"'The Great Red Dragon'?"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, what is this 'dragon'?"
"Is it some kind of red demon?"
Lin Ke and his group had already left the "Cave of Ancestors". On the way back to the city of Hebron, Nan Tong asked about Lin Ke.
Obviously, they don't have the concept of "dragon" yet.
They don't even know what the word means.
Of course, this “big red dragon” does not represent a real “dragon”.
"It is a title, just like Ahura Maz's title is the Lord of the Good World."
"The 'great red dragon' symbolizes an evil, destructive force and its deception of the world and its ambition to rule the world."
Lin Ke paused again when he said this.
Not long ago, when Lin Ke was talking to the god, the other party also mentioned this point.
However, the god did not mention the true identity of the "great red dragon".
But he told Lin Ke very carefully that if the "Big Red Dragon" descended into this world, its power would double day by day.
Eventually, its power will reach the same level as his.
Although Lin Ke was not clear about the power of that god, he could guess it to some extent.
In any case, at least it is above the Supreme God.
And just as Lin Ke said just now, the coming of this "big red dragon" may not bring the destruction of the world.
Its existence itself will cause disasters and attract the attention of the world.
Lin Ke knew without thinking that there must be more than one kingdom and civilization in the world as powerful and ambitious as the Hebrew Empire.
By then, it won't just be the Greek Federation and Persia. This continent will have to face hundreds of kingdoms and civilizations.
In this way, even if the "Big Red Dragon" is killed, the war will continue to spread on this continent.
Then Lin Ke will not be able to use the civilization panel to continue developing Holy Egypt. Perhaps even those plots of land that originally possessed excellent resources will be destroyed.
Not only that, he also had to be on guard against the many forces coming from the seaside.
Now is the golden age. Although the development speed in Holy Egypt is still rapid, he still hopes to devote more energy to his own kingdom.
Not in this strange land.
"Even if it is really that powerful, I'm afraid it is no match for our Holy Egyptian Alliance."
"The Holy Egyptian Alliance has many gods, and even two supreme gods."
"Even if this is not enough, then Saint Pharaoh, if you summon the Baphomet demon, you should be able to defeat the 'Great Red Dragon'."
"If so many powerful forces were summoned at the same time, they would probably be able to completely flatten half of the countries in the Hebrew Empire."
When Lin Ke heard Nan Tong's words, he just raised the corner of his mouth.
"War is not just about conquering with force."
"Do you remember Amon?"
"Even though the people of Saint Egypt were in an occupied enemy city, they did not surrender."
“Even if we achieve victory through military conquest, it will take a great deal of time and resources to manage and integrate the newly conquered lands and peoples.”
“This will distract us from other more important development goals.”
"Moreover, military conquest requires a lot of military resources and time, which will greatly increase the expenditure of our treasury."
"It will even hinder our development, affect the image of our Holy Egypt among other kingdoms and civilizations, and affect our trade and transactions."
Nan Tong immediately half-knelt on the ground, he realized that he was being too short-sighted.
"Moreover, now, many forces are watching secretly. They are coveting the resources and land of the Holy Egyptian Alliance."
"We must retain sufficient manpower at all times."
“You have to remember this.”
Lin Ke said this, then patted Nan Tong on the shoulder.
"Yes, I remember it!"
At this time, Lin Ke was looking at the sun in the distance, which was slowly setting towards the horizon.
The walls of Hebron have been repaired in many places.
Of course, it is certainly not as good as before. After all, it was repaired in a hurry.
But as a place for garrison, it is completely sufficient.
"Ask the leaders of the Holy Egyptian Alliance to come to my tent."
"Nantong, send a message to the rear, cancel the emergency water delivery order, and ask Kamul to increase the amount of food and fodder sent."
"Then, allocate some food and fodder. If a city lord from the Hebrew Empire comes to surrender, you will immediately send the food and fodder out."
"God of the Desert and the Nile, you continue to follow me. If you notice any unusual movement, report it to me immediately."
"The decisive battle is imminent. We must speed up and never let the last royal bloodline be used by the enemy."
"Send out scouts to find out about the royal bloodline. Anyone who can provide us with information will be rewarded handsomely!"
......
The other side.
In the city of Jerusalem.
In the lower town, several figures wrapped in ragged cloaks huddled in the shadows behind the bakery.
"Have you heard?"
An old soldier with missing front teeth looked around and spoke in a low voice.
"The Commander-in-Chief's younger brother, the black-robed Commander, was captured by the order of the Supreme Commander King himself!"
The young blacksmith apprentice just spat: "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Who doesn't know that the Commander-in-Chief is the King's brother?"
"Now is the time to use people, and he has the blood of the king, how could he be captured?"
The old soldier grabbed him by the collar, and the rancid smell of alcohol sprayed on his face: "Idiot! It's because he's my closest relative!"
He gestured at his neck with his skinny fingers: "Haven't you heard? Our king is performing a ceremony!"
"Sacrifice! Do you understand? It means to summon something from the abyss!"
The apprentice's face first became confused, and then suddenly turned pale.
He recalled that late at night three days ago, some people in the city were indeed discussing pollution.
I heard that in some places the well water has all turned into blood.
However, I haven’t heard anyone talking about these things in the past two days.
"But how is this possible?"
"Our king, are you going to summon a demon to help us?"
"Like the holy Pharaoh of holy Egypt did?"
"Where did you hear that? You better watch your words!"
"Be careful or you'll be caught!"
At this moment, the bell suddenly rang, and several people scattered like frightened mice.
But the rumor had already spread out of the alley and into the capital and every city of the Hebrew Empire.
When the next morning came, Lin Ke saw that a city on the civilization panel had turned into a "neutral state".
It no longer belonged to the Hebrew Empire.
