Capítulo 54: Chapter 53 Heavy Casualties
When Major Rowan rushed out of the tent, the entire camp was in chaos. The overturned campfire had ignited the tent. The screams of the attacked soldiers from time to time made the entire camp in chaos. The panicked soldiers grabbed their guns in dishevel and fired randomly, not caring whether they hit the target or not.
"What happened?" Major Rowan grabbed his orderly and asked him.
"Report to the major, we were attacked!" The orderly answered his question, although the answer was still nonsense.
"I know we were attacked! Who! From where?" Major Rowan pushed his orderly away, took out his pistol and shouted to the orderly: "Go find William and ask him to gather the troops! Ask him to send people to protect the horses and supplies! I will go to calm them down."
After that, he ran towards a group of panicked soldiers, loudly rebuked them for their panic, and tried to reorganize these panicked soldiers.
Relying on the dignity of an officer, Major Ron's efforts achieved certain results. He quickly gathered a small group of soldiers who were not directly attacked but were just frightened. After organizing them, he drove towards the chaotic area outside the camp, intending to subdue those panicked guys and the enemies who attacked the camp.
At this time, other officers in the camp were doing the same thing. Although they were also a little confused about the situation, they tried to gather their soldiers and organize them to fight against the attackers. The
officers' efforts soon achieved certain results. After all, there was only one regiment of soldiers. Relying on the organization of several officers, they quickly gathered together and began to effectively fight against the enemies who attacked at night.
However, just when the officers thought that this could resist the enemies who attacked at night and repel them, their practice of gathering soldiers made themselves conspicuous.
The attackers quickly targeted these officers and attacked them.
"Fire!" "Ah! Help!"
As a shadow passed by, a huge tear suddenly appeared on the neck of an officer, causing him to scream. At the same time, it instantly destroyed the morale and composure of the soldiers who had just recovered a little, and plunged them into panic again.
The officer was killed, the troops were attacked at night, and the huge fear devoured the reason of these soldiers. They began to raise their rifles and shoot randomly, regardless of whether they were aiming at the enemy or their companions.
"Damn it! Stop! Stop!" Major Ron kept blowing the whistle he usually used to command the troops, but the soldiers who were already in great fear could not obey his order to stop.
In the chaos, Major Ron had to take the soldiers gathered around him and use suppression methods to calm down the other soldiers.
However, at this moment, a stray bullet hit his shoulder and made him fall down.
Now, the camp has completely lost the last possibility of restoring order, and a greater riot has completely swept the camp.

Because of the need to cooperate with the British attack, the Pharaoh Guard's camp has also moved to the vicinity of Cairo, making final preparations before the attack.
"Bad news, the British were attacked, the infantry regiment suffered heavy casualties and has lost its combat effectiveness." O'Connor walked into the tent and told a piece of news that no one wanted to hear.
"This is so unfortunate..." Evelyn couldn't help but mutter, someone died, which was always an unfortunate thing for her.
Although everyone did not sympathize with the British being attacked, without the British reinforcements, the Pharaoh Guard alone could not attack Cairo, which undoubtedly made everyone's faces even uglier.
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, O'Connor quickly added: "But the British are really angry this time. They have mobilized three infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment and an artillery regiment. They are currently heading towards Cairo. They probably want to have a good fight."
Hearing this, everyone's faces looked better, but Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Although I am glad that the British are serious this time, I am afraid we don't have time to wait for them."
"What? Why?" O'Connor looked at Chen Mo in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
"I asked Ada to go to Cairo before, and she told me that Imhotun is preparing a grand ceremony. Obviously, this ceremony is not prepared for the resurrection of Ansuna." Chen Mo explained to O'Connor helplessly, and also specifically stated: "Sekhmet is the god of war. Any war is a sacrifice to her. If we cannot enter Cairo in time and stop this ceremony, it is very likely that we will face God next."
"Uh, does that mean we have to attack immediately?" When O'Connor heard Chen Mo say this, the expression on his face suddenly fell, but he quickly became serious: "Is there anything I can do to help? Although I can't gather a large force, I still know some people, and I can probably get a few people to help!"
Chen Mo thought about it, still shook his head and said: "Ada has found some friends to help. I plan to organize a team to sneak into the city and find a way to steal the key that can open the Golden Sutra of the Sun, and then use the Golden Sutra of the Sun to end it all.
You'd better launch an attack outside the city and attract Imhotep's attention, so that you can relieve some pressure on me."
Seeing that Chen Mo wanted to sneak into Cairo, O'Connor hurriedly wanted to object. In his opinion, Chen Mo was just a scholar and had no combat power. Sneaking into Cairo at this time was simply suicide.
However, Chen Mo stopped O'Connor and explained to him: "None of you know magic. You may be good at dealing with ordinary people, but you still need to use magic to deal with Imhotep. So I am the main force against him, and I must go."
"If that's the case, I should go too. Mr. Chen Mo, you don't understand ancient Egyptian writing. Even if you open the Golden Book of the Sun, you still need someone to tell you what is written on it, right?" Evelyn also stood up and said that she wanted to go with us.
Seeing Evelyn's initiative, Chen Mo still shook his head and refused: "The curator will go with us. He is also proficient in ancient Egyptian writing, isn't he?"
Chen Mo didn't want to bring Evelyn with him. Although he thought she had the aura of a protagonist, she was also very reckless and prone to getting into trouble.
"Okay, here's the plan. Ada, her friends, and the curator will sneak into Cairo through the sewers. O'Connor, you and Adebe will be responsible for getting the Pharaoh's Guard and the British Army to attack as soon as possible to attract Immorton's attention and create opportunities for our actions." Chen Mo stopped the others from talking and directly finalized the plan for this operation.
