Chapter 220 Perieres, King of Sparta
Thera Sea.
This strait between the Peloponnese and Crete has always been a busy and dangerous sea route.
Because ships of this era usually sail along the coast to ensure that the ships will not get lost in the endless and difficult to distinguish east, west, south and north sea.
When ships passed by Cape Maria at the southeast end of the Peloponnese, many ships encountered wind and crashed into Cape Maria.
At this time, a speedboat was sailing on the sea like an arrow from a string. Roy stood at the bow and looked ahead, thinking about mass production of compasses and nautical charts.
Ships of this era sailed along the coast, which not only increased the risk of being attacked by pirates, but also increased the time of sailing.
Roy promoted compasses and nautical charts on a large scale, and ships no longer sailed along the coast, which not only shortened the sailing time, but also reduced the risk of ships being attacked by pirates.
"Compasses and nautical charts can not only bring huge benefits to ships, but also ensure the safety of navigation. Even if I offer 10,000 kilograms of grain in exchange for compasses and nautical charts, I am afraid that those sea merchants will fight for them. But I will give compasses and nautical charts to those ship owners who come to Athens for trade for free, because the nautical charts I want to provide them only have routes in the Aegean Sea."
Roy had just made a decision when a fleet that was connected in a line like a long snake appeared on the sea in front.
This naval fleet, from south to north, had a total of fifty warships lying across the sea, which was obviously the coalition fleet of Sparta and Tenaron.
When Roy discovered this coalition fleet, the coalition fleet also discovered Roy's clipper and the twenty Donian warships behind it.
So the coalition fleet immediately adjusted its formation and prepared to fight the Donian navy brought by Roy.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the enemy, the captain of the clipper asked Roy.
"Your Majesty, should we stop and wait, and approach the enemy fleet with the Donian Navy?"
"Keep sailing at full speed!"
Roy said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fight the enemy. When our ship is only 300 meters away from the enemy ship, I will fight the enemy alone, and you stop to stop the Donians from interfering with my war."
Hearing Roy say that he would fight the enemy alone, the captain and the sailors all stared at Roy with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Although these Athenians knew that Roy was a powerful hero [Thousand Enemies], Roy's idea of challenging 1,500 people alone was still a bit too crazy.
Seeing the reactions of the captain and the sailors, Roy said with a serious expression.
"I'm not kidding, this war is my war alone. Just now I was ordering you to stop the Donians from interfering with my war."
After saying the last words to the captain, seeing that his speedboat was only about 300 meters away from the enemy's warship, Roy silently chanted in his heart and summoned his black wings.
Sky Wings——
As Roy called, the divine power in Roy's body surged to his back and a pair of black wings appeared.
Seeing a pair of wings growing from Roy's back, the captain and the sailors were shocked by Roy again.
Under the incredible gaze of the captain and the sailors, Roy vibrated his black wings, and his body instantly flew over a distance of 300 meters and landed on the flagship of the coalition fleet.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Roy's feet landed on the deck of the flagship of the coalition fleet, a young man wearing a crown and bronze armor questioned Roy.
"Are you a pillar god, or a human like us?"
"Do I look like a god?"
Roy said to the young man who questioned him while retracting the Sky Wings.
"You have never seen a human with wings before, but you have seen one today. I am a human like you. My name is Roy, and I am the king of Donia and the king of the Kingdom of Athens. The Attica Peninsula, Thebes, Eubia, Corinth, and Crete are all territories under my rule."
"The king of Donia is obviously Radamanthys."
As if he felt deceived by Roy, the young man frowned and said with an unhappy expression.
"Although you are a liar, I will introduce myself. I am Perieres, the king of Sparta and the commander of this coalition fleet. If you are a favorite of Radamanthys, you can tell Radamanthys that I have no intention of monopolizing the control of the Strait of Thera. As long as Radamanthys is willing to share the control of the Strait of Thera with me, the war between us can be avoided."
"The favorite of Radamanthys--"
Hearing Perieres's guess about his identity, Roy raised his bronze spear with his right hand and suddenly attacked Perieres.
There was a loud bang!
At the critical moment, Perieres used his spear to block Roy's attack.
Roy burst out with his own strength far superior to that of ordinary heroes, pushing Perieres back and teasing.
"Perieres, King of Sparta, I have more than just a pair of wings. Do you think I am a vassal of Radamanthys if I have this kind of power?"
In this era, only the strongest can become the ruler, there is no doubt about that.
Seeing that he could not match Roy's strength, Perieres widened his eyes in disbelief and looked Roy in the eye.
"Are you really King Roy of Athens - and you replaced Radamanthys as the king of Donia?"
"Do I need to deceive you? Just now you asked me for peace between the two sides, and now I ask you for peace between the two sides. In the future, the navy of Donia will no longer charge tolls to merchant ships, and will also crack down on pirates to protect the safety of the surrounding waters. As long as you promise me that your Spartan navy will not charge tolls to merchant ships, and is willing to crack down on pirates and protect the safety of the surrounding waters, the war between us can be avoided."
Hearing Roy's request, Perieres said angrily.
"You want us to crack down on pirates and protect the surrounding waters, but you don't allow us to collect tolls. You make such excessive demands on us. Do you regard our Sparta city as a vassal of the Kingdom of Athens?"
"If you don't want to accept my request, let's resolve the differences with war."
"King Roy of Athens, don't think we will definitely lose to you."
As soon as Perieres finished this sentence, he was pushed to the edge of the deck by Roy.
Just as Roy was about to threaten Perieres that if he didn't surrender, Perieres took the initiative to retreat and fell into the sea.
Seeing this scene, Roy was stunned for a moment.
Then he realized that Perieres obviously didn't want to commit suicide, but he was different from Roy who couldn't swim - Perieres could swim.
As soon as Roy came to his senses, a group of Spartan soldiers rushed over to attack Roy with bronze spears.
These soldiers who didn't know the truth must have mistakenly thought that Roy pushed their king into the sea to avenge Perieres.
