Chapter 13

Spartan forces were on high alert 2 days after there victory over the Persians had been very good for them as all the Satraps had died on the battlefield all of Anatolia was now under the rule of Sparta which had caused her to spread her forces to control the region now a ship bearing no banner of any nation had docked it was only when the troops disembarked did they realises these troops were Egyptian and Egypt was a Provence of Persia.

Kassandra stood with her men ready to repel this counterattack only to watch in shock as the Egyptian warriors bowed chanting "Hail the champion of the Gods hail the Immortal Queen"

Those words confirmed the many rumours' that had spread across the Greek world that Kassandra was indeed blessed by the gods with Immortality its why she had not married or produced an Heir now it was confirmed their Queen would guide and protect their people for centuries to come.

The two Medjay walked forward towards the Queen before once again Kneeling "Great Queen in the name of General Aniu-Hotep and the Blessing of Amun-Ra we the last Of the Medjay pledge ourselves to your service".

"why would Medjay guardians of the old Pharaohs pledge their service to a Spartan Queen I wonder" Kassandra asked the two Medjay warriors the answer she received impressed her.

"Great Queen our priests had a vision of you upon the Throne of Egypt that you would liberate our lands from Persia we beg your majesty's aid and in return we will support your right to the throne of Egypt with the Medjay the rebels and the High Priest of Amun-Ra supporting you as well as your own soldiers the People of Egypt will follow you to the gates of the Persian capital if need be".

After 2 hours of talks Kassandra had agreed she would march an army of 20 thousand to Egypt once she had secured the lands between her and Egypt which ironically would not take very long the people in the area had heard of the Persian army's Defeat in Anatolia and the Spartan force marching towards Egypt Persian commanders easily surrendered or were betrayed by their own troops .

Within 2 weeks Syria was supressed leaving the pathway to Phoenicia but that was only the start word had come that even Cyprus Joined her Empire when the solders there overthrew there King and was now a province of Sparta.

Kassandra sent a small force to occupy the island and secure spartan rule there was only one real obstacle in their way of securing this region. The island city of Tyre its strategic location made it too important to ignore.

2 weeks later

Leaving the Wolf of Sparta with the majority of the army she marched her combined Spartan/Egyptian force to the city of Old-Tyre to begin the siege a siege that in one timeline would take 7 months to finish Kassandra would not wait that long.

She sent a letter to the leader of Tyre its message was simple.

To the leaders of the fortress city of Tyre

You have 7 days to surrender the island to spartan rule if you fail to do so you will fell the full wrath of Sparta the same wrath that crushed the Persians at Thermopylae and again in Anatolia

I await your response

Queen Kassandra of the Spartan Empire

On the 7th day the people of Tyre woke up confidant that the Spartans could not back up there threats only to see both of their ports under blockade by the Spartan and Cyprian Fleets which had appeared overnight.

The spartan invasion force standing on the shore waiting for the queen as she walked to the edge of the water lifting her spear in the air she yelled. "Gaia aid me now." slamming her spear into the water her eyes turned golden as the ground began to shake as from the water a large causeway made from rock breached the surface of the water connecting the Island of tyre to the mainland.

She did not stop there pointing her spear at the walls of Tyre yelled. "fury of Mount Olympus." from the sky's above a bolt of lightning struck the wall shattering them.

Turning to her men she smiled seeing the shocked and awed looks on the faces of the Egyptian solders. "Well lads let's take this city!"

The spartan/Egyptian forces charged overtaking the walls and its shocked defenders at the end of the battle the city was his she put the nobles and officers of the city to Death.

It took a month to establish a garrison and a basic ruling body before she continued her march into Gaza on the way they liberated Judea.

City of Gaza 1 month Later

4 different times the Persians had sent raids on her or raids on her main forces Under the command of the Wolf of Sparta all had been repelled it seemed the God-King was getting very worried Afterall within half a year he had lost nearly all of his territory on the Mediterranean Sea. And now only the garrison in Gaza was between the Spartans and Egypt.

The Medjay were very happy to be almost home but now instead of the original 2 she had agreed to the request and declared the surviving Egyptian warriors as new Medjay now she had 250 of them all of them Loyal to the throne of Egypt and loyal to her.

"Your majesty you have to see this" came the voice of one of her Spartan Captains leaving her tenet Cassandra made her way towards the edge of her camp to see a shocking sight the city gates were open and the spartan banner hung from the walls.

Kassandra found out later that day that her Medjay warriors to show their gratitude for being made Medjay snuck into the city at night killed the gate guards and officers before killing the governor. That day Kassandra made a promise once she took the throne of Egypt the Medjay would be restored to there full glory as the guardians of the pharaohs.

But now it was time for in 4 days the spartan Army would march into Egypt.
