Of course, the reason why Lin Ke said this was not entirely because his decision was really "wrong".
This is because Lin Ke still needs the Five Messengers of Light.
In other words, he will need them more in the future, after the capital of the new Hebrew Empire is confirmed.
Regardless of whether Elisha can be found or not, Lin Ke has already made a plan, which is to let the Five Messengers of Light replace David and protect the future supreme king of the New Hebrew Empire.
The five of them are highly skilled, and each of them has magic power that surpasses the Great Star Magician and is almost comparable to the Full Moon Magician. Each of them is extremely low-key and powerful.
Lin Ke knew very well that he could use this incident to implement the strategy of "giving a slap and then a candy".
Simply put, it is a whip and candy, a mechanism with clear rewards and punishments. It beats you up and then gives you some benefits, gradually making you surrender and completely tame.
This is easy to understand. If something happens in the city, generally speaking, your leader will naturally ask you to take the blame and solve the problem.
And this kind of thing is not just as simple as losing your job.
You may end up in jail, or even be hanged, or suffer horrific punishments.
However, if the supreme leader directly stepped forward at this time to take the blame and help them to end it, then in the context of the work of the Five Messengers of Light, Lin Ke would be a savior-level existence.
Not to mention, Lin Ke is a person with multiple identities, and in the eyes of the Five Messengers of Light, he is a great character like the "spokesperson of God."
Therefore, this magnanimity far exceeded the expectations of the Five Messengers of Light, which made them both moved and ashamed.
"Great Lord of Light!"
The chief messenger's voice choked.
"We...we don't deserve such leniency! We are willing to die as atonement!"
"We are willing to donate all our magical powers, be reduced to mortals, and experience pain throughout our long lives to cleanse the sins of our dereliction of duty!"
"Lord of Light!"
The five messengers of light knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
Nan Tong and the succubus were originally very angry. They had planned to scold these guys because they had prevented the Holy Pharaoh's plan from being successfully implemented.
Similarly, in their view, it was also a blasphemy against His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
But after seeing the reactions of the Five Messengers of Light, even the angry Nan Tong and the Succubus could not utter another word of blame.
Because they could see from the words and actions of the Five Messengers of Light their reverence for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh and their regret for their dereliction of duty.
Lin Ke continued speaking calmly.
"You know very well that what I need are living people, not dead martyrs."
"So, I won't punish you."
"But you must understand that what follows is of vital importance. The fate of the New Hebrew Empire rests in your hands."
"You don't need to follow up on the search for Elisha anymore. I will go to Hebron myself to look for him."
"What I need you to do is to immediately gather the most elite troops from various cities in the New Hebrew Empire and deploy them to the city of Hebron."
"If Elisha is still alive, the five of you will serve as the Grand Magisters of the New Hebrew Empire from now on, guarding him and ensuring his safety."
"If he is dead, I will appoint a new king."
"But until I find a new candidate, you must ensure the safety of the city of Hebron."
"I want something like this to never happen again."
When the Five Messengers of Light heard these words, it was as if they saw the sun piercing through the dark clouds, revealing its warm light.
The Lord of Light actually wants to help them take over the remaining affairs of the city of Hebron!
The Lord of Light actually wants to look for Elisha himself!
In their opinion, Lin Ke's behavior at this moment has exceeded their understanding.
Then, the Five Messengers of Light raised their heads and looked at Lin Ke as if they were looking up to a god.
"Lord of Light!"
The five people kowtowed again, expressing their heartfelt gratitude and awe for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh.
The sounds they made at this time were like those of warriors preparing to die.
"Follow the command of the Lord of Light!"
"We will do our best to live up to the Lord of Light's high expectations!"
The sounds they made were so hoarse that it seemed as if their throats were about to be torn.
But they didn't care at all. At this moment, they only had respect and gratitude for Lin Ke.
After saying these words, he turned around and faced the Five Messengers of Light.
"Hebron is your chance to prove yourself."
"I look forward to seeing a brand new city, a city truly worthy of the name of the royal capital."
"I won't say it again, Five Emissaries of Light."
"Then, this important task will be handed over to you."
The Five Messengers of Light knelt on the ground, looking at the back of the Lord of Light, their hearts filled with intense emotions that were almost about to burst out.
That is admiration, that is loyalty.
That was when they realized why Lin Ke could become the Holy Pharaoh, the person who guided the entire Holy Egypt and even led the entire Holy Egypt Alliance.
His vision and pattern of thought are far beyond the reach of ordinary people, and his decisions are far beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
"We are willing to go through fire and water for the Holy Pharaoh, no matter what!"
The five envoys swore an oath in unison.
But Lin Ke did not respond. He just continued to turn his back to the Five Messengers of Light.
Nan Tong immediately realized something and said, "Go quickly!"
......
And just when Lin Ke stopped, he spoke again.
“It’s my responsibility.”
"If Elisha dies as a result of this, I cannot shirk my responsibility."
Of course, Lin Ke said this because he knew very well that it would be very difficult to find someone like Elisha.
Lin Ke's question was like a bomb, causing the three people present to freeze instantly.
It was hard for them to imagine that their wise, benevolent, great, and honorable Holy Pharaoh could actually...
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! This is not your fault!"
"You have already given clear instructions and secretly provided them with sufficient resources!"
"The real problem lies with the Five Emissaries of Light. This is all due to their negligence!"
"As the de facto administrators of the New Hebrew Empire, they knew you intended to make Hebron the royal capital, yet they failed to strengthen its defenses or deploy sufficient troops to guard it!"
"In my opinion, you should hang them or deprive them of their magical abilities!"
When the succubus heard Lin Ke's words, she just spoke angrily.
Of course, she didn't know how important the Five Messengers of Light would be to the New Hebrew Empire and Lin Ke in the future.
But obviously, Lin Ke's words also made the other person immediately angry.
That's Nantong.
