"Don't think your advice just now is enough to disrupt the morale of the army! Come, drag Hippias out and chop him off!"
Although these words were not harsh, they still touched Ramza's sore spot.
His eyes widened, and he ordered Hippias to be killed in anger.
This time, however, no guards stepped forward.
Everyone glared at Ramza and ignored his orders.
"What do you mean? Do you want to rebel?"
Suddenly realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Ramza shouted loudly, intending to use his domineering aura to subdue his subordinates.
"Rebellion? We are going to rebel!"
Hippax, who had been silent and timid, suddenly stood out from the crowd.
As he spoke, he stabbed Ramza fiercely with the sword in his hand.
Phew…
Ramza was completely unprepared and the sword pierced his heart directly.
He looked at Hippax in surprise, wanting to say something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, large amounts of blood gushed out of it.
With a whoosh, Hippax pulled out the sword that was stuck in Ramza's heart.
Ramza screamed and collapsed on the deck, his eyes wide open.
Until this moment, none of the generals and guards standing densely around took any action to stop it.
"The tyrant king is forcing us to die! We are also flesh and blood, how can we sit and wait for death! My brother Hippias is a famous sage in Eubia, and he has made many achievements in governing the country and the army! I propose that my brother Hippias be made the new king and lead everyone back home!" Hipparchus said sincerely to everyone.
go home!
Hearing these words, everyone present felt warm in their hearts.
Botaitia, it is obvious that it cannot be taken down.
For now, the best option is to return home.
Thinking of this, everyone knelt on one knee and spoke to the bewildered Hippias.
"I wish to make Lord Hippias my king!"
"I do, too!"
"I do, too!"
…
As more and more people knelt down, the trend of supporting Hippias as king became unstoppable!
Those who were not happy or even opposed in their hearts had no choice but to kneel down to avoid being isolated.
In the end, Hippias was the only one left standing on the deck.
"Me? I don't want to be king! I don't mean that!" Hippias declined.
"Brother, now only you have the prestige to lead everyone back safely! For Eubia, you must shoulder this burden!" Hipparchus advised.
"Yes! That's exactly the point!"
"Master Hippias, please stop refusing!"
"I only obey Lord Hippias! No one else, don't try to command me!"
…
Everyone agreed.
After hearing this, and looking at the countless wreckages of ships and dead soldiers in Botaitia, Hippias sighed heavily.
"Oh! Okay. I'll take everyone back first. We'll talk about becoming king after we get back." Hippias said.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they breathed a sigh of relief that the Eubia Expeditionary Force had finally decided to return and escape from the hell that was Botaitia.
Soon, the sea of warships began to turn around and slowly disappeared into the sea.
Seeing this situation, the 600,000 troops who were on high alert at the port of Botaitia burst into cheers again!
Miracle!
Stoby has created a new miracle!
Eubia, the southern power that suppressed Philip throughout his life, suffered a crushing defeat at the port of Stobi and lost nearly two million troops!
Finally forced to retreat!
Even Macedonia might not be able to accomplish such a great feat!
Now, who dares to underestimate Stoby?
Underestimating this newly rising force in the Great North?
Greater glory lies ahead!
"Long live Stoby! Long live my king!"
I don't know who it was, but someone took the lead and shouted.
Immediately, cheers of "Long live Stoby, long live our king" burst out uncontrollably from everyone's mouth.
The cheers gathered into a huge wave that could be heard several kilometers away.
Every soldier had tears in his eyes and vowed to remember this glorious moment for the rest of his life.
Even Achilles and Odysseus are like this.
"Are you okay? If you're okay, I'll go back first. You guys just take care of this."
Seeing the Youbia army withdraw, Xia Zhe spoke at the right time.
The memories of the densely packed warships on the sea have been deeply engraved in Xia Zhe's heart.
It is true that Eubia was defeated, but it is clear that it still has strength left.
Maybe they will attack again tomorrow or even tonight.
Or maybe they gave up attacking here and landed somewhere else in a couple of days.
To be on the safe side, let’s leave quickly.
While there are no ships on the sea, quickly board the ironclad ship and head into the river mouth, then you will be safe.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhe said those few words, stood up and left with the guards, and soon disappeared on the beach.
The king left without even reviewing his troops?
Looking at Xia Zhe's receding back, all the ministers were a little confused.
Then, they all came to their senses.
"The kerosene formation just now was arranged by the king himself!"
"And it's not just that! Even the massive amount of Greek fire that could completely cover the coastline was deployed at the king's behest!"
"Also, no one thought of setting up coastal defenses. It was Wang Li who, against all odds, prioritized setting up the port!"
"Let's take a closer look. Even the construction of Botaitia itself is a testament to the king's foresight!"
