"Holy! Holy Pharaoh!"
"These guys have their eyes on our Holy Egypt!"
When Nan Tong and Lin Ke left, it was already past dusk.
They left the "deserted" town, but Nan Tong stopped and looked at Lin Ke in shock.
“Your Majesty, they are all wearing masks, and we have no idea who they are!”
"How about I capture one alive and bring him before you, so he can reveal who the people under him are!"
"They intend to steal Holy Egypt's shipbuilding technology! And some of them have expressed extreme hostility towards Holy Egypt!"
"People like that should never live in this world!"
"Your Majesty, Pharaoh! Please give the order!"
After Nan Tong finished speaking, she knelt down on the ground.
Lin Ke gently helped him up and then shook his head a few times.
"useless."
“Even if we capture one of them alive, it will not help Holy Egypt at all.”
As Lin Ke spoke, she glanced in the direction they had left.
Because he could still see many people moving around in that area on the civilization panel, but he couldn't tell whether they were on the ground or underground.
But from what he could observe, no one was following them.
They are safe now.
Should, for the time being.
"Useless... But Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, they must know something about this!"
"If we leave now, these guys will still have designs on Holy Egypt!"
"What if they send assassins to threaten your safety, like the Hebrew Empire did before?"
"Such ideas must be nipped in the bud!"
Lin Ke shook her head a few more times upon hearing Nan Tong's words.
"That's not the case."
“Since the founding of Holy Egypt, we have always been watched by people; now there are just a few more pairs of eyes watching us.”
"As for your suggestion to arrest people, there is really no need for that."
"Firstly, the people there all wear masks. They can only represent the side they represent, but their true identities beneath the masks are unknown to anyone."
"Simply put, even if we arrest one of their people, we won't be able to obtain any useful information."
"Secondly, that would only alert them. Obviously, each of their masks represents something, and if one of them is missing, it will immediately arouse their vigilance."
Lin Ke paused here.
He took a deep breath.
"Most importantly, they have actually united the leaders of many small civilizations."
"Therefore, when we went to visit today, some leaders tentatively inquired about my position."
"After learning that I had not received an 'invitation' from their faction, they immediately changed their attitude towards me, which makes perfect sense."
"The only thing that's unclear now is what kind of proposal they're going to put forward that would require them to win over so many leaders of civilizations to vote on it."
"However, we will know these things tomorrow."
Lin Ke frowned slightly as she spoke.
Clearly, if he "accidentally" voices his opposition tomorrow, he will likely face a terrible retaliation.
After all, he had just heard that these guys had the ability to assassinate leaders of small civilizations.
In Lin Ke's view, such an organization probably has even more powerful elites who are loyal to it.
It is probably even more terrifying than organizations like the "Rose Order," the "Order of Light," or the "Witchcraft Society."
“But Your Majesty, this is far too disadvantageous for Holy Egypt.”
"You are not safe here. Although we have a large fleet, they are too cumbersome to provide you with timely protection."
"There are many civilizations here, and I fear that even the power of this great solar mage may not be enough to protect you!"
"As for the god of the desert and the Nile, his divine power is quite weak here..."
"In my humble opinion, you really don't need to put yourself in such danger! The civilizations here are probably all in alliance in secret; they are not as isolated and helpless as Holy Egypt!"
Of course, in Lin Ke's view, Nan Tong's concerns were quite reasonable.
This place is too far from Holy Egypt and lacks "power," so naturally it will be subject to constraints everywhere.
Even at sea, there might be threats that Lin Ke is unaware of.
Just like before, when the Supreme Ruler of the Hebrew Empire was able to summon powerful demons from hell.
There are many gods and powers that Lin Ke is unaware of.
However, despite the dangers, Lin Ke believes that the benefits of Holy Egypt participating in the World Conference still outweigh the drawbacks.
He needs more allies and more specific information about other civilizations.
At least, this would allow Holy Egypt to face future risks with ease, unlike before when it was constantly on the defensive against the Hebrew Empire.
"No, we can't leave."
"The World Conference is very important for Holy Egypt."
"If we hadn't left Holy Egypt for Delos, I'm afraid the Persian Empire would already be at war with Greece by now."
"After the war, who can know what the situation will be like? Who can guarantee that Holy Egypt will not face an even more terrifying force than Greece and Persia in the future?"
"And most importantly, we must establish connections with other civilizations and spread the name of Holy Egypt."
"Besides that, there's our proposal."
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Nan Tong frowned even more deeply, his eyes filled with worry.
"But Your Majesty, your proposal cannot be passed!"
"These guys have already gathered in secret, and they will definitely manipulate all the proposals!"
"They bribed the leaders of other civilizations and shared the spoils of victory with them."
"How could those vermin possibly agree to your proposal?"
Lin Ke merely raised the corners of her mouth slightly upon hearing Nan Tong's words.
"Who said they had to agree to my proposal?"
"All I've ever said is that I'm making proposals."
"Whether the proposal passes or not is not important. What is important is to let the world see Holy Egypt."
Nan Tong then raised his head to look at Lin Ke, his eyes filled with even deeper confusion.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
"This old minister...this old minister is foolish, please enlighten me!"
Just then, a sea breeze blew by, and the leaves of the surrounding palm trees rustled and swayed.
"What we are seeing today is merely a 'solution' under the rules of the World Conference."
"That is to achieve final victory by obtaining the number of votes."
"But what if one day, the rules of this world conference are decided by my Holy Egypt?"
"What if I said that Holy Egypt could veto all proposals?"
Nan Tong was stunned.
