After he reminded them, many people remembered.

Thales was the wisest man on the eastern coast of the Aegean Sea. I heard that his disciples once discussed philosophy with Plato of Athens!

The news of Thales' death has been deliberately spread by Persia in recent days in order to undermine the fighting spirit of the Greek city-states.

But at the same time, his prophecy was also remembered by many people.

What did Thales say?

He said, "The Persian army will eventually be completely defeated by the power from the water!"

At first, everyone thought that Thales was talking about the armies of other Greek powers that had crossed the sea.

But now, everyone finally understands!

"The King possesses the ability to communicate with the Sea God! He was the one who requested the Sea God to send forth the monstrous waves! This must be the case!"

"Yes! The power of water that Thales spoke of really is the power of water itself! In the face of the power of God, no matter how large the Persian army is, it has no chance of victory!"

"That's right! There are so many people in the city and they don't know what to say. I'm afraid a spy might inform the Persian king of this secret, so I'm going to use another method to evacuate everyone! To prevent anyone from being accidentally injured by the wrath of the sea god!"

"My king is truly a combination of magic, calmness, and kindness! It is such a blessing to be his subject!"

…

The crowd talked more and more, and in the end they could no longer hold back.

Everyone chose to go down the mountain from various roads.

The young and strong all ran towards the wreckage of the Persian army in the south, intending to join the king's troops, clean up the battlefield, and take revenge!

The elderly, the weak, women and children, carrying large and small bags, began to return to the destroyed Alexandros to rebuild their homes!

However, no matter which team they are from, everyone’s admiration and gratitude towards the king are the same!

When the people welcomed this king, they just wanted to find someone to take advantage of them.

But now, everyone is proud to be a subject of King Stoby!

At this moment, Xia Zhe's fleet was passing by the wreckage of the Persian fleet.

Discovering that their small fleet was completely destroyed, everyone in Xia Zhe's fleet began to associate ideas unconsciously.

Since the tsunami could destroy the fleet sailing along the coastline and even the city of Alexandria, it should also harm the Persian army!

The Prime Minister and the High Priest almost simultaneously proposed the idea of ​​going south to take a look.

The vast majority of crew members are also very enthusiastic about this.

Although he didn't want to cause any more trouble, he still believed that the law doesn't punish everyone. Fearing that everyone would disobey his orders in the future, Xia Zhe could only nod and agree with the Prime Minister and the High Priest to each command a ship to go south and see what happens.

The two men accepted the offer with pleasure and soon each commanded a boat.

While waiting for the two to return, Xia Zhe did not dare to land, so he had to aimlessly send the ships to search and rescue at sea, looking for the survivors of the disobedient small fleet who had fallen into the water.

Thanks to timely search and rescue, more than 100 people who fell into the water were rescued.

But many more can never be found again.

All the crew members who were lucky enough to be rescued had flushed faces when they saw Wang.

I am so stupid. The king clearly gave the correct instructions and reminded me twice, but I just didn't listen.

He thought he was so great, but in the end he almost died in the terrifying huge waves!

In particular, among the rescued people, there was also a captain.

Seeing the king, he was filled with shame and without a word, he drew his sword and intended to commit suicide.

The road ahead would be quite bumpy. Every extra person counts, and Xia Zhe certainly couldn't let him die.

He hurriedly ordered the people around him to take away his sword, and comforted him with a few words. Only then did Xia Zhe let Spartacus escort him out of the cabin.

As a result, the troops were even more encouraged and excited.

It’s not easy!

A golden opportunity to attack the Persian fleet was right before their eyes, yet the king prioritized rescuing the drowning victims!

Even if these people fell into the water, it was entirely their own fault!

This is a truly benevolent ruler! People-oriented!

Completely different from those superiors who only know how to talk slogans!

If you work hard to follow such a benevolent monarch with both virtue and talent, why worry about not being able to achieve great things and bring honor to your family?

Xia Zhe didn't care what others thought. He just wanted the Prime Minister and the High Priest to return quickly, and then continue to flee towards Thasos.

Xia Zhe has made up his mind.

If the Prime Minister and the High Priest have not sent back any news after an hour, we will not wait for them!

Just run away!

After more than half an hour of rather impatient waiting, news from the Prime Minister and the High Priest finally arrived.

The message said.

The Persian fleet had been completely destroyed, and the southern sea was littered with wreckage. The enemy no longer had a single ship capable of fighting!

What’s even more exciting is that the Persian army of one million also suffered a devastating disaster!

Their losses were even greater than the navy's!

At this moment, let alone fighting, I'm afraid we will even lose the ability to escape!

What?

There are bargains to be found!

Upon hearing this information, Xia Zhe suddenly changed his mind. He decided not to escape for the time being and go get some benefits first.

He immediately ordered all the ships to advance south to see the place where the Persian army was destroyed.

The search and rescue work here has come to an end.

Upon hearing Xia Zhe's new order, all the soldiers were excited that they could "finally give the fallen dog a good beating."

Without any nonsense, everyone immediately took their positions, paddled with all their might, and headed towards the southern waters.

When they arrived at the place where the Persian army was destroyed, the two ships of the Prime Minister and the high priest were running rampant there.

Having lost all their weapons, the Persian soldiers who had escaped by chance dared not fight against Stobi's warships!

They either fled quickly or surrendered without organizing any decent resistance.

With the arrival of the main force of Xia Zhe's fleet, this one-sided harvest became more and more enjoyable.

Some brave ships even chose to dock directly and rushed onto a devastated land.

The fleet not only captured many Persian generals and soldiers, but also obtained some treasures.

"Your Majesty! This must be the composite longbow used by the Persian Royal Guard archers! This weapon has an incredible range, a secret of King Xerxes of Persia. For years, it has caused untold suffering to the Eastern nations! Now that we have the real thing, if we can replicate it, we can create our own top-tier archers!"

"Your Majesty! That large section of the warship we just hooked, swept away by such fierce waves, is still largely intact. I'm afraid it's the newly developed five-section sailing ship of Persia! Its structure is quite impressive, and its overall performance far exceeds that of our warships! If we learn from it, the combat effectiveness of our future maritime fortress fleet will surely be greatly improved!"

"Report to my king! These two flags are the flags of the invading Persian navy and army! If we display them to the Eastern city-states, it will surely inspire their fighting spirit and unite a large number of people! Even with our country as the leader, it is not impossible to rebuild the Eastern Alliance, which has been defunct for thirty years!"

…

There was a constant stream of people reporting good news, all describing the surprises they had gained while cleaning up the battlefield.

However, Xia Zhe had no interest in these so-called magic weapons of war!

He kept frowning, worrying about the most important thing.
