2 days ago, word spread down from the villages in the lower Kingdom that the Medjay had returned in greater numbers than before leading an army of men in Crimson cloaks lead by the Lioness of Thermopylae herself the Medjay had declared her the rightful Queen of Egypt.

This of course spelt doom for a certain Persian Noble who for months now had been struggling to maintain his Grip on power now found it Impossible to control anything outside Memphis even that was a struggle.

The Rebels on the other hand cheered as they saw the Spartan Queen and her Red Legions as the Locals took to Calling her troops much to her amusement, she saw General Hotep and his men bow to her.

"Great Queen of Sparta I welcome you to Egypt word of your arrival has spread throughout the Upper and Lower Kingdoms we are getting Reports of Unrest all over Egypt"

Dropping down from her horse she nodded to him. "Very good General this will work to are advantage the Satrap will be powerless to stop our advance until it is far to late for him to do anything about it".

Kassandra looked at the islands that made up the Nile Delta a small village called Rhacotis currently stood here but Kassandra had other ideas of a grand city that overlooked the great sea to the North and the Lake Mareotis a grand city that would serve as the capital of her Egypt the city of Kassandria.

But that would have to wait she had a Nation to conquer tomorrow she would march her army to the town of Yuma from there her army would fortify its position while she went with a smaller unit to liberate the Oasis of Siwa from Persia.

Night had fallen over the settlement the Persian solders stayed mostly in the temple of Amun or their military Camps in fear of the population for the Oracle of Amun had been given a vison that told of the Spartan Queen sitting on the throne of Egypt only for said Queen marching into Egypt a week later.

They had no idea that she was marching towards them with a division spartans and Medjay the Medjay however had been sent into the city first with orders to burn the two Persian camps once the smoke could bee seen the spartans would storm the settlement an retake the Temple of Amun.

General Soheil Pasdar was sleeping in his chambers that once belonged to the High Priest of Amun-Ra when the sounds of fighting awoke him from his slumber a solder that was on guard burst his door open.

"General were under attack by Spartan forces the Queen herself is with them"

Grabbing his blade, he ran to the walls to see a horrifying Sight his two military camps in flames what he assumed to be Medjay cutting down his men who survived the infernos but heading down the town's main road cutting down his men was the Spartan Phalanx led by the Queen herself.

Turing to run he was stopped by the Oracle herself a smile on her face as she looked at the Persian General. "I warned you this would Happen General now the final part of my warning will come true death will come for you by Egyptian arrow".

The General never got to respond as an arrow pierced his neck from behind as he struggled for breath the Oracle placed a hand on his chest. "Long live the Immortal Queen". With those words she pushed him from the walls just as spartan forces entered the temple Complex.

By morning all of Siwa and the surrounding area had been secured Kassandra kneeled before the oracle as she communed with the Gods raising her arms to the air she spoke loudly for the population to Here. "your cause is just Queen of Sparta our gods bless you just as your own gods do you will sit on the throne of the Two Kingdoms Immortal Queen now you must march on the capital but worry not for the Gods are with you2".

"My Queen are you sure this is a good investment with the war in the east currently ongoing" suggest an advisor much to her annoyance when Kassandra left for Persia she had left Gorgo as regent of Greece until she returned so she decided to increase the size of the capital to make it a city truly worthy of being the Capital of her Daughters Empire .
