The other side.
On the island of Delos, guards have gathered for unknown reasons, just in case.
After all, they didn't understand why so many ships were able to approach the area of Delos. Logically speaking, Greek ships should have gone there to negotiate and provide guidance long before.
However, they only found out later that many Greek ships had actually been sent to the islands where the Persians stationed their ships.
Simply put, when they looked at the ostentatious fleet of Holy Egypt from afar, they all mistook it for ships from other Greek city-states.
Therefore, no one approached the Holy Egyptian fleet to inquire. Obviously, this was a major work mistake, but no one seemed to notice it.
Of course, the most important thing is that as long as Pericles doesn't know about this, no one will be punished.
Otherwise, there will be severe punishment.
"Look over there!"
At this time, the guards on the shore pointed to the rear of the Holy Egyptian fleet.
“There are so many ships!”
As the Holy Egyptian fleet approached, more ships gradually appeared.
There are not just dozens of ships in front, but also groups of ships behind.
Not only that, each ship was extremely huge. In the eyes of the guards, it actually constituted a very large fleet.
A threatening fleet.
"Such a huge ship, such a large number of warships?"
A man from Sparta saw the fleet of Holy Egypt and couldn't help but exclaim.
"A fleet like this isn't here to attend a meeting, it's simply here to demonstrate force!"
And his companion nodded: "No, not just force."
"Look at their sailing formation, it's so neat and uniform. How many years of training and running-in did it take?"
"It demonstrates a kind of discipline and organizational ability, and that's what's most terrifying."
"It seems that we still know too little about Holy Egypt. I never expected that they trained so many soldiers and built so many ships in obscurity."
“We were both in the Mediterranean and we had no idea about it.”
"But no matter what, Holy Egypt has helped our king. As long as he doesn't become an enemy of Greece, then we can be at peace with each other."
On the other side, Nan Tong came to Lin Ke and lowered his voice.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, the ships have begun to move according to your instructions."
"They will come as close to the coast as possible so that more Greeks can see our fleet."
"Although we cannot stay at sea, I feel that this is enough to achieve our goal now."
Lin Ke listened to Nan Tong's words and just raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Yes, it seems that our ships are not that backward. Even the Greeks are shocked by our ships."
"When the World Conference is held, the participating nations should be able to hear the name of our Holy Egypt."
“That was very helpful for my proposal.”
Nan Tong and his group nodded. They smiled as they watched the Holy Egyptian fleet, one ship after another, approaching the shallow waters of Delos Island and then sailing away into the distance.
The soldiers of Holy Egypt looked at the ships with a heavy look on their faces.
Of course, in the past, Holy Egypt had always been restricted in every way, but now, everything is completely different.
Holy Egypt not only had large ships, but also a fleet.
It even made the powerful civilization on the other side of the Mediterranean open its eyes wide and exclaim in amazement.
This scene looked like a dream to the soldiers of Holy Egypt.
So, none of them said anything, but just watched quietly, enjoying the sounds of admiration and amazement from people of another civilization.
On the other side, more and more Greek residents saw this scene, and the news of the Holy Egyptian Fleet spread quickly.
"Have you heard? Many large ships have arrived from Holy Egypt! I heard they are as big as Portuguese cargo ships!"
"Yes! Yes! Just go to the coast and you'll see that their fleet is about to anchor at another island!"
"Hurry! We can still catch up if we go now!"
Even people from other Greek city-states and other civilizations who had just arrived here began to move towards the coast.
Everyone wanted to see the true appearance of the Holy Egyptian Fleet.
Fishermen put down their nets, merchants suspended transactions, and even several representatives attending the World Conference walked out of the venue and came to the shore to watch.
"Wow! I've never seen anything like this in my life!"
"The ships used in the Greek-Persian Battle of Marathon were probably no more than these. Look at these ships!"
"Even the Spartan fleet doesn't have such momentum!"
Upon hearing this, someone immediately spoke out in opposition.
"Spartans?"
"The Spartans can't even build their own ships, so they have to rely on the craftsmanship of our Athenian craftsmen."
"As for the Holy Egyptians, judging by the design of their ships, they were definitely developed independently!"
"I really don't know how these people living in the desert came up with such a crazy idea? They can control it with just a sailboat, without even having to use oars."
"But isn't this operation very difficult? Why can their ships sail so steadily and so close to the offshore area?"
"Strange! How strange!"
This question caused those present who knew about ships to fall into deep thought.
For them, this is not just a gap in military or economic strength, but also a gap in technological innovation capabilities.
If the Greeks previously thought they had a slight advantage in shipbuilding technology, now they have to face a cruel reality.
That is, they have been left far behind in this area.
When Lin Ke heard the discussion among the people at the bow, the corners of his mouth curled up even higher.
Of course, since these ships are all produced by the civilization panel, Lin Ke only needs to give orders and they will be able to reach the target area accurately.
That is simply not something that can be understood with real theories and knowledge.
"But why?"
At this time, some people were talking to themselves in confusion and scratching their ears and cheeks.
"We Greeks are known for our wisdom, and our shipbuilding technology has a long history. Why were we so far surpassed by a desert civilization?"
"Could it be that they also build ships in the desert? Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense."
"Or does Saint Egypt have someone with great wisdom and guidance?"
No one could answer this question, but everyone felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
The arrival of the Holy Egyptian Fleet is not just a "display", for them, it is more like a warning, or a "provocation".
That is, the world was changing rapidly, and the Greek world might have been left behind.
