"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of explosions was deafening. Before the fleet could react, it was bombarded to pieces by the explosives, and countless fragments sank into the sea.
"Ah!" Olaf, covered in blood, used the momentum to leap into the air.
Before the small boat beneath his feet sank into the sea, he climbed onto the large English ship next to him.
His skin was now charred black, torn open by the explosives. If it weren't for his strong physique as a berserker, he might have sunk into the sea like the other Viking warriors on the ship.
He stared at the Viking warrior's corpse slowly sinking into the sea, his eyes filled with both anger and fear.
A soldier on the English ship, still shaken, said:
"What was that just now? Did Saint Egypt cast a spell?"
Even though England is among the world's leading nations in various fields, they have never seen anything with such immense power.
An English magician stepped forward: "No, this is not magic."
"It must be a weapon they developed themselves."
"Not magic?" The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were silent for a long while, then one of them said in a trembling voice, "We don't have anything like that in England."
They looked ahead in fear; smoke filled the air, as if no more explosives were flying towards them.
Just then, a man hurriedly came from the cabin to report: "The king said to continue forward."
"This kind of thing is so powerful, there couldn't possibly be many in Holy Egypt."
The soldiers agreed, as no more explosives had been thrown since the previous attack.
Moreover, they are now prepared, so even if more explosives are thrown at them, they will be able to react in time.
With this in mind, the English ships once again disregarded the warnings from Holy Egypt and continued sailing toward the Egyptian coastline.
Olaf stood blankly on the deck, the wind and smoke brushing against his face.
The surrounding sea was littered with the corpses of Viking warriors; the explosives had been aimed first at the ships the Viking warriors were piloting.
The soldier who had just come out to deliver the orders saw Olaf, paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
“Olav, His Majesty the Lionheart said that he greatly admires your bravery and fearlessness. As long as you are willing to serve him, you can take revenge and slaughter as you wish after the conquest of Holy Egypt.”
Olaf gave a bitter smile, looking sadly at the Viking warriors who had suffered heavy casualties.
Eric started the civil war, which was instigated by Richard the Lionheart. However, Richard the Lionheart was later attracted by Eric's wisdom and bravery and supported him to become the new king of Norway.
He felt like a piece of duckweed, being blown about by the wind.
However, for the sake of revenge, he could endure anything and care about nothing.
So he nodded slightly: "As long as we can avenge ourselves against Holy Egypt, everything else is negotiable."
The large ship sailed forward through the smoke from the explosion.
"Sure enough, they've run out of other tricks," one soldier exclaimed excitedly.
...
Beneath the surface of the sea, several sea beast riders were struggling to push a small boat forward; it was the smallest of the escort ships.
Because of the noise of the explosion, no one noticed them.
After pushing them to the designated location, they quickly retreated, darting back to the shore like fish.
"Huh? So many ships." As the smoke cleared, the soldiers quickly noticed several small boats anchored on the sea.
"Hahaha, these Egyptians are courting death, do they still want to launch a sneak attack?"
"Great Magician, show these Egyptians what you're capable of."
Upon hearing this, an old man in a white robe stepped forward, holding a withered lizard in his hand, and shouted, "Holy Light, scorch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from the top of the lizard's head. With a "boom," a large hole was blasted into the frigate, and flames roared up.
The soldiers looked closely and saw that the frigate was completely silent, without making a sound.
"Nobody's here?" Everyone frowned, a strong sense of unease rising from the bottom of their hearts.
"Boom!" The escort ships suddenly exploded one after another, engulfing the fleet in the sea.
...
"Your Majesty, Pharaoh, you are truly amazing! You routed these guys without using a single soldier!" Arthas said excitedly.
Nan Tong exclaimed, "Our Holy Egypt's current fighting strength must be the best in the world."
Lin Ke smiled slightly: "This is the result of the joint efforts of the people of Holy Egypt."
The next day, news of the Egyptian navy's crushing defeat of the English navy spread throughout the world, causing a great stir globally.
Gran Colombia and Spain set aside their competition and urgently convened a world conference.
The next world conference was originally scheduled for six months later, but Holy Egypt's actions this time were completely unexpected.
After withdrawing from the World Conference, Holy Egypt had been developing quietly, but unexpectedly, a few months later, it made a name for itself and made everyone take it seriously.
It is said that at the World Conference, major powers such as England, Portugal, and Spain were all present, and the leader of Gran Colombia was also extremely focused on Holy Egypt when presiding over the meeting.
After all, England's navy is among the top in the world, on par with Gran Colombia's navy.
But Holy Egypt annihilated the English navy without deploying a single soldier. What kind of concept is that?
Many major powers reached a consensus at the world conference to temporarily set aside their personal grievances and unite to curb the development of Holy Egypt.
If Holy Egypt continues to develop in this way, it might really lead to the establishment of a Civilizational Union to confront the World Conference.
Just then, a major upheaval occurred at the world conference.
Among small and medium-sized civilizations, more than half chose to withdraw from the World Conference.
They completely sided with Holy Egypt and chose the Alliance of Civilizations.
Holy Egypt became completely independent from the many great powers and became a "new world".
He was told about the World Conference by the smaller and medium-sized civilizations within the Civilization Alliance.
Lin Ke has no time to care about the opinions of other major powers right now.
Now, Holy Egypt's military strength is unmatched, and he is prepared to devote himself wholeheartedly to developing the cultural tourism industry, striving to achieve cultural victory as soon as possible.
He recruited several great artists and musicians, and tourism revenue soared.
He also built wonders, one after another, as long as they were buildable.
The number of international tourists has reached more than 160, while its current biggest rival, Greece, has 180. If it can surpass Greece, it will achieve a cultural victory!
This game is slowly coming to an end.
Several more months passed, and other major powers, unable to withstand the pressure, took the initiative to send envoys to negotiate.
