Lin Ke knew very well why these Persian envoys came.
You know, the war on the Persian front was at its most critical moment, and their army was fighting a fierce battle with the Greek Federation.
If it were not for this, when Holy Egypt attacked the Hebrew Empire, Persia and the Greek Federation would probably have secretly intervened to seek benefits.
Therefore, the other party sent envoys at this time most likely because of the Sword of Truth.
The Sword of Truth is now in Lin Ke's hands.
With the Sword of Truth, one can summon the Supreme God of Persia. The power of this Supreme God is extremely powerful.
He had witnessed the divine power of the Most High God in Jerusalem.
Obviously, the other party's envoy came here most likely for the Sword of Truth.
Although Lin Ke did not have much dealings with the Greek Federation, he could see from the battle of Sun City that the Greek city-states were also a very powerful alliance.
You know, even the Hebrew Empire in its heyday was no match for the Greek Federation.
Persia, which was able to fight against the Greek Federation, was naturally not a weak kingdom.
Under such circumstances, if the Sword of Truth returns to Persia, the Greek Federation will naturally face great pressure.
When Lin Ke thought of this, he just took a deep breath. He was ready to listen to what the other party's envoy would say.
After a while, a strong exotic fragrance drifted into the hall.
Four tall men walked in slowly, each holding a golden staff inlaid with gems.
They wore conical hats, silk robes, and wide belts with silver buckles around their waists.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the necklace on their chest made of various gemstones.
That looks like a lot of value.
An elderly man in the lead stepped forward, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Holy Pharaoh, the representative of the Persian Empire pays tribute to you!"
Then he continued speaking in the common language with a slight Persian accent but still fluently.
"May you be like the Nile River, bringing eternal prosperity to your kingdom."
Another envoy continued to speak at this time.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! Our great Nadir Shah has sent us all the way here just to witness your glory with our own eyes and congratulate you on your glorious victory in the holy war against the Hebrew Empire!"
He spread his arms and made a very exaggerated gesture.
"Just as the Taurus Mountains will eventually be covered in ice and snow, we know that the victory of justice will ultimately belong to the great Holy Pharaoh!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly, not unfamiliar with this kind of gorgeous words from Persia.
"Thank you for your wishes. Persia has always been a friend of Holy Egypt. I hope our friendship will last forever."
The older envoys were overjoyed when they heard this, and then they all bowed.
"Indeed, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! We have brought you a small gift as a token of our respect."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Persians behind them worked together to carry out an exquisite wooden box.
When it was opened, there was a gorgeous suit of armor inside.
It is forged from sterling silver and inlaid with gold and sapphires.
Obviously, this was the imperial armor they gave to Lin Ke.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! This is a masterpiece of the Persian Empire's craftsmen!"
"The entire set of armor is made of meteorite iron, a specialty of the Himalayas, and incorporates ancient Persian secret techniques. It is as light as a feather yet stronger than rock."
"The gemstone on the armor is said to be able to predict danger. It is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our Persian royal family."
Lin Ke picked it up and examined it with great interest. This piece of armor was indeed extremely light.
This production process is already superior to that of Holy Egypt.
Lin Ke stroked the material of the armor, it was indeed extraordinary.
"This is a truly invaluable gift, and I am deeply grateful."
"However, speaking of the Holy Egypt of the Persian River, I must mention the giant elephant troops that were recently imported from your country."
“They played a vital role in the conquest of the cities of the Hebrew Empire.”
When the envoy heard Lin Ke's praise, he was just surprised.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is too kind!"
"If it weren't for the Saint Pharaoh's bravery and strategic planning, even a hundred thousand elephants wouldn't have been able to turn the tide of the battle."
"So, it wasn't the giant elephant's credit, but rather the bravery of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
He paused deliberately, deepening his smile.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, our leader Nadir Shah predicted this before we set out."
"He said, 'Holy Egypt will prevail, and the Hebrews will be defeated.'
"He firmly believed that His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh was like the brightest star in the sky, destined to illuminate the entire continent."
Lin Ke just chuckled when he heard this.
Of course he knew that these were just nice words from the other party.
When purchasing war elephants, the high price offered by the Persians was enough to illustrate their attitude towards the war.
If they were truly as confident in Holy Egypt as they now claim, how could they demand such an exorbitant fee?
Obviously, Persia would rather the two major powers engage in a long war of attrition so that it can profit from it.
After all, the longer the war lasted, the greater the demand for weapons, food, and other supplies, which meant a steady stream of profits for Persian merchants.
However, Lin Ke did not expose this.
After all, this is how the secret game between kingdoms works.
Either you die or I live.
Being able to become friends is a choice that is good for everyone.
"Speaking of which, how is the war between your country and the Greek Federation going?"
"I hear it's been going on for quite some time."
As soon as Lin Ke mentioned their war, the envoys' expressions became complicated.
The older man cleared his throat.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, the battle is indeed quite stalemate."
"Although the Greeks are cunning and skilled in warfare, our Persian soldiers are even more courageous and fearless."
"As our leader Nadir Shah said: War is like a gardener pruning a bush; a moderate pruning makes the tree grow stronger."
"He also said, if there is no war in heaven, how can there be joy?"
“Therefore, we will uphold this philosophy and continue to fight against the Greek Federation until we achieve final victory!”
Although Lin Ke felt that the other party's remarks were extremely outrageous, he still nodded politely.
"May the gods grant you victory."
“War is brutal, but it is a measure of a nation’s resilience.”
After the two sides had a few routine exchanges, Lin Ke noticed that the Persian envoys exchanged subtle glances with each other, as if they had something to say but were hesitant.
The older envoy coughed, obviously trying to organize his words.
Lin Ke knew very well that the other party was going to ask about the "Sword of Truth"
As expected.
"Your Majesty, Holy Pharaoh, when you conquered Jerusalem, did you discover the sacred relics of my Persian Empire?"
