The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse
Vol 2 Chapter 27: British reaction
In a camp not far from Hamna Tower, a large number of cavalry in black robes gathered here.
They are all members of the Pharaoh's Guard who gathered in response to Adebe's call.
At this time, three days have passed since they escaped from Cairo, and things have completely deviated from the trajectory of the original movie.
Immorton, who occupied Cairo, did not catch Evelyn like in the movie, and naturally there is no plot to take her to Hamnata to resurrect Ansuna.
And the Pharaoh's Guard, which would have to wait until the plot of the second movie, also assembled in advance. In three days, tens of thousands of tribal cavalrymen have gathered in this temporary camp.
During these three days, Chen Mo and others were not idle either.
O'Connor went to contact his friends, and brought in an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion from the British garrison on the Nile River, which was a rare heavy fire support for them.
In fact, this incident is also a matter of anger for the British.
Although the United Kingdom has recognized Egypt's independence, in fact they still regard Egypt as a protectorate and retain a strong military force in Egypt.
As the capital of Egypt after independence, although Cairo is not as important to the United Kingdom as Alexandria, it is still a city of considerable value. Many high-ranking officials of the British in Egypt, high-level officials of the Egyptian government, and the current ruler of Egypt, the King of Egypt All in Cairo.
Now that people have occupied this city and controlled a large number of people in the city, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the British Empire.
Although it is said that in 1922, the British Empire paid a heavy price in World War I, and its national strength was greatly depleted. It was unable to maintain the two-power rule that the Royal Navy needed to be equivalent to the sum of the naval forces of any other two countries in the world, and was forced to Signed a naval treaty and the Americans to maintain the same tonnage.
But the British Empire is still the world's No. 1 power in this era, and they have lost face like this, even if they start a war, they will get this face back.
Although the British officer in charge of the recapture of Cairo did not believe O'Connor's story about the mummy and did not think much of the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh's Guard, as a qualified officer, especially an officer of the British Empire, he was very Understand that the more cannon fodder, the better, especially the cannon fodder made up of colonists.
So he agreed to O'Connor's proposal to join forces with the Pharaoh Guard to attack Cairo, and even generously provided a batch of Lee Enfield rifles to the Pharaoh Guard.
It is to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh Guard.
O'Connor himself, because of his previous experience of serving in the French foreign mercenaries, was left by the British as a liaison officer, responsible for communicating the military coordination between the two sides.
As for the three Americans, because Cairo was occupied, the ship they were originally scheduled to return to the United States could not leave, so all three were stranded.
Although it is not impossible to bypass Alexandria and return to the United States by boat from there, but now that the news of the fall of Cairo has spread, Alexander must be eager to escape from Egypt. After discussing for a while, the three decided to stay.
At least staying with Chen Mo and the others is safe.
Chen Mo didn't pay too much attention to the choices of the three Americans, but after letting them stay in the camp and not run around, he and Adebe planned how to attack Cairo.
The numbers of the twelve Pharaoh Guards that were called up were not equal. The more might be one or two thousand, while the few were only a few hundred. It was not so much twelve armies as twelve tribes.
At the very beginning, they were the most elite troops in ancient Egypt and the most trusted warriors of the pharaohs. Otherwise, they would not have been entrusted by Ramses II to guard the tomb of Hamnatha.
The current Pharaoh's Guard has not lost much to their ancestors, and is still a strong and loyal warrior.
Otherwise, they wouldn't stick to a mission for more than 3,000 years. During this period, they were not afraid of life and death, and they always guarded the peace of Hamna Tower.
In the second part of the movie, this army of Pharaoh Guards resisted the attack of the Anubis Legion even more, and they were already strong and elite enough for human beings.
However, the times have changed. The elite troops in the era of cold weapons are only the tears of the era of slaughter in this era of hot weapons.
Although they have the courage to wield swords against the Legion of Death, they are still only mortals in the face of bullets.
Even because of the characteristics of the army in the cold weapon era, even if they changed to firearms that fit this era, they still turned into a backward rabble.
If it weren't for the fact that automatic weapons were not very popular in this era, I'm afraid this pharaoh's guard with a long history would become tears run over by the wheels of the times.
"Your people are all cavalry and are not suitable for sieging cities, so it is best to let the British play the vanguard~www.NovelMTL.com~ In the tent of the camp, Chen Mozheng, Adebe and several captains of the Pharaoh's Guard discussed with him. with a combat policy.
The reason why Chen Mo said this was mainly to save face for the Pharaoh's Guards, and at the same time to allow them to preserve their strength.
The Egyptian army and the British army were stationed in the city of Cairo. When Cairo fell, they were also controlled by Immorton.
Although Chen Mo didn't know how much combat effectiveness these armies could display after being controlled by Immorton, they were modern armies trained by the British after all. Chen Mo was not optimistic about the battle between the tribal cavalry and them.
Of course, even if those troops were only able to exert the same combat power as the civilians they saw that night, Chen Mo didn't intend to let the Pharaoh's Guard consume such strength.
"It's not the focus of attacking Kailuo. Our primary purpose is to stop Immorton." Adebe didn't care about this. In the eyes of him and the other captains of the Pharaoh's Guard, even if they were all dead, as long as they could stop Immorton Morton destroys the world, that's worth it.
As for Adebe's clear purpose, Chen Mo nodded in affirmation, but he still had some doubts: "What is the purpose of Immorton occupying Cairo? Logically speaking, he should not go straight to Hamna Tower to resurrect Ansuna?"
"That's because he has other ways to revive Ansuna." The dusty curator walked in from outside. He looked dusty and tired, but he rushed to the table and put a The ancient scroll was placed on the table: "I went back to the book cave of the Pharaoh's Guard and read the ancient scroll there, and finally found the information about Sekhmet's chosen warrior, if Ansuna is really Sekhmet. The chosen warrior, Immorton can use other methods to revive her."
