Egyptian Campaign(1798-1799). Prologue.

Beside a mountain cliff, a figure, noble in stature, stood gazing at the battlefield, a tranquil shore of the ocean stretching beyond. His eyes betrayed a vacant contemplation, akin to an observer detached from the world.

Baffled, the soldier stared at the nation's mighty figure – none other than Napoleon Bonaparte.
