"I don't care! Crash those boats! This is a race against time, no time for politeness!"
…
The mercenaries that had just been scrambling to dock at the port were now scrambling to retreat and get out of the attack range of the Greek fire.
However, more than a thousand large ships had already been surrounded by three layers of water, making it impossible to get through.
It is extremely difficult to retreat smoothly.
In order to have space to turn around, many Eubian ships fought with each other.
A large number of soldiers were beaten to the bottom of the sea by their own people and died.
But the boat on the water still couldn't move back even a little bit.

Whoosh whoosh…
Large flames gushed out from the barrels of more than a hundred Greek fire cannons.
More than a hundred large ships were immediately set on fire.
As the gun barrels rotated up and down, left and right, the number of warships set on fire soon reached five or six hundred.
The other warships did not catch fire immediately.

Soon, the fire spread to more than 1,500 ships.
Only a dozen or so ships on the outermost edge managed to escape.
The wails and screams of the Eubia army instantly filled the entire harbor, mixed with billowing smoke and the stench of burning bodies.

The Thasos natives, who were still trying to escape, were stunned. They stared blankly at the Greek fire that was spewing out huge flames, and seemed to understand something.
At the same time, the 500,000 troops that Achilles had hidden at the beginning also rushed out from all directions.
They lined up neatly around the harbor, each holding a bow and arrow, ready to shoot any Eubia soldiers who tried to jump into the sea and swim ashore.
