Nadir Shah stood up and began to scan the troops around him.
"Then let me introduce my army to this respected Holy Pharaoh."
"This is the most elite undead army of my Persian army. Each of them is a warrior trained from childhood. They have fought for the empire for decades and have never been defeated."
Nadir Shah said and pointed to the other side.
"Those are the elite troops from all over the empire. Each one of them is the best warrior among their tribes."
Nadir Shah said this, his chin raised again.
"Then there were our cavalry, who once pursued the fleeing enemy for sixty miles in a single day and annihilated them all."
His gestures became more and more exaggerated, as if he wanted to present the whole world to Lin Ke.
"And in the rear, is my main force."
"One million two hundred thousand infantry, one hundred thousand cavalry, and twenty thousand chariots."
"Holy Pharaoh, if you had an army like this, it would be enough to conquer any country in the world."
"Whether it's Greece or somewhere else."
Nadir Shah returned to his chair and looked down at Lin Ke.
"Even if we Persians don't send out our divine messengers, how much of a threat can you, Holy Egypt, pose to our Persian Empire?"
"How many of my warriors can that god kill? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?"
"Holy Pharaoh, do you think an army like this would be shaken by the loss of ten or twenty thousand soldiers?"
"not to mention......"
Nadir Shah raised his voice, making sure everyone here could hear him.
"Holy Pharaoh, conquering Greece would benefit both of us."
“In Greece, you get a steady supply of food, and I get access to the Mediterranean.”
"We could even sign an agreement guaranteeing Holy Egypt a privileged position within the future empire."
He took a step forward and finally made the inviting embrace.
"Tell me, Holy Pharaoh—"
"Will you side with barbaric, divided, impoverished Greece, or with the civilized, united, wealthy Persian Empire?"
"This is a simple question, but it also concerns the fate of the Holy Egypt."
"As for the World Conference, I can let you go with me."
"How's it going, Holy Pharaoh?"
Lin Ke looked at Nadir Shah. Obviously, he knew very well that Nadir Shah's attitude had changed because of his description of Holy Egypt.
At least Nadir Shah was certain that Holy Egypt was a kingdom with gods and not a very weak one.
What's more, in addition to Leonidas, Lin Ke's bargaining chip also includes the Sword of Truth.
The generals around began to discuss in low voices, and some even began to think about what benefits they could gain from the surrender of Holy Egypt.
At this time, Lin Ke just raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"King of kings, you are absolutely right."
"Everywhere I look, I see the armies of the Persian Empire."
"With so many of them, I think conquering the entire Greek continent wouldn't be a problem."
Nadir Shah looked somewhat happy when he heard Lin Ke's words.
After that fool Leonidas rejected him, finally someone with some sense came along!
So he raised his arms higher.
But Lin Ke's voice appeared again at this time.
"But King of kings, with all due respect, you are mistaken in your judgment."
Nadir Shah's smile immediately disappeared and turned very cold.
"Was there an error in judgment? Where was the error?"
Lin Ke looked directly into Nadir Shah's eyes and his voice became louder.
At this moment, the magicians of the Persian Empire began to sweat profusely and turned their heads more frequently. They even began to ask each other if they had sensed an unusually powerful magical force.
"Your army may be able to conquer the continent where Greece is, but it cannot conquer the continent where Holy Egypt is."
"The Persian Empire's military might was indeed strong, but that didn't mean it was invincible."
“Throughout history, many powerful empires that seemed invincible ultimately collapsed due to overexpansion and complacency.”
Laughter erupted again nearby, but this time it was tinged with more confusion and discontent.
Some senior generals began to frown. They did not like anyone challenging Persia's military advantage, especially in front of the King of Kings.
"Excuse me, if the Persian army were in Holy Egypt today, the place would be littered with the corpses of your soldiers."
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals of the Persian Empire were furious.
"Enough! Saint Pharaoh, do you know what you are saying? Do you think a few nice words can change the situation?"
Another general echoed: "Yes, how dare you speak so recklessly, Holy Pharaoh!"
More and more generals joined the chorus of accusations, their voices growing louder and their rhetoric becoming increasingly fierce:
"The holy Egyptians have always been weak and powerless, hiding in the desert and worshiping their false gods!"
"Your army of Holy Egypt has 100,000 soldiers? How dare you challenge Persia?"
"This Holy Pharaoh knows nothing! King of Kings! Stop wasting your time with this scoundrel!"
As Nadir Shah listened to what everyone was saying, his expression became colder.
He even found that Lin Ke always maintained an annoying calmness, which made him feel even more unhappy.
"Quiet!"
Nadir Shah simply shouted and stared at the Holy Pharaoh.
However, the noise gradually subsided, but dissatisfaction still lingered in the air.
"Holy Pharaoh."
"I hope you understand how important today's opportunity is to your Holy Egypt."
"You are not just standing before a king, but the ruler of the largest empire in the world."
"Your choice not only affects the present of Holy Egypt, but will also affect the lives of future generations."
"If I conquer Greece, we will meet again one day."
He took another step forward and looked down at Lin Ke condescendingly.
"I can bring unprecedented opportunities and glory to Holy Egypt, but of course, I can also bring destruction and disaster."
"All of this depends on your decision now, Holy Pharaoh."
Nadir Shah took a deep breath, obviously, this was his ultimatum.
"I suggest you consider this carefully. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to stand on the right side of history."
“Don’t make the same mistake as Leonidas, whose stubbornness only resulted in a meaningless defeat.”
The generals and nobles around him nodded in agreement, believing that the young ruler would soon succumb to the tremendous pressure.
Leonidas, looking at the scene in front of him, just tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.
Lin Ke just smiled slightly.
"Yes, the King of Kings is right."
"Not everyone has the opportunity to stand on the right side of history."
At this time, Lin Ke raised his arm slightly.
