As everyone listened to Lin Ke's words, they felt as if the sky above their heads suddenly opened up, as if there was a sun shining down on them.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, you have seen so far ahead?!"
"To us, mediating the war between the two armies is nothing but a dangerous, even meaningless task. However, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has already foreseen such a long-term future!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, we truly admire you!"
Several people knelt on one knee, and their words began to become passionate and excited.
Even Nan Tong, who needed someone to support him just now, was able to stand up straight now.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Then how can we help you!"
Nan Tong asked, his eyes slightly emitting a magical light.
"You are going to mediate between the two armies this time, but I am afraid that our Holy Egypt's military strength is not sufficient."
"Furthermore, the old minister's magical power has not been restored."
"What's more, you said before that the relations among the Greek city-states were not harmonious, and it would be difficult to form an effective alliance."
"I'm afraid these factors will affect you?"
"What can we do to help you?"
Nan Tong hit the nail on the head, but Lin Ke lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Now is not the time to reveal the whole plan. Lin Ke must first reach Thermopylae to get the answer.
"You're right, the situation is indeed a bit complicated."
"But I can tell you now what is about to happen at Thermopylae."
"Thermopylae is very close to the city-state of Sparta. This means that the Persian army first threatened Sparta."
Several people blinked a few times as they listened to Lin Ke's words.
"So, the people you want to mediate this time are Sparta and Persia?"
At this moment, Lin Ke continued to speak.
"That's right."
"Leonidas, the Spartan king, will soon lead three hundred elite warriors to Thermopylae."
After Lin Ke said this, there was silence.
Everyone thought there was something wrong with their ears.
"Three hundred men against the Persian army?"
"Didn't you say that Persia had an army of hundreds of thousands?"
The succubus' eyes widened in disbelief.
"This...isn't this just suicide?"
"Three hundred people?"
Lin Ke nodded, and everyone was even more dumbfounded.
"That's right."
"Sparta will be defeated in this battle, and their king will die."
Everyone became more and more shocked as they listened to Lin Ke's words.
In their view, the king's death in battle was no different from His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh dying on the front line.
That was beyond their comprehension.
"Are all the Spartans dead? How could they let their king go to war?!"
"The king himself went to Thermopylae, and their warriors didn't follow?!"
"It seems that the Spartans are all a bunch of cowards!"
Lin Ke looked at the angry faces of the crowd and was stunned for a moment.
Of course, they cannot understand the Spartan system now. After all, in Lin Ke's understanding, the power of Sparta is in the hands of the parliament, unlike Holy Egypt, where all power is concentrated in his hands.
Simply put, this is simply because the two systems are different.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
The sound of the lookout came from high above.
"There are a lot of ships ahead, it looks like a merchant fleet!"
Lin Ke immediately went up to the bridge and observed from a distance.
Sure enough, it was a large merchant fleet with about thirty ships.
However, they are operating under the banner of neutral merchants.
"Slow down and watch carefully."
Lin Ke gave the order and then turned to the crowd.
"This is good news. It seems our route is correct."
"These should be trading ships heading to Greece. They might be able to provide us with some intelligence."
"Approach them! Send them a friendly message, saying we have some grain to sell!"
The fleet adjusted its course and sailed parallel to the merchant fleet.
Although the Holy Egyptian fleet was some distance away from the merchant fleet, Lin Ke could still see the shock in the eyes of those merchants.
They looked at the ships and flags of Holy Egypt, and were obviously shocked by the owners of these ships.
Lin Ke knew very well that in their eyes, Holy Egypt was a civilization without naval power.
But now, all Holy Egypt has are large ships, and they are well-built and can carry a lot of cargo and soldiers.
Therefore, the merchants did not dare to bring their ships close to the ships of Holy Egypt, but kept a vigilant distance.
After a while, a smaller ship separated from the caravan and headed towards the Holy Egyptian fleet.
On the boat stood a thickly bearded Greek merchant, his eyes filled with shock as he approached the large ships flying the flags of the Desert and the Nile.
He couldn't even utter a word, he just stared blankly.
Until, some holy Egyptian soldiers invited them to board the ship.
"Ah, thank you very much, thank you sir."
The Greek merchant stammered his thanks in the common language, which he obviously did not use often.
"Our Holy Pharaoh wants to see you."
"He has some questions to ask. If you can answer them, His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh will surely reward you handsomely."
Originally, the Greek merchant frowned and smiled apologetically when he heard the five words "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh". He obviously did not know the meaning of these five words.
However, when he saw a god of golden light, a demon, an old man, and a person dressed in extraordinary clothes in the middle, he immediately understood what "His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh" represented.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
The businessman didn't bow, he just held out his hand.
Several people looked at the Greek businessman in shock. Even Nan Tong, who only had the power of an ultimate magician, seemed to be about to make a threat.
"How dare you! This is His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Kneel down quickly..."
Just as Nan Tong raised her voice, Lin Ke simply raised his arm and interrupted Nan Tong.
Of course, this situation only occurred because the culture of Greece and the culture of Holy Egypt were very different.
"Hello, Greek merchant, your fleet is quite large. It seems that your business has been booming."
"I am the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt. You can understand him as the King of Holy Egypt."
As expected.
As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, the other party's expression became more shocked.
Even when he was planning to shake hands, he just withdrew his hand with a "whoosh".
"What?!"
"You, you are the King of Holy Egypt?!"
Lin Ke nodded and stretched out her hand to him.
So, in the midst of everyone's wide-eyed shock, they actually saw that the merchant touched the holy body of the Holy Pharaoh.
