In the city of Heracleiopolis, in the palace of the city lord, Melibula Akhito was admiring the misguidance of the female slave.

Although compared to other warlords in the wine pool and meat forest, Mailibula is a more visionary and ambitious hero, but this does not mean that he will scrimp on food and clothing and invest all his accumulated wealth into military construction.

Chaos and division made his life better.

In front of Melibula, the dancers in cool clothes danced to impress. Although in Egypt, the status of female slaves like concubines is quite low, but every slave knows that as long as they are favored by their master, at least their living conditions will be better. Go up one floor.

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

"unlucky!"

The interest was disturbed, and Mailibula pushed away the dancer angrily. He didn't want to show a lustful image in front of his subordinates.

But thisHe also resented those who disturbed his mood.

"It’s already this time, what’s the emergency?"

Thinking like this, he sat upright and waited for someone to come.

Soon, a soldier wearing only leather shorts broke in.

"No, Governor! The soldier shouted breathlessly,"Mr. Governor, urgent report from the city, there are... enemies coming towards our city!""

"What enemy?"Mailibula did not panic when he heard the news, and still looked calm,"Where did the enemy come from? From nearby Nome? Or a robber? Or a rebellion?"

In fact, Melibula does not believe that there will be enemies now.

If there are really enemies, the above three are the most likely enemies to appear in Melibula. Today, Egypt is divided and doing its own thing. Warlords in various places are like vassal states. In this case, some warlords will indeed attack neighboring warlords, either for wealth, personal enmity, or territory. The possibility of banditry is not small, and losing Without the restraint and protection of the central government, some cities with lax defenses will indeed be blatantly attacked by sand bandits - the scale of today's sand bandits is not what it used to be. As the chaos continues, the power of many sand bandits has expanded rapidly. , and even some arrogant ones were no longer satisfied with robbing the country, and simply began to attack cities and territories and become lords.

As for rebellion, it is a common thing for self-reliant warlords in various places.

After all, self-reliant warlords in various places are no better than Pharaohs, they do not have Pharaohs In the name of orthodoxy, many people are unconvinced by the fact that they lead a party. These people are either die-hard ministers loyal to the Pharaoh, or local wealthy families with equally large local power who also want to establish themselves as warlords, etc. Those who are because of military tyranny There is no telling how many rebels there are in the uprising.

However, in Melibula, it is basically impossible for the above three to encounter them.

He does not believe that the neighboring warlords and his forces will launch an offensive at all. You know, he His power is considered to be the strongest among the warlords in the nearby Nomes, and even the entire Egypt. Although the warlords do not know this, they all know how powerful he is. With him as the leader, how can they dare to attack him?

Robbery is also impossible. After the warlords, in order to ensure the stability of the territory, Mailibula has carried out several raids near Heracleopolis and wiped out several sand bandits, large and small. Now his reputation is The news has spread among the sand pirates, and those guys don't even dare to harass the villages in his territory, so why attack him?

And the rebellion... In the land of Heracleiopolis, all the die-hard loyalists of the Pharaoh He killed him, and all the aristocratic families were obedient to him. As for the people, he was no better than those short-sighted guys. With Pharaoh's ambitions, he would not treat the people harshly. How could anyone rebel? And the soldier's answer was also Confirmed his thoughts

"Not the armies of other Nomes, nor bandits, nor rebels, my lord," the soldier said, his voice trembling with fear,"They are... they are... they are the army of the Pharaoh from Memphis.!"

"How can it be?!"

This answer made the originally calm Mailibula burst into laughter. He didn't care about the city or the image.

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

"You are not mistaken, are they really Pharaoh's army?"

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

The soldier confirmed this fact with a horrified expression.

"how so?"The news that the Pharaoh came to attack him made Melibula look disappointed,"No...it shouldn't be. Memphis should still be in chaos now. Those corrupt guys have made this country like this. , how could Memphis still organize an army? Stumped that the rumor is true? But...this is impossible?"

The chaotic situation in Egypt has made information from various places extremely closed. Except for Nitocris who can rely on caravans to collect intelligence, the rest of the warlords mostly rely on certain rumors to know other places. Of course, if If it was Memphis, there would also be liaison between local officials and officials in Memphis.

However, as Nitocles regained power, most of the officials were disposed of, and through this method, information about Memphis was obtained It didn't work, so most of what these officials knew about Memphis came from rumors.

For example,"The Pharaoh killed all the officials in one go.""、"Pharaoh invented a new smelting technology"、"The Pharaoh promoted many high officials from among the common people"……These rumors are not reliable at first glance.

In short, due to the long-term chaos and contempt for the female pharaoh, Nitocris's hard work in the past four years did not attract the attention of the rebels at all.

So now, they have to pay for their carelessness.

Although he couldn't believe it, since the urgent news came from the city, Mailibula still believed in his men, so he immediately ordered the mobilization of weapons and supplies, and at the same time he rushed to the city.

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

Sure enough, this was indeed Pharaoh’s army.

Heracleiopolis and the Pharaoh's city, the royal capital Memphis, were not adjacent to each other, and were separated by several Nomes.

What does it mean that Pharaoh's army appears here today?

Those Nomes were probably captured by the Pharaoh.

From this point of view, this army also has its shortcomings. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
