"Your Majesty, Pharaoh, what do you see...?"
"If you support Spain, you will inevitably offend those civilized leaders who advocate for Spain to stop its aggression."
"If you oppose Spain, you will anger King Philip, who is already on the verge of exploding, and you will also anger some leaders of civilization."
"No matter what you choose, it will not be an easy matter for us in Holy Egypt."
At this point, Nan Tong paused, took a deep breath, and seemed to find it difficult even to speak.
"And...and look at the King of Spain, he's clearly not going to let this go."
"He was even prepared to leave the World Conference immediately."
“If we become his enemy, we will likely encounter difficulties in many places in the future. After all, the group of leaders behind him is a much larger and more powerful alliance than the Holy Egyptian Alliance.”
"But if we stand on the opposite side of the peace camp, how can we gain a foothold at the world conference?"
"This choice is just too difficult..."
Nan Tong's voice grew softer and softer, but not far away, in the center of the World Conference venue, the leaders' voices arguing with each other did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, they grew louder and louder.
Moreover, half of the civilization leaders have already expressed their opinions.
Even the Inca king had arrived behind Pericles.
The same applies to the tribal kings of Mali, and it won't be long before it's the turn of those leaders who haven't yet voted.
In other words, Lin Ke and Saint Egypt don't have much time left to choose.
Lin Ke had to make a choice, but no matter what choice she made, it seemed that it would do more harm than good for Holy Egypt.
After all, this has deviated from Lin Ke's original intention to attend the World Conference. Nan Tong, as Lin Ke's personal archmage, is naturally very clear that even though the Holy Pharaoh he serves is wise and powerful, he will still be bound by the current situation of the World Conference.
No leader can escape this situation unscathed; any leader at a world conference must confront and make choices.
"Your Majesty, our situation is... far too difficult!"
"It's like a gamble that you have to gamble on, and the stakes are your future!"
"Whichever side you bet on, you will make enemies and damage the prestige of Holy Egypt!"
He raised his head slightly, looked at Lin Ke's still calm face, and spoke in a very devout tone, yet full of confusion.
“Your Majesty, I know you must already have a solution, but... but the situation is just too perilous. Even I, an old man, can't see the future of Holy Egypt.”
“Holy Egypt, our Holy Egypt... is probably destined to make enemies in this world today.”
At this point, Nan Tong's voice began to choke up.
He recalled how, many years ago, when Holy Egypt was still in decline, they carefully survived between powerful nations.
Let alone facing so many powerful civilizations, even the Hebrew civilization alone would have been difficult for Holy Egypt to deal with.
Everything changed after Lin Ke became the Holy Pharaoh.
Now that they have finally made it onto the world stage, they are faced with such a difficult choice.
Nan Tong looked at Lin Ke, but Lin Ke's expression remained unchanged.
He remained as calm as ever.
"Your Majesty, you must already have a plan in mind, right?"
"But what do you think?"
Seeing that Lin Ke still did not react, Nan Tong took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Whatever decision you make, I will support you with all my might, even at the cost of my life!"
"We, Holy Egypt, will forever be united under the leadership of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Whatever your choice today, we are ready to embrace the future of Holy Egypt!"
Hearing Nan Tong's impassioned words, Lin Ke finally took action.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, then patted Nan Tong's shoulder.
Nan Tong, though appearing resolute, still had eyes full of worry.
“You’re right about one thing, Nan Tong.”
"This is the future of our Holy Egypt."
"Don't worry, I already have a plan, but we probably need to be prepared."
As Lin Ke spoke, Nan Tong paused in surprise.
"Prepare?"
Lin Ke nodded and said nothing more, because he noticed that some of the leaders had begun to turn their attention to the seat where Lin Ke was.
Not only that, but a few civilization leaders even seemed to be discussing something and began to approach Lin Ke's location.
Meanwhile, Bolivar of Gran Colombia has already read out the names of several leaders who are near Linko.
Clearly, Lin Ke has less and less time left to make a decision.
But Lin Ke remained calm and composed, just like the eye of a storm, unmoved and steadfast.
Nan Tong took a deep breath, his gaze shifting between the two clashing forces, as if anticipating the crucial moment to come.
Whatever choice the Holy Pharaoh makes, he is prepared to follow him to the end, even if the road ahead is full of thorns and he faces a life-or-death situation.
Just then, a leader walked up to Lin Ke and lowered his voice.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Have you already made any plans?"
Although Lin Ke did not speak, the leader saw that Lin Ke's gaze had been drawn to him.
Then he glanced at another leader behind Philippe of Spain, who merely raised his head slightly, as if giving a signal.
At this point, the leader spoke.
“Holy Pharaoh, you may not know this.”
"The current world conference is facing a dangerous situation, and your vote is crucial for both sides."
"But I need to remind you, Holy Pharaoh, the reason you were invited to this world conference is because someone greatly admires the current Holy Egypt, and of course, you, Holy Pharaoh."
"So, that's why you were able to..."
Lin Ke listened to the other person's words, smiled slightly, and still did not speak.
However, this scene was noticed by Bolívar of Gran Colombia, who was observing the venue.
He immediately seized the opportunity, raising his voice and even interrupting another leader who was speaking at the meeting.
"Alright, now it's the leader of Holy Egypt's turn to speak."
"Your Holiness the Holy Pharaoh, please indicate whether Holy Egypt agrees or disagrees with this."
Upon hearing this, the meeting room immediately fell silent.
Moreover, all eyes immediately focused on Lin Ke.
