As the sky gradually darkened, the army of Holy Egypt left the city of Pasadena and headed towards Fustat.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Fustat is about three days away from here."
Nan Tong looked at the map and told Lin Ke how long it would take. Lin Ke just nodded slightly.
Fustat was a city with two temples.
Temple of the Sacred Bull and the Temple of Nekhbet, the Protective Goddess.
In Linke's opinion, if he could capture Fustat, he would have the opportunity to gain two new gods, thereby further strengthening the power of Holy Egypt.
More importantly, Fustat’s defenses were the weakest compared to other occupied Egyptian cities, and it was also the city most likely to be captured at this point.
Of course, about a day or two's journey from Fustat were three Egyptian cities occupied by the Hebrews.
Therefore, Lin Ke's original plan was to secretly seize the power of the gods and then retreat immediately.
But now it is different. He has been able to confirm that Ramses can establish a connection between the ancient god and the mummy who has the blood of the pharaoh.
Then, once Fustat is occupied by them, it will not be difficult to defend the city with the power of the two gods.
Lin Ke was sitting in a chariot similar to a solar boat. He was watching the sun in the distance disappear slowly over the edge of the desert.
Beside him, Nan Tong was riding a camel, looking down at a sheepskin map.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"There are some high sand dunes around Fustat. We can send scouts to observe the situation in the city."
"If there are no special circumstances, the night raid can be carried out as originally planned."
Lin Ke looked at the wrinkles on Nan Tong's forehead that were gradually smoothing out, and said slowly: "Don't worry, we can take this opportunity to see how powerful our sky god Horus and crocodile god Sobek are."
"Now that we have gained two new gods, the plan can be adjusted accordingly."
Nan Tong nodded, but the wrinkles on his forehead did not completely smooth out: "You are right, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"However, our God of the Desert and the Nile has not yet returned to Holy Egypt to restore his divine power."
"If he uses his true body's divine power once more, his divine power will continue to decline. I am still a little worried."
But Lin Ke didn't seem worried at all: "What the God of the Desert and the Nile needs to do now is to protect the rear and establish a connection between the ancient god and the mummy."
"As for the task of attack, we can naturally leave it to Horus, the god of the sky, and Sobek, the god of the crocodile."
After hearing Lin Ke's words, Nan Tong's frown finally relaxed: "So that's how it is! Your Majesty, I was worrying too much."
Lin Ke smiled and nodded. Except for a team of [Master Heka] stationed in the city, all the troops of Holy Egypt have now left the city of Pasaybek.
Wadi, on the other hand, led the Egyptian slaves on the city wall, waving goodbye to the Holy Pharaoh.
"Long live His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"The City of Pasay is forever grateful for everything you have done for us!"
Late at night, the army of Holy Egypt stopped to rest, and Lin Ke discussed the next plan with Nan Tong.
"As soon as we launch an attack on Fustat, the Hebrews will soon know that we are attacking the city."
“By then, the other Egyptian cities occupied by the Hebrews will certainly increase their defenses.”
“Not only that, the enemy may also take advantage of Cairo’s lack of military strength to launch an attack on Cairo.”
“So, after we capture Fustat, I will let the two gods stay in Fustat first, and then we will return directly to Cairo.”
Lin Ke pointed at the retreat route on the papyrus with his finger, and Nan Tong just listened quietly, nodding his head occasionally.
"After returning to Cairo, we will hold another meeting with Atlantis and Amazon to organize troops to launch a general attack on the city of Heliopolis."
"The temple of Ra is in Heliopolis. If Holy Egypt can get the help of this supreme god, Holy Egypt may be able to avoid the prophesied 'destruction'."
Nan Tong nodded when he heard this, and agreed: "You are right, and the prophecy of the fall of the God of the Desert and the Nile may also change because of this."
Hearing this, Lin Ke nodded slowly and blinked: "Yes, that's right."
Nan Tong then pointed to the city of Heliopolis on the map and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, but the number of defenders in Heliopolis is huge."
"If we want to capture it, we need at least three times the enemy's military strength. We also need to surround the city, cut off the supply lines, and attack from multiple directions to disperse the defenders' defenses."
"And if the Hebrew defenders had fortified the city walls and were in high spirits, we might have needed five times as many troops to ensure victory."
"But if that's the case, I'm afraid we'll need to use all the strength of the three countries of the Holy Egyptian Alliance to achieve it. But even so, we won't be able to win completely."
"You see, if we can't capture it within a week, reinforcements from the Hebrew Empire will arrive from all directions, and our situation will be very dangerous."
"Also, if the enemy chooses to attack our other cities or Cairo, we must also disperse some of our forces to defend."
When Lin Ke heard Nan Tong's words, his expression was not serious. On the contrary, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Very good, Nan Tong, your ability to analyze the battlefield is now almost catching up with our Grand Chancellor Kamul."
