Around them, some people who didn't know the truth began to whisper to each other, and some even joined in the fun.
But more people remain silent and watch the developments quietly.
As for those who knew the truth, they just frowned and looked at those who kept mocking Saint Egypt.
Obviously, they could sense that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"The Holy Pharaoh bullies men and women and commits all kinds of evil?"
"They are upper-class people and they must know more than us."
"I didn't expect that the supposedly reasonable Saint Pharaoh would be this kind of person? Forget it, let's not get involved for now and wait and see how things develop."
Some people even looked at Lin Ke and made different sounds.
On the other side, Nan Tong's feet had already slightly left the deck.
He couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's enough! You know nothing about Holy Egypt under the Holy Pharaoh, yet you're talking nonsense here?"
The usually calm and steady Great Sun Magician was now like an enraged lion, unable to control his emotions any longer.
"Bullying men and women, committing all kinds of evil? That's just nonsense!"
"Do you know how the Holy Pharaoh treats the people of Holy Egypt? Do you know how the Holy Pharaoh treats the people of other countries?"
"While you fools were still enjoying yourself, he had already rebuilt and repaired dozens of cities!"
"While you're flaunting your ridiculous wealth, he's already saved nearly all of Holy Egypt from starvation!"
"While you were still mocking others, he was defending the sovereignty of Holy Egypt, expelling foreign enemies, and making friends with allies, thus creating an even more powerful Holy Egypt Alliance!"
Every word Nan Tong said hit the arrogant man like a sledgehammer. The man was obviously flustered by this sudden and fierce counterattack.
"Did you know that our Holy Pharaoh didn't raise taxes much during the war?"
"When disaster struck, he personally led a team to provide assistance to the allies. Have you ever heard of that?"
"He ordered the construction of granaries across the country to prepare for famine. How much do you know about these deeds?"
“The answer is, you know nothing!”
"madness!"
Nan Tong's voice echoed on the dock, attracting more and more people around to stop and listen.
Those who had initially been incited by the man's words began to show hesitation, for they had never heard these stories about Holy Egypt.
And the leader in gorgeous clothes who had originally mocked the Holy Egyptian man and had initially raised doubts also narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The most ridiculous thing is that you accused the Holy Pharaoh of 'bullying men and women'!"
"Did you know that just a few days ago, the Holy Pharaoh risked his life to personally rescue the King of Sparta?"
"It even stopped the Persian Empire from continuing its attack on Thermopylae?"
"You are able to stand here and speak freely, and the World Conference can be held normally, all thanks to His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"Who do you think you are to comment on our great Holy Pharaoh?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
But Nan Tong didn't stop talking.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh has done so much. Now we are merely borrowing a berth for the time being."
"He didn't even ask the Greek to find him a berth, nor did he even blame the Greek for a single word!"
"If you ask me, it wouldn't be too much for His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh to kill that guy right here! Why is our Holy Pharaoh, who has shown so much mercy, being criticized by you?"
"As long as His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh gives the order, I will turn you all into ashes right here and now!"
As soon as Nan Tong finished speaking, his whole body began to shine with the color of the sun.
There was a huge uproar on the dock, and many people began to whisper to each other, questioning the authenticity of the man's previous insults to Saint Egypt.
Not only that, there were also many people who could sense the power of magic. They noticed Nan Tong's magical power and they all looked at Nan Tong with surprise and fear.
The man who had sneered before continued speaking after swallowing hard.
"One! That's nonsense!"
"It's just one side of the story. How can you prove it?"
"That he stopped the war and saved the Spartan king is totally untrue!"
"How could we not know about such a big thing!"
At this moment, a Spartan warrior in the distance ran over quickly and came to the center of the crowd.
"Yes, what this magician said is true!"
"The Holy Pharaoh went to Thermopylae alone and rescued our king!"
"Leonidas is on the island. If you don't believe me, you can confront our king!"
At this moment, the crowd's condemnation immediately changed.
"What? So this guy is slandering the Holy Pharaoh?"
"I'm telling you! Saint Pharaoh is obviously a reasonable man, how could he be like what this guy said?"
"The magician is right! We just heard the Holy Pharaoh and the Greek officer say they would only be anchored for a short while before leaving!"
"You haven't listened to the Greek's explanation, nor do you believe the words of the Holy Pharaoh!"
"How despicable you people are!"
At this moment, the dozens of people who had originally shown disdainful expressions towards Saint Egypt immediately fell silent.
Even the few people around the man began to waver, and they secretly exchanged suspicious glances.
The man's face flushed red and cold sweat broke out on his forehead because he never thought he would be subjected to such a fierce counterattack.
However, Nan Tong had no intention of letting the other party go.
"Hmph! Do you think I don't know what you so-called 'civilized people' think of us, Holy Egypt?"
"You call us pagans, barbarians, and consider us an uncivilized people."
“But let me say that true barbarism does not come from exotic civilizations from faraway places, but from those narrow-minded and stubborn souls!”
"This kind of stupidity is simply hopeless!"
This last sentence was like dynamite, immediately igniting the harbor shore.
Most of the onlookers were moved by the image of the Holy Pharaoh portrayed by Nan Tong, and they all looked at Lin Ke with admiration again.
The man was completely confused at this moment, and he stammered as he tried to refute.
"You...you're talking nonsense! These are all stories you made up to glorify yourselves!"
"Don't believe him! Look! The Holy Egyptian ship is still here..."
Nan Tong was about to attack again when he saw the Holy Pharaoh raise his arm.
"Nantong."
"It's just a misunderstanding. Now that everyone knows it, why don't we both take a step back?"
Nan Tong glanced at Lin Ke, slowly calmed down, and retreated behind Lin Ke.
But he still stared at the man and his entourage warily.
"The Holy Pharaoh is merciful and unwilling to argue with the ignorant."
