According to common sense, the joint fleet of the six countries would definitely not be able to defeat the main force of the Athenian navy.

Both of them felt that instead of letting those foolish so-called battle-hardened generals follow the old path, it would be better to try according to the king's request.

Regardless, the king had been right throughout this voyage, and had even defeated the god of war Themistocles twice in battles of wits.

The best choice is to follow the king firmly.

Whether you can understand it or not is not important!

Of course, the Prime Minister and the High Priest could not clearly state the reason for following the clouds.

Because Wang had told me before going to bed that I couldn’t tell too much to others.

"Vote! Those who wish to follow King Stoby's detour raise their left hands. Those who wish to take the direct route due north raise their right hands. Whichever side has the most votes will proceed!"

In desperation, Eurybiades proposed a solution.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Everyone understands that time waits for no one!

No matter which way you go, it's safer to move quickly.

The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation becomes for the six-nation joint fleet.

After all, this is still the traditional sphere of influence of the Athenian navy! The enemy can continue to increase its troops!

Soon, the voting results came out.

Eight votes to eight votes!

The number of people who chose the two options is exactly the same.

Although, those who agreed to go due north were all veterans of many battles, those who agreed to go northeast were mainly civil officials who were conquered by Xia Zhe's reputation.

However, Eurybiades had already stated that each vote would have the same weight.

The final decision depends entirely on Hector's opinion.

Because he was the only one who was still hesitating and had not made a decision.
