MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 205 goddess of the lake
Chapter 205 The Goddess of the Lake
"Call together a team of elite soldiers and act according to the truth!" Zhang Beichen ordered.
"Yes! Your Excellency!" The ship immediately mobilized a team of elite soldiers, and followed Zhang Beichen to rush to the location to intercept Cleopatra.
…
Cleopatra had to disguise her identity because of Crotis's arrest. She wanted to ask to see Caesar but there was no way.
After Caesar killed Pompey, his power in Rome had almost reached its peak, and there was an endless stream of people who came to cling to him, and ordinary people couldn't see him at all.
Cleopatra had to let his cronies pretend to be businessmen, claiming that there was a peerless treasure to be dedicated to Caesar.
"Peerless treasure?" Caesar was still moved and allowed the merchant to meet.
In Caesar's temporary palace, a businessman came to see him.
"Where is your treasure? Let me see, if it is not as precious as you describe, I will hang you!" Caesar said.
"Dear Consul, please rest assured, its preciousness is absolutely rare in the world, no, it should be unique in the world!" The businessman said respectfully.
The merchant asked his servants to carry the treasure up. Caesar saw two servants carrying a large rolled blanket into the room.
He immediately frowned and asked, "The peerless treasure you mentioned is just a blanket?"
Caesar was very annoyed, and he alarmed his majestic Roman consul for a blanket. This businessman doesn't want to live!
"Don't worry, my lord, please look!" The businessman said quickly.
The servant stood the blanket on the ground, and then slowly opened it.
Caesar stared at the blanket, and saw that as the blanket unfolded, a young girl slowly appeared in front of his eyes.
With a perfect face like the goddess Venus, a sculptural figure, a white robe, and a delicate crown on her head, it seems that Venus has really come to the world!
Caesar, who has seen countless beauties, stared straight at him. There are such beautiful women in the world!
He had forgotten to be harsh on the merchant, and both the merchant and the servant left wisely.
Caesar stood up and couldn't help asking: "Are you a goddess?"
Cleopatra was a little afraid of Caesar, but she still had the courage to say: "Dear Consul, I am the daughter of Ptolemy XII, Cleopatra."
"So you are the most beautiful woman in the Ptolemaic Dynasty!" Caesar had heard the rumors about her, and he exclaimed, "You really deserve your reputation!"
"Then why did you come to see me?" Caesar had calmed down at this time, and Cleopatra must have something important to ask him to see him in this way.
Since this is the case, he has a way to handle the opponent.
Cleopatra immediately said: "Master Consul, I want you to uphold justice! My father, Pharaoh Auret, passed on the throne to me and my younger brother, Clotis."
"But Crotis violated the will of his father, took away my throne, and ordered to hunt me down!"
"Do you want me to help you become Ptolemy's pharaoh?" Caesar shook his head and said, "Crotis has helped me a lot, killing my enemy Pompey, I will not harm him!"
"My lord, you just need to let him carry out my father's will and let me share the throne with him!" Cleopatra said.
Caesar smiled slightly and said: "It is not difficult for me. However, there is no free throne in this world. You must show equivalent sincerity!"
After finishing speaking, he did not hide his greed at all, and looked Cleopatra up and down.
If such a human goddess can't become his wife and concubine, what's the point?
"I am willing to give half of the gold and treasures of the Ptolemaic dynasty!" Cleopatra said hastily.
"Do you think I, Caesar, lack gold and treasure?" Caesar asked back.
Cleopatra was silent. She actually knew what Caesar wanted, but she was not reconciled.
Here, everyone adores Caesar, and countless girls hope that they can be favored by Caesar and become his princess!
Before, Cleopatra also heard of Caesar's name and thought he was an omnipotent hero.
But when she got in touch with Zhang Beichen, she found that the man full of wisdom and mystery seemed to be more attractive to her.
"It seems that you are not fully prepared." Caesar is not in a hurry. The more beautiful things are, the more patient they are. If it is an ordinary woman, he will not care about these at all.
But Cleopatra was so beautiful that he was willing to wait.
"My army will stay here for three days, I hope you can figure it out within these three days." Caesar ordered the servant, "Arrange a place for this beautiful lady."
"yes!"
Cleopatra returned to the tent, and his cronies asked Caesar for his opinion.
After learning what happened, the cronies all understood what Caesar meant.
They persuaded immediately: "If you can become Caesar's princess, Clotis will never dare to offend you! You will become the real queen of the Ptolemy dynasty!"
"Caesar is the most powerful man in Rome, you and him are a match made in heaven!"
"Queen, please strengthen our confidence in following you!"
"You go down first, I'm tired and need to rest." Cleopatra dismissed them.
The cronies had no choice but to step down.
Cleopatra knew very well that if she couldn't get Caesar's help, these cronies would turn around and betray her!
The reason why they still follow themselves is that they hope that they can become female pharaohs and let them gain glory and wealth! If all this is unavailable, who will be loyal to her?
As for Caesar, Cleopatra also understood that he seemed to let herself make a choice, but in fact she did not have the power to choose.
Caesar wanted to get her, but he just wanted to look better in name.
Cleopatra tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night.
It was already late at night, and Cleopatra couldn't sleep, so she left the tent to relax by the small lake.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the lake, sparkling.
Cleopatra looked at the moon and sang a ballad with a melodious but somewhat sad voice.
"If I can only abandon the one I love and become a puppet queen in my life, then I would rather leave this world!" Cleopatra walked barefoot towards the lake.
She didn't mind the cold lake water flooding her feet, then her legs, her waist, and her neck.
Her hair is floating on the lake, about to sink to the bottom of the lake!
Right at this moment, a voice rang in her ear, "Patra, are you going to learn how to dive?"
Cleopatra opened her eyes wide, and she saw, under the moonlight, above the lake, a man was standing on the waves, looking at her with a smile.
"Zhang Beichen?" Cleopatra couldn't believe her eyes, "Is this my hallucination? It is said that hallucinations will occur when you die..."
"Is this an illusion?" Zhang Beichen took a step forward and stretched out his hand. Cleopatra was pulled by spiritual power and flew out of the water.
"It's really you!" Cleopatra was overwhelmed with surprise. For a moment, she burst into tears!
At this time, she was only wearing a white shirt, soaked by the lake water, looming, as if hiding the most beautiful thing in the world!
She has long hair and shawls, water droplets lie down along the hair, flow through the crystal earlobes, swan-like neck, and enter the deep mountain ravine, the beauty is incredible!
"Zhang Beichen!" Cleopatra ran up to Zhang Beichen, and kissed him passionately!
Zhang Beichen didn't refuse, he put his arms around her slender waist tightly and kissed her until she could hardly breathe!
Zhang Beichen used spiritual power to form an enchantment, so that people around him could not detect everything here.
Cleopatra was a little crazy, almost desperate.
【You have completed the ancient and sacred ceremony in the lake. 】
…
"Zhang Beichen, what should we do now?" Cleopatra snuggled into Zhang Beichen's arms and asked.
"go back!"
"Where are you going?" Cleopatra looked at him with bright eyes.
"Go back to the palace, the place of pharaoh should belong to you!" Zhang Beichen said.
"But, Roman soldiers are guarding me..." Cleopatra hesitated. In the eyes of the Ptolemys, the Roman army was invincible and invincible!
"Look at me!" Zhang Beichen signaled.
Soon, there was a riot in the Roman army. It seemed that there was a fire somewhere, and the soldiers hurried over to put out the fire.
"Let's go!" Zhang Beichen hugged Cleopatra, wanting to leave here.
"My cronies... If I want to return to the palace, I need them to help me." Cleopatra said.
"Let them run away, life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." Zhang Beichen said, and he asked his subordinates to inform those people to escape.
…
"What's going on?" Caesar was fast asleep, with several young girls beside him. After meeting Cleopatra, he was very itchy, and he couldn't help calming down at night.
"My lord, the barracks is on fire! Some riots have been caused!" The subordinates reported.
"Fire?" Caesar frowned slightly, and said, "How is the situation now?"
"The soldiers went over to fight the fire. This place is next to the lake, so it should be able to fight it soon!"
"Go, see Cleopatra, don't let anything happen to her!" Caesar ordered.
"Yes!" The subordinate hurried out.
After a while, he hurried back to report: "My lord, Cleopatra is gone!"
"What? You can't stand a big living person?" Caesar said angrily.
"The soldiers guarding her were all stunned or killed!"
"Quick, go find her, and get her back!" Caesar shouted.
This woman must be his! He is the Roman consul, the most powerful man in the land! The woman he likes must be obtained!
Roman soldiers searched all night but failed to find Cleopatra, but caught several of her cronies.
Caesar interrogates his cronies, "Where did Cleopatra go?"
"My lord, we don't know either! She didn't inform us!" The confidant begged for mercy.
"Hit me!" Caesar rewarded them with a whip, and then drew his sword to the neck of one of them, asking, "If your answer doesn't satisfy me, your head will fall to the ground!"
The man quickly replied: "My lord, although I don't know where she fled to. But Cleopatra has a mysterious oriental friend, maybe he took Cleopatra away!"
"Mysterious Eastern friend? Who?" Caesar asked.
When the confidant briefly explained the matter, Caesar was even more unconvinced, "You said, he came from an eastern country called Daqi. This country is as powerful as Rome? Can it build ships as majestic as castles? Are you trying to fool me? "
"No, no, my lord, what I said is true! Their ship is parked by the sea. Clotis did not hesitate to murder him in order to get his sea ship, but it failed."
Caesar didn't kill him, because he saw that these people said the same thing, and they looked terrified, so they didn't seem to be lying.
"If there is such a fleet, it can only belong to me, Caesar!"
"An Easterner dares to **** my woman, let him have a taste of the Roman cavalry!"
Caesar immediately ordered to find Daqi's fleet.
…
After taking Cleopatra away, Zhang Beichen returned to the ship directly.
"My lord, everything is ready!" The scout sent to reconnaissance intelligence has returned to the ship.
"Okay, order, let's go!" Zhang Beichen ordered.
"Zhang Beichen, what are we going to do now?" Cleopatra asked.
"Of course to attack Clotis and help you regain the throne!" Zhang Beichen said as a matter of course.
"However, you only have 30,000 people, and Clotis has hundreds of thousands of troops!" Cleopatra hurriedly persuaded, "Don't be impulsive now!"
"Don't worry, our 30,000 people are enough to destroy his army!" Zhang Beichen said.
According to the intelligence sent by the scouts, at this time, the Ptolemaic army recruited soldiers from nobles, not civilians, but slaves!
These slaves can’t get enough to eat, let alone combat training!
The soldiers of Daqi can't eat enough, and they still have meat every day. They all know how to practice, understand the art of war, have advanced weapons, and their combat effectiveness is not at the same level!
Cleopatra is still worried. In her opinion, the difference in the number of armies between the two sides is too great!
【The fleet arrived at the port of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, where Crotis deployed tens of thousands of heavy troops to guard it. 】
At sea, Ptolemy's small warships were no match for the big Qi treasure ship at all, they were sunk directly, hit and sank!
"Fire!" The fleet came to the port, Zhang Beichen asked all the ships to fire together, quickly defeated the defense of the port, and then proceeded to land operations.
Cleopatra was watching the battle on the boat. He saw Daqi's soldiers rushing into the port, and Crotis' soldiers were slaughtered in front of them like chickens and sheep, without any power to fight back!
There are even some powerful Daqi soldiers chasing dozens of people alone!
"Oh my God, why are they so powerful?" Cleopatra was amazed.
【Your soldiers successfully captured the port, and Cleopatra took her cronies together to recruit surrendered soldiers and nobles. 】
【You bring your soldiers and continue to attack the capital of Ptolemy. 】
…
"Cleopatra really got involved with those Easterners! This king should have killed her in the first place!" Clotis was furious when he heard the news of Daqi's soldiers attacking, and immediately began to mobilize the army.
"If they were at sea, this king really has nothing to do with them. Since they voluntarily went ashore to die, then this king will kill them all and seize their treasure ship!"
