"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, I don't know what they are discussing."
Ramses looked at the Persian emperor and spoke to Lin Ke.
But Lin Ke's eyes were not on where the Persians were. Now, he was looking into the distance, at the Greek warships.
Now, several warships have sailed out and then stopped in front of the Greek fleet.
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well that the situation in Greece was probably far from as simple as it seemed.
The appearance of warships at this time meant that someone was opposing the Spartan King Leonidas.
Long before arriving in Greece, Lin Ke had heard the news of the hostility between Sparta and Athens.
And those warships that sailed out of the Greek fleet and then stopped were probably the warships of a Greek general.
The reason they stopped was probably because the king of Sparta was trying his best to stop them, and the two sides were now in a heated argument.
If the Athenian side wins, the warships will sail out of the Greek fleet. If the Spartan side wins, the warships will return to the Greek fleet formation.
"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh? Are you worried that the King of Sparta won't be able to complete the task you assigned him?"
Nan Tong followed Lin Ke's gaze and quickly guessed what Lin Ke was thinking.
As expected, Lin Ke nodded gently: "That's right."
"Right now, the Spartan king has no fleet, nothing that can be used as a counterweight to Athens."
"Not to mention, these Greek warships were only able to arrive here today because we released the news in advance."
"They have only one target, and that is these Persians who invaded Greece."
When Nan Tong heard this, he just looked a little confused.
"But Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, besides the Persians, our Holy Egyptian fleet is also here."
"According to your previous judgment, these Greeks would definitely not rashly approach the coast."
Lin Ke nodded, then shook his head slightly.
"You are right, but the King of Kings chose the worst solution."
"He summoned the gods."
"The gods are also a threat to the Greeks. Look over there, several of their warships have already left the fleet and are parked in front of it."
Nan Tong listened to Lin Ke's words and looked in the direction of the Greek fleet.
Sure enough, he could clearly see that the oars of several boats were raised and lowered, as if the rowers themselves did not know where to go.
"I don't understand, old minister."
"The current situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and it would be even more dangerous to approach rashly."
"Could it be that the Greeks will ignore the Spartan king's advice and still send their fleet towards us?"
"We know very little about those Greeks. If we allow them to join us, it will only complicate the situation, and you may lose control of the battlefield."
"The Greeks should also be aware that they don't know the situation here. Approaching rashly will only lead to a greater crisis."
"Why do they still do this?"
At this moment, Ramses slowly spoke.
"Because, on those ships, there were messengers of the Greek gods."
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh probably already knew that after the Persians summoned the gods, the Greeks were already discussing whether to use the gods' messengers to retaliate."
"The reason they haven't set out and appear hesitant is probably because King Leonidas of Sparta is trying to dissuade them."
Lin Ke listened to Ramses' words and just nodded slightly.
"The God of the Desert and the Nile is right."
"But as I said just now, the Spartan king has no bargaining chips in his hands right now, and the Greek fleet is here to support Sparta."
"Although there were conflicts among the many Greek city-states, they would all show unity when faced with external enemies."
"So, I think, apart from the King of Sparta, the Greeks are probably already eager to summon the gods and fight a decisive battle with the Persian Empire here."
When the succubus heard this, she just looked left and right, seeming a little at a loss for a moment.
"But Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, if this happens, the Greeks will also suffer heavy casualties."
"Their numbers are far less than the Persian Empire's army."
Lin Ke looked at the succubus and just raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"You're right."
"But the Greeks don't need to win here."
"They just need to defeat the Persian Empire's army here."
"And the Persians will lose their evacuation ships here, and lose the divine power they used to attack the city."
"In this way, the Persian army's manpower will be greatly weakened, and the difficulty of attacking the city will increase dramatically."
"The reason why Persia chose to attack from here was to launch a sudden attack with lightning speed and quickly capture the Spartan city-state."
"Obviously, their plan has failed. That's why the Persian emperor also intends to annihilate us and Greece here."
"For Persia, if they win this battle, they must burn their boats and use all their strength to capture the Greek city-states."
"On the contrary, if this battle is a tragic victory or a tragic defeat, they will all be buried here."
"After all, this is Greek land. They have no place to rest. The Greeks just need to concentrate their troops here and slowly wear them down."
When Nan Tong heard this, he widened his eyes and nodded.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to let the Greeks come over?"
"In this way, we can use the Greeks to destroy a powerful kingdom and civilization!"
"Otherwise, the Persian Empire will have its sights set on our Holy Egypt in the future!"
Lin Ke listened to what Nan Tong said and just shook his head slightly.
Then, he turned his gaze in the direction of the King of Kings.
"No, if Persia is defeated, then the vast territory of Persia will be eaten away and divided."
"The Greeks will not sit still and wait for death."
"No matter which power in Greece grows stronger, you must remember that the Greeks are united against foreign enemies."
"So what we have to do today is to stop this war before it really starts."
"This is just like us helping the Spartans. Only in this way can the Persian Empire and the Greeks continue to check and balance each other."
"If they are of equal strength, then they will become very serious about Holy Egypt."
"Because, as long as Saint Egypt lends even the slightest help, this balance will be broken in an instant."
"Do you understand?"
