Thoroughly!
Once and for all!
After hearing what Achilles said, Hector understood immediately.
Achilles was indeed showing weakness, and his purpose was to lure Eubia's ships closer.
Only by burning all those large ships can we completely put an end to Eubia's attempts at naval attacks!
It would take at least several years for Eubia to build a new ship.
With the speed of Stoby's development, it's hard to say who will attack and who will defend at that time!
Hector is very optimistic about the rise of the new force, Stoby.
In fact, Hector had a deeper consideration.
He wished to see for himself how effective Greek fire was against a large navy.
The last time Odysseus burned the Thasos fleet, Hector arrived too late and did not see the battle. He only saw the wreckage on the sea after the war.
Moreover, the barbarian fleet of the King of Thasos could only dominate the Thracian region. Compared with the real maritime powers, the gap was huge.
Hector wishes to understand the true power of Greek Fire.
If this stuff works well, be sure to get some for Troy to help defend the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus.
No matter how much it costs, it's worth it!
The pressure on the Eastern Persian Empire is growing!
Whether it's reinforcements or new weapons, the more the better!
Woo…
The attack horn sounded on the sea and the flags fluttered.
A large number of Eubia's ships began to approach the port of Thassos!
Originally, Hipparchus ordered an attack with a thousand warships.
But seeing the chaos in the harbor, the mercenary leaders all wanted their men to grab more things, so they sent out additional troops.
In the end, there were more than 1,500 large ships rushing towards the port of Thassos!
More than half of the Eubia expeditionary force has gone up!
"You really thought you got it for free! You're so enthusiastic!"
Seeing the enemy so brazen, Achilles smiled.
According to normal tactics, the enemy will usually send a small force of tens of thousands of people first to test the defense capabilities.
Achilles made special arrangements for this purpose.
How to use only the Thracian natives, without Greek fire and the Stoic army, to resist the temptation and further confuse the enemy.
Just in case, 100,000 Stobi regular troops were changing clothes in a hidden place in the rear.
If they couldn't hold on in front, they would pretend to be Thracians and charge forward to fight.
But no one could have imagined that the Ubians were so arrogant that they didn't even bother to test us.
This way, it would be much easier.
Achilles immediately ordered the entire army to be ready and to follow his orders.
Five hundred meters!
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
They were getting closer and closer to the port, but the Ubias' large sea ship showed no intention of lowering the landing craft.
Unlike the port of Thassos and Botaitia, the three sides of the coast are surrounded by deep water, so large ships can dock directly.
In this way, even though it was very crowded, the Eubian mercenaries were still unwilling to waste time by stopping the ship to board the boat.
They felt that whoever could reach the port first would get the best spoils.
"This group of people are really greedy for money!"
His mercenaries disobeyed orders, causing an extreme overcrowding. Hipparchus, on the distant flagship, was also quite helpless.
Come to think of it, this isn’t surprising!
Thasos is the largest port on the northern coast of the Aegean Sea. There are endless caravans coming and going, and all kinds of supplies are piled up like mountains!
Look around the port, those piles of things covered with huge cloth must be rare goods brought in by some caravans from tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Let these mercenaries rob a little, and you can pay them less!
Once our army captures the three golden cities and has a source of income, won't this chess game be successful?
"Oh no! Commander, look! Those cloths! Those cloths!"
Just as he was thinking about it, the observer on the top of the mast suddenly shouted.
cloth?
What happened to the cloth?
Confused by what he heard, Hipparchus turned around again to look at the piles of "goods".
Just one glance and his heart skipped a beat, and he almost fainted from fright.
Pieces of huge cloth were torn away, revealing the things hidden inside.
Oh my god!
Those are not goods at all, they are simply terrifying weapons that will make you unforgettable forever!
Greek fire!
So much Greek Fire!
What is going on!
Could it be that we sailed to the wrong port and accidentally arrived in Botaitia?
That doesn't make sense!
The terrain surrounded by the sea on three sides and the various ocean-going merchant ships are completely different from Botaitia!
"The flag's going up at the port! Look! The flag's going up at the port!"
Before he could recover from the huge shock, the observer on the mast above his head roared again, his tone full of fear!
Hippax took a quick look at the rising golden flag and became completely panicked.
"Send the message! Retreat immediately! Get away from the harbor immediately!"
After saying this, Hipparchus sat down on the deck, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
The terrifying weapon appeared, and the Ubia army, who were fighting for the berth to see who could land first, was also stunned.
Isn't this the Greek fire that burned everyone so hard back then?
When did this stuff arrive at the port of Thrace?
And there are so many installed!
If you knew this thing existed here, even a fool wouldn’t dare to come near it!
"Run! Get the boat out of here!"
"How do we drive? It's all so packed together! There's not even room to turn around!"
