Lin Ke sat on the high platform, overlooking everything in front of him.
The soldiers ate happily, the people were immersed in laughter, and even the priests who were usually serious showed a rare look of joy and relaxation as they tasted food they had never seen before.
His goal has been achieved.
Today's celebration is not only to celebrate the victory of Holy Egypt, but more importantly, to allow everyone to thoroughly wash away the fatigue brought by war and work.
A day of rituals, dancing and singing had purified people's souls, and this feast had rejuvenated their bodies.
The soldiers regained their fighting spirit, the people felt the blessing of the Pharaoh, and the whole of Holy Egypt was unprecedentedly united at this moment.
Not only that, new changes also appeared on Lin Ke’s civilization panel.
"Cairo City Loyalty +20."
Lin Ke's eyes flashed slightly.
In Civilization 6, each city has a "loyalty" value, which represents the sense of belonging and stability of the people in the city to the current civilization.
Loyalty usually ranges from 0 to 100, and the value affects the stability of the city and the firmness of the rule.
If loyalty continues to decrease, or even drops to 0, the city will rebel, become a "free city-state", and no longer be ruled by any civilization.
If a city's loyalty continues to decline and there is another powerful city nearby, the city may even automatically rebel and defect to the other civilization!
Just like in reality, if a country is poorly governed and the people lose trust in their rulers, and there is a stronger and richer country nearby, then the people of this country may begin to yearn for the other country, and even eventually turn to that country.
The more the city's loyalty decreases, the faster it will be affected, and eventually it will automatically submit to the new ruler without even a war.
Simply put, if loyalty is low, the city may "jump ship" to someone else, or even be taken away by the enemy without any effort.
The benefits of high loyalty are that cities will not rebel easily, rule will be more stable, and various indicators such as culture, productivity, and economy will be more stable.
In other words, the higher the loyalty, the more stable your city will be. You can even use high loyalty to oppress enemy cities and make them turn against you automatically.
After this celebration, the loyalty of Cairo city directly increased by 20 points!
This made the loyalty of Saint Egypt, which already had a high loyalty, approach 100, reaching an extremely high level of 98.
Of course, Lin Ke was not surprised by this.
Celebrations are the most direct and effective means of "enhancing loyalty". They not only improve people's sense of happiness, but also enhance their sense of belonging to the city, making people more loyal to the Pharaoh's rule.
And tonight's feast made all the people of Holy Egypt deeply feel the kindness and greatness of the Holy Pharaoh.
The loyalty of the city of Cairo was already stable, but after this feast, it has reached an unprecedented height.
The city's production, culture and military development will be smoother, and there is no need to worry about internal instability.
As long as the loyalty is high enough, it means that rebellion will be almost impossible in the future, and the production, culture, and military development in the city will proceed smoothly. Even if the war spreads, the core of Holy Egypt will not be shaken.
The increase in loyalty means that Lin Ke can focus more on the battlefield in future battles without having to worry about the land behind him being infiltrated by external forces.
In the ongoing conflict with the Hebrews, his attention no longer had to be distracted by civil unrest and instability, but he could devote all his energy to the front line and develop a bolder strategy.
He does not have to worry that the people behind him will be shaken by the influence of the enemy while he is fighting.
The night was quiet, but the palace was still brightly lit.
As Lin Ke stepped into the hall, the servants immediately stepped forward to take off his cloak. The smoke of incense slowly rose in the air, carrying a faint scent of frankincense and myrrh, which made people relax unconsciously.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to leave, then walked straight to the throne on the platform and sat down. The gold-decorated armrests were slightly cold, revealing a hint of the coolness of the night.
Before he could speak, the Prime Minister Kamul, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully, with a tone of awe and gratitude from the bottom of his heart:
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, today's celebration and feast have given the whole of Cairo a brand new look. The soldiers have had a rest, the people are more loyal, and the whole of Holy Egypt has become more stable because of your wise decision!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly, and said calmly: "This is how it should be. Soldiers and civilians are the foundation of Holy Egypt. Only by keeping them safe can the country be fearless of storms."
Kamul nodded deeply, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Then, his expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, I have something else to report to you."
Lin Ke raised her eyes and fixed them on him: "Tell me."
Kamul took a deep breath and said solemnly: "We found some traces of barbarians outside Memphis."
Lin Ke's eyes darkened slightly, and his fingertips tapped the armrest of the throne lightly: "Barbarians? Didn't these tribes retreat to the depths of the desert long ago?"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh. But our spies found that they seemed to be still wandering outside Memphis, and they seemed unaware that the Hebrews had retreated."
After listening to this, Lin Ke pondered for a moment, then sneered: "This is interesting. It seems that these barbarians don't care much about the Hebrews."
