“Kneel down!”
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh will be here in person soon!"
"If anyone dares to stand up, I will cut off his knees!"
"Did you hear everything clearly?!"
The shouts of the Holy Egyptian Alliance soldiers echoed all around, causing every Hebrew captive who heard them to tremble all over.
The soldiers stood straight, each one like a statue.
Even the weapons in their hands shone with a cold light.
"I said, kneel down!"
Another loud shout was heard, and this time, the roar was accompanied by the dull sound of weapons hitting shields.
More and more Hebrews knelt down, but a few soldiers of the Hebrew Empire hesitated.
But when they saw the Holy Egyptian Alliance soldiers coming towards them with weapons in hand, they finally couldn't stand the pressure and slowly fell to their knees.
Once one person surrendered, the others would soon follow suit. So, in this place where tens of thousands of Hebrew captives gathered, they fell one after another like dominoes and knelt on the ground.
And the orders continued to come.
"Lower your heads!"
"Keep your eyes on the ground! Don't look up!"
The Hebrew crowd lowered their heads in unison like harvested wheat.
No one dared to disobey these orders, because everyone knew that they were just pieces of meat on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered.
After all, there were two holy Egyptian supreme gods standing in the distance.
As mortals, they absolutely cannot disobey Holy Egypt and cannot offend His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
After people quieted down, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the ruins of Jerusalem.
The entire ruined city was now glowing with a golden-red glow, dyeing the devastated land bloody.
Thousands of Hebrews were kneeling in front of a makeshift platform.
At this moment, they are like "sinners" and can only wait for the "judgment" of the Holy Pharaoh.
"Be quiet! Don't make any noise!"
"Our greatest Holy Pharaoh will be here soon!"
The Hebrews only raised their heads slightly from time to time and glanced quickly left and right.
No one knew what would happen next, but everyone could feel an indescribable fear.
They don’t know whether they will die or not, and they don’t even know whether they can survive today.
“Woo——”
Just then, the sound of orderly marching footsteps of soldiers came from afar.
Those sounds, like the drumbeats of Judgment Day, approached the Hebrew people step by step.
"kneel--"
"Welcome to the leader of the Holy Egyptian Alliance, the King of Holy Egypt!"
"Head of the gods, Lord of Upper and Lower Egypt!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh——"
Following this long tail note, the entire venue immediately fell into an eerie silence.
Even the breathing sounds of many Hebrews began to become fainter, and the few who dared to raise their heads slightly just now now lowered their heads completely.
They knew very well that the moment that would decide their fate would soon come.
"The Holy Pharaoh is coming!"
"What on earth should I do?"
"Are we really just going to sit there and wait for death?"
Among them, an officer said in a low voice.
There were many people around, so his voice could not reach the ears of the soldiers of the Holy Egyptian Alliance at all.
These words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.
"Shh! Be quiet!"
The crowd began to stir, and some tried to retreat back, but were quickly stopped by the soldiers.
Others instinctively held on to their family members' hands, as if that would give them a sense of security.
"I've heard rumors about that holy pharaoh."
"It is said that he possesses incredible powers, in addition to being able to summon gods and demons."
"Like being able to summon some soldiers with divine powers, and..."
When his daughter-in-law heard this, she just covered his mouth nervously: "Shh, don't say that!"
"Do you want to cause trouble?"
"If those soldiers see us, we might all die!"
The tension of the Hebrews almost reached its peak. Some of them began to move their lips and pray silently, some tightly grasped the amulets they carried with them, and some even began to sob softly.
At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing fine armor came from a distance, led by the captain of the guard and Khufu.
Behind them was the great sun magician Nan Tong and a god covered in golden light.
Finally, there was a tall figure.
Many Hebrews saw the body and face of the holy Pharaoh out of the corner of their eyes.
Although they couldn't see clearly, just a glance with their peripheral vision was enough to shock them.
"It's the Holy Pharaoh! It's really the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Oh my God, I have never seen such a suffocating existence!"
"That king actually wants to come here in person to speak?"
"Hurry, kneel down and lower your head!"
The crowd buried their heads even lower, and the sound disappeared.
Only the faint sound of breathing and occasional sobs were left.
When Lin Ke stepped onto the stage, the whole audience fell silent.
Lin Ke just took a quick glance to confirm whether all the living Hebrews had come here.
"Everyone, stand up."
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, the Hebrews just swallowed their saliva.
After a while, a few brave Hebrews slowly raised their heads.
Seeing that nothing happened to the Hebrews who raised their heads, the other Hebrews dared to slowly raise their heads as well.
When they saw the face of the Holy Pharaoh, everyone opened their mouths wide and let out a soft sigh.
After all, for these ordinary soldiers and civilians, they will never be able to meet a king like Lin Ke in their entire lives.
They had never even seen the armor that Lin Ke was wearing, not to mention Lin Ke's eyes covered with black eyeshadow.
Everything about the holy Pharaoh only made it more mysterious to the Hebrews.
But strangely, they did not see any murderous intent in the eyes of the Holy Pharaoh.
So, they just stared with eyes wide open and held their breath, staring at the man who decided their fate.
"People of the Hebrew Empire, I am the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt."
"We have only one purpose for this trip."
"That is to kill the Supreme Ruler King and put an end to the war between our two countries once and for all."
"Now, the Supreme Ruler King is dead, but I will not transfer my anger to you."
"Today, I have gathered you here because I have something to announce to you all."
The Hebrew people below just listened quietly and swallowed.
