"I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"

Persia controlled a huge part of the global population and the vast majority of the "urbanized" world.
Quite an achievement, considering that the second guy (Assyrians) had only loose control over less than half the territory of the Persians.
