"thump."
Elisha's knees hit the ground with a dull thud.
He raised his head, and the scene he saw through his tearful eyes almost made him stop breathing.
Because, the four people in black robes took off their veils that covered their faces.
"Your Majesty... Holy Pharaoh?"
"Is it really you?"
"It's really you..."
Elisha's voice began to tremble, and his pupils, which had just lost their color, were now completely filled with the warm candlelight again.
Standing before him was the ruler of the Holy Egyptian Alliance, the King of Holy Egypt, the Holy Pharaoh.
That unique dark eye makeup is proof of her noble status.
Elisha knew very well that only the great holy Pharaoh could have eyes like that.
Beside him were the great sun magician Nan Tong, the succubus, and Ramses, the god of the desert and the Nile.
Each of them is a terrifying and powerful existence in Holy Egypt.
These four people actually appeared in front of Elisha in this way.
For a moment, Elisha even thought he was hallucinating.
But he knew very well that the object on his neck that was faintly gleaming with golden light was the proof of the Holy Pharaoh's supreme status.
“It’s really you!”
Elisha could no longer control himself and tears burst out like a dam breaking.
He took a few steps forward on his knees, choking with sobs and almost unable to speak.
"I! I have been looking for your army! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"I thought... everything was over..."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Please, please help me!"
"If I could still live, I would spend the rest of my life repaying your kindness!"
"The people in the city are being slaughtered. Hebron has completely turned into hell!"
Elisha was a little excited, but after seeing Lin Ke raise his hand, he calmed down a little.
"We know you've been looking for us."
"Facing an unbeatable foe, it is wise and courageous to put your life behind you and embark on the journey alone."
Lin Ke looked at Elisha and nodded with satisfaction. Of course, Elisha didn't know that it was actually Lin Ke's arrangement for him to become the ruling king.
It was David who told Elisha that he was the crown prince.
Elisha wiped his tears and tried to calm himself down.
He realized that this was not the time to act emotionally, as he had too much important information to pass on to the leader in front of him.
"Where is City Lord David? How did you separate?"
Hearing this, Elisha's voice simply dropped.
"Lord David... sacrificed himself to protect me."
He took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm, and then told Lin Ke what David did when the enemy rushed in.
And how he was captured.
Elisha closed his eyes and recalled the last scene he saw when he escaped.
“When I came out of the secret passage, I looked back.”
"I saw many heads hanging in front of the door. Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, I knew clearly that it was him."
Lin Ke nodded. The situation was just as he expected. It happened so suddenly that David couldn't take any defensive measures.
"Elisha, have you discovered anything about the sudden appearance of the enemy in the city?"
Elisha stood up, and the sadness on his face was gradually replaced by a kind of determination.
He organized his thoughts and began to report the information he had in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, the armed forces in the city are actually composed of two forces."
"One group is an armed force, approximately two thousand strong, primarily responsible for daily patrols and maintaining order. The other group claims to be from the Hybery Empire. They are smaller in number but well-equipped, numbering around five hundred. They control key areas within the city."
When everyone heard the words "Hyperi Empire", they all frowned at the same time.
Just by hearing the name, they knew that the other party must have been one of the forces of the Hebrew Empire. After the collapse of the Hebrew Empire, they quickly came to seize territory.
"It seems they intend to use the city of Hebron as the starting point for their conquest of the Hebrew Empire."
"I heard their conversation, but those armed forces seemed to be hired. They were not part of the same force, but rather maintained a cooperative relationship."
After hearing what Elisha said, the succubus actually became a little curious about him.
"How did you find out all this? Weren't you arrested?"
Elisha continued, "Yes, but I was imprisoned in a cell next to the camp of the armed men."
"I eavesdropped on their conversation and gained some information. Furthermore, I observed that the armed men in the city wore two different uniforms and operated independently, rarely coordinating."
"Furthermore, the men-at-arms of Hiberi are clearly of higher status. They live in the best buildings in the city and have their own guards."
Nan Tong nodded in approval: "Not bad, Elisha."
"It's very rare to be able to remain calm and gather useful intelligence in such an environment."
Elisha lowered his head shyly and said, "These are what the Lord of David City taught me."
"I know that even in dangerous situations, I must find a way out."
"However, given the current situation, we cannot compete with them on our own."
