Alexandria is the largest port in Egypt. At the same time, Alexandria was also the capital of the Ptolemaic Dynasty in ancient Egypt...

Today is the weekly market in Alexandria.

On this day, all civilians can enter the port of Alexandria, which is usually regarded as a royal forbidden area, and conduct transactions here.

However, during today's market, all the Egyptian civilians who came to Alexandria witnessed a miraculous spectacle.

Today, as usual, is a beautiful sunny day.

Well, the fact is that Egypt rarely has a rainy season...it is bright and sunny most of the year.

The civilians carrying their respective goods came to Alexandria early, and after finding the best place, they began to set up street stalls.

As time went by, when the sun rose high, the entire market was already crowded with people.

After all, in this era, the once-a-week market period is very important for many families.

On this day, they take all kinds of items that they have worked hard for a week to the market to sell in exchange for money, and even... they will use barter to exchange for the daily necessities they need...

What did you say? ?

Why not open a small shop in the city...

Please, for many people, the value of a store is enough for them to work for a lifetime without eating or drinking.

Moreover, for many civilians who just supplement their household expenses, renting a shop for some gadgets they made is a waste of money.

After all, for many people, they do not have a stable source of goods, and what they sell are only some homemade or brewed wine or small handicrafts... In this case, renting a shop is obviously not a wise choice.

And the market during the market period is a good way.

Here, they don't have to pay taxes, let alone rent shops, and a piece of cloth with some goods is enough to complete the preparatory work for selling goods.

At this time, in the Alexandria Bazaar, crowds of people crowded shoulder to shoulder...

The sound of hawking, bargaining... can be heard endlessly.

Everyone wants to choose their favorite products in the market, or exchange their products for money...

However, at this moment, a surprised voice suddenly yelled... "My God, what is that???"

Following the sudden shout, many people looked around...

Everyone has curiosity. In this era of lack of entertainment, a little movement can attract a group of idlers to watch.

Soon, someone found the target that the exclamation was pointing at.

I saw, on the sea level in the distance, a small boat was slowly emerging from the sea...

Seeing this situation, the man couldn't help but sneered, "It's so ignorant, just a small boat surprised you like this...Are you a country bumpkin from other places??"

The sense of regional superiority has existed since ancient times...

As the capital and largest city of ancient Egypt, the citizens of Alexandria have a sense of pride that far exceeds that of people in other places.

The man's sarcasm immediately caused a burst of laughter...

And the person who just made a surprised sound said angrily: "What do you know? I have been fishing at sea for half my life. Have I never seen a small boat?? But... this is not a small boat... By God, in such a boat This ship can be seen from far away, so how big is this ship..."

Just then, a voice shouted: "Look...a lot of boats..."

Everyone couldn't help but look into the distance again...

I saw that next to the small boat, many black spots appeared again...

At first there were only a dozen, but later, it gradually became dozens, hundreds...

Against the backdrop of those black dots, when everyone looked at the boat-like object, they suddenly had a different feeling.

As the fleet draws closer, closer...

When the red and white umbrella logo on the bow of the Umbrella was clearly visible... the sea monster finally revealed its full picture in front of everyone.

Facing this giant steel beast like a hill, no matter the civilians who were trading or the royal guards responsible for maintaining order, they all couldn't help but put down all the work in their hands, and looked at it stupidly. With this sea fortress...

Colossal monsters...steel sea beasts...

"Run...the sea monster is out..."

Not only did I know who yelled such a voice... Suddenly, the whole market was in chaos, those who were knocked over by the crowd were crying on the ground, those who couldn't find their children, those who maintained order... All kinds of voices were mixed together. At the same time, the market, which was still bustling just now, turned into a scene like the end of the world.

Of course, not everyone was running away, and some sensible people saw the Roman flag flying in the fleet following the giant steel ship.

They shouted: "Don't panic, it's just a Roman fleet!!"

However, their shouts seemed so small and insignificant in the chaotic crowd...

After all, people have a blind herd mentality. Seeing others run, if they don't run, it seems something wrong...

Take a few breaths... The Port of Alexandria, which was bustling just now, now has only two or three kittens left.

All kinds of goods were discarded everywhere... There were more than a dozen unlucky people who were pushed to the ground while escaping... They moaned softly... whimpering...

When Zhou Ye stepped off the Umbrella, he saw such a messy scene...

"It seems that we have disrupted the market order here!!" Zhou Ye said without sincerity, looking at the scenery in front of him.

"Wherever you pass, everything must make way for you, Your Majesty!!" Marcus, who was standing behind Zhou Ye, said respectfully.

"Haha... I'm not that overbearing..." Zhou Ye smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I'm still very interested in the market here..."

"Those civilians were frightened by the power of your [Seat of God]..."

"..." Hearing what Marcus said, Zhou Ye was speechless for a while... But having said that, in this era, the Umbrella is indeed easy to scare people.

At this time, in the palace not far away, thousands of Egyptian soldiers poured out like a tide. They were fully armed and armed with weapons, and surrounded the entire port. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a general's armor. The man shouted: "I don't know why the nobles of Rome came here?? Is it war or peace?"

And Marcus didn't care about such a shout... For him, the other party put on this defensive posture, which was a kind of provocation to his own crown... He just stepped off after he planned to order When the soldiers of the ship formed formation... Zhou Ye stopped them.
