"Understood!"

The messenger hurriedly rode his horse to deliver the message.

Soon, soldiers who hesitated and retreated were killed on all fronts!

Seeing this situation, the Theban heavy cavalry had no choice but to continue charging.

Relying on the powerful mobility of the cavalry, they quickly passed through the streets and alleys of Botaitia and finally approached the port.

The two rows of Greek fire arranged on the westernmost side had been captured by the close enemy forces.

The more than 30,000 Stobi militiamen guarding them were also killed!

Correspondingly, the Boeotian army also paid a heavy price, with more than 300,000 soldiers killed.

Fortunately, Greek fire was a high-tech weapon. Without knowing how to operate it, the Boeotian soldiers would have been unable to turn the cannon.

They could only helplessly leave this thing there and continue to rely on their flesh and blood to attack Stoby's subsequent defense line.

Seeing that the Theban heavy cavalry was about to rush here, Xia Zhe on the mast began to feel nervous.

If you don't run now, when will you run?

He quickly pointed to the sea in the south, shouted loudly, and made up an excuse to escape.

"The fleet should set sail immediately and head over there! There are enemy ships! There seem to be enemy ships over there!" Xia Zhe said.

Is the navy of the Utino Alliance invading?

Although other lookouts did not see any trace of enemy warships.

But everyone still trusts Wang's intuition.

Without hesitation, the high priest in charge of the flagship immediately ordered the ship to set sail.

The flagship set off, and the remaining fifty or so sea fortresses naturally followed closely.

Hector, who had only been watching the show since the war began and was eager to join the battle but had no chance, also hurriedly ordered the Trojan fleet under his command to catch up.

In an instant, seven or eight hundred warships left the port and sailed south, which was a spectacular sight!

Seeing this situation, the prime minister who was in charge of the defense of Botaitia, and even his generals, were not afraid.

No one doubted that Wang was trying to escape.

Because, on the front battlefield, Stoby actually fought very well, far exceeding expectations.

Our side only lost more than 30,000 people, plus a few dozen Greek fire tanks, which is less than one-tenth of the total number!

More importantly, the main defense positions deployed around the port have not yet started firing.

On the contrary, more than a quarter of the enemy troops were killed, and nearly a quarter were wounded or fell behind out of fear.

In other words, the battle for the outer positions has consumed half of the enemy's combat power.

If they were any closer and entered the main defense position, they would be completely defeated!

Any general with a little military knowledge can see this.

Everyone believes that the king, who possesses super wisdom, certainly understands it very well.

The king is sending troops to the sea at this moment, there must be some important mystery that no one can understand!

Finally reaching the open sea, Xia Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

The port was too far away and he could no longer see clearly.

He could only judge by the light of the fire and the loud noise of the Greek fire.

It was judged that the Boeotian army should have reached the port. The Greek fire guarding the port had already begun the attack.

"Well. Fight, fight. I'm already out to sea. Let me go back to the cabin and rest for a while. We'll see what happens after the battle in Botaitia! If we win, we'll go back. If we lose, we'll go straight to Thasos."

Xia Zhe thought to himself, went down the watchtower, and planned to return to his cabin.

Suddenly, the soldier on the other side of the mast looking out cried out in surprise.

"West! Look west! Lots of warships are coming!"

A lot of warships coming from the west?

Hearing this, the generals, who were still wondering if the king's intuition was wrong, along with the high priest and Hector, became excited.

They all rushed to the west side of the ship and looked ahead.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, a large and dense fleet was heading towards this side at full speed.

On the sails of each ship was a huge fish. Seeing this symbol, anyone with a little knowledge would be shocked!

"Athens! That's the symbol of Athens!"

"The Athenian navy has really arrived! I thought the Athenian Alliance was only sending out the army to attack the Great North this time!"

"Looking at the scale, there are at least one or two million troops!"

…

Everyone was talking about it.

The king’s intuition was correct!

The enemy indeed attacked simultaneously by land and sea!

At this moment, the Greek fire guarding the port has turned towards the land.

If this huge fleet were allowed to approach Botaitia, the port would be occupied in minutes!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that Wang's judgment was extremely accurate!

Our fleet has already set sail and is on high alert! We've already taken the initiative!

In this battle, it has become impossible for the enemy to launch a sneak attack!

"The time has come to test the power of our new warships!" Archimedes shouted excitedly.

After the test of the voyage to Alexandria and absorbing the technical advantages of the Persian five-section sailing ship, Archimedes was full of confidence in the second-generation sea fortress he designed!

In his opinion, what does it matter if the Athenian navy is powerful?

The more powerful the enemy is defeated, the more powerful the new battleship you design will be!

The others in Stoby's navy were not as technologically savvy as Archimedes, but they were still full of confidence.

Because this battle was commanded by the king himself!

And in everyone's heart, the king is an invincible existence!

Hearing the alarm, Xia Zhe was shocked and rushed to the side of the ship immediately.

Seeing the dark masses of warships in the distance and hearing everyone talking about "Athens", Xia Zhe was going crazy.

I'm such a jinx!
