I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 190 A Great Naval Battle
Whether it is a war on land or a war on water, the wind direction has a very important influence.

In the history of another world, the southeast wind of Chibi not only brought about the eternally famous Battle of Chibi, but also laid the foundation for three points of the world, making Cao Mengde's dream of unifying the world come to naught. It can be seen that the wind direction has a great influence on the war.

In wars on land, the wind direction also has a very important influence on archers.

Therefore, nomads who are good at riding and shooting usually worship the god of wind.

The Dorians, a nomadic people in Thessaly, worshiped Aeolus, the god of wind, in addition to their ancestor god Heron [Prometheus].

At this time, the battle between Europa and Metis and Amphitrite did not directly affect the humans on both sides of the war, but their divine power influenced the direction of the wind.

After the combined attack of Metis and Amphitrite put Europa at a disadvantage, the strong north wind caused burning warships to drift towards Deucalion's fleet, like the invisible hand of a god. Push these ships to Deucalion's ships.

But Deucalion couldn't care less about these, because after Roy's warship collided with Deucalion's warship, Roy and Deucalion began to fight fiercely.

Roy stood on his warship, and the spear in his hand stabbed Deucalion like a storm. Deucalion counterattacked Roy while avoiding Roy's attack.

The two are both great heroes [A Thousand Enemy], it is really difficult to tell the real winner for a while.

While Roy and Deucalion were fighting fiercely, the Athens Navy and the Knossos Navy were also fighting fiercely.

On the warship where Aries was, Aries and his comrades were fighting a Knossos naval warship.

Although the Knossos soldiers had a tenacious will and their captain was as strong as the Aries, a burning ship floated over and hit the Knossos warship, directly killing the Knossos warship. The warship capsizes, and Aries and the others directly win the war.

Roy's Phoenician follower Taurus was on the ship, and Taurus and his fellow Phoenicians were also engaged in a Knossos ship.

A large burning ship was blown by the strong wind. Although it did not overturn the Knossos warship, the burning warship stuck to the Knossos warship. The high temperature of the flame made the Knossos soldiers Escape the warship and jump into the sea.

Before the battle between Roy and Deucalion was decided, Deucalion's soldiers persuaded him.

"Prince Deucalion, the wind direction is too bad for us, let's leave quickly!"

Leaving means accepting failure——

But if they don't leave, it means that the city of Knossos will lose more and more.

Seeing that his warships and soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, Deucalion finally shouted loudly.

"Retreat! Everyone throw away all unnecessary things on the ship, and use the fastest speed to get rid of our enemies."

Hearing Deucalion's order, the sailors of Deucalion threw all kinds of things to reduce the weight of the ship, and then sailed the warship to the south with the fastest speed.

After Deucalion's warship and Roy's warship separated, the battle between Roy and Deucalion was also forced to end.

Seeing Deucalion fleeing the battlefield with dozens of warships, Roy did not pursue with his own warships.

Because Roy's warship wants to catch up with or even surpass Deucalion's warship, it has to throw away a lot of things on the warship to reduce the weight of the hull.

But the only thing that can be used to throw away in the cabin is grain and water, and what Deucalion's warship threw away just now was also grain and water.

Throwing away the food and water, even if Roy's warship can really catch up with Deucalion's warship, many soldiers will probably die of hunger and thirst.

Glancing at Deucalion's fleet and confirming that there are only more than 80 warships left in Deucalion, Roy said to his soldiers with a satisfied smile.

"Hurry up, everyone, to rescue the prisoners in the water and seize the Knossos warship. Even if it is a burning ship, you can capsize the ship and put out the fire, and then bring the wreckage of the ship back to the city of Athens."

The boats of this era are, of course, wooden boats.

After a wooden boat capsizes, it will not sink into the water.

Many wooden cargo ships sank into the water and became monuments after thousands of years, because the large amount of cargo inside the cargo ships increased the weight of the hull.

After the unmanned warship capsized, the food and water in the cabin obviously did not have enough weight to sink the warship into the water.

Hearing Roy's order, Roy's soldiers rescued the living enemies in the sea and turned them into captives, and some soldiers boarded the Knossos warships.

The most daring soldiers even overturned the burning warship to put out the fire, and then turned over the wreckage of the warship after the fire was extinguished.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Roy's warship captured more than 1000 prisoners, got more than 30 basically intact warships, and more than 40 burned warship wrecks.

More than 30 warships were burned too badly, so Lowy's soldiers did not rescue them.

After the soldiers reported the rich results to Roy, Roy maintained his rationality and said.

"Soldiers, please work hard and return to Athens with our spoils."

The soldiers responded to Roy with a warm call, and then the large fleet of 180 warships sailed to Athens under the leadership of Roy's flagship.

With the end of the human war, Europa's war with Metis and Amphitrite ended at the same time.

Looking at the corpses of Knossos soldiers and the wreckage of warships left on the battlefield at sea, Europa looked at Metis and Amphitrite with a painful expression and said.

"It seems that Knossos launched this war is a completely wrong decision, the proud Europa will bow his head to you from now on."

After speaking, Europa turned and flew in the direction of Crete.

After watching Europa leave, Metis and Amphitrite turned to look at Roy's large fleet.

"Dear Metis, they have worked hard to win this war, let us send them a gale!"

After speaking, Amphitrite pointed at Roy's large fleet with his left hand.

A wave of azure divine power was immediately released from her left hand, turning into wind and waves to propel Roy's large fleet to speed up.

Metis said with a smile.

"This war defeated the hegemony of Knossos City, they really deserve my reward."

After finishing speaking, Metis also stretched out his left hand, using his divine power to turn into wind and waves to push Roy's large fleet.

Roy's soldiers didn't need to paddle their paddles at all, and the warship sailed quickly to the city of Athens driven by the wind and waves.

On a hill at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula.

Pandora stood on the top of the hill, looking at the waters where the Athens navy fought against the Knossos navy.

Seeing that the result of this naval battle was that Roy defeated Deucalion again, Pandora murmured with a complicated expression.

"Although the defeat of Knossos is what I want, I would like to see both Athens and Knossos lose. If Athens replaces Knossos as the new overlord of the Aegean Sea, I would like to How did the city of Niah rise?"

After finishing speaking, Pandora stretched out a pair of wings behind her.

flap!

flap!

Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, Pandora's figure flew towards the city of Athens at an extremely fast speed.
