Today is the weekly market in Alexandria.
On this day, all civilians can enter the port of Alexandria, which is regarded as a royal forbidden area, and trade here.
However, in today's market period, all the Egyptian civilians who came to Alexandria witnessed a miraculous scene.
Today is a sunny day as usual.
Well, in fact, Egypt has very few rainy seasons...It's most of the year is beautiful.
The civilians, carrying their goods, came to Alexandria early, and after finding the best location, they began to set up a stall.
As time goes by, when the sun rises high, the entire market is full of people.
After all, in this era, the weekly market period is crucial for many families.
On this day, they took the various items that they had worked hard for a week to sell in the market in exchange for money, and even... they would barter in exchange for the daily necessities they needed...
what did you say??
Why not open a small shop in the city...
Please, for many people, the value of a store is enough to make them work for a lifetime without eating or drinking.
Moreover, for many civilians who just subsidize their homes, renting a shop for some gadgets they make is a complete waste of money.
After all, for many people, they do not have a stable source of goods, and what they sell is only some homemade or brewed alcohol or small crafts...In this case, renting a shop is obviously not a wise choice.
The market in the market period is a good way.
Here, they don’t have to pay taxes, let alone rent a shop. A piece of cloth and some goods is enough to complete the preparatory work for selling goods.
At this time, the Alexandria market was full of people, one after another...
The sound of shouting, bargaining... is endless.
Everyone wants to choose their favorite commodities in the market, or exchange their commodities for money...
However, at this moment, a surprised voice suddenly yelled... "The god is on top, what is that??"
With the sudden shout, many people looked around...
Everyone has curiosity. In this era of lack of entertainment, a little movement can attract a crowd of idlers.
Soon, someone found the target pointed by the scream.
I saw that 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, it's just a small boat that surprised you like this...Are you a hillbilly from other places??"
Regional superiority has been there 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 other places.
The ridicule of this man immediately caused a burst of laughter...
And the person who had just made the surprised sound said angrily: "What do you know? I have been fishing for half my life at sea, have I never seen a boat? But...this is not a boat...the gods are on it, so You can see this ship from far away, how big is this ship..."
At this moment, a voice shouted: "Look at... many ships..."
Everyone couldn't help but look into the distance again...
I saw that beside the boat, there were many black spots...
At first there were only a dozen, but later, it gradually became dozens, hundreds...
Against the backdrop of those black spots, when everyone looked at the boat-like object, they suddenly felt different.
As the fleet gets closer and closer...
When the red and white umbrella markings on the bow of the Umbrella were clearly visible... this sea monster finally revealed its full picture in front of everyone.
Facing this steel behemoth like a hill, whether it was the civilians in the transaction or the royal guards who were in charge of maintaining order, they couldn't help but put down all their work in their hands and looked foolishly. With this sea fortress...
The behemoth... the steel beast...
"Run... the monster in the sea has come out..."
I don’t just know who yelled so loudly... Suddenly, the whole market was in chaos. People who were knocked to the ground crying, those who could not find their children, and those who kept order... Various voices were mixed. Together, the market that was still lively and extraordinary just now becomes a scene like the end of the world.
Of course, not everyone was escaping, and some sensible people saw the flag of Rome flying in the fleet following the giant steel ship.
They shouted loudly: "Don't panic, this is just a Roman fleet!!"
However, their shouts seemed so small and insignificant among the chaotic crowd...
After all, people have a blind herd mentality. Seeing others running, if they don’t run, it seems something is wrong...
Just a few breaths away... The Alexandria Port, which was still lively just now, only had two or three kittens left.
All kinds of goods were thrown away everywhere...There were more than a dozen unlucky people who were pushed by someone while escaping...They were moaning...wheezing...
When Zhou Ye walked off the Umbrella, what he saw was 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.
"Everything must make way for you wherever you pass, under the crown!!" Marcus standing behind Zhou Ye said respectfully.
"Haha... I'm not that domineering..." Zhou Ye smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I'm still very interested in the market here..."
"Those common people were scared by your [God's Seat] power..."
"..." Hearing what Marcus said, Zhou Ye was speechless... But then again, in this era, the Umbrella is really easy to scare people.
At this moment, in the palace not far away, thousands of Egyptian soldiers gushed out like a tide. They were fully armed and armed with weapons, and surrounded the entire port regiment, headed by a middle-aged man in general armor. The man shouted: "I wonder why the nobles of Rome came from? Is it war or peace?"
And Marcus didn’t care about such shouts... For him, the other party had put on this defensive position, and that was a provocation to his own crown... Just walked down behind him when he planned to order. When the soldiers of the ship lined up... they were stopped by Zhou Ye.

"Don't worry... we don't need to use force now..." Zhou Ye said, patted Marcus on the shoulder... "Tell them that we are here to reconcile the internal contradictions of the Ptolemy dynasty!"
"Yes, under the crown!!"
Although Marcus felt that the Egyptian Ptolemy royal family's posture was a bit provocative, but since he said it under his crown, he could only obey the order.
"I am the Archon of Rome-Marcus... We are here to reconcile the internal contradictions of the Ptolemaic dynasty!!!" Marcus shouted.
