After the succubus left, Lin Ke returned to his throne and began to think.
Now that Holy Egypt is strong, it no longer has to worry about the Hebrew Empire's army invading it.
However, the other party always holds an attitude of "If I can't live well, then you can't live well either", and harasses the development of Saint Egypt.
Just as Nan Tong wrote in the report he presented to Lin Ke.
"The Hebrew Empire actually sent the Ultimate Mage to launch an attack and assassination."
"This is a foolish move. It only proves that the Hebrew Empire is now at the end of its rope."
That’s right, just as Nan Tong said.
The Hebrew Empire is now on its last legs.
But even so, the Hebrew Empire still occupied many cities in Holy Egypt.
Lin Ke knew very well that if he wanted to maximize the rise of Holy Egypt, he had to take back those cities.
Not only that, in order to ensure the safety of Holy Egypt today, he must also find a way to investigate all the information about the Hebrew Supreme Ruler.
He couldn't let the other side successfully launch an attack on any of his cities, otherwise, it would greatly slow down the development of Holy Egypt.
We must make the most of the "Golden Age"!
Because he heard that the Greek Federation in the west had many gods.
Moreover, most of them are gods at the main god level. If it weren't for the fact that the war with Holy Egypt would cause the display to be drastically prolonged, making it impossible for their logistics to be supplied, I'm afraid they would have taken action long ago.
Not only that, Lin Ke also used the [Scout] to find out that the Greek Federation seemed to be at war with another powerful civilization at this time.
They don't have the energy to take care of Holy Egypt for the time being, so he must use this time to speed up development.
In this way, when the next era comes, Lin Ke will be able to create many more powerful buildings, wonders and armies through the civilization panel.
If technology develops smoothly, he also thought that he could allow the gods to use weapons that are beyond their time.
However, these are all things of the past.
The most important question now is how can Lin Ke maximize development and eliminate potential threats?
It is certainly unrealistic to assassinate the Supreme Ruler King.
If we declare war on the Hebrew Empire at this time and tell the people of Holy Egypt that Holy Egypt is entering a state of war, it will probably have a great impact on the development of Holy Egypt.
Because, if Lin Ke really has to weigh whether to take military action against the Hebrew Empire, he will face an unprecedentedly complex situation.
It’s not just because Holy Egypt is in an unprecedented golden age of prosperity at this time, but also because Lin Ke’s decision will trigger a series of reactions.
First of all, you should know that the rapid development of Holy Egypt today is due to several major pillars.
One is a “miracle” that can generate continuous income for Holy Egypt.
It not only provides money to Holy Egypt, but also has other benefits.
If war breaks out, the loyalty of the city of Cairo will begin to decline.
A decline will lead to a slowdown in population growth.
If it drops to a certain value, the effect of these gains will be reduced.
Second, the booming trade network will also be affected.
Today, Holy Egypt is the largest food supplier. If Lin Ke produces an army, he will definitely have a problem of food shortage.
Then, not only will trade be affected, but Lin Ke may even need to purchase from other countries.
Obviously, food is expensive nowadays, and purchasing it from other kingdoms will definitely cost extra money.
On the whole, the former brought a lot of wealth, while the latter consolidated the friendly attitude of neighboring countries towards Holy Egypt.
You know, the economic benefits brought by "miracles" are obvious.
The daily income of "Miracle" is an astronomical figure for a kingdom like Maya.
These revenues must be continuously absorbed to support a large-scale war.
But more importantly, these "miracles" established Holy Egypt's almost sacred status in the hearts of people of all countries.
At the same time, the huge trade network has also brought huge profits to the country.
Goods from various civilizations are circulated and traded in this land.
Merchants from all over the world came to trade, forming a trade alliance with Holy Egypt as its core.
Declaring war under such circumstances would inevitably lead to serious disruption of the economic order.
First, some neutral villages and merchants would likely switch sides and support the Hebrew Empire.
After all, if Holy Egypt proposed war first, other civilizations would think that Holy Egypt would also become a formidable invader after it became stronger.
That would seriously affect the image of Holy Egypt in the hearts of other civilizations, and would also damage the good reputation that Lin Ke had worked so hard to build.
Secondly, the disruption of trade channels will result in a large amount of capital outflow.
Worst of all, it would affect people’s confidence in Holy Egypt.
It may even shake the foundation of the entire country.
Once the war breaks out, Holy Egypt will face not only economic losses, but also a huge impact at the kingdom level.
For a long time, Holy Egypt has maintained its status as a great power with its unique cultural style, system of gods and the mysterious power of Linke.
The existence of "miracles" makes other countries have an almost pious attitude towards Holy Egypt.
This reverence was not only reflected in diplomatic occasions, but also permeated the consciousness structure of each kingdom.
Many kings and priests from neighboring countries had personally participated in the "miracles" of Holy Egypt and brought this awe back to their countries.
Not only that, they often implement policies that are beneficial to Holy Egypt in their own country, and even take the interests of Holy Egypt into consideration when legislating.
If war is declared on the Hebrews at this time, it will inevitably break the existing situation.
First, those forces that were originally skeptical of "miracles" will certainly take the opportunity to rise up, and they may form an anti-Holy Egypt alliance.
Secondly, the pro-Holy Egyptian factions within the kingdoms will also encounter a crisis of confidence and face the risk of being marginalized.
This is because Holy Egypt was powerful and launched an invasion. Once these two actions were linked together, they would pose a more terrifying deterrent to all civilizations.
More seriously, war could lead to a breakdown in trust in the kingdom.
There are precedents in history that when a theocracy initiates a war, it often loses its sacred aura.
Everyone will just see it as a terrifying invader.
In addition, long-term foreign trade has cultivated a group of vested interest groups.
These people included wealthy businessmen, craftsmen, port managers, and so on.
War would directly threaten their wealth and status, and these people would likely unite to oppose war.
There may even be unrest such as business strikes and transport blockades.
Therefore, even a war for the purpose of self-defense could trigger a series of chain reactions, ultimately leading to the international status and economic development that Holy Egypt had worked so hard to establish falling into trouble.
Lin Ke sat on the throne, deep in thought until midnight.
