Lin Ke stared at the succubus's pupils which were gradually turning into heart shapes, his expression still as calm as water.
His fingers unconsciously stroked the bronze armor on his waist, while his mind quickly integrated all the information.
The "vision" on the civilization panel, the empty city of Hebron and the tens of thousands of residents who disappeared out of thin air.
Every clue was spinning in his mind like a puzzle, but the most crucial piece was always missing.
Lin Ke always felt that he was very close to the answer.
As long as they can figure out all of this, the Holy Egyptian Army may be able to capture the city of Hebron safely.
Even, win without fighting.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh?"
The succubus' voice brought him back to reality.
Her originally charming face was now filled with worry, and her heart-shaped pupils trembled slightly.
She cautiously took half a step forward and subconsciously and slightly uneasily shook her tail a few times.
"Are you... okay?"
Her voice had rarely lost its usual laziness, and there was a slight tremor in the ending tone.
Because, when His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh frowns, it usually means that he has "discovered" something important.
"Did my words remind you of anything?"
The succubus continued to ask with concern, but Lin Ke raised her hand to stop her from talking.
This action made the succubus dare not speak anymore, and she even took half a step back unconsciously.
She had rarely seen the Holy Pharaoh look like this.
He moved slowly, and the bronze armor that looked like a robe made a slight clinking sound.
At this moment, Lin Ke suddenly heard a hurried voice coming from not far away.
"Report!"
A messenger wearing light armor and holding a torch almost stumbled into the camp of the Holy Egyptian Alliance.
He was already somewhat unsteady on his feet, and was carried in by the Amazonian female warriors.
His helmet was askew, his face was covered in sweat and dust, and there were a few fresh scratches on his breastplate.
Obviously, he might have encountered those contaminated "plants" that would attack people on the way.
"I have an urgent matter to report to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Although he was breathing heavily, he spoke very clearly.
"His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is over there. We will take you there now!"
Lin Ke heard some sudden noisy noises in the camp, so he led the succubus into the camp.
When he saw His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, the messenger immediately knelt on one knee.
Lin Ke looked at his rapid breathing and hoarse voice and knew that he had been running all day.
I guess even the horses ran to death.
"Get up."
"What's so urgent?"
Lin Ke raised her hand to signal him to stand up, her eyes falling on a piece of bloodstained cloth hanging around his waist.
There is also the symbol of the Philistine city-state on it.
He first checked the civilization panel, but did not find any "obvious" abnormalities.
The messenger swallowed his saliva and tried to calm his breathing: "Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, a city-state in Philistia... has shown signs of pollution!"
As soon as his voice came out, the succubus' pupils suddenly contracted and the heart-shaped eyes immediately disappeared.
That's not good news.
Lin Ke just nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"Two days ago, people in the city started going crazy. Bluish-gray patches appeared on their skin, and their eyes started to become bloodshot..."
The messenger's voice became faster and faster.
"In less than half a day, nearly a hundred people have been completely contaminated. They are extremely aggressive and attack anyone they see. Some even eat their companions alive!"
Lin Ke's expression remained calm, but his fingers tapped the bronze armor unconsciously: "So, what was the result?"
"The garrison has cleared out all mutants."
The messenger's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he continued.
"But... there's something wrong with the water source!"
"The water delivered to the Holy Egyptian Alliance is safe, but all the wells and small lakes in the city... have turned blood red."
The succubus took a sharp breath of cold air. This phenomenon was a sign of being completely polluted.
She glanced at His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, but found that his frown did not deepen.
"The scariest thing is..."
The messenger lowered his voice: "The pollution range is still expanding. When I set out, the oasis thirty miles away from Maki City also began to experience the same situation!"
"The situation is extremely urgent, so I have come to report to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
The tent fell into dead silence.
The succubus still looked at Lin Ke from time to time, but found that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh's expression was still calm.
“You did a great job.”
At this time, Lin Ke was just greeting a few Amazon female warriors.
"Take him down to rest first. We still have plenty of food and water here."
The messenger saluted and withdrew, feeling relieved.
The succubus finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, this situation is worse than we expected!"
"The pollution has actually spread out!"
"If we reach the border of Holy Egypt, wouldn't it be..."
Lin Ke raised his hand to interrupt her, and he just called a few more messengers.
"Someone come."
Four elite soldiers immediately opened the tent and entered.
"Send an order."
"First, all cities in the Holy Egyptian Alliance will immediately enter Level 1 alert and store as much clean water as possible."
The soldier quickly unfolded the parchment and dipped the quill pen into ink.
