With the assistance of dozens of Holy Egyptian soldiers, the loading of supplies proceeded very quickly.
In less than an hour, all the food, weapons and daily necessities were neatly stacked on the camels and carriages.
The courtyard was filled with the sound of camel bells, the creaking of wooden wheels on the stone pavement, and the joyful conversations of envoys and soldiers.
The envoy checked the supplies on the last carriage, and after confirming that they were all correct, he looked up at Kamul.
"Respected Lord Kamul, we are truly grateful for this!"
"But please understand that we must set off immediately."
"Lord Saladin is probably still waiting for news from us, and these supplies need to be delivered as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Kamul just nodded gently.
"I understand your feelings, but a long journey also requires adequate rest, our friends."
"I suggest you rest in Cairo for at least one night and leave early tomorrow morning."
But the Arab envoy politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
"But time waits for no one, and our camels have limited load capacity. If we stay another day, it might affect our return journey."
Camus thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and called to his attendant: "Okay, I understand."
"In that case, I will give your delegation a few more Holy Egyptian chariots."
"They have a high load capacity and travel speed, making them very suitable for long-distance transportation."
When the envoys heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said, "This! This is too precious! Sir!"
"We have already accepted many gifts from you, how can we accept such a generous gift!"
"I hope you will revoke your order! Otherwise, we will feel uneasy!"
Camul ignored what the other party said and just waved his hand to signal the servant to make arrangements.
"This is not a gift, but mutual assistance between brothers."
"Holy Egypt and Arabia are now as close as one family. This little thing is not worth mentioning."
"If I don't do this, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh will definitely blame me. I hope you understand."
Soon, four brand new wooden chariots were brought over.
Each carriage was equipped with two strong draft horses, and the carriage was wide and sturdy enough to carry several times more supplies than a camel.
Ali's followers were overjoyed and immediately began to redistribute supplies, moving the heavier items onto the chariots.
Now, their transportation capacity has been greatly improved and the journey can be shortened by at least two days.
"Lord Kamul!"
Ali bowed deeply, his voice choked with emotion.
"Your generosity is beyond words! Please accept our deepest gratitude and convey our sincerest gratitude to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Camille just smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"I only look forward to returning to your country in the future to see His Majesty Saladin and the splendor of Arab culture."
The envoy immediately responded excitedly: "We welcome you anytime!"
"In Arabia, Holy Egypt is our closest brother and ally!"
Finally, they held each other's hands.
"brother!"
"friend!"
As everyone said goodbye, the members of the delegation boarded their camels and chariots one by one.
Before leaving, they hugged Kamul one by one and said goodbye, many with tears in their eyes.
For these Arabs who have been traveling on the desert trade routes all year round, the generous assistance from Holy Egypt can greatly help them solve their current difficulties.
Watching the other party set off, Kamil loudly blessed: "May the gods bless you with a safe journey!"
The Arab envoys also responded: "May the glory of the Holy Pharaoh shine forever!"
Accompanied by the sound of camel bells, the Arab delegation slowly drove out of the gate of the royal warehouse and disappeared at the end of the street.
The surrounding soldiers gradually dispersed, leaving only a few guards standing beside Kamul.
One of the older guards couldn't help but sigh as he watched the delegation leaving.
"Lord Kamul, this scene reminds me of a few years ago."
"At that time, we were still worried about survival. We could hardly guarantee the most basic food rations, let alone help others."
"Today, we are able to support other countries so generously. It makes me feel like I'm in another world!"
Another younger soldier continued, "Yes, our village often suffered from hunger before, and our parents saved their own rations to feed us children."
"Now, every household has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and their lives are becoming more and more hopeful."
"We have to thank His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh for saving us from suffering and allowing us to live the life we have today."
"We will always follow the great Holy Pharaoh until death!"
They were chatting when a burst of intense horse hooves broke the silence.
Everyone looked back and saw two riders on fast horses galloping towards them.
When they got closer, they found that it was the scribe Remheb and the Holy Pharaoh himself.
Seeing this, everyone immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Kamil also bowed his head respectfully.
Lin Ke dismounted and quickly walked up to Kamul: "Kamul, when did the Arab delegation leave?"
Hearing Lin Ke's tone slightly quicken, Kamul was stunned.
"About half an hour ago, they were in a hurry to get on their way, so I sent a few more chariots to them."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, what happened?"
Lin Ke did not answer, but asked Kamul: "I have something to ask them."
"Do you know what the situation is like in Arabia today?"
Kamul recalled what the envoys had said to him: "There is civil unrest in the Arab world."
"They seem to be in a hurry to get back to Arabia. It seems the war is getting intense."
Lin Ke took a deep breath and looked at Kamul before speaking.
“That’s the problem.”
"Combined with the letter Saladin sent me, I suspect the situation in Arabia is much more serious than we imagined."
“That’s not all.”
Lin Ke continued bluntly.
"I suspect there may be something seriously wrong with Saladin's health."
"Some of the expressions in the letter, such as 'fading energy' and 'like falling autumn leaves', sound more like the plea of a dying person."
"It's not just congratulations to me."
Kamul's face became serious when he heard this: "What? This..."
"So what should we do now?"
"No wonder they left in such a hurry. They were so happy when they received the food and weapons you gave them."
"So it's because their situation has become so serious?"
Lin Ke nodded and opened the civilization panel.
True, they had traveled a long way from Cairo.
They were moving very quickly.
"Is it too late to send a fast horse after them now?"
Lin Ke hesitated for a while, and finally he just took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid it's too late."
At this time, Lin Ke opened the civilization panel.
