Fortress city.
night.
The battlefield, which had been filled with deafening fighting, had finally quieted down.
The soldiers of the Holy Egyptian League fell asleep in groups of two or three, leaning against the wall.
The removed armor piled up into a small hill, covered with dried blood and dust.
Of course, this is mainly because the war between gods not long ago has raised the temperature here a lot.
Even when Lin Ke walked into the fortress city, he felt it was very hot.
"Have all the soldiers of the Holy Egyptian Alliance rested?"
Lin Ke called Nan Tong at this time. He was talking about the battle with the leaders of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Nan Tong was wearing an orange robe, and there was a flame-like color in his eyes that never faded.
Lin Ke guessed that it might be one of the symbols of the Sun Magician.
After all, Nan Tong is probably invincible now.
Even gods of lower powers could not defeat this sun magician.
Even Lin Ke could feel that Nan Tong's aura was completely different from that of the Full Moon Magician.
If there were no gods, whoever owned Nantong would own the world.
Nan Tong came to Lin Ke and knelt down slowly with respect.
Like a devout believer, he made a sound.
"Return to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"All the soldiers of Holy Egypt are resting."
"I have already deployed additional soldiers around the fortress, and I will remain vigilant at all times to prevent the enemy from attacking at night."
After hearing Nan Tong's words, Lin Ke just nodded with satisfaction.
He could feel that after experiencing this "death", Nan Tong had undergone some changes.
Of course, it's about good changes.
He seemed to become more stable and more "divine".
In other words, emotions have become slightly indifferent, but that is only true for people other than Lin Ke.
But this is not the case for Lin Ke.
Towards His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Nan Tong remains the same as before.
Loyal and respectful.
Lin Ke walked out of the city’s parliament hall and saw that the soldiers had already taken a rest.
Some people used broken shields as pillows and snored loudly.
Some were stacked in a mess, with their chests rising and falling regularly.
Of course, after such a battle, all the warriors of the Holy Egyptian Alliance felt very tired.
"Nantong, tell the cooks to speed up."
"After conquering the fortress city, we must reward our soldiers well."
Nan Tong took the order and retreated immediately.
Soon, smoke began to rise from all corners of the fortified city.
The cooks used the captured cauldrons to cook a stew filled with meat, dried vegetables and unknown tubers.
In addition, there are stacks of thick pancakes that have already been made.
The aroma wafted around, attracting some tired soldiers to gather around.
"Is there anything to eat?"
"Ah! His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh must have ordered the cook to prepare delicious food!"
"Let's go over and take a look!"
They passed the chipped earthenware bowl around, and only when the boiling hot soup slid down their throats would someone let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Afterwards, the soldiers' eyes became slightly moist.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh..."
"Only when His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is here can we eat these delicious foods..."
"Even in the city of the Hebrew Empire, we can taste the taste of home..."
In the stables of the fortress city, the war horses and camels of Holy Egypt were chewing the rare fresh grass.
It was sent by a Nubian caravan.
When the Nubian caravan returned, they sped back at almost twice the speed they had arrived.
Because they have heard the news that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has "resurrected".
"You mean, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has been resurrected?"
"He returned from the underworld and defeated the God of Holy Fire!"
"Ah! We must take this news back immediately!"
"All caravans must be informed of this news!"
"If His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh were still alive and had conquered the Fortress City..."
"Then you will be able to attack Jerusalem soon!"
The Nubian caravan just said a few words, unloaded all the supplies, and left immediately.
Not only that, they also told the soldiers of Holy Egypt that they would send more supplies to help the Holy Egypt Alliance travel to the capital of the Hebrew Empire more smoothly.
After they left, Lin Ke told the Nubian soldiers who received them to give this to them the next time they saw them.
The soldiers knelt on the ground and took what Lin Ke gave them, which was a small bag of gold coins.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal after Lin Ke returned.
The soldiers in the city no longer felt the urgency and danger.
They knew that as long as His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was there, the Holy Egyptian Alliance would be invincible.
At this time, at the corner of the city wall, several young soldiers were sitting around a campfire sharing a pot of mead.
The wine swayed in the stoneware cups, reflecting their dusty faces that were filled with the joy of victory.
"To the great Holy Pharaoh! To victory!"
"This time, we must attack Jerusalem and let those people of the Hebrew Empire know what it feels like to be invaded!"
“That’s right!”
Then, someone began to hum a folk tune from his hometown, and the hoarse voice attracted more people to respond.
On the other side of the fortress city, in the doctor's tent, candles were brightly lit.
The doctors were running out of linen and were tearing off their last clean shirts to bandage the wounded.
The Amazon warriors carefully applied herbs on the wounds of the wounded.
Peace and tranquility.
The twinkling lights of the fortress city merge into one with the stars in the sky.
The soldiers of the Holy Egyptian Alliance began talking about their great Holy Pharaoh.
No one knows how he came back from the underworld.
But there are always people who say that the Holy Pharaoh has awakened Osiris, the god of the underworld.
Because they saw Nan Tong's rebirth.
The morale of the Holy Egyptian Alliance was boosted by Lin Ke's return.
But just as Lin Ke and the leaders were discussing the next attack plan, Nan Tong walked into the parliament hall again.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
"The soldiers who were out on patrol found the city lord, Joshua, tied up on the side of the road."
At this time, Malacia heard Nan Tong's words and immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, Joshua was cunning and dangerous. He had already escaped from the fortress city, so why was he tied up and left on the roadside?"
"Master Nantong, besides this, are there any other abnormalities?"
Nan Tong continued: "There are also the bodies of several Hebrew warriors."
When Lin Ke heard Nan Tong's words, he just raised his head slightly.
"Bring him here."
