"Are you pregnant?"
The warrior of the Holy Egyptian Alliance frowned and said.
His expression looked a little fierce.
For a pregnant woman who came alone to receive the bread with her head wrapped in a headscarf, it was very terrifying.
She almost cried as she said, "Yes, yes, sir."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. I'm...leaving now!"
The pregnant woman had completely forgotten about getting food. She only wanted to leave here alive.
She wanted to stand up, but it was obviously difficult to do so relying solely on her own strength.
Unexpectedly, a pair of hands reached out and held her arms.
She turned her head and saw that it was the warrior from the Holy Egyptian Alliance who had frowned at her just now.
"ah--"
She cried out unconsciously, and the soldier simply waved to his companion who was guarding the box nearby.
The companions immediately understood, and they took out a pottery jar from the box and trotted it over.
Then, the soldier brought two bread cakes, one of which was for the pregnant woman, and the other was for the man who had just snatched her bread.
"These are for you."
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has ordered that all pregnant women can receive an extra jar of honey."
The pregnant woman opened her eyes wide and just watched the other person put all these things into her arms.
"Sir...How dare I accept such a valuable item!"
"I dare not, I dare not!"
“This, this…”
The warrior of the Holy Egyptian Alliance ignored the words of the pregnant woman.
"Take it, Hebrew."
"This is the order of our great, loving, and respected Holy Pharaoh!"
"If you don't want it, just give it to someone else!"
After hearing what the soldier said, the pregnant woman quickly leaned forward to express her gratitude. She even forgot that she was pregnant.
"No! No! How can I bear to give such a precious thing to others!"
"I want to save it for when the baby is born, and save it for...for the baby to drink!"
"Thank you, sir! I am grateful, grateful!"
Her breathing became very rapid, it was surprise and joy.
She was even trembling with excitement. After all, she had never tasted anything like honey in her life.
Or, given her status, she might never have the chance to eat it in her lifetime.
In Hebrew culture, women's status is lower than that of men.
Not to mention this pregnant woman who has no husband or elderly parents.
And when the warrior of the Holy Egyptian Alliance saw the glowing eyes of the people around him, he just shouted loudly.
"I'll say it again!"
“The city of Bethlehem is now governed as the city of Holy Egypt!”
"Anyone who steals, robs, cheats, or kills will be severely punished!"
"In serious cases, we will behead them in public!"
As soon as the warrior's words came out, the rows of eyes that were looking at the pottery jars, with dangerous light flashing in them, showed signs of convergence.
However, after a while, the warriors of the Holy Egyptian Alliance captured several women disguised as pregnant women.
They just filled their stomachs with something, but their wandering eyes were immediately caught by the warriors and they were captured.
There were even men who dressed up as pregnant women to collect the honey.
Obviously, in order to get the honey, these guys are willing to risk being thrown into jail or even losing their heads.
Not only that, there were also cases where soldiers discovered that someone came to collect it twice.
But without exception, all those guys who committed fraud were taken to jail by the soldiers.
It was not until nightfall that all the people in the city received their food, but there was still a lot of bread left.
In the shadow of the city wall, two Hebrew soldiers on night watch were looking at the boxes of bread from a distance.
The younger one licked his cracked lips.
"Isn't that..."
"Will the Saint Law Master turn people into zombies?"
"If we eat their bread, will we become like that?"
"Is this Saint Pharaoh really so kind?"
The other older soldier didn't answer, but he first hit the young soldier hard on the head.
"Would you rather suffer from hunger or from zombies?"
“Can the suffering of death still be considered suffering?”
"You don't even think about it carefully..."
The older soldier paused again.
"Never mind, you are still young."
"But I can tell you that I have worked for the Empire for such a long time, and I have sacrificed half my life."
"But I have never eaten bread of such high quality!"
"This is something that only generals are qualified to eat!"
"You ignorant thing, come here, if you are afraid of becoming a zombie, give me your share too!"
"When I become a zombie, I'll be the first one to eat you!"
The younger soldier just quickly hid the bread in his arms and then laughed a few times.
"How can that be possible! I am your apprentice, and you will never become a lonely zombie!"
After saying that, the younger soldier quickly took a big bite of the bread.
The older soldier just smiled when he heard this, then slapped his apprentice on the head.
"You little bastard!"
They looked around at the other Hebrew soldiers who were holding bread and taking a bite only after a while, chatting and smiling, and they were not affected by them.
The older Hebrew soldiers sighed softly.
“It’s incredible.”
"During the day, we were still making plans to ambush Saint Pharaoh's troops."
"I am even ready to die here."
"As long as it is to defend the New Hebrew, I will not hesitate even if it means sacrificing my life."
Having said that, he looked at the bread in his hand.
The younger soldier did not notice the change in his gaze; he just nodded vigorously to show his agreement.
"Yes, as long as it is for the New Hebrew, I will do whatever it takes!"
"Holy Pharaoh, don't think you can get rid of us with just a piece of bread!"
The older soldiers did not speak.
He looked at the pancake and was silent for a long time.
Just then, they heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.
There was the sound of tables and chairs colliding, and a woman's voice getting louder and louder.
With a scream of "Ah——", they stood up unconsciously.
"What happened?"
"Ah, I see!"
The younger soldier immediately opened his eyes wide and smiled triumphantly.
"It must be a conspiracy of the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Did his people do it, or is this bread really poisonous?"
