"These individuals commanded forces that attacked Greek ships during the recent conflict."
"They killed those generals, and they did it on the edge of a cliff."
"If you had noticed just now, you should have been able to see it clearly."
"I think the Persians should have made their position clear."
Of course, the beheading of the generals and the Persians' preparation for withdrawal are both facts.
However, those generals were not killed as an apology to the Greeks.
But this is not important. What Lin Ke has to do now is to stop the Greeks from attacking the Persians.
The diplomat's expression showed a brief moment of surprise, but he quickly returned to his original vigilance.
"This does not erase the Persian crimes."
“That’s not enough.”
When Lin Ke heard what the other party said, he did not rush to refute.
Instead, he just nodded and acknowledged the other party's statement.
"Of course not, but I want you to understand the real situation here."
"On the surface, Persia lost several generals, but this is not enough for you."
"But in reality, their losses are much more serious."
"This loss far exceeds your so-called 'blood debt'."
"Those three hundred Spartans killed thousands of Persians."
"When I arrived here, I saw with my own eyes how the Spartan king led his warriors to fight against the Persians."
"They killed far more Persians than the Spartans, ten times as many."
After hearing Lin Ke's words, the diplomat was obviously stunned.
Apparently, Leonidas hadn't told them about the casualties here.
"Holy Pharaoh, you are not kidding, are you?"
"Three hundred Spartans faced an army of hundreds of thousands of Persian troops."
"You mean to say they killed more than three thousand Persians?"
As the diplomat spoke, his expression grew more suspicious.
Obviously, the other party suspected that the Holy Pharaoh in front of him was exaggerating.
But Lin Ke's expression did not change. He just raised his hand and pointed to the side.
"Look over there."
At this time, the diplomat looked in the direction where Lin Ke pointed.
That's below the cliffs near Thermopylae.
The sea water there has turned slightly red, and there are many red marks on the cliff that cannot be washed away by the waves.
As for the sea, there were still densely packed and countless Persian corpses floating on it.
"You didn't get to see the Spartans fight bravely."
"They defended the glory of Greece and made the Persians pay a heavy price."
"Yes, there are already many bodies sunk to the bottom of the sea, and there are also many bodies of Persian soldiers on the shore."
"Just based on what's visible to the naked eye, there are definitely more than two thousand people."
As expected, as soon as Lin Ke said this, the diplomat's expression changed again.
This diplomat was an Athenian. When he heard Lin Ke praising the Spartans, his expression became a little stiff.
But this was clearly a victory for the Greeks, not a crushing defeat.
"This is just the price the Persians should pay!"
"It's nothing, Holy Pharaoh!"
"We must make the King of Kings fear us, and we must make sure that the Persians never dare to set foot on the land of our Greek world again!"
"We will never let them leave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Nan Tong, who was behind Lin Ke, immediately took a step forward.
"How dare you, a mere diplomatic envoy, speak to our great Holy Pharaoh like this!"
"Watch your words! Otherwise, we won't let you leave here alive!"
The succubus also stepped forward at this time: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, how about you give us the order to capture him alive?"
"With the current strength of Holy Egypt, it is not a big deal to be enemies with Persia and Greece at the same time."
"This way, I can listen carefully to the painful sounds made by this Greek envoy as I torture him with my instruments."
The diplomat was shocked when he heard what Nan Tong and the succubus said.
His expression also changed slightly, and a bit of fear emerged from his face.
Then, he looked at Lin Ke, asking for help.
Lin Ke did not rush to speak, nor did he stop Nan Tong and the succubus.
He simply approached the diplomat and lowered his voice.
"The Greek messenger."
"If you insist on asking Persia to apologize, then I must tell you that this will only backfire."
"The King of Kings has just begun to consider the possibility of peaceful coexistence with Greece, and this was all done by me, Holy Egypt, not Greece."
"Your request is destroying the achievements of my Holy Egypt."
"Your request will force the King of Kings to retreat to a tough stance in order to save his remaining dignity."
The diplomat was silent for a while, obviously thinking about the rationality of Lin Ke's words.
But soon, he raised his head, but the determination in his eyes remained unchanged.
"Holy Pharaoh, even so, we must stick to our principles."
"The Greeks will not give up revenge just because the enemy stops here."
When Lin Ke heard this, his expression returned to that indifferent look.
The last trace of smile on his face completely disappeared at this moment.
"If this is a decision made by Greece, then I can only tell you with regret."
"If the Persian Empire decides to fight, Holy Egypt will have no choice but to side with Persia."
The statement caught the diplomat off guard, and his pupils dilated noticeably.
"Holy...Holy Egypt? Joining forces with Persia?"
Obviously, Lin Ke's answer caught the diplomat off guard.
He quickly glanced at the surrounding Holy Egyptian warships, swallowed his saliva, and then spoke again.
"But you just stopped Persia... Are you going to join forces with them again because of us?"
Lin Ke nodded, and he just explained lightly.
"Because we want to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but if Greece insists on fighting, that's another matter."
"Holy Egypt is not afraid of war, we just think that today's battle is unnecessary."
"If you still want to launch an attack, you are forcing us to join forces with Persia."
The diplomat's expression became complicated, and he was obviously trying to weigh the authenticity of the threat from the Holy Pharaoh.
If Holy Egypt really joins forces with the Persian Empire, Greece will face unprecedented pressure.
The number and size of the navies of the two sides combined far exceeds that of the Greek navy.
But on the other hand, he was very confused as to why Saint Egypt changed its position so easily.
"Excuse me...Excuse me, Holy Pharaoh."
"Your position puzzles me. One moment you stop Persia from attacking us, and the next moment you threaten to attack us together with Persia... Isn't this a contradiction?"
