v8 Chapter 105： storm

"Thank you for the blessing of Melakat!" Annobs expressed his gratitude to the Phoenician Supreme God for his full joy. The reason why it was not thanks to Barth Ham, the protector of Carthage, was that Balham was the Lord of Lava, and the fire was never tolerated, so the naval battle was not in the realm of Balham.

Annobs joyfully believes that: Dionia's crows are light and heavy, and they are easy to overturn when the wind is strong. The fast three-layer paddles are also used for smaller size and lighter weight. Unruly to control; and on the flank, Carthage's warships are in a favorable position, which is a good time for the Carthaginian fleet to counterattack!

"Hey!..." The double-headed dragonship once again sounded the attacking army. The original sorghum's voice was low and hoarse in the clouds and the dark sea.

Annobas supported the boat with his hands and stood on the top of the tall ship's roof, letting the strong sea breeze blow his body. He constantly looked around the sea, and the warships on both sides bumped forward in the storm. ......

He didn't know if his men could hear the sound, but he was convinced that the carnival-savvy Carthage people would seize this favorable opportunity and return to it one by one!

"General, the wind is getting bigger and bigger, do we have to retreat first?!" The adjutant grabbed the helmet with one hand, fearing that it would be blown into the sea by the wind, and went to the side of Annobas, and said loudly.

"Retreat?!" Annobs seemed to hear a joke. He pointed his finger at the front and screamed at the sea breeze. "You oh!"

I saw a crow ship with a front mast not far from the front and a suspension bridge. The crows of the crows just clung a wave, and then another wave was pressed over... When the wave passed, the ship was dumped in the sea. on.

"Ha ha ha..." Annobas laughed happily: "You see no, this is a good opportunity! Even if you want to retreat, you have to wait for the Devians to retreat!"

.......................................

The same advice happened on the flagship of Dionya, and Seklely had no previous enthusiasm. He expected the weather to be not very good, but did not expect the wind and waves to be so great, causing great damage to the fleet’s warships. Difficulties, he has no intention to complain about why Poseidon accepted their pious prayers and generous sacrifices before the war, but helped the aliens when the fleet was about to win.

At the moment, the most troublesome thing for him is that even if he gave instructions for the retreat, the entire fleet was so widely dispersed that he even went deep into the port of Sellinus. Under such bad weather conditions, it was not his command to retreat. Can be said to withdraw and withdraw.

Just as he was struggling, "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The continuous roar in the sky, as if the thousands of drums were ringing above the clouds, so everyone was shocked.

Then, one after another silver-white lightning flashed above the sea, between the heavens and the earth. The dark clouds are getting darker and darker, and they are pressing down to the sea. The waves are getting more and more active, and the higher the height, the more like a huge animal mouth, to devour the lightning.

The downpour of the rain accompanied the gust of wind and slammed down like this, and suddenly the world was dark.

Whether it is the Carthaginians or the Diaonians, there is still a mind-boating battle at this moment. They don’t even dare to look out at the sea at this time, because the sea has now become an infinite abyss, and the endless darkness seems to be The souls of the human beings are swallowed up... The only thing all the crew, including the generals, can do is to crowd in the cabin and pray to Poseidon to pray for peace with a trembling voice.

"Hey!" A loud bang, a lightning flash appeared in front of the double-headed dragon, and Annobas, sitting in the tower, just looked out, and the white face suddenly became paler: by lightning Silver light, he saw a huge wall rising from the sea not far away, more than ten meters high, crushing them over the sea...

Annobas’s soul was gone, and where the previous command was confirmed, the image of the commander who had confidence in Carthage’s nautical technology disappeared, but his face was dull and muttered: “How is this possible! How is this possible? It’s not winter, how can there be a storm in the southwestern part of Sicily!...”

..........................................

The unpredictable nature of nature is what people can expect.

In front of the heaven and earth, the huge battleships are extremely small. Under the squally waves, these ships were not scattered by the huge waves and sank into the sea; they were thrown into the air and shattered...

The storm continued until dusk, and finally calmed down the wrath. The rain disappeared without a trace, the wind was turned into a smoked breeze, the sky was clean and there was no cloud, and the falling sunset was dyed golden red... The sea showed Her gentle and beautiful side.

But when the line of sight turned to the shore that was on the ebb tide, the sights that were seen were terrible: the beach was densely covered with the body of the white sea and the remains of countless warships; and in the ebb tide, there were countless human bodies and broken bodies. Ship board...

This horrible sight is not only visible on the coast of Sellinus, but also extends to the coasts of Mazara and Germe, even further afield...

Leo Tiddides, who was stationed in the north of the city of Serenus, had been worried about the safety of the Sicilian fleet. So after the storm subsided, he sent troops and medical camps to block the coast near Serinus. Start emergency rescue.

In the case of doctors and nurses who have spare energy, they will also treat the Carthaginians as long as he has a sigh of relief.

The colonial cities and allies of Carthage on the south coast, as well as the Greek city-states, have also sent personnel to the coast for search and rescue...

Whether it is the Carthage sailor or the Dionysian sailor, they have been stalking all the year round. They have experienced a lot of big winds and waves, and they may have escaped their lives in the storm that lasted for several hours, but the warships they control It is impossible to resurrect. In this large-scale naval battle, the Sicilian fleet of Dionia invested about 600 warships, and the fleet of Carthage had more than 500 warships participating in the war. As a result, there was no winner on both sides, and all the warships were probably all The storm is destroyed.

What is worse for Carthage is that they are responsible for transporting nearly half of the soldiers and heavy passenger ships, failing to enter the port in time, or being attacked by the Veonia warships, or being devastated by the storm, and finally buried in the belly. .

.............................................

The news that "the Divine Sicilian fleet was completely annihilated" has not yet reached the big Greece, and the army led by Daves, who knows nothing about it, has just arrived in Laos.

Today's Laos has changed a lot compared to a decade ago. Counting the Allies Campania League, on the west coast of Italy, there is a big Greece in the south, Lucania and Campania in the north, and Laos is at the midpoint of this long coastline. On the land, it is the transportation hub of Lucania and Bruti, so the geographical position is superior, and after several administrative efforts of the Chief Executive, coupled with the support of the Senate, Laos has become a kingdom. In a bustling port city.

Despite its small arable land and an urban population of more than 50,000, this is not a free man and slave in the port. It is because of its developed ports and numerous merchant ships that it is possible to use as few rounds of merchant shipping as possible. This huge army was sent to Latin.

In the process of the army entering the city, Klotok Katex curiously looked at the scene in the city, and also wondered about the strange dress of Hennipolis next to him: "Uncle Heni, now is not fighting. You wear a helmet and a cheek, and you have a mask on the outside. Don't you feel bored?"

Henipolis said in a voice: "Don't talk to me!"

In front of Daves, he turned back and smiled: "You Uncle Heni doesn't want people here to know that he is back."

"Why? Uncle Heni used to be the governor of Laos!" Klotok Katex was even more curious.

Davers shrugged and did not answer.

In fact, since Henipolis had served as the clerk of Davers in the late Southern War, he had never been to Raos once again, but this was his heart disease.

In fact, the rebellion of the Arrobuses and the riots of civilians in the past caused the population of Raos to be greatly reduced. More than half of the current residents of Laos were later moved in. Among them were descendants of Sobalis, Greeks, Lukaria, Bruti, Campania... a veritable multiracial mixed city Today's original Raos is no longer more than a decade ago The bottom of the city without money, but the kingdom citizens who own the land, operate the sea trade, can serve in the public office, participate in the city council elections, and make their own suggestions, so they are in the Kingdom of Dionia that can make their status change. And the king was grateful. When he heard that King Davers led the army to come to Laos, his city people took the family with his mouth and occupied the position on the road early, just to wait for the king to come. Something closer, I can see more clearly, let him hear his own cheers.

In the cheers of "Davers Kings Victory!!! Kingdom Wansheng!!!", the people are also excited to talk non-stop: "You guys! The middle of the head wearing a long-tailed helmet, wearing The golden armor is Dave's Majesty! Hey, how powerful and solemn he is! More than a decade ago, when he took the army through Laos and went north to fight against the Samonet, I saw him and he passed him for more than ten years. The appearance has not changed at all, it is still so young, it is a descendant of Hades!"

"Who is the young general next to him? It seems that his relationship with His Majesty is very close!"

"I listened to the port of the Turui businessman and said that this time the army went out, Prince Klotto Kataks will also participate in the war, this young man should be him."
