Xia Zhe is not a fool, of course he knows that the current situation is very dangerous.

For safety reasons, it is better to retreat to Tino Island.

As for whether the enemy ships will gather more and more after retreating, and where our reinforcements will be.

For a moment, Xia Zhe had no mind to think about it.

"This? While retreating might be fine for now, this is the heart of the Tino Alliance. If enemy ships continue to arrive, we'll have nowhere to retreat and no reinforcements. What will we do?"

The high priest whispered to the Prime Minister, expressing his concerns.

However, the king had already made the decision, and the high priest did not dare to speak loudly and disrupt the morale of the army.

He could only secretly ask his old friend, hoping that the Prime Minister could give a satisfactory answer.

"You are thinking too much! The king can easily handle situations that are much more dangerous than this. How can the knowledge of mortals like us be even a fraction of what the king has? Just do as the king says, and there will definitely be a surprise!" The chief answered confidently.

"That's true. I'm probably just getting old and overly suspicious. Haha!"

The Prime Minister's answer made the High Priest feel relieved, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

yes!

When Stoby was still a small mountain town, Wang relied on his extraordinary operations to make Stoby rise strongly despite the covetousness of many forces.

Compared with those critical moments in the past, today's situation is not that dangerous.

With the king's wisdom, he must have already made a backup plan.

What do I have to worry about?

Just watch the show patiently!

Soon, the Stoby fleet retreated to the port of Tino Island.

Seeing this situation, the Athenian naval commander who led the rescue team was quite nervous.

The Stoica fleet recognized the Athenian fleet, but didn't the Athenian fleet also recognize the Stoica fleet?

The commander was well aware that warships like Stoby's were equipped with terrifying flame weapons.

If we were on the vast ocean, we could attack from all directions at the same time, risking the loss of some ships, and perhaps even sink them.

But now, the enemy ships have retreated into the harbor. Without a wide front, launching further attacks would be futile and suicidal.

In desperation, the Athenian naval commander could only order the fleet to surround the port but not launch an attack.

Time, he believed, was on Athens' side.

As long as you can persist for three to five days.

Once the main fleet from the East arrives, it will only take a few minutes to destroy these Stoby turtle-shell ships.

Realizing that the Athenian fleet had learned its lesson and refused to fall for it, neither Xia Zhe, the Prime Minister nor the high priest had any good solution.

They could only let the Stobi fleet and the Athenian fleet fight each other.

Waiting for changes to occur.

With absolute confidence in the king, the Prime Minister and the High Priest were in a good mood during the two days they were stuck at the port.

Although both of them knew that Stoby only had more than 50 ships in total, and the others had not yet left the shipyard.

However, both of them firmly believed that reinforcements would arrive!

On the contrary, Xia Zhe was quite troubled.

He really couldn't think of any way to turn defeat into victory.

Even if he was extremely lucky, another tsunami occurred.

It seems that I can’t save myself anymore!

After all, the tsunami hits the land coast, but it is safe if you are in the vast ocean.

Now, it is not the Athenian fleet that is approaching the shore, but the Stobi fleet!

If a tsunami really comes, I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to destroy many ships, but our own ships will be lost.

After much thought, it seemed that this Tino Island would be his burial place.

Xia Zhe couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

I regret that I didn't do my homework seriously before going south.

If I had known that Tino Island was the core of the Tino Alliance, I wouldn't have dared to take advantage of it even if I had ten times the courage!

However, in order to prevent his soldiers from losing their fighting spirit, Xia Zhe did not dare to reveal his thoughts.

He only hoped that after some delay, the Athenian fleet guarding outside would leave due to lack of supplies.

By then, I must run away! I don't want to hesitate any longer!

Early morning of the third day.

As the sun rose slowly, a large number of ships appeared on the northern horizon, as many as two or three thousand.

Seeing a fleet of this size, Xia Zhe, the Prime Minister, and the High Priest were all quite nervous at first.

All three felt that this could only be reinforcements from the Athenian navy, and definitely not from their own side.

With these military reinforcements, the Athenian navy was confident of annihilating the small fleet of Stobius even if it launched a strong attack.

The end of the Stoby Navy is probably approaching!

However, when he saw the shape of the fleet's warships and the patterns on the sails, the Prime Minister couldn't help but jump up with excitement.

"This is not the Athenian navy! This is the Trojan fleet! See it, old friend! I told you a long time ago that the king has arranged everything! Do you believe it now?" The prime minister shouted excitedly to the high priest.

Others are unfamiliar with this fleet, but the Prime Minister is very familiar with it.

Because the ships of different countries not only have different logos, but also very different styles.

When the Prime Minister first planned to build a large ocean ship, the first ship template he referred to was that of Troy.

He remembered the design features of the Trojan ships very clearly, as if they were ingrained in his mind.

The Prime Minister could say with certainty that this fleet was definitely not the Athenian navy, but the navy of its ally Troy.

Although it was unknown where Hector got so many ships, the Prime Minister believed that this must have been a plan between the king and Troy.

No wonder Wang dared to wait here and was not afraid of being trapped to death at all!

He had already prepared a backup plan!

"I have everything arranged?"

After hearing the Prime Minister's almost insane screams, Xia Zhe was surprised in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly.

However, these few words instantly relieved the hearts of the soldiers on the flagship.

Everyone unconsciously followed the Prime Minister's crazy behavior.

"Great! Here come our reinforcements!"

"We have the advantage in terms of military strength now! Attack! Attack now! Beat him to pieces!"

"This is all the king's plan! Long live our king!"

"Long live our king!"

…

After venting their anger to the end, everyone began to shout rhythmically, "Long live our king."

As the flag signals conveyed the information of reinforcements, the Stoby soldiers on other ships also learned the truth.

The shouts of "Long live our king" echoed from ship to ship.

Everyone is in high spirits, rubbing their hands in anticipation, ready to fight their way out and vent their anger!

"What's going on? Our fleet didn't arrive, but the main force of Troy did!"

Seeing the ships coming from the north, the Athenian naval commander was also stunned.

He followed Pericles and participated in the Battle of Botaïtia, and remembered it clearly.

Troy also participated in the annihilation of its own vanguard fleet!

Apparently, Troy and Stoby are allies!
