Nadir Shah and Leonidas returned to the places from whence they had come.
When Leonidas returned to his position, he simply slowly put on his helmet and picked up his spear again.
Some Spartan warriors who were originally confused and wanted to know what Nadir Shah said did not choose to ask after seeing their king put on the helmet.
Of course, the fact that the King of Kings of Persia appeared here was enough to explain the reason. The enemy emperor came to surrender their Spartan king.
But they could understand something from the ugly expression of the Persian emperor. Even though Leonidas didn't say a word, all the Spartan warriors knew that their king had made his choice.
But on the other side, where the Persian camp was located, the situation was completely different.
At this moment, Nadir Shah returned to the golden throne in his tent with a solemn expression.
He didn't even sit back on his throne, he just stared at his throne, his eyes wide with anger.
He waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, leaving only a few of his closest generals by his side.
"Our great God-King, King of Kings!"
"We await your orders!"
Several generals knelt and bowed, and of course, they could not fail to notice the emperor's unnatural facial twitching.
"With just one command from you, we will lead our elite troops and crush the Spartans wherever they are!"
"We will offer you the head of that ignorant Spartan king!"
Nadir Shah did not turn around, his eyes were still wide with anger.
"That stubborn Spartan! How dare he refuse my gift!"
Several generals swallowed hard before speaking slowly.
"The actions of the King of Sparta were extremely foolish, King of Kings!"
"He has no idea of his situation and has no respect for you at all!"
"He deserves to die!"
Nadir Shah listened to what everyone was saying but did not answer immediately.
At this time, he just turned slowly and walked to the high platform outside the tent.
From there he looked out over the Spartan lines in the distance.
The three hundred heavily armored soldiers were standing at the entrance of the valley.
But at this moment, in the eyes of Nadir Shah, those Spartans were just a group of ants who did not know how to live or die, a group of humble ants who challenged the authority of the entire Persian Empire.
"Why?"
Nadir Shah finally spoke slowly, but his voice still sounded full of doubt.
"With just his three hundred men, he dares to reject my proposal?"
Upon hearing this, a general immediately stepped forward.
"King of Kings, you are right!"
"Those Spartans dared to challenge your authority and your army with only 300 men!"
"They did this just to defend their ridiculous Spartan honor!"
Nadir Shah sneered upon hearing this: “Honor.”
"Honor cannot fill his belly, nor can it keep him warm on a cold night."
"Honor can't protect his people from slavery!"
"That Spartan is either crazy or..."
A general immediately followed up with: "Ignorance!"
"Only the ignorant would choose these useless and empty things!"
"King of Kings, if you give the order, we will present the head of the Spartan king to you!"
"He rejected your gift. You must make this ignorant and reckless guy pay the price!"
When Nadir Shah heard this, he stretched his mouth and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Then he faced his generals.
"I will give you one chance."
"I will use the full might of the Persian Empire to completely defeat the Spartan king's pitiful three hundred men."
"Capture him alive! I want him to see with his own eyes how his people and queen were tortured to death, and how we trampled and burned the city of Sparta."
"I will also let Leonidas see with his own eyes how ridiculous the honor he defends is."
"Everything he cares about, I will destroy it all with my own hands!"
Nadir Shah clenched his fists tightly while saying this.
At this moment, Nadir Shah's generals all knelt on the ground and prostrated themselves.
"As you command! Our great King of Kings!"
"We will mobilize all our elite troops to crush these lunatics wherever they are!"
Nadir Shah nodded. "Very good, but this is not enough!"
"I want to let them experience true despair!"
"Send the order and gather the remaining vanguard troops, including the reserve troops and logistics personnel."
"I will overwhelm them with numbers, even if it means sacrificing a thousand soldiers for one Spartan."
Several generals were stunned. They did not quite understand what Nadir Shah meant.
After all, their previous vanguard army lost thousands of men when they launched the attack, while the Spartans did not even lose a single one.
It was precisely because of this major setback that the morale of the vanguard army was greatly weakened.
Now, Nadir Shah actually issued another suicidal order with extremely low returns?
After thinking for a while, a general spoke hesitantly.
"This... King of Kings, such a high casualty rate will probably have a huge impact on morale."
"As long as we use our elite troops, I think we can break through this in the shortest possible time..."
