More than one hundred ships of various types.
When moving, the huge ship is not much different from the nimble patrol boat.
The shipyard owners who had previously laughed at the rumors now just shook their heads and spoke weakly.
"I thought it was just a rumor! Who would have thought they had not only giant ships, but an entire giant fleet!"
"And, did you notice? All their ships are so huge!"
"Such a fleet organization is by no means achieved overnight. It must have been the product of long-term planning and practice."
"I didn't expect that this civilization on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea would be so dangerous?"
"Isn't this the same as the Persian Empire?"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of several people became even uglier.
At this time, a Greek merchant rubbed his temple and said, "I've sent people to the other side to do a lot of grain business, but I've never heard of them building ships on a large scale."
"Where did these ships come from?"
"It's impossible that it was built in such a short time. Otherwise, how could my merchants not have noticed it at all?"
When the other businessman heard this, he just smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid it came out from underground."
"What I mean is that our informants probably have no idea how much strength Saint Egypt is hiding."
"Think about it, how much wood, how many workers, and how much time would it take to build over a hundred ships?"
"But our intelligence network on the other side of the strait was completely unaware of it."
"Besides, do you think we wouldn't be able to detect such a big deal at all?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence.
Then, another businessman slowly spoke.
“This is no longer a question of shipbuilding.”
"I'm afraid this is a problem with the Kingdom of Holy Egypt."
"Whether it's building or purchasing, first of all, being able to concentrate some resources to build such a fleet means they have a strong center of power."
"Then this power center can mobilize national resources to serve a single goal."
"Do you understand what this means?"
The room was silent again.
Everyone immediately thought of the current situation in Greece.
Now, more than 30 city-states are independent of each other, competing with each other in business, and are superficially united in military affairs.
Even Greece was almost split into two major camps headed by Sparta and Athens.
"If they really have such strength, why are they showing it now?"
"They don't have to hide at all."
"Besides, this is a World Conference. Why are they making such a big fuss? A fleet like this is more than enough to capture the entire island of Delos!"
The other person just shook his head when he heard this.
"No, they have no such intentions. They have agreed to only allow the flagship to enter the main port, and the remaining ships will anchor in the waters of the small island to the northeast."
"Look, their fleet has already started heading for another island."
"Also, I just heard that Saint Egypt expressed its full respect for the rules of the conference and will not do anything beyond the norm."
Despite this, a tense atmosphere still shrouded the entire island of Delos.
The Greek garrison increased its vigilance, with archers and spearmen distributed throughout the port, ready to respond to possible emergencies at any time.
However, as more Holy Egyptian ships left Delos, the originally vigilant Greek defenders finally laid down their weapons again.
On the other side, on Delos Island, Lin Ke's ship was slowly approaching the shore under the guidance of the other party.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, your ship only needs to approach that port."
The Greek officer pointed to a berth on the east side of the dock.
That berth was originally designed for small and medium-sized merchant ships and is one of the more remote ones among the many docks on Delos Island.
Lin Ke looked in that direction from the deck and frowned slightly.
Obviously, the Greeks' prejudice against Holy Egypt was not a little bit too big.
I'm afraid these guys don't realize that the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt would actually come to attend the World Conference on such a huge ship.
Lin Ke’s ship could not enter this area regardless of its length, width, or draft.
Not only could the small berth not fully accommodate the giant ship, it couldn't even get close to one side of Link's ship.
"Friends of Greece!"
"Isn't your berth too small? My Holy Egypt ship can't even reach the shore?"
"Besides, the water isn't deep enough."
"I think this must be a mistake you made accidentally?"
Nan Tong came to the bow and raised his voice, which immediately attracted many people's attention.
The Greek who was in charge of leading the group turned pale instantly.
"This... this is reserved for the participating delegations..."
"Or please wait a moment! Please allow me to go and communicate!"
However, just as he finished speaking, Lin Ke signaled the crew to adjust the course and head towards the largest berth in the main port.
This action immediately frightened the Greek so much that his face turned pale.
"Please... please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"That...that place is not for you! That place is for..."
But Lin Ke's boat did not stop moving forward.
Its massive body turned and headed straight for the giant berth in the center of the main port.
This action immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the dock.
"What's that ship going to do? Is it going to the main berth?"
