"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Do you want to wait any longer? Why don't you return to Marsa Matruh and rest first?"
"It's getting late, the sun is about to set."
"I, this old minister, can continue to wait here for you."
Nan Tong came to Lin Ke at this time and bowed to him again.
This was not the first time he came to persuade Lin Ke to return to the city of Matruh to rest.
But Lin Ke still made the same action as before, he just raised his hand slightly again.
"It's okay."
"You should go back to the city first, Nan Tong."
"By the way, how are our sea beast cavalry friends doing?"
However, this time, Lin Ke turned around and asked about the Atlantis warriors.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, most of the sea beast cavalry have now awakened. However, they may need to rest in Matruh for a day to recover."
Lin Ke listened to Nan Tong's words and nodded slightly.
"That's good. Make sure to take good care of our friends."
"Our allies suffered heavy losses in this battle to defend the Holy Egyptian coast. We must ensure that we supply them with the best food."
Of course, in the city of Matruh, which Lin Ke could not see at the moment, the Atlantis soldiers were already eating bread and drinking honey and milk with their eyes wide open.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have already made all the arrangements."
"It's just that you've been here for a long time. The smell here is terrible. It damages your holy body and pollutes your noble nasal cavity!"
Nan Tong knelt on the ground as he spoke.
Of course, it is not surprising that Nan Tong behaved like this. After all, at this moment, an inexplicable disgusting smell was spreading on the coast of Holy Egypt.
There was the lingering stench of dead fish and the smell of human corpses, a smell like rotten eggs.
Beyond that, there's seawater.
The drugged beach was emitting a slightly sour smell.
In general, as long as Lin Ke, the supreme leader of Holy Egypt, remains here, the Holy Egyptian soldiers and commanders in the city of Matru, as well as Nan Tong and Ramses will feel uneasy.
So when Nan Tong came again this time, he finally knelt on the ground.
"It's okay, Nan Tong."
"Besides, our Holy Egyptian navy is already on its way back."
Lin Ke had already observed the results of this battle through the civilization panel.
All the Viking longships that attacked the Quadriga were destroyed. Simply put, the Holy Egyptian navy won a great victory this time.
Of course, those [Viking longships] eventually approached a [quadricar], so the price paid by the Holy Egyptian Navy was a [quadricar].
After hearing Lin Ke's words, Nan Tong was stunned for a moment, and then his head, which was originally lying on the ground, began to slowly rise.
"Your Majesty... Holy Pharaoh?"
"Our navy is already on the way back?"
Nan Tong didn't know what was happening in the distance. When he looked towards the sea level, he found nothing.
It was almost the same as when they first arrived in Marsa Matruh.
However, Nan Tong was naturally very clear about this. He knew that his Holy Pharaoh could always know and understand things that he could not see or know.
"That's right."
"Return in triumph."
"What you need to do is to go to Matruh immediately and tell all the people of Matruh the news of our great victory in Holy Egypt."
"I'm afraid the people of Matruh have lost some of their trust in Holy Egypt. We must use Matruh as an example to make our stance clear to other border cities."
"Besides that, we will show the citizens of Matruh the powerful naval force of Holy Egypt and let them spread what they have seen and heard."
"In this way, all border cities will understand that they will be protected by Holy Egypt and will no longer be just a target on the border that can be plundered or attacked by the enemy at any time."
Lin Ke naturally had his considerations for saying this.
In his opinion, the main reason why Holy Egypt was targeted by the Vikings and became a target of plunder was that its navy was weak.
If Holy Egypt had a strong and victorious navy, it would be able to keep these threats out of the country and protect its homeland from invasion by maritime powers.
When Nan Tong heard this, his eyes widened slightly.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is truly far-sighted!"
"Now we have defeated the Vikings and captured the lord of Matruh alive!"
"Our navy will become famous and renowned, which is really killing two birds with one stone!"
Lin Ke just shook his head at this time.
"more than."
"This victory at sea is of great significance to Holy Egypt."
"In addition to what I just said, the most important thing is that we can still ensure the safety of our own merchant fleet."
"There are also fleets heading to Holy Egypt to conduct maritime trade with us."
"Just think about it, what does it mean if our navy controls these waterways and sea areas in the Mediterranean?"
Nan Tong listened to Lin Ke's words, just widened his eyes and shook his head slightly.
"Old minister, I do not understand. Your Majesty, please explain clearly!"
Lin Ke continued to look into the distance.
"That means we can get management rights."
"We now have the final say in this sea area."
"If any caravan or army from another country wants to pass through this sea area, they must first obtain our consent."
"In other words, we have taken the initiative in the Mediterranean Sea from now on."
"This is a strategic initiative that determines where, when and how we can choose to treat anyone who appears in these waters."
When he said this, Lin Ke took a deep breath. Even Ramses was listening attentively, his eyes just staring at Lin Ke.
"In the past, our Holy Egypt's trade routes were very fragile. Take the recent Viking invasion for example. They had barely entered the Mediterranean before all the caravans immediately left our coastline."
"Not only that, fishing boats from other countries can also come to our Holy Egypt's waters to fish."
"It can even directly threaten the maritime caravans that have cooperative relationships with us."
"Today, we have finally moved on from the past."
"We finally have the power to defend our interests."
Nan Tong nodded slightly. Lin Ke's words were more than just incomprehensible to Nan Tong.
Even Ramses felt that Lin Ke's views were very advanced.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is far-sighted and foresighted. I truly admire him!"
