The next day, the entire population of the city almost crashed into Alexander's camp.
They came hearing the announcement- seeking food, medicine and to meet their loved ones who had been conscripted by Amenheraft.
But although a bit overwhelmed, fortunately, the population of the entire city seemed rather small, less than forty thousand, and so Alexander's armed men had no problem keeping order.
They had gained rich experience hosting the temple feast twice and were very adept at making mobs follow instructions.
And under their directions, the mob was made to line up in queues and the hungry were given food, the sick were quarantined in a separate part of the camp and the slaves were allowed to meet their loved ones.
An interesting thing of note was that the crowd was almost entirely devoid of any strong males, consisting only of women, children, and the infirm.
Amenheraft and Muazz had bled the city and the province dry.
