Lin Ke picked up the golden scorpion, untied the linen wrapped around it, and carefully identified the words written in blood.
The handwriting seemed a bit hasty and sloppy, as if it said something like "When the enemy attacks, don't be afraid of magic."
He frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Kamul: "What does it mean by 'enemies who are not afraid of magic'?"
Of course, Lin Ke could roughly guess that perhaps an army capable of defending against magic was heading towards Memphis or Holy Egypt.
It's not good news anyway.
Kamul lowered his head, trying his best to control his breathing, and said in a deep voice: "That is a very special troop in the Hebrew Army - the Magic Shield Soldiers."
Hearing Kamul's words, Lin Ke leaned forward slightly.
"Go on."
"Rumor has it that they wear heavy obsidian magic-resistant armor. This armor can absorb most magical damage and even bounce some of the magical energy back to the caster."
"Decades ago, the Hebrews used these magic shield soldiers to conquer a country called the Hittites."
"Hati?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Ke's eyes.
"Hatthi is located on the edge of the old territory of the Hebrew Empire. Although its territory is small, it is rich in rare minerals that are used to refine magic wands and spellcasting materials, so it attracts many magicians to settle down."
"Although their country is small, their magic power is very strong. Even an ordinary citizen may have the strength of a great magician."
"But the Hebrews broke through their defenses in just a few months. The magical forces that were supposed to be indestructible were as weak as cotton in front of the magic shield soldiers."
There was a hint of uneasiness in Kamul's tone.
He took a deep breath and continued, "I heard that even if the Grand Mage Legion used all their strength, they couldn't even make a single scratch on their armor."
"The only ones who can cause a little damage to these magic shield soldiers are the Ultimate Mages. But even with many Ultimate Mages, they can only leave a few more burn marks on their armor, which has almost no impact on the battle situation."
"Such a powerful armor? What materials is it made of?" Lin Ke continued to ask.
In his opinion, if an area where this material can be mined is found in the future, it would greatly enhance the strength of the army!
"It is said that it is a special alloy mixed with black iron and ambergris, and forged with some unique secret method," Kamul added.
"This material naturally has the ability to absorb and rebound magic. The more powerful the magic, the more it will 'swallow' and the more violent the rebound."
At this time, Nan Tong also walked quickly into the palace. His face was serious, and it was obvious that he had heard what Kamul had just said.
"Nantong, as a star magician who is higher than the Ultimate Mage, can you resist this special army of Hebrew?"
You know, the power exerted by the Star Magician can defeat hundreds or thousands of enemy troops in an instant.
The magic power of the Star Magician is extremely pure. Not only can he cast a variety of powerful spells, but he can also use spells continuously without being exhausted. If you have a Star Magician on the battlefield, you will have an overwhelming advantage in both attack and defense.
"Even if I use my most powerful Egyptian secret technique, I can only cause minor injuries to them."
"Even if we gather all the magicians of Holy Egypt to fight against it, it will be in vain."
"If this army reaches Holy Egypt, our magic will be like a hurricane hitting a rock, and it will be of little use. I'm afraid only the gods of the desert and the Nile can repel them."
Hearing this, Lin Ke lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.
Even the strongest star magician can only cause minor damage to the shield soldier's armor?
He turned to look at Kamul and found that sweat was oozing from Kamul's forehead and his breathing had become much more rapid.
Even Kamul, who was always calm and composed, was overwhelmed by this sudden news.
After all, Holy Egypt's powerful military force relies heavily on the magical support of [Master Heka], and the equipment of Holy Egypt's ordinary soldiers is simply incomparable to that of the Hebrew troops.
"Once this force arrives, Holy Egypt will be in dire straits again." Kamul whispered, "Moreover, the only way we can fight it right now is to use the power of God."
"In this case, the [military camp] and [farm] built by the Holy Pharaoh may be destroyed."
Even Nan Tong took a step forward.
"If they really reach the vicinity of Holy Egypt, we will completely lose all news from the outside world. When the Hebrew messenger of God returns again, Holy Egypt will be in danger!"
After hearing the words of the two old ministers, Lin Ke continued to think.
This force is almost invincible in the large area outside the city of Holy Egypt.
If they completely defend Holy Egypt, even the [Scouts] will probably have nowhere to go.
There is even the risk of being captured or even killed.
But Lin Ke needs these plots of land around Cairo for development, but he cannot summon the god of the desert and the Nile every time he encounters such danger, as that would consume a lot of the god's power.
Although the power of the God of the Desert and the Nile comes from Stonehenge, it is not infinite. If it is used too much, the power will take time to recover.
Nan Tong and Kamul had beads of sweat on their foreheads at this time. They knew very well that this army was simply the "natural enemy" of Holy Egypt.
Lin Ke sat in the center of the hall, his expression still as calm as usual.
Nan Tong and Kamul looked at the Holy Pharaoh sitting high on the throne with solemn expressions.
"alright."
He raised his hand, signaling the two ministers to calm down.
"Don't worry, just go about your daily business."
"Nantong will continue to train Master Heka, and Kamul will focus on training the soldiers."
"What happened today must not be spread out, lest panic spreads throughout the city."
His tone was steady, with hardly a trace of fluctuating emotions in his voice, and his unquestionable tone made the two dare not say any more.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Nan Tong blinked slowly after hearing the words of the Saint Pharaoh.
His hands hung at his sides. The palms that were clenched just now were now loosened, and even the wrinkles between his brows smoothed out. His steps as he turned and left seemed to be lighter.
After all, Nan Tong had already witnessed the abilities of the Saint Pharaoh, and after hearing what the Saint Pharaoh said, he knew that there was a solution to this problem.
But Kamul still looked solemn, and there seemed to be some doubt between his brows.
After they left, Lin Ke opened the civilization panel.
Since the enemy's army can defend against magic, then...
Wouldn't it be okay if we didn't use magic?
He looked at the projects under research and found that [Animal Husbandry] could be completed tomorrow.
As long as he completes the research on the technology [Wheel], Lin Ke will be able to build a new unit.
A very powerful unit with a very long range and no need for magic.
[Mariano Chariot Shooter].
