Of course, the life and death, the rise and fall of these two groups of people. Originally, it had little to do with Queen Cleopatra, who was completely focused on Egypt. But the worst thing is that these two groups of Romans are currently rushing to Egypt! Moreover, even with the wormhole plug-in and a group of traversers to help flip through the book, there is no way to know exactly when Pompey and Caesar will arrive and where they will go ashore.

- History books written by Westerners are too confusing in terms of the record of specific dates.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In order to provide you with as much historical information as possible as a basis for judgment, I have consulted a lot of relevant books. But the specific records of this period are either vague or contradictory.

The light is the date of the Battle of Pharsalus. I found June 6th, August 7th, and August 9th!

As for how long the armies of Queen Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII faced off on the Nile Delta, and whether fighting broke out, there are also conflicting records. And the arrival of Pompey and Caesar in Egypt is still a muddy account, October at the earliest and December at the latest...... The only thing that can be confirmed is that Pompey arrived in Egypt just before the decisive battle between the two of you, and the next day the famous republican general Luculus the Younger came, and then all of them were murdered by Ptolemy XIII. Caesar arrived in Egypt three days after Pompey's time. Zuihou, the place where Pompey landed and landed in Egypt, is the city of Pelusim in front of us. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qiu couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, "...... The Roman calendar was not the same as the Gregorian calendar of later generations, and the calendar of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt was not exactly the same as the Roman calendar, and it was always changing, for example, Caesar ordered the year to be changed to 455 days. So some things can only rely on the intelligence network of Queen Bixia - may I ask, according to the information you have received, has the battle of Pharsalus been fought on the Greek side now?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I guess it's over! Queen Cleopatra yawned while lying in Ma Tong's arms, and said a little tiredly, "...... When I sent my army south from Syria, Pompey and Caesar seemed to be still entangled in Greece. But on the first day of my arrival in Pelusim, I met a Greek merchant outside the city, who said that Pompey's army had just been defeated by Caesar, and that it was unclear where the battle would be......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then we will have a question next: should we seize the city of Pelusim or not? If we take the city, and then Pompey and Caesar come again, then the trouble that was originally thrown into the hands of the Ptolemaic king will be thrown to you. ”

Wang Qiu pursed his lips and said, "...... But if the confrontation continues in the wilderness, the morale of the army can easily be shaken...... So, I think it's best to take the city down first, so that your army can have a foothold. It's just that what if Pompey comes to the door? Helping him to fight Caesar is tantamount to asking for trouble, and killing him will in turn offend the very eccentric Caesar, zuihou, if Pompey successfully escapes to North Africa and joins Cato the Younger (the patriarch of the Roman Republicans), then it is very likely that the course of history will immediately be greatly disturbed......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If I had occupied Pelusim, Pompey would not have come to me, only my brother. ”

Queen Cleopatra raised an eyebrow as she flipped through the Civil War in her hand, "As described in this book, my brother's husband's direct army. Many of the soldiers turned out to be Pompey's menβ€”specifically, the Roman army that my father, King Ptolemy XII, had hired from Rome to fight against my sister Bellenici IV. The total strength was about 2,000 people.

Although Ptolemy XII had negotiated a deal in Rome at the time, in order to save time and travel expenses, the Romans actually transferred 2,000 men from the nearby garrison in the Syrian province, and these people were mostly Pompey's cronies and old subordinates, who stayed and settled in Egypt after the war, because of the higher income and comfort on the Egyptian side. It became the garrison of Alexandria.

When Pompey arrived in Egypt, it was precisely because of the persuasion and deception of these former cronies and old ministers that Pompey had stayed on the warship. He was tricked into a small boat, left the protection of his own guards and went ashore alone, and then was knocked over by the Egyptians with a stick, and his head was cut off and sacrificed to Caesar. To Caesar's annoyance, he wasn't going to kill Pompey. It's about treating Pompey well and erecting him as a benchmark to break up the opposition!

There was not a single Roman in my camp, and the Roman army in Alexandria was all on my brother's side, so it was impossible to trick Pompey into coming alone. If all Pompey's troops were put ashore...... Although his main force was routed, the remaining remnants of his side also had half a legion and more than 2,000 men, as many as my men! And what good can you get by eliminating him? Caesar won't give me a bounty!

As for joining Pompey's side and helping him fight Caesar, it would be even more self-inflicted. As long as you are a time-traveler, you will not do this. Besides, I'm where I am now. Pompey, the bastard, is also one of the culprits......" At this point, she actually clenched her silver teeth in hatred.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Belch? Pompey also got involved in this? How did he offend you? Wang Qiu couldn't help blinking

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How else can you offend? Of course, it's a matter of money and food! Why do you think the citizens of Alexandria are rioting? ”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the queen of Egypt, who had new and old hatreds in her heart, exploded, "...... Last year, Pompey, who had fled to Greece, in order to organize an army against Caesar, distributed salaries, men and supplies throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, and of course he did not spare Egypt - he sent his son Pompey the Younger to Alexandria, and extorted me a mountain of gold and sixty boatloads of wheat in the year of the great disaster! Almost emptied the treasury of Egypt! As a result, I had no reserves of grain to stabilize prices, and profiteers hoarded them, and the price of grain in Alexandria rose to the sky! Coupled with the instigation and manipulation of a group of well-intentioned people, the citizens rioted and attacked my palace......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, it seems that Ptolemy XIII also seemed to have a grudge against that blackmail, so he killed Pompey to vent his anger! ”

Wang Qiu touched his nose, "...... Next question, how effective is your current army? Is loyalty reliable? Based on what I've gathered, the depiction of this group in the history books seems strange! In the Romans' Civil War, when Caesar fought hard in Egypt, it seems that your army was completely missing, and you never participated in any battles...... Did you disband the army and then wrap yourself in a blanket and give it to Caesar as a gift? Or was your army crushed by your brother before Caesar arrived? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You ask me, who should I ask? It was only seven days since this army arrived in the city of Pelusim! And not a single battle was fought at all! ”

Queen Cleopatra's answer was to keep rolling her eyes, "...... However, I can give a logical explanation for the disappearance of this mercenary army, which is that the gold and silver treasures that I can collect around me will only be enough to pay for another two or three months. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, it's probably for this reason, after all, these people come to fight for money, and after the money is exhausted, people will naturally disperse. ”

Wang Qiu nodded, and wanted to continue to ask something, but someone who had been silent for a long time was already impatient to listen.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's enough! That's enough! Are you all finished? Why bother with something so simple? In short, it is to fight all the way from here to Alexandria, and whoever stands in the way will be killed! It's that simple! Collapse first, then kill! ”

After listening to the endless nagging between Wang Qiu and Queen Cleopatra, Senior Sister Ma Tong stood up with an unhappy face, patted her flat chest with no surprise, and claimed: "...... Pompey came to kill Pompey! Caesar came to kill Caesar! As dignified time travelers, we should be like Detective Conan, with the momentum of dying wherever we go! What are the ancient natives to be afraid of? ”

- Queen Cleopatra's restoration battle jihua made a decision on this: the most haodejihua is that there is no jihua, just push it all the way!

Then, in the afternoon of the same day, two "fire missile vehicles" with a maximum range of about four kilometers and 800 RPG rocket launchers quietly appeared on the banks of the Nile outside Perusim under the horrified gaze of more than 2,000 Syrian mercenaries during the sacrificial ceremony of the Egyptian queen pretending to be a ghost.
