"Just just friendly exchanges?" Nektani Bharaoh sat down again, his eyes flashing.

Nektanib's rhetoric made Ansitanos stunned, but he heard the Pharaoh continue, "Why not form an alliance?"

Ansitanos was really stunned now. He didn't expect Nektani Bhu to speak so directly.

But Nektani Bhara was not concerned about his surprise and said seriously: "As far as I know, the citizens of Dionia are mainly Greeks. Egypt and Greece have always been friendly, and the city of Naukratis is a witness! In the past few decades, the Greeks have helped Egypt to fight against the tyrannical Persians many times. To this day, there are many tombs of Athenians outside the city of Memphis. That is the sacrifice made by the Greeks and our Egyptians to fight against Persia 70 years ago. It is necessary for us to continue this friendship!" Nektani Bharai Bhara said with a little excitement. He obviously ignored the fact that the Athenians were hired by Persia a few years ago and attacked Egypt.

It turned out that the Egyptians wanted to form an alliance with Dionyya and help them resist the Persian attack! Ansitanos was no longer surprised why Pharaoh Nektani Bhut said the alliance so urgently, although this diplomatic choice was originally in the plan of his and Davers.

But Ansitanos would never know that in Nektani Bhupharaoh's view, Persia's threat to Egypt was by no means potential, but a real real danger.

In the first half of this turbulent year, in the towns in the Nile Delta, some Egyptian officials secretly sent secret letters to the land of Canaan, which was adjacent to the eastern border of Egypt, attempting to surrender to Persia and allow them to reoccupate Egypt, including some people in the city of Memphis. Although the Persians had retreated from Egypt for more than 20 years, their disagreement and temptation against the Egyptians never stopped. Fanabazos, the Persian governor of Asia Minor, has been rebuilt warships and summoning soldiers in recent years.

Although the spies received the reward: this year, Persian Governor Fanazos was summoned by the Persian king and had led his troops to Babylon.

But Nektanib never forgot: a few years ago, the Persian governor led his army to burn, kill and loot in Egypt. Although he eventually retreated, the losses suffered were not large and he could make a comeback at any time.

If Nektanib had not proposed the slogan of "preferential treatment of monks" after the uprising (Pharaoh Hakar was restricted from having too much land and employed peasants during his ten years of reign), and was supported by the priests of Egypt's vast temples, so Nektanib's army would have been unstoppable, and even the army stationed in Memphis surrendered to him, and quickly stabilized Lower Egypt in just a few months. As for Upper Egypt, which centered on Thebes, it was still the world of the priests.

After realizing what the Pharaoh was really worried about, Ansitanos immediately said solemnly: "Although Persia is far away from our Dionia, it also has its minions in the Western Mediterranean - Carthage, a sub-state of Phoenicia, has been continuously transporting Thiel the gold and silver dug from the Iberian Peninsula for decades, thus providing the Persian king with funds for expansion and invasion, and thus becoming extremely rich.

As an emerging kingdom, we, Dionya, signed a friendly agreement with Carthage more than ten years ago with the principle of living in harmony with our neighbors. However, we did not expect that it would secretly support Dionya's surrounding forces and constantly fight Dionya. After its conspiracy was defeated one after another, the Carthaginians actually tore up the friendly agreement with our Dionya and threatened to launch a war against Dionya. Therefore, Dionya is willing to form an alliance with Egypt, help each other, and jointly resist the invasion of Persia and its subordinate forces!"

Pharaoh Nektani was surprised because this incident had just happened and he had not received any news. He knew Carthage, a powerful city-state established by the Phoenicians in the Western Mediterranean. Their merchant ships often passed through the seas of Egypt and even traded with towns along the coast of Egypt. The Egyptians even knew for a long time that some Carthage ships carried gold and silver, but they had never had the intention of intercepting them. Because the Egyptian army was not strong and the navy was even weaker. In addition to the Egyptians who did not like to sail, there was no dense forest in Egypt, which was an important reason, so the Egyptians could only make small papyrus boats. If they wanted to own large wooden warships, they could only buy them from abroad.

Therefore, Nektani Pharaoh immediately asked with concern: "I heard that Carthage is very powerful and has a strong navy. If Dionya and Carthage go to war, will you win?"

"Great Pharaoh!" Ansitanos said with a smile: "More than ten years ago, the Greek overlord of the Western Mediterranean, Syracuse defeated Carthage one after another, forcing him to sign a humiliating peace treaty. However, Syracuse, who defeated Carthage, suffered a crushing defeat when attacking our Dionia. We defeated Syracuse's powerful navy through frontal naval battles, and we defeated Syracuse's powerful army through frontal battles, and eventually turned Syracuse into an ordinary city-state on Sicily.

Now the land and population of our Kingdom of Dionys have increased several times compared to more than ten years ago. How could Carthage be our opponent? The cunning Carthaginians just saw that our Dionys suffered a drought this year and did not have enough food to supply the army, so they dared to declare war!”

Ansitanos was so emotional that he secretly revealed the difficulties that Dionia was facing now.

Nektani Bpharaoh was pondering, and the minister who had spoken to him before suddenly interrupted: "Egypt and Dionya have become alliances. If one day, Persian troops invade Egypt, will Dionya send troops and travel thousands of miles to Egypt to fight against the Persians?"

Ansitanos took a proud gesture and replied: "When we, Dionia, had just been established, and had taken the risk of destruction and declared war on powerful enemies because of the invasion of the allies. In the past 20 years of founding, most of the wars that occurred broke out because of the invasion of the allies. In order to fulfill the covenant, Dionia had to fight against powerful enemies again and again. Fortunately, they all won.

If you ask a man from the Western Mediterranean, what is the greatest strength of the Kingdom of Dionys? He will definitely tell you, ‘Dionia keeps his promises and never betrays allies!’”

"I have heard this sentence say by the Greek merchants in the city of Naukratis..." Nektani Bpharaoh spoke. When he was a general, he had heard of this rumor. After learning that the envoy of Dionys came, he became interested in forming an alliance. The Egyptian army was not strong, and it was only a few years ago that it defended the defense line with the help of more than 2,000 Greek mercenaries. The same military force was stronger and more trustworthy. A country far away from Egypt formed an alliance. He believed that Dionys was the best choice for Egypt to form an alliance.

What King Davers has always insisted on and preached has actually bloomed gorgeous flowers in the distant Egypt, which Ansitanos did not expect, but he was delighted by it.

Nektani Bharajan marked the king on the ground and said loudly: "In order to repay King Davers's generous gift, I will use hundreds of ships of wheat as a reward! Moreover, after Egypt and Dionys formed an alliance, Egypt will continue to supply grain for free to Dionys to solve the food shortage of the people of Dionys!"

Ansitanos, who had always been well-educated, could not control the joy on his face at this time.

For the pharaohs and ministers present, they did not think it was a big loss. The food was mostly made in Egypt. With the protection of the Nile River, Egypt was continuously producing abundant fruits. The vast Egyptian farmers had to hand over most of the harvest. The barns and temples in each town were filled with the harvested grains, and even became moldy because they were piled up for too long.

After finalizing the alliance, Nektani Bpharaoh also kindly invited Ansitanos to have lunch in the palace garden.

After arriving at the garden, Ansitanos widened his eyes and showed him a huge artificial lake. The lake surface was filled with smoke and waves, lotus leaves were blooming, and the lakeshore was a lush garden. Various strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts were found everywhere...

Nektani Bpharaoh took Ansitanos to eat on a huge wooden boat in the lake, eating fine wine and delicacies, talking about the past and present, and the beautiful maid danced with her...

For a moment, the host and the host will have fun.

At the same time as Dionian Foreign Minister Ansitanos arrived in Egypt, an important meeting was taking place in the town hall of Katanai, Sicily.

Participants were Prosous (Leotizides), the commander of the Eighth Legion of Dionia, Flarios, the commander of the Third Fleet Navy, the Chief Executive of Catanai, the Chief Executive of Naxos Miron, the Chief Executive of Messina, the Chief Executive of Messina, the Chief Executive of Apirosia, the Chief Executive of Hena, the Chief Executive of Krelu, and the Chief Executive of Hebita... In addition, there were two alliance city-states Leotini and Taunis involved.

Logically, all the leaders of each city are present, and the positions are not very different. Referring to King Davers's clever approach to this in many past innovations in handling government affairs, it is to implement a roundtable, so there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. However, Cyporus appeared in the venue, and Prosous was close to his left, which made the chief executives who were familiar with Cyporus' character mutter in their hearts, but even if they were a little dissatisfied, they did not appear on their faces.

Sipnos looked around everyone and said seriously: "My lords, you all know that a few days ago our First Legion had gathered north to help the Volsie and resist the Romans. If the Carthaginians fulfilled what they said when they tore up the agreement, they would soon declare war on us and send troops to Sicily. In fact, the signs sent back from Carthaginians show that the Carthaginians were indeed preparing for war! In order to understand the preparations for our Sicily, so that His Majesty and the Senate could control the overall situation of the entire war and formulate a better strategy, His Majesty sent Lord Philius of the Ministry of Military Affairs to inspect Sicily. Please welcome Lord Philius to the scene below!"

All the chief executives were stunned: Phyllissius came to Sicily, and they did not receive any notice in advance!
