Lin Tian and his men did not linger in the Persian country for too long, as it was quite dilapidated.
After a brief stay, they moved on to the next nation.
This next nation was also the final one that Lin Tian and his men intended to conquer.
The Arabian Empire.
The existence of this empire differed from that of the Roman Empire.
Due to its great distance, it did not possess the same renown as the Roman Empire.
And because of their remoteness, they were practically invincible in their region.
Although there were some smaller forces near their territory, none of them could match the Arabian Empire.
Therefore, the Arabian Empire had always developed very well.
In terms of current strength, while not necessarily comparable to the Roman Empire, it was not weaker than the Macedonian Empire.
This led Lin Tian's army to proceed with extreme caution upon arriving at the Arabian Empire.
Their arrival immediately drew the attention of the Arabian Empire, who were keenly aware of external affairs.
Consequently, they promptly dispatched a large army to intercept Lin Tian's forces.
"You are entering the territory of the Arabian Empire. Who are you? Please leave immediately!!"
Upon uttering these words, the Arabian Empire's forces stood ready, poised for battle.
Although their numbers were fewer than Lin Tian's army, they showed no fear.
Instead, they were eager to engage, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Clearly, they desired to confront Lin Tian's army and discover their origins.
However, they were unwilling to strike first, waiting for Lin Tian's forces to make their move.
Lin Tian had never encountered an army quite like this.
Thus, he regarded the Arabian Empire's forces with a sense of curiosity.
"You are the Arabian Empire?"
"Indeed! Ahead lies the territory of the Arabian Empire. You are about to cross the border!!"
"So that is how it is!"
"We are an army that has traveled from afar. Might we be granted a city to rest and recuperate?"
"?"
Lin Tian's request left the people of the Arabian Empire utterly bewildered.
They had never expected Lin Tian to demand a city right from the outset.
Such a statement was entirely beyond their anticipation and instantly ignited their anger.
"Arrogant wretches! What are you to demand a city from the Arabian Empire? You court death!!"
"I believe these individuals have come to cause trouble for the Arabian Empire. In that case, there's no need to be polite; let's crush them!"
"I've been eager to fight these people for some time. Now that they've provoked us, let us show no mercy. Attack!"
At the word "attack," many were moved.
They then looked to their general, awaiting his command.
Their general, however, had never seen Lin Tian's army before and was unaware of their prowess.
Although he noticed some differences in Lin Tian's forces, he felt no fear.
As others looked to him, he did not hesitate and issued the order to engage.
"Attack! Annihilate them!!"
Upon seeing Lin Tian's army, their spirit of battle was ignited.
Under these circumstances, the soldiers of the Arabian Empire launched their charge without delay.
This direct assault even stunned Lin Tian.
Despite their numerical advantage, and even though they were on Arabian territory, they had charged so impulsively.
This turn of events made Lin Tian begin to doubt.
"Could it be that they possess some sort of inherent warrior spirit?"
Lin Tian was unsure.
However, since the Arabian Empire's army had already begun its charge, he would not hesitate either.
As the Arabian Empire's forces surged forward, Lin Tian issued his own command to his army.
"Soldiers, heed my order! Charge!!"
Upon giving the command, Lin Tian himself led the charge, at the very front.
His army followed closely behind him.
This method of charging was something the Arabian Empire's forces had not anticipated.
But when they saw Lin Tian leading the charge, their eyes lit up.
These people of the Arabian Empire were exceedingly fond of battle.
As such, they greatly admired Lin Tian, who was at the forefront of the assault.
Generals who dared to lead from the front were indeed a rare sight.
Therefore, the general of the Arabian Empire exclaimed with excitement:
"The enemy general is mine. You, engage the others. Let me see how they fare against their general!!"
"Yes!!"
The soldiers of the Arabian Empire had no objections to this directive.
Consequently, as they charged, some of them consciously tried to avoid Lin Tian.
Of course, only a few could truly manage to bypass Lin Tian.
When Lin Tian began his assault, many were forced to confront him directly.
And then, Lin Tian's sword mercilessly cleaved their heads.
It was only in the heat of battle that they truly understood Lin Tian's terrifying combat power.
With their own strength, it was difficult to withstand even a single strike from Lin Tian.
This enabled Lin Tian and the Great Qin army to break through the enemy lines with ease.
Afterward, Lin Tian's offensive became even more straightforward.
With a mere swing of his sword, countless Arabian soldiers fell beneath his blade.
This continued until Lin Tian's sword reached the Arabian general.
At this point, the Arabian general's eyes were filled with solemnity.
Clearly, he had realized the immense power of Lin Tian's combat ability.
He understood that his own strength might not be enough to withstand such power.
However, despite this, he did not hesitate and continued to charge at Lin Tian.
This charge was a testament to his courage and thirst for battle.
Lin Tian held a degree of admiration for such a man.
Nonetheless, admiration aside, Lin Tian showed no mercy to those he had to kill.
Therefore, as the Arabian general clashed with Lin Tian, Lin Tian delivered a decisive blow.
This strike was undoubtedly fatal for the general.
With a single sword stroke, the Arabian general fell.
Though he still possessed the will to fight, he was now incapacitated, having been slain by Lin Tian's sword.
