At this moment, it is late at night.
The moonlight in Jerusalem was very bright, and there were no dark clouds in the sky. The rays of light made the earth seem somewhat bright.
Even without a torch, the outline of the ruins can be clearly seen.
Lin Ke was on a high place at this time, overlooking the busy figures of foreigners in the city.
Although in this land, they are the real foreigners.
However, from a distance, even Lin Ke found it difficult to distinguish who were the Hebrews and who were the soldiers of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
Because, right now, thousands of Hebrews and Holy Egyptian soldiers are working together to rebuild the city.
Most of them had taken off their clothes and were just working hard.
The little lights that lit up in the ruins were like stars falling into the world, which made the leaders of the Holy Egyptian Alliance feel respect.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's strategy is indeed very effective."
Malacia stood beside Lin Ke, her voice full of admiration.
She looked at the scene below and felt as if she was in another world.
"Look, in just one day, these prisoners have changed so much."
"It's incredible that they can now work together with the fighters of the Holy Egyptian Alliance."
"Honestly, if it were me, I would definitely have the Amazon warriors tie up all these Hebrews and make them work."
"After all, no one is sure whether these guys will do anything out of line."
"This is our traditional way of dealing with the enemy. It is simple and effective. After all, isn't the purpose of war to weaken the opponent and strengthen ourselves?"
"Only His Majesty Saint Pharaoh is different. His vision is unique and far-sighted, which is simply beyond our comprehension."
Hearing this, the Aztec Montezuma nodded, and the feathers on his head swayed gently a few times.
"When it comes to weakening the opponent, our habits are slightly different."
"According to ancient custom, for a war like this, we would first select a thousand of the strongest prisoners of war, and then hold a grand sacrifice."
"The remaining captives will be dispersed to various tribes and used as living sacrifices or laborers."
"That's what we did just a few months ago when we dealt with the barbarians that attacked from the north."
After saying this, Montezuma glanced towards the barbarian king.
The Barbarian King looked embarrassed, but he just pretended not to hear what was said and looked further away.
When King Arthas of Atlantis heard this, he just shook his head and smiled.
"The methods used by you land peoples are too bloody."
"In Atlantis, we treat the defeated differently than you do."
"We will deprive them of their right to use technology, cut off their connection to the sea, and reduce them to a lower race that can only survive by primitive means."
"Compared to physical slavery, mental slavery is more lasting."
Everyone just frowned slightly as they listened to what Arthas said.
Apparently, this was the first time they had heard the words about establishing a connection with the sea.
Of course, Atlantis is a maritime nation. If the Hebrew Empire had not destroyed their capital and many cities, the people of the Holy Egyptian Alliance would have been able to see with their own eyes one city after another built in the water.
However, the water source there has been polluted by the power of the devil, and it will take a long time to completely purify it.
The Mayan lord Bigtik crossed his arms. Unlike everyone else, he did not frown at what Arthas said, as if he had remembered something else.
"In our Maya, there is an old saying."
"To conquer a city, you must destroy its foundations."
"In our practice, we would tear down their temples and replace their calendars."
"If you want to make an evil civilization disappear completely at the cultural level, this is more thorough than any form of massacre."
"Especially a kingdom like the Hebrew Empire, which is always provoking war."
“This is the only solution I can think of.”
Ramses listened quietly to the words of the holy Egyptian leaders, and then some other images seemed to appear in his golden eyes.
Pictures of Holy Egypt, pictures of the past.
That is the memory of Ramses' identity as the second prince.
His eyes sparkled brightly in the night.
“In Holy Egypt, our previous pharaohs also tried many methods.”
"Imprisonment, enslavement, assimilation, and massacre."
"But in the end, these measures only bring temporary peace and are not long-term and effective."
“I have to admit that even I never thought of any other possibilities.”
After Ramses finished speaking, the leaders just stared in amazement.
After all, Ramses was nothing like them; he was a god.
That was praise and affirmation from a god.
After a brief silence, Malacia raised the corners of her mouth first.
"Everyone has their reasons, but I think if any ordinary king were faced with this situation, he would probably choose a more extreme measure."
"I've heard that when the nomadic tribes of the northern grasslands conquered the settled nations, they beheaded all the men over the age of eighteen, and took the women and children and divided them up as slaves."
"The sea tribes of the Eastern Islands like to turn the defeated into living corals and imprison them forever on the seabed."
Montezuma of the Aztecs nodded: "That's right."
"In the past, we once conquered a city-state in the south. The great leader at that time ordered that the hearts of all prisoners of war be sacrificed to the rain god."
"It is said that the ceremony lasted for seven days and seven nights, and the blood pool in front of the altar was even knee-deep."
The Mayan lord Bigtik added: "This practice of yours is also very common in our place."
"Because our Mayan priests believe that only through regular blood sacrifices can the movement of the stars and agricultural harvests be guaranteed."
"A large-scale sacrificial activity often consumes hundreds or thousands of prisoners of war."
Everyone talked about the past, about how the “prisoners of war” of their kingdoms and civilizations were dealt with.
Among them, only Arthas, the King of Atlantis, did not speak. He just opened his eyes slightly and listened to the "bloody culture" that he had never heard of before.
The words of several leaders echoed in the night wind. Just imagining it was enough to bring up one horrifying picture after another.
All major civilizations in this world have displayed some extreme cruelty at some point in history.
But at this moment, they are witnessing a whole new possibility.
A possibility they had never heard of.
Even the gods expressed their appreciation for the possibility.
