lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
When he saw the emergence of the Dionia fleet, Admika’s first reaction was to retreat immediately, but then he saw the rapid attack speed of the Dionia warship, and then looked around. With a bloated fleet, he had to dispel this idea.
After a short period of thought, Admika thinks: The number of warships under his command is similar to that of the Dionian fleet in front of him, and his crew is more physically superior, and he can completely fight against him.
So, he quickly gave the order for the whole army to fight.
Actually, the ships of Carthage are already busy. They cut off the ropes that strained the ship, and drove the captives off the ship to the sea again. Even more ruthless ships forced the companions who were slashed by the infantry of the fleet. Jumping out of the sea first is to reduce the weight of the warship and restore its flexibility, but the salty water stimulates the wounds that have not yet healed, causing the wounded soldiers who jumped into the sea to make a scream and lasting scream, echoing through the entire fleet. In the meantime, the battle has not yet started, and a haze has been shrouded in the hearts of the crew.
Just as the Carthage warships are still busy, and even the ship formation is just beginning to line up, Dionia's fast warships have already rushed to the front...
The Dionian Captain Sesodorus, who was tied to the wooden pillars of the flagship bottom cabin, was being humiliated by the Carthage crew. Suddenly, there was a shout from the deck, followed by the The Carthage sailors were panicked. The fierce-looking sailor also let go of the hand that was holding his hair. He said a few loudly with a serious expression, and saw that the noisy cabin was quiet again. The sailor We sat on the wooden benches upright, holding wooden oars in both hands.
The captain yelled and saw that the sailors on one side began to paddle, while the other side remained motionless.
Sesodorus immediately felt that he was spinning with the wooden pillar. Although he could not understand what the Carthaginians were saying, as an expert, he knew that it was a warship turning around.
Why did the ship of Carthage turn around? He was guessing in his heart.
At this moment, a few lightly armed Carthage soldiers came down from the deck. They fiercely used spears and daggers to drive away the Dionian prisoners who were locked in the bottom compartment. One of the prisoners walked slowly. Some, the Carthaginian soldier pierced his chest with a spear without saying a word.
Sesodorus yelled in grief: These are his subordinates! What the Carthaginians are going to do!
The Carthaginian soldiers did not stop their atrocities. Some soldiers even came to him and wanted to **** him, but maybe the rope was tied too tight, or maybe this one captive was irrelevant. In the end they chose to give up.
"Great Hades,
You are the king of the underworld, the lord of justice, and the protector of the kingdom!
I control the warship, fight the sea, defend the kingdom,
If that day comes,
I went to your palace,
I hope you use a fair trial,
Give me the glory of being a warrior!
……"
The captain of the captive suddenly began to chant. The captives who were still struggling to rebel heard this voice, and suddenly became quiet, and they followed chanting. There was no panic on their faces. On the contrary, they were more tragic and majestic. The Taiji people pushed and shoved again, and under the solemn gaze of Sesodorus, they walked firmly to the deck, leaving only solemn singing voices echoing in the cabin...
Although the Carthage sailors did not understand what they were singing, they kept quiet for some reason and did not dare to interrupt.
The captain slapped Sesodorus in the face again, then waved his fist and cursed a few words.
The sailors immediately yelled in unison, as if all of them became very fighting spirits.
At this moment, there was a loud shout from the deck.
The captain yelled the same words again, and the piper sitting at the exit of the cabin blew the double-pipe flute. The sailors listened to the rhythm of the flute and speeded up the paddle uniformly.
Cesodorus swallowed the blood in his mouth without yelling. He knew: This battleship is accelerating, it is preparing for battle, and its enemies are naturally self-evident—our fleet is here. ! Come and destroy these **** Carthaginians! "
There were waves of joy in Sesodorus's heart, but he did not show it. Instead, he observed the situation in the cabin calmly. He turned his head and tried his best to let his eyes lean forward and backward through the sailors. The gap that was exposed when he was leaning up passed through the narrow cabin window, but all he could see in his eyes was the sliding wooden oars and the glowing sea water.
He retracted his gaze in disappointment and once again focused his attention on the cabin. He had to admit that the Carthage sailors were equally well-trained and cooperated in tacit understanding. Nearly 200 people were manipulating a warship as if manipulating his own. The body is average, no matter it is accelerating, decelerating, turning around, or turning, it is so smooth, without a trace of stagnation...
Therefore, he played a twelve-point spirit, and carefully felt the ship’s movement: This should be the attack speed, the Carthaginians still have room to spare, and should not have encountered our ship...suddenly stopped. Why? ...This is turning to the left, oh, speeding up, is our warship in front of the left? ...Accelerating, accelerating, this is the charge speed! The Carthaginians are preparing to attack our warship! what to do? !
Sesodorus was anxious, and suddenly opened his mouth and whistled.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Another high-pitched sound suddenly sounded in the cabin, but unlike the binaural flute sound, its rhythm is much slower. The two sounds intertwined, but it affects the sailors who are in a highly excited state. , The captain of the captive was pleased to see that the paddling rhythm of some sailors appeared chaotic.
At this moment, a big fist appeared in front of the eyes, and then the angry face of the sailor flashed, and then he was hit **** the head and fainted...
I don’t know how long it took, Sesodorus gradually regained consciousness,
He opened his eyes slightly, feeling that the atmosphere in the cabin was not as relaxed as before: the captain was nervous, listening intently to the orders from the deck, yelling from time to time; all the sailors were full He was breathing heavily, his muscles protruding in his hands, the muscles of his hands were exposed, his whole body was tense, and he tried his best to control his body on the wooden bench...Under such a tense state, no one paid attention to his awakening.
Sesodorus also felt his body leaning to the left and right with the wooden pillars. He knew in his heart: This warship was spinning and accelerating continuously, and it was under attack! !
Cesodorus's heart was like a mirror. He breathed slightly, trying to restore some strength to himself, while waiting for the opportunity.
After a while, there was a quick and nervous cry from the deck.
Under the command of the captain, the sailor on the left increased the paddling speed, and the sailor on the right stopped paddling. The ship turned quickly to the right; after a while, the sailor on the right began to speed up the paddling, and The sailor on the left resumes his normal paddling speed...
Sesodorus knew in his heart: This is a highly difficult "inverted s-slide", it is used to avoid the collision of the enemy ship, and then escape the tactical action of the encirclement, which means that the ship has been Siege.
In such a crisis, the Carthage sailors are still able to move neatly and cleanly.
However, there was a sneer on Sesodorus’s swollen face. He is a Lokri. In the eyes of outsiders, Lokri is accustomed to obedience under the strict city-state law, but he goes out and cuts his hands at every turn. In fact, punishment has also nurtured the character of willing to risk life and death and never shirk responsibility among some people.
Sesodorus will never let these Carthaginians who wantonly humiliate and kill the captives escape easily. He opened his mouth: "Hush!...Hush!...Hush!..."
Suddenly a high-pitched, rhythmic whistle sounded in the cabin again, and the highly focused sailors were suddenly astonished, and some of the sailors' wooden oars unconsciously followed the whistle to slow down.
The sailor roared, picked up the spear in the corner, and pierced Sesodorus's chest.
Blood flowed from the captain's mouth. Although his whistle was weakened, it did not stop. When there was a "boom", the whole ship trembled, and the warship suddenly stopped moving. The Carthage sailors exclaimed, and he passed away with a smile...
After the Carthage’s flagship was captured by the Raven warship, the infantry of the fleet saw the remains of Sesodorus, tied to the cabin’s wooden pillars and pierced by a spear in the chest, through the translator. The sailor asked, learned about the heroic deeds of Sesodorus, and was all moved.
It didn't take long for Midolades to learn of this, and he immediately ordered: "Carefully transport the body of Captain Sesodorus back to the flagship for proper custody."
When Sesodorus' body was carried to the flagship of the Third Fleet, Midolades and the crew of the entire ship stood upright and solemnly saluted him.
The Third Fleet’s assault hit the Admika Fleet, which was full of wounded soldiers, prisoners, and dragged the wounded ship by surprise, and its subsequent swift and fierce attack completely disrupted the unformed ship formation of the Carthaginians. After half an hour of fierce battle, the Carthage fleet was defeated and even its flagship was captured. The 3rd Fleet won the naval battle.
Considering that night is coming soon, Midolades ordered all warships to stop pursuing and quickly rescue all crew members who fell into the sea.
At the same time, Midolades also considered that the new Carthage fleet still has residual combat power, and the fleet has to pass through the coast of Sardinia on the way back, worrying that they will come at any time. To prevent his fleet from repeating the enemy’s mistakes, he also ordered all the Carthage warships captured by the raven warship to be sunk, not to rescue any Carthage sailors who fell into the sea, and even ruthlessly ordered that he was seriously damaged. All of the warships were also sunk.
Successive victories increased the prestige of Midolades. Under his insistence, the warships of the Third Fleet strictly followed his orders.
