Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 105: Storm

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

"Thank Melekart for your blessing!" Annobas repeatedly expressed gratitude to the Supreme God of the Phoenicians, full of joy. The reason why we are not thanking Carthage’s protector Baal Ham is because Baal Ham is the lord of lava, and fire and water are never tolerated, so naval battles are not the domain of Baal Ham’s control.

Annobass happily thinks: Dionia’s crow warfare has a light bow and heavy feet, and is easy to capsize in strong winds and waves. The fast three-layer oar warship is also used for smaller bodies and lighter weights. It is difficult to control in strong winds and waves; and on the flanks, Carthage's warship is in an advantageous position. This is a good time for the Carthage fleet to counterattack!

"Woo!..." The offensive bugle sounded again on the double-headed dragon seat ship, the original high-pitched trumpet sounded low and hoarse on the cloud-covered and gloomy sea.

Annobus supported the ship rail with both hands, stood on the top of the tall ship, letting the strong sea wind blow his body, he kept looking around the sea, the warships on both sides were in the wind and waves. Bumping forward...

He doesn't know if his men can hear the trumpets, but he is convinced that the Carthages, who are experienced in sailing, will seize this favorable opportunity and come back little by little!

"General, the wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger, should we retreat first?!" The adjutant pressed his helmet with one hand, fearing that he would be blown into the sea by the violent wind, and walked to Anobath, and said loudly, uneasy.

"Retreat?!" Annobas seemed to have heard the joke. He pointed to the front, against the sea breeze, and said loudly: "Look!"

I saw a raven warship with a front mast and a suspension bridge not far ahead, awkwardly passing a wave, and then another wave came down... When the wave passed, the warship was already Dumped on the sea.

"Hahaha..." Anobath laughed freely: "You see, this is a great opportunity! Even if you want to retreat, you have to wait until the Dionians are defeated before retreating!"

…………………………………

The same advice happened on Dionia’s flagship, but Sekrian was not as energetic as before. He expected the weather to be not so good, but he did not expect the wind and waves to be so big, causing the navigating of the fleet’s warships. With great difficulty, he had no mind to complain about why Poseidon accepted their pious prayers and rich sacrifices before the war, but helped the aliens when the fleet was about to win.

At this moment, the most troublesome thing for him is that even if he gave the order to retreat, the entire fleet was scattered so widely, even deep into the port of Serinus. In such bad weather conditions, he was not the only one. The order to withdraw can be said to be withdrawn.

Just as he was thinking hard, "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The continuous roar in the sky, as if thousands of drums were sounding above the clouds, shocked everyone.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, silver-white lightning flashed above the sea, running through the sky and the earth. The dark clouds are getting darker and lower and lower, and they are directly pressing down on the surface of the sea. The waves became more and more active, rising higher and higher, like huge animal mouths, trying to swallow that lightning.

The downpour and the gusty wind slammed down like this, and the world was suddenly dark.

Whether it’s the Carthaginians or the Dionians, they still have the mind to row and fight at this moment. They don’t even dare to look out at the sea, because the sea has now become an endless abyss, the endless darkness. It seems to be able to swallow human souls... The only thing all the crew including the generals can do is to crowd in the cabin and pray to the sea **** with trembling voices for safety.

"Crack!" With a loud noise, a bolt of lightning appeared in front of the double-headed dragon's ship. Annobas sitting in the tower just glanced out, and his pale face suddenly became paler: Borrow With the silver light of lightning, he saw a huge wall swelling up on the sea not far away, more than ten meters high, rolling over them...

Anobath's soul is in the air, where is the previous command if he is determined, the image of the commander who is confident in Carthage's navigation technology disappears without a trace, just muttering with a dull face: "How is this possible!" How is this possible! It is not winter now, how can there be a storm in the waters of southwestern Sicily!..."

……………………………………

How can the unpredictable nature of nature be expected.

In front of Tiandiweili, no matter how huge a battleship is, it looks extremely small. Under the strong wind and huge waves, these ships were either scattered by the huge waves and sank to the bottom of the sea; or thrown into the air and smashed to pieces...

The storm lasted until dusk, and finally calmed down the anger, the heavy rain disappeared without a trace, the violent wind turned into a gentle breeze, the sky was clean without a trace of clouds, and it was dyed golden red by the falling sunset... The sea showed her gentle and beautiful side.

But when I turned to the coast at low tide, what I saw was terrible: the beach was densely covered with human bodies soaked in sea water and the remains of countless warships; and countless floating in the low tide water Human body and broken ship board...

Such a horrible sight is not only seen everywhere on the coast of Serinus, but also extends to the coasts of Mazara and Germe, and even beyond...

Leotizides, who is stationed at the General Camp in the north of the city of Serinus, has been worried about the safety of the Sicilian fleet, so when the storm subsided, he immediately sent troops and medical camps to blockade the vicinity of Serinus. On the coast, emergency rescues began.

When the doctors and nurses have spare capacity, they will treat the Carthaginians as long as he has a breath.

The colonial cities and allies of Carthage on the south coast, as well as the Greek city-states have also sent personnel to the coast to search and rescue...

Whether they are Carthage sailors or Dionian sailors, they have been in the sea all year round. They have experienced many strong winds and waves. They may be able to escape their lives in the storm that lasted for several hours, but they managed It is impossible for the warship to resurrect. In this large-scale naval battle, Dionia’s Sicilian fleet invested about 600 warships, and Carthage’s fleet had more than 500 warships participating in the battle. As a result, there was no victor on both sides. The storm destroyed.

For Carthage, what’s even worse is that nearly half of the passenger ships they were responsible for transporting soldiers and luggage failed to enter the port in time, or were attacked by the Dionian warships, or destroyed by the storm, and eventually Burial fish belly.

………………………………………

The news of "The Annihilation of the Dionian Sicilian Fleet" has not yet reached Great Greece, and the army led by Daves, who knows nothing about it, has just arrived in Laos.

Laos today has changed a lot from a decade ago. Including the Campania League, on the west coast of Italy, Great Greece in the south, and Lucania and Campania in the north, Laos is at the midpoint of this long coastline. On the land, it is the transportation hub of Lucania and Bruti. Therefore, the geographical position is superior. After the painstaking management of several chief executives and the support of the Senate, Laos has become a kingdom. In a prosperous port city.

Although its arable land area is small, the urban population has reached more than 50,000 people, which is not considered as freedmen and slaves in the port. It is precisely because of its developed port and numerous merchant ships that it can minimize the number of round trips by merchant ships. The huge army was sent to Latham by sea.

As the army entered the city, Cloto Kataks looked at the scene in the city curiously, and at the same time was puzzled by the strange appearance of Hernipolis: "Uncle Herni, now You are not fighting. You are wearing a helmet, you put on a cheek guard, and a visor on the outside. Don’t you feel stuffy?"

Henipolis held his voice and said, "Don't talk to me!"

Daves, who was in the front, turned around and said with a teasing smile: "Your Uncle Henney doesn't want people here to know that he is back."

"Why? Uncle Henney used to be the Archon of Laos!" Cloto Kataks was even more curious.

Davos shrugged and did not answer.

In fact, since Hernipolis served as Daves's clerk in the latter part of the Yugoslavia War, he has never been to Laos again. This is one of his heart problems.

Actually, the Alobmas rebellion and the subsequent civilian riots greatly reduced the population of Laos. More than half of the current residents of Laos moved in later. Among them are descendants of Subaris, Greeks, Lucarias, Brutis, Campanias... a veritable multi-ethnic mixed city.

Now the original Laos people are no longer the bottom layer of the city state without money and rights more than a decade ago, but a kingdom that owns land, runs sea trade, can hold public office, participates in city council elections, and makes their own suggestions. Citizens, therefore, they are grateful to the Kingdom of Dionia and the king who can make their status drastically changed. When they heard that King Davos was leading the army to come to Laos, the people of the city brought their families with their mouths. I took up a position on the side of the road, just to wait for the king to come closer to him, see more clearly, and let him hear his own cheers.

Amidst the cheers of "King Davos is victorious!!! The kingdom is victorious!!!", the people are also excitedly talking: "Look! The one in the middle is wearing a long-tailed helmet , Wearing golden armor is His Majesty Daves! Look, how majestic and majestic he is! More than ten years ago, when His Majesty led his army through Laos and went north to fight against the Samonaites, I met him for more than ten years. His appearance has not changed at all, he is still so young, he deserves to be a descendant of Hades!"

"Who is the young general next to your majesty? It seems that he has a very close relationship with your majesty!"

"I heard from the Turrii merchant in the port that this time the army will go out, Prince Croto Kataks will also join the battle. This young man should be him."
