When Lin Ke raised the thing, the sunlight was shining from behind him.
"Ankh".
The ancient Egyptians called it the Key of Life.
They believe it can open the door to life and death as easily as a key opens the door to one's own home.
When a dead person holds it, his soul can wander in the underworld.
If a living person holds it up, the gods will extend your life.
It was an object shaped like a cross, and now it was shining with dazzling golden light.
The sun has risen.
At this time, Lin Ke was holding this magical artifact high up like a little sun.
In the morning light, Lin Ke spoke slowly.
"I still remember when I first ascended the throne of Saint Pharaoh, the Hebrew iron hoof had already broken through the last line of defense of the capital."
"The enemy even broke into our palace, but it was our brave warriors and magicians who drove them out."
"It was only after the coming of Ramses that these invaders were temporarily repelled."
"But after the war, I saw our people digging grass roots under the city walls to feed themselves."
“I saw mothers who had to feed their last morsels of oatmeal to their crying babies while they themselves were too hungry to even stand.”
"I saw the harvested wheat fields being trampled by iron hooves. The old farmer knelt on the charred earth, holding up handfuls of wheat ears that had been burned to charcoal, crying until his eyes were blinded."
"I saw an old priest protecting the last statue with his body under the temple's colonnade. He fell under the statue with three arrows stuck in his back."
"I saw the caravan camel bells turn into the sound of shackles, and our people were tied up in the market and traded like cattle."
At this point, Lin Ke's voice suddenly rose.
"It is us, all of us in Holy Egypt, who have rebuilt our future with our flesh and blood!"
"It is our civilization and our undying faith that have allowed us to stand up straight again!"
His eyes swept over the Holy Egyptian soldiers below, who simply stared at him with gleams in their eyes.
"We have finally driven away the invaders, allowing the wheat fields to grow golden ears of wheat again, and allowing children to sleep peacefully under their safe roofs."
"But these Hebrews! These invaders!"
Lin Ke's voice suddenly turned cold: "They can't bear to see us live a good life!"
"Just when we had recaptured the city that originally belonged to us, they came back with a large army!"
He turned suddenly, and pointed his ankh at the fleeing Hebrew army in the distance:
"Soldiers! Do you still want to be slaves of the enemy?"
The soldiers' thunderous roars resounded through the sky: "No!"
Lin Ke continued: "Do you still want to live a life of hunger?"
The soldiers slammed their spears to the ground: "No!"
Moreover, some people in the crowd shouted: "It is His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh who has led us to the day we live today!"
"It is His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh who ensures that my family can have enough food to eat!"
"It was His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh who summoned the ancient gods and killed my family!"
At this moment, Lin Ke's eyes were burning with anger, and he continued to raise his voice: "We just want to live our own lives again, and you——"
His voice exploded like thunder: "And you! You want to kill us all again and again!"
"What you bring today is not war, but extinction!"
"Hebrews, this is your greatest sin!"
Upon hearing this, the Hebrew commanders turned pale.
They were speechless, and even the Hebrew soldiers looked terrified.
After all, being named by the Holy Pharaoh means that they will be the first to suffer.
"As for those jackals who came all the way from the west—"
When Lin Ke mentioned "the West", the gods and soldiers of the Greek alliance shook slightly.
"Do you think that by blocking our trade routes, you can restrict Holy Egypt?"
Lin Ke glanced in the direction of the Western coalition forces at this time, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think that you can control everything and even reap the benefits just by hiding in the dark?"
"You guys are wishful thinking!"
"You block our trade routes, but you don't know that Holy Egypt has already opened up new roads!"
His voice became louder and louder: "You don't allow the supplies to be delivered to Holy Egypt, but you don't know that we already have our own copper and iron mines!"
"You think you can cut off our food supply by cutting off trade?"
Lin Ke sneered with sarcasm: "You fools don't know that the granaries of Holy Egypt are already full of grains produced from the newly reclaimed fertile land!"
After hearing this, the faces of those people from the Greek alliance also became uneasy.
"How come the Holy Pharaoh knows everything?!"
"Didn't we do all these things in secret?"
"What the hell is going on!"
But Lin Ke ignored their words and just continued talking.
"And now you dare to sit back and reap the benefits, and stab the wound of Holy Egypt again?"
"You are equally sinful!"
At this time, upon hearing these words, the emerald scepter in the hand of the Mayan high priest trembled slightly.
He blinked hard and listened carefully to Lin Ke's words: "Ah! What a wise king!"
"The words are sonorous and powerful, and the language is all about holy Egypt."
“How great!”
"It seems that our previous view of the Holy Pharaoh was biased!"
