In short, in the midst of all the quarrels, gags, and all kinds of cute show lower limit festivals, everyone was disappointed to find that given the dilapidated state of Alexandria and the terrible situation of still being surrounded by strong enemies, the Egyptian queen's war loan may not be much for a while. And in order to help her stabilize the crumbling throne, I am afraid that further additional investment and assistance will have to be strengthened.

In this regard, although Wang Qiu and Ma Tong felt a little regretful, they had nothing to say - Cleopatra's "meat price" was so expensive!

Well, although Queen Cleopatra has not really been allowed to "repay her debts with meat" for the time being, Wang Qiu and Ma Tong have reached a compromise on how to fully enjoy this delicate carcass that has been famous through the ages, specifically "You play in front and I play in the back during the dangerous period", "You play in the back and I play in the front during the safe period", "Pregnancy is prohibited", "The candidate for the first night break is determined by drawing lots"...... Extremely disobedient distribution clauses like these.

And Miss Sanae Rika, who is not yet aware of this "distribution agreement", is still making new requests for assistance from everyone on the issue of the post-war reconstruction of Alexandria," ...... After the catastrophe, Alexandria was in ruins, everything was burned down, the initial estimate was that the death toll would reach more than 100,000, the number of homeless people would exceed 200,000, and the problem of food shortages would be very serious...... Therefore, I hope to be able to urgently transfer a few containers of wheat and rice from the modern Shijie to avoid famine and riots among the refugees. ”

She frowned and said, "...... Today, the social order in Alexandria is still very chaotic. Hundreds of thousands of refugees without food and clothing gathered together were like a powder keg of oversized powder, if they were not given relief food for a long time. As long as someone instigates it, there will be chaos again. And I only have a few thousand miscellaneous soldiers at my disposal, and I have to go to the outskirts to hunt down the routs and guard the Roman prisoners of war, and for a time I have no spare strength to suppress the people's rebellion......"

“…… Huh? POW? With such an overwhelming carpet bombing, the Romans have not been completely wiped out? Ma Tong asked curiously.

“…… Yes, according to the latest statistics, we have captured more than 200 Roman soldiers, all of whom were Caesar's men - only a small number of lucky ones were picked up from the ruins. Most of the captives came from Pharos, which was far from the city and was not much bombed. That's why they survived, but they couldn't find a ship to go to sea, and they ended up being captives......"

Sanae Rika nodded and explained. “…… Furthermore. In the fight to suppress the riots, more than 800 heinous local thugs, all of whom were bloody murderers, were also captured. In order to justify the punishment and appease the people's grievances, I am preparing to execute them en masse! Haven't decided whether you should be hanged yet? What about beheading? Or crucifixion? What are your thoughts on this? ”

“…… It's up to you to make up your own mind for such inconsequential little things! Just don't use anti-aircraft machine guns to play headshots on these death row prisoners, after all, bullets also cost money, and we are short of funds now! Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied disapprerovingly. …… Alas, if it was in ancient Mesoamerica, which was covered with tropical rainforests. We can organize these people into slave labor teams and cut wood, build roads, and collect timber for us. But what can they do in a place like Egypt? Smash rocks or sift sand? It's completely useless! ”

However, Deputy Director Xiao Se, who was originally just quietly observing, suddenly had a brightness in his eyes, "...... Wait, Miss Sanae, do you mean that a large number of people were going to be executed in ancient Egypt, and they were all strong, healthy young men? ”

“…… Well, although there are some very old veterans, at least most of them are young men! ”

For this question, Sayaka Sanae, who didn't know why, hesitated at first, but Zuihou still nodded.

“…… And then, they were all heinous prisoners, and they were all sentenced to death according to the law? Deputy Director Xiao continued to ask.

“…… That's right! Sanae Rika nodded again, "...... In Egypt, I, the female pharaoh, am God, and what I say is the law! ”

“…… Haha! That's it! Deputy Director Xiao suddenly burst out with a burst of daxiao, and at the same time slapped the table hard, making Wang Qiu and the others look a little creepy, "...... Aren't you worried that you can't scrape oil and water for a while in ancient Egypt? Hehe, with my many years of experience working in prisons, these death row inmates are a great asset...... I'm responsible for contacting the sales channel, how about half of the profits? ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Egypt, Nile Delta, a corner of the city of Alexandria.

It didn't take long for the young Roman soldier Vanus to finally wake up from the ruins of the house strewn with corpses, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that all around him was a pungent smell of blood and burning. A few steps away, on a bloody corpse, a vulture was squinting at Vanus while pecking unhurriedly at the flesh with its beak, which had been pecked to reveal its shriveled and blackened ribs and internal organs.

Vanuston was horrified by this scene, and quickly turned over and sat up, waving his arms and shouting, "Heh-he-heh", trying to banish the man-eating flat-haired beast. But the vulture, taken aback, pecked at Vanus's eye fiercely......

After a struggle, the bruised Roman soldier finally drew his dagger and stabbed it like lightning into the vulture's chest. I heard the scavenger scream sharply, and fell to the ground like a bag of flour, and finally never moved again.

However, this assassination action also almost exhausted the last strength of Vanus, making him once again incapacitated, and could only lean against the wall and gasp weakly. And the chaotic memories before also returned to his swollen mind little by little.

-- "Flame meteors" falling from the sky, deafening terrorist explosions, and comrades in the army who have no bones left...... In the midst of that desperate catastrophe, Vanus escaped the devastating catastrophe by rolling into a dark, sturdy alleyway, but was also stunned by the waves.

Lord Caesar doesn't know life and death, the Sixth Legion is completely finished, what should I do next? He just felt that the future was uncertain.

Leaning against the wall for a moment, Vannus finally regained some strength and got back to his feet. He looked around and saw that there was a massacre around him, with corpses of all colors scattered everywhere, stacked and entangled, and each person's face was so hideous and distorted. And the blood that flowed down even formed large and small pools of thick blood on the ground......

This scene suddenly made him feel another wave of panic, and he just wanted to get out of this hell of death as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Vanus staggered out of the alley and ran into a group of heavily armed soldiers, who shouted excitedly, "...... Behold, there is also a Roman here! Don't let him run! ”

Then, with the head-on smash of a hardwood stick, Vanus, who was already exhausted, immediately turned black in his eyes and fainted again. (To be continued.) )
