Nadir Shah said this while looking around at the bodies.
"Look around you."
"The cause you dedicated yourself to has failed."
"Look around you."
"My army has silenced your pitiful warriors."
"Look at the distance again. My archers are ready to unleash a rain of arrows that will cover the sky and the sun at any time."
"Your warriors are already dead or wounded. Why don't you accept a dignified end?"
Of course, the reason why Nadir Shah once again invited Leonidas was because in his opinion, Leonidas had no way out, so the Spartan king would definitely agree to his "invitation".
You know, Leonidas rejected Nadir Shah twice.
So, Nadir Shah wanted to take back the humiliation he had suffered double here.
He wanted Leonidas to become his slave, and only in this way could the Spartan warriors behind Leonidas save their lives.
Leonidas was silent for a moment, his eyes shifting from side to side.
It was obvious that there were so many people here that Leonidas and his warriors were very tired.
Their bodies were covered with scars, and only a breath of air and their strong will continued to inject energy into their frail bodies, allowing them to continue fighting.
Nadir Shah looked at Leonidas with a smile, and he raised his arms higher and higher, as if he was sure of victory.
However, he did not see the fear on Leonidas' face as he had expected.
On the contrary, he actually saw a smile on Leonidas' face again.
He didn't like that smile, so he frowned first.
"God King, King of Kings."
Leonidas said this, his expression showing a hint of contempt.
"You are just like your divinity, so generous."
"The God-King, Nadir Shah."
Nadir Shah narrowed his eyes, not quite understanding what Leonidas meant by this ambiguous answer.
"Your Spartans have been completely defeated. Your resistance now is meaningless."
"Tell me, what is the value of the cause you have devoted your life to? What glory will you receive after your death?"
"Why not join my army? Your glory will shine across all of Greece!"
When Leonidas heard this, he just laughed.
"God King, Spartans never fear death, because we know that death is just a part of life."
"And you, despite possessing a vast empire and countless armies, live in constant fear of death."
Nadir Shah's face twisted with anger: "Then I will show you my true power!"
As he spoke, Nadir Shah suddenly raised his arm, and all the archers and magicians immediately took aim at Leonidas.
However, instead of dodging, Leonidas just looked around.
Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly took off his helmet.
It was this action that made Nadir Shah's eyes widen and he immediately put down his raised hand.
Because taking off the helmet usually means giving up resistance.
Nadir Shah stared closely at Leonidas' movements and expressions, and he couldn't figure out what the Spartan king was going to do.
However, he really wanted this powerful Spartan to submit to his command.
“Boom.”
Under the gaze of everyone, Leonidas knelt on the ground.
Then, his high head began to droop little by little.
Nadir Shah felt relieved. He slowly closed his eyes and once again made the movement that almost allowed him to hug a big tree.
His arms were raised higher and higher, as he enjoyed the joy of conquering this lion-like enemy.
"Spartans!"
"Spear!"
Leonidas stood up suddenly.
The Spartans behind him immediately threw their spears at their king.
Nadir Shah's eyes snapped open, and he saw Leonidas' mouth hanging open like a lion about to attack.
“Kill them!”
Nadir Shah roared wildly.
"Kill them all!"
In an instant, countless arrows shot from all directions.
Leonidas and the other Spartans did not dodge, but stood tall and faced their final fate.
Arrows began to fly one after another, piercing their bodies, but they did not fall down. Instead, they stood up by leaning against rocks or shields.
Leonidas, on the other hand, raised his spear high and threw it at Nadir Shah with all his strength.
The whole audience was silent.
The Persian magicians looked at the spear and began to cast magic to block it.
But that spear was the spear of the Spartan king, not an ordinary spear.
The obsidian at the tail can protect the spear from being affected by magic.
Nadir Shah took a step back unconsciously. He could clearly see that the spear was coming straight towards his chest.
The spear was moving so fast that he couldn't think of a way to escape in that short time.
The powerful magicians continued to use their magical powers, which slightly affected the flight path of the spear.
But at this moment, no one could predict whether the spear would pierce Nadir Shah's chest.
On the other side, the warriors behind Leonidas were pierced by magic and arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
And an arrow had hit Leonidas' shoulder.
If nothing unexpected happened, Leonidas' whole body would be pierced by the arrow in the next second, and he would lose his life immediately.
In a flash, a golden light flashed.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, that spear will not cause a fatal wound to the King of Persia."
“You can proceed as planned.”
The spear exploded into pieces in an instant, and Leonidas' body was immediately surrounded by golden light.
Nadir Shah saw many tiny fragments exploding in front of him, and he hurriedly raised his arms to cover his face.
On the other side, thousands of arrows broke with a "crackling" sound.
The Persian archers stared with wide eyes at the golden light surrounding Leonidas.
Nadir Shah then slowly lowered his arms and cast his gaze towards where Leonidas was.
Leonidas, on the other hand, simply straightened his chest and glared at Nadir Shah.
The anger on his face slowly disappeared and turned into confusion.
He looked at the man in front of him, who was radiating golden light but wearing chain mail.
He had never seen the man dressed like that before.
"you?"
"Who are you?"
