Chapter 462 Giant City



In the following days, the army of Holy Egypt was unstoppable.

The cities surrounding the Hebrew Empire were taken one by one, and the vanguard of the Amazon warriors and giant elephants was unstoppable.

On this day, Marasiah was going to attack a city called Gath.

Gath was "one of the five cities of the Philistines."

The Philistines were a people active in the coastal plains of Canaan, and were known for their large-scale military conflicts with the Hebrews in the past.

These five city-states together constituted the political, cultural and military center of Philistia, and were called the "Five Cities of Philistia".

Simply put, the Philistines were once considered a small nation, but after being conquered and occupied by the Hebrew Empire, the number of this nation decreased sharply.

Few people know their stories.

And this information was told to Lin Ke by Ramses.

"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Gath City may not be easy to attack by force."

“Perhaps, you should send someone to the Holy Egypt Alliance and have Nan Tong tell the kings and leaders of Holy Egypt about this news.”

"Otherwise, the Holy Egyptian Alliance will suffer numerous losses in vain."

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Ramses."

"Does the Holy Egyptian Alliance still have the power of gods? Why do you say this?"

When Ramses heard Lin Ke's words, the golden light in his eyes flashed slightly again.

That is information he is learning about the past from his realm of omniscience.

Then, Ramses told Link that in ancient times, the city of Gath was a city with giants.

They often had disputes with the Hebrew Empire, and in the final battle, they were defeated miserably by the Hebrew Empire.

Eventually, all the giants here were controlled by the Hebrew Empire.

And Gath, one of the five Philistine cities and the city of giants, eventually became one of the forces of the Hebrew Empire.

When Lin Ke heard what the other party said, he continued to ask in confusion: "With the power of giants, how should the Hebrew Empire manage Gath?"

"Isn't it too dangerous?"

After hearing Lin Ke's words, Ramses continued to explain.

The secret lies in this, and it comes from the previous supreme king of the Hebrews.

"Gath is a land of giants, located in the lowlands of Canaan, and was famous for its giants in ancient times."

"These giants were seven to nine feet tall, strong enough to split rocks, and invulnerable to swords. They were once the Philistines' powerful weapon against the Hebrew Empire."

"And Gath, the place where the giants were born, had been at war with the Hebrew Empire for many years. The conflict continued and the flames of war spread throughout the territory of the Philistines."

"Finally, in a fateful battle, Gath was defeated and the giant army was completely controlled by the Hebrew Empire."

“And the Philistines disappeared from sight.”

Lin Ke just listened quietly. He was very interested in these giants.

After all, when the Hebrew Empire launched an aggressive war against Holy Egypt, he had never seen or heard any information about these giants.

With Ramses' introduction, Lin Ke learned that it was the previous supreme king of Hebrew who mastered the secret of Goliath's blood.

Goliath.

A nine-foot giant, a champion warrior of the Philistines,

His blood contains the primitive power of the giants.

He was immortal and was the "Eternal One" of Gath. He was revered by the Philistines in Gath as the greatest warrior.

But after the defeat of the Philistines, everything changed.

The previous Hebrew Supreme King used a secret method to obtain the blood of Goliath and made a magic potion out of his blood.

The color is like red flame and the smell is pungent.

This magic potion can grant mortals who possess Filia the body of a giant and rewrite their fate.

So the High King selected some Philistine warriors and gave them a magic potion that turned them into giants.

But these giants have no will of their own.

Although these giants have strong muscles and doubled strength.

But they were only loyal to the previous Hebrew supreme king and only obeyed the orders of the Hebrew Empire.

So they were incorporated into the legion and stationed in Gath, becoming one of the most powerful garrisons in the Hebrew Empire.

However, over the years, no army has dared to launch an attack on the Hebrew Empire, so few people know about the giants.

Therefore, Gath's defense can almost be described as impeccable, and any strong attack will be completely resolved by these giants.

Obviously, if the Holy Egyptian Alliance attacks rashly, they will suffer heavy losses in the face of the giant army because of their lack of understanding of the situation.

It might even cause the leaders and messengers of Holy Egypt to use the power of God prematurely.

However, if the power of the gods is used, it will cause loss of divine power.

That means they may not be able to be used in the next battle.

Under Lin Ke's questioning, Ramses continued to explain.

That's right, these modified giants have fatal physical flaws.

They are controlled by magic potions and rely on the mysterious power within the city of Gath.

This power is maintained by secret runes set by the Supreme King, buried deep under the city, emitting invisible power to maintain the giants' sanity and obedience.

If the giant leaves Gath, the power of the rune will be cut off and the dark side of the potion will be revealed.

They lost their minds and turned into mindless beasts with red eyes, knowing only to destroy. Although their strength remained the same, they had no wisdom.

They may even destroy their own bodies in a rage, disintegrating into dust.

Therefore, the design of the previous Supreme King was not only a military means, but also a strategic trap.

The giants were bound to Gath, forcing the enemy to fight directly against the city walls, unable to win by taking a detour.

The giants that left Gath were briefly invincible, but were able to destroy the enemy's vanguard.

But the frenzy lasted only a few hours before it self-destructed and died, leaving behind a pile of debris.

Moreover, the city of Gath itself was still guarded by the elite Hebrew magic armored troops, making it very strong and difficult to break through.

So, Ramses knew this secret, and he was well aware of the real threat posed by Gath.

If the Holy Egyptian Alliance attacks forcefully, the giant army will turn this city into a place of death.

They will pay a high price, even a price beyond their expectations.

"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, therefore, you should send a trusted confidant to inform Lord Nantong of this news."

"If the Holy Egyptian army had not approached Gath, I would not have been able to sense this information."

Obviously, Ramses' ability seems to be related to the vision of the civilization panel.

After the units in the civilization panel obtained information about the enemy city, Ramses was able to learn something from it.

At this time, Lin Ke fell into deep thought.

Obviously, to attack Gath, one must first break the runes and cut off the source of the potion's control.

Otherwise, any attack will lead to dire consequences.

But Lin Ke looked calm, he just raised his head slightly.

"You said that the giants needed the blood of Goliath..."

"Then Goliath, isn't he still alive?"
