"You have encountered a new civilization!"
As expected, Lin Ke soon saw new information on the civilization panel.
"The leader of this civilization: [Pericles]."
"Civilization Name: [Greece]."
Obviously, although there are disputes and even different alliances in Greece in this world.
But if we talk about who can represent Greece, then it is obviously only Pericles.
Because the civilization panel has automatically regarded Pericles as the only leader of Greece.
Yes, Pericles, the ruler of Greece, had an even greater influence.
In Civilization VI, he can gain an early-game lead in Culture output by forming alliances with city-states, or by building an Acropolis or Wonder in the city center.
By researching civics that further their victory strategy, they will have a range of effective policies that they can generate and use immediately.
Simply put, Greece is the kingdom and civilization that can most easily achieve a Cultural Victory in Civilization VI.
Of course, if we apply this to the world where Lin Ke lives, it means that Greece's influence has spread to most of the Mediterranean.
His name represents not only military strength, but also Athens' flourishing democracy and brilliant cultural achievements.
Of course, Lin Ke was not surprised by this answer.
In his previous life, he had already known about Pericles' influence on the Greek world, and he also understood how this leader cleverly shaped Athens into a "school of Greek culture."
Obviously, Pericles is also a historical celebrity. Like leaders like Leonidas and Saladin, he has very personal characteristics and charm.
However, Lin Ke was both excited and wary about the upcoming encounter with this legendary figure at the World Conference.
Because, in Lin Ke's understanding of Pericles, Pericles is not only a powerful leader, he is also a skilled orator who uses sophistry skills and philosopher's logic.
But now, the relationship between Holy Egypt and Greece is not good. Although Holy Egypt saved Leonidas' life today, it also released the news of the Persians coming to the Greek world to Athens.
But this was not enough to make them substantially change their views on Holy Egypt, because when they were now able to destroy the Persian Empire's army, Lin Ke still had to dissuade them.
That is now.
"You must convey to Pericles what is happening here, and my opinion."
When the diplomat heard Lin Ke's words, he looked in the direction of the Persian army again.
The look he gave the Persians was not friendly, it was as if he wanted to eat them alive.
"Of course, Holy Pharaoh."
"Besides that, our Supreme General also asked me to come and express my gratitude to you."
"Besides saving Leonidas, he also expressed his gratitude to you for spreading the news."
"If you hadn't spread the news in advance, our Greek army wouldn't have been able to get here in advance."
"If you were not here today, I'm afraid we would have to fight a bloody battle with the Persian Empire."
The diplomat looked at Lin Ke with a smile, and then Lin Ke keenly noticed that his expression had changed slightly.
"It's just that the Persian Empire came here and killed hundreds of my Greeks."
The Greeks the diplomats were referring to were the Spartans.
"This action of the other side has constituted an act of war against Greece."
The diplomat looked directly into Lin Ke's eyes and his tone became heavier.
"While we appreciate your intervention, the Persian Empire's actions have crossed our bottom line."
"They came to these waters and killed more than three hundred of my compatriots, all of whom were Sparta's finest warriors."
As he spoke, the diplomat's fists clenched unconsciously. It was obvious that he hated those Persians very much.
"Holy Pharaoh, this is Greece, we have our own principles."
"If they hurt our fellow Greeks, they will have to pay the price."
"This is not only a matter of honor, but also a warning to future invaders."
His eyes shifted to the Persian fleet in the distance, becoming more and more hostile.
The Greek fleet in the distance did not make any movement. They still maintained that deployed formation, as if they could launch an attack at any time.
"While we are grateful for what Holy Egypt has done, we will not give up pursuing this blood debt because of anyone's dissuasion."
"This is not the first time the Persians have set foot on our territory. We cannot let them escape unscathed."
When Lin Ke heard this, his expression became a little serious.
After all, the purpose of his coming here was to stop the Persian invasion and prevent the war between Greece and Persia.
The reason why he released the news in advance was to allow the Greek fleet to deter Persia, but not to cause them to conflict again.
But obviously, the Greeks are not happy with Link's behavior now, they have their own opinions.
"Holy Pharaoh."
“Unless the emperor of the Persian Empire personally apologizes to us and makes appropriate compensation, we will not leave this sea area.”
"If necessary, we will fight the Persians to the bitter end until they learn how to respect the dignity of Greece."
Lin Ke knew that the Greeks' determination could not be ignored.
Just like the determination of the Spartans, the decisions they make are generally difficult to change.
Lin Ke could feel the anger and determination in the diplomat's words. Obviously, this was not just diplomatic rhetoric, but represented the true attitude of the Greek top leaders.
This was Pericles' attitude.
"I understand how you feel."
"Holy Egypt was once invaded by the Hebrew Empire, so I can fully understand how bad it feels to have the enemy set foot on your territory."
Lin Ke responded calmly and decided to continue defending his bottom line.
"But Holy Egypt sent its fleet here today to prevent the conflict from escalating."
"To stop the Persian invasion, but fundamentally, it was to prevent the battle from happening."
Having said that, Lin Ke pointed to the tens of millions of troops on the Persian coastline.
That is the location and direction of Thermopylae.
From a distance, you can see many corpses piled up at the bottom of the cliff, and those are the corpses of Persians.
"You say that the Persians killed three hundred Greek warriors. This is indeed a tragedy."
"But did you know that not long ago, the King of Kings ordered the execution of several high-ranking Persian generals?"
Of course, those generals who were killed were used by the King of Kings to express his "attitude" to Lin Ke.
But diplomats don't know this.
