Description[]
While investigating a mother' missing son in Apollonia, Bayek discovers a plan that seriously jeopardizes the future safety of Egypt.
Dialogue[]
While in Apollonia, Bayek came across a woman crying for help.
- Agatha: Please save my boy. He's not a criminal! Will no-one help my son? He's served Rome well!
Bayek approached the wailing woman.
- Agatha: Thank you for stopping, my husband was a protector like you. I have screamed myself hoarse for days. No one cares.
- Bayek: What seems to be the problem, nebet?
- Agatha: My Titus, my poor Titus. Imprisoned at the barracks for trying to leave the army.
- Bayek: He's a deserter?
- Agatha: No, a hero. He'd had enough, stood up against the Roman army and joined the rebels. Please, he's my only child and all I have left.
- Bayek: I will look into it, don't worry.
Bayek infilitrated the Apollonia Roman Barracks, finding a man held in a cage in one of the buildings.
- Titus: Let me out you dogs! Release me or execute me. I will not rot in a cell.
- Bayek: Are you Titus? Your mother sent me.
- Titus: Yes, by the gods, thank you protector, but Egypt is in danger, I must get free.
- Titus: I will not die on Roman soil.
Bayek unlocked the cage and untied Titus. He then escorted him out of the barracks to a safe location.
- Bayek: Why would the army lock up their own men?
- Titus: Papo taught me to be a fighter, but he believed in honor and justice. The Navarch of the Roman fleet at Apollonia Marcellus Asina, is planning an invasion.
- Bayek: They mean to take Egypt...
- Titus: Yes, so I deserted. I will not stay here doing Leander and Flavius' dirty work.
- Bayek: Where is the Navarch?
- Titus: On his ship. He patrols the waters between Cyrene and Apollonia. Killing him will throw the fleet into chaos.
- Bayek: Go with Iset, Titus. I will deal with the Navarch.
Bayek headed to the shore and boarded a felucca, tracking down the Navarch on his ship. After boarding the ship, he eliminated the Navarch and his men.
- Bayek: Your reckoning is between you and the gods.
Outcome[]
Bayek helped Agatha to rescue her son, learning of an plan to invade Egypt by the Navarch. Before he could do so, Bayek assassinated him.
