Pope Miltiades IV looked on his army with confidence.
The Siege of Alexandria was proceeding smoothly. For 2 and a half weeks, Papal forces have been bombarding this ancient city. The defenders had made three attempts to break the siege & relieve the city, but had been beaten my Miltiades tactical genius each time. The city was close to surrendering; only a little extra weight was needed to tip the scales in the Popes favor.
That weight came in the form of the Papal Navy. Cannons belched smoke & flame as the ship's fired from a line a dozen across & three deep. The citys crumbling defenses could take no more; they fell, & Papal troops swarmed into the city, capturing the Governor when he attempted to flee.
Miltiades IV confidently strolled over to the Governor. Do you see the damage following that false prophet has caused you, hmm? Well, fret not, for we are all Children of God. And at times, children need to be disciplined, lest they stray from the path of righteousness. But you shall get another chance. You all shall. Convert to Catholicism, & acknowledge me as the Pope. Beg for the forgiveness of the Almighty God, and you shall receive it.
In that instant, the Governor of Alexandria saw the truth. He begged forgiveness & converted on the spot. He begged the Pope to save his people, and, being a benevolent Pope, Miltiades granted him his request. Missonaries went from door to door, preached in the square, gave all within Alexandria knowledge of Biblical Truths. Within a week, nearly the entire city had accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior.
Ten days passed, and the Popes armies marched from the city, into the barren desert. The newly Catholic citizens of the city were sorry to see those who had put them on the righteous path go, but they knew that there was a whole world out there, a world in desperate need of Jesus, and so they made no complaints.
Pope Miltiades IV rode to the head of the column, accompanied by his elite Swiss Guards and called out to his men, March on, faithful followers of Christ. We must liberate all of Egypt from the oppression of the Muslims. March on, to Cairo!
