The Great Emperor of the Turus Empire was dead, and the Turus Empire was utterly finished.
When Lin Tian returned with the head of the Great Emperor of the Turus Empire, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The remaining soldiers of the Turus Empire were plunged into utter despair.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is dead!!"
"It's over, our Turus Empire is completely finished, His Majesty is dead!!"
The army of the Turus Empire had been fleeing for so long precisely because their Great Emperor was with them, allowing them to persevere.
Now that their Great Emperor was gone, and dead, it was a matter of immense despair for them all.
They could have held on a little longer, but now that their Great Emperor was dead, no matter how much they wanted to persevere, they couldn't.
Consequently, although Lin Tian's army was still engaged in slaughter, the army of the Turus Empire had already abandoned all resistance.
This abandonment of resistance saved Lin Tian's army considerable trouble.
Their slaughter became even simpler.
And under their onslaught, the army of the Turus Empire was quickly annihilated.
After their annihilation, Lin Tian led his army back.
"Let's go, to Persia!!"
Persia was incredibly famous, especially in later times, when Persia directly rose to the status of Great Qin.
They not only promoted their religion but also established their dominion.
How could Lin Tian possibly let such a nation go?
The people of Persia were unaware of this.
After the armies of the Turus Empire and Lin Tian had departed, they were first stunned, then began to rejoice.
"They're gone, they're all gone!!"
"They've left, they've all left, this is truly wonderful!!"
"Indeed, it is a good thing. This time, our Persia might have truly escaped disaster!!"
Previously, the people of Persia had believed their nation was doomed.
Many of them had already prepared themselves for death.
After all, at that time, the Turus Empire had already broken through their capital, and with one more push, all of them would have perished at the hands of the Turus Empire.
Just then, Lin Tian's army appeared. They not only drove away the army of the Turus Empire but also left the area themselves.
This caused the entire nation of Persia to change completely.
Though Persia was now in ruins, they had no enemies, and their nation remained their own.
Upon understanding this, all the people of Persia were overjoyed.
Of course, some still harbored concerns.
"Although they have all left now, who can guarantee they won't return?"
"Indeed, it cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, with their power, if they were to return, we would face immense trouble!!"
"This... they definitely won't return. They couldn't possibly return. Our Persia is so weak, they, they shouldn't care about us."
Facing the Turus Empire, Persia had no power to resist.
How much less could they resist Great Qin, which was even stronger than Persia?
Therefore, in their hearts, they could only pray that Lin Tian's army would not return, so that Persia would still belong to them.
Even in their hearts, they repeatedly repeated this thought, constantly brainwashing themselves.
Making themselves believe that their Persia still had hope.
This brainwashing did convince many Persians.
However, just as the Persians were convinced, Lin Tian's army reappeared in Persia.
The time elapsed was no more than half a day.
Upon seeing Lin Tian's army appear, the people of Persia fell into utter despair.
All their hopes were shattered at this moment.
"Why did they come back? Why did they come back??"
"I, I don't know, but I know that our Persia definitely cannot withstand their attack!!"
"Then what do we do? How can we survive!!"
For the people of Persia, survival was incredibly difficult.
At this moment, they were racking their brains, desperately trying to figure out how they could survive.
Lin Tian was unaware of their thoughts.
However, since he had come to Persia, he had no intention of sparing it.
And because of this, he led his army directly towards the capital of Persia.
That immensely powerful army plunged the people of Persia into even greater despair.
Many of them felt that if Lin Tian's army were to attack their capital, their fate would likely be even more tragic than before.
Therefore, at this moment, they desperately needed a way out.
Under this desperate urgency, the King of Persia made a decision.
He decided to surrender Persia.
This was something no one had anticipated.
Even Lin Tian was somewhat surprised when he heard the news.
He had rarely encountered a surrender from the beginning until now.
Even the Turus Empire, only when their Great Emperor was all that remained, did their Great Emperor think of surrendering.
Now, Persia clearly still possessed a sliver of resistance.
Under these circumstances, the King of Persia choosing to surrender left Lin Tian truly at a loss.
He didn't know how to arrange for the King of Persia, nor how to arrange for him reasonably.
The King of Persia was unaware of Lin Tian's thoughts.
However, when Lin Tian's army arrived, the King of Persia, along with his ministers, knelt without hesitation at Lin Tian's feet.
Then, they cried out in unison.
"We implore you to spare the lives of our Persian people!!"
The people of Persia did not know who Lin Tian and his group were. The only thing they knew was that Lin Tian and his group were incredibly powerful, so powerful that they could take their lives.
Therefore, all they could do was beg for a path to survival.
Upon hearing this plea, Lin Tian hesitated for a moment.
Then, he spoke:
"Since that is the case, then we shall spare the lives of your Persian people. However, Persia must provide us with sufficient wealth, and also build ships for our Great Qin!!"
"Of course, you can no longer be called Persia. You will only be considered a prefecture or county of our Great Qin."
"From this day forward, there shall be no more Persia, only Great Qin!!"
Lin Tian's words directly extinguished the existence of Persia, which was an enormous blow to the nation.
However, Persia no longer possessed the ability to resist. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, they had no choice but to accept it.
And because of this, although they survived, from this day forward, there was no more Persia.
