Chapter 190 A Great Naval Victory

Whether it is a war on land or on water, the wind direction has a very important impact.

In the history of another world, the southeast wind of Chibi not only brought the famous Battle of Chibi, but also laid the foundation for the three-way division of the world, making Cao Mengde's dream of unifying the world come to nothing. It can be seen that the wind direction has a great impact on the war.

In the war on land, the wind direction also has a very important impact on archers.

Therefore, nomadic peoples who are good at riding and shooting usually worship the wind god.

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

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

After the joint attack of Metis and Amphitrite put Europa at a disadvantage, the strong north wind made the burning warships drift towards Deucalion's fleet, as if the invisible hand of the gods pushed these warships towards Deucalion's warships.

Deucalion could no longer care about these, because after Roy's warship collided with Deucalion's warship, Roy and Deucalion began a fierce battle.

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

Both of them were great heroes [Thousands of Enemies], and it was really difficult to tell the real winner for a while.

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

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

Although the Knossos soldiers had a strong will and their captain was as strong as Aries, a burning ship drifted over and hit the Knossos warship, directly knocking it over, and Aries and others directly won the war.

On the warship where Taurus, Roy's Phoenician follower, was, Taurus and his fellow Phoenicians were also fighting with a Knossos warship.

A burning ship was blown over by a strong wind. Although it did not knock over the Knossos warship, the burning warship stuck to the Knossos warship, and the high temperature of the flames made the Knossos soldiers escape from the warship and jump into the sea.

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

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

Leaving means accepting failure -

But not leaving means that the losses of Knossos will become greater and greater.

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 get rid of our enemies as quickly as possible."

Hearing Deucalion's order, Deucalion's sailors threw away various things to reduce the weight of the ship, and then sailed the warship to the south at the fastest speed.

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

Seeing Deucalion fleeing the battlefield with dozens of warships, Roy did not chase with his warship.

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

But the only things that could really be thrown in the cabin were food and water, and Deucalion's warship just threw away food and water.

Throwing away food and water, even if Roy's warship could really catch up with Deucalion's warship, I'm afraid many soldiers would starve to death or die of thirst.

After taking a look at Deucalion's fleet and confirming that Deucalion only had more than 80 warships left, Roy said to his soldiers with a satisfied smile.

"Everyone, go and save the captives in the water and seize the warships of the Knossos. Even if it is a burning ship, you can overturn the ship to put out the fire, and then bring the wreckage back to Athens."

The ships of this era were of course all wooden ships.

And after the wooden ship capsized, it would not sink into the water.

Many wooden cargo ships sank into the water and became ancient monuments thousands of years later because the large amount of cargo in the cargo ship increased the weight of the ship.

After the unmanned warship capsized, the food and water in the cabin were obviously not heavy enough to sink the warship.

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

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 the battlefield was cleaned up, Roy's warships captured more than a thousand prisoners, more than 30 basically intact warships, and more than 40 burned warship wreckages.

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

When the soldiers reported the rich results to Roy, Roy kept his sanity and said.

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

The soldiers responded to Roy with a warm call, and then this large fleet of 180 warships, led by Roy's flagship, sailed towards Athens.

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

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

"It seems that Knossos City's decision to launch this war is completely wrong. Proud Europa will bow her head to you from now on."

After saying that, Europa turned and flew towards the direction of Crete.

After watching Europa leave, Metis and Amphitrite turned and looked at Roy's fleet.

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

After saying that, Amphitrite pointed her left hand at Roy's fleet.

A blue divine power was immediately released from her left hand, turning into wind and waves to push Roy's fleet to speed up.

Metis said with a smile.

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

After saying that, Metis also stretched out her left hand and used divine power to turn into wind and waves to push Roy's fleet.

Roy's soldiers didn't need to row the oars at all, and the warships quickly sailed towards Athens under the push of 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 sea where the Athenian navy fought against the navy of Knossos.

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 want to see both Athens and Knossos lose. If Athens replaces Knossos as the new overlord of the Aegean Sea, how can my Donia rise?"

After saying that, a pair of wings stretched out from behind Pandora.

Flutter!

Flutter!

With the sound of flapping wings, Pandora's figure flew towards Athens at a very fast speed.
