After Lin Ke gave the order, Nan Tong finally turned around and left reluctantly.
To Nan Tong now, Lin Ke is more than just the king he is loyal to.
He has now become Nan Tong's savior.
Moreover, Nan Tong was transformed from a dead person into a living person.
Being able to break through the limits of life and death has almost surpassed everyone's understanding of life and death.
Even, the understanding of the Holy Pharaoh.
If a few people in the Holy Egyptian Alliance still had doubts about the identity of the Holy Pharaoh in the past, now they all completely believe that the Holy Pharaoh is a god.
In fact, it is far superior to gods and is a great existence that even gods have to submit to.
They now truly believe that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is some kind of "god" that transcends all gods.
These are certainly good for Lin Ke, but they are not the most important.
Right now, the most important thing is how to kill the Supreme Ruler King.
Today, the Holy Egyptian Alliance has captured the fortress city, which is equivalent to knocking on the door to the heartland of the Hebrew Empire.
The road ahead is mostly flat, which is also conducive to the deployment and performance of the Holy Egyptian Alliance army.
However, there are now many more factors that Lin Ke needs to consider.
That is what to do with the fortress city that has been conquered.
Although the civilization panel shows that the Fortress City is already under the occupation of the Holy Egyptian Alliance, the loyalty of this city is unprecedentedly low.
There are still a few people from the Hebrew Empire in the city, although there are no more than a thousand of them, but if they are to be prevented from launching a rebellion, Lin Ke will naturally need to allocate some troops to stay behind.
You know, there is only one route into the Hebrew heartland from the southeast.
In other words, if the Holy Egyptian Alliance army heads to the heartland of the Hebrew Empire, the Fortress City will become the new logistics center.
To be more precise, this may be the last logistics center that the Holy Egyptian Alliance needs to establish to launch an offensive.
The food and fodder for Holy Egypt was transported from Cairo, across the border, and first to the five cities of Philistia.
Then, they came to the fortress city from the five cities of Philistine, and finally from the fortress city to the war front of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
This is a very long journey, and if something goes wrong in any of the cities along the way, it will be extremely dangerous for the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Not to mention, the fortress city serves as the last logistics center.
Therefore, how to deal with the fortress city is the problem that Lin Ke needs to decide now.
In the civilization panel, after occupying the city, Lin Ke will face three choices.
The first is to turn the occupied city into a "neutral city-state".
After Lin Ke occupies a city in the civilization panel, he can transform it into a "neutral" force.
Take this fortress city of the Hebrew Empire for example. If it is transformed into a "neutral city-state", it means that it belongs neither to Holy Egypt nor to the Hebrew Empire.
It will exist here as a brand new "force".
Of course, Lin Ke can conquer it again through "culture" or "force".
But Lin Ke’s “journey” is far from as simple as imagined.
Because, in Civilization 6, once a civilization launches a war and occupies the cities of other civilizations or kingdoms, other civilizations or kingdoms will regard you as an "invader."
That would trigger "diplomatic penalties."
That would cause other civilizations to have a worse attitude toward Holy Egypt. Some civilizations that have good relations with Holy Egypt might become "dissatisfied" with Holy Egypt's diplomatic attitude.
Even some civilizations that are already "dissatisfied" with Holy Egypt may even directly "declare war" on Holy Egypt.
Not only that, it would also cause many civilizations and kingdoms to refuse to open their borders to Holy Egypt and refuse to trade resources and establish trade routes with it.
The most serious consequence would be that all civilizations would unite and launch an attack on it.
Simply put, it is like swapping the positions of Holy Egypt and the Hebrew Empire.
Holy Egypt will become the "aggressor".
"Diplomatic punishment" will be divided into five levels based on specific behaviors, and the level of "punishment" will gradually increase.
When war is declared without reason.
When there is no excuse for war, capture a city.
When two cities were captured.
When the city was burned down.
Simply put, if there is no excuse for war, and if more than two cities are occupied and burned down, they will be "surrounded and beaten" by almost all civilizations.
Just like the Hebrew Empire was attacked by many civilizations before.
However, the Hebrew Empire was still very powerful at that time, so the counterattacks of other civilizations were of no concern to it.
As a rule of thumb, Lin Ke's attack on the Fortress City would naturally trigger "diplomatic punishment".
But he already had a plan for this.
First of all, because the Hebrew Empire still occupied the cities of Holy Egypt, when Lin Ke led the Holy Egypt Alliance to counterattack, the punishment he would receive would be reduced by 50%.
Therefore, Lin Ke has not suffered any "diplomatic punishment" now.
The allies within the Holy Egypt Alliance have, in a sense, almost surpassed the allies, so their relationship with Holy Egypt has not been affected.
After all, they came together with Lin Ke to attack the Hebrew Empire and were on the same boat.
In other words, if Holy Egypt is regarded as an enemy by other unknown civilizations, then the Holy Egypt Alliance will also become their enemy.
What Lin Ke wanted to avoid was the consecutive capture of three cities of the Hebrew Empire.
What he had captured before was actually a Philistine city, but the Philistines were now loyal to the Holy Egyptian Alliance, so it was not counted.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this fortress city was the first city that Lin Ke conquered.
At most, he can attack two more.
Beyond the third city, an "anti-war emergency" could be triggered.
That would lead to joint action from the international community, and they would unite to deal with Holy Egypt.
Because they will regard Holy Egypt as a "powerful, threatening and terrorist invader."
Lin Ke doesn't want to be an enemy of the world now, so next, he must make a good plan and make Jerusalem the primary target as much as possible.
Otherwise, even if he defeated this Hebrew power, he would become a powerful country in the eyes of others.
He didn't want that. All he wanted to do was to develop Holy Egypt peacefully and steadily.
Therefore, taking all factors into consideration, it is impossible for Lin Ke to turn the Fortress City into a "neutral city-state".
It is also impossible to "burn down" the fortress city.
Then, Lin Ke only has one choice left.
Leaving the fortress city.
