"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"I have something important to report to you!"
Nan Tong's face was rarely solemn, and Lin Ke could roughly guess how urgent the situation was with just one glance.
Not only that, Lin Ke also saw that he was holding tightly in his hand the crocodile king eggshell that Lin Ke had rewarded him.
The surface of the eggshell glowed with a yellow light like the color of the desert, and seemed to contain some powerful magical power.
However, this made Lin Ke a little confused.
Why did Nan Tong bring this thing to the palace?
Lin Ke's face remained calm, but his eyes were fixed on the crocodile king eggshell: "Nantong, why are you so flustered?"
Nan Tong took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suppress the disgusting feeling into his heart, otherwise he would vomit it out immediately.
He slowly placed the crocodile king eggshell on the ground, and then slowly lowered his voice: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
“When I was practicing magic with the crocodile king eggshell you gave me, I saw some scenes in the smoke rising from the eggshell.
"...some, disturbing sights."
When Nan Tong said this, he couldn't help but almost retching.
You know, it is extremely disrespectful to do such a thing in front of the Holy Pharaoh, and Nan Tong is also a very experienced minister.
Lin Ke was a little curious. What kind of scene could make Nan Tong unable to help but do such a disrespectful action?
At this time, Lin Ke's eyes fell on the eggshell.
Looking closely, you can indeed see some thin smoke slowly seeping out of the eggshell.
He asked Nan Tong: "What did you see?"
Nan Tong's voice was very heavy, and his eyes immediately lost their light: "I saw that the Hebrews launched an inhumane massacre against our cities, those cities they occupied."
Hearing this, Lin Ke's face immediately became serious.
He immediately realized that this was a vicious revenge taken by the Hebrews.
They unleashed all the injuries and humiliations they had suffered on the battlefield on those innocent Egyptians.
"But this was not the case in all cities. In some cities, the Egyptians became slaves of the Hebrews and were forced to work for them."
"I saw the Hebrews let them destroy the Egyptian temples and stone statues of their gods, and then rebuild the statues of the Hebrew God."
"What's even more terrifying is that some Egyptians have already turned their backs on us. They have lost their faith in the Egyptian gods and have turned to the Hebrew gods."
"If the statues of the Hebrew gods were rebuilt and worshipped by more people, the power of their gods would continue to grow."
Lin Ke listened quietly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The situation was even worse than Lin Ke had expected.
Because, after occupying a city, the act of massacring civilians would be despised by almost all civilizations and countries.
The fact that the Hebrews could do such a thing shows how much they hated holy Egypt.
But Lin Ke knew very well that the crazier the enemy was, the more correct his actions were.
Lin Ke took a deep breath, then looked at Nan Tong, his tone still calm: "Go on."
Nan Tong nodded and continued, "I saw a city where the Egyptians were driven into the square by the Hebrews and forced to kneel down and worship the Hebrew idols."
“Those who refused were executed on the spot, while those who submitted were forced to convert.”
"Ah! Our compatriots, I see their eyes are full of despair and numbness, as if they have no souls anymore."
"When I see this, I feel really sad!"
Lin Ke clenched his fists slightly, but his expression remained calm.
Now is not the time to act on impulse.
Moreover, Holy Egypt does not have the strength to capture all the occupied cities.
They didn't even have a decent siege weapon.
Even if you are attacking a city with weaker defenses, you need a god who can at least use low-level divine power to cooperate with the army.
Although Lin Ke's voice was still calm, there were faint lines on his forehead: "Anything else?"
Nan Tong's voice sounded more and more painful: "And, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, there are many more."
“I also saw some Egyptians in remote cities who had been assimilated into the Hebrews and even began to serve in the Hebrew army.”
“They even wore Hebrew clothing and spoke the Hebrew language.”
"even!"
When Nan Tong said this, his face was distorted, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or sad.
"They even raised their butcher knives against their own poor compatriots!"
After hearing Nan Tong's words, Lin Ke was silent for a long time.
His gaze was as deep as the abyss.
He knew very well that what Nan Tong saw was not an illusion, but something real that was happening right now.
Not only did the Hebrews capture the cities of Holy Egypt, they were also trying to completely destroy the Egyptians’ faith and culture spiritually!
Nan Tong wiped away her tears vigorously, and her voice became a little anxious: "Your Majesty, the great Saint Pharaoh!"
"I believe that we must recover Egypt's old lands as soon as possible and bring them back under the rule of Holy Egypt!"
"Otherwise, Egypt's old city-states will be completely assimilated!"
“By then, even if we recapture the city, we won’t be able to regain the lost people’s hearts.”
"If we put it more seriously, people may even stop recognizing our original great culture."
Lin Ke nodded. He understood Nan Tong's words very well: "You are right."
“We can’t just sit there and wait for this to happen.”
"However, we do not yet have the strength to attack the city."
"However, as you said, we must first identify a city that has a high probability of being successfully captured, and then prepare for the battle."
Lin Ke stood up as he spoke.
He came to the outside of the palace and looked up at the distant sky. At the same time, he quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
The Hebrews' methods were more brutal than he had imagined. Not only did they occupy the city, they also tried to undermine Egypt's beliefs and culture from within.
This is no longer just a military war, but also a war of civilization and spiritual beliefs.
"Also, Nantong."
"You will gather Kamul and Malacia tomorrow. We need to make a detailed plan."
Nan Tong bowed and accepted the order, then asked Linke: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, where is the King of Atlantis?"
After hearing what Nan Tong said, Lin Ke just shook his head slowly.
"Atlantis is now severely damaged and has no ability to fight at all."
"Let them rest well. Besides, they are also needed for defense at sea."
"Our strength is limited. We must launch the siege while ensuring our manpower. Otherwise, it will greatly damage the vitality of Holy Egypt."
Nan Tong took the order and was about to leave when he saw a golden light flashing in the hall.
That's Ramses.
