"Isn't that right, Your Majesty, King of Kings?"
Leonidas emphasized the last title when he said this, his tone full of provocation.
These words caused a few leaders to whisper among themselves.
Because a few people know that not long ago at Thermopylae, it was Nadir Shah who led the Persian army to attack Greece, attempting to conquer this land.
Leonidas led three hundred Spartan warriors in a bloody battle, and although he was defeated, he was still honorable. Moreover, thanks to the help of Saint Egypt, Leonidas was able to survive.
At that time, Nadir Shah had tried to persuade Leonidas to surrender, but Leonidas refused in an extremely humiliating manner.
At this moment, Leonidas publicly mentioned Nader Shah, the King of Kings of Persia, clearly implying that Nader Shah's past acts of aggression were no different from those of Spain.
Just then, Nadir Shah slowly turned his head and looked at Leonidas.
His expression turned unusually cold and terrifying. Although their eyes only briefly met, it was as if their consciousness had returned to the battlefield of Thermopylae.
However, Nadir Shah, the King of Kings of Persia, no longer possessed the arrogance he once had, since he no longer had a million-strong army behind him.
Then, the entire venue seemed to sense the anger of these two powerful figures and immediately fell silent.
All eyes were on the two leaders. Even the most foolish person could sense the sparks flying in the air as their gazes clashed.
Nadir Shah held his head up, his hard-lined face showing no emotion whatsoever.
The same was true of Leonidas, and the muscles not covered by his robes all bulged out as if they had been inflated.
This attracted the attention of several female leaders of civilization.
"Hmph, the Spartan king is right."
Nadir Shah finally spoke, but his tone was anything but friendly.
"The actions of the Spanish were no different from those of aggression."
"The principle of the World Conference is to avoid unnecessary wars."
He paused, seemingly considering his words.
"But if some countries use the name of 'justice' to exercise hegemony, interfering with or even invading other countries, then such principles are nothing more than a fig leaf."
Leonidas responded as if he had heard a joke, but his laughter was icy cold.
"As expected of the King of Kings of Persia, his analysis is indeed very insightful."
"Revered King of Kings, if someone were to raise a banner and lead a million-strong army across the strait, intending to conquer the free city-states, what would you think?"
"The only concern is that a few leaders of civilization may not be able to keep their word."
Leonidas's words made the expressions of Philip of Spain and Nadir Shah, the King of Kings of Persia, even more unpleasant.
Nadir Shah, in particular, had a gaze that could almost kill.
"History is written by the victors, Spartans."
Nadir Shah then stood up, choosing to confront Leonidas's words directly, even though it might put Persia at a disadvantage at the World Assembly.
But for a proud King of Kings, he could not tolerate being insulted by the other party here.
"Leonidas, your three hundred warriors at Thermopylae are truly admirable."
"But you must remember that it was the Persian army that was on the winning side."
"Without that holy pharaoh, you would be nothing but a corpse now. What right does a loser have to criticize the victor?"
These words caused an uproar, and people began to discuss Nadir Shah's words. Meanwhile, the news about Thermopylae gradually spread among the leaders.
Many leaders were surprised that Leonidas was still alive and standing there, but most people turned their attention to the Holy Pharaoh sitting in the middle to the back.
"What?! That ordinary-looking Pharaoh actually saved the King of Sparta?!"
"How is this possible! Isn't that guy the leader of a desert civilization? Isn't Thermopylae near the sea?"
"You mean Holy Egypt has large ships?! Almost a hundred?!"
"The Holy Pharaoh, the Holy Pharaoh went to the battlefield alone, stopped the battle between the Persians and Spartans, and even dissuaded the Athenian navy?!"
"Just who was that Holy Pharaoh?! What kind of civilization was Holy Egypt?!"
More and more eyes began to focus on Lin Ke, and every leader looked at Lin Ke with surprise and disbelief in their eyes.
Some even argue that the Holy Egyptians shouldn't be seated so far back, considering they were the ones who truly prevented a war from happening.
Lin Ke glanced around. He hadn't expected that without him saying a word, the name of Holy Egypt would spread throughout the entire venue.
Right now, everyone is not talking about Spain or Persia, but about Holy Egypt.
Even Philip of Spain frowned and turned around, following the gazes of the others as he searched for the figure of the Holy Pharaoh.
Of course, Lin Ke could see from King Philip of Spain's eyes that he seemed quite dissatisfied with the civilization of Holy Egypt.
"Holy Egypt stopped a war!"
"A newly joined leader of a civilization has already implemented the principles of the World Conference?"
"No, no, no! That's impossible. Either the intelligence is wrong, or that Holy Pharaoh has ulterior motives. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen!"
"Yes, yes, it's too much of a coincidence that this happened right before the World Conference!"
The discussion grew so loud that Bolivar of Gran Colombia had to raise his voice again to maintain order in the room.
"Silence! Silence!"
The room fell silent once again after the leader of Gran Colombia spoke.
Looking at the Bolivar in Gran Colombia, Lin Ke felt more and more that this civilization seemed to be very extraordinary.
His influence at world conferences is almost unparalleled.
Of course, there are still several vacant positions, but at least according to the information Lin Ke has observed so far, that is indeed the case.
“Nadir Shah, strictly speaking, there were no winners in that battle.”
"As for you?"
Leonidas's words were sharp and even his tone was aggressive.
"Your army eventually withdrew from our seas, and today, our Greek city-states remain independent and free."
"Then, where does your so-called victory come from?"
Nadir Shah stared at Leonidas, clenching his teeth.
Then, he glared angrily at Lin Ke.
