"This... this is an oracle!"
An older woman almost screamed.
“You won’t be hungry anymore?!”
A Hebrew man pondered over what Lin Ke said, and then he just shook his head gently a few times.
“There’s never a day that I don’t go to bed hungry!”
"Can the people of Holy Egypt really have enough food every day?"
As the Hebrew man spoke, he turned his gaze to the Holy Egyptian Alliance soldier next to him, as if he wanted to get an answer from him.
The soldier did not make any additional movements, but just nodded his head slightly a few times in response.
"Oh my god! I've forgotten what it feels like to have a full stomach!"
"It seems like so many years ago that I last had a full meal..."
An old man wrapped in rags also nodded: "Yes!"
"Since the war broke out between the Empire and us, our rations have become smaller and smaller. In the end, we could only get a small piece of moldy black bread every day."
“A lot of the elderly…a lot of them simply won’t make it through the winter!”
For these ancient people who lived on the brink of famine for a long time, the words "not going hungry" carried a meaning far beyond the literal meaning itself.
That means not having to watch children crying from hunger without being able to do anything about it, not having to shiver in the cold winter nights due to lack of food, and having the opportunity to feed newborns and help them grow up healthily.
Lin Ke was naturally very clear about this.
When Holy Egypt had an abundance of food, he could almost "control" his allies through the allocation of food.
In this era, as long as you have enough food and just raise your hand, many people will be willing to sacrifice their lives for you.
Not to mention these lean Hebrews.
"I have never dared to hope to have a full meal every day in my life!"
“Can we really live like this by cooperating with Saint Egypt?”
For them, being able to eat enough food continuously is not a simple dietary issue, but an almost impossible social state, an ideal state that only exists in religious texts and fairy tales.
That is why, when this promise is truly placed before them, they feel an almost sacred sense of awe.
Because this far exceeds their expectations of real life.
They began to realize that the Holy Pharaoh before them brought not only no punishment but also mercy.
A compassion beyond mortal understanding!
Cheers began to sound sporadically, and soon spread rapidly into one: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"We are willing to pay the ransom and do the work!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Those faces that were once filled with fear and despair now have new life.
At this moment, they are no longer enemies in confrontation, but partners in rebuilding their homes.
Even Nan Tong couldn't help shaking his head, expressing his admiration for the Saint Pharaoh's decision.
Amid the cheers of the people, Lin Ke turned around and slowly walked away.
Nan Tong then announced to the crowd: "Go to your respective gathering points. Food and water will be distributed within an hour!"
After Lin Ke left, the Hebrew people's emotions began to change from shock and gratitude to positive action.
The initial chaos soon gave way to a sense of orderly organization.
"Everyone stand together!"
"Line up and don't cause any trouble for these soldiers!"
The family elders stepped forward to organize the team, the young people helped maintain order, and the women were busy calming the children.
In less than half an hour, the originally chaotic area had restored basic operating order.
Soldiers from the Holy Egyptian League brought in batches of food and water, and Hebrew volunteers stepped forward to help distribute them.
The families who got the food first had already started sharing in the corner, swallowing it in big mouthfuls.
Despite the limited conditions, the expressions on their faces were the most relaxed and happiest they had been in months.
A young Holy Egyptian officer exclaimed to his colleagues: "I have never seen anything like this."
"In the morning they were as scared as mice when they saw us, but now they are talking and laughing."
The soldier beside him nodded and responded, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has a long-term vision."
"You see, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh can completely change the appearance of these Hebrews with just a few words."
"They are very polite to us now, and they have no hostility at all."
"Who would believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes?"
As night fell, the makeshift registration office was brightly lit.
Hebrew families arrived one after another to register and receive temporary identification cards and basic supplies.
Those young people who were designated to participate in the reconstruction work went to the camp on the other side to receive simple training and tool distribution.
A young man raised his hand and asked, "Sir!"
"If we work hard enough, does that mean our families can get better treatment?"
"Like... can I get some more food?"
A soldier from Holy Egypt simply nodded: "Yes, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has made it very clear that those who work hard will get more rewards."
"However, you must always remember that this is a gift from His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
“Be Grateful!”
This answer sparked a more heated discussion among the young people, who began planning their work schedules for the night and even came up with some ideas for improving efficiency.
