Looking at the bustling scene in Cairo, Lin Ke fell into deep thought.
Cairo is now a bustling city, with the streets crowded with people, the hawkers' calls echoing, and children chasing and playing in the alleys.
Even the air was completely free of the smell of gunpowder, only the aroma of baking bread and various foods mixed together.
Outside the city, foreign guests from Nubia, Maya and Atlantis came in an endless stream, bringing gold coins and goods, vying to see the spectacular miracle.
The people had smiles on their faces, and they lived a stable and prosperous life. Their loyalty was so high that even Lin Ke himself found it incredible.
The income from the miracle was increasing every day, trade routes were being opened one after another, and the reputation of Holy Egypt spread across the continent.
But now, the red "hostile" signs on the civilization panel were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
How could this happen?
Lin Ke took a deep breath.
It must be sorted out step by step.
What if it’s a spy sent by foreign enemies?
But that's simply impossible.
The moment the enemies of Holy Egypt set foot on this land, Lin Ke could judge whether they were friends or enemies through the civilization panel.
Maybe someone inside is dissatisfied?
Cairo is now a city of many people, with a wide variety of opinions, the arrival of foreign guests, and increased trade. It is inevitable that some locals feel that their sacred home has been desecrated.
Could it be that some small group has been secretly harboring resentment and is planning to cause a big disturbance?
But the loyalty of the people is obviously terrifyingly high, and there are soldiers patrolling the city every day, so this possibility is extremely small.
Moreover, the people of Holy Egypt have thousands of reasons to honor themselves.
To the people of Holy Egypt, Linke is God.
Even above God.
In other words, for the people of Holy Egypt, Lin Ke’s words are correct and are oracle that should be respected.
To them, all his decisions were absolutely correct and no one would doubt them.
So, Lin Ke still shook his head, he felt that this was not quite right.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the opening of the miracle?
People go in and out of the [Hanging Gardens], [Pyramids], and [Stonehenge] every day.
Although the soldiers were strict, there were always loopholes when there were so many people.
But the problem still remains, as long as they are not "friendly forces", they can be identified immediately in just one second.
Of course, there is another possibility.
ally.
Holy Egypt just signed a trade agreement with Nubia.
Could it be that some ally is secretly sending people to cause trouble?
This seems very likely.
Lin Ke took a deep breath.
Today, who on this continent, seeing the present state of Holy Egypt, would not want to have a piece of the pie?
This is not impossible.
However, all of Holy Egypt's allies have cooperative relations with Holy Egypt.
Obviously, the leaders of the Allies would not do such a stupid thing.
Then it could only be the work of rebel forces within the ally's territory.
But Lin Ke can only get the answer to this question before Ramses gets the result.
The last possibility is...
Could there be something wrong with the civilization panel?
After all, until today, Lin Ke had never seen such a strange thing where "friendly forces" became "neutral" and then became "hostile".
I haven't even seen it in Civilization VI.
Could it be that the civilization panel misjudged the situation and displayed incorrect information?
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately shook his head.
The civilization panel always only displays results and data.
It couldn't be wrong, but there was indeed something in the Holy Egyptian City that Lin Ke had not yet grasped.
The most dangerous thing now is that Lin Ke is still unclear about the other party's purpose.
Lin Ke stared out the window, looking towards an area near the city center.
The Nubian envoys were still there.
However, the "hostile" targets were still moving slowly.
He kept his eyes on the targets in the civilization panel.
In Lin Ke's opinion, no matter how cautious Ramses was, he should have reached his destination by now.
Sure enough, Lin Ke noticed that the moving red "hostile" signs suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly there was only one target left.
And that "hostile" target is now approaching the palace of Holy Egypt at an alarming speed.
Lin Ke took a deep breath at this time, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
He knew very well that it was Ramses who took action.
That guy is as fast as lightning. No one else has such speed except Ramses.
Afterwards, Lin Ke returned to the palace. He stood by the window, tapping the windowsill with his fingers, quietly waiting for Ramses to bring the man back.
A moment later, a gray figure flashed in from the window.
Ramses came in wrapped in his linen robe, with a person tucked under his arm.
The man was thrown out by Ramses with one hand. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and stopped moving after struggling for a few times.
Because that person saw Lin Ke's appearance.
Lin Ke took a look and found that the man was wearing an ordinary holy Egyptian linen robe and his skin color was no different from that of the local people.
Obviously, he is the people of Holy Egypt.
But there was no surprise on Lin Ke's face. He had known for a long time that this "hostile" unit might be his own people.
This result was also expected.
He looked at Ramses and asked in a deep voice: "Where are the others?"
Ramses loosened his grip, letting the man fall to the ground, then removed his hood.
Only then did his golden light slightly shine through his robe.
"Your Majesty, the moment I appeared beside them, these rebels bit off something from under their little finger nails and died on the spot."
"It happened suddenly. After making a judgment, I only had time to stop this one."
Lin Ke looked down and saw the man slumped on the ground. The little finger of his left hand was missing, leaving only a bare broken end, as if it had been cut off by something.
But, poison hidden in the fingernails?
Lin Ke realized that this was not an isolated incident at all.
These guys are very well prepared.
It was organized and premeditated!
Lin Ke walked up to the man, squatted down, and stared at him coldly.
"Look at me."
"Why did you betray Holy Egypt?"
"Who ordered you to do this?"
The man raised his head, the light in his eyes became crazy, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
He took a few breaths and said, "His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is just as they said. He knows everything!"
“It’s so scary that even the words in our hearts can be heard.”
Lin Ke had a blank expression on his face. He didn't quite understand what the other party meant at this moment.
"But for us in Egypt, there is only Egypt! There is no Holy Egypt!"
"Die! You usurper!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist.
The cold light pierced straight into Lin Ke's chest.
Lin Ke did not dodge or evade, but just watched the other party stabbed him with the dagger.
Then, in the palace hall, Master Heka flashed a golden light.
Ramses looked at Lin Ke, and Lin Ke just stared coldly into his eyes.
