Of course, Leonidas's leg didn't cramp.
He is the king of Spartan warriors, the most unique and powerful warrior among the thousands of elite Spartan warriors.
In fact, many of the Spartan warriors here were trained by him personally.
So, as soon as Leonidas said this, the little smile that remained on Nadir Shah's face froze.
Nadir Shah's outstretched arms hung in the air.
That hug-like gesture now made Nadir Shah look very funny.
Even the Persians behind Nadir Shah did not dare to look in that direction anymore, they just lowered their heads deeply.
As for Nadir Shah's Persian generals, they had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Some people even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
Their great King of kings extended an olive branch to each other, offering unparalleled glory and wealth.
And the other party actually refused with such a reason?
Even embarrassed their God-King, the King of Kings?
Nadir Shah slowly lowered his arms, and his facial muscles began to twitch slightly.
Especially around the corners of the eyes and mouth, it is obviously a clear sign of trying hard to suppress anger.
Nadir Shah's breathing became long now, his chest rising and falling loudly but very slowly.
The muscles in Nadir Shah's jaws began to bulge, and he spoke slowly, his voice surprisingly calm.
"The King of Sparta."
"You must know, Leonidas, that during my long reign I have seen many stubborn opponents."
"But people like you are rare."
Leonidas shrugged, pretending to be helpless.
"I'm just telling the truth."
Then, he took off the armor on his thigh, revealing his extremely strong thigh muscles.
In an instant, Nadir Shah's smile disappeared.
His facial expression became cold and stiff, as if the air around him had dropped several degrees in an instant.
He took a step forward, and the sound of his boots crushing the ground was like crushing something.
"You should know the consequences of this, King of Sparta."
Nadir Shah did not even address Leonidas by name.
Now, his voice began to tremble slightly, of course, it was not because of fear, but because he was trying hard to suppress his anger.
"Do you think you can withstand the flood of the Persian Empire with just your three hundred warriors?"
Leonidas still maintained his innocent look.
"We've communicated a few times, and I think we can communicate a few more times."
"There may be more Spartans communicating with you soon..."
Nadir Shah immediately interrupted Leonidas.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"How dare you refuse my gift?"
"I personally give you a gift?"
"Do you know the power of the Persian Empire?"
"Do you know what real war is?"
He began to pace slowly around Leonidas, like a predator observing its prey.
"When my army crushes Sparta, your palace will be plundered and your treasures will become my spoils!"
Nadir Shah stopped behind Leonidas and lowered his voice even more.
"Your people, those Spartans who call themselves warriors, will be slaughtered by my soldiers like cattle."
"Their heads will be hung on poles in the Spartan Square, leaving the survivors to face the gaze of death day and night."
However, Leonidas remained motionless after hearing these words, like an unshakable mountain.
"All the people of Sparta will be our slaves forever."
"Your descendants, and all the descendants of Spartans, will die in slavery."
"And those who survive, especially the beautiful Spartan women, will be assigned to the soldiers in my army."
"You know what Spartan women were famous for? Not just their beauty, but their passion and skill."
Leonidas finally reacted, his brows slightly furrowed, and several fingers began to squeeze together.
Nadir Shah noticed this change and looked somewhat triumphant.
"Ah, speaking of your woman, what's her name?"
"She's the Queen of Sparta? Is she?"
"I will cherish her as you do, but if she is as ungrateful as you are, I will have no choice but to give her to the soldiers in my army."
"Spartan, King."
Nadir Shah deliberately dragged out his words.
Then, Leonidas slowly turned and looked Nadir Shah straight in the eyes.
Even Leonidas smiled again.
"It seems you don't know much about Spartan women."
"Our Spartan women are different. If you want to understand them, you might as well bring her here."
"When she picks up her spear and shield, even I am afraid."
Nadir Shah was going mad.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a long step forward until he was almost right in front of Leonidas' nose.
The king and the emperor were face to face, so close that they could feel each other's breath.
"Listen up, King of Sparta."
Nadir Shah barely managed the sound.
“No one who rejects me will have a good ending.”
Leonidas stretched his mouth wide at this time and nodded casually.
"I can hear you very clearly. We don't need to be so close."
Thus, Nadir Shah’s voice sounded even more terrifying.
"I'm giving you my final warning!"
"If you refuse this gift, I will wipe Sparta out of this world!"
"No one will remember your names, no one will sing your stories, and even your graves will be dug up by wild dogs!"
"Sparta, this name, will disappear from the pages of history without a trace, as if it never existed!"
When Nadir Shah said this, his hands were clenched into fists, veins popped out, and saliva even splashed out of his lips.
He could hardly control his anger, which was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to burst out at any moment.
Leonidas stared at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He also showed the same triumphant smile as Nadir Shah had shown not long ago.
"You have many slaves, Nadir Shah."
"It's a pity that you don't have many real warriors."
Nadir Shah's facial muscles twitched, and his eyes instantly turned red, as if flames were burning in them.
"We'll see."
Nadir Shah turned sharply.
"We'll see! Leonidas!"
"You will pay for what you did today!"
Leonidas also turned and walked towards his own line.
