In short, with the overwhelming offensive, the army finally came to the vicinity of Herakliopolis.

If Nitocris hadn't risen, her mediocre heirs would naturally not have sensed the governor's ambitions.But Nitocris is different.Before the war, she sent many caravans to all parts of Egypt in the form of grain trade, and took the opportunity to collect intelligence from various places in preparation for the war.

Due to the chaos in Egypt, except for Memphis, the grain production in all parts of Egypt has fallen sharply, even in the Nile Delta, so grain merchants are welcome everywhere.

And for such a method of intelligence collection, no one in this era can see the clues.

Therefore, relying on this advanced method, Nitocris successfully obtained information from various places, among which Melibra's unusual behavior naturally attracted her attention.

Heroes like Melibra must be smothered in the bud.

Chapter 0846 The Doubts Of Melibra

In the city of Herakliopolis, in the city lord's mansion, Melibra Aheito is enjoying the dance of the female slaves.

Although compared to other warlords in the wine pond and meat forest, Melibra is a more far-sighted and aspiring hero, but this does not mean that he will save money and invest all the wealth he has accumulated into the construction of the army.

Chaos and division still made his life better.

In front of Melibra, the coolly dressed dancers danced with great effort. Although in Egypt, the status of concubines and slaves was quite low, but every slave knew that as long as they were favored by their masters, at least their living conditions would be better. Go up one floor.

Facing the seductive dance in front of him, Melibra felt a little ready to move. Just when he was impulsively trying to get started, there was a sudden sound of fierce footsteps outside the door.

"unlucky!"

His interest was disturbed, and Melibra pushed away the dancer angrily. He didn't want to put on a lustful image in front of his subordinates.

But the guy who disturbed his interest was also hated by him.

"It's all this time, what's the urgency?"

With that in mind, he sat upright and waited for someone to come.

Soon, a soldier wearing only leather shorts broke in.

"It's not good, Lord Governor!" the soldier shouted breathlessly, "Mr Governor, the city head is in a hurry, there is... an enemy is coming to our city!"

"What enemy?" Melibra didn't panic when he heard the news, still looking calm, "Where did the enemy come from? From nearby Nome? Or a robber? Or a rebellion?"

In fact, Melibra is completely unconvinced that there will be an enemy now.

If there are really enemies, the above three are the most likely enemies to appear in Melibra. Today, Egypt is divided in various parts and governs independently, and the warlords in various places are like vassal states. In this case, some Warlords do attack neighboring warlords, either for money, for personal vendettas, or for their territories.

The possibility of robbers is not small. Without the restraint and protection of the central government, some cities with weak defenses will indeed be attacked by sand thieves blatantly. The power of many sand thieves is expanding rapidly, and even some arrogant ones are no longer satisfied with the robbery, and simply start to attack the city and become the lord of the party.

As for rebellion, it is even more commonplace for warlords who stand on their own feet everywhere.

After all, the self-reliant warlords in various places are no better than the pharaohs. They do not have the orthodox name of the pharaohs. Many people are not convinced that they lead the party. These people are either loyal ministers loyal to the pharaohs, or the local forces are equally large and want to stand on their own. The local nobles for the warlords, etc., the rebels who rebelled because of the tyranny of the warlords are even more unknown.

However, in Melibra, the above three are basically impossible to meet.

He didn't believe that the nearby warlords would attack his forces at all. You must know that his strength was considered to be the strongest among the nearby Noams, or even the entire Egyptian warlords. Although the nearby warlords did not know this, But they all know how powerful he is, and with him at the head, how could he dare to attack him?

It is also impossible for a robber. After establishing himself as a warlord, in order to ensure the stability of the territory, Melibra has carried out several sweeps near Heracleapolis, and wiped out several large and small sand thieves. Now his His prestige has spread among the sand pirates, and those guys didn't even dare to harass the villages in his territory. How could they attack him?

And the rebellion... In the land of Herakliopolis, all the loyalists of the pharaoh were killed by him, and all the great families were obedient to him. As for those people, he was no better than those short-sighted guys. With the ambition of the pharaoh, he naturally would not treat the people harshly, so how could there be an uprising?

The soldier's answer also confirmed his idea.

"Not the armies of other Normes, nor robbers, nor any rebels, my lord," said the soldier, his voice trembling with fear, "they are...they are...they are the pharaohs from Memphis. army!"

"how is this possible?!"

This answer made the originally calm Melibra slapped the table, completely disregarding what city government and what image.

He stepped forward and grabbed the soldier's shoulder tightly.

"You're not mistaken, is it really the Pharaoh's army?"

"Yes, I recognize the flag, the symbols of 'Red and White Crown', 'Horus' and 'Ra', that is the army of the Pharaoh, yes!"

The soldier confirmed this fact with horror on his face.

"How could this be?" The news that the Pharaoh came to attack him made Melibra look disappointed, "No... it shouldn't, Memphis should be in chaos right now, those corrupt guys put this With the country like this, how can Memphis organize an army? Could that rumor be true? But... it's impossible?"

The chaotic situation in Egypt has made the news in various places extremely stagnant. Except for Nitocris, who can rely on the caravan to collect intelligence, the rest of the warlords know that most of the other places rely on some rumors.Of course, in the case of Memphis, there is also the liaison between local officials and officials in Memphis.

However, with Nitocris's return to power, most of the officials were disposed of, and the means of obtaining information on Memphis through this method did not work, so most of these officials' knowledge of Memphis came from rumors.

For example, "Pharaoh killed all the officials in one go", "Pharaoh invented a new smelting technology", "Pharaoh promoted many high-ranking officials from the common people"... These rumors are not reliable.

In short, due to the long-term chaos and contempt for the female pharaoh, Nitocris's hard work for four years has not attracted the attention of the rebels.

So now, they have to pay for their carelessness.

Although he couldn't believe it, since the urgent report from the city head came, Melibra still believed his subordinates, so he immediately ordered the mobilization of weapons and supplies, and at the same time he rushed to the city head.

Then he saw that in the rolling yellow sand in the distance, a dark army was setting up camp. Their banner was the symbol of the pharaoh. As a past governor, Melibra was quite familiar with this.

Sure enough, this was indeed the Pharaoh's army.

The city of Heracliopolis and the pharaoh, the capital of Memphis, are not adjacent to each other, and there are several Nomes in the middle.

What does the presence of the Pharaoh's army here today indicate?

Those Norms were probably captured by the Pharaoh.

In this way, this army also has two strokes.
