Looking at the corpse below, Lin Ke was stunned.
No gods? No high-level magicians?
There was no backup plan, and even none of the things Lin Ke had anticipated happened!
Only Vikings, only Vikings!
But even so, Ramses beside Lin Ke was still alert, his head turning left and right from time to time, as if he was afraid that something he could not predict would suddenly rush out.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
At this moment, Nan Tong slowly landed beside Lin Ke. His expression was the same as Lin Ke's, a little confused.
"I sensed that the other side had a great star magician, but for some reason, they seemed to retreat immediately."
"But this old minister feels very strange."
"Why didn't these Vikings act together? They could have left on ships, but many boarded and then jumped back off to attack Matruh."
"Could it be that the enemy has some other plan?"
Lin Ke was thinking and deducing the current situation at this time. He didn't understand why some of the Vikings fled while some stayed here to attack Matruh.
This doesn't make any sense and is completely illogical!
Even if the other party wants to leave a small part here, it is to fight against the invading enemy.
But the soldiers of Holy Egypt did not launch an attack on the Vikings. The information Lin Ke observed on the city wall was that the other side was going to launch an attack on the city of Matruh.
Moreover, the attack on Matruh was launched during a sandstorm.
It's all so strange.
But just as Nan Tong finished speaking, Lin Ke had a similar idea to Nan Tong.
Could it be that these are all enemy schemes?
All they did was actually to delay time and buy time for their fleet to escape?
This explanation is somewhat reasonable.
Lin Ke looked towards the front of the city of Matruh again. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around and looked at Nan Tong.
"You're right, Nan Tong. This could also be the enemy's strategy to delay time."
"But at this moment, we know very little about these Vikings, so we must proceed with caution."
"Open the city gate and go down to find a few living people to question."
Lin Ke observed on the civilization panel that there were several red dots in front of the city of Matruh, and they could still be identified and displayed on the civilization panel, which meant that they were still alive.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"I will go down and check first. After confirming that there is no threat, I will bring the living enemy to you."
Lin Ke nodded, then he glanced at the civilization panel and retched towards Nan Tong again.
"good."
"Our Holy Egyptian navy is about to reach the Holy Egyptian maritime border."
"Nantong, if you are sure there is no threat here, open the city gates immediately and have the soldiers inside seek help from the Atlantis sea beast cavalry along the coast."
"Most of them are still alive."
The reason why Lin Ke said this was because he had observed that there were still many friendly forces' symbols quietly staying on the coastline, motionless.
Earlier, the guards in the city had already reported the situation back to Cairo, so he knew before the war that there was a problem in the waters along the coastline.
He could only immediately explain the situation to Arthas, the King of Atlantis, and ask Arthas to order the withdrawal.
However, this order came a little late, which resulted in the deaths of many Atlantis sea beast cavalrymen.
Of course, Lin Ke also sent a lot of gold coins and food, as well as some special items of Holy Egypt to Arthas to express his apology.
After all, it was the people of Holy Egypt who caused this consequence, and as the highest authority of the Holy Pharaoh, Lin Ke naturally needed to pay compensation.
"As you command, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
Nan Tong responded to Lin Ke, then landed in front of the city of Matruh and began to examine the bodies of the Vikings.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, why can't I sense anything unusual?"
"Could it be that their 'divine messenger' has already left with the retreating army?"
Ramses seemed to have some doubts about this. After all, he had been alert for a long time but couldn't find anything unusual.
At first, he even suspected that the other party had some higher-level power that he could not sense.
After all, as the god of the desert and the Nile River in Holy Egypt, he had seen too many powerful gods and abnormal beings while following Lin Ke.
So even Ramses, a god, has become a little cautious now.
“I don’t know.”
When Lin Ke heard what Ramses said, he shook his head.
"Perhaps they have evacuated. Perhaps, they simply don't have a 'Divine Envoy' at all."
"It's also possible that they didn't anticipate my presence, and therefore didn't bring along the 'divine messenger'."
"But again, we know very little about the enemy, so it's better to be cautious."
After hearing Lin Ke's words, Ramses just nodded slightly.
Just then, news came from Nan Tong below.
That means there are no more threats around the city of Matruh.
So, Lin Ke ordered people to open the city gates, and the soldiers in the city immediately rushed to the coast. All the "corpses" floating on the water were salvaged.
Sure enough, there were many breathing Atlantis soldiers among them.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, it's just as you expected! Many sea beast cavalry are still alive!"
"We'll take them back to the city for treatment!"
The Holy Egyptian army that was on standby outside Alexandria has also arrived here, and the area outside the city of Matruh seems extremely busy.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, it's a good thing you have the sea beast cavalry of our allies."
"Otherwise, some people's injuries will continue to worsen, and I'm afraid the death toll will increase further."
After hearing this, Lin Ke just nodded slightly.
After all, these sea beast cavalry are the elite of Atlantis, and he must save as many as possible.
That is King Arthas's ace army.
If these sea beast cavalrymen died at the hands of the enemy, Arthas would certainly be able to accept it.
But now, if they were to suffer unnecessary deaths and injuries due to the stupidity of Lord Matru, that would be another matter.
"The crimes committed by the lord of Matruh are too numerous to list."
"His act of dumping the potion into the sea brought disaster to our allies and put the city of Matruh in danger."
"Furthermore, this has led to a sharp decline in fish populations along the coastline. It's truly a heinous crime!"
Ramses then added calmly, "His soul will be devoured by Amit."
"His heart will be weighed by the god of death."
Anubis at Lin Ke's feet nodded his skeletal head up and down.
