Lin Ke's eyes were fixed on the civilization panel, and he repeatedly observed the faint spots of light on the screen.
After repeated observations, Lin Ke finally confirmed that these small dots of human figures flashing red light were enemies!
"Maybe they are Hebrews?"
Although they are small in size, their goals are very clear.
That is to enter Cairo and carry out some unknown conspiracy!
Judging from the direction they were moving, Lin Ke quickly realized that most of these people were heading for the "granary".
Perhaps it was because the barbarians' defeat thwarted the Hebrews' siege plan, so they sent these people to significantly reduce the food reserves of Holy Egypt by burning the granaries.
Faced with this situation, Lin Ke did not show any surprise.
He knew that his opponent would not accept defeat, so he adopted this strategy.
Fortunately, they had just sneaked into the city and they still had some distance to go before they could actually reach their target.
Lin Ke judged that these enemies were moving in a low profile and dared not make a sound, and they were obviously planning to launch a sneak attack silently, but this cautious pace also meant that they were doomed to be unable to arrive quickly.
As long as he can seize this gap, he will have enough time to plan a countermeasure!
So Lin Ke immediately called Kamul and Nan Tong.
"Kamul, I found that there are enemies lurking in the city. Their target is likely our granary. If we don't take action immediately, the consequences will be disastrous."
He paused and continued, "Seal off all the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Be sure to send more soldiers to patrol and prepare enough fire-fighting equipment."
Lin Ke knew very well that fire-fighting supplies were essential in a dry environment like that of ancient Egypt.
Kamul nodded his head and accepted the order, then immediately turned around to arrange the soldiers' actions.
The soldiers near the palace quickly prepared themselves. They filled water jugs and began to carry wet cloth and sandbags.
Then, he turned his gaze to Nan Tong: "Take your men directly to the granary."
"Once the enemy realizes that we have been exposed, they will definitely destroy our food reserves at all costs. I need you to defend there closely and try to capture them alive, but if the situation is critical, kill them directly."
The two men immediately understood Lin Ke's intention and responded in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh." Then they hurriedly left the palace.
The moment they walked out of the palace gate, the two slowed down their pace slightly and looked at each other.
Kamul spoke first: "The defense of the city gate has always been very tight. According to the previous alert intensity, if there was any abnormality, I should have received the information long ago."
"What the Prime Minister said is true," Nan Tong nodded, but then added, "But Saint Pharaoh said that enemies appeared in the city, so there must be real enemies lurking in the city."
After listening to Nan Tong's words, Kamul nodded in agreement.
"That's right. The Holy Pharaoh sees everything, and his words are naturally unquestionable. We are fortunate to be able to serve such a Holy Pharaoh, so we must naturally do our best to carry out his instructions."
Nan Tong also smiled and added, "How can we fully understand the wisdom and foresight of the Holy Pharaoh? Perhaps the Holy Pharaoh has already seen clearly the subtleties that we have not yet noticed."
Kamul said solemnly: "Yes, the Holy Pharaoh is in charge, and we just need to obey his orders."
The two then looked at each other, turned around, and devoted themselves to their respective tasks.
Kamul quickly rushed to the city gate and personally supervised the blockade work, ensuring that every entrance and exit was guarded. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to strengthen patrols and any suspicious movements must be reported immediately.
Nan Tong headed straight for the granary, mobilizing manpower to strengthen the defense while secretly observing the movements around him, ready to deal with any possible raid at any time.
It was a dark night, and in the quiet alley, a few figures were walking along the wall.
They were wearing tattered cloaks, their faces covered with cloth, and only their exposed eyes were scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
The two men at the front of the team were obviously Hebrews, and their speech was mixed with cold commands, with rapid and low voices.
“Go!”
Their eyes occasionally glanced at the person following behind them, a figure that was obviously different from them.
His clothes were even more worn, his face showed a bit of panic and hesitation, and he was holding a simple clay pot in his hand, which gave off a faint greasy reflection.
"Don't stop!" A Hebrew man walking in front turned around and shouted.
The man nodded quickly and quickened his pace.
But if you look closely, the man's steps are a little unsteady, and the clay pot in his hand is shaking slightly. It is obvious that he is trying hard to suppress his inner panic.
The other Hebrew walking at the end sneered softly, "Tsk, the people of Memphis are so useless that they are so afraid of even a simple job."
The man in front of him frowned and glared, then whispered, "Shut up. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to get in so easily."
The man from Memphis whispered, "I... I don't understand. Will burning down the granary really save my family?"
"Of course," the Hebrew man in front replied coldly, "Egypt will be conquered soon. Once the granaries are burned, they won't be able to hold out for much longer! When that happens, I will let you go home to your wife and children."
"Okay, okay! But if we are discovered by the army of the royal capital..."
"No ifs!" The Hebrew raised his voice slightly and then quickly lowered it.
"Egypt is now at the end of its rope. Look at the guards on the city gates. They can't even put together a proper patrol. We just want them to not have to endure such a painful struggle."
When the Memphis man heard this, the expression on his face became more complicated.
