After these words were spoken, many people's expressions became more confused.
"But isn't Saint Egypt the only new member this time?"
"Could it be that there are new kingdoms or civilizations joining in?"
"Have you heard any new news?"
Everyone shook their heads. Apparently, the only kingdom they knew about among the newly participating nations was the Kingdom of Holy Egypt.
"I haven't heard of anyone else attending the World Conference?"
"But such a large ship, and on such a scale..."
"Only the legendary giants could build a ship like this, right?"
The other one was joking, but his smile was clearly unnatural.
This seems unscientific to shipyard owners who are familiar with ships.
Because any one of these three things, namely, building such a huge ship, even having the scale to do so, and sailing it to Delos, would be difficult to accomplish.
Not to mention these three things happened together
"No, it couldn't have been made by humans!"
A man from a nearby island spoke firmly. He looked at the approaching ships, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
"I've lived here for thirty years and have seen all the Kingdom's ships that have come and gone here."
"Whether it was a leader's ship, one transporting cargo, or some flat boat or small boat that shouldn't be in the Mediterranean, I've seen them all."
"But I've never seen a ship of this level!"
"They're so huge, and there are so many of them! They obviously came prepared!"
"What civilization are these ships from? How could they be so bold?"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed Athens shipyard owner suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Wait! Look at that flag!"
"Look at the ship in front! It has a bigger flag on it!"
"That ship is the biggest and most different!"
People cast their eyes towards the place he mentioned, and indeed, on the several huge ships in the front row, a unique flag was fluttering in the wind.
There are deserts and rivers on it, and when the sunlight shines on the flag blown by the sea breeze, the desert and rivers in the flag seem to really flow inside the flag.
"Strange? I've never seen a flag like this."
"It seems they are truly a new civilization, a new civilization attending the conference."
"Yes, if they weren't a new civilization, they certainly wouldn't have sailed to Delos. It's clear they don't even know the rules here."
"I just don't know which civilization they are from? How could they build a ship like this?"
Of course, there are many people here who have never seen the flag of Holy Egypt.
But there are also people who have seen the Holy Egyptian flag.
So, an old man who had engaged in maritime trade in the Mediterranean suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He blinked hard several times and even rubbed his slightly cloudy eyes with the back of his hand.
"That! That is!"
His voice was trembling and frightened, attracting the attention of many people nearby towards where he was.
"That's the flag of Holy Egypt!"
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!"
"The desert and the river! That's the desert and the Nile! That's right! It's Holy Egypt! It's the flag of Holy Egypt!"
"Those ships are actually all from Holy Egypt?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Everyone who heard this opened their eyes wide, as if they had heard incredible news like the withering of the sun and the moon.
"Holy Egypt?! You mean, that's the flag of Holy Egypt?"
"Is it the civilization in the desert, the new civilization participating in this conference?"
Then, a few people simply stretched out their hands and hugged the back of their necks.
Obviously, this news had a great impact on them.
"Wait! Is this the Holy Egypt with the fleet that was rumored before?"
"Those ridiculous words are actually true?!"
For a moment, the originally noisy voices immediately quieted down.
Even the sound of the sea breeze blowing through the coconut trees can be heard clearly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"This is simply impossible!"
The Athenian shipyard owner who had mocked Holy Egypt before protested loudly. He did not agree with the words that had just been said.
"We all know those are just stupid rumors, how can they be true!"
"That flag, maybe... maybe..."
The Athens shipyard owner was speechless when he said this.
Obviously, the facts before us are irrefutable.
As the Holy Egyptian fleet drew closer, the astonishing size and innovative new design of those huge ships appeared before everyone's eyes with incredible clarity.
"Oh! Gods!"
“That’s simply a divine work of art!”
Then, a professional shipbuilder couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Look at the proportions of the ship, they're absolutely perfect! This level of achievement wouldn't be possible without precise calculations!"
"Holy Egypt's shipbuilding skills have now reached such a level?!"
Another of his colleagues also exclaimed in amazement.
"And the bow design. That curvature not only reduces resistance but also enhances wave-breaking ability. We never imagined that such a curve could be created!"
“How did they calculate it?”
The comments from these shipbuilding professionals shocked others even more.
Even these experts were conquered, so you can imagine how extraordinary these ships of Holy Egypt were.
Several shipyard owners looked at each other and fell into silence.
Their expressions showed only similar confusion.
"Holy Egypt? Holy Egypt!"
"We've said before that those desert peoples can't build ships. They don't even have shipyards!"
“But, but this…”
Another shipyard owner who was looking at the Holy Egypt ship now had a wry smile on his face.
"Yes, we said that."
"But now it seems that we were too narrow-minded."
"Those holy Egyptians not only built giant ships, but they built over a hundred of them at once!"
"What kind of kingdom and civilization are they? Just sailing these ships here would be a huge expense!"
"Do they already possess such a huge fortune now?"
The shipyard owner's words made many previous ship owners feel ashamed and frightened.
After all, they had always considered themselves the most advanced seafaring people in the Mediterranean, but now they were far behind a desert civilization.
"Only God knows how they built those ships!"
As the ships of Holy Egypt got closer, the sense of oppression brought to them by the huge fleet increased significantly.
Moreover, the ships still showed no intention of slowing down.
"But what are they doing here with so many ships?"
"Such a fleet is enough to conquer any island!"
