"science teacher" should continue teaching science, not English.
This is a complex sentence. To be a compound sentence, it would need to have two or more independent clauses. But it has only one independent clause (which we can simplify to the following: "The man ... is greater than the man ...").
The sentence is complex because it contains one or more dependent clauses (two of them, in this case). The first dependent clause is "that conquers his baser nature," and the second is "that conquers a kingdom."
Hope that's clear. If not, ask for clarification.
