"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
The door was gently pushed open, and Saul and the Pope walked in.
They bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, we have arranged a meeting with His Majesty Fadil at the castle tomorrow morning as per your instructions."
Lin Ke turned around and looked at the two of them: "Very good."
"Sit down, don't be shy."
The two of them sat carefully in their designated seats, their bodies still maintaining a straight posture.
The Pope then asked, "Your Majesty, we just discussed this and have some questions about the content of tomorrow morning's meeting. Therefore, I need your advice."
Lin Ke nodded and got straight to the point.
"Well, I need you to propose to Fadhil to extend our presence."
When Saul and the Pope heard this, they looked at each other with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
"Extend the station?"
The Pope hesitantly repeated Lin Ke's words.
"But... Your Majesty, we did not bring much supplies with us when we came here, and stationing troops in a foreign country for a long time without permission may arouse unnecessary suspicion..."
Lin Ke smiled and raised her hand, signaling them to calm down: "Listen to me."
"I know this proposal sounds a bit sudden, but please consider the current situation."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the quiet night.
“Arabia today is like a crumbling house.”
"And Saladin is the pillar. Now that he has fallen, the entire structure could collapse at any time."
"Although the rebels have been temporarily repelled, do you think they will really give up?"
Lin Ke turned and looked at the two people in the room.
"They are just lying dormant for now. Once they get a chance, they will definitely come back."
The Pope nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is right, but..."
Lin Ke returned to his seat and raised his hand: "No, what I mean is that our Holy Egyptian garrison will be a signal, a powerful signal."
"We want to send a clear message to all potential rebels and foreign interveners: to go against the Arabs is to declare war on Holy Egypt."
"Only if the enemy knows this will they stop secretly plotting against Arabia. Otherwise, the distance between Holy Egypt and Arabia is too great for us to provide them with effective support."
Ramses then spoke up: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, isn't this too risky?"
"We don't have a deep enough understanding of the local situation, and rash intervention could backfire."
"It's possible that such a large number of magician troops stationed in Damascus might arouse suspicion from our allies."
"I'm worried they might misinterpret your good intentions."
Lin Ke nodded in understanding: "I understand your concerns, Ramses."
"But our intention is not to operate covertly in Arab internal affairs, but to provide protection and deterrence."
Then, Lin Ke turned to Saul and said, "In other words, I want our magician troops to assist Fadil in protecting Damascus, so that they can free up their forces to wipe out the remaining rebels."
"Their Mamluk cavalry is only suitable for fighting in open areas, while our magicians are good at protecting cities."
“That way everyone can play to their strengths.”
There was a brief silence in the room.
Then, Saul broke the silence: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a bold idea!"
"If we succeed, Holy Egypt's influence in the Arab world will be greatly enhanced!"
The Pope also understood what Lin Ke meant at this time, and his eyes sparkled.
"That's right! This will also lay a solid foundation for future cooperation between our two countries!"
"After the death of His Majesty Saladin, Fadil needs strong external support to consolidate his position!"
"We showed up at the right time and filled this gap!"
Hearing this, Lin Ke nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right, our assistance now will be of great benefit to Egypt's border security and business interests."
"Of course, this is just a temporary solution."
"Once the situation stabilizes, we will gradually reduce our troops and restore normal diplomatic relations."
"Now, what we need is a buffer period so that Fadhil can gain a firm footing and get Arabia back on track."
Upon hearing this, Saul and the Pope stood up at the same time and bowed solemnly to Lin Ke: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has great foresight and vision. We admire him deeply!"
"We will certainly fully cooperate with your plan and will never let you down! Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Lin Ke stepped forward and patted their shoulders.
"Tomorrow morning, I hope you can formally propose this to the other party. I believe that if Fadil inherits even a third of Saladin's wisdom, he will surely understand the profound meaning behind it."
Then, Lin Ke looked at Ramses again.
"Then, we will set off back to Holy Egypt tomorrow afternoon."
"I have to go back and take care of some domestic matters and make sure everything is running smoothly."
"I'm afraid the succubus alone won't be able to hold out for long."
When Saul and the Pope heard this, they just looked surprised and confused.
"Succubus?"
Lin Ke just waved his hand, indicating that they don't need to worry about it.
Then, the Pope cautiously asked again: "Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, are you going back to Holy Egypt now?"
"We thought you would stay here for a few more days."
