Augustus Road

As a result, that night, in the royal barracks of Alexandria City, the Gorta Legion began to take action. They were called the Legion, but they were actually a group of scoundrels raised by the prince and the eunuch. Many of them were street gangsters. , and the homeless horse thieves in the desert, attracted by the generous wages. As soon as they arrived, they squeezed the more regular Hormashi Legion out of the royal city and forced them to station themselves in the Idaoui Fortress on the outskirts, while they had the exclusive rights. The defense of the city is, of course, one of Mortenmenes' strategies. $.(w)(x). This group of people did not practice drills on weekdays, and their military discipline was worse than that of the Egyptian Guards at any time. Now that they heard that they could do evil things, they all started shouting wildly. Quickly take out all kinds of weapons from the camp, assemble and advance towards the Pharaoh's palace.

In front of Alexander's Mausoleum, the legion split into two menacingly. One of them directly carried torches and headed toward Cleopatra's residence. The leading military chief was worried that he would encounter armed resistance from Queen Elizabeth's retinue, so he also asked his subordinates to carry bows and arrows and light ballistae. The cavalry first attacked Cleopatra's house and the surrounding roads as if facing a formidable enemy. All locked down. Then, the military chief gathered all the company captains. Several company captains arrived very late because they were busy breaking into houses along the road and were reprimanded. Then the chief pointed at the house in front of him and made a "Kill without mercy" The gesture means that after entering immediately, everyone will be executed, leaving no one alive!

At this time, Little Queen was lying on a Persian couch, surrounded by the lingering fragrance. Now she was naturally beautiful and charming, with soft black hair hanging on her white neck and gold leaf corset. Several personal maids were delivering anointing oil, water and letters to her. Cleopatra just looked at the secret letter Lepidus had given her earlier. There is not much content in it, it is very concise and concise, "Don't confront your brother head-on. Befriend Caesar in private, use retreat to advance, kill people with borrowed swords, and protect your kingdom." Both parties are smart people, so communication is effortless. . Lepidus is trying to persuade me to leave the capital city of Alexandria!

At this moment, her maid hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in, saying that there were many soldiers and horses outside.

Cleopatra smiled, stood up and walked out gracefully. She stepped out of the main entrance of the tent. Outside was an endless river island and reed swamp. Several treasurers and entourage in front of the tent got off their horses and camels. , greeting Cleopatra, "We have brought guides, guards, camel teams and supplies. We will definitely send you safely across the desert to the Pelusium Fortress."

turn out to be. Cleopatra, who had been on guard for a long time, had left the capital for more than two days, and was now stationed at the border between the desert and the river continent. She accepted an audience with the local treasurer and prepared to go to the Perusium Fortress under their escort, and Mobilize the River Transport Guards and God's Tomb Guards at the waterfall and wait for the opportunity for attack and defense to change.

This was Lepidus' plan, so the Gorta Legion fired their ballistae and rushed into the courtyard of Cleopatra's mansion in Alexandria on a ladder. They found that only a few slaves were still there to guard the house. Queen Elizabeth and their loyal subordinates had long since disappeared, so in order to make up for the lack of honor, these soldiers ransacked the entire house. The large amount of oils, spices and treasures inside made many soldiers eye-opening and felt that their trip was worthwhile.

In the Pharaoh's palace, the flute player had reached the last moment. In a trance, he saw the majestic and beautiful ship of Serapis on the soothing River Styx, sailing towards him amidst the holy and ethereal music, and finally The flute player struggled to open his eyes wide, and said with all his strength, "Farewell, earthly throne, I am going to the deep tomb, waiting for the reincarnation of eternal life!" After saying that, the Pharaoh's face quickly dimmed and turned into a A bloated corpse.

Some of the surrounding servants were crying bitterly, while others were busy coming and going. Under the lily relief wall of the palace gate, there were sentry soldiers of the Gorta Legion. However, the Ibos Island where the palace is located still did not follow the usual customs. In the early hours of the morning, he raised his voice in mourning. Because of the instructions of the great eunuch Motammenes, still using the secret mourning trick, little Ptolemy, supported by the officers and soldiers of the legion, entered the island of Ipos first, and then they would be newly captured. Charlena, a close confidant of the Pharaoh who was promoted to privy councilor, came to him and forced him to hand over the text of the Pharaoh's will.

With complicated eyes, Charlena looked at Ptolemy XIII, who was already sitting on the lion's leg chair. He was just a teenager, but the chair next to his co-ruling sister was vacant, so he asked, "Ptolemy XIII." Where is Lord Leopatra now? Half of the contents of the deceased Pharaoh's will are related to her."

"She has committed treason and betrayed the sacred Ptolemaic family, so I am going to delete the content about her in the will now, lest the messy words in it become the basis for traitors to cause trouble." Ptolemy 10 San used his voice that had not yet completely become thicker to order Charliena sharply like a woman.

But Charlena was still ready to defend. Ptolemy Thirteen was furious, howling and waving the scepter in his hand, saying that his guards below had prepared the spikes. If Charlena was willing to try the king's wrath, he would He would not mind using his scepter as a hammer to drive a nail into the Privy Councilor's head, thereby establishing his reputation for devotion to duty.

In the end, Charlena gave in and handed over the will of the flute player. As a result, Ptolemy XIII was about to delete the content of his sister's inheritance rights and his father's intention to give the kingdom to Rome. However, Mortemenes caught him and said, "It doesn't matter if you change the first part, but you can't change the second part. It will only give Caesar an excuse to interfere in Egypt. They have a copy kept in the temple in Rome." Ptolemy XIII obeyed and asked the clerks to hand over the revised will to Mortemenes.

The eunuch took a look and nodded with satisfaction. He then handed the will back to Diotus and said, "It's almost done. You can send an envoy with this text to Pharos Island to meet Scipio, Gabinus and others."

Diotus was a big gangster in the Subura district of Rome. His original name was Dilimer. Later, he was sent by Claudius to serve as an attendant to Cato the Younger. Later, he was spotted and bribed by Lepidus. He rose rapidly as a close attendant to the flute player. Now he was asked to take charge of the negotiations. He was undoubtedly the most suitable person. At noon that night, the chief of the palace guards, under the protection of several guards, quickly took a boat to the shadow of the huge lighthouse on the sea. It had been transformed into a very high fortress by Pompey's veterans. Gabinus stuck his head out of the top window and said, "Are you the Pharaoh's plenipotentiary envoy?"

"Dear former consul, I was also a Roman citizen, and now I am the chief of the Pharaoh's guards. This time I am indeed the plenipotentiary envoy. I brought the text of the will and the most accurate information about the Ibos Palace." Diotusos on the deck of the ship waved his arms and shouted.
