"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you are still so high-spirited!"
At this time, Arthas bowed slightly to Lin Ke, and Lin Ke and him met on the banks of the Nile River, where his [Shipyard] was located.
Today, the number of Holy Egyptian Navy here has grown from dozens at the beginning to hundreds.
You know, it hasn't even been a week yet, and this rate of personnel growth has slightly exceeded Lin Ke's expectations.
"Arthas, how are you?"
"Your sailors are still as calm as you are."
"You see, they are even more agile in the water than on land."
Lin Ke looked at several Atlantis marines who suddenly jumped out of the water. Although they had human bodies, their movements were no different from those of the fish in the water.
It was as if they were originally creatures of the sea and came to land only because they had no choice.
But they look like humans. If it weren't for their movements in the water, no one would be able to tell from their appearance that they are the sea people from Atlantis.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, it seems that Holy Egypt also has warriors who are familiar with water."
"If they are trained, they will be much more powerful than those warriors who are not familiar with water."
"Look over there, over there, those are the holy Egyptians you mentioned before, living in the Nile River villages."
"They are now able to stay underwater for several minutes and can open their eyes underwater to observe and wait for an opportunity to strike."
Lin Ke looked in the direction where Arthas pointed, and he clearly saw that many Holy Egyptian soldiers were also performing many difficult moves.
"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, I said before that most of Holy Egypt lives inland and is not familiar with water. Now it seems that my words were too hasty."
"And I hope you can forgive me."
Arthas said this, bowing slightly, while Lin Ke just raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand gently.
"Don't say that. Look, if I didn't have these warriors of yours to help me, I don't know how I would train the Holy Egyptian navy."
"I'm afraid I can only keep building ships and fighting the enemy on the sea."
"But you also know that the situation at sea is unpredictable and completely different from land, especially the desert."
"It's not just the temperature, there's also the wind and waves. Most importantly, if the ship is damaged or burned by fire, the soldiers on board will have no choice but to wait for death."
"I don't want the warriors of Holy Egypt to die like grass. I know very well that if they were on land or in the desert, every one of them would be a brave soldier."
"Even if they died, they should have been able to put up a bit of a fight, rather than drowning in the water or being burned on the boat."
When Arthas heard what Lin Ke said, he just widened his eyes slightly, and then he bowed again.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is absolutely right."
"I finally understand why Holy Egypt is so powerful now."
"It is not only because of your power, but also because of your gaze and your kindness towards all the holy Egyptians."
"I think if any leader were in power today, all they would think about would be to continue building ships, or to build bigger ships and connect them so they are as stable as land."
"But Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you are thinking of people, your soldiers, not ships."
"From this point of view, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is completely different from other monarchs. This is also the reason why Holy Egypt can grow stronger under your leadership!"
"I have benefited greatly from listening to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's words today!"
"Thanks you!"
Arthas bowed again, and Lin Ke's eyebrows just curled slightly.
Of course, he was not a man of this era, and he knew very well what the consequences would be if large ships were built or connected.
Ships can be easily destroyed by enemy fire attacks, and there are too many cases in history to prove that even if the size and number of ships have an advantage, it may not necessarily lead to final victory.
However, if it was a ship with guns and cannons, it would be a different matter. But in the era that Lin Ke lives in, the size and number of ships cannot determine victory.
Therefore, Lin Ke is very clear that the quality of personnel is much more important than that of ships in this era.
Not to mention their enemies were the Vikings on the sea.
Although the people of Holy Egypt and Atlantis knew almost nothing about this nation, Lin Ke knew what kind of nation the Vikings were.
If Holy Egypt is compared to a cheetah and Atlantis is compared to a dolphin, then the Vikings are the thick-skinned crocodiles.
They were another nation, another race, different from the desert people of Holy Egypt, and also different from the ocean peoples like Atlantis.
Lin Ke even thought that even a fully armed Holy Egyptian warrior would probably not be a match for an unarmed Viking.
So, he must prepare in advance.
However, in addition to coming here to check the situation of the navy, Lin Ke also had something to ask Arthas.
"By the way, Arthas."
"Have your sea beast cavalry patrolling the coastline sent back any intelligence?"
The sea beast cavalry that Linke mentioned was Arthas's troops sent by Linke to temporarily protect the coastline of Holy Egypt.
Arthas smiled slightly at this time, and then spoke.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, our sea beast cavalry did discover some strange ships."
"However, those strange ships did not approach the coastline of Holy Egypt, so they only maintained vigilance and did not launch an attack."
Lin Ke nodded, and then asked, "Besides that?"
"Any other news?"
Arthas listened to Lin Ke's words and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, our sea beast cavalry also reported that most of the guys on the ships have beards and are using heavy weapons such as axes and heavy blades."
"They are strong, but there are not many of them."
"The sea beast cavalry can easily destroy their ships and drag them into the water."
"Despite the size gap, we were still able to use our strengths to gain the upper hand in the ocean."
When Lin Ke heard this, he just nodded slightly.
"That's good."
"If there is any other news, please let me know immediately."
Arthas bowed slightly at this time: "Yes, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Don't worry, we are here to protect the coast of Holy Egypt and will never let any enemy set foot on the land of Holy Egypt."
