The Heka masters raised their staffs high and cast powerful spells one after another.
With a wave of their hands, the golden light turned into sand and dust, instantly penetrating the barbarian front-line soldiers, causing the barbarian's entire line to completely collapse in an instant.
"Oh my god! What is that?"
“That’s not at all what the Hebrews said!”
The barbarian soldiers roared in fear, and some even turned and fled without waiting for orders.
The Heka masters waved their staffs lightly, and a wave of hot air instantly rose from the surrounding sand.
Then, the air waves gathered into a powerful dust storm and rushed straight towards the enemy.
The chariots of Holy Egypt rumbled across the ground, causing heavy casualties among the barbarians.
The warriors leaped down and engaged the barbarians in close combat. The infantrymen's spears pierced the enemy's chest, while Master Heka continued to cast powerful spells in the rear, completely suppressing the enemy's counterattack.
The roars of the barbarians gradually turned into screams, and they fled in all directions like headless flies.
However, the army of Holy Egypt pushed them into a dead end like a tide, leaving them no chance to breathe.
"Kill them all! Let these barbarians understand the power of Holy Egypt!"
The shouts of the officers and men in command were deafening. The high-spirited soldiers mercilessly swung their spears and drew their bows and arrows. Soon, the entire canyon was filled with blood.
The last barbarian warrior who was still charging let out a roar and rushed towards Master Heka, but the dust swallowed him in an instant.
His weapon broke into two pieces in mid-air, and the sand under his feet seemed to be branded by fire, with a scorch mark.
The remaining barbarian soldiers immediately scattered, their footsteps thumping on the ground as they fled, not even daring to look back.
The chariot slowly drove past the mountains of weapon wreckage, and the soldiers in charge looked coldly at the densely packed corpses of the barbarian soldiers piled on the ground.
The soldiers raised their spears high, smashed them hard on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Long live Holy Egypt!"
"Long live His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"We defeated the barbarians!"
“Glory to Holy Egypt, and to us!”
The shouts shook the sky and the cheers hit the valley like waves again and again.
The soldiers waved their weapons excitedly, slapped each other on the shoulders and cheered loudly.
"Holy Pharaoh, God of the Desert and the Nile, protect us!"
The chariot slowly stopped, and the soldiers jumped off the shafts, supporting each other and wiping the traces of battle from their breastplates.
Their faces were filled with joy of surviving a disaster, as if they had walked through the gates of hell.
"Did you see that? Master Heka waved his hand and all the enemies fell down!"
"Hahaha! Our Holy Egypt's 'Master Heka' is just that powerful!"
After only a few hours of fighting, the barbarian soldiers retreated like a tide, and the army of Holy Egypt won a complete victory!
The next morning, the Holy Egyptian troops returned in triumph, bringing back some barbarian weapons and leather armor.
As the team marched through the city gate, the people in the city flocked to the streets to cheer and salute the soldiers who had just returned from a bloody battle.
"Long live the Holy Pharaoh! Long live Holy Egypt!"
The soldiers were surrounded by enthusiastic cheers, and the crowd waved their hands and chanted the name of the Holy Pharaoh.
Some people even knelt on the ground and patted the sand with their hands, expressing their respect in the most traditional and simple way.
Some people threw the flower petals in their hands, while others held their children high up so that they could also witness this glorious moment.
The cheers of the crowd gradually faded away, but everyone in Holy Egypt was still shouting and celebrating the victory.
After all the troops returned, Lin Ke immediately prepared a celebration banquet for the triumphant army.
At night, in the palace hall, the long table illuminated by lights was filled with food.
Although these were not delicacies, the aroma of the grilled meat and the fresh fruits still made the soldiers swallow their saliva.
The soldiers at the table raised their wooden cups and took sips, occasionally glancing at their colleagues opposite them, sometimes laughing, and sometimes whispering some insignificant gossip.
Several soldiers were sitting in groups of three or four at the door.
One of them whispered something to his companion next to him, and the other one laughed, raised his glass to greet him, and bumped him with his shoulder, causing some wine to spill, but they just casually wiped it off with their sleeves and continued to make noise.
At the same time, in the middle of the long table, Lin Ke sat there alone.
There was an untouched wine glass in front of him, but his attention was not at all on the banquet in front of him.
Whether it was the soldiers at the door teasing each other, or someone in the distance raising a glass and shouting "Long live the Holy Pharaoh!", Lin Ke just glanced at them indifferently.
The soldiers at the door were still making a lot of noise, but Lin Ke was not immersed in the joy. He was just focusing on the information displayed on the civilization panel.
"【Builder】: Completed!"
At the same time, Lin Ke quickly dispatched [Builders] to an open space outside the city, which was perfect for building a [Farm].
【farm】!
It is a type of infrastructure used primarily to increase food production in land surrounding cities.
As a city's population grows, each additional citizen requires more food, so having highly productive farms helps sustain a city's rapid expansion.
Moreover, Holy Egypt is in great need of food now.
[The farm’s] role is not just to provide direct food production.
When multiple [farms] are adjacent to each other, they can form a "cluster effect", unlocking additional food bonuses and further accelerating population growth.
That piece of vacant land had already been marked by Lin Ke as the best location for building a [farm].
Under his command, the builders quickly took action. They swung their sledgehammers, and the ground sank as they struck. The land that had been ravaged by war immediately changed its appearance.
"Construction: [Farmland]."
A line of golden words flashed on the civilization panel: "+1 Food!"
......
The next morning, Lin Ke was checking the civilization panel when he suddenly received an emergency report from Kamul.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Kamul hurried in, holding a statistical file of the granary in his hand.
With an expression that was difficult to conceal, he said, "Our granary...is much larger than yesterday!"
“Moreover, the flour made from these grains is of excellent quality!”
Lin Ke just nodded and didn't say much.
Kamul lowered his head to carefully check the data in his hand, then raised his head again.
"Your Majesty, it is strange that the food reserves increased so much in just one night. I sent someone to check it out."
"Our warriors discovered a 'farm' where many high-quality grains are grown. I guess..."
Lin Ke did not respond, but just smiled slightly.
Kamul's eyes widened slightly, as if he understood something.
"I understand, old minister!"
