While Chen Mo and others sneaked into Cairo, British reinforcements also arrived in the suburbs of Cairo.
Having learned the lesson when Major Rowan's infantry regiment was crippled last time, the British acted very cautiously this time. Although they were full of anger and felt that the dignity of the British Empire had been insulted, they still first merged with the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh Guards.
After both sides established a solid camp together, they began to prepare for the attack on Cairo.
In the central tent of the coalition camp, the man who personally led the army was a British colonel. Although he also disagreed with the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh Guards and the stories they told about Immortun, the tens of thousands of tribal cavalry were still a group of soldiers.
With a considerable force, and the fact that an infantry regiment had been disabled for no apparent reason before, the colonel still knew that something might be worse than he expected.
Therefore, the colonel still gave superficial respect to Adebe, the commander of the Pharaoh's guard.
After some information exchange between the two sides, the colonel asked Adebe: "What do you think of the current situation in Cairo?"
"Our people have sneaked into the city. He will find a way to solve the non-mortal troubles in Cairo." Before the British came, the curator and Chen Mo both explained how Adebe should deal with them, so Adebe
Debei did not talk too much about Immorton, but only told the British the plan that Chen Mo had explained before: "And we are responsible for launching an attack outside the city, drawing out the enemies in the city, and attacking
They create opportunities."
The British colonel didn't see any problem with this plan, and it was a blessing for him to not have to deal with those inhuman things.
However, he still asked Adebe: "How do you ensure that the people in the city will be lured out? What if they just defend? You are just cavalry, so you have no advantage in attacking the city, right?"
Although the colonel also wanted to let Adebe and the others serve as cannon fodder for the main attack, he was not stupid enough to let the cavalry attack the city and waste the chips in his hand.
Although according to the strategy discussed by the top brass of the British army, Adebe and his tribal cavalry were to kill the resistance forces in the city, thereby weakening both of them, this did not mean that the troops would be wasted directly.
And in addition to this problem, the colonel is also very concerned about whether the people Adebe said who sneaked into Cairo can solve the problem.
Although he dismissed the so-called resurrection of the high priest three thousand years ago that he had heard before, as a senior officer of the Suez Canal garrison, the colonel still knew some mysterious events that did happen in this land.
In fact, Britain has always been concerned about the mysterious events in Egypt, and even specially sent professionals from the mainland to deal with and suppress these events.
When he came to recapture Cairo this time, the colonel also brought this professional with him.
Adebe didn’t quite know what the British were thinking, but he still answered the colonel’s question: “The people in the city are influenced by the ancient Egyptian god Sekhmet. She is the god of war in ancient Egyptian mythology. She is known for her ferocious cruelty.
It is well known that under the influence of her power, although the people in the city will not completely lose their minds, they will become bloodthirsty and warlike.
In addition, after being manipulated, they became puppets and only had instinctive reactions, so as long as they are used a little bit, luring them out of the city is not a big problem."
When Adebe was answering the colonel's question, a veteran standing next to the colonel without any rank markings and wearing a shabby military uniform suddenly asked: "Are you sure that everyone in the city is under control?"
Hearing the veteran speak, the colonel immediately gave up his position and showed great respect to the veteran. Several other British officers on the side also had the same attitude.
The colonel's actions immediately surprised both Adebe and O'Connor. They didn't understand who this veteran was and why he was so respected.
But at this time, O'Connor noticed a garter tied around the veteran's leg, which seemed to have a line of words printed on it. This immediately reminded him of something, so he asked: "Are you a Knight of the Garter?"
"No, I'm just a veteran and a poor knight." The veteran shrugged indifferently, smiled at O'Connor, and then continued to ask seriously: "Can you tell me about the situation in Cairo?
Although these children don’t really believe in the myths and legends about ancient Egypt, I, an old guy, still want to hear it.”
The veteran who called himself the Poor Knight in front of him had a very kind attitude. When O'Connor looked at him, he reminded him of his good friend Winston, so he also had a good impression of him, so he introduced the old knight about Immorton and told him
He explained Chen Mo's speculation that Immorton was preparing a ceremony in Cairo to bring Sekhmet to earth.
After listening to O'Connor's introduction, the veteran's face suddenly became serious. After asking O'Connor for some details, his whole expression changed.
"Damn it, is the matter so serious?" The veteran hammered the table hard, took a deep breath, and said to the colonel beside him: "I now exercise the authority of George V, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India.
His Majesty, who has given me full powers over special affairs in Egypt, hereby orders the British Empire’s military forces in Egypt to fully cooperate in resolving the Cairo crisis. Anyone who attempts to obstruct and delay the resolution of the incident during this period will be punished for delaying the war and treason!"
The veteran's words immediately made several British officers on the side turn green.
Although they are indeed angry that an infantry regiment was crippled without even seeing the enemy's shadow, and they really want to regain their face, this does not mean that they will want to fight here, let alone destroy them here.
His future career and honor are all on the line.
You must know that what the veterans are talking about is delaying the flight and being punished for treason. This means only one thing to any soldier, that is, all honors will be wiped out, and he will be brought to a military court with great disgrace, including his family.
Everyone will be implicated, which can be said to be a very shameful thing.
But it is obvious that the veterans have enough intimidation to these officers and can indeed command them.
Even with such a harsh order, several officers, with their faces so wrinkled that they almost huddled together, saluted the veteran and began to execute the military order.
At the same time, the veteran also grabbed O'Connor and asked him: "How did your people enter the city? I want to go in now, do you have any ideas?"
