"The main warriors under your 'King of Righteousness' should be the Mamluk cavalry, right?"
Lin Ke did not pay attention to what the two had just said. He just immediately raised another question.
Of course, although it seems like a question, Lin Ke is actually confirming whether things are really as he imagined.
If the other party gives a positive answer, then Lin Ke will most likely be able to confirm that this Arab civilization will definitely have a unit called [Mamluk Cavalry].
As soon as these words were spoken, the Arab representative's eyes widened instantly, and an expression of surprise and shock appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! I admire you with all my heart!"
"You even know this? This is the most important military force that Prince Yi has been accumulating in recent years!"
"So you are right, our elite warriors are the Mamluk cavalry!"
However, Nan Tong was completely confused after hearing this. He had no idea what kind of warriors the Mamluk cavalry were.
"Mamluk cavalry?"
"What is that? Your warriors?"
"Camel Warrior?"
When the Arab representative heard what Nan Tong said, he just laughed softly before he began to explain.
However, his tone was full of pride.
"Mamluks, in our language, mean 'owned people' or 'slave soldiers'."
“Most of them are non-Arab teenagers recruited from border areas when they were young. After undergoing rigorous military training and Islamic education, they became our loyal fighters.”
"They are excellent riders and swordsmen, and are particularly good at using scimitars for rapid cutting attacks."
"In past battles, a small group of Mamluks have often been able to demonstrate combat power beyond our capabilities."
“And it is thanks to these warriors that we have been able to win many battles against foreign invasions.”
"So, the 'King of Righteousness' has also been training more Mamluk cavalry in recent years so that they can serve us in the future."
When Nan Tong heard this, he suddenly realized: "Ah, slave soldiers."
"I never thought that your slave soldiers would be so strong and even so loyal and brave to serve you."
"It seems that your 'King of Righteousness' is indeed a very merciful king."
On the other side, Lin Ke was repeating the word "slave soldiers" in a low voice. His expression gradually became thoughtful, and finally he even looked a little dazed.
Seeing that Lin Ke was lost in thought, the Arab representative continued cautiously, "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
"That's right. There is one more thing I need to report to you about our Righteous King Saladin."
"Although this may be a little abrupt... this is also our vision, and I believe it is also the vision of the 'King Yi'."
When Lin Ke heard this, she just looked up at him.
The Arab representative spoke slowly at this time.
"The Righteous King has been working hard to regroup in recent years. Ever since the conflict between us and Jerusalem began, he has begun recruiting soldiers on a large scale and forming a new army."
"It is said that he has secretly raised thousands of Mamluk cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, preparing to launch an expedition against Jerusalem in the next few years."
“But now you have leveled Jerusalem and rebuilt it, and you have even left the gates of Jerusalem open forever!”
"I believe that if King Yi knew all this, he would also sincerely admire your character."
To Nan Tong, this news sounded like a compliment, a compliment to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
But to Lin Ke, it sounded like a bomb exploding in his ears.
Thousands of [Mamluk Cavalry] that can be recognized by the civilization panel!
Lin Ke realized that if he were to become an enemy of such a civilization, he would probably only be able to rely on the Holy Egyptian Alliance army and the gods to fight against it.
Of course, it is best not to be an enemy of such a civilization.
Although in the eyes of outsiders this civilization is not as powerful as the Hebrew Empire, in Lin Ke's opinion, its strength is greater than that of the Hebrew Empire.
Because when facing such a civilization, the units built by the civilization panel may not be able to exert any advantages.
So, Lin Ke just blinked his eyes lightly: "Is it... so serious?"
The Arab representative simply nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Just a while ago, when the reconstruction of Jerusalem just started, we sent people to ask for help, hoping that King Yi could lead more people to help here."
"So I think he should lead his army to Jerusalem as quickly as possible... But Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! Please believe that we have no hostility, this is just for the reconstruction of Jerusalem!"
"I will explain it to King Yi, and I believe that King Yi will certainly appreciate everything that Saint Pharaoh has done now."
"Especially for a great man like you who can call upon the gods. It would be an honor for Arabia to establish diplomatic relations with a kingdom with a great monarch like you."
When Lin Ke heard this, he let out a breath.
Nan Tong asked, "So is this establishment of diplomatic relations about trade, or..."
The Arab representative simply continued to answer: "Cooperation, even alliance!"
"King Yi believes that a lasting peace cannot be established by force alone in this turbulent land."
"But if we can join hands with a wise ruler like Saint Pharaoh, then what awaits us will be a new era of stability and prosperity!"
The Arab representative became more and more excited as he spoke: "King Saladin of Israel has many similarities with you, Your Majesty."
"Both are wise and intelligent leaders, both are well versed in governing a country and maintaining peace, and both care about the well-being of the people."
"More importantly, both of them are benevolent and tolerant monarchs who are willing to give equal respect to people of different faiths and ethnicities."
"The meeting of these two great men is a match made in heaven!"
"If we can form an alliance with Holy Egypt, it will not only be beneficial to the long-term stability of the border between the two sides, but also create a new regional pattern! A new pattern that goes beyond simple military confrontation and aims at common development!"
Tears welled up in the eyes of the Arab representative. His hands kept making Arabic gestures, and the expression on his face became more and more trembling: "King Yi once told us that true conquest is not the possession of territory, but the harmony of hearts."
"If I could meet the Holy Pharaoh in person, King Yi would certainly be willing to discuss with you how our two civilizations can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."
Nan Tong smiled and nodded, and these passionate words gradually became blurred in Lin Ke's ears.
He knew very well that what he had to do now was to establish a friendly alliance with the Arabs.
Otherwise, if it becomes an enemy of Arabia, it will be particularly disadvantageous for today's Holy Egypt.
After all, almost none of the gods of Holy Egypt can show up now.
Only the leaders of the Holy Egyptian Alliance can still summon the gods.
"Very well, we will hold a welcoming ceremony when your King Yi arrives."
