The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Major Ron is the British officer and commander of the infantry who was ordered to recover Egypt this time.

At this moment, he is riding on a horse, leading his troops from the station to Cairo.

Although the British army's station in the Canal Zone was not far from Cairo, the hot weather and bad road conditions made the army move slowly.

Especially the artillery battalion assigned to Major Ron for this operation, the cannons they carried seriously slowed down the troop's progress.

"This damn weather!" Major Ron cursed, picked up the water bottle and took another sip into his mouth.

As a British gentleman who was born and raised in the English countryside, Ron has long been accustomed to the perennial rainy weather in his native land, and is very uncomfortable with the hot and dry climate in Egypt.

But as a lower-class nobleman whose family has fallen, Major Ron wants to revive his family. Joining the army and making military achievements is the easiest and easiest way to achieve it.

As one of the few remaining nobles, Major Ron entered the army as an officer and participated in the last war as a second lieutenant.

Relying on the experience of almost falling into a trench in the mud of the Marne River and the good luck of surviving in the end, Major Ron was promoted to be the commander of the major infantry regiment, and his superiors also transferred him to Egypt, the most important place for the British Empire. It is an important place, and it is also one of the few places where military merit can be obtained quickly after the war.

Major Ron is very satisfied with his transfer to Egypt. After all, the Suez Canal is an absolutely unforgivable interest for the British Empire, and the successive uprisings of the Egyptians are an excellent way to gain military merit in his opinion.

It's just that the only fly in the ointment is the bad weather in Egypt, and the fact that the local orderlies are not as good as his Indian orderlies back then.

"How far are we from Cairo?" Major Ron looked at his orderly, a good Angsa boy who joined the army from the mainland with enthusiasm and loyalty to the empire. Major Ron also liked him very much, but Perhaps because of his background as a commoner, this young man's technique of making black tea is really terrible.

When asked by Major Ron, the orderly quickly replied: "Major, we are still about 20 kilometers away from Cairo, and we should be able to reach the outskirts of Cairo this afternoon."

As an orderly, this information should be kept in hand at all times, in case the superior should inquire.

"Go and tell William to let the soldiers speed up, and we can rest earlier if we arrive earlier." Major Ron gave orders to the orderlies. William was his adjutant and was in charge of the march at this time.

The orderly led away, while Major Ron took out the marching map he carried with him, and flipped through it casually.

Major Ron didn't take the task of recovering Cairo too seriously.

In his view, this is just another uprising of the local opposition in Egypt. These things have happened endlessly since the British occupation here, and they have suppressed it many times.

Although it seemed that there was a lot of trouble this time, the whole of Cairo was occupied, and even the garrison in Cairo was controlled by the other party, but in Major Ron's view, this was just his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as he can successfully recover Cairo, he will be able to write a valuable sum on his resume, and he can also make good friends with his country's high-level officials in Egypt, which will be very helpful for Major Ron's promotion in the future.

With this in mind, Major Ron wished that the troops could arrive in Cairo as soon as possible, and the sooner he arrived, the sooner he could recover Cairo.

As for whether Cairo can be successfully recovered, it is completely out of Major Ron's consideration.

Although the opponent had already occupied Cairo and controlled both the local Egyptian army in the city and the British army stationed in Cairo, Major Ron still did not take him seriously.

In Major Ron's view,

The opponent was nothing more than a group of stragglers who took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders and succeeded in a sneak attack, which was no different from the tribal armed forces that had been suppressed before. Maybe they looked very bluffing by pretending to be gods and ghosts, and they might indeed bluff some people.

For example, the so-called "Pharaoh's Guard" assembled, their cavalry of tens of thousands of people really looked like a large number of people, but this was not what Major Ron cared about.

You must know that although the British Empire now has fewer than 100,000 troops stationed in the entire Suez Canal area, it still has tens of thousands of troops, and the tribal armed forces are not considered by the British Empire at all.

Even if there are regular armed forces, such as the French occupying Cairo, the British Empire's army is confident in defending the interests and glory of the empire.

"What revived mummies, what are the ten plagues of Egypt, these people have stayed in this ghostly place for a long time, and their brains have been sunburned." Major Ron didn't believe a word of the information that O'Connor reported before: " It’s the twentieth century now, how can anyone still believe in such medieval nonsense? But it’s also good, with the extra 10,000 cavalry, I can save some trouble when attacking the city.”

In fact, if there were not 10,000 tribal cavalry from the Pharaoh's guard, the Canal Garrison would not have said that only one infantry regiment was sent to recover Egypt.

What they are fighting is to use tribal cavalry to attack Egypt, and then consume the strength of the armed forces in these places, weaken the strength of the opposition, and allow the British to better control the idea of ​​this area.

Although the British Empire declared Egypt's independence, it only gave them an independent title. In fact, the whole of Egypt is still under the control of the British Empire.

In order to stabilize the rule, these tribal armed forces that are not under the control of the British Empire must be restricted. It is best to bring them all under the control of the British Empire. This time the Cairo incident happened to be such a good opportunity.

With such thoughts in mind, Major Ron urged the troops, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Cairo before dark, and settled down.

As a qualified officer, although Major Ron looked down upon and was full of contempt for the "tribal armed forces" occupying Cairo City, he still firmly abided by the marching regulations, and the troops' camps were built very well. According to the standard, he also inspected the camp carefully, and after arranging the sentry for the night watch, he returned to his camp to rest.

The hot weather made it difficult for Major Ron to fall asleep. Although he was exhausted after a day of marching, he still struggled for a long time before falling asleep.

But before he could sleep for a long time, screams suddenly came from the camp, which woke up Major Ron and caused even bigger disturbances in the camp.
