"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Except for the soldiers guarding the granary and responsible for logistics, all soldiers, assemble in the east of the city immediately!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has issued an order! At noon, the army will march to Jerusalem!"
It was still about two hours before noon, and the army of the Holy Egyptian Alliance in the city had already taken action.
Of course, there is a reason why Lin Ke set the date today.
Firstly, that is because the ritual sacrifice of the "Great Red Dragon" has already progressed more than halfway.
Through previous intelligence, Lin Ke learned that the "Great Red Dragon" needed the blood of five Hebrew royal families for sacrifice in order to gain power.
After he learned that the Supreme Ruler's brother, the Black-robed General of Jerusalem, had been captured, he quickly deduced the progress of the ceremony.
This black-robed general was the fourth member of the Hebrew royal family who was used for sacrifice.
The ceremony is probably still in progress, and after the fifth royal member is sacrificed, the "Great Red Dragon" demon will awaken all his power.
Simply put, it was like the demon Baphomet coming into this world in his true form.
Therefore, even though strange phenomena have appeared in the land of Holy Egypt and there are still many problems in the newly occupied cities, Lin Ke can only put them aside for now.
He must now focus all his energy on attacking Jerusalem.
The second reason is that City Lord David will bring back news for Lin Ke this morning.
He was ordered by Lin Ke to contact other members of the Society of Light.
To put it simply, the entire Society of Illuminati is required to provide assistance to the Holy Egyptian Alliance in secret.
In particular, there are two cities that have clearly stated that they will remain loyal to the empire.
Lin Ke needs the Society of Light to find a way to incite their city lord to rebel, or have other Hebrew cities that have turned against them provide troops to prevent them from rushing to Jerusalem's rescue.
Otherwise, the Holy Egyptian Alliance would need to expend additional manpower to defend the north.
But that didn't fit in with Lin Ke's plan.
Because the Holy Egyptian Alliance is now launching a siege. Although it can completely cut off Jerusalem's resource supply, it also makes the Holy Egyptian Alliance's front line somewhat weak.
It's like stretching a piece of kneaded dough.
The longer you stretch it, the thinner and smaller the dough will be.
And this is the current battle line of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
That would only cut off Jerusalem's supply of materials, but it would be unrealistic to attack Jerusalem in this way.
To attack a city, you need to concentrate your strength, not disperse it.
As for the third point, Lin Ke predicted that according to the way the "Big Red Dragon" acted, the third "disaster" was likely to come.
"Disaster" is closely connected with the ritual of the "great red dragon".
The first sacrifice was to summon the "great red dragon" itself, which did not cause any disaster.
But after the appearance of the "great red dragon", every sacrifice will trigger a disaster of enormous scale.
Rain disaster and blood disaster.
If the fourth sacrifice is completed, "disaster" will most likely follow.
Therefore, Lin Ke must now lead the army to the front line and then decide on a method to attack the city.
But he knew that attacking Jerusalem would not be easier than he had imagined.
Just like the holy city of Cairo in Egypt, the capital of the Hebrew Empire was populated by the empire's elite.
Just like Nan Tong and Ramses are stationed in Cairo, and the Holy Egyptian soldiers in Cairo have the strongest combat capabilities.
Although the Holy Egyptian Alliance now has advantages in the number of gods, military strength, and logistical support, Lin Ke must also act with caution.
Because time is running out and the Holy Egyptian Alliance is facing tremendous offensive pressure.
If this continues, the power of the “big red dragon” will grow stronger day by day.
Otherwise, Jerusalem, without logistical supplies, would now almost have become a deserted city.
If the siege lasts for ten days or half a month, the morale and combat level of the defenders in the city will drop rapidly.
It’s a pity that there is not much time left for the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, all the documents have been packed."
The servants had already packed up all the papyrus and Lin Ke's clothes.
They had even cleaned Lin Ke's body and rearranged her clothes and makeup.
"Very good, move them all away."
Lin Ke simply ordered the servants to take away the collected things, and then his attention shifted to the civilization panel.
The time agreed with David is almost here.
He also noticed that there was a small dot in the city that was approaching him at a fast speed.
Sure enough, when Lin Ke looked in the direction where the small dot was moving, he saw a familiar figure.
Even though he was wearing a long robe, Lin Ke could recognize him at a glance.
Afterwards, Lin Ke just waved his hand and ordered all the servants and soldiers around him to retreat, leaving only Ramses beside Lin Ke.
At this time, the man in the robe lifted the brim of his hat that covered half of his face, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Great Lord of Light! I, your humble servant, come to pay homage to you!"
Lin Ke raised his head slightly, motioning for the other party to continue.
"Lord of Light, I have completed all the tasks you requested!"
"We have sent someone to assassinate one of the city lords and nominated a member of our Society of Light to replace him."
"As for the other city, although the assassination plan failed, we still have several high-ranking officials serving in the city."
"The army will not obey the orders of that city lord."
“If the city lord insists on reinforcing Jerusalem, a civil war will break out in the city first.”
"Lord of Light, please rest assured that no troops from Jerusalem's outer cities will come to Jerusalem's aid."
The expression and tone of City Lord David showed a kind of confidence and certainty.
Obviously, after the "disappearance" of the Supreme Ruler, the supreme power of the entire empire has been quietly divided into the hands of the Society of Light.
This is very beneficial for Lin Ke, as it means that he will hardly think too much about external reinforcements.
"You did great, David."
"The 'all-seeing eye' can see through everything."
"I have confirmed what you just said."
The "All-Seeing Eye" is one of the symbols of his identity as the "Lord of Light".
That's the pattern on his arm.
The "All-Seeing Eye" means that Lin Ke can "monitor" and "see through" the actions of all members of the Society of Illuminati.
Of course, that was not something Lin Ke could really see, but he did learn about it from the civilization panel.
There was a city that had indeed become "neutral" as David had said.
Its attitude towards Holy Egypt is no longer "hostile".
When David heard Lin Ke's words, his expression trembled slightly.
"Our loyalty is witnessed by the sun and the moon, Lord of Light!"
