A little further away.
The heartland of the Hebrew Empire.
There is an ancient city about thirty kilometers away from Jerusalem.
It was one of the most important cities in the Judean Mountains in ancient Hebrew times, about 30 kilometers from Jerusalem.
It occupies a central position in ancient Hebrew culture, religion and politics, is famous for the Cave of the Patriarchs, and is one of the religious and administrative centers of the Kingdom of Judah.
Hebron.
The reason why this place is famous as the Patriarch Cave is because many famous patriarchs have lived here.
Therefore, Hebron is also called the land of their ancestors by the Hebrews.
Of course, this information is obtained by combining the information from the scouts.
Some of them were learned by Lin Ke through the civilization panel.
The only thing that is certain is that this city called Hebron is very important to the Hebrews.
Just as the City of the Sun is important to Holy Egypt.
It was an important administrative and religious center of the Hebrew Empire, with merchants and pilgrims often trading olive oil, pottery, and wool.
Not only that, Hebron also managed many villages around the city.
The structure here is a layout of many villages surrounding the city.
At this time, Nan Tong was reporting outside Lin Ke's sun boat chariot, while the succubus was sitting seductively beside Lin Ke, shaking a green leaf the size of four palms to fan Lin Ke.
"...Not only that, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Hebron, hot and dry summers, mild and rainy winters."
"This period of time is a transition period from dry, hot and mild weather."
“Therefore, I, the old minister, believe that if the army can speed up, then this kind of climate will be beneficial to the performance of our Holy Egyptian soldiers.”
Lin Ke listened to Nan Tong's words and just shook his head slightly.
"You are right."
"The soldiers of Holy Egypt are better at fighting in hot climates."
"But don't forget that we are now the Holy Egyptian Alliance."
"Besides Holy Egypt, there are many allies who are not good at fighting in hot climates."
"Most of them come from the jungle, and especially Atlantis."
"They are more accustomed to fighting in wetter climates."
"So, there is no need for us to speed up the army's march."
As Lin Ke spoke, he slightly poked his head out and glanced towards the center of the Holy Egyptian Alliance army.
Just as he guessed.
Except for the soldiers of Holy Egypt, many of the other soldiers were wiping their sweat, and some were drinking water from their bottles.
Although the Atlantis soldiers were lined up in neat formation, Lin Ke could see that their faces were covered with sweat.
There may even be a risk of heat stroke.
"Look, Nantong."
"Although the army's morale is high, they can't get used to the climate here."
Lin Ke remembered very clearly that when they were in Cairo, these peoples from the rainforest and the ocean wished they could stay in yin and yang places all the time to avoid the high temperature.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is absolutely right. It is my fault for not considering it carefully."
Nan Tong lowered his head slightly to apologize to Lin Ke, while the succubus slightly increased the movement of her hands so that the wind she fanned out could also blow on the Great Sun Magician who was being scorched by the sun.
But Lin Ke was thinking of other problems at this time.
That is the source of water.
The water resources of the Hebrew Empire were not as abundant as those of Cairo.
Simply put, the water resources here are not enough to feed the entire army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Even some of the water was transported from the Philistine cities near the ocean.
Not only that, but water was also sent specially from the city of Cairo and the holy city of Egypt.
After leaving the fortress city and learning about the climate in the heart of the Hebrew Empire, Lin Ke immediately realized this problem.
The Holy Egyptian Alliance army's demand for water resources will gradually increase.
That would be a logistical challenge.
As for the king in the desert, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, he is even clearer about this.
When fighting in a semi-arid environment, water resources are the lifeblood of the army.
You know, in such an environment, soldiers need about 2-4 liters of water every day to maintain their body temperature and preserve their physical strength.
In such an environment, soldiers will increase their risk of dehydration due to sweating and their need for water will be higher.
Not to mention the giants, elephants, war horses and camels.
These are all big water users.
If the soldiers were deprived of water for several hours in such weather, they would suffer from thirst, headaches and muscle cramps.
Their combat effectiveness will be greatly affected.
After 1-2 days, severe dehydration leads to coma or even death. High temperatures accelerate this process, and the army may lose its combat effectiveness within a few days.
If the soldiers are deprived of water for too long, they may not even be able to eat.
Because their food is mostly flatbread and some bread.
Eating these things will cause their dehydration to become further aggravated, and they may even be unable to swallow their food.
Over time, let alone fighting, some soldiers may even be forced to betray the Holy Egyptian Alliance in order to survive.
Water shortage is one problem, but what Lin Ke is more wary of is that the enemy is also aware of this problem.
That is, the Holy Egyptian Alliance's demand for water resources will increase rapidly.
