"You said that the giants needed the blood of Goliath..."
"Then Goliath, isn't he still alive?"
When Ramses heard Lin Ke's words, his eyes flashed with golden light slightly.
"Brother, it is true."
“The probability of this possibility existing is extremely high.”
"After all, as long as Goliath is alive, the Hebrew Empire can indeed use his blood to create a powerful giant guard army."
"Giant can only be used for defense, not offense."
"So, as long as the army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance does not launch a reckless attack, there will be no losses."
After hearing what Ramses said, Lin Ke nodded.
That's true.
Gath was both the lair of giants and one of the five cities of the Philistines.
Its invincible army of giants is controlled by a magic potion from the Hebrew Supreme King, and will turn into mindless beasts if they leave the city.
If they attack Gath by force, the Holy Egyptian Alliance will pay a heavy price, and the Canaan lowlands will be stained with blood.
Even if we capture this city, it will probably greatly affect the subsequent offensive plans.
Now they have not yet attacked the core area of the Hebrew Empire, so they cannot allow the Holy Egyptian Alliance to suffer a significant increase in casualties at this time.
Perhaps, the Holy Egyptian Alliance can bypass the Philistine cities?
Ignore cities such as Gath, Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Ekron, and take a detour to attack the core cities of the Hebrew Empire.
Jerusalem.
That was the capital of the Hebrew Empire.
If Jerusalem is defeated and the supreme ruler of the Hebrews is killed, the rule of the Hebrew Empire will collapse.
So, Lin Ke lowered his head, and his thoughts unfolded in his brain like a chessboard.
As long as they could bypass the five Philistine cities, they might be able to catch the enemy by surprise and attack the core of the enemy while avoiding the threat of the giants.
Then, Lin Ke opened the civilization panel.
He surveyed the neighborhood and the plot of land.
He found that he didn't have many choices.
If the Philistine cities were not captured, the army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance would have only two options.
One is to cross the mountains of Canaan by land, and the other is to advance by sea along the Mediterranean Sea.
The mountain paths are rugged and the cliffs are continuous, making it difficult to transport food and fodder, which will also cause the Holy Egyptian army to move slowly.
That would have made them vulnerable to an ambush by the Hebrew enemies.
Once discovered, the Holy Egyptian Army would be in danger again, and might even be faced with a dilemma.
Lin Ke knew the serious consequences of wrong command.
If the army of Holy Egypt were allowed to enter the mountains, it would be difficult for them to exert their advantages.
There is even the possibility of being surrounded or seriously injured.
Just as the Hebrew Empire attacked many kingdoms.
The Hebrew Empire was clearly the dominant party, but they divided their forces into several parts.
In the end, all of one's advantages disappeared completely.
Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Ke to allow the army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance to enter the mountains.
Another option is to go by sea.
Although the sea route is relatively easy, it is very dependent on the fleet.
Not only that, logistical supplies must also rely on ports.
The Philistine coastal cities such as Gaza and Ashkelon controlled the sea routes.
Although he could send out [galleys], he also faced another problem.
logistics.
Simply put, if we choose to travel by sea, this operation will become a surprise attack.
All battles will revolve around quick attacks and completing combat objectives in the shortest time possible.
But the current situation is not like this.
The army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance requires strong logistics to provide a steady supply.
One of the manifestations of Holy Egypt's power today is not just the gods, not just the army, and not just the prosperity of the city.
But it’s the logistics of Holy Egypt.
Today, Holy Egypt has become an "oligarchy" of many resources, which means that on this continent, Holy Egypt has the highest output of certain materials.
Especially food.
In other words, logistics is one of the advantages that Holy Egypt has over the Hebrew Empire, and it is an irreplaceable and powerful advantage.
If we do not take advantage of this and instead launch a surprise attack by sea, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Therefore, logistics is the lifeblood of the Holy Egyptian Alliance today.
Lin Ke knew very well that although the army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance was very powerful, it was not invincible.
If Gath is not conquered, its army of giants and the elite Philistines can attack at any time and threaten the flank of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Even if we take a detour by sea, there is no way to provide logistics or any help.
Therefore, if other Philistine cities are not pacified, they will also tie down the forces of the Holy Egyptian Alliance and disperse the offensive of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Although taking a detour avoided a direct bloody battle, it pushed the logistics to the brink of collapse!
The difficulty of the mountains and sea routes is far beyond imagination.
As long as food and grass are cut off for one day, the "sharpness" of the Holy Egyptian Alliance will be immediately affected.
You know, Kamul has now built up logistics to the border between Holy Egypt and the Hebrew Empire.
In just one day, thousands of kilograms of food and fodder entered the Hebrew Empire and supplied the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Therefore, this detour method is absolutely not feasible.
But the current situation is that we can neither attack nor defend.
Or, surround the other party?
This is indeed a solution, but it would give enemies lurking in the dark an opportunity to take advantage.
You know, after the Holy Egyptian army left the territory of Holy Egypt, Lin Ke observed on the civilization panel that there were many small red dots wandering around the border of Holy Egypt.
Obviously, those were the scouts sent by the enemy to investigate and gather information.
Lin Ke also learned about the current complicated situation from these clues.
There has been no news yet from the war between Persia and the Greek Federation.
If the Greek Federation wins, they will certainly send their elites to this continent again.
When Lin Ke bought the giant elephant from the Persian caravan, he already knew that the Greek Federation had many gods.
If Linke had not learned the news that the Greek Federation was at war with Persia, he would never have implemented the plan to attack the Hebrew Empire.
Obviously, there seems to be only one way for Lin Ke now.
That was the capture of Gath.
However, we don’t have to occupy all of them…
As long as Nan Tong and the succubus can sneak into the city when the war begins, it will be enough.
He felt that as long as the war began, the Hebrews would certainly make more potions and let the Philistines drink them to provide a continuous supply of powerful fighting power.
And then, there was an opportunity.
So, thinking of this, Lin Ke just looked at Ramses, the god of the desert and the Nile River, standing beside him.
Lin Ke spoke slowly at this time.
"Ramesses, I need you to do something."
“You can’t say no.”
