13 oct. 978 - Fall of Syene

Description:

October 13, 978, Raphael's army marched into southern Egypt, as they reached the city of Syene, the local leaders were completely shocked. Southern Egypt had never been attacked, the city had no defenses at all, and indeed none of southern Egypt was defended. There were small scattered garrisons, but they had never seen action. Even small bandit raids were virtually unknown in this part of Egypt. Found no possiblility to resist, the city gave up without a fight less than a day after Raphael arrived.
