"Oh! Look!" There was an exclamation from the crowd, and everyone's attention was attracted by the strange sight in the sky.
The shadow of the Atlantis Poseidon was surrounded by azure light, as if the entire sky was illuminated by his light.
Another huge shadow also appeared, that was the shadow of the Holy Pharaoh.
Golden light condensed in the sea of clouds, and his body was extremely majestic, even taller than the shadow of the Atlantean Poseidon.
"The Holy Pharaoh has appeared again!"
An elderly farmer knelt on one knee, raised his hands, and murmured a prayer, as if all the sins of this life could be forgiven if he just looked at it again.
"It's amazing! The light of the Holy Pharaoh covers the entire world!"
A businessman was so excited that he clasped his hands together and lowered his head. Even the noise around him seemed to be completely suppressed by his voice.
The projection above the sky was not a real miracle, but Lin Ke asked Ramses to use his divine power to project the image in his mind.
That’s right, everything was carefully designed by Lin Ke.
The golden glow, the azure ocean scent, and the towering image were all meant to make the people believe that this was not only a manifestation of the gods, but also a symbol of an alliance between two powerful countries.
The reason why Lin Ke did this was not only to tell the people that Egypt had a new ally, but also to make them more convinced that Holy Egypt would get better and better under their leadership!
The voice of the sea god was deep and powerful, coming from the sky.
"Your Majesty, the Pharaoh of Holy Egypt, the subjects of Atlantis will always remember this great day. On behalf of Atlantis, I salute you and Holy Egypt."
"I am the Sea God of Atlantis. I sincerely propose to you that Atlantis and Holy Egypt form an alliance today."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Atlantis will always remember your kindness!"
Lin Ke stood on the high platform and first glanced at the people in the city.
"What? We in Holy Egypt actually have an ally!"
"The Holy Pharaoh can actually communicate directly with the Sea God of Atlantis!"
"We have been fighting alone all this time, but I never thought that the Holy Pharaoh would be able to get them to ally with us!"
"The Holy Pharaoh is indeed a man blessed by the gods. Even Atlantis is willing to become our ally!"
Cheers rang out from the crowd.
Although some people were still confused and didn't understand why two such huge shadows appeared in the sky, the vast majority of people were deeply shocked.
Afterwards, Lin Ke continued his conversation with the Poseidon of Atlantis in the civilization panel.
"Very good," Lin Ke said loudly, her voice spreading in all directions like a surging torrent, "From today on, Egypt and Atlantis will join hands in the name of alliance! May this covenant never dry up like the water of the Nile! May our friendship last forever!"
When the people heard this solemn declaration, they all fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Long live the Holy Pharaoh! Long live Egypt!"
As Linke and the Atlantis Poseidon ended their conversation on the civilization panel, new information immediately appeared on the civilization panel.
"Atlantis and Egypt have formed an alliance."
This short line of text announced the official establishment of a comprehensive cooperative relationship between the two great civilizations!
What followed were a number of new options and detailed explanations, showing Lin Ke the various advantages that the alliance would bring.
First, the most obvious is the improvement of diplomatic relations.
The original "neutral" diplomatic status was changed to "ally", and the in-game entry was displayed as "diplomatic relations: friendly".
This means that cooperation between the two countries will be closer and it will no longer be easy for relations to break down due to minor frictions.
Additionally, alliances unlock new diplomatic options, such as making it easier to sign defense pacts or even jointly participate in certain large-scale international projects.
Secondly, it will be able to create more trade routes with Atlantis and bring more practical economic benefits.
The "Trade Route: +1" entry is prominently displayed on the interface, which means that Egypt's trade caravans can send more goods to Atlantis, and can also obtain more rare resources and gold coins from the port of Atlantis.
This increase not only made Egypt’s treasury more abundant, but also made the flow of goods between the two countries more frequent, thus promoting the development of cities and the advancement of science and technology.
In addition, resource sharing is also a highlight of the alliance.
A new "Resource Exchange" option has been added to the panel, indicating that the two countries can supply each other with strategic resources and luxury goods.
For example, when Egypt lacks a certain important building material, it can directly call on it from Atlantis's inventory without paying an additional high price.
Likewise, if famine struck the cities of Atlantis, they could quickly receive food supplies from Egypt.
Of course, this kind of supply can only be achieved through trade routes, and cannot be obtained directly by operating in the civilization panel.
This resource-sharing mechanism makes the two countries more dependent on each other and reduces the risk of a single country collapsing due to resource shortages.
Finally, there are some hidden benefits that are not directly marked on the panel, but Lin Ke is very clear about their value.
After the alliance, Atlantis' cultural and technological advantages could indirectly penetrate into Egypt's system.
This is not an immediate change, but a gradual process.
With long-term cooperation, Egyptian cities can accept Atlantis' advanced technology more quickly, thereby shortening the time for scientific and technological research.
The quality of Atlantis’ military might also have influenced Egypt’s soldier training standards, making its military even more sophisticated.
In short, after the alliance between the two great civilizations of Egypt and Atlantis, diplomacy can become more frequent, the economy can become more prosperous, and after the trade routes are opened, resources will also be more abundant.
Even technology and culture can be slowly improved!
Lin Ke put away the panel and looked up at the light and shadow that was constantly dissipating in front of him.
He was well aware that the alliance between Holy Egypt and Atlantis would symbolize another step forward for the resurgent nation.
And those magnificent shadows in the sky will become a legend passed down by the people of Holy Egypt.
The people watched the shadow gradually disappear, excited discussions arose one after another, then they bowed their heads and knelt, and finally cheered for the Holy Pharaoh of Egypt.
"The Holy Pharaoh has formed an alliance with Atlantis!"
"We finally have an ally!"
Even though the alliance had taken effect and Atlantis had plenty of food, Holy Egypt still couldn't enjoy these benefits immediately.
There were also many Hebrew troops stationed between Holy Egypt and Atlantis.
These enemy forces did not let down their guard. They firmly controlled the main land and water routes leading to Atlantis, making trade routes between the two countries difficult to smooth.
Lin Ke knew clearly that although their alliance had been formed, in order to truly bring out the role of the alliance on the civilization panel, they had to eliminate the Hebrew enemies.
He returned to the palace and continued to search for information in the civilization panel.
