‘If you can maneuver quickly, especially if your scouts and intelligence officers are safe and reliable, then you can defeat the enemy of a battalion with the strength of a team.”——A Byzantine general

Ships, various ships, flat-topped cargo ships, sailing long ships, double-row warships, paddlers, pharmacists, and military dealers all gathered from various islands and several directions towards Salamis. Li Bida deliberately asked the camp to serve and changed the password to "Alexander".

Alexander, Alexander, now the soldiers and low-ranking centurions in the army are aiming for this and are practicing hard. Many light-clad scattered soldiers put on Knubai with armor and used stick casters and bows to shoot targets. The dealers in the camp also began to buy some inexpensive goods, "Prepare to store them, and you can sell them at a good price in Alexander City."

Since it is a deception, you have to deceive your subordinates. Now, in addition to senior officers and core personnel, the real plan to attack Perusim Fortress has been cleverly hidden.

Several spies sat carefully on a small three-masted ship in the magnificent Alexander Harbor against the walls of the water. After docking, they entered the back alley of the Ptolemy Palace. After several tired eunuchs opened the door, the spies claimed that there was a major intelligence to report to the king and the female pharaoh, but the eunuch's answer was that the most sacred couple in Egypt, who had already sat on their shoulders and took their entourage to the city of Thebes in the south. On the one hand, they wanted to ask the priests of the major temples of the ancient city to bless their marriage, and on the other hand, they were also preparing to celebrate the festival with all the Egyptian indigenous people in the Valley to show peace in the world.

In addition, another factor is that the monarch and upper class of the Ptolemaic dynasty were always dominated by the Macedonians, which also caused dissatisfaction among the traditional Egyptian people and clergy. The center of these people's circle of power was in the Upper Egypt, especially the sister of the Little Queen Beneniki. She was spoiled in the palace since she was a child. She could not speak Egyptian at all, but only spoke Greek. When the rebellion was rebelled, there were only officers, merchants and some powerful people supported her. The people and priests were very indifferent to her. Therefore, the new couple Benineniki and Achillus rushed there to spend several months, and they also had the will to fully appease the lower class of Egypt.

Therefore, these spies who worked hard and made great contributions did not see the female pharaoh after a busy schedule. Instead, the senior officer named Xiebekhu, with the title of "Capital Guard Chief", summoned several low-level civil servants and small leaders, and formulated a defense plan casually and smoothly:

"Alexander's fleet is divided into two parts, one is stationed in the harbor, and the other is cruising in the Triangle River region, striving to annihilate most of it in the offshore areas after the enemy's restoration army approaches. Libyan mercenaries are stationed in Idawui Castle, guarding the oasis and business roads in the south of Alexander; the troops left by the Holmahi Legion. All are on standby at Alexander; the eastern gateway Perusim Castle, leaving ten phalanx companies (each 250 people) Nubian mercenaries stationed. Our defensive front is safe and worry-free. When the sacred pharaoh couple returned from Thebes, probably the salted head of the enemy had been hanging on the large tower of the city gate for a long time."

In the small town of Nicosia in the north of Cyprus, in the Governor's mansion, Li Bida was basking in the gentle sunshine in the courtyard, eating local olive oil dipped in coriander. The coriander was so fragrant, crispy and sweet. Since he left Kato, it has been his territory. Cannedis is equivalent to his subordinates. He gave orders here to raise ships and supplies. He often received the visits from the high priest Defomokis of Paphos, and he was already the Supreme Emperor of Cyprus.

At this time, Di Linmo, covered in blood, started to clamor at the gate and asked to see the respected commander-in-chief, "He promised me that I have escaped the hunt for horse bandits all the way, hoping to get care and reward."

Li Bida said to the servant of Siqin, let this person come in, and then the curtains behind him flashed. Queen Yan walked out and looked curiously at the vulgar guy standing in front of Li Bida, "I promised you that you will not be less than an Ass, and I will cash it to you tonight. However, Dilinmo, oh sorry, now you should call Diotus, your poor coolie shirt and this dirty beard, keep in charge of your business! Take this person behind, cleanse your face, remove hair, cut hair, and bathe incense." After giving the order, Li Bida handed two pieces of coriander to Diotus and asked him if he would eat it. The other party hesitated, nodded and bowed, and then walked through the middle of the commander-in-chief and Queen Yan, and walked into the backyard.

"I didn't expect that my friend, you still like betrayers." Xiao Yanxiu leaned on Li Bida's ring chair and asked.

"This is not a betrayer, it's just a poor person who has ruined his brains for Xiao Jiatu before. He can at least make a fortune and not worry about money when he follows me."

"What's the value of such a low-key guy?" Cleopatra asked, chewing a piece of coriander from Li Bida's hand, chewed it gently.

“It has great value to you.”

This really aroused the curiosity of Xiaoyan Queen. She began to pester Li Bida and asked questions, but Li Bida just shook her head and smiled without saying a word. Until Diotus dressed up and stood up again, Li Bida looked at this person with a clean and slender beard, wearing a white scholar's robe, leather leggings, and a green leaf crown. In addition to his eyes, he was full of avoidance and flickering, he was really like that.

Now, Cleopatra, who looked up and down, was dumbfounded, and then said with some angrily, "I guessed that Libidaus, you asked this fake to enter the royal court. You shouldn't be my teacher? Are you just so lacking the eyeliner to control our kingdom? Whether it is Petternius, Anthony, or your in-laws who only know how to prostitute and rob, your thin and small staff officer is so cute, I endure it. Now I still want this low-key guy to transform into a palace and become a servant!"

Li Bida was afraid of getting up with the handrail, then walked to the uneasy Diotus and tidied up for him, "Raise your chin, narrow your shoulders, look arrogant, look at people, look at people, look at people, and look at people. Then I will find someone to tutor you in other aspects."

"Hey, Libidaus, you haven't answered my question yet." Xiao Yanhou shouted behind her.

After supporting Diotus, Li Bida turned around and said to the little queen who only had her shoulders, "Do you want to be a pharaoh of Egypt?"

These words suddenly scared Xiao Yanxiu instantly. She began to suck and stammer, neither affirming nor denying.

"But you didn't tell me easily in the palace in Naples that your wish was to replace your sister, was the female pharaoh at that time? Then, now I can help you realize this wish." Li Bida said.
