"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
The next day, just after dawn, a guard rushed into the tent.
At that time, Lin Ke just divided a piece of paper into several areas, as if he was thinking about something.
Nan Tong saw the guard's panic and just waved his hand gently.
"What's the hurry? Don't disturb His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
As soon as Nan Tong finished speaking, the soldier knelt on the ground with a plop.
Not only that, his expression seemed a little panicked, but that kind of panic was different from the panic that occurred when a war broke out.
In fact, there is a big difference.
In other words, if these guards were to encounter an armed conflict, they would not show such expressions at all.
Obviously, they seemed to be facing something very difficult now, which was beyond their ability to handle.
Nan Tong naturally noticed this as well: "Could it be that those Hebrews are rebelling again?"
But the guard who heard this just shook his head vigorously a few times.
"No! It's not! Master Nantong!"
“Many people have come to the outskirts of Jerusalem!”
"They are not enemies, they are... people like the ones we captured last night!"
"The kind of people who insist on entering Jerusalem and going to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre!"
When Nan Tong heard the guard's words, she just narrowed her eyes slightly.
Obviously, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
And sure enough, what the guard said next was exactly what Nan Tong had expected.
"Those Arabs and Hebrews have quarreled with them. We can only prevent them from having a bloody conflict, but the situation is complicated and we don't understand what they are trying to say!"
"Lord Nantong! Please go and have a look!"
Nan Tong was slightly stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and looked towards where Lin Ke was.
Obviously, he did not expect that so many things would suddenly happen just the day after the capture of Jerusalem.
Lin Ke frowned slightly and slowly stood up.
"Nantong, let Malacia handle it first."
"I'll be there shortly."
Nan Tong immediately accepted the order.
He soon arrived outside Jerusalem with Malachia and more soldiers.
In the open area outside the ruins, there were shocking scenes.
There were hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people dressed strangely.
Not only do they dress strangely, but even their appearance is slightly different from that of Hebrews and Arabs.
As for the area around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, hundreds of soldiers from the Holy Egyptian Alliance have gathered there to guard it.
The Hebrews and the group of Arabs from last night occupied the two ends of the square, glaring at each other, with an open space in the middle, like two opposing fronts.
Between these two groups, there were several groups of strangers who were obviously dressed differently.
Some of them wore strange dark robes, some wore pointed hats that had never been seen before, and some wore short white coats with colorful belts around their waists.
What Nan Tong could be sure of was that these strangers seemed to be equally yearning for the church, but none of them dared to approach rashly.
"What's going on?"
Malacia asked one of the soldiers who was maintaining order.
"We don't know either, clan leader!"
"About an hour ago, many strangers arrived here one after another."
They seemed to be strangers to the Hebrews, but they showed great enthusiasm for the church.”
"Then the Hebrews and Arabs began to argue, accusing each other of blocking their access to the holy places, and then the dispute escalated to the point where it almost turned into a fight."
Marasia noticed that the people in the four camps formed circles and kept repeating certain ritual movements and chants.
Although the languages are different, the piety is the same.
"First stabilize the situation, then determine the identities of these people."
After receiving Marasia's order, the soldiers of the Holy Egyptian Alliance acted quickly.
They formed a straight line, separating the four groups, and used a common language to try to communicate with each party.
After some chaotic negotiations, the situation finally calmed down, but people's dissatisfaction was still high.
Marasia took the initiative to walk forward and came to the middle of the four groups of people.
Then, she tried her best to make her voice sound calmer.
"Everyone, please calm down."
"I am the leader of the Malacia clan of the Holy Egyptian Alliance. May I ask where you are from?"
“Why are you all so concerned about this Jerusalem?”
At first, all parties were somewhat wary.
But after Malacia's patient explanation, the crowd began to send out representatives to speak one after another.
An older man in dark robes stepped forward.
"Respected General, we come from the mountains in the east. We are pilgrims who come in the name of God."
"This church is said to be the resting place of our saint. We traveled thousands of miles just to reach this holy place."
"Especially after we heard that the Holy City was attacked, we rushed here without stopping."
"I didn't expect the holy land to have become a ruin, but fortunately..."
At this moment, an old Hebrew man immediately interrupted him.
"absurd!"
"This is the resting place of our prophet. What does it have to do with your so-called saints?"
Then, a man in a white short coat immediately interrupted, but this man had an obvious accent that was somewhat similar to that of an Arab.
"They are all lying!"
“This is our holy place!”
One of the Arab leaders waved his hand: "This is all infidel nonsense."
"According to our scriptures, this is the place where the Prophet ascended to heaven. Its holiness to us cannot be denied."
"This is our holy place."
The argument heated up again, and Marasia had to raise her voice: "Everyone, please be quiet! Please don't argue again until we know the truth."
After further questioning, she gradually sorted out the situation.
These outsiders, dressed in different clothes, do come from different regions.
And one thing they all have in common is that they all have a certain reverence for Jerusalem.
After careful identification, Malacia was surprised to find that there were four obviously different religious groups gathered here at the same time, each with its own interpretation of the sanctity of the church.
At this time, she whispered her sigh to Anantong beside her.
"Lord Nantong, this is amazing!"
“I never thought Jerusalem could be considered a holy place for so many religions at the same time.”
Nan Tong also nodded slightly.
"However, this just confirms the prediction of His Majesty Saint Pharaoh."
"He has always believed that yesterday's conflict was not as simple as it seemed."
"He was drawing something yesterday. Now that I think about it, it might be related to what happened today."
