On the flat ground in front of Thermopylae, there was only the sound of the wind.
The Persian general couldn't help swallowing when he looked at Leonidas.
Because they found that this Spartan had an intimidating aura.
They didn't know where that temperament came from, but they knew clearly that it was very dangerous.
"Leonidas, King of Sparta."
Nadir Shah spoke up.
He opened his arms slightly, looking like he was going to hug Leonidas, but it was an insincere, slightly open hug.
"come over."
Nadir Shah looked at Leonidas, but he stopped first.
"I've heard about your deeds."
"Sparta, the king of Sparta."
"You led three hundred warriors and fought tenaciously here."
Nadir Shah raised his head slightly, while Leonidas listened quietly with an interested look.
That's right, even when facing this emperor who had an army of hundreds of thousands, a vast territory and endless wealth, Leonidas did not show any fear at all.
Nadir Shah continued speaking.
"Brave Spartans."
“Our cultures have many similarities.”
"Why not share it with me?"
Leonidas actually smiled slightly when he heard what Nadir Shah said.
"King of kings of Persia."
"You came here in person, surely not to declare war on me."
"But didn't you notice?"
"We have shared our Spartan culture with you three times now."
Leonidas said.
There was no expression on Nadir Shah's face, but his slightly raised head also rose a little.
"It is not wise to confront the Persian Empire."
"You Greeks do things very logically and intelligently."
"My advice to you is to learn to think like a true Greek."
Leonidas simply continued to stare into Nadir Shah's eyes.
"I am a Greek, but I am more of a Spartan."
"Spartans have a Spartan way."
Leonidas now looked behind Nadir Shah.
He saw various elite representatives of the Persian Empire, and even saw messengers who could summon gods.
Nadir Shah thought that this would scare Leonidas, but Leonidas' expression did not change.
He still looked at Nadir Shah with interest.
"I thought you wanted to avenge your tactician and vanguard troops."
Nadir Shah raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this.
"That's just a small thing."
"I won't get hung up on a single victory or defeat."
"And I won't blame it on the Spartans."
Nadir Shah said this, his words sounded like praise, but his expression seemed a little cold.
"Leonidas, I see something rare in you."
“That’s a quality.”
"The Persian Empire is vast, but finding warriors like you is a real challenge."
Leonidas naturally understood what Nadir Shah meant, but he did not respond immediately.
He still looked interested, and other than that, no other emotions could be seen.
"Leonidas."
"The King of Sparta."
Nadir Shah continued speaking, this time narrowing his eyes slightly.
"The Persian Empire is expanding."
"All of Greece will soon be at my feet."
Nadir Shah paused when he said this, deliberately allowing Leonidas to hear more clearly.
"And I can make you very rich."
"I can give you all of Greece."
When Leonidas heard this, he frowned slightly, while Nadir Shah continued speaking.
"Your opponent, Athens."
"The Athenians you dislike."
"They will kneel at your feet and submit to you."
"All Greeks will obey your orders."
When Leonidas heard this, all expression disappeared from his face.
Then, there was a puzzled expression that seemed innocent.
"You want Sparta to become your vassal?"
Nadir Shah just shook his head.
"No, not just a vassal."
"You're different."
"When I conquer all of Greece, I will appoint you as governor of Greece."
"All the city-states, Athens, Corinth, Thebes, will submit to your rule."
"You will become the leader of all Greece and one of the highest generals in Persia."
Nadir Shah took a step forward and lowered his voice.
"I know your dislike for those Athenian city-states."
"Now, I give you a chance to unify Greece."
"But with the help of the power of the Persian Empire."
The corner of Leonidas' mouth twitched, and it was unclear whether it was because the Persian king's words touched him or because he was disgusted.
"Your palace will be ten times more magnificent than it is now, your wives and concubines will come from all over the empire, and your children will receive the best education and become future leaders."
Nadir Shah paused briefly, giving Leonidas enough time to digest these tempting conditions.
"Most importantly, you will preserve the lives and honor of the Spartans."
