The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse
Chapter 27 The British Response
In a camp not far from Hamna Tower, a large number of cavalry in black robes gathered here.
They are all members of the pharaoh's guard who gathered in response to Adbe's call.
At this time, three days have passed since they escaped from Cairo, and things have completely deviated from the track of the original movie.
Imerton, who occupied Cairo, did not capture Evelyn like in the movie, and naturally there was no plot of taking her to Hamna Tower to revive Ansuna.
The pharaoh guards, who had to wait until the plot of the second movie, also assembled in advance. In three days, tens of thousands of tribal cavalry gathered in this temporary camp.
During these three days, Chen Mo and the others were not idle.
O'Connor contacted his friends and brought an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion from the British garrison on the Nile River, which was their rare heavy fire support.
In fact, this incident is also an outrageous thing for the British.
Although Britain has recognized Egypt's independence, in fact they still regard Egypt as a protectorate and retain a strong military force in Egypt.
As the capital of Egypt after independence, although Cairo is not as important as Alexandria to the United Kingdom, it is still a city of considerable value. Many senior officials of the British in Egypt, senior officials of the Egyptian government, and the current ruler of Egypt, the King of Egypt All in Cairo.
Now that the city has been occupied and a large number of people in the city have been controlled, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face for the British Empire.
Although in 1922, the British Empire paid a heavy price in the First World War and its national power was greatly consumed, it was no longer able to maintain the two-power rule that the Royal Navy needed to be equivalent to the sum of the naval power of any other two countries in the world. A naval treaty was signed to keep the tonnage in line with the Americans.
But the British Empire is still the most powerful country in the world in this era. After being cut off in such a way, even if they start a war, they will get back this face.
Although the British officer in charge of recovering Cairo did not believe O'Connor's story about the mummy, and did not think much of the tribal cavalry of the Pharaoh's guard, as a qualified officer, especially an officer of the British Empire, he was still very satisfied. Understand that the more cannon fodder the better, especially the cannon fodder composed of colonial people.
Therefore, he agreed to O'Connor's plan to jointly attack Cairo with the Pharaoh Guard, and even generously provided a batch of Lee Enfield rifles to the Pharaoh Guard.
It can be regarded as strengthening the combat effectiveness of the tribal cavalry of the pharaoh guard.
Because O'Connor himself had previously served in the French foreign mercenary army, he was left by the British as a liaison officer, responsible for communicating the military coordination between the two parties.
As for the three Americans, because Cairo was occupied, the boat they were supposed to return to the United States couldn't leave, so all three of them were stranded.
Although it is not impossible to detour to Alexander and return to the United States by boat from there, but now that the news of Cairo's fall has spread, Alexander must be someone who is eager to escape from Egypt. Even if they go, it may be difficult to get a boat ticket, so After discussing for a while, the three decided to stay.
At least staying with Chen Mo and the others, safety is guaranteed.
Chen Mo didn't pay too much attention to the choices of the three Americans, but after telling them to stay in the camp and not run around, he and Adebe planned how to attack Cairo.
The twelve Pharaoh's guards that were summoned were not equal in number. There might be one or two thousand people more, and only a few hundred people less. It is not so much twelve armies as it is twelve tribes.
In the beginning, they used to be the most elite army in ancient Egypt, and they were also the most trusted warriors of the pharaoh. Otherwise, they would not have been entrusted by Ramses II with the important task of guarding the tomb of Hamnata.
Today's Pharaoh's Guard has not lost much to their ancestors, and remains a powerful and loyal warrior.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have stuck to a mission for more than three thousand years, during which they were not afraid of life and death, and had been guarding the peace of Hamna Tower.
In the second part of the movie, the army composed of the Pharaoh's guards even resisted the attack of the Anubis Legion. For humans, they are strong and elite enough.
However, times have changed. The elite troops in the era of cold weapons are just tears in the era of massacres in this era of hot weapons.
Although they have the courage to wield their swords against the Legion of Death, they are still mere mortals in the face of bullets.
Even because of the characteristics of the army in the cold weapon era, even if they were replaced with firearms in line with this era, they still became a backward rabble.
If automatic weapons were not particularly popular in this era, I am afraid that this pharaoh guard with a long history would become tears run over by the wheels of the times.
"Your people are all cavalry, not suitable for attacking the city, so it's better to let the British take the vanguard." In the tent of the camp, Chen Mo was discussing the battle strategy with Adebe and several captains of the pharaoh's guard.
The reason why Chen Mo said this was mainly to save face for the pharaoh guards, and at the same time let them preserve their strength.
Cairo was stationed with the Egyptian army and the British army. When Cairo fell, these troops were also controlled by Imerton.
Although Chen Mo didn't know how much combat effectiveness these troops could display after being controlled by Imerton, they were after all a modern army trained by the British, and Chen Mo was not optimistic about the battle between the tribal cavalry and them.
Of course, even if those troops could only display the same combat power as the civilians they saw that night, Chen Mo didn't intend to let the pharaoh guards consume their strength like this.
"Attacking Cairo is not the point. Our primary goal is to stop Imerton." Adbe didn't care about this. In his and other captains of the pharaoh's guard, even if they were all dead, as long as we could stop Imerton Morton destroys the world, and that's what it's worth.
Regarding Adbe's clear purpose, Chen Mo nodded in affirmation, but he still has some doubts: "Why did Imerton occupy Cairo? Logically speaking, shouldn't he go straight to Hamna Tower to revive him?" Ansuna?"
"That's because he has other ways to revive Ansuna." The dusty curator walked in from the outside. He looked covered in dust and his face could not hide his fatigue, but he still rushed to the table and took a piece of paper. The ancient scroll was placed on the table: "I went back to the library cave of the Pharaoh's guards, looked through the ancient scrolls there, and finally found information about Sekhmet's chosen warrior. If Ansuna is really Sekhmet The chosen warrior, then Imerton can use other methods to revive her."
