The Persian Strait was shrouded in fog before dawn.
It was a huge gray ribbon that separated Asia from the European continent.
The waves are rising and falling on the sea.
But neither the waves nor the blanketing fog could conceal the breathtaking engineering "miracle" of Persia.
That is the floating bridge across the strait. It is right there, quietly waiting to carry the army of the King of kings to conquer the world.
Nadir Shah was currently standing on a high platform watching the battle.
The platform was built on a commanding point on the coast, from where Nadir Shah could overlook the entire strait and the floating bridge.
Just like his supreme and incomparable great status, he is now standing at the highest point of the strait.
Nadir Shah was dressed in a gorgeous purple and gold robe and wore a crown inlaid with jewels.
Some Persian soldiers now addressed him not just as the King of Kings, but as the Divine King of Kings.
If his army had conquered Greece and most of the Mediterranean, Nadir Shah's holy name might have become "Eternal King" and "Lord of the World".
The sun rises and the light shines down.
Half of his well-defined face was hidden in the shadows, while the other half was gilded by the morning light.
When the Persian soldiers below raised their heads, they could just see Nadir Shah's "god-like" appearance.
"The time has come."
As soon as Nadir Shah finished speaking, his words were passed down one after another by messengers like treasures.
Finally, his order turned into a loud trumpet sound, "Woo--" sounding in the distance.
Then the earth began to shake.
The fog was driven back by the sound, and the sea surface began to wail.
The buzzing sound gradually intensified, as if thousands of thunders began to converge.
This is an army of unprecedented size in human history.
The great army of Nadir Shah, the great army of Persia.
They are moving.
The first to step onto the pontoon bridge were heavily armored Royal Guardsmen.
His spear pointed straight to the sky, and behind him, a steel jungle was advancing.
"go ahead!"
"Today, the name of Persia will resound throughout the world!"
"Let the Greeks surrender to us!"
Next came the soldiers from all over the empire, wearing different armor, different headdresses, and holding similar yet different weapons.
On both sides of the strait, many people who are not involved in this war are watching with bated breath.
Among them were Persian nobles from various places, as well as some leaders who had been occupied by Persia and were now only "officials".
There were even a few brave Greek businessmen.
Of course, they were here because they had taken refuge with the powerful Persian Empire.
In addition, it was because the city where they were located was the most remote city in Greece and the closest city to Persia.
Their city lord had secretly surrendered to Nadir Shah long ago, so these merchants also started trading weapons for the Persian Empire very early on.
Of course, they also wanted to know how powerful the Persian Empire was.
However, after seeing this army with their own eyes, they felt that the power of the Persian Empire was far beyond their imagination.
At this time, a Greek businessman covered his forehead with his hands and looked into the distance.
"I've never seen an army of this size."
"I'm afraid Greece will need to unite with other kingdoms to fight against such a large army."
When he said this, he couldn't help swallowing again.
The sun was out, but he still felt extremely cold.
"Such a scale, such a number."
"I'm afraid that the Greek Federation and the Holy Egyptian Alliance combined can barely match it..."
At this moment, a Persian noble on the side immediately reached out and covered the mouth of the person who was speaking.
"Don't say those three words!"
"In the palace, an official raised the very thing you just mentioned, and he was immediately dragged away and beheaded!"
"The mouth can cause trouble! If you want to die, don't drag us all down with you!"
After these words were spoken, no one around spoke anymore.
They just stared with wide eyes as the endless army slowly moved onto the pontoon bridge.
However, even they don’t know whether this army will ever have an end.
After all, the army now on the pontoon bridge is less than one percent, or even one thousandth, of the Persian army.
On the other side, Nadir Shah remained motionless, just looking at the army below.
Here, he could clearly see whether officials and generals in all areas of the empire had sent their troops here in accordance with his instructions.
"The great God-King, King of kings."
A high official knelt on the ground and admired Nadir Shah.
"I'm afraid even the legendary Cyrus the Great never witnessed such a magnificent sight."
Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Persian Empire and the "prologue" of Persian history.
He started from scratch, built a great system, and injected soul into Persia with his wisdom and tolerance.
Simply put, Cyrus the Great created the Persian Empire from 0 to 1.
In the eyes of the speaker, the Persian Empire ruled by Nadir Shah today is even more powerful than during the time of Cyrus the Great, so he said such words.
However, when Nadir Shah heard this, he just nodded slightly and did not respond.
"Now, under your rule, the Persian Empire has regained its original glory, and even surpassed it."
"In today's world, no king can compare with you!"
"You are the greatest emperor in the world today!"
Nadir Shah listened to his words, just turned his head slightly and did not respond.
At this moment, another official spoke up.
"If I may say so, I think Holy Egypt, located south of the Mediterranean Sea, is a serious threat to the King of Kings."
As soon as these words were spoken, several generals stared at the person who spoke with wide eyes.
He was the closest region of the Persian Empire to Holy Egypt, and as such, he was the "leader" of that region.
However, it was now occupied by the Persian Empire, so he became a member of the Persian Empire and was able to obey Nadir Shah's orders directly.
But it was obvious that he didn't know what had happened in the palace.
"The Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt has now unified the continent he is on."
"For Holy Egypt, their Holy Pharaoh was also a king who pushed Holy Egypt to its peak."
"King of Kings, after you conquer Greece, you will surely conquer Holy Egypt as well."
"Otherwise, over time, I'm afraid that Saint Egypt will become a serious threat to you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence.
