The next day.
The sun had just risen when people saw that the sky over Heliopolis was completely covered with thick smoke.
The flames from the burning corpses shot up into the sky, almost as high as a hill.
The volcano was now devouring the remains of those soldiers' bodies.
"Bang."
"Bang."
The Egyptian slaves mechanically threw the corpses into the fire. Their faces were expressionless and their eyes were empty, as if they were just doing a job like moving things.
Of course, this is also because they have long been accustomed to such scenes.
The Hebrews just stood in the distance, watching the flames silently, and some even began to sob softly, with tears rolling down their cheeks.
"Burn it! Burn it!"
“After it’s burned, we can move forward.”
An old Hebrew man whispered as he grabbed a handful of dust and slowly let it go, watching it disperse in the wind.
The same is true for human life at this moment.
The young man next to the old man clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness: "We shouldn't give in like this!"
“The Hebrew army will surely come to rescue us!”
"Then we can give these Egyptians to..."
Hearing this, the old man just shook his head and sighed softly: "What's the point of fighting?"
"This was originally the homeland of the Egyptians. We were the invaders."
"The holy Pharaoh of holy Egypt didn't even make us slaves and even gave us bread and milk this morning."
"What a benevolent king he is! With such a leader, Holy Egypt will surely be successful."
Upon hearing that, the young man loosened his fist slightly, but he deliberately avoided looking into the old man's eyes and just turned his head to the side.
At the same time, Lin Ke stood in front of the ruins next to the Temple of the Sun, frowning slightly.
Behind him, thousands of Holy Egyptian soldiers were busy carrying huge stones.
"Push harder! Don't let up!"
Several Hebrew soldiers were directing elephants to slowly drag the huge stone towards the temple.
Of course, that was because their families were treated well and kept in the area where the Hebrews lived.
Moreover, they were not treated as slaves.
So, these people with weak points did not create chaos. Instead, they took the initiative to tell the soldiers of Holy Egypt that they could command the elephants.
Of course, such Hebrew soldiers were a minority.
But although the repair work has begun, progress is very slow.
Lin Ke's voice was calm, but there was a hint of solemnity in his tone: "Ramesses, how long do you think it will take us to completely repair this temple?"
Ramses stood beside him, his golden figure looking particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The golden light in his eyes trembled slightly, and then he slowly said: "According to my guess, it will take at least five days."
"Moreover, this is only a preliminary repair. It may take longer to fully restore the temple's ritual function."
Lin Ke nodded and let out a sigh of relief.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the city is involved in this work.
Strictly speaking, four days is actually a very short time, but the Hebrew army is heading here, so four days still seems a bit long.
As for tasks like repairing city walls, Lin Ke's [Builders] are already on the way, so there is no need to waste manpower and resources to repair them.
The Temple of the Sun is the most important thing.
At this time, Lin Ke asked again: "Ramesses, so, has the breath of God Ra completely disappeared?"
"You can't feel it even a little bit?"
Ramses responded almost immediately: "Yes, brother."
"This temple was once the core of the worship of the god Ra, but now, there is no sign of any divine presence here."
"If we are to attempt to awaken Ra, we must completely restore the temple, down to the millimeter."
Lin Ke nodded, then turned around and called the general in the distance: "Send an order, tell everyone to speed up the repair progress."
"We must restore the temple as soon as possible and awaken our Supreme God."
The general nodded vigorously to accept the order, responded with a loud voice, and left quickly.
Lin Ke slowly walked into the temple, and the gravel under his feet made a slight "cracking" sound.
He looked at the damaged murals on the wall and slowly asked about Ramses.
“Can you see what these murals looked like originally?”
In Lin Ke's opinion, a ceremony must have been held in the Temple of the Sun a long time ago.
Because many of the debris here are related to rituals.
He judged that perhaps these murals that could not be observed clearly might contain the clues he needed.
At this time, Ramses walked to a wall and slowly stretched out his hand.
"These murals depict ceremonies of worship of the god Ra."
“The ritual is very complicated and requires precise timing and steps.”
"We must fully restore these sun temples before we can restart the rituals."
Lin Ke nodded.
really!
Only after repairs and completion of the rituals could Ramses sense the divine breath of Ra.
Just as Lin Ke was checking the temple, an old Egyptian slave came over tremblingly.
He didn't dare to get close, nor did he dare to look directly, but just knelt down from a distance.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Just now, I heard from an old magician that you are looking for someone who knows about the Temple of the Sun."
